Sean Whitmore found the Cyberverse figures, but I believe this is the first US report of Bot Shots. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif)

I've heard a lot of speculation about the botshots and the game aspect so I thought I'd give a picture of the back and the general idea behind it.
(IMG:http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/RhinoxDX/2012-02-01_10-47-56_350.jpg) Each bot has a spinner in his chest with 3 faces. A fist power, a blaster power, and a melee weapon power. You spin these around, choosing which face you want to appear. You then crash the figures into each other where they pop up into bot mode. Fist beats melee, melee beats blaster, blaster beats fist. In case both threw a particular one, the highest power number wins. -------------------- "Why does history repeat itself? Because God doesn't have TiVo."

Hmmm... BotShots "Battle online!" Is that up and running yet?
ZacWilliam, trying not to get too into Prime but boy are pegs full of brand new toys tempting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif) Also, awesome that the Vehicon comes with Blaster. That's a heck of a pack in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-arcee.gif) This post has been edited by ZacWilliam1: Feb 1 2012, 12:05 PM -------------------- Ever wonder about the speed of Turbofoxes?

That was my Toys R Us store that I work at in Topeka, KS. The red guy on the cardback is my Botshot, Sentinal Prime.
There was only one of him in the case. He's transparent red plastic and turns into a little fire truck. -------------------- "Why does history repeat itself? Because God doesn't have TiVo."

QUOTE(RCX @ Feb 1 2012, 11:12 AM)  Did you guys just get a truck today or have they been hiding in the back? heheheh. We got a truck today. Back when I was working overnights the week before christmas, I made sure every box of Transformers we had was put out. That way we had no backstock whatsoever coming in to the new year. You're seeing the dividends of that work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-arcee.gif) -------------------- "Why does history repeat itself? Because God doesn't have TiVo."

a couple quicky shots of my Sentinel with Cliffjumper in package, give you an idea of the size.

That Cliffy is a Cyberverse Commander? Commando? So... around Scout size? So Bot Shots are tiny?

that makes me think of an alternate universe were Bakugan-ish kids fight battles with their autobot/decepticon companions.

those look like they are just a tad bigger than micro machines. Maybe Bakugan-sized.
