Now if only Hasbro could convince a retailer to carry them!

 

Well after doing more cross referencing the Dropkick Dino mystery continues. This figure shares a product number with Selects Volcanicus. So a mistake had to be made some where between Hasbro or the store’s listings I got these from.

 

Bot bots vehicles sound interesting. Bit like the micromasters/action master cars etc I hope.

 

I'm so glad to see Botbots!

 

I don’t regularly collect the BotBots but they’re easily one of the most creative, lovable creations in the franchise in quite some time so I’m glad they’re continuing.

We know that’s a Copter Dropkick reissue. Meh. I can’t even complain why wouldn’t they reissue Car Dropkick because we’re getting that. At least that’s an accurate toy. And well, Copter Dropkick is okay in its own right, just not a good representation of the on-screen character due to circumstances beyond its control.

 

Now that I think of it, hopefully we'll get a springtime edition of PulseCon.

 

No, we don't.

Actually, the name Dino-Dropkick pretty much confirms its the car form as the copter one's codename was just "dropkick" while the car's code was "Dino-dropkick".

 

With all this new stuff coming, it’d be nice if the Treasure Chest Unboxings got released at some point. (Even if they don’t, that pizza vehicle sounds tempting.)

If I were to guess, I think “Aming store” might be short for “Gaming store”. If it is, I’d be surprised if there weren’t BotBots that turn into dice and a D&D book, at the very least.

 

Are they *finally* expanding Botbots with vehicles and bases?

Was waiting for that for a while now.

 

Frankly, I'm hoping they end up being like a the G1 Micromaster vehicle-bases and take off... it might give some inspiration if Hasbro ever finds somebody who understands the Micromaster play-pattern and gives them another chance rather than the Balls-Up we got.

 

• TRA Botbots 8 Pk Pet – Product number: F0768 – MSRP: $19.99
• TRA Botbots 8 Pk Janitors closet Product number: F0769 – MSRP: $19.99

BUT

TRA Botbots 8 Pk AST (8 case)
product Number: F0478
MSRP: $14.99

SO.
8 packs are NOT $19.99. Either way, I'm happy we've got more BotBots on the way. Glad I just shelled out $40 on ebay for the last 6 bots from series 5...

I AM intrigued by those BotBot vehicles, though...

 

Oh well, either way, both are coming and I could care less, even if they’re good toys in their own right.

 

Could be a new assortment for the relaunch of the line. May be other stuff packed in with the 8 packs to hike the price, or just a price hike in general.

 

Looking back, it looks like it was Carkick I was warned about, but absolutely nobody knew Buzzworthy was a thing. We kinda assumed the reissues would be mixed in SS waves.

That being said, and this is the important part, I think I remembered that Dropkick was coming back and out of outright disappointment/spite assumed it would be Copterkick to clog shelves again.

 

Could be, but I'm thinking these are more "surprise unboxing" sets, but maybe with more for our money instead of stickers.

 

Well i guess its safe to assume it is car dropkick since he had the dino part in his listings

 

Hrrrm... so either Botbots riding vehicles themed after them, or perhaps let's take the concept one step further and make a random object transform into a vehicle that Botbots can then ride in...

COOKIE CAR! PASTA PLANE! BLUEBERRY BOAT! TOILET TRUCK?

 

The botbot vehicles seem rather curious. Are they gunna be like mini playsets to put your botbots? Would they be like the Prime: Cyberverse playsets?

 

GRAVY BOAT... BOAT. TACO COPTER.

Botbots are immortal! New show, a revitalized line, how about a video game?

 

Has anyone made the obvious (yet incorrect) connection between that and "Dino?"

Think Z-Bots. Those guys in the end got vehicles, larger robots they could pilot, even combiners.

She wasn't people's favorite, but it'd fit to bring back both car modes of Shatter/Dropkick as rivals to any reissued SSBB figure.

Also bodes well for Blitzwing if the line does well enough.
