Hasbro, eOne and Netflix have announced that Transformers: BotBots, the first ever comedy series in the beloved Transformers franchise, is set to premiere on the streaming service this March.
Executive produced by showrunners Kevin Burke and Chris “Doc” Wyatt (Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy), the animated series is described as “full of high energy humor that will delight kids, transporting the next generation of viewers into a brand new world of mischievous little ‘bots that come in a wide and unique range of hysterical characters, who are the epitome of… MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE.” The official synopsis for the new animated series reads:
When a mall is hit with Energon, everyday objects from the food court, the hardware store and other locations spring to life and convert into tiny Transformers robots called BotBots. They formed squads based on the store they came from, but not every ‘bot was in their correct store when they came to life. By day, these BotBots hide quietly on mall store shelves but at night, they jump headfirst into adventure until a misfit group of BotBots called ‘The Lost Bots’ run into the mall security guard and put all the ‘bots in danger. Will these zany ‘bots be able to overcome their differences, defeat the security guard and gain acceptance with the other ‘bots?
