What the heck happened to these guys? I hadnt been excited for any sinse series 2( aside Suger Shocks ) and now I meed these Toilet bowl surpeises in my life and they just went caput …..POOOF! Wth happened?
ahrinn
Well, it's August first. Wonder if the toilet set will actually come out soon.
[Wing_Saber-X]
By this point this lame parody excuse for a Transformer brand is really grasping at straws. :/
combinerlover
"Again" ? Às in you told me already ? Or as in your tired of informing folks? Besides, I was merely picking up we're I left off with my over all excitement… I too have noticed the similar themes, just thought someone out there might be aware of something I'm not ?, So let's be more aware of our tones when we type?, Someone might misconstrue what were saying
Beastbot X
Again, no info is given beyond what we can see in those couple of Toyfair pics and the press release. I would imagine the Toilet Troops might return, but Botbots has been loath to re-visit old teams once they've been "out of circulation" for whatever reason, and so we've now got different teams that are very similar (Party Favors & Magic Tricksters, Wilderness Troop & Shed Heads). So we'll just have to wait and see.
combinerlover
I'm just curious as to if the Toilet bowl surprise boxset is in deed an addition to the ToiletTroops? , It looks like a Toilet, Goldfish, Golden Plumber, Can of Air freshener to cover up the odor of Poo, and the Pirate botbot, maybe Toilet cleaner? And then it looks like a scrub brush , heck,tbh, I can't tell, but it's definitely a new mold of some kind. I'm so stoked!
Beastbot X
Nope. They're not out 'till August, and given how Hasbro really doesn't give much media to these things, I would bet we wouldn't find out about them until July-ish (or maybe late June) when somebody finds them first and digs out the catalog.
combinerlover
Is there a tribe chart with names out for Series 6 yet ?
combinerlover
Beastbot X
From your lips to God's ears.
Though I'm taking the release of more special packs for Series 6 as a slightly positive sign.
Strafe
As has become tradition for what will be its third year running, we’ll be chasing down more new Botbots during Holiday time! Series seven, in this case.
Right, Beastbot?
…. B-Beastbot? Right?
Beastbot X
No cats yet, but there are dogs (Drippy Pup the sippy cup, Snuggle Puggle the neck pillow) and owls (Blurray Murray, Gol-D; granted they're both the same mold, 3-D glasses).
DaveWire
Well you’re in luck because there definitely appears to be one based on shit.
View attachment 28545642
Don’t know what it’s name is but for now, I dub thee Floater.
Chaos Muffin
Need some animal ones , like cats, dogs, owls and shit.
Beastbot X
Oh, I get something like that, an entire line related to the stuff is waaaay overkill and like telling the same joke over and over again. But I think a few Botbots here and there whose gimmick is "gross-out" isn't bad.
griffin-of-oz
Six toy pods and four sticker pods, like with Series 4.
The press release with the photos above says series 6. Series 5 are the yellow pods that were just released. Don't know yet what the pod color is for series 6 (hopefully it isn't brown).
There is just so much toilet & poo toys in stores now, it's like the toy companies are all racing to the bottom to compete for a ongoing market that isn't really there, because one or two will be bought as an immature novelty item, but what rational kid or parent wants to have a large collection of poo-related toys. Toilet humor is one thing because it is a short lived laugh at something, but having a collection of poo-related toys is a completely different thing.
The trend is more than disturbing, particularly when you have iconic characters as defecating toys, SEVERAL squeeze toys (like stress balls) of poo shapes and animals with squeeze-out-the-poo gimmicks at a major department store near me… while ToysRUs in HK had on the shelf a large series of poo character toys. These are toys that are intended to be mass collected by kids, not just one off humor purchases… which should have people worried if a kid is wanting to buy these instead of an action figure, a lego set, or a computer game.

Actually it's 6 Botbots– there's 5 "regular" Botbots and 1 gold Botbot, just like with the Gumball Machine/Claw Game packs. I'm not saying that makes it such an amazing value, just a slight correction there.
Pretty certain these are a sneak peek of Series 6.
Some Series 5 leaked out because of a Hasbro screwup– the official release date for Series 5 is April 1st, and the official release date for Series 6 is August 1st, which fits how Series 2 and 3 were released last year. Don't worry, you still have time.
I'm sorry man, but you're like the 15% of the population that doesn't like poop/fart jokes. And that's a high estimation TBH.
