Bot Shots Ironhide Launcher Released in the UK

Is getting the Ultimate Bot Shot Battle Set from Argos news? I only just saw it available and got one today

IIRC I think it's been in Smyths stores but still good to hear the set is getting out there.

This is news? Wow these have been out for well over 2 months in the Uk

The Ironhide launcher I got via UK ebay a few weeks back, they def haven't been out for a few months...

Had mine for a while too (in Taiwan). The Ultimate set just came out here last weekend, along with the jets 3-pack.
-still waiting for Jazz and single-pack Powerglide. And clear Optimus. And the Acid Storm 3-pack.

It may be that wave 1 (Prime & Megatron) have been out for a bit. I've heard nowt about Ironhide being out, and I do subscribe to the UK sightings thread.

Prime and Megatron have been out ages and are shelf warming in my local Sainsburys. I'm waiting on wave 4 still in the UK and the second batch of 3 packs.

I didn't know this was news, I saw one in TRU Enfield last... Thursday, so a week ago when I went in to buy a load of Team GB Lego Minifigs.

I saw it on the endcap (opposite the Megabloks) had a look and left it. I assumed it had been out for a while and not new.

Aye, I dont go for Botshots- but Ive definitely seen the Ironhide launcher one a couple of times over the last few weeks. Because I picked it up to look at it as it looks like some sort of super awesome micromaster caravan

This guy was released in my local Toymaster 3 months ago, I didn't think it was worth mentioning since the colours looked boring and thought he was mass released everywhere. I also saw loads of them in Toys R Us two weeks back.

Now the news I'm waiting for is wave 4 of Bot Shots.

well I know what I saw and picked up and then put down because those blades looked too silly.

and judging by the others I'm not alone.

No He's been out a long time - months in fact he's been repeatedly spotted in TRU and Large ASDA's I know as I've been swearing about it for weeks as I have neither near me - I finally got one 2 weeks ago in Toymasters.

And he's been out quite a while in America too he's just poorly distributed.

I wouldn't worry about the blades the fold up and you don't really notice them - I keep thinking the idea is to re-docorate the set as ratchet sometime as I tried Ratchet in it and he fits perfects since he's derived from a similar mould that shares parts with Ironhide he fits fine.

Oh and I put in a e-mail when in stock email request for the Matrix botshot giftset and I got an E-mail on Tuesday to say it was in stock. They also had it on the shelf when I bought Ironhide in Toymaster - not only that but they had he Prime wave with Knockout and Vehicon in it I stil can't find a Bumblebee Cyberverse vehicle in the UK though.

just went out this morning before this was posted and picked up what seemed to be the last one to my suprise at my local tru lol. And i was just about to post about it

I didn't know their was a Bot Shots Ironhide and he's got the movie deco going? is their a G1 red deco of Bot Shot Ironhide?

Nothing as yet, but one has to be in the works I would think.

I got the Ironhide Bot Shot today at my Walmart along with Jazz
No launchers seen yet. But its the first time I've seen those guys and I had to have them!

The 2013 Spinshot Ironhide looks like it's Red - its got a quite different look to the Botshots one though - there is another single packed Ironhide in a latter wave as a single packed toy - that one is black.

I wonder if they might make a clear red one as a future chase figure perhaps ?
Sunstorm suggests that they are going to still make Botshots as well as the other kinds like Jumpshots & Spinshots etc. into 2013..

I think it's quite impressive that we actually got 40+ figures in just a few months and many more to come next year too.

The only downside being is has it - I wonder distracted Hasbro from developin the Cyberverse line a bit more than they did in 2013. I'd not be surprised if the 2013 Legions are a bit thin on the ground still too (I hope they don't replace them with (new) "Legends" -Data Discs completely) I have a suspicion that Legions in particular is a line they are throttling back on and will only come back in force when the 4th Movie comes out.

Interesting!!!...hadn't heard about the Ironhide one b4, lucky to find the large battle set around here..TRU had those.
