Kikmee
From Transformers Wiki
- Kikmee is a member of the Playroom Posse from BotBots.
An endless ball of energy, Kikmee loves playing. What they play is almost irrelevant, it's the playing that counts. Sports, video games, pranks on fellow bots... every challenge is met with 120% enthusiasm. Often more enthusiasm than is really necessary, occasionally quite a bit more than necessary. But this good-natured soccer-bot manages to pull it back and ensure it's all about everyone having a good time, even the bot being pranked.
If Kikmee has a flaw (and we're not saying they do, you understand) it's that they are not accustomed to the idea of losing, and doing so can send them into a dangerous, obsessive spiral until they do win, no matter how long it may take.

Musical Mall Madness
Lost Bots!
Kikmee didn't accompany Dimlit's group of Lost Bots as they explored the mall looking for places they fit in better. When they returned, Kikmee and Burgertron were playing, Kikmee booted Burgertron with enough force to cause his toppings to spill out. Seeing him and other Lost Bots playing and laughing made Dimlit's group realize that the Lost Bots was the only tribe where they all truly fit in. Lost Bots!
Transformers Holiday Food Fight!
Kikmee was brought as gift to the Autobot and Decepticon Christmas party. When all the attendees were sitting down for dinner, all the BotBots decided to get up to some mischief. Sensei Spiny used Snippy Snappy to cut the ribbon on the box Kikmee was in, letting him tip the box over and break out. He later worked with Blabberbook and Bogus Pocus to launch Professor Wellread onto the dinner table, landing on Choc-O-Lawless. This who sprayed Optimus Prime in the face with chocolate syrup, causing a food fight to break out. BotBots Mischief!

Formerly a soccer ball left abandoned in Lost and Found, Kikmee and her fellow Lost Bots were brought to life When the energon cloud struck the mall. Lone Bot and Carb When Burgertron accidentally found himself in the Lost and Found, she and her fellow Lost Bots assaulted played with him as a greeting. Evidently wanting to be part of a team, she and the rest of the Lost Bots followed Burgertron to riding the mall train to the second floor food court. However, all five were soon treated as outcasts by the rest of the BotBots after Burgertron and Dimlit broke the Sacred Rule of the Mall: allowing a "flesh creature" to see them. Despite this, she and the other Lost Bots were not discouraged, and convinced a depressed Burgertron that they could try to win everyone back tomorrow night. Mall Than Meets the Eye
As part of Burgertron's idea to attempt to increase their standings, Kikmee filmed a BotVid of herself slamming into random unsuspecting BotBots in ball mode; while Kikmee thought it was just a "fun prank", it actually made the Lost Bots even more disliked than before. Burgertron then dragged them to the mall's south wing to film a new video, where the flesh creature Dave had set up some traps to catch them. Burgertron decided to record them disarming said traps, but Kikmee caused the shabbily done structure to collapse and forced the Lost Bots to rebuild it all to spec. As Fomo (supposedly) took the video, Kikmee disabled the bear-traps portion by bouncing around in alt mode before using a pulley to pull Bonz-Eye up for the latter's part of the plan. Despite their success at trap-disarming, Fomo had instead chosen to shoot video of Sprinkleberry D'uhnut slipping in some spilled oil, which was hilarious, so their victory went unseen. (Never) Be Yourself
Kikmee and the Lost Bots were on their way to the Ice Cream-a-palooza at the Food Court when they found Frostferatu stuck in a vending machine, at risk of being eaten by Dave. Kikmee, Clogstopper and Dimlit were sent to stall Dave while Burgertron and Bonz-Eye attempted to break the cupcake vampire out. After Dimlit distracted Dave in the middle of his online shopping for a birthday present to himself, Kikmee bounced on the keyboard, stuffing his shopping cart with one thousand Grimlocks Mega Shogun Raptorsaurs. Escape from Snackatraz Kikmee messed around with some equipment in the food court and helped Burgertron put on a (failed) play about himself based on I, Cheeseburger, which Burgertron's ex-squadmates were putting on as well. Despite this, the Lost Bots really enjoyed performing and were willing to do it again, even if nobody was watching. I, Cheeseburger Kikmee later helped free a stuck Clogstopper (who was stalking Dave). Unfortunately, Dave was videotaping at the same time, putting them as risk of breaking the Rule again, so they retrieved the phone to get rid of said photos, only for the phone's apps to end up causing them to become addicted to it one by one, causing the Lost Bots to fight over it until it powered down, snapping them out of their addiction. Deciding that it was extremely evil, and definitely not a result of their own character defects, they attempted to throw the phone in the Fiery Dumpster from Which None Ever Return, before the phone transformed into Ring-A-Ling and chided them for their idiocy and lack of self-control. While Burgertron refused to do so, Kikmee and the rest admitted it was their fault for letting their phone addiction get the better of them. Phoning It In
