2005 Board member, Goldlock, has picked up the new Bot Shots Sentinel Prime figure and provided us with a nice little review. Goldlock goes into detail here about how the game works that is included when you pick up the new Bot Shots figures. The game is based on Rock, Paper, Scissors or in this case; Blaster, fist, Sword. When you have your Bot Shots auto transform the symbol on their chest is revealed. Almost akin to Battle Beasts with the exception that you can have your Bot Shot figure utilize any of the three symbols. The interesting part of this Sentinel Prime figure is what it’s based on. This translucent red figure has more in common with Kre-O Sentinel Prime than it does with the movie, IDW or Animated versions of the character.
Take a look at the images after the break!

This should be moved to the toy review forum.
Bot Shot is a pretty cool subline. They cost $4 at Target and have a fun and easy game that goes with it. The vehicles remind me of Choro-Q cars.

who wants to repaint these to not look so damn translucent and….ugh?

Ah, I did not notice the update/edit made to the first post. Definitely makes the game more interesting. If they did only have one symbol it would become rather predictable…

You are mistaken – from the first post –

If I'm not mistaken, each one of these things only has one symbol…

I don't know if it's the Spock gets poisoned, Spock Smash or Spock is Disproven that make me laugh the most. Though Spock would have to have his Phaser with him to be able to vaporise something.

I feel strangely compelled to grab a few of these.
I want Sentinel Prime, but I'm changing his three symbols to Autobot, Decepticon, and SG Autobot

These definitely seem more interesting than they did previously. The RPS aspect to them is definitely a plus. Not sure if I'll get any of them, but I'll wait to see how they look in-person, and what they're gong to be priced at.

You lost me at "Gun = Paper"

All the "gun should beat XXX" talk reminds me of:

That's news to me! Where did you hear that? (Legitimately curious, not trying to be a dick, I promise!)

I'm still waiting for the review. I hate it when people upload a bunch of photos to do the talking for them and call it a 'review'. You don't know the definition of the term.

huh, this is kinda cool… i may get a couple. I like that you can change the symbol on the chest, as that'll allow you to have a new game every time, without X character always beating Y character.

Fist = Rock
Gun = Paper
Sword = Scissors
totally logical
might pick up one or two of these just for the lolz

So let me get this straight: Ultra Magnus was Movie Optimus with a slightly altered helmet and differnet face, then re-named Sentinel, so Ultra Magnus never officially existed, which makes Sentinel's head absed off Optimus.
How is that any different from what I said? At all?
To be fair, it wasn't a placeholder name in his case. He was at one point envisioned as Magnus, but changed. But he would've looked like Optimus anyway. (The face the Astronauts first uncover was what Magnus looked like before being re-named Sentinel) So there's still no Magnus in the movies, which means Sentinel is not based on Magnus because they're one in the same, so he's based on Optimus.

Is it just me or does the paint on that Prime look really good? Nice and shiny.

Nice! I'm digging these and i'll pick them up when I see them local. Too bad they couldn't do like a moodring color change rub symbol instead and the kid with the coldest hands looses.
