    Wish we knew which wave 6 characters are going to make it to the blind bag list! There are a few that I liked (black fish, cobra, cricket and etc) but I'm not into multipack and the good think about these toys is the ID code meaning no "suprised" for me aka wasting my cash on the wrong Botbots!

    These guys will be blind-bagged, as they're part of the "singles" assortment:

    For whatever reason, they're not leaving "mystery" bots in the multipacks this time, at least in terms of publicity. All of the composite images for the multipacks show every Botbot in the pack, so even if one is left "hidden" behind a bubble, just by looking at the official images we'll know which Botbot it is.

    So, how 'bout those unreleased Kioskformer designs like I've been calling for since Day One? Seriously, Zuru or whoever it was can barf up entire STORE playsets on an 8x10 footprint andd Hasbro can't even match THOSE bottomfeeders?

    RIP Trisourtops. You’ve been juiced and are now apparently insane clown fuel.

    Thanks! Look like the only one that is a multipack exclusive is the black fish one. I got more choice this time round (basically all of the bottom row but replace the bacon with the bug spray above the bacon) unlike last wave (only bought The Breaker of Fortunes)!

    I'm pretty sure it is, I mean it's not just a juice box, it's an orange juice box. I mean, as people were pointing out earlier, look at how much they changed Vomit Comet for the show. And I guess they changed Snorg the Conqueror a lot too from what people are saying, but I don't have Netflix so I've only watched the first 2 episodes. They realllly are using a LOOOT of artistic license for these.

    The day I see Botbots SS toys would be if Hasbro make Robot In Disguise (Bumnlebee series not the anime one) or a Recuse Bots/ Robot Acadamy SS toylines!
    I think it's more like the main Botbots characters would recieved the RED treatment due to lack of kiddles on most of them. Like how would Kickmee transform into a football unless 95 of the football round shell parts folded into her head or something?

    Well no wonder that juice is craaaaazy, it is made of rotten oranges. :p 

    There is also a bottle of mayonnaise - a white repaint of Must Turd and Fottle Barts. I wonder what that'd be called? Mayor Naise?

    ULF has no Trisourtops logo and has a totally different face. Plus, no red arms.
    Also the Custodial Crew member who is a cleaning glove is yellow on the show and not blue like the toy.
    I would not be surprised if there would be some Botbots Netflix release toys that are released well before series 6.

    There is a really nice football toy from a chinese toyline, so it can be done.
    Heck, the ball-bot toy did it before G1 existed, in Microman.

    Got a new Botbot for my collection, so have a very silly thing. I'd been looking for a TV Cop at a decent price for a bit now and managed to pick one up for about seven dollars.

    Nice! Out of the wave 2 bling bag, I bought him and King Candyhooves!
    Speaking of the toys, I wished the show had premier when the first waves were release. I kinda regret not buying Frostferartu (bought Cocoa Crazy instead) and the Science Alliance like Starscope or Face Ace now!

    Yeah, there are some I'm regretting not picking up before, too. Some of them are getting pricy for such tiny figures.

    And don't forget the green relish repaint.

    I actually hope we just get a new one for her.
