Part of the sixth Series of BotBots, Blindpost is a redeco of Goob Toob, transforming into an "oil-slicked" CRT television set. His face deco is based on the ghosts from Pac-Man, namely their vulnerable "TURN-TO-BLUE" phase. (In TV mode, he even resembles the ghosts in general shape!)

He is only available in the blind-packed portion of one of the "Gamer Geeks"-themed 5-packs, in the set with Chitter Click, Go-Naut, Pew Pew Pew, and Scratchmouth.

This mold was also used to make Telly, TV Cop, and Yule B. Bored.

Notes

• Blindspot's name is likely a reference to a famous trick in the original Pac-Man arcade game; By entering a particular tunnel from below and staying put in that corner, it is possible that it will result in a "blind spot" where the rules dictating each ghost's "target tile" (two of them never actually target Pac-Man directly!), and when/where/how they can turn when presented with a choice of paths, get all four ghosts stuck in endless loops, unable to reach Pac-Man, forever.