Spending a night at the arcade, assisted by 24K-Bit, Kikmee quickly became bored as her natural affinity for all games meant she always won at everything. Then her gaze was drawn to a dust-covered claw machine in the corner. Drawn to the allure of a game she hadn't yet won, Kikmee decided to play that, and acquire a stuffed snake that lay within, rather than follow Burgertron's idea of going on an epic life-changing quest to find a special collector's cup from Costa Pasta. However, the claw machine soon proved a difficult opponent, frustrating Kikmee no end as she faced the horrible new feeling of not instantly winning at something. 24K dropped the knowledge on her that the machine was essentially rigged, making it nigh-impossible for her to win. This only motivated Kikmee to try even harder. Despite this, the machine constantly thwarted her again, and again, and again, soon reducing Kikmee to a blind fury. 24K suggested maybe taking a breather, which Kikmee was... not amenable to. Eventually, though, her manic drive won out, and Kikmee acquired her coveted snake, just in time to rescue Burgertron and Dimlit from a pit of rainbow sprinkles, since as it turned out Costa Pasta was right next door to the arcade. Though Burgertron was disappointed in the cup's evident uselessness, Kikmee suggested he hang on to it just in case it ever came in handy. The Lost Bots and the Claw Crusade
Kikmee and the rest of the Lost Bots were convinced by Playgor Cardquest to partake in LARPing (live-action role-playing), with Kikmee taking the title of "Lady Glisten-Furr": troll barber. They tried to convince Burgertron to join, but the burger was turned off by the rulebook. Still in costume, they fought off a bird that had invaded the mall (with Burgertron's intervention), which finally earned them respect from the rest of the BotBots... until Ulf said Burgertron had allowed the bird to enter by opening a skylight beforehand, thus making their respect quickly revoked. Live and Let LARP Kikmee desired to join the Jock Squad as her "real" squad, longingly spying on them. Kikmee was present later when Bonz-Eye departed for her quest to the Dark Side of the Mall to find what squad she belonged to. When she later returned Kikmee offered to do ultimate burpies to impress whatever squad Bonz-Eye found. Lone Bot and Carb Kikmee and Burgertron were having a mildly friendly chess game which Dimlit interrupted, dragging them and the rest to meet his crush:Jacqueline! Unfortunately, the flashlight talking to a mannequin's head was awkward, with Kikmee and the rest giving an excuse to sneak out, where she was the only one who agreed with Burgertron's view that Dimlit's affection needed to be stopped, albeit because she didn't want Dimlit to be heartbroken while Burgertron was concerned Dimlit liking a non-sentient object would humiliate all five of the Lost Bots. The two rigged a blind date with Anty Farmwell, had Frostferatu try to hypnotise him into forgetting his love, and even faked Jacqueline breaking up with him, all of which ended with failure, though that last one causing Dimlit to cry weighed on her conscience. Burgertron and Kikmee then attempted send the mannequin away on a truck, though seeing Dimlit cry about the break-up caused them to attempt to backpedal on that, though they only managed to save the head. Fortunately the head was Jacqueline, so they still managed to salvage the chaos they caused. Dimlit in Love
Kikmee and the Lost Bots attempt to white water raft down the escalator, which, for once, succeeded in making the other BotBots favor one of their ideas and got them invited to the Bot Prom by Ulf. After working with Bonz-Eye and Clogstopper to distract Dave with candy-coated chocolate and a trap to prevent them from seeing him, Kikmee headed to the prom, where she bonded with Batsby over doing the ultimate burpees. Sadly, this happiness didn't last long as the Lost Bots' trap was disabled and Dave was on to the BotBots, causing them to be exiled yet again after Burgertron broke the rule to distract him as the rest dismantled the prom setup. On the Bot Prom Dance Floor When Burgertron told the Lost Bots about the Ruckus Rally event, the competitive Kikmee was excited to compete in it. During auditions