Why does Medix have a new head?
Since we know now that Medix is not the new female Rescue bot what's the point of making a new Medix toy?

The new Boulder is his original body instead of the dump truck, in the smaller "Rescan" class size.
The new Medix is the smaller "Rescan" version. I'm assuming we'll get Hoist as well now.
The Optimus toy is just a repaint of the robot from the Trailer + Cab set that came out a few years ago. Probably just to keep an Optimus on the shelves!

Well, that was more rhetorical than anything, but that's nice to know actually

High Tide's leg's are an ugly, cheap-looking, hollow mess, but his homage to Omega Supreme and under-$30.00 price make him a definite maybe. A transparent-blue visor/face-shield and better articulation on the claw-arms would have been welcome, and too bad he doesn't actually float, either. He would have made a fun tub-toy, or swimming-pool toy for the kids. Since I first saw this, I thought Hide Tide's Omega Supreme mode would have made a great design for a large playset. He could have been as large as the Imaginext Batcave or MegaZord sets and included lights, sounds/speech fx and room for the Deluxes or mini-fig Burns family. Oh Hasbro, not another missed opportunity for awesomeness... 
Is the Optimus the same enlarged mold from the trailer set, or is it even larger? If so, it could have at least not had such such simple painted-on fingers/hands; even the early Rescue Hero Prime had pop-out fists. These are for children, yes, but kids have standards too.

Boulder looks like he's a basically unchanged downscaling of his original figure. Not a bad thing, though; his first toy matches his cartoon appearance quite well and hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I'd be pleasantly surprised if at some point we got a High Tide that combines with the ship like he does on the show, but for now I guess I'll take what I can get.

Well Medix and Hoist are just toy filler considering that the actual show crew has no Medic or a tow truck.
I know why Medix exists I'm wondering why someone who has no real show appearance has another remold with a new head it's like if they took Prime Hot Shot a character with no show appearance and just released him with a new head especially since they could just do that to Bumblebee or just make a new guy.
It's just weird thats all I would not be confused if this was a new character but it's Medix with a new paint job and head.

Well, since the toyline originally wasn't supposed to have a show, one could argue that the original toys of Heatwave, Chase, Blades, Boulder, Bumblebee, and Optimus were all in the same boat as those of Hoist and Medix before the show came along and made the Original 6 more relevant than the latter two.

Fellow Seibertronians, site owner Seibertron has uploaded a video of coverage of the Rescue Bots product display from the Toy Fair to the site's YouTube account. Interestingly, it seems to feature the first 'villain' Rescue Bot. Check it out, and leave your comments below.

Sideswipe?
Morbot?
More new guys?
Wow Rescue bots as a toyline is getting pretty interesting (I'm a watcher of the show so it's always interesting to me just that the toyline left much to be desired for me)
Question who was the yellow race car guy was that Bumblebee in a new form or a new guy?
Morbot?

You forgot Quickshadow!
I was wondering on the yellow car too.
My kids love these, my only gripe is Hasbro had this one chance to actually keep things in scale.. Then for no particular reason they made Salvage (one of the larger bots on tv) like a mini bot, then started shrinking all the bots in general. Well that and half the new "transformer" toys don't actually transform.

I'm pretty excited that we're getting a Mor-Bot.
I'd be more excited if it was the original design and vehicle mode rather than one of seemingly half a dozen Blurr retools this year, but sometimes you just have to take what you can get.
And Cheetor as a power tool makes me happier than I have any reason to be about it. Yay BW homages!
Any chance of pictures or a press release?

I'll see what we can get. My understanding is our crew at the show didn't get the time they would have liked to view the display (overall scheduling, not unique problem to Seibertron.com) so focus was on the Generations and RiD stuff. But yeah, anyways, I'll shoot an email to their PR folks and see what we can get, as a break down of waves/size classes/etc would be nice! Some cool product for Rescue Bots coming down the pipe.Nemesis Primal wrote:Any chance of pictures or a press release?

Thanks, and good luck!
Speaking of cool things coming down the pipe, I really like that four-pack that shows up in the video's background a few times. Rescue Force Sigma-17, the whole original team with their original modes all in one box. Sweet.

We bring you today the Transformers Rescue Bots official images gallery. There are a couple of firsts in these upcoming Rescue Bots toys. Morbot is the first transforming villain Rescue Bots toy while Quickshadow is the first female Rescue Bot. Also if you take a look at Sideswipe he looks like RID Sideswipe in robot mode. You can check out the gallery here or click on the images below.

Nice to see them expanding the lore a bit, getting a bit more diversity in the cast.
But really, my only take away from this is: 'dawh, tiny sideswipe is so cute'

Someone needs to repaint the Morbot into a Cobra BAT. The head is perfect, just needs some details.

I'm pretty sure they stopped doing the original size Rescue Bots after the Energize figures, and the smaller "rescan" size started after that with boat Heatwave (and bike Bumblebee and monster truck Prime).
