The convention season for the Transformers has just about ended. While we’ve had many new reveals and new products announced, one specific line within Hasbro’s arsenal seemed to have been passed over. Which, of course, lead many to believe it had been cancelled. But, fear not fans of Transformers Bot Shots! Hasbro has updated their website with new officail images of the previously announced Starscream and Hun-Gurrr Flip shot launchers, but have also given us new official images of the previously un-announced:
Flipshot Soundwave
Jumpshot Prowl
Flipshot Hydrax
Spinshot Strafe
Blitzshot Smokescreen

There was a Kreo reveal of sorts at BotCon. They're doing parts sets–as in mix and match/build your own. Not much info was available I don't believe, but that was the gist of it.

I'd buy 'em if I saw 'em at Brick & Mortar or HTS, but it's like "Put Up or Shut Up already, Hasbro!"

One of my complaints about Bot Shots is that they keep reusing the same character. They want to keep repainting the original Starscream mold (for example), fine – just make each repaint a different character. And no more barely different color schemes either.
And don't do a new mold of Starscream, make the new mold a character not in Bot Shots before.

Did anyone get Warpath and Scourge launchers from series 2 wave 2? I saw them on HTS but were always sold out. I see them on BBTS but I have to buy a case!
Why so excited about Prowl we already got one in Series 1. Big props for this Soundwave but really bumbed with all these repaints and redos of the same Bee, Optimus, Starscream, Beast Hunters. Just give me G1!

That Soundwave is rad, like he turns into a huge dubstep truck!

Both soundwave and starscream look cool. Hope they can keep this line alive.

nothing show at botcon or sdcc for Microchangers, meanwhile Generations(yay), Beast Hunters(meh), Botshots(yuck), and Construct Bots (yuck) get plenty of reveals. and since the build sets sold so badly that walmart and target no longer carry them, I think the line may be on its way out

Hydrax has the same colorscheme as Hydraulic. Which has to be a coincidence since nobody knows or cares who Hydraulic is.

Even though I want to get rid of my others excep my original brawls that gun speaker truck is a must.
Reminds m of the ugly firetruck thing optimus was in gi marvel comics pre earth.

Some of these guys are looking cool, might have to throw down when i see em.

Poor Strafe. He looks like he's sat on a toilet while trying to air out his stinky armpits.
I only really buy secondhand Bot Shots cheap at car boot sales, but that Soundwave does look cool.
Optimist Prime
WHAT? Is this confirmed?

^I grabbed the Warpath one from HTS back in the Spring I think.
I'm in for Hydrax (first Bot Shot original character, right?) and Soundwave. Still hoping the Combaticons 5-pack in the Walmart system wasn't canceled.

Could have sworn that the Warpath launcher was sighted at Ross.

finally a soundwave! must have that!

Glad these are still coming out. I've had fun picking and choosing the G1 homages out of each line. Soundwave and Prowl are a must buy. Kinda bummed they would do Smokescreen from a different mold than Prowl… when it's in the same wave and handy. Now we can add ANOTHER awkward repaint of Jazz to the list. That's a very, very, very long list now.

I need that Soundwave.

That Soundwave!

Hmmm no word on the Warpath launcher :/
