They may be smaller robots than what we usually see, but these bots are still more than what meets the eye in the upcoming new series,&nbsp;<em>Transformers: BotBots,&nbsp;<\/em>named and based off the toy line of the same name.You\u2019ll enjoy relatable characters, hilarious adventures and great friendships in the first comedy in the Transformers franchise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Enjoy Tiana S.&#039;s review of Transformers: BotBots\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TIV4BFA99UY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/transformers.b-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1544\" width=\"225\" height=\"119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/transformers.b-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/transformers.b-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/transformers.b-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/transformers.b.jpg 1422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Transformers: BotBots<\/em>\u00a0follows everyday objects that turn into mini robots at night after a substance called Energon hits the mall. Things get interesting when \u201cThe Lost Bots\u201d from the lost and found section of the mall run into the mall guard as they strive to get back into their original squads. Will they be able to prove that they are worthy of being part of their original groups or will they stay lost forever?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Enjoy Tiana S.&#039;s interview with Chris &quot;Doc&quot; Wyatt about Transformers: BotBots\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/77PqBHOHvE0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Burgertron (James Harnett)&nbsp;is the main protagonist of the Netflix series <em>Transformers: Botbots<\/em>. He is a burger transformer, the former leader of the Food Court Squad and leader of the \u201cLost Bots.\u201d The rest of the \u201cLost Bot\u201d team are Kikmee the soccer ball (Lisa Norton), Dimlit the flashlight (Deven Christian Mack), Cloggstopper the plunger (Christian Potenza and Bonz-eye the Bonsai plant (Louisa Zhu). Most of the adventures take place as the \u201cLost Bots\u201d try to avoid the flesh being, Dave the Mall Guard (Mark Little). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/transformers.a-300x169.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1545\" width=\"225\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/transformers.a-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/transformers.a-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/transformers.a.webp 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I love how, throughout the entire series, each episode is a new adventure and picks up where the previous one left off &#8212; almost like a movie. One of my favorite characters is Bonz-eye because she is fierce, carries a cool Katana and is the perfect representation of girl empowerment. The series is really funny, especially when Bonz-eye tries to slingshot Burgertron to save another bot and does it with enough force to cause his toppings to spill out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Transformers: BotBots<\/em> is about not focusing so much on the negative or changes that happen in your life. The \u201cLost Bots\u201d were so focused on reconnecting with their original squads that they forgot to take time to appreciate the new friendships they had with each other. Sometimes you just have to stop and enjoy what life gives you. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give <em>Transformers: BotBots<\/em> 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 13, plus adults. It really has something for everyone, and you can stream it now on Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Transformers: BotBots | Official Trailer | Netflix After School\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q0QFMaVhwiU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the lights go out at the mall, the BotBots come out to play.
