Transformers: BotBots is a toyline set for release in late 2018, involving small, cartoony, super deformed robot characters who transform into mundane items. These 1-inch tall soft-plastic bots are marketed in the same style as the insanely popular Shopkins toys and other collectible mini-toys.
In the universe of the BotBots, a mysterious cloud of energon gas drifted through a shopping mall, bringing tools, electronics, and even food to life as tiny transforming robots. By day they hide, and by night, mischief aplenty.
Overview
Each BotBot is a tiny, 1-inch tall soft-plastic toy that converts from a robot into... something else... in a few short, simple steps. Each character belongs to a themed team depending on the "store" their alternate mode is found in, though the individual members of the team are spread out among a lot of packages:
- Single-Bot Blind Bag Mystery Figures
- 5-Packs with two Bots from the pack's theme team, two Bots from two other teams, and an additional blind-packed (but not random) "Lost Bot"
- 8-Packs with two Bots from the pack's theme team, five Bots from five other teams, and an additional blind-packed (but not random) "Lost Bot"
Naturally, there is a ton of overlap, with many figures available in multiple different packs. These redundant Bots are meant to encourage trading among the kids.
Toys
As each individual toy can appear in multiple multi-packs, we're simply listing them by team, with which packs they come in listed on the individual entries.
Series 1
| Backpack Bunch | Greaser Gang | Jock Squad | The Lost Bots |  | ||||||
| Shed Heads | Sugar Shocks | Techie Team | Toilet Troop |
Notes
- Promotional art for Series 1 shows two Bots who are not actually in Series 1, a baseball and a soccer ball. Presumably they will be in a later Series, as the Hasbro website claims 190 characters will be released in 2019.
- All of the characters introduced thus far are entirely new, separate from any traditional "Generation 1" characters: a rarity in today's Transformers toy market.
