We have seen some of these products before to give us an idea of the aesthetic but the breadth of the Playskool Friends Transfomers toy line was not fuly known yet. Well thanks to a Hasbro update to their site, we now have several new listings and official images. These toys are for the youngest Transformers fans, at 1 and a half years old and over. While they feature certain rescue bot characters, they also feature G1 based characters, like Arcee.

DAMN YOU SEIBERTRON!

I was cured of diabetes.

And now, I got it all over again...

You call them Playskool Transformers, I call them South Park Transformers.



Boulder is a little bit of nail polish remover away from being Kenny in a green hoodie.

Omce again, Scottimus Prime has sent us a notification that a new Transformers: Rescue Bots toy from the Flip Racers line has been sighted at the South Setauket, Long Island, NY Target store. This time we can let you know the Bumblebee Quick Launch Garage is available, likely near you as well, for $12.99.

Check images of him out below, and make sure to head to our Sightings Database if you come across this or any other recently released Transformers toys. Happy hunting!

I found some Rescue Bots Playschool Heroes stuff for cheap at Ross.

The figure of High Tide is missing from the box in that first pic.

A classic for this kind of stores. At my local Winners, we just can't have a Power Ranger Super Charge zord with his battery. It's always stolen.

I am pleased to discover the jet mode Bumblebee can do something very unusual for a Rescuebot toy - He can raise his arms.

Where has that white coloured Gorilla Rescue Minicon got too - and was he the only new one ?

Spotted him at a Target the other day.

Is his alt mode a snow blower ?

Dinobot Blades can too.

Got the Flip Racer Bumblebee Garage but Optimus and Hoist are too tall to be launched from it.

He's just in disguise. That's why you can't see him.

Those flip-racers are ADORABLE!

Make me think about improved botshots. I may get some.
Still, what's up with Optimus's barf-green rims?

Sorry, but "improved" isn't the word you're looking for. Think RotF Gravity Bots that don't work properly and do less.

Fellow Seibertronian and Twincast Podcast host Scotty P found the second wave of Rescue Bot Flip Racers today at Toysrus in North Carolina.

ScottyP wrote:Found Blurr at TRU in Cary, NC. Didn't have Sideswipe or Chase, but they're in the same case so they are also out, just sold out at this particular store already.

For those wondering if these are worth it, here is a short description found on our boards:

Via online store Entertainment Earth, we have a new image of the persisting Transformers toyline for Rescue Bots, part of the Playskool Heroes monicker and the Megabots subline for the characters themselves. The character of Boulder has a new iteration in the third wave of the line, with Quick Dig Boulder joining Copter Crane Blades and Night Rescue Heatwave. Check out the image and product description below for the wave hitting retailers this December!

As most Transformers fans know, Rescue Bots is Hasbro's line of Transformer toys and media meant for the preschool/kindergarten crowd- in the case of the toys, it meant simple (and in most cases, automorph) style transformations. While the cartoon ended last year, the toyline is still going on, as evidenced by the latest sightings, from Seibertron's very own ScottyP and ScottimusPrime; the latter of whom who has sent us the photographic evidence below. ScottimusPrime sent us his sighting from a Walmart in East Setauket, New York, and ScottyP sent us his sighting from a ToysЯUs in Cary, North Carolina. This would suggest that most regular big-box retailers will be carrying this particular wave. If you're a Rescue Bots fan, but don't plan on hunting for these, at least one of our sponsors, Big Bad Toy Store, has them up for preorder.

If you have any sightings of new figures, please let us know with a quick email to news@seibertron.com, with a photo of said sighting attached. Thanks to ScottyP and ScottimusPrime for the heads up!

Interestingly, I didn't notice this until after it was posted, but that Optimus figure in this wave looks very Hot Spot-ish, deco-wise.

My son grew up on the Rescue Bots. I hope when he gets older, there will be Generations versions of Heatwave, Blades (Protectobot Blades probably doesn't count), Chase, and Boulder.

Same here!

This one comes as a bit of a surprise! Boss-bot Seibertron himself has found (in Rolling Meadows, IL) a single-packed toy of Chase the Police-Bot, hailing from Rescue Bots Rescan line, that hasn't been seen before - at least, not on his own. This figure has seen retail release before, but only as part of the larger Capture Claw Chase set. The fact that he is now making an appearance on his lonesome - with very little fanfare, to boot - is quite the point of interest. Figures that were previously part of a larger toy don't often see later release without their sizable accompaniments, so this is quite the rare phenomenon on that count!

Have you seen this minor anomaly of a toy in the wild? If you have, let us know below, and in the sightings section too! And if you've seen his larger Capture Claw counterpart, feel free to add your find that to its own sightings page as well. And as always, stay tuned for more Transformers news - big or small - from Seibertron.com!
