A listing of upcoming promotions on the Major League Baseball website of the Texas Rangers has revealed a Transformers themed promotion. On April 23rd the Texas Rangers will take on the New York Yankees and kids 13 and under can score a free Transformers Bot Shots figure! This game happens to be held during the same week as Botcon, which will be happening in Dallas on the 26th. If you’re in the area for Botcon, want to check out a ball game and have some kids 13 and under make sure to take advantage of this very cool and unique promotion.

The free figures ended up being Wave 1 Cyberverse figures. FunPub did this to promote Botcon to 48K people.

I wonder if there are any orphanages in the area….

They can give away all the toys they want as long as Nathan keeps giving up ropes to my Mariners in the ninth when they play, just like tonight. Go Mariners.

To bad I cannot stand the Texas "One Strike Away" Rangers. Go Angels!

So frickin' true. I don't know why, but I find it hard to believe that even in a subline like Bot Shots, they STILL over-produce Bee. Wave 1 Bee, 3-pack Bee, Wave 2 chase Bee. I love the Bot Shots, though, and since I'm planning a summer comic arc involving OP and Bee, it's not toooo terrible… but still, leave room for some other characters, man!!

if i can score one, i'll post pictures of it…that is if it's anything different.

Probably not.
They'll all be Bumblebees.

Didn't they have just-Optimus cases at Toy Fair? I'd expect a similar setup for this baseball promotion, likely with a Rangers sticker somewhere on the card. Though at 10K, it's certainly possible that there was even a special production run of printed Rangers cards.

Yea, I tried to score a t-shirt at a Mariners game for my buddys kid who got sick the day of the game. Even showed them the extra ticket we had, explained it, and no dice. And it is not like they ended up giving them all away that day, Mariners tickets arnt exactly in demand these days. Rangers on the other hand (especially Rangers v Yankees), and you are looking at a sellout. Not that I collect botshots, but it will be interesting if they just ship in cases, or slap a special sticker or card on them.

I dunno about Rangers' games, but when I've gone to Angels' games they never give the kids-only giveaway to anyone but the kids.

WOW, that's…. random

i'm sure some old lady passing them out wouldnt care. i'm sure as hell going to try and snag one or two. the only single figure i have is OP. i'm sure they won't have full cases of just him.

Hm… Do you think they'd buy a 6'3" 13-year-old? Because I might attempt that for some free Bot Shots

guess i need to put on a costume and go to the ballpark, get me some botshots

So i was looking at tickets for an upcoming Texas Rangers game here in the DFW area and noticed they're doing a Free Bot Shots promotion night on April 23rd. First 10000 kids 13 and under can get one for free.

Crazy cool. That's a lot of bot shots…
I might go to that game anyways. Rangers/Yankees is always a fun game to watch.
