BotBots

• Hunger Hubs (5-pack, 2022)
  • Series: 6
  • Rarity: Common

Part of the sixth Series of BotBots, Dud Spud is a very, very minor redeco of Spud Muffin, transforming into a carton of french fries. The most obvious difference between the two is the different mouth tampograph, but there's a bunch of less-obvious ones as well: Dud lacks the inner-arm paint, the red paint is a more orangeish hue, and all of the rest of the paint and plastic is ever-so-slightly brighter than Spud Muffin's.

They were available in one of the "Hunger Hubs"-themed 5-packs, in the blind-packed portion of the set containing Brock O'Lonely, Cold Turkey, Don Meleon, and Wafflenetic.

• Racer-Roni (Vehicle pack, 2023)
  • Series: 6
  • Rarity: Common

Dud Spud was also available in the Racer-Roni vehicle set, along with Ulf the Orange, Veggietron, and Grease Drip from the Oil Slicks.

Notes

• Dud Spud is... weird. No other mold-reuse in BotBots is so minorly changed from the original; when images of Series 6 released, many assumed it was just going to be Spud Muffin again, which made sense given his prominence in the BotBots cartoon. The mystery deepens, however, as the pack-in catalog shows a very different deco for Dud Spud, with a yellow visor and reddish-orange fries, implying Cajun-style or possibly sweet potato fries. Yet Dud is in five different pieces of box-art this series and they're all in the final Spud-Muffin-esque colors.

It's possible Dud was originally intended to be a new Bot (back when much of this product was apparently slated for a Series 7 release), then the deco changed to tie into the cartoon more, but the name change and checklist photo change didn't make it to final print (it wouldn't be the only mistake the package/catalogs made in the shuffle, Veggietron has a similar coloration oddity, only seemingly in reverse).
