Does a team of BotBots seem incomplete? Then maybe you should check theLost and FoundforThe Lost Bots.
This ragtag assemblage of kooks and oddballs are not terribly popular with their fellow mall mechanoids, whichmayhave something to do with their repeated hare-brained attempts to try and get into the good graces of their would-be peers, which often seem to backfire spectacularly. But at the end of the day, when nobody else might want them around, the Lost Bots will at least have each other.

Lost Bots!
The Lost Bots lived and played happily together in Lost and Found. One dayDimlitsawS'up DawgandHawt Diggityand realized how close theGreaser Gangmembers seemed. Dimlit decided to set out with a group of other Lost Bots to see if they could find places where they best fit in. After they traveled themall,to no success, the group returned to Lost and Found. There, Dimlit saw all the Lost Bots playing together and realized that was where they all belonged.Lost Bots!
BotBotscartoon
Having been in the mall's Lost and Found when theenergoncloudhit, the Lost Bots, consisting ofKikmee,Dimlit,Bonz-EyeandClogstopper,were born separately from all the other BotBots, to the extent they never even knew there were other BotBots to begin with. Meanwhile, their fellows only suspected the Lost Bots' existence, but were too busy partying all night to check. That is until circumstances ledBurgertronto wind up in the lost and found. He informed the quartet of the various squads, and convinced them to travel with him back to thefood court,where they could meet their own squads. On the way back, they had to avoid the gaze of theflesh being,lest they break theSacred Rule of the Mall,but Burgertron's completely brilliant and well thought-out plan to get back to the food court quicker wound up drawing his attention anyway. To prevent Burgertron being eaten by the snacky human, Dimlit broke the rule to save him, an act witnessed by all the other BotBots. As a consequence, Burgertron was kicked out of theHunger Hubs,and a gloatingSpud Muffinnoted that after that none of the other 'bots were likely to accept them either.Mall Than Meets the EyeThe Lost Bots quickly became total outcasts. Not one to admit defeat, Burgertron hit upon the idea of regaining their lost popularity via zany schemes, starting withBotVids.Their efforts did not succeed, with Kikmee's idea of pranking 'bots by hitting them in her ball mode making them evenmoreunpopular. Stumbling on the "trap" the flesh being had constructed in an attempt to prove the BotBots existed, the Lost Bots decided to disarm them and become heroes to the rest of the mall. Though they succeeded, their efforts were for naught, asFomoinstead recordedSprinkleberry D'uhnutfalling on his behind.(Never) Be Yourself

- Known designers:Aaron Gray(designer),Kevin Raganit(concept artist),AJ Piejko-Brown(packaging),Ryan Glantz(instruction designer)
- The individual members of The Lost Bots are spread out across a range ofBotBotsproducts... andonlyin theblind-packedportions. Luckily, the Lost Bots arenotrandomly-packed, so you are always assured a specific Lost Bot with each different set.
- Single-botBlind Bag Mystery Figures
- 5-Packs with two characters from the pack's theme team, two figures from two other teams, and an additional blind-packed rare "Lost Bot"
- 8-Packs with two characters from the pack's theme team, five figures from five other teams, and an additional blind-packed rare "Lost Bot"
- There are a few exceptions: theBakery Bytes,Lawn LeagueandArcade Renegadessets keep the blindpacked portions, but the toys inside are all members of those three teams,notLost Bots.
- See the individual Bots' pages for a complete listing of what packs they're available in.
Notes
- Each Lost Bot is meant to fit in with one of the other teams in their Series, with no more than three Lost Bots per team in Series 1 through 3. The matches for Series 1 and 2 were confirmed by the BotBots Sticker Book, while Series 3's are our best guesses:
Series 1
Bonz-Eye = |
Shed Heads |
Series 2
Abominable Soundman = |
Techie Team |
Series 3
Grave Rave = |
Seasons Greeters |
- Currently for Series 1 to 3, theBakery Bytes,Lawn LeagueandArcade Renegadesteams do not have any Lost Bots. TheWinner's Circleteam effectively replaced the Lost Bots starting in Series 4.
- Kikmeewas originally intended to be the Lost Bot from theJock Squadin Series 1, revealed in theBotBotsanimated pitch.[1]However, he was eventually pushed to Series 3 as part of thePlayroom Posse.
- His bio in theBotBots Official Sticker Bookstill lists him as a Lost Bot and he is still treated as one in theLost Bots!storybook.
- Additionally, Kikmee (as a female) is also a Lost Bot in theBotBotscartoon,presumably due to the early promotional materials still treating the character as a Lost Bot.
- While theMusical Mall Madnessstopmotion is a remake of the "Official Digital Commercial",Arctic Guzzlerushappears in place of Stinkeye Stapleton. This seems most likely to be an animation error, as both are the same color. It's also possible that the animators may not have had a Stinkeye Stapleton available to use.
- Alternately, maybe this is actually "first nameGuzzlerush".
