Transformers Botbots – Pack of 8 Figures 4 cm to Collect – 2-in-1 Transformable Toy

Product Information

Face Ace (voiced by Paloma Nuñez)– a member of the Science Alliance. She transforms into a pair of safety goggles. Agent Wagner (voiced by Raven Dauda)– an agent from Sector Seven sent to deal with the mysterious occurrences at the mall and meets Dave for a talk in the Goldrush Games. BotBots easily has the highest percentage of female Transformers in its cast of any Transformers toyline, and by a stunningly wide margin. In the first two series alone, 39 of the 121 characters are female. In fact, it took Transformers as a whole thirty years to approach that number of female toy-characters period, and that's including convention-exclusive offerings! (And not counting toys that had no bio upon release and were later retconned as female.) As of Series 5, roughly a third of the cast is female, with a few bio-less 'bots and some with no gendered pronouns in their bio at all. On that note, many characters have Autobot and Decepticon insignia on them (though the latter has not been found on anyone without the former also present). However, it does not appear that this is meant to indicate factional allegiance… but in-universe marketing. Absolutely no mention of the Autobots, Decepticons, Cybertron, or the like is made in the promotional materials, only "energon". Several 'bots like Skillz Punk have both faction symbols on them, typically in the context "Autobots vs Decepticons" branding. It looks like in this universe, "Autobots" and "Decepticons" are… well, intellectual property used to advertise products. Meta! Storyboards for a pitched but unmade BotBots commercial done by Sahle Robinson can be found on the Sahl'good Studios YouTube channel, humorously featuring sound effects performed vocally by Sahle to help sell the concept.

Yes, for some reason, non-Lost-Bots ended up in two of the Seasons Greeters Lost Bot bubbles. We don't know why. Robot toys don’t need to be complicated to be fun. Younger robot enthusiasts can benefit from a simpler, introductory robot kit that introduces them to coding and design, such as Learning Resources’ Botley the Coding Robot. Older children can likely handle a more complex activity that includes electrical components and intricate pieces and construction, like the LEGO Boost Creative Toolbox. All of the characters introduced thus far are entirely new, separate from any traditional Generation 1 characters: a rarity in today's Transformers market. Steve Coxon, PhD, professor of education and executive director at the Center for Access and Achievement at Maryville University, tells Verywell Family that there are many benefits of children and teens using robot toys. “In our research, we have found increases in spatial ability and creativity along with increases in coding skills and self-efficacy (belief in their ability to solve STEM challenges),” Coxon explains. “Importantly, children also learn to overcome failure through iterating improvements to their robot design and code to meet challenges set forth by their teachers or families. Learning to overcome failure is vital for anything students choose to do in life and something they rarely get the opportunity for in school.” Bottle O-Tears, Cuddle Wuddle, Highroller, Mal Content, Minnycake, Trend Blend, Wristocrat, Smooth Shaker (Lost Bot)

Clogstopper (voiced by Christian Potenza)– one of the first 4 Lost Bots who wants to join the Custodial Crew. Clogstopper is idiotic, goofy, awkward, and prone to making very relaxed, funny and goofy decisions and unintentional comedies that usually cause odd problems for his groups.

Clogstopper is also interest in Fottle Barts. He transforms into a plunger. Each BotBot is a tiny, roughly-1-inch tall PVC-plastic toy that converts from a robot into some other object in a few short, simple steps. Though accessories are exceedingly rare in the line, many BotBots have hands that are compatible with accessories that use 3mm posts.The BotBots' various groups were referred to as "tribes" in most fiction until around 2021, when all media began using the term "squad" instead, likely to avoid potential cultural insensitivity issues. As such, for consistency's sake, TFWiki.net has opted to use "squad" in all instances except for fiction that explicitly refers to these groups as "tribes".

He became a Lost Bot after he and Dimlit got caught by Dave, leaving him to be shunned by the others. A large portion of Season 1 revolves around him trying to get reaccepted, though after Spud Muffin's deceptions were revealed he stayed with the Lost Bots, which were made an official squad. He transforms into a hamburger.

The premise of sudden exposure to Energon radiation bringing random objects to "robot life" is similar to the AllSpark Mutations of the live-action film series.Robot toys are nothing short of cool. They make kids at any age feel like they’ve stepped into the future while reaping the many benefits robot toys bring, like fine motor and problem-solving skills.

Parents and caregivers should match the robot to the child’s developmental level,” Coxon suggests. “For example, KIBO is excellent for kids ages 4 to 7, Dash and Dot work well for ages 6 to 10, and LEGO Spike and Sphero scale up from around age 7 and up through at least middle school. Of course, these can vary depending on the developmental readiness of the individual child.”

Big Botti, Bogus Pocus, Brotato, Frizzle Fry, Lolly Mints, Prince Perfumius, TP Itch, Abominable Soundman (Lost Bot) Robots are a great way to incorporate educational STEM principles into play. Many require imagination during the design and construction phase. Coding and mechanical design are two skills that bots are particularly good at encouraging. Certain robots come ready to wow kids out of the box, while in the cases of other models, putting them together is part of the fun. Agent Smartlit (voiced by Raven Dauda)– an agent in need of the lost bots and transforms into a flashlight because she is the same appearance like Dimlit.
