<\/a>This Series 5 BotBot is part of the Wilderness Troop<\/a>, the outdoorsy gang who'd rather be out in nature. And sure, he definitely fits, but does the Transformers BotBots<\/i><\/a> mall not have a shoe store anywhere? That's, like, one of the last things that's still managing to hold on in real malls!<\/p>\n

Like we said, it's not outside the realm of possibility that a camping store would sell hiking boots. They'd probably be more expensive there than at a shoe store, but they would indeed exist. This solo boot is a lovely, warm, shade of brown, with a yellow sole, black and white panels on the upper, and a padded black collar. The laces are yellow as well, and they've even sculpted a pull tab on the back. Some of these altmode really cut some corners, but this boot looks ready to handle all the steeps, sand, or slickrock you could ever want.<\/p>\n

BotBots<\/i> no longer come with instructions, so it's a good thing they're easy to convert. Lift the cuff and turn it around, pull down the toecap and fold it up, then lift the arms to the sides.<\/p>\n

Hidey ho, hidey ho, here comes Lumbering Jack. Hidey ho, hidey OH NO! TIMBEEEERRRRRRRR! Lumbering Jack is coming down the way in his usual friendly mood, humming a jolly tune. The ground shakes with the rumble of his giant heavy boot mode getting closer and closer. Then CRASH! BOOM! AHHH! The sound of everything crashing down around him.<\/i><\/p>\n

Somebody really went all-in while designing this one! Not only does he end up wearing a floppy baseball cap, which is pretty dang clever in its own right, the way the feet are formed make it look like he's still wearing a little pair of boots himself! Like that Croc wearing Crocs<\/a> monstrosity, but subtle. And cute. He's got an old-fashioned mustache, and his hat has a graphic of a deer and some trees.<\/p>\n

Lumbering Jack is available in the blind-packs<\/a> as #23, or in a Party Favors 5-pack. But since the Wilderness Troop doesn't have any sets of its own in Series 5, there's no published art of Lumbering Jack anywhere to be found.<\/p>\n
