Wal-Mart have updated their site listings for the Bot Shots Combaticons Five Pack with a pair of images of the set. The images show the five Combaticons in and out of box – although only one mode for each are shown so it is hard to work out who is going to be a reuse of which mold – that being said this set seems to debut a new mold for Vortex, as he appears to be our first helicopter Bot Shot! Check out the images to see him and Decepticon Brawl, Blast-Off, Onslaught and Swindle in Bot Shot form!

Thanks for the repost buddy! Legit through and through, so happy we get a helicopter and it's series 1 style. Can't wait for Protectobots reveal.

Yeah, I just got my first two from the three-pack with Kup in it. They're…not good.

Spins Shots (and to a lesser degree Flip Shots, but mostly Spin Shots) essentially killed the Bot Shot line for me. It went from being a cute, cohesive little novelty line to a line that, if complete, would necessitate owning some of those things. And suddenly it was much less appealing.

I'm almost willing to get that set just for Vortex.
(though if it's one of those horrible Spin-Shots, the deal's off.)

These team sets have always been repainted from existing toys with no remolding. Vortex is the first to get a new mold in one of the team sets. We had expected Vortex to be another repaint but its cool that he isn't.
Brawl is repainted from Brawl which is based on movie Brawl. I think Blast Off uses the Starscream mold but I'm not sure. Swindle uses the Ironhide mold and Onslaught from Warpath.

Another nice set of Bot Shots.
These 5 packs have been the strongest releases from this entire line for me.
Onslaught24
Right. And I'll definitely be going over him with some paint. Replace the gold with silver and the red with orange and maybe add some green as well.

Wonder if this'll be the same helicopter mold they use for Blades. Cause, y'know, missiles and all that.
NemiMonkey
You might be right. If I squint I can actually see that now. No biggie, still close enough of a resemblance to really care.
Onslaught24
Ironically: I think Onslaught's a Warpath repaint. The heads look exactly the same.
NemiMonkey
Wow those actually look really good. Not exactly like their G1 versions, but I can live with it. Especially if Onsalught and Vortex turn out to be all new molds. Now the question is will I actually be able to find this for a good price. Already gave up on warpath for that reason.
Autobot Hound
I dunno… those are ugly and don't really look much like the Combaticons. No face plates for Blast Off and Brawl, and the optic colors are wrong. The only one I like, in fact, is Vortex.

Fingers crossed these get released. I just got the last three-packs in today so that has my Bot Shots appetite running again. I still want to track down an Aerialbot five-pack and the Warpath launcher.

Vortex looks like a new mold to me.
Dinobot Nuva
Blast Off looks to be a Jetfire repaint. I would've rather they'd used Powerglide because of the faceplates and all.
Onslaught24
If I'm not mistaken, I think he's a remold of Powerglide. But he appears to have a set of helicopter blades on top of his alt mode. But from the angles given, it's hard to tell.
RedAlert Rescue
The Vortex reminds me of Powerglide a bit. I can't see Blast-off very well though.
I like the custom Longhaul – that is the sort of direction Hasbro should have gone instead of making the other kinds people seem less keen on that the original designs.
Dinobot Nuva
What mold IS Vortex?
Onslaught24
Both of these. Can't wait for both sets as they're my two favorite teams. Too bad Vortex doesn't appear to be an actual helicopter.

Prowl and Soundwave are legit as well…they showed up on the Hasbro Transformers site not too long ago.
Now, if any of them actually gets released, that's another story entirely.
