Transformers Rescue Bots Elite Rescue Heatwave showed up a few days ago on HasbroToyShop.com and was found at retail earlier tonight at Target in Rosemont, IL by Seibertron himself.

He gave us some in hand images which include our first look at Elite Rescue Salvage, found on the back of the card.

As you can see from the comparison shot, these seem to be upscaled versions of the first year figures such as Heatwave the Fire-Bot with new alt modes and a slightly more complex transformation.

Saw one at Target today, myself. Won't buy it unless it makes its way into the show, though.

Pass. As a parent I am done buying rescue bots after I find rescan Boulder and Chase. These "reissues" are getting stupid. I might pick up the new bot though. Depending on cost.


I noticed last month that Hasbro reissued the original Hoist and Medix, which was great as I picked them up for $10, after selling my first set on ebay about a year or so ago for about $100 each!

I saw them at Target a few weeks ago. I passed at the time because I was already buying about $40 worth of toys and had to cut my trip down. And the fact that Meijer and Walmart still have the price point of $7.99 while Target has always been 9.99 each. I figured I would wait untikl I see them there. I hate it when you go weeks without finding squat, and then all the sudden everything shows up at once... :)

Reissues like the rescans, the dinos, these new ones......new characters are in order. That is why I might pick up Salvage, and was glad to see Medix and Hoist reissued.

They keep making new toys of the main four since those guys are in the show. They're trying to milk their popularity as they always do with popular characters.

I wager it is $14.99, but it could be more. I am actually going there to day on my lunch break, so I will look then. If they have Salvage I might grab it.

I understand, but they should release a few new characters every year or so. I like that they are not overloaded with characters, but adding a new bot every year or so would be better. With this line we have had five reduxes for the same six characters. Two of which barely are in the show, which I am happy about. BB and Optimus are cool and all, but geez.....

Yes. We had the first set, the Energized, and these, which are basically the same molds, and then the dinos and the rescans, which were at least different to a certain extent.

At least they threw a new bot in there with Salvage.

Not true. This new Heatwave is much bigger than the original (roughly the size of the old nontransforming Electronic figures, or the big Optimus that came with the Rescue Trailer), turns into a very different-looking fire truck, and has a completely different transformation scheme.

Not to mention that we are getting a new character (whether or not he'll be in the show is another issue).

Image

And this Heatwave is a new mold, priced at $19.99 that is considerably larger than even the larger first 2 years of Rescue Bots as shown in this picture. Masterpiece Soundwave should demonstrate the considerable size difference along with Medix.

Man, I really need to do a Rescue Bots gallery marathon to get that line current in our galleries.

It is a retool of the original, up scaled. No different than they did with Chromia with Prime Arcee.

Energized and the originals were the EXACT same molds with clear parts. The point is it is the same old figures being released over and over. They are starting to put the ROTF line to shame....

$20 price point? Ouch. It is BIG though. Maybe seeing them in person will help with the price.

If so, I will only get Salvage. My boys don't need yet another Heatwave.

Awwww. Come on. Salvage should be in Junkion colors.

Put out a repaint and I'll buy it no questions asked. Same for all the other oddly colored dump trucks.

Same goes for all the motorcycles.

Prime Arcee to Generations Chromia was a retool, yes.

This new Elite Rescue Heatwave is not. It is a brand new mold in and of itself.

Seibertron actually has it and said the same thing, so I would assume I am wrong. It looks the same though, which is enough for me to pass. Doesn't mean my boys won't try to ask me for it if they see it a retail though... ;)


I guess Salvage will be my boys "Omega supreme" of the group, since it is so big.... :D

Sorry for asking a dumb question, but what is this tiny Crosshairs (line?)? I suppose I'm a bit behind on my toy releases, and I couldn't find him with a simple search. Any info appreciated!

Thanks,

Some Takara only line called Transformers Q or something like that.
Re: New Images of Transformers Rescue Bots Elite Rescue Heatwave and Elite Rescue Salvage (1644046)
Posted by gothsaurus on January 28th, 2015 @ 1:59pm CST
Yeah, that Q line... while a bit of a random collection... is really cute. I have the first wave. They're all manual transformations, and a few straight-up G1 bots are included. Prowl and Sideswipe are almost spot on like the G1, but others fudge the transformation a bit. G1 Prime, Wheeljack, Hound, Sunstreaker, Bluestreak and load of others are on the way. Good fun.

Back on target tho, may pick up that Prime. Looks like a good representation.

Posted by shockblast2 on January 28th, 2015 @ 2:29pm CST
No Salvage at my local Target. Hell, no new transformers in general. Just the same RID figures warming the pegs. And blank spaces where the generations stuff goes. What irritates me is that every other toy line has their new stuff out.

Thanks to fellow Seibertron.com user Sabrblade, and via fellow Transformers fansite TFW2005.com, we have a reported sighting in Hong Kong of a new Transformers Rescue Bots Optimus Prime and previously unknown, purple speed racer Blurr! Check them out in the images below.

Says you, that's an out-and-out reskin of Chase. Same transformation, same parts arrangement. Of any of the new Rescue Bots, He and the new Minisub guy (who appears to be using Heatwave's boat mode) would be the two easiest because the animation framework is already there. Remember, they pulled the same trick with Ultra Magnus in TF:Prime.

