BotBots

• ??? ("Surprise Unboxing" 6-pack, 2020)
  • Series: 6
  • Level: 2 Star

• Known designers: Robby Musso (concept artist)

Part of the originally-planned sixth Series of BotBots, Mr. MoneyBanks is a redeco of King Cheats, transforming into a thick wad of cash money. Both modes are heavily inspired by Hasbro's Monopoly game; aside from the Monopoly money design of the cash mode, his robot mode is deco'd up to look like a tux-wearing dude with a white handlebar moustache, just like Monopoly mascot Rich Uncle Pennybags.

He was supposed to be available in both the 5-pack and 8-pack assortments. However, we do not know what the package breakdowns for those were planned to be as the initial Series 6 that Mr. MoneyBanks was part of never materialized. On top of that a different Series 6 was developed for release in 2023, leaving MoneyBanks's release in limbo.

This mold was also used to make Playgor Cardquest.

Notes

• What limited information we have on his planned availability comes from the BotBots Series 6 checklist found on Hasbro's customer service website in early 2021.
• Presumably the Monopoly thing is more an in-company in-joke than an actual intention of him turning into worthless board game "cash" in-canon; after all, he's not in the Playroom Posse, and him having real-world legal tender markings would probably be seen as a Big No-No.
