HK-TF has posted a gallery of several upcoming new Bot Shots figures. Take a moment to see what the crashing and smashing pocket sized Transformers have lined up for us. Take a look at new Bumblebee and Optimus G1 inspired launchers and several of the new Spin-shot and flip-shot figures. Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Ironhide, Brawl, Sunstorm and more all shown in this gallery.

Atleast Dirt Boss is Cybertron based.
Dinobot Nuva
Well if you'd actually watched it till the end the camera is pulled back to show the full flip action.
Cykill 1
surprised no one has posted the pix for the 5 sets yet….at least I haven't seen them on here. TrUs has them for $22. A bit high I think.
Feralstorm
Imagine it as a 1984 G1 toy tribute!
RedAlert Rescue
That Video is less than 4 Minutes long and I still didn't get to the end… It's actually shot to close to see anything anyway.
Anyway back to the subject in hand.
Yellow Cliffjumper deliberate or development / factory mistake with the 1st wave no one cared enough to correct ?
Diamondback
Anyone heard anything about rumors for Street date on these guys? Personally, I never even saw a Wave 5 Super Shockwave on shelves… while another TFW'er has one he's holding for me I woulda picked up a second "just to be sure".

I can't wait for these. That new Bumblebee looks great and I've been wanting a new Mudboss for some time now. By the time this line is over, I'll have a money bin full of them and swim in them daily. Occasionally stopping when something pinches me.

Okay I'm sold on the jump shots thanks! But the spinners still are a no

I was going to get single Shockwave anyway but it was cool to see the gimmick in action. I'm starting to think spin shots have to have their arms up all the time which disappoints me as Optimus was the only other Bot Shot I really wanted this time. I agree that if the Spin and Flip figures were other characters, I might've gone for them. MORE Bumblebee? Another Brawl? Another Ironhide? They should've just made a red repaint last series. Hoping for Soundwave and Wheeljack at some point.
The more I look at them, the more I wish they didn't use the game's designs. They're a bit goofy and don't quite fit in with the last series. Oh well, good thing I only wanted the expressionless Optimus and Shockwave. Now, to wait for Wheeljack and Soundwave who also happen to not have a mouth.

Flip Shot Bumblebee is pretty cool, he does a backflip before landing on his feet when he transforms.
NemiMonkey
Well shoot that convinced me on Shockwave at least. Still can't say the same for the other figures in the line though. The combination of those odd expressions and the gimmicks really kills it for me the more I think of it.
I'm just going to write them off and stick with whatever regular releases they come out with in the future.
Shark Jumper
This line is already super fail if we don't get a Jumpshot Springer.

I'm all over that Sunstorm & Skyquake…I just hope they show up at retail, the local TF sections are looking pretty scary around here lately.

I love the new arms and legs on Jump Shots. They look way better than the originals. Problem is, they look too different. I have all the Bot Shots so far, and these new guys don't fit in. It seems too disconnected. And some of the faces seem a little crazy. And the Spin Shots are a "No." I don't know if I can get into them.
Vangelus
The jumpshot Shockwave is f'n boss. I set him off a bunch of times in this vid, he jumps high.

Jump ahead to 2:35 after the first minute for more of him popping off.

God i am not likeing these new designs

Anyone else feel like HasTak missed the boat on the launchers? I mean they could have done them up in the Battle Station modes of Metroplex, MetroTitan, Trypticon, Fort Max, Brave Max, Grand Max, Scorpinok, and Black Zarack. So sad.
Shark Jumper
Bot Shots are $5 at Target now, and that bugs me a bit.
I don't like these new ones too much they look cheaper than before. Like Happy Meal toy cheap… I'd probably get Cliffjumper, maybe new Shockwave, and Ironhide (sad the older mold didn't get LEAST ONE RED REPAINT).
Rewind
Other than Sunstorm, BotShots has effectively killed BotShots for me.
Maximal Dinobot
Thanks for the images.
Don't like all the brown on Shockwave.
Definitely passing on angry Bumblebees but I like super Skyquake. That green looks nice with the clear.
Saw the Bumblebee and I thought "Hey, maybe the new Optimus's feet won't be as giant as I thought. They're really bad… kinda ruins him for me. He was the one I wanted most for being completely G1. I mean, did his feet have to be so large?
Do Optimus's arms stay up? That might be another big point against him and his gimmick.
