Bot Shots (toyline)

From MediaWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Bot Shots is an action-figure based game that involves small super-deformed auto-transforming figures with combat rules similar to "Rock, Paper, Scissors." Players transform their Bot Shots figure into vehicle mode, send it into their opponent's figure, and hopefully the collision will trigger a transformation into robot mode.

A three-sided rotating symbol in their chest (either a fist, a blaster, or a sword) put into place before the game by the player, is judged against the opponent's pre-set symbol using the below hierarchy, determining the winner.

  • Fist beats sword
  • Sword beats blaster
  • Blaster beats fist

In the event of a draw, the figure's individual power ranking determines the winner. If a figure does not transform, its owner loses by default.

One bot in each wave is designated the Super Bot. This robot is cast in translucent plastic and has marginally higher power stats. His identity is blacked out on the back of the packaging of the other figures in the wave and has unique packaging deco calling out his "Super Bot" status. The packaging treats the Super Bots as their own "Series" with Bumblebee to Baricade being numbered Series 1: B001 to B004 but Sentinel Prime listed as "Super Bot 001" Super Bots for each wave are marked below.

44 Bot Shots figures are planned for 2012.

Notes

  • Each figure's design is a mix of various incarnations of the characters, though usually settling somewhere between "Generation 1" and "movie". Because this sort of thing makes the Wiki's brain hurt, the figures are being considered Aligned continuity family characters by default.