Still odd how the character design on the packaging artwork and the toy's design don't match each other, after all this time of us getting character designs homogenized between the packaging artwork and toy appearances.

Fellow Seibertron.com member and podcaster ScottyP has just sent us a tip about some interesting Transformers: Rescue Bots figures showing up at his local Target in Raleigh, NC. As you can see in the image below, he has found the new Boulder and Chase toys, plus a first sighting of Rescan Optimus Prime, and Salvage, for $9.99 each! If you spot these in your area, make sure to flag it up in the appropriate section and forums to help other collectors out.

Posted by ScottyP on February 5th, 2015 @ 6:36pm CST
Salvage is pretty fun. I've also noticed these latest ones feel hefty for their size. They'll probably hold up a lot better for their target audience then the mini-Dinobots did last summer. Oh man, the Amazon reviews for those things, wow. Bad.

I picked up Boulder & Chase yesterday. Unfortunately, they are junk. Both are EXTREMELY THIN and lightweight. They are also VERY small. And Boulder has one of those horrible transformations like Underbite and the mini Heatwave Apatosaurus.

I will probably pick up Salvage and Blurr, but that is all. Poor quality and a $2 price increase is inexcusable.

Dang, really? I thought Boulder especially felt nice and solid, definitely a step up from the Motorcycle Bee/Boat Heatwave plastic quality. Or maybe they were so cold from sitting in my car most of the day that they were partially frozen and if I go back they'll feel thin :lol:

Yes, I thought Boulder was horrible. You have to practically attempt to crush the thing in your hands to get it to stay transformed in truck mode. And it is REALLY small compared to even the other rescans from last year. Boulder SHOULD NOT be smaller than motorcycle Bumblebee.

Chase isn't much better. Really small and thin, especially at its wheel joints. Its transformation is passable, but is nothing special.

All of this is inexcusable when you consider a 20% markup from last year.

Seibertronian ScottyP is at it again, as his ventures in North Carolina led him to a Target in Knightdale, only to discover the recently revealed Feature Bots from the Transformers: Rescue Bots line. The two vinyl characters with action features, spinning drill on Boulder and axe chopping action on Heatwave,were priced at $4.99 each. Check out the image below for proof.

I'd really like to see some of these guys done up in the Generations Line. Maybe in 5 years or so when the little ones grow up a bit more and want toys from their formative years.
Re: New Images of Transformers Rescue Bots Elite Rescue Heatwave and Elite Rescue Salvage (1650697)
Posted by gothsaurus on February 13th, 2015 @ 2:34pm CST
I actually REALLY like that idea. In the same way we got a Lockdown in Generations, I'd love to see some of these characters. Maybe the main four. Heck, I'd also love to see a G1 Bulkhead for Generations... or maybe even out of the G1 Grapple mold or something. (?)

Either way, solid idea. The show is actually pretty watchable ... very story-based instead of just fighting fighting fighting lasers lasers!!! Or loads of new character introduction episodes. It definitely draws you into the little town, human characters, small cast... Makes me want grown up versions of those four robots.

At BotCon 2014, me and the guys I was hanging out with had lunch with two members of the current Hasbro TF design team. I believe they were Ben Montano and Lanny Panzica. During the lunch, we got talking about things we'd never ever expect Hasbro to ever make, and I brought up the idea of "show-accurate, fully articulated, regular style Deluxe or Voyager versions of the Rescue Bots," and the two of them were like "Now, wait, hold on sec!" They didn't see that idea as much of an impossibility as I suggested it would be, and gave a convincing argument for why Hasbro would be willing to make those kinds of toys, but at some point further down the road in the future rather than any time soon.

They based their logic on how kids who grew up on Beast Wars and Armada are showing interest in the Generations toys for Waspinator/Rhinox/Rattrap and Armada Starscream, and so rationalized that kids who grow up on Rescue Bots now would similarly show a likely interest in getting better toy versions of those characters when they get older, based on that same kind of nostalgia that those who grew up on Beast Wars and Armada display for the Generations toys of those series' characters.

So, yeah, they are well aware of the demand for something like Generations toys for the Rescue Bots, but feel they would do better for not just the collectors of today but for kids of today as well when those kids grow up and graduate into the more advanced lines in the years to come, to better capitalize on the nostalgia they (and we adult fans of the show) would come to have. So if we do ever get Generations Rescue Bots, they'll probably come along in the not-too-near future. But better later than never at all.

Is it just me, or doest it seem like High Tide on the show will be the whole boat and not just the mini-sub> And if so, why are we not getting a transforming version of that?

The final gallery concerning Transformers products for 2015, as revealed by Hasbro at the New York Toy Fair, is for the bots of a younger persuasion among us - as Rescue Bots brings in some extra recruits in the form of Salvage, Blurr and High Tide, new playsets, more Dr Morocco and plenty of Playskool goodness to the folds.

Why dont they just introduce Decepticons to the rescue bots line already ? They could make them bumbling idiots, buffoons, bullies, etc. How many forest fires can you stop before kids get bored to tears ?

Why would you want idiotic Decepticons? Wouldn't that defeat the whole point of them being decent threats?
