    Am I the only one who thinks the black Megatron looks like a million times better than the brown one?

    The Trailered Megatron is actually brown not Coppery like in the photoshopped pics are.

    It's nice to note that Acid Storm is another clear one.

    I wonder if Takara will brand these as something like "Choro-Q fighters" ?

    Oh imagine the pain if they did Takara event exclusive clear versions of Prowl, Starscream, Optimus, Megatron Tanks etc.. and Hasbro didn't... ARGGHHH!!! I foresee $50.00 each Botshots in the future.

    I might get that Acidstorm. The fact that they are making a Nemesis Prime is insane.

    They reminded me of the Darksyde set.

    I wonder if they will make all 3 Rainmakers and this line might be the line to finally give all 3 of them official names. I don't even mind if the only version they make is clear - it adds to their charm.

    I hope the Botshot Skywarp isn't a Takara Exclusive - that corporate joke is wearing a bit thin now after the 3rd time.

    Did anyone else notice that Prowl is a straight repaint of Barricade? That kind of got a chuckle out of me.

    These are kind of cool in their own little way. I might be tempted to pick up a few.

    The prices on the 3-packs and Launchers are a steal! I'm going to own so many of these.

    Nice. I was worried they were going to try to sell these at 5 or 6 bucks a piece, but I can handle $3.99. They better not jack the prices up in Canada.

    Does anyone know if the Bumblebee in the 3 pack is the same in the single pack wave 1?

    Never mind the 3 pack one has grey wheels. However what about the ultimate pack? are those all different decos?

    I hope there's some sort of difference with the Prime Launcher and regular one since I already got one.

    The Regular Prime has a few less painted parts and is accented in metallic paint the one with the trailer has a bit more paint and has gloss blue paint instead of the metallic paint.

    You shouldn't have that problem with the Megatron though as the Trailer version is out first.

    I'm not sure but it looks like the 3 pack and Ultimate pack Bumblebee's are the same - I can't see any differences between the individual trailers and the ultimate pack looks like it's a straight repack and not a repaint. which is actually a good thing - if you buy the others you don't need to get the Ultimate one then.

    At least they didn't do something mean like include Skywarp in the set and only in that set months after the other packs came out and you'd already bought them. - we can at least judge up front which ones suit you best to buy.

    These are fun, I want them but it kind of pisses me off that they have no faction symbols. :(  This makes them look like knockoffs.

    I guess I can buik order reprolabels -- but I hate altering the value of a Hasbro official product just to make it look like a Hasbro official product.

    Hasbro Faction Symbol FAIL.

    Still buying them but grumbling as I do so.

    Barricade & Prowl need some Police related deco too.

    Any logos you put on them would need to be very tiny as they are only 2" tall themselves.

    It's fun to stand Botshot's up on their tail light and tap them on the head (the front bumper) they pop up and do a little mini-jump and instantly become a robot or if you gently propel them at each other they bump away from each other and do the same in a very amusing way. If you do it to hard though they tend to fall over.

    I must have transformed them 60 times so far. lots of fun... I'm off out soon to see if I can find Botshot Starscream & some RID toys too.

    Is there a video of the Hasbro presentation or some screen caps any place - I'd like to see the Rescue Bots fire truck vehicle still.

    I thought I'd post these in here, since they seemed to get glossed over in the TFCC toy fair gallery thread.

    Okay, good to see that they can connect to their trailers. They look great!

    Not so sold on Nemesis Prime. Earlier box pics had me excited, but that Optimus Prime-colored head is not pretty with the black deco.

    Go here and scroll down to see some more Bot Shots (from the club website).

    Does Thundercracker have a different face?

    Rather that start a new thread I'll put these here :

    Toy Fair 2012 Coverage - Bot Shots, Rescue Bots, Movie Trilogy Optimus Prime

    Rescue Bots Police HQ :
    Transformers: Rescue Bots Photo Gallery
    Comes with a simplified Chase and a Criminal mini-figure.

    Electronic Rescue Bots Mobile HQ with The main kid character from the TV show and a simplified Optimus Prime.. (looks big)
    Transformers: Rescue Bots Photo Gallery

    It opens up into this :
    Transformers: Rescue Bots Photo Gallery

    I hope they remember to bring any new RescueBot Products to the Comic Conventions.

    [P.S.]

    I think the Clear Botshots are packed 1 per case as chases unless they come in a boxed set.

    This will never make any sense to me. Ever.


    As for the faction symbols omission, i guess it's so they can all go head to head, no matter who it is. Kinda like they all drop their sigils at the door.

    also...
    These things will most likely never go up in value. ever. we're not talking Fabregé eggs here... sheesh.

    I want them all, they are awesome. I get to play with them with my nephew. And i love taking a sharpie to them to "chrome" their rims, and light up their headlights, etc.. Great stuff. the trailers make it even better!!
