Sweet!

Now, why on earth didn't they brag about these at Botcon?

I already got the impression that announcement of new stuff in the Prime line was subdued so as not to take away from all the Fall of Cybertron announcements and promotion. But holding back Rescue Bots news just seems weird.

Now that you mention it, I wonder if they still have that name, or if this is a replacement for it, a la "Sharpshot instead of Shrapnel".

Or, it could just be a new character name altogether (like Boulder).

I recall a robot named Fixit in one ep of Teen Titans, and their toyline had several minifig multipacks, meaning Mattel could still have that one. I know their Brave and the Bold line is what cost us Shrapnel.

Just saw the Ben 10 Omniverse preview; a new series for him means Bandai won't give us back my favorite Autobot scientist Brainstorm anytime soon.

Medix is a good name for this guy, but does Hasbro still have First Aid? Was that name last used on the SixTurbo reissue?

Sweet! I was hoping we'd eventually get an ambulance Rescue Bot. It just seems like the perfect alt-mode for an emergency response bot. Hoist is pretty cool too. I'm hoping these guys make it onto the show.
We're all just products of our programming... And there always seem to be a few glitches.

Interesting. Personally, I feel silly buying any of the RB toys, but I would like to see these guys in the show. Especially Hoist. Blades & Chase need a new G1 Buddy.

Sadly, given age of the transformers in this series, you're probably looking at an apprentice hoist working under the Autobots. Say, from RID perhaps?

No, I'm just talking about characters that have characters in G1 in this series, which only seems to be half of the Rescue Bots (with Medix & Hoist, it would remain half of the team).

Anyone notice that these seem to be extreme retools of Heatwave and Bumlebee? Their transformations look identical. Ratchet's head even looks close to BB's. I still like these and am totally going to get them.
