And the award for the best Transformers name ever goes to... Mr. Business Esquire!
Pop n Lock would look good held on MP Jazz's shoulder (assuming he ever gets released and his arm hasn't fallen off going by current MP QC).
Never thought we'd see a Whoopie Cushion Transformer. I feel like we've reached a peak now, it's all downhill from here.

Been in Asdaland and Sainsburgeries for a while. Not in the lands North of the Wall they've not. Up here we've only been treated to the clearout of leftover series 1, 2 and 3 stock. Which I suppose is what we deserve... |

For the first time I am disappointed in Botbots. Having picked up the two new multipacks that have appeared in Smyths, I was shocked to realise that despite them being £20 each, they only contain six actual Botbots each - the standard 5-packs are only a tenner. And in fact, that makes them *more* expensive than buying the single figures!
The reason for this is, I am sure, all down to the gimmick. Both sets have the Botbots in little plastic balls so you can pretend you're playing an arcade game as they drop out of the bottom of the packaging. The balls themselves however are not made from the stadard packaging plastic - nope, this is decent quality hard plastic, and I'm guessing that's where the rest of the money went. So instead of lots of Botbots, you are instead paying for a lot of old balls. Disappointing.
And yes, I already know what you're about to say.

*Maybe the gold figure pushes the price up?

I doubt that the paint is of high enough quality to do that. And especially not by a whole nearly-tenner. It probably is the balls that do it...

Is it worth paying an extra tenner for hard balls?

Series *five* unexpectedly in the wild! news.tfw2005.com/2020/02/05/transformers-botbots-series-5-goldrush-games-blind-bags-spotted-at-uk-retail-404642 Unexpected because we've not even had all of series four hit the shops yet! Still, better now when I have time to rush round the shops looking for them all than these landing once the scraplet's also hatched. Although, being honest here, I'm pretty sure if I ask Jo whether she'll want me to come home to look after the baby or go look for more Botbots for her after work, I know what the answer'll be... |

There should also be a cake vehicle too. Perhaps in a later wave.
Looking forward to watching the cartoon Friday!

THE LINE LIVES!
And while I am usually indifferent about Bot Bots, I must have those vehicles and bases. And crews for them.
Damn it.
If Hasblowwww UK sell them.

Still love how some of these have such amazing transformations and others are just flashers exposing themselves in the park.

I definitely feel like they've crossed an ethical and philosophical line with some of these. It was already a stretch moving away from just household appliances that had been brought to life to biological things like food and plants. But now, actual animals have been converted? There's a cat, a dog and a rat there! It ain't right! What next? People? I really hope there's a people Botbot next...
But actually, those pet Botbots are just mad enough that I want them anyway. They make no sense at all, but I want them. Here's hoping that these actually end up being available in the UK...

Maybe they are Britains type realistic models of animals.

Speaking of BotBots - I have lost Quackles' face!
The obvious culprit is RotF Prime, but he's boxed in the loft, so can't possibly have been him, right?

I love the way the cat just 'Pretender's' into a crazy cat lady!
The hamster looks suspiciously like a Zuu Zuu pet (or whatever they are called nowadays).
If the animals freak you put, there is also an ant farm and birdcage - with the live animals still inside!
Anyway, all of these excite me more than Blitzwing.

That Blitzwing toy is awful. Why the red big hands? Are they going to link with another ie the combiners. But someone needs to make a better job at the core toy.
Those botbots look good - the Autobot logo one & Pretender gran cat

The Autobot logo had better be called Prowl.

I'd only gotten around to reading the actual text last night, so hadn't initially realised that. Yes, that is truly horrific. I love it. I'd like to hope that we see those two in the new show, with the creatures crawling around inside or over them in robot modes... but I doubt they'll go that far. |

Right, watching the cartoon now and have paused it to post that - yes: the ant farm is in it and she has ants crawling out all over her. |
