Courtesy of Yahoo Movies UK we have our first First Look At Transformers Botbots Toys.
The Botbots line was a mystery for a quite a long time until our first reveal of the line. Now we have the official product description:
- Not long ago and somewhere close by, a glowing mist filled with TRANSFORMERS energy called ENERGON came down from the sky and covered a shopping mall. The things inside came to life as little TRANSFORMERS robots! These bots can hide in plain sight as everyday objects, meaning no one knows what’s a bot and what’s not! Mischievous, funny, and super silly, these are… BOTBOTS!
There are 61 unique 1-inch characters to collect in the first series of BotBots. They change from an ordinary object into a little robot in just 3-5 easy steps.
The BotBots all belong to different tribes, inspired by product types you might find in a shopping centre, including the “Sugar Shocks” (sweet treats), the “Backpack Bunch” (school equipment), the “Toilet Troop” (bathroom items), the “Techie Team” (electronic gadgets), the “Greaser Gang” (fast food), the “Shed Heads” (gardening gear), and the “Jock Squad” (sporting goods).
The figures, aimed for ages 5 and up, come in individual blind bags with a retail price £2.99 ($3.88 approximately), or you can buy the tribes in packs of 5 or 8 figures. You can wait for the full official reveal at MCM Comic Con on Sunday 28 October.
Of course, now we have our first look at the toys, which we are sure will add tons of cuteness into any collection. Check out all the images after the jump and then sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
BotBots are mischievous little robots who came to life from everyday objects inside a shopping mall! This rare type of Transformers robot is tiny, mischievous, and great at hiding!

When the Energon hit the objects inside, it made them More Than Meets the Eye. Candy, sports equipment, electronics, school supplies, and other things came to life as little Transformers robots. These robots hide in plain sight at the mall, disguised as the stuff we use everyday.
Each BotBots character belongs to a themed team based on what kind of store they belong in.
There are 61 unique 1-inch characters to collect in the first series of BotBots, each with their own individual personality. Like all Transformers, the characters change from an ordinary object into a little robot in just 3-5 easy steps.

Dino Store I'd bet also got pushed back because of the delays in Jurassic World: Dominion. The crisis for BB's parallels the miniatures lines I consult on… with no new releases in the past two years and none actively on the schedule, the longterm customers who built the brand are starting to wander away to other things.
Paradox Factor
It's also possible series 6 and the vehicles may have been scrapped for the time being at least. The animated series seems to be focused on the Lost Bots, which haven't been around since series 3. This would mean when the show hits, these characters wouldn't be available if they just went ahead with series 6. Just a guess though. I REALLY hope we do get them, there was some fun ones shown on the checklist and the UPC leaks of the dinosaur store exclusives and janitor's closet sounded like a fun ideas.
T-Hybrid
They'd probably being held back to coincide with the series premiere.
Cardion
Anyone got news on what happened with Series 6 and the vehicles? We know we have the TV show coming later this year.
We need to get hyped! Get the word out on the second coming of BotBots!
siniquezu
Anyone got an extra grilled cheese sandwich or Teddy bear or pink cupcake they wanna sell?
Rattrap Primal
Welp, looks like I’ve found another sub line to collect in between Siege Waves……doesn’t hurt that at most they’re released in Blind Pack thru 5 Packs, 8 Packs and eventually a 16 (?) Pack for the Arcade Renegade Set…..
Diamondback
I'd actually found names for most of those doing a UPC crawl a week or two ago, but this is definitely more pieces to help fill in the puzzle.

That rubber ducky! beast Megatrons got a let!
The playroom posse is practically everything I’ve wanted except for a tonal truck.
I love the holiday ones too!

Oh my, oh my, oh… me…

Ahh, there they are… now there's just 1 stinkin' lil' botbots evading me.
Question: are these the only 4 that sport any kind of faction symbol on them? (besides the game cartridge… that doesn't count unless he's punch/counterpunch's adopted kid)

Beastbot X
Yeah, but now because of his comment I want a zamboni redeco/remold. Darnit.
Hasbro, you son of a $#*@. I'm already giving you enough of my money!
Now they need to make one with Hawt Diggity on it that says "I'm Your Wurst Nightmare".

So there are BotBot Shirts.

Figured out the 1 botbots I'm missing… the green zamboni thingy.
Anybody able to point it out on the checklist for me? (The back of every instruction sheet that comes with the figures)
Thanks in advance.
Edit: and just like that, I answer my own question… under the escalator.
I guess I should check off all the ones I have before hand before I ask questions, sorry folks.

Bubble wrap, no… but I can see the duct tape.
Darth Gonzo
