Transformers have long been robots in disguise and "more than meets the eye", but a relatively new line of Hasbro toys take those ideas to an all new level. Transformers have been vehicles, military equipment, prehistoric creatures, insects and animals, construction equipment, and much more. Transformers BotBots take the concept to a cute and collectible level, hiding otherworldly robots behind what appear to be common and ordinary items. But a new batch of BotBots coming exclusively to San Diego Comic-Con are anything but ordinary, and we have an exclusive first look at these upcoming collector's items.

If you're not familiar with Transformers BotBots, their lore and mythological origin should bring you up to speed: Not long ago, a glowing mist of 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!

First up, here's a look at the Arcade Renegades, the new batch of Transformers BotBots that will be available soon on Amazon.com, followed by our reveal of the Comic-Con exclusives:
