Transformers BotBots Nozzlesnot exclusive & Pour Gold reviews

One of the new tribes introduced in BotBots Series 4 was the Winner's Circle, a group of golden trophy-bots who will judge the other team's efforts to cause mischief in the "Goldrush Games." They pretty much take the place of the previous series' Lost Bots, hiding out in the blind-packed portions of the packages.

When the Winner's Circle was introduced, the art showed several items that were not among the actual toys - for instance, a solid gold watering can, which wouldn't show up until Series 5. By this point, Hasbro was done including maps of the mall as a fun part of the paper inserts with the figures (because that would have required them to pay artists, and they hate having to pay people money), but it's pretty safe to assume that all the Winner's Circle BotBots congregate in the mall's trophy shop, that these aren't actual items, but instead just the little statuette on top of an award. In this case, the award for best watering your plants? Damn Boomers and their insistance on getting a trophy for every stupid little thing.

BotBots were always easy to convert. In this case, you just hinged the arms out of the sides of the can, folded the legs from underneath, and then open the flap that hides the face.

The BotBots tribes are competing in the Goldrush Games to see which tribes are the most mischievous! Winning tribes are awarded shiny gold trophy bots from the Winner's Circle tribe! This trophy bot is awarded for the most nurturing, refreshing, thirst-quenching mischief and won't stop until he finds the perfect tribe! Who will grab the gold?

Well, we're just guessing, here, but either the Lawn League or the Shed Heads? Because they're the ones who deal with gardening stuff? The name is a play on "pure gold," which is better than most of the Winner's Circle bots get. His face is printed with the same blush lines on the cheeks that Nozzlesnot had, but his mouth is painted with the tongue sticking out unhappily.

Pour Gold is only available in a single set, as all the Winner's Circle are. He can be found in a Hibotchi Heats 8-pack with Camcon, Drama Sauce, Experi-Mental, Handy Dandy, Nomaste, Slurp-A-Derp, and Wah-Waaah the Clown.
