no, i'm just saying you're asking the wrong people. by low standards i meant they are easy to please and will pick up a lot of concepts in their desparation and you don't need a background in film.
Kofi Sapong
So you don’t like it?
Skylanderformer
You wanna know what I think? I think you're asking the wrong people. If you want your concept to be real, bring it up to netflix, they have pretty low standards.

Hello everyone!
Just want to get your opinions on this Botbots movie plot.

Hello again!
I think I might have the perfect concept for a BotBots movie that could reinvent the story of the TV Show:
Inside a mall where various everyday objects have been transformed by an Energon storm into tiny Transformers known as BotBots, cheeseburger action hero Burgertron leads the Lost Bots, a mismatched troupe of BotBots consisting of forgetful flashlight Dimlit, secretive samurai bonsai tree Bonz-Eye, ultra skilled game controller Game Over, fearless plunger Clogstopper, mystical cupcake vampire Frostferatu, dinosaur coffee machine Javasaurus Rex, and playful soccerball Kikmee. The eight of them live together under the watchful eye of the tough but diplomatic stapler Stinkeye Stapleton while tinkering with their known surroundings due to them being unaware of what exists beyond the Lost and Found.
The Lost Bots become stranded in the abandoned Costa Pasta restaurant after they fall down the vents due to an mountaineering accident. Inside, they meet the sole remaining resident, a moldy cannoli named Disgusto Desserto who is the guardian of "The Great Collector’s Cup" which is said to be entrusted to "anybot pure of spark". After Burgertron tells him that they want to discover what’s outside of the Lost and Found, Disgusto tells them of "the Mall", said to be a wondrous utopia where they can get to make new friends and find the squads where they each belong, but unfortunately, it is not as happy a place as it once was. Seeing no other options, the Lost Bots walk out into the hallway. While wandering the mall, the narrowly avoid being spotted by Dave, the mall’s lazy security guard, before meeting Ulf the Orange, an ironically serious juice box clown, and Jacqueline, a bashful mannequin head, who both agree to take them to their destination.
Asked about their identities, Burgertron convinces the others to present themselves to the other BotBots as the bots that were missing from their squads, revealing that they awoke in the Lost and Found when the Energon cloud hit. They quickly run afoul of outsider squad the Spoiled Rottens but avoid a rumble when the others are scared into their alternate modes by Dave’s return. The Lost Bots are then chased by Dave until they reach an enormous statue that they accidentally knock over and causes it to crush the security guard to unconsciousness. For defeating Dave, Mocklate, a bar of white chocolate that functions as the supposedly sweet leader of the BotBots appoints the Lost Bots as the mall’s newest squad. Meanwhile, the other BotBots both worry and revel in the fact that with the security guard off duty, they can now party whenever they want until a bigger threat (suspected to be the emo candy corn Milton) begins to loom.
After discovering that the mall is going through troubled times and the happiness of their fellow Bots, which is said to be at peak level when they have a good time, to be nearly depleted, a skeptical Ulf demands that the Lost Bots investigate. That night, they inadvertently activate an army of security robots designed to stand in for Dave while he recovers, mistaking them for gods. However, Frostferatu begins to fear that he is losing touch with his friends and ultimately decides to desert them, but instead winds up in the Dark Side of the Mall, where he meets a slew of other BotBots who have seemingly been exiled by Mocklate for some reason. All of them are shocked that Frostferatu came by accident. Sprinkleberry Duh’Ball, a brainy donut hole, explains how Mocklate rose to power after being rejected at a party. Nevertheless, Frostferatu persuades them to rejoin BotBot society. The Botbots all discover a multitude of stores to have been foreclosed the very next morning, so Bonz-Eye, Dimlit, Javasaurus Rex, and Jacqueline organise a posse to find the cause of the problem. During the search, they find two ice cream sundae unicorns, King Candyhooves and Unilla Icequeencone, to be stranded in the middle of the mall, but oddly enough, they claim to be the rightful leaders of the Sugar Shocks, so the posse agrees to escort them back home as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the other Lost Bots are busy with attempting to integrate themselves with the other squads in anticipation of Bot Prom – Burgertron competing with the other Hunger Hubs in a a tournament to see who replaces popular French fry guy Spud Muffin as the new leader, confessing his feelings for Ulf and befriending Spud when he reveals that the entire squad are in danger of being kicked out of the food court shortly after; Clogstopper becoming more disciplined after getting drafted into the Custodial Crew; Kikmee joining