That Blades is really neat!

Oh man! Such a missed opportunity to finally give Blades a toy of his scoop claw.

Can't wait to see what Brushfire looks like. I wonder if he'll debut in Season 5.

It just hit me. The gray and red color scheme of the Megabot Optimus reminds me of his upgraded form from the season 1 finale/season 2 of RID 2015.

As far as can be told, he hasn't been released yet.

Valor is on Amazon for $6.99.

There is a new unknown Rescue Bots rescan figure with an ATV alt mode found in the "crane" of Rescue Bots Megabots Copter Crane Blades on the back of his package. It seems to be a transforming figure. What do you make of it? Here are some images of the back of the box and the asterix next to the toy states that the figure is to be sold seperately.

It makes me of Sureshock from Armada/Energon. If that's who it is, then it's homage of the year.

If not, I'd guess Cliffjumper, namely because I'm crazy.

It's color scheme looks like Servo's deco.

It's this thing, isn't it?

Isn't that just a full-sized children's ride-able toy?

I think he was making a joke. It looks nothing like the toy in the pic and its just a BB themed kids vehicle.

I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't Servo turn into a rocket sled or something?

Call me crazy, but could we be looking at a Rescue Bots updated version of Fixit with a new alt-mode? The way the handle bars look like they could move somewhat makes me think of eyebrows and the seat area with the two blue circles *could* be eyes........

Or I'm just talking crazy talk.

I can actually see it a bit. I see the eyes, the potential for a headcrest, the arms... it's possible

If you're crazy then I'm crazy because that was my first impression, too. The two blue things on the top near the seat is a fake front to the ATV. I think the top of the ATV is the front of the bot with the seat and silver part on the end making the body. The arms are on the sides, you can see the peg holes above the exhaust pipes. The rear wheels would make his legs, and the top "lights" his face with the real ATV front getting pushed onto his back. Yeah, I can see it for sure.

Although, I wonder if it could actually be TLK Squeaks repurposed for Rescue Bots?

Fixit isn't gold/brown, though (compare the ATV to the bright orange seen on Blades himself, which is a much closer match to Fixit's orange).

In the show, Servo's kind of got a multipurpose transformation function, able to turn into just about anything useful, with him usually turning into some kind of tool or machine, either mobile or stationary.

Thanks, yeah it was a joke

In all seriousness, I think the smart money is on Fixit - you can unfold it in your head. He's essentially lying on his back. The front wheels are his shoulders. The silver 'seat' is the bit that visually connects to his wheelbase. I imagine his face is hidden at the back of the handlebar assembly.

Of course, if that's the case, his torso would essentially end up looking like an upside-down version of his RID head.

Edit: I'm an idiot. I've just noticed that Emerje has written an almost idential unfolding of it. Well, at least I'm not alone...

Seibertronians, remember that unidientified ATV Rescue Bot figure That was found yesterday on the back of Rescan series Blades' packaging? Well the mystery seems to be solved on the back of Rescan series Sequoia's packaging, as the figure is not only identified as "Brushfire", but also shown in it's robot mode, utilizing Sequoia in her (Fire?) Axe mode! This also doubles as our first in-hand look at Sequoia! Check out the pics below!

Nice design reminds me of a Armada era Minicon inflated to a larger size.

Does it "shock" have elbows !!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some UK distribution on the Minicon cases - I love them things - I just wish the Police Playset was not being so illusive as I need to get the dog-cycle too.

The long 5mm posts they have would mean they'd be cross-compatible with the 2017 RID toys too (I think)
