Premise
A shopping mall is struck by a mysterious Energon cloud, turning the various objects inside into tiny transformable robots called BotBots. Among them, a group of items that were separated from their stores of origin awoke inside the lost-and-found, dubbing themselves the Lost Bots. Lead by Burgertron, the Lost Bots dream to one day return to their original tribes, but after accidentally being spotted by the mall security guard (thus revealing the BotBots' existence to a human), they are treated as pariahs of the mall, and set out to redeem themselves while discovering their own bonds.
Characters
Lost Bots
- Burgertron (voiced by James Hartnett) - the leader of the Lost Bots and former leader of the Hunger Hubs. Burgertron is egotistical and constantly thinks of himself as a superhero-type character, despite his shortcomings. He became a Lost Bot after he and Dimlit got caught by Dave, leaving him to be shunned by the others. A large portion of Season 1 revolves around him trying to get reaccepted. He transforms into a hamburger.
- Dimlit (voiced by Deven Mack) - one of the first 4 Lost Bots. Dimlit is shy, nervous, and very reserved, though he always pulls through when it counts. Much like Clogstopper, he is typically short on intellect. He transforms into a flashlight.
- Bonz-Eye (voiced by Louisa Zhu) - one of the first 4 Lost Bots. Bonz-Eye is very bold, but far more level-headed than her compatriots. She is an expert swordsman and material artist. She also reveals to be bisexual. She transforms into a potted bonzai tree.
- Clogstopper (voiced by Christian Potenza) - one of the first 4 Lost Bots. Clogstopper is idiotic and awkward, and is prone to making very poor decisions as well as unintentional stunts that usually causes problems for his groups. Additionally, he is very relaxed compared to the others. He transforms into a plunger.
- Kikmee (voiced by Lisa Norton) - one of the first 4 Lost Bots. Kikmee is the most energetic and excitable of the group, and is comparatively hyperactive. She transforms into a soccer ball. Kikmee was a member of the Playroom Posse in the actual toyline, following her original planned release for the range. Her gender was also changed, with her original toy bio using male pronouns.
Hunger Hubs
- Spud Muffin (voiced by Joseph Motiki) - a former friend of Burgertron's. Spud actively sought to get rid of him on a permanent basis, and sabotaged the Lost Bots several times at their chances at redemption, before being exposed for his crimes and exiled to the Dark Side of the Mall at the end of Season 1. He transforms into a box of french fries.
- Fottle Barts
- Angry Cheese
- Ulf the Orange (voiced by Josette Jorge) - the love interest of both Burgertron (Boyfriend) and Spud Muffin.
