    I've got some keychains without items on them kicking about somewhere. I might dig them out and use a few of my duplicate BotBots to screw on and make keychains out of them. Do such BotBots products already exist? Hasbro is missing a trick there if not.
    Two Smooth Shaker, two Batterhead and one Fail Polish.
    I really appreciate all your help on this. I don't much follow BotBots apart from buying some when I find them cheap so my knowledge of this line is almost zero.
    I really should read this whole thread from the beginning.

    Ah, then Goo Goo Groopies #1 is the set you didn't get. You dodged the bullet of ending up with a second Croaks! Nobody needs more than zero one of him in the collection, as you've discovered.

    No and it is quite the missed opportunity. Seriously take a page from Lego do the thing and make the keychains. The question actually came out way back and I've been tempted to do just that ever since. The only question is who would I do it to and how to prevent limbs from popping off. :confused: 

    Plot twist they are the murderer.

    On a serious note that camera always reminded me of that flying eyeball character from Gumball. Never saying a word but always staring so intensely.

    I like that they're not just straight copies either in terms of the decos and in some cases the engineering :)

    I can't disagree, they are one of the very worse, the only real fun to be had with him I feel is as an accessory to Optimus Primal toys.

    Dang! I didn't realize he had such fancy emblems on the side. I have Calamity Keys, but not this guy. Looks even better up close.

    When is/was the cartoon supposed to come out? I thought it was November 2021 but I don't remember where I heard that from.

    I don't recall hearing a date and with the complete comms silence I'm not holding my breath. I'm about ready to suck it up and go trawl eBay for the last few I need, eat the buttrape scalper costs just so I can close the books.