to see which Bot would accompany Burgertron on the Racer-Roni, Kikmee showed herself to be an excellent driver, but Burgertron didn't allow her to drive on account that it was his car, much to Kikmee's chagrin. Luckily, she did get a chance to drive the car after Burgertron's mediocre driving skills made the Racer-Roni fall into last place, prompting Burgertron to tag her in, where she managed to cross the finish-line in first place... and won the race for the Hunger Hubs instead. Oof. Still, Kikmee and Bonz-Eye received a home-made trophy as they were the true winners of the race. Burgertron even admitted she should have been in the driver's seat at the start and that she was free to drive the car anytime.The Ruckus Rally
After a failed string of attempts to be helpful as the "Crime Stoppers", Kikmee and the other Lost Bots returned to the Lost and Found to find Lolly Licks and Lady Macaron awaiting them, then giving them a job offer to find the lost Sprinkleberry D'uhnut. They accepted the request and headed to where Sprinkleberry was last sighted, where Kikmee found spilled pink frosting and a lone sesame seed, which was traced to Dave's office. While the flesh being went out on patrol, the group searched the office for clues, accidentally chancing on security footage looked an awful lot like Burgertron setting up Sprinkleberry to be eaten by Dave. Kikmee and Bonz-Eye had Dimlit and Clogstopper attempt to stall for time while Burgertron stood trial in the Food Court Court while they searched for evidence to prove Burgertron's innocence. The duo headed back to the security office, where they reinspected the footage, before Kikmee noticed the napkin had a green sprinkle on it, which Sprinkleberry didn't have. Kikmee and Bonz-Eye returned to where Sprinkleberry was last seen, finding some seasoned salt on the escalator rail, which Kikmee slipped on, requiring a save by Bonz-Eye. In the process, the two found the lost Sprinkleberry, who had similarly slipped and become stuck on a ring toss in the mall's child play area. Kikmee and Bonz-Eye took Sprinkleberry to the court, where Burgertron was about to be declared guilty, and presented their deduction on how Sprinkleberry went missing, saving Burgertron. Of course, this still left the huge pile of unanswered questions, but Spud Muffin assured everyone they'd totally look into that... right after a massive party. Crime and Bun-ishment
Kikmee, along with the rest of the Lost Bots, witnessed Burgertron's newest way to have fun: "Kiddie Menu Airlines", which was simply folding up a kiddie menu into a paper airplane, which nearly sent the acrophobic Dimlit plummeting to his demise had the flashlight not grabbed onto a nearby paper airplane. While Kikmee and the rest were proud that Dimlit was proud enough to use the plane, their joy was cut short by the sight of Spector Halloween's scary storefront, and were quickly scared silly by a red-eyed ghoul, which made them pray the store would disappear the next night. It expanded 3 storefronts instead. Kikmee and the Lost Bots then looked on at the store and were freaked out by Dave in a mummy costume a horrible bandaged thing coming out of it. After overhearing several other BotBots discussing how to get rid of the store, Burgertron thought that getting rid of the store for them would surely get them into the rest's good graces, with Kikmee using her video-game knowledge to deduce that to get rid of the store, they simply had to defeat the store's boss, which was presumably a giant spider at the back of the store that they had seen, and presumably what the ghoul was yappering about. Unfortunately, the cowardly Dimlit backed out of entering the store, and Kikmee, Bonz-Eye, Burgertron and Clogstopper didn't fare any better, getting so scared by Dave wearing a stuck on voice-changer ghoul mask they walked into a web trying to flee. Luckily, Dimlit managed to briefly muster up his courage to walk inside, (unintentionally) defeat the spider and break them out. Alas, the Lost Bot's efforts ended in failure once more as the shop was simply replaced by an equally unsettling shop which was cold, frozen and guarded by bearded men in red outfits. Spirit of Halloween
