I'm digging the orange on the figure.

I got one already - I hope the rescue Minicons get discounted soon too - as Those look flipping adorable and long-term useful too.

Sequoia looks like a great complement to Brushfire.

Sequoia is meant for Brushfire, but my kids use him with the original Rescue Bots Medix.

I just bought a Boulder - Dump Truck and I notice he has Black Wheels but all the images I see online he has green wheels.

Is there a variation or did they change the wheels either before release or as a running change ?

Just wondering.

Via fellow Seibertronian and database updater ScottyP, we have stock images (courtesy of Walmart) for two new Transformers: Rescue Bots Bumblebee figures! One looks very much like the jet-based design seen at Toy Fair NY 2017 (check out the gallery here), while the other is a BumbleRaptor called Night Raptor. They will be joining a repaint of the Optimus Prime T-Rex figure, and a new Heatwave dragon (also seen at Toy Fair) for an upcoming wave - check them out below!

If you come across any of these, or indeed other toys, make sure to use out Sightings Database tool to help out fellow collectors, and happy hunting!

both Prime and Bee had Grimlock envy?

News Credits: 462 · Mon Apr 17, 2017 11:29 am

Heh, Bumblebee's an MCU Quinjet!

News Credits: 11 · Mon Apr 17, 2017 1:58 pm

I'm a tiny bit disappointed Heatwave is the Dragon I was hopping it would be Twinferno.

In other news at carboot sale this long week end I got a Giant Titanmaster Prime Bee then I got a slightly smaller but still huge Blades Titan and then I got Aerobot - so that was a young-slanted series of finds - and I got loads more besides.

OMG You're right! I want more out of this now! Maybe not Bee, but I would love a modern Marvel Crossover.

But we saw at Toy Fair that the dragon only has one head.

You must be thinking of something else.

He's a doubleheader just like in the picture from the news.

The UK seems to be getting it's chance at some ATV-bot action as, thanks to TFW2005 user Underlord, we know that Rescue Bots Brushfire has been seen at UK retail! The new Griffin Rock bot was spotted at Morrison's for £10. Check out the photographic evidence below!

Wed Apr 19, 2017 8:21 am

I saw him in the same morrisons and was going to send you guys it!

Fellow Seibertronians, following up from their recent discovery, it would seem that this new wave of Rescue Bots are already making their way to retail shelves. TFW2005 member ahchu managed to find both Twinferno Heatwave and Optimus Prime at a Walgreens in Danville, California, as can be seen below. So, now that we know they're out there, are any of you going to set back out on the hunt, let us know in the comments below.

In case I didn't mention it my Brushfire came from Argos.

Oh and I also got Sequoia and they do work quite well together.

When I have time i'll take some pics.

Also Smyths have a listing up for those small 3 packs of auto-transforming Rescuebots - that are somewhat like Botshots cross with Gravity bots.

I also hear B&M Bargains are selling the pull back and go Racecar Bee and Sideswipe - though I've not seen them myself yet.

After seeing the Combiner Force Trail with Blurr in it - I hope I can get that Blue Blurr and Optimus with Trailer set at a good price sometime too.

Were you interested in any of those new Rescue Bots Toys we saw stock images of a couple days ago? Your time to pick one or two up might come sooner than later, as all four are available now on Hasbro Toy Shop! Yes, in addition to the Last Knight toys, HTS has something new for the tiniest Seibertronians among us, as well. You can order Jet and Raptor Bumblebee, Dragon Heatwave and Dino Optimus Prime here!

But who is the world's smallest seiberforming seibertronian?

I saw a Brushguard in Stowmarket (UK) Branch of ASDA on Saturday so he's about a few places now it seems.

Continuing on with our sightings, Ozformers also reports that many new Rescue Bots products have made their way to their stores. The new products include the Flip Changers (the single and the 3-packs), the two Rescue Team multi-packs, and the third wave of the Friends/Minicons (Swift the cheetah and Fireplug the dog). You can check out the products in the images below, and you can head on out and begin your hunt for the latest Rescue Bots toys!

[Apologies for the double post but I want this to be visible]

I just wanted to pass on an eBay offer that might be useful :

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112400868766

Item # 112400868766
BY ; usamobile-co

NEW Playskool Transformers Rescue Bots 4PK Fireplug Cheetah-Bot Servo 6TS6zg1

(there are a number of similar ones described that you can find on a bunch of regional eBays).

I'm mentioning this one as I managed to sweet talk them into accepting an offer price on the item that got it under £14.99 (equivalent in USD$)

I had to try a bunch of them to get this but for UK board members for customs reasons this might be useful.

4 Rescue Minicons for an OK price - they should work out more of less the same as the eventual Entertainer sales would. and The Entertainer don't have all of them anyway.

And remember these Minicons are compatible with normal Transformers too.

Today, thanks to a user off of TFW, we know that the new Rescue Bots mini-con Swift has been found at US retail! While we saw wave mate Sequoia hit retail about a month ago, we have yet to see Swift on shelves until today! Check out the pictures below, confirming he's going for the running rate for these figures; $4.99 USD.
