Who's the white guy with the gun? Is that Bottocorrect?

 

And the orange guy with the big fists? I can't tell what he turns into.

A good chunk of America?

Charlton Heston, but that's not important now.

Looks like a new BotBots Challenge pack will be making the rounds to toy reviewers again!

Theres a botbots sticker/data book up for preorder on Amazon. Unclear if this is the same as the ultimate guide book shown at Toyfair or something different but it only contains data on 123 Botbots (probably just Series 1+2 and maybe the baseball and Kikme the soccer ball who were supposed to be in Series 1)

Radio Free Cybertron got one of the Series 2 Botbots Challenge cases and have pics of it and the contents on their Twitter feed. Here's the catalogue/poster included (which fills in a few names we didn't know):

I like how the box art on the big case seems to be drawing Short Edge as a Super Hero with a cape.

-ZacWilliam, so jealous.

The last two pages, the last few posts especially, are bad for my Not Having These Yet illness.

Oh my gosh the King Toots redeco is named TP Itch? Is it supposed to be like subpar toilet paper??

Everybody I saw was guessing Grrrr'illa Grimes was a gas container, but no, looking at the catalogue he is 100% Orange Goop hand cleaner.

-ZacWilliam, which is 100% something you buy at that sort of store if you work in a wood or mechanical shop environment.

[Boss Borot]

The big-fisted orange guy is Grrr'illa Grimes, in the Shed Heads. Looks like a big jug of cleaning fluid or something? One of the types that you pump up and then use an attached hose to spray stuff down.

Hashtagz is a repaint of the laptop with what looks like Botbot 'stickers' slapped on

I really like Bogus Pocus the magic book, and Rebugnant the insect repellant spray.

I'm only now realizing there's a printing error on the checklist, Lolly Licks' static art is in Lolly Mints' place.

Okay then, still need 8-pack Lost Bots info, buuuuut

So far, the must-buy packs in Series 2 are...

 

Music Mob w/ Grampiano

Spoiled Rottens w/ Big Cantuna

Spoiled Rottens with Mocklate

Swag Stylers with TP Itch

 

And single-packs Must Turd, Sir Botcha, Ice Sight, The In-Sole, Tropic Guzzlerush, Sandy Man, Javasaurus Rex, King Candyhooves, Sippyberry, Glitchface, Techtonic Sonic, TV Cop, Captain Swoon

 

I'd bet money Hamurai will also be a single-pack-only Bot, as he's one of only two new-mold Lost Bots in that assortment, and Overpack is also in one of the Music Mob sets (the one with Grampiano).

[TF14]

I hope we get bios for these guys two, if only to find out everyones genders!

[ZootyCutie]

Feels like we should be getting bios and a full site update soon, if that April 1st street date rings true.

[M Sipher]

There's the sticker book coming that seems like it'd cover a lot.

 

 

M "Of Course I'm Gonna Buy It" Sipher

[M Sipher]

Eh, while I still got the sheets out...

 

BOGUS POCUS - Fantasy book wizard

BOTTOCORRECT - Mistake-erasing assassin

DRILLIT YASELF - Decorating designer drill

DUMBEATS - Loud lovable drum kit

GRAMPIANO - Graceful grandma piano

GRRR'ILLA Grimes - Greasy gorilla soap

PINK KEY POP - Flashy keytar

SHORT EDGE - Precise short ruler

SONGWAVE - Not-so smart speaker

SPOTS THE ROCK - Zen massage rock

STEVE FROM ACCOUNTING - Regular office stapler

TOOL BAG - Unhelpful tool bag

 

 

M "Enjoy That" Sipher

[TF14]

Tool Bag the unhelpful tool bag is such a tool
Loving how Steve is just a regular office stapler

[M Sipher]

Okay, so the sticker book says it's got 163 profiles.

 

Series 1 & 2 only add up to 161 Bots tho. Buuuuuuuuuuut Kikmee and Strike Four were moved out of Series 1 for some reason or another, so they're likely in the book.

 

And this adds more weight to the Bakery Bytes/Lawn League sets being a store exclusive.

 

 

M "Would REALLY Be Nice To Know What Their Deal Is" Sipher

[ZacWilliam1]

Hmmm:
"BOGUS POCUS - Fantasy book wizard"

There's so many ways to parse that. Is he a robot who fantasizes being a wizard from a book? Or is he the sort of Wizard you find in a Fantasy book? And if the later is he a Harry Potter style wizard or more of a Gandalf? Or is he a DnD style Wizard who needs a spellbook (which he is) to be a wizard?

-ZacWilliam, and would the latter make him actually a Sorceror since the source of his magic is inside him? Is he duel classing?

[TF14]

The botbots website has updated but only with the series 2 jock squads for some reason.
Ice Sight and Tropic Guzzlerush are girls the rest are boys.
Toughdown is described as a smashmouth football yet not once do they call him an all star missed opportunity.
