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! Vomit Comet (voiced by Martin Roach)– a member of the Custodial Crew. He is one of the more level-headed BotBots, though he also likes causing mischief. He transforms into a vomit pile. Bunches, Crib Watch, Excessory, Halloween Knight, Sardank, Sugar Saddle, Trend Blend, Smooth Shaker (Lost Bot) Dave's mom– Dave's mother. She is the only person Dave frequently talks to, and she is constantly disappointed at her son. Ulf the Orange (voiced by Josette Jorge)– the love interest of both Burgertron (boyfriend) and Spud Muffin. She constantly shot down the former until Spud Muffin was exposed and exiled in the Season 1 finale, finally understanding his motives. She also gets angry or selfish sometimes at any risk or trouble in the mall. She is also a kind friend of Fottle Barts too. She transforms into an orange flavored juice box, and is based on a BotBot in the sixth wave of toys.

There are also robots that are controlled with coding, which Coxon recommends. Kids will learn the coding language required and then code their robot to perform certain actions. “There are a lot of robots on the market now, and choosing the right fit can be a challenge. One of the key things I look for is whether the robot can just be coded, such as KIBO and Sphero, or is engineered and coded like a LEGO robot. LEGO is also extremely open-ended and scales up to more advanced levels. Which one you choose for your child is based on your goals for their learning.” Promotional material for Series 1 shows two BotBots who are not actually in Series 1, a baseball and a soccer ball. [4] Both were moved to later Series. Arctic Guzzlerush, Batsby, Hawt Diggity, King Toots, Major Lee Screwge, Slappyhappy, Sprinkleberry D'uhnut, Game Over (Lost Bot)

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.” Our kids love throwing and shooting things at their parents, friends, siblings, and anyone else around. If your child is in this phase, you will probably appreciate the RoboShooter, as it’s a gentler alternative to other popular shooting toys on the market.

Bottle O-Tears, Cuddle Wuddle, Highroller, Mal Content, Minnycake, Trend Blend, Wristocrat, Smooth Shaker (Lost Bot) 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, 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. 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. Additionally, robot toys instill a love of STEM, or science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, which can turn into a career later in life. Fomo (voiced by Cory Doran)– a member of the Gamer Geeks. Fomo is one of the technology specialists in his squad, and he provides live footage through his lenses and a series of drones and soon becomes nice friends with the Lost Bots. Fomo was characterized as a female member of the Techie Team in the original toyline and transforms into a camera.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. He hopes to go to the Custodial Crew as his own dream, Additionally, he is very funny compared to the others in his favorite comedy, he even uses a hand puppet sometimes. Clogstopper is also interest in Fottle Barts. He transforms into a plunger. Transformers: BotBots is an animated television series based on Hasbro's collectable toy line of the same name, which is a spin-off of the wider Transformers franchise by Hasbro.

Caution (voiced by Christian Potenza)– is an member of the custodial crew, he is even an nice person to all the bot bots, he tansforms into a slip hazard sign. This article was written and researched by Julie Evans,a writer and editor whose work coverstopics including health and wellness, parenting, and technology. Her writing has appeared on USA Today, Realtor.com, Brit + Co, and CafeMom, among others. She has nearly 20 years of experience.Anty Farmwell (voiced by Julie Lemieux) is a caretaker of her ants, she is seen with Dinger and Batsby, and she transforms into an ant farm All of the characters introduced thus far are entirely new, separate from any traditional Generation 1 characters: a rarity in today's Transformers market. 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". 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. In addition to a robot and its remote control, this set includes more than 70 pieces, such as traffic cones and building pieces children can use to create an interactive path for their new robot friend. Botley is recommended for children ages 5 and up, so kiddos can get a headstart on learning about coding. There is a downside to Botley: It requires five AAA batteries total (not included) to start.
