}}

Dr. Flaskenstein is a member of the Science Alliance from BotBots.
Just a heads up: We're gonna have a superconductor turned up full blast and pointed at you for the duration of this next test. I'll be honest, we're throwing science at the wall here to see what sticks. No idea what it'll do.

Sure, some bots may think it was energon power that brought them to life, but Dr. Flaskenstein knows the truth. This mad scientist bot is certain (mostly) that it was one of their chemical concoctions that was responsible for the creation of the Botbots, even if nobody else believes it, what with it being, you know, temporally impossible. In order to prove themselves right and have their genius recognized, the doctor has embarked on a series of experiments on non-bot objects, hoping to replicate the effects. The only part of science they don't like? Having Eye-Goon as a lab-partner.

Along with the rest of the Science Alliance, Dr. Flaskenstein lived in the disused science education store, where they spent their time performing scientific experiments and half-baking inventions. Flaskenstein spent her time trying to get Eye-Goon to stop calling her "master", putting up with Face Ace's attempts at jokes, and conducting experiments into tonal shifts and octave differentials. As the mall began to suffer from overheating from the other BotBots partying too much, the Science Alliance noticed, but were unwilling to come forward because they felt their lack of social graces would make presenting this information in a way anyone wanted to hear difficult. One day, after another failed experiment, the Lost Bots appeared with a dire warning from the future, courtesy of the Alliance's trans-timestream communicator (which at present was still a work in progress). Apparently the mall was in danger and the BotBots needed to be warned before the damage became irreversible. Though Flaskenstein was still not convinced, Burgertron was sure if they just gave the cold, hard facts people would listen.

They didn't. In fact, the other BotBots were so incensed they pelted the Science Alliance with tomatoes and started partying harder. Dejected, the Science Alliance were contacted by an even-more ragged future Burgertron, who gave them the message to play to their strengths. While present-day Burgertron thought the message was for him, the Alliance wondered if future Burgertron had meant their as-of-yet undemonstrated musical skills. Ignoring Burgertron's alternate plan to simply yell at the partiers (wisely, as it turned out), the Science Alliance once again tried to get their message through, this time in song form. And this time it worked, and all the Science Alliance became instant celebrities. However, as Flaskenstein had to explain to Burgertron, this according rise in social status meant they were now no longer able to hang out with the Lost Bots anymore. Then they headed off to another party, hosted by the Hunger Hubs. Sweet popularity! The Science Alliance

Later, Spud Muffin got the Science Alliance to build a Fun-O-Meter to scientifically prove he could throw the most fun party ever. Dr. Flaskenstein tried to explain the scientific principles behind this, but was shoved away by Spud Muffin before she could get very far. On the upside, the invention worked, so yay?

Toys

BotBots

[edit]
Gentlemen, behold!
  • Science Alliance (5-pack, 2020)
  • Series: 4
  • Level: 1 Star
  • Known designers: Bryan Turner (concept artist){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
Part of the fourth series of BotBots, Dr. Flaskenstein transforms from an Erlenmeyer flask into a robot and back.
He is available in all three of the "Science Alliance"-themed 5-packs:
The first set has Incog-Eggo, Peels the Monkey, and Starscope, with Mr. Business Esquire inside the blindpacked portion.
The second has Aday, Loadoutsky, and Starscope, with blindpacked Windbag.
The third has Doc Kit, Eye-Goon, and Grandma Crinkles, with blindpacked Lunchador.
This mold was also used to make Dr. Fraud and Grammy Giggleclean.
You need to buy one of the first two of these sets (with Flaskenstein and Starscope) in the "recommended minimum buy" setup for a complete set of Series 4 BotBots. It doesn't really matter which, as Flaskenstein and Starscope are the only two Bots not obtained from other sets.

Notes

[edit]
  • Dr. Flaskenstein is mistransformed in the "Get Ready, Get Set..." stop motion short, with the parts that form his "lab coat" flipped upside down as huge shoulder pads.
  • Like several characters in the BotBots cartoon, Dr. Flaskenstein's gender is different from the toy's original bio from Hasbro's website. In the doctor's case, the original toy bio uses masculine pronouns, while the cartoon depicts the character as female.
