As we know, Hasbro will be present at both the Paris Comic Con event and the MCM London one, offering some potentially new reveals for upcoming toys across the currently active Transformers lines (Studio Series, Cyberverse, Siege, Rescue Bots) - but we also know that BotBots, the latest trademark to be announced at MCM London will be shown off too!
The weird listings found so far on online retail spaces Walmart and Amazon, which include the likes of Music Mob, Shed Heads, Greaser Gang 2.0, Spoiled Rottens, Seasons Greeters, Goo Goo Groopies, Toilet Troop, Techie Team, Greaser Gang, and Jock Squad, finally have some sort of visual cue, as the latest Hasbro Investor pack gives us a look at the logo and what appears to be Littlest Pet Shop styled cartoon art of the new characters - including a donut, a cup of coffee, a penguin, a soft drink, and more. Check it out below, and join the speculation in the Energon Pub!

She likes her ponies and her shopkins and all that--so merge the two, and you've got a market for young girls and young boys that aren't looking for "war toys" if you catch my drift.

It’s still not kissplayers. Kissplayers made you suck your teeth and avoid anyone learning it. This makes you squint your eyes and ask if hasbro ate all the mushrooms

BotBots are mischievous little robots who came to life from everyday objects inside a shopping mall! This rare type of Transformers robot is tiny, mischievous, and great at hiding!
Not long ago and somewhere close by, a glowing mist filled with TRANSFORMERS energy called ENERGON came down from the sky and covered a shopping mall. The things inside came to life as little TRANSFORMERS robots! These bots can hide in plain sight as everyday objects, meaning no one knows what's a bot and what's not! Mischievous, funny, and super silly, these are ... BOTBOTS!
When the Energon hit the objects inside, it made them More Than Meets the Eye. Candy, sports equipment, electronics, school supplies, and other things came to life as little Transformers robots. These robots hide in plain sight at the mall, disguised as the stuff we use everyday.
Each BotBots character belongs to a themed team based on what kind of store they belong in.
There are 61 unique 1-inch characters to collect in the first series of BotBots, each with their own individual personality. Like all Transformers, the characters change from an ordinary object into a little robot in just 3-5 easy steps.
The BotBots all belong to different tribes, inspired by product types you might find in a shopping mall, including the "Sugar Shocks" (sweet treats), the "Backpack Bunch" (school equipment), the "Toilet Troop" (bathroom items), the "Techie Team" (electronic gadgets), the "Greaser Gang" (fast food), the "Shed Heads" (gardening gear), and the "Jock Squad" (sporting goods).

Really missed opportunity for Malloplex or Shopus-Maximus with a Prowl styled Mall-Security Bot, and their nemesis Triptothemallticon.

Or Shoponok I like these things even better now that I know these transform. This is actually pretty cool

If these things sell well enough, I could absolutely see them going that route, eventually. I think about all of my daughter's Shopkins stuff and they have a ton of playsets now; the mall will be first out of the gate if these things are as big as they potentially could be.
Also, this is a really great way to sell the brand right now.

I'll be buying these for my niece and nephew. 100%

If they actually show up locally (doubt it) then I might consider picking up a pack or two.

I feel this is what the Tiny Turbo Changers were a test for: small cute few step transformers in some blind bags that are pretty cheap to pick up