After Bonz-Eye seemed slightly too calm after the Lost Bots were scolded by Knotzel for failing to warn her about Dave, Kikmee suggested the bonsai-bot try aggressive rage-screaming karaoke to let her emotions loose. Unfortunately, this wound up being a bad idea as Bonz-Eye's singing became slightly overkill, and when Kikmee tried to get Bonz-Eye to try something else, the soccer ball was screamed at to shut the door. When Bonz-Eye's singing caused the mild mannered Snorg to go on a rampage, Kikmee and Bonz-Eye blamed each other for the chaos the Karaoke machine caused, and Kikmee was roasted by Bonz-Eye's lyrics (via Snorg) for being too competitive. Eventually, Kikmee decided that Bonz-Eye had to achieve emotional balance like she always does, and when Snorg was reverted to his normal, calm state, Kikmee and Bonz-Eye made up, with Kikmee admitting she shouldn't have pushed Bonz-Eye so far. Rage Against the Karaoke Machine Kikmee and the Lost Bots attended an etiquette lesson with Lady Macaron and the Sugar Shocks, until Clogstopper's weirdness causing mayhem cut it short. Kikmee and the rest refused to look Clogstopper in the eye afterwards, though she did mourn him when he got scanned out (and thus would never return), sharing a memory with Dimlit on how he told them that party streamers had mind-reading abilities, though this caused the toilet they were using as part of their procedures to overflow and get all four of them wet. Luckily, Clogstopper was somehow returned for being "defective", and proceeded to shun them as the other BotBots began asking him to teach them how to be "defective" (and hence not be taken out of the mall). After a few failed attempts to get popular with him, Kikmee and the rest eventually gained an audience with their ex-comrade, but him being treated like royalty had gone to his head and he wound up comparing their reasoning for being their friend to being worshipped by the others, which got worse when Clogstopper was made a king and subjected everyone to 7 hours of his play, which only the Lost Bots watched from start to finish, which eventually bore fruit when Clogstopper's royalty was taken away from him and he rejoined the Lost Bots once more.Scanned Out
Kikmee and the Lost Bots were returning to the Lost and Found after spectating another party they were not invited to when a post-apocalyptic version of Burgertron contacted them to find the Science Alliance to do something about the mall's ever-rising temperatures. She later interpreted future Burgertron's second message of playing to their strengths to get the other BotBots to listen to them (as the first attemot using scientific facts has failed) as doing a rock-rap presentation, but modern Burgertron shot her idea down. Eventually, when Burgertron's ideas inevitably failed, the Science Alliance resorted to rapping to convince the BotBots about the dangers of the warming mall ending their parties, and saving the future. Sadly, Kikmee and the Lost Bots had to part ways with the Alliance, the Alliance's higher social standing meaning they couldn't hang out with riff-raff anymore. The Science Alliance

BotBots
- Playroom Posse (5-pack, 2019)
- Series: 3
- Level: 2 Star
- Known designers: Aaron Gray (Hasbro)
- Part of the third series of BotBots, Kickmee is a redeco (well, more a pre-deco, see "Notes" below) of Sprinkleberry Duh'Ball, transforming into a soccer ball.
- He is available in two of the "Playroom Posse" 5-packs:
- The first pack includes him, Bunches, Crib Watch, Quackles, and Lost Bot Grave Rave.
- The second pack includes him, Loudsy, Mal Content, Q.U.R.O.B.O. 6000, Lost Bot Greeny Rex.
- This mold was also used to make Shuteye.
Notes
- Like several characters in the BotBots cartoon, Kikmee's gender is different from the toy's original bio from Hasbro's website. In Kikmee's case, the original toy bio uses masculine pronouns, while the cartoon depicts the character as female.
- Kikmee was originally intended to be released in Series 1 as the Jock-Squad-affiliated member of the Lost Bots, as indicated by promotional material for the series. Why Kikmee's release was changed is unknown. The result is that their redeco, Sprinkleberry Duh'Ball, saw release before they did. Their bio in the BotBots Official Sticker Book still treats them as a Series 1 Lost Bot, while they are also treated as one in the Lost Bots! book as well.
- Their original static art, used for Series 1 promotional images, gave them a mischievous grin, instead of their not-so-innocent whistling face their Series 3 static art gave them.
- Kikmee is the "example" character used for the "2 MODES" demonstration illustration on the Playroom Posse's cardfront.
- Their name hearkens to the stereotypical "kick me" prank sign, fitting their trickster nature, while also combining it with the basic rules of soccer.
- Kikmee's power in the BotBots Official Sticker Book is listed the same as Abominable Soundman's. As this seems to fit Kikmee's personality better than Abominable Soundman, it's likely this is actually Kikmee's power.
- In the Transformers Stop Motion Netflix Anime episodes "Virtually Reality", "Haunting of Bot House", and "Anime Attack!", Kikmee appears as a prop in the Decepticon base.
- According to the BotBots cartoon, Kikmee is made out of vegan leather. The Goldrush Games - Part the First
