*searches the site for Botbots*

Looks like it, unfortunately. Though it still should show up, just say "out of stock"...

 

That's weird. Yeah, usually it just goes to out of stock. That may mean it was put up by mistake and my order might be cancelled.

 

well if they got it in, maybe EntertainmentEarth did too and its just a matter of time till they put it up...

 

Dang. I should have ordered more. Hopefully EE or BBTS will get them. They'll be much cheaper if they do, haha.

 

Good news, Targets in my area are getting SIngles cases. Bad news, they're Series 4...

 

Even Unicron likes Botbots!

He finds them downright delicious. Mmmmm....  

Oh, I wish I found S4 singles yet. Here we only got S1-2 everywhere. Apparently I was super lucky to find that case of S3 singles, as they never reappeared in months since I got them.
I got some 5 and 8-packs of S4 from a dutch website, and from an US friends, but singles, no such luck. I am wondering now if I should buy a whole case of S4 singles somehow, if that is even possible.

Well, we got S5 way too early, too soon after S4 was released. That's why the wait seems longer. But I think they only intended 2 series for this year, so likely S6 will come out in the autumn. We can maybe expect Hasbro to send out some to reviewers for unboxing then. The virus put a damper on these previews for many companies, Wizkids has not been sending out many D&D and Pathfinder boosters intended for the summer to miniature reviewers either.

Overwatch had a toyline???
Here, it is Fortnite, Fortnite everywhere... Thankfully Müller finally started moving them to the discount bins (they don't seem to sell... modern kids play games, not play with toys, it seems). Can't wait for GI Joe to come back proper and put these multicolored posers back in their places!  

I ran into S3 Tiny Turbo Changers a lot, but I have no luck finding the 5 I cared about - only this week did I manage to get myself Dead End. Still missing Shrapnel, Arcee, Whirl and Chromia. Somehow they are always missing, and only reprints/repaints are left... odd 'cause I doubt many kids here know the codes. Random bad luck, likely.

 

He has good taste

 

Do you guys have any guesses at possible new groups that could be in series 6?

 

Oh the fun we could have with Armada Unicron if Botbots had those Mini-Con Powerlinx ports.

 

Well, they both have vampire wings!  

I am wondering whether they bring back the Toilet Troop, or the new team will have a new name, like Bathroom Buddies. They never brought back teams before... so curious.

 

Do you guys think they might make some bug BotBots at some point?

 

Yeah, I had this idea in the back of my head for a while. When Series 1 came out, I thought of this one BotBot based on a dragonfly that transforms into a Dronefly. His personality is that he is nosy and an eavesdropper. Since the idea of a bug BotBots is entirely new, I can assure you that it MAY happen.

Why would they transform into LIVING creatures? Not likely, no. Even the goldfish Botbot shown is likely some plastic bathroom toy, not a real fish.
Maybe they could turn into rubber fake toy insects though. Something you can get in magic shops to scare people with, so maybe to go with the Magic Tricksters?
One new team likely will have to do with money/jewelry. We seen a stack of green cash (a repaint of King Cheats) and a ruby.

 

We know from a mis-labeled Target listing several months ago that one of the new teams is the Caffeine Collective, which will apparently be one of the 8-pack teams. I can see a LOT of redecos going into that team-- the coffee cup obviously, but also redecos of the cocoa/sugar cube mug, the energy drink, the coffee maker dinosaur, the donut, the slurpee (as iced coffee), possibly the cupcake/muffin...

 

I'm down for Botbots that turn into bugs.

If a piece of Sushi can turn into a dragon...

What their alt mode is doesn't determine what they turn into. At the end of the day they all turn into robots. Lore wise, it's just coincidence that they resemble animals, bipeds, etc.

Missed opportunity having the bug spray can turn into a bug. The irony.

 

So all of the plant BotBots are plastic then even if their bios say other wise, plants are alive too.

 

Had a bit of fun with BotBots this week.

My country has been well behind on releases, we got series 1 mystery figures... then nothing for AGES. Series 2 eventually showed up in one store only and only in very limited amount. Then once again, no new or restock after.  

Now, just this past Thursday I found wave 3 finally new in stock!... then I went to another branch of the same store on Saturday and found wave 4 just a couple of days later! What is happening?   We just got sent a bunch of stuff all at once!

So now I've got a pile of new little TF buddies. Even a couple of gold ones which I love, other than those gold guys (which I knew about) series 4 was such a surprise I hadn't even looked at them in general yet because I'm like well we don't even have series 3 what is the point in researching them yet? Heh.

From series 3, Wizengreen & Trisourtops have been on my want list for ages so it's great to have them finally! Halloween Knight 8pack will be next pickup I think.

 

I call it “some aspects of pre 2020 are returning “

 

Seeing as BotBots are in a mall why hasn't there been a wet floor sign BotBot?
