That's funny.

 

Despite the Plop Father being a made guy pie, his one too many shinebox lunchbox insults push S'up Dawg over the edge.

 

i've got an idea for a fan-pack of 5 botbots, thoughts and opinions appreciated:

brotein (transforms into protein powder)
weighter (dumbbell that turns into a fancy robot)
wine down (transforms into a chalice of community wine)
holy macaroni (redeco of professor wellread into a bible)
dad vod (transforms into a bottle of vodka, lost bot, nominally part of the "anonymous alcohols")

 

Loving these guys.  

 

When you get back home from the ballgame.  

 

Origin of the BotBots Part 2:

Previously on a non-descript patch of desert somewhere on Earth.

Shockwave: Megatron is not gonna like this!
Skytread: Um, what’s a mall? Hey wait, where’s Full-Tilt going?!
SW: Full-Tilt, get back here and help us!

FT: Sorry, dude! I don’t get paid enough Energon for this. These little things are creeping me out. See ya!

Duderoni: Was that guy talking to me? Oh well, not important. Hey guys, is everyone ok? Some strange happenings at the food court, guys, and then we wind up here. Weird! Anyone know what a Megatron is?

Point Dexter: I think we all made it, Duderoni. I’ll check the other side of this place. S’up Dawg, Shredder Jack, you guys see anything?
And where’s Pucksie?

SD: Heckuva view, Pointy D! Just not much to look at, this place is Dullsville.
SJ: And I don’t see Pucksie, but I think I hear something underneath us. Hey Stinkeye, how you guys doing over there?

Stinkeye Stapleton: I’m just trying to hold it together, Jack. Everyone is accounted for over here I think, except Pucksie. Laceface, you seen Pucksie, he’s from your store?
LF: Nothing from up here, but I’ll check with Chilla Gorilla and the IceQueenCone up top there. Hey guys, you see Pucksie?

Chilla: Tell me how to get down from here first!
Unilla: Relax, Chilla, I’ll be right there. Captain Sudsbeard, Sgt. Scrub-a-Dub, do you know where we are?
CS: Not sure, lass, but this looks like a good place to plunder, eh Scrubby?
SS: That’s Sgt. Scrubby and we need to do roll call first. Now where is Pucksie?

Pucksie: Are you guys deaf? I’m in the loading dock right below you all. Man, it’s hot here. Where’s the ice rink at? Where’s our mall? Does anybody know what happened?

Raddhaxx: All I know is one minute I’m just sitting here, something bumps me and this space bridge thing, and then this weird energy causes me to transport you all here. Still can’t figure out why I’m sweating.
Rootwing: This energy is somehow speaking to me. This energy gave us all life. As we were transported from the mall to here, we were each of us infused with its essence and immediately came to life.
Dude: No wonder I feel so awesome then! How about you Spud Muffin?
SM: I look good and I feel good!
Dude: Great! So, still haven’t heard what a Megatron is. Anyone?!

Burgertron: Uh, Duderoni, I think we’re about to find out.

Megatron: SHOOOOCKWAAAAVE!!!!!

To be continued.......

 

If there’s anybody who needs a good scrubbing, it’s Blot  

 

Great dialogue. Ooh someone's in trouble. XD

 

I'm shocked at the build quality of these guys. I got my first 5 pack (waddlepop, the pirate, the nachos, stapler, and toliet paper) and most joints are nice and tight. And at roughly 10 dollars I say a much better value than the micromaster patrols at the same price point.

 

I like the food ones the best... reminds me of those Happy Meal toys.

 

BotBots Origin Part 3:

Meanwhile......back in the desert........

Megatron: SHOOOOCKWAAAAVE!!! What is the meaning of this? What are these vermin taking over Trypticon?
Burgertron: Who are you calling vermin, Buckethead?
M: Silence, you insignificant pile of compost!
B: Well, I struck a raw wire.

Megs: Shockwave, these things are everywhere!
Pucksie: Hey, keep it down out there!
M: Who dares?!

P: Oh hey, man. Look, I’m trying to catch a few sleep cycles down here. Do ya mind?
M: ................

M: SHOCKWAVE! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!?
S: My lord, Megatron! There was a malfunction on the space bridge. These Earthian artifacts were somehow transported here from someplace called a mall.
M: How are these ‘artifacts’ alive and talking and defying me with their very existence?!
S: The space bridge was leaking Energon. I was about to run a diagnostic when the malfunction occurred.
M: What was the malfunction? What caused it?
S: Skytread bumped the control panels with his illogically large feet.

M: Skytread, haven’t I warned you before to assimilate a less clunkier Earth alt mode.
Skytread: Sorry, Lord Megatron! I’ve been busy keeping up with Shockwave’s patrols. And big feet are good for stability when you’re supporting two separate bot halves.

M: No excuses! Now get out of my sight and find a sleeker alt mode before I separate your halves permanently!
ST: As fast as my clunky feet will take me, Megatron!
SW: I’ve warned him about those feet before, my lord.
M: SILENCE!

Spud: Dude, these guys need to relax. I say we get outta here.
Duderoni: Suggestions on how to do that, Spuds? We’re in the middle of nowhere.

M: How do you plan to get rid of these pests, Shockwave?
SW: I’m not sure. The space bridge is still malfunctioning and now these bot......bots are impeding my progress since the one calling himself Raddhaxx used to be my control panel.
RH: My bad, dude.
M: Transform Trypticon, Shockwave, to his Nemesis ship mode so we can get out of here and leave these things to rot in this desert.
SW: Raddhaxx also controls Trypticon’s
transformation cog.

RH: I do?!?
Spuds: Ding, ding, ding!! I know how we’re getting out of here. Also, I like how BotBots sounds. Has a nice ring to it.
Dude: Yep! Hey, cranky bots, we’ll take it from here. Thanks for the lift!

M: You dare to challenge me! How do you think to defeat me?!

SW: My lord, Megatron, there are simply too many of them and more are coming. They can easily overpower us by sheer numbers alone.
M:..........

M: Decepticons, retreat!!!

Dude: Well, that was easy. Now we got us a sweet ride!
Rootwing: Yes, my friends! Let us discover our roots. Raddhaxx, have you figured out the transformation cog?
RH: Yeah, and I found a file about something called Cybertron and Auto....bots?!
Spuds: Radd, Haxx! All right BotBots, let’s see what’s outside the mall.

To be concluded.....

 

Since today is Super Bowl Sunday

 

Too bad we can't get a Bot Bowl instead of the Super Bowl... have Red Team and Purple Team hash it out on the gridiron.  

 

Transfan32  

 

I just started getting into these botbots. They are really need! I found them at Meijer, but I'm unsure of where to find them in Walmart. Are they usually up in the front near the trading cards?

 

My Way-Mart has them in the same aisle as the other Transformers, but at the end with the Mighty Beans. I skipped over them several times because I expected all the Tranformers products to be together like they are at Target.

 

Are you talking about the end cap on the back or front of the Isles? Or somewhere else?

 

What's a mighty bean?

 

Had a few bucks so I splurged on 2 blind packs. Beyond ensuring my 2 numbers weren't the same I didn't look up Who I got ahead of time. Got the candy bar dude who is ok. And the Venus flytrap who is...uh uninspired and terrible. I was excited to see it at first. Striking looking design. Then I transformed it. One front leg fell off and the 2 back legs are too tight I had to use a tool that indented the soft plastic. And thats it? Sorely disappointed now.

 

Have you heard of Mexican Jumping Beans? If not it's basically a big pill shaped bit of plastic with a metal ball bearing inside and a design printed on the outside.