the Jock Squad in pulling harrowingly light hearted pranks on Sector 7, who have come to get to the bottom of the mall’s recent shenanigans; and Game Over learning the ways of the Gamer Geeks and their purpose of protecting their fellow Bots from the security monitors. Eventually, Bot Prom finally arrives, and the Lost Bots instantly become the main attraction when they perform a rousing rendition of Rock DJ. Unfortunately, Stinkeye Stapleton suddenly shows up uninvited, having been following his charges after he noticed they were missing. To make matters worse, Mocklate secretly summons Milton, who runs both the Lost Bots and Frostferatu’s new friends out of BotBot society after forcing them to admit their lies to the others. After they are exiled to the Lost and Found, Mocklate meets them in private and reveals that she herself bought the security bots on the Internet, planning for the Lost Bots to act as her patsies and also to eradicate the other BotBots for her past rejection should they ever return. Having grown to be more than what he was before, Burgertron explains to his friends that he does not want them to be closed off and that they can make up for their mistakes, but Stinkeye refuses, believing that the outer mall will never see them as anything other than screw-ups. Their fight is interrupted when the Ulf, Jacqueline, Spud Muffin, superstar slugger baseball bat Batsby, lovable donut goofball Sprinkleberry D’uhnut, secret agent flashlight Smartlit, forgetful baseball Dinger, and daredevil sports camera Fomo inform them that the security bots are rounding up the others to be used in scientific experiments, having suspected Mocklate when she pretended to be attacked by Frostferatu.
Aside from Dimlit, the group abandons Burgertron for leading them on, but they soon begin to fall into an immense state of aimlessness, as being influenced by Burgertron inspired them to do things they never thought possible. After Frostferatu willingly gives a rousing speech of heroism to cheer them up, the others realize that they can change their ways and proceed to help Burgertron.
Meanwhile, Burgertron’s posse set out to save their kind and unearth Mocklate’s true intentions, only to be captured by Milton and the Spoiled Rottens. They are rescued by the rest of the Lost Bots, then rescue the other BotBots one by one, and under Burgertron’s leadership, organise an army to fight back against the security bots with the extra help of Disgusto Desserto, VIP arcade token 24-K Bit, Candyhooves, and Unilla. Milton attempts to attack Burgertron from behind, but the latter is instantly alert to it and threatens to finish him off once and for all using the collector’s cup before Mocklate forces the Lost Bots to surrender by endangering the lives of Ulf and Jacqueline. Unwilling to let his friends take the fall, Frostferatu stands up for them and insists that they have every right to join BotBot society before revealing Mocklate’s deceptions to the others. Candyhooves and Unilla also reveal themselves to have been usurped by Mocklate as well and Burgertron and Dimlit finally starts a relationship with Ulf and Jacqueline. The other bots forgive the Lost Bots, much to the chagrin of Mocklate, whose crimes turn her into an outcast. Milton and the Spoiled Rottens, fed up with her abuse, approve her exile to the Dark Side of the Mall.
One month later, the BotBots all come together to celebrate the marriages of Burgertron to Ulf, and Dimlit to Jacqueline. Burgertron takes full responsibility as the permanent leader of the BotBots and is hailed as their hero with the Lost Bots being truly respected as an official squad.
So, what do you guys think?

I’d say later this year.

When the toys are on the shelves
Kofi Sapong
I get that.
Also, when do you think Season 2 will stream?
Diamondback
You missed the most important question…
Toys On Shelves WHEN?
Kofi Sapong
When will Season 2 of BotBots begin to stream?
There are so many questions left unanswered!:
And, most importantly…
Black Convoy
Yeah, but that's not useful when your only option is to buy them online and they ship at random.
Novaxmaximal
Well in TfWIKI you can check what BotBots are in the packages

I actually enjoyed the first couple episodes I've seen so far. Shame the toyline has that random pack nonsense, otherwise this show would've inspired me to pick some of these up.
llamatron
This is the best effort at diversifying the brand in forever. Good work.
Aberration
I hope Hasbro does what they did with the last two Rescue Bots series, where there's a boxset of the main cast that's just consistently available. (A new price point that would allow for animation-accurate figures would be nice too, but I guess that depends on how well the show is received.)

There you go, got you covered lol.
But seriously, it does already look better than the other show that's going to be coming out. I still do wish they eventually do an adult version like Sausage Party because they got the perfect premise for some good adult bullshittery, but I won't completely diss a breath of fresh air in what has been a lot of repetitive media.
