It was asked where the Botbots would be found when they got to retail and it turns out that they are neither in the boy or girl aisle. As it turns out, they were found at a US Walmart in the stocking stuffer bins. In Canada, some have been found at the checkout line.
Only the single "blind bags" have been found at brick and mortar retail so far and it turns out that those include the rarest figures, since some characters are only found through blind bags. There is a way to figure out which character is in the bling bag since there is an number scratched into the bottom right of the back of the card. You can see numbers 16 and 9 below which correspond to Slobber Rock and S.A. Cheez, as you can tell from the list below, courtesy of tformers.com.
1 - Stinkasaurus Rex
2 - Scrub-A-Dub
3 - Nobeeoh
4 - Cocoa Crazy
5 - Sippy Slurps
6 - Remorsel
7 - Skillz Punk
8 - Fomo
9 - S.A. Cheez
10 - S'up Dawg
11 - Twerple Bubble
12 - Spud Muffin
13 - Rootwing
14 - Venus Frogtrap
15 - Fun Gus
16 - Slobber Rock
17 - Frostferatu
18 - Dimlit
19 - Professor Wellread
20 - Snippy Snappy
21 - Totes Magotes
22 - Cranks

Do we know which characters these are yet?

A better question would be who can keep track of all this

You of all people should know the power of a good spreadsheet.

No need, Philip164 already has us covered:
Green = 1 Figure, Yellow = 2 Figures, Red = 3 Figures, and Purple = 4 Figures
So the ones you can only find in blind bags are:
Cupcake
Book
Pencil sharpner
Bag
Soda Cup
Bush
Mushroom
Rock
Hot Coco
Chocolate Bar
Photo camera
Video Camera
Soap Bar
Deodorant
Decorative Plant Dinosaur

Yeah, I think its fair too. Would kind of be a dick move if all the blind bag ones could be found in the other standard packs. And in any case, we can know which ones are in the blind bags too.

Am I right in thinking there's been no official characterizations provided for the individual Botbots? Because Seibertron's photo-galleries are making my typing fingers itchy.

Before I did, I got lucky and noticed that due to Amazon shipping the three 5-packs I ordered in a bubble mailer, 2 of the 3 red bubbles for the blind figure on the 5-packs had some small cracks in them. I'm not mad, in fact this was helpful as I was able to flex the plastic on the bubble and see who was inside. That crossed 2 off my Walmart list.
I did notice that Entertainment Earth has an assortment of 5 and 8 packs as well as 6 packs and cases of the blind bags. The blind bags come 24 to a case, so I think there is a good chance of getting one of each. The ones I found at Walmart looked to be a single set of 1-24, So I'm guessing they are packaging them that way.

If anyone has dupes of the Penguin or Unicorn, those are the 2 I really want! Can't wait to start seeing the 5 and 8 packs!
Posted by william-james88 on December 17th, 2018 @ 10:23pm CST
Well every single release has now hit Canada at Toysrus stores. The 5 packs are $12.99 and the 8 packs are $19.99 CAD. There is currently a Buy One Get One 50% off which includes all Transformers at Toysrus (you may need to remind the cashier since them arriving after the begining of the sale may require some workaround) making these even cheaper. As you will see in the images below, a lot of figures repeat eachother in the packs so there is a guide available showing which packs to by to get the entire set withthe least doubles possible. You can find that guide here.
This is great news to many who were hoping to use these as stocking stuffers this Christmas. If you want to see these toys in detail before you buy them, we have a gallery for every single character here.

It would have been in a brilliant idea, and the same if they ever revisit Minicons ala the Unicron Trilogy

We have the same taste, those are the oens I wanted most too, along with Sudsbeard. My advice is to get the multipack with sudsbeard since he is unique and thus it would be the best way to avoid duplicates later.

Depends where you are located and which stores. In Toysrus Canada, they are with the Transformers for now, but at Walmart in US they are in the stocking stuffer boxes.

I completely forgot about Sudsbeard! He's another one I definitely need to get.

I ordered 1 of each (Sugar Shock, Toilet Troop and Techie Team) of the 5 packs and a Jock Squad 8-pack from Amazon and lucked out and got all 4 of those mentioned above. The donut and unicorn are in one of the 5 packs as well as one of the 8 packs, so I'd see which one you like the rest of the assortment from and go for that in store. The penguin comes in the 5-pack with Sudsbeard, so you should be covered there.
I ended up with duplicates of the pencil and football, which I'm okay with. I may keep or trade them of give them to a family friend with youngsters.

While only the five and eight packs are pictured here, which are priced £9.99 and £14.99 respectively, they did have the £2.99 blind bags available as well. The full website listings are here.
Happy Hunting!

That's great to know. I was sure I wasn't the only one who figured it out but just in case there were others I wanted to make sure. A penny saved...and all that.

Perhaps not that relevant, but a sore spot for me given the news about Hasbro's legal victory in China, and the fact that in exchange, we hardly got jack for official TFs in Big Lots.
But now, FINALLY, I have reason to go there again, so...yay.
Those Big Lots KOs were about the only KOs I'd tolerate since they're mostly garbage and aren't intended to replace or substitute official products the way "G1 reissue" KOs and OSKOs are. Most of the Big Lots KOs I have I already have the original and only buy them as novelties for their bright colors and weird dumbed down transformations.
I'll be at Big Lots next week, hope to find some of BotBots then.

Nobeeoh is my daughters favorite. She and I were down in the basement on Saturday playing with our collection of BotBots and TF's. Everyone we were playing with had to get an application of deodorant including my daughter and myself. My daughter was cackling so loud my wife came down to see what was so funny, and immediately got her own application of deodorant.

AUD $14.99

WHERE TO BUY
ITEM: E4925

Not long ago, a flowing mist of Energon came down from the sky and covered a shopping mall. The objects inside were brought 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!
BotBots characters are little figures with big personalities! These collectible toys are around 1-inch tall and change from totally normal stuff to adventurous little robots in 3 to 5 easy steps. Makes a great gift for kids ages 5 and up!
Each Bakery Bytes pack includes 5 figures from 2 exclusive teams: 3 from the Bakery Bytes and 2 from the Lawn League! 2 of the included Bakery Bytes characters have color change features. Just rub the figure to reveal the hidden color! Also look for Lawn League 8-packs (sold separately, subject to availability).

It looks like the Sudsbeard (soap dispenser) redeco might be a jug of plant food (or weed killer?), given the logo on his hat and the fact that the other new team is called the Lawn League.

I saw the 8-packs over the weekend. But I'm trying to limit myself. I have my few that I really want, and they call come in the 5 packs too I believe. The Penguin, the Unicorn, and the Donut are my top 3, also wouldn't mind the earphones
