That is not Ratchet, he is a different character. Medix looks like Bumblebee by the retooling, while Ratchet (in G1) shares the same body with Ironhide.harvester wrote: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.

But when did G1 get into the conversation? This is Rescue Bots.

Because without G1 , none of your precious other **** would exist. And nobody would care. So you promoters wouldnt have a job.
Respect

Optimus' head won't stay down unless you really shove his legs up hard, and bumble doesn't lock into place easily as a car. But, they eventually figured it out.
Only one they don't have is blades, haven't see him anywhere, and he's their favorite character.
Hoist, though, in my mind, is awesomeAnd so glad they finally used a g1 name! (besides Optimus and Bumblebee)
The beauty of these toys is actually that you shove them back into place, but they are made so little fingers don't get pinched - that part is very well done.

I'm surprised no one else made the connection.
I'm guessing that Hasbro has other plans for the Protectobots, given their appearance in the Exodus novel and their inclusion in the Asian MMO game.rpetras wrote:My kid digs the rescue bots, so we'll probably get these.
Though I still wonder why they didn't go with the protectobots for the characters in the show.
Seems like that would be a no-brainer to me. Kids wouldn't know the difference and the geewunners would have a point for nostalgia.
Heck, give the bots the combiner gimmick, maybe in the finale, and sell yet another set of the figures.
I'm also surprised that a show about a rescue team had a bulldozer instead of an ambulance to begin with.

"Airlift Andy" (since "Charlie Chopper" might confuse kids with another "Charlie").PrymeStriker wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Now, since they're using the name Blades for the Rescue Bot, it make one wonder what the Protectobot helicopter will be named.
Rotorst-, wait, nope.
Evac? Whirl? Coptorbot? So many choices.

"Whirl" might be taken by the Generations figure should he prove to be an Aligned character.

While I do agree that a slight bit more articulation would do worlds for these toys, we have to remember that these are meant for preschoolers in a much different way than the main line toys are for bigger kids. While the main line toys are intended for play value, the Rescue Bots toys are meant for both play value AND to enhance motor skills in as simplistic a manner as possible. Hoist's gimmick is his one-step "lift" transformation, which this toy accomplishes as is. Any extra features would be what us older folks would want, but the really little young'uns aren't as particular as we are.Flashwave wrote:I could care less about fingers, and yeah, an imagination can give you a good fist. Heck, I still play with them sometime, and TFTM Dropkick is a favorite of mine because he can punch people with half a truck for a set of Brass Knuckles. But I still like him having a HAND. A big, black, fist shaped thing that looks like a truck grill on the end that's on a big, meaty plastic tab and slides out. That's what I meant. Would that really have been too much to design in?
