After last week’s interesting leak of BotBots, we finally get to see exactly what we’re dealing with. And what we’re dealing with is the cutest batch of Transformers since… Uh… Hmm. Not sure we’ve had any Transformers this cute. Been almost thirty five years, it’s about time we did.
BotBots is a new line to be fully unveiled at London MCM Comic Con later this week, and it looks like it will give Shopkins a run for it’s money. Gone are Autobots and Decepticons. In their place are Energon-infused every-day items such as fast food, bathroom fixtures, tech gadgets, and sporting goods.
And did I mention they’re cute?
Look at those pictures. So much personality! I admit that while my love for Transformers firmly sits with Generation One and Beast Wars, I can’t help but grin at these cute things.
Each BotBot is one inch tall and transforms from robot to item. We have pizza, donuts, toilets, cupcakes, drills, phones, TVs, sports equipment… And penguins? And more!
These will in blind boxes as well as different assortments. Not sure how many doubles you’ll end up with trying to get them all, but these things seem like prime trading fodder.
Let’s not forget the names. Oh, the names! FROHAWK, KING TOOTS, KIDD KLOBBER, SCREEN FIEND, THE PLOP FATHER — just to name a few. The design and/or marketing team unleashed their inner eight-year-olds for some of these. They’re great!
Honestly, these look like great little desk bots for the older fans and awesome adventure pals for the younger ones. My kid will probably love them. While not a big Shopkins fan, I bet my kid will be big into these cause they’re robots!
I’m looking forward to the full reveal. You can read the full press release below. My thanks to Hasbro and Rogers and Cowan for the pictures and information.
*****
BotBots are mischievous little robots who came to life from everyday objects inside a shopping mall! This rare type of Transformers robot is tiny, mischievous, and great at hiding!
Not long ago and somewhere close by, a glowing mist filled with TRANSFORMERS energy called ENERGON came down from the sky and covered a shopping mall. The things inside came to life as little TRANSFORMERS robots! These bots can hide in plain sight as everyday objects, meaning no one knows what’s a bot and what’s not! Mischievous, funny, and super silly, these are… BOTBOTS!
When the Energon hit the objects inside, it made them More Than Meets the Eye. Candy, sports equipment, electronics, school supplies, and other things came to life as little Transformers robots. These robots hide in plain sight at the mall, disguised as the stuff we use everyday.
Each BotBots character belongs to a themed team based on what kind of store they belong in.
There are 61 unique 1-inch characters to collect in the first series of BotBots, each with their own individual personality. Like all Transformers, the characters change from an ordinary object into a little robot in just 3-5 easy steps.
The BotBots all belong to different tribes, inspired by product types you might find in a shopping mall.
GREASER GANG: These greased up and chilled out rulers of the food court put the fast and fast food.
BACKPACK BUNCH: A band of brainy bots who are cooler than school and sharper than a freshly sharpened pencil.
JOCK SQUAD: A crew of super sporty bots who love to win and are always ready to gear up and get their game faces on.
SHED HEADS: The tough-as-nails team of no-nonsense tools, plants, and home and garden bots.
SUGAR SHOCKS: A squad of sweet treats and fun-to- eats who share their own unique sugar rush and kick things into overdrive.
TOILET TROOP: A clean-up platoon of bathroom defenders who take care of business by cleaning the bathroom and beyond.
TECHIE TEAM: The cutting-edge crew of gotta-have-it phones, gadgets, electronics, and gamer gear.
