    We recently found Series 5 at the Dollar Trees near us. Just wondering why so few were represented in the packages. We found all of the 24 list on a previous post other than Lumbering Jack. But there are 36 more on the checklist. Do they come out in waves or is it just some fluke because they are at a dollar store?

    There are also 5-packs and 8-packs... IF you can find them.
    Transformers: BotBots (franchise) - Transformers Wiki

    The 8-packs and Cardio Clique will most likely give you a psychotic episode trying to track them down, they were very limited availability and never turned up many places at all.

    So the top spots in this have been overtaken by Coffeemus Prime and Quackles, unsurprisingly. Songwave and Crumbly Yumbly would also be third and fourth. They need to throw Quackles in with Beast Wars Megatron or something, people really respond to him and yet he’s still so uncommon. I got a few Playroom Posse packs when they were half off, got two more and gave them away.

    And there's definitely precedent for Botbots being lewd!

    I know the set is two years old now, but I absolutely love all of the art on it.

    There is a whole gallery, easier to post that. I dunno why Sirtoys never links to his webpage, only directly to pictures.
    Botbots, G Other, Transformers KnockOff KO, Action Figure Checklist Photos
    Yeah some of these are nicely improved over the originals. I think the drill is better looking than Drillit Yaself, and I like that the shoes have shoelaces. :D  Also, McMuzzsaw's chainsaw is removable and can be held in hand.
    Hope these show up on Aliexpress eventually.

    Wait, grapefruit MILK??? EUUUGH!!! I would rather drink from Grumpy Clumpy, thanks.

    He's a carton of juice, like they used to give out in grade school.

    Been wondering when we would start seeing KOs.

    Ok, so the only reason I am reposting from the Botbots barter/trade/sell thread is because I am going to return the rest of my series 5 singles in 1-2 weeks (plus I get free publicity here:)  ) So, that said, all of these guys listed below are guys I'd be willing to sell (No trades with the exception of 1 Zanzabar) due to me already having all guys from series 1-5. If you are interested in any, please PM me and we can work something out.

    Prices can vary between guys btw, hope to here from some of you soon.

    @SirToys cannot link to his website directly, as it is for some reason against TFW's rules - but we can link for him.

    Search - SirToys.com

    I dont want to see sirtoys banned for hawking his wares, so I will gladly link for those that don't know where to look. :thumb

    Still weirded out by grapefruit milk.

    Anyway, I digibashed this like the unrepentant memeslut I am. Probably should have gone with the can, I'm sure I'll be slapping goofy corporate logos onto something else soon.

    Words cannot express how much I love this and also lament how this isn't a widely available thing. Come on Hasbro do a special boxset of licensed Botbots. You like money don't you. GIVES ME MA CRUNCH BAR REMORSEL!!!!!

    Botbots can't be that much more than a typical Crappy Meal toy... c'mon Hasbro, do the fast food Kiddie Meal promo already!

    I had a very odd dream about watching the BotBots cartoon. It was a scene from Beast Wars but with BotBots instead. Quackles was voiced by David Kaye. First time I woke up laughing.
