Hasbro have updated their Transformers online product catalog with two more Bot Shots Three Packs. The third assortment of 2013 three packs adds a set with Ultra Magnus, Red Alert and Super-Bot Mirage into the mix. The second new set in the assortment is Predacon heavy, with a red Twinstrike, Skystalker, and Super-Bot Bumblebee. Ultra Magnus is notable for being a recolor of the Transformers Cybertron Optimus Prime, but also being in a deco that manages to make him look like a slightly off-colored Optimus Prime.

I need that super Bot Bumblebee it's an essential BUY (sarcasm).
I mean so what if it's practically the same as the other 6 Bumblebee's I got – (DOH!)
What a great Idea Hasbro well done – !!
(why not make it black or us the battle mask head at least you clueless soccer mom servicing bafoons)
I'll leave it up to you if I think the 1st part of the 2nd part of my comments…
Oh and what a super idea a normal Coloured Optimus Prime you name Ultra Magnus and an Ultra Magnus coloured toy you call Optimus – cut out what your smoking it's effecting your minds already. It's already made you hire Michael Bay 4 times – that stuff isn't good for you you know and it harms your golf game to boot.
And it's all well and good showing this stuff but considering I've only ever seen 2013 Wave 1 single carded Botshots/jumpshots/spinshot etc.. and not a single multi-pack and nothing since you might try you know ; try actually distributing what you have made already first.
Bit strong perhaps ????
Oh well you always hurt the one you love…

Oddly enough, I have yet to see the three packs in stores with Kup and the one with Cindersaur… Nor the Aerialbots.. Or Warpath..
Yet they've been on HTS for a long time..

Max called it… "trying" entails at MINIMUM actually, I dunno, RELEASING PRODUCT…
Disappointed, frustrated and wondering Whiskey Tango Fox is up with them.
decepticon win
just got into botshots don't mind the repaints but the magnus is one of the worst remold/repaints EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if they will release a Terrorconn/Predacon pack like they did with the Stunticons instead of painting the singles the yellow and blue.
Maximal Dinobot
Another pass for me. They're seriously not even trying anymore with this line. Unfortunate as I did really like these guys last year. Hasbro's still getting my money for other things though…
CrockAlley
Ha ha, seriously! That's ridiculous. I'm looking at six of them on my shelf right now. Blerg.

While these color schemes are fine by themselves, I do think the worst thing about Bot Shots are the repaints that are barely different from a previous release, characters repainted from unrelated molds and how some molds are repainted much more than others. And how some characters get multiple different molds when they should really have been different characters instead.
These two sets were repaints only so it would be wrong to want a new mold among these six. That doesn't stop Hasbro from creating a new mold Ultra Magnus later though.

Diaclone Magnus……… yet not Diaclone Magnus colors… or inverted? I think I am reaching too much here….

I'm thinking that these three packs might be coloured differently to individual releases, as Twinstrike is supposed to be yellow:
REMINATOR
Bot shot UM is a big disappointment and here I was constantly asking myself when will Hasbro release this version of him. I'm okay with him being a repaint of Optimus but this redeco is just a joke. If it wasn't for the labeling, I would've presume it's still Optimus. Look at him, his upper body, especially the arm, and truck is predominately red, this is Optimus color. If Hasbro is that lazy, they should've made him as Magnus: all white with red visor and I'll would've been okay too. Since I'm a sucker to UM character, he'll end up in my collection. Damn you, Hasblow!

Really hasbro, you can't do a blue and white deco?
Only one I really want is Twinstrike so yeah no big loss. Kind of getting tired of Bot Shots thanks to these new gimmicks.

Despite Ultra Magnus barely looking the part, I do like the colors
abates
Tsk tsk tsk, look at all those mistransformed jump shots.

Ultra Magnus? Another sorry excuse of a repaint. I was really hoping they would give him a new mold.
Starscream Gaga
Yeah, that's a pretty weak Ultra Magnus.
But another redeco of Wave 1 Bumblebee!? Stay still my beating heart! Too bad I stopped collecting Bot Shots after they introduced Jump Shots and Spin Shots, I'd have loved a Red Alert.

"Ultra Magnus".
Sure, whatever you say, Hasbro.

Two new Bot Shots three-packs posted at Hasbro!
I've been waiting to see if anybody posted these, or even saw the LAST batch on the street, but it looks like they've revealed a THIRD wave of Bot Shots three-packs…
This round, it's Red Alert (a mod of Jumpshot Bumblebee in white and red), Ultra Magnus (looks like a red-white-and-blue redeco of Jumpshot Optimus) and trans-blue Super Mirage (Series 1 mold) in one pack, while the other holds the Predacons Twinstrike and Skystalker, and another Series 1-sculpt Super Bumblebee, this time in yellow.
