Transformers Bot Shots Sentinel Prime Review
2005 Board member, Goldlock, has picked up the new Bot Shots Sentinel Prime figure and provided us with a nice little review. Goldlock goes into detail here about how the game works that is included when you pick up the new Bot Shots figures. The game is based on Rock, Paper, Scissors or in this case; Blaster, fist, Sword. When you have your Bot Shots auto transform the symbol on their chest is revealed. Almost akin to Battle Beasts with the exception that you can have your Bot Shot figure utilize any of the three symbols. The interesting part of this Sentinel Prime figure is what it’s based on. This translucent red figure has more in common with Kre-O Sentinel Prime than it does with the movie, IDW or Animated versions of the character.
Take a look at the images after the break! [Read more…]
