Thanks to Twincast Podcast host Scotty P, we now know that the latest Transformers Rescue Bots products are now available online. These are the Flip Racer teams which should be making their way to retail stores shortly. Each team has 3 members and like the G1 Jumpstarters, the gimmick is that they flip into robot mode as they roll. If any mom or dad who grew up with the Jumpstarters Top Spin and Twin Twist want to recreate that G1 moment with their kids, this is the perfect opportunity. You can get these on Amazon.

Rescue Bots Flip Racers Griffin Rock Construction Team

Rescue Bots Flip Racers Griffin Rock Racing Team

Here are the product summaries of each team along with images of each team below:

Strong and tough, the Rescue Bots Flip Racers Griffin Rock Construction Team paves the way to the rescue! Sized right for little hands, 3 awesome Flip Racers figures--Boulder the Construction-Bot, Mortar, and Salvage—convert from vehicle mode to bot mode 1 easy step! Flip up each figure to convert it to bot mode. Flip them back down to convert the Boulder the Construction-Bot figure into a bulldozer vehicle, Mortar figure into a cement mixer vehicle, and Salvage figure into a garbage truck vehicle. Smooth-rolling wheels help little heroes pretend to roll them to the scene of a rescue in a hurry!

Sleek and speedy, the Rescue Bots Flip Racers Griffin Rock Racing Team zips and zooms to the rescue! Sized right for little hands, 3 awesome Flip Racers figures--Chase the Police-Bot, Blurr, and Sideswipe--convert from vehicle mode to bot mode in 1 easy step! Flip up each figure to convert it to bot mode. Flip them back down to convert the Chase the Police-Bot figure into a police car vehicle and Blurr and Sideswipe figures into race car vehicles. Smooth-rolling wheels help little heroes pretend to race them to the scene of a rescue in a hurry!

A police car coming with two fast cars just gives me the mental image of him pulling the racers over for speeding.

Directly from the floor at San Diego Comic Con 2017, site owner Seibertron is providing us images of the display area at the Hasbro booth where they had a nice display of Transformers Rescue Bots toys. What we can see for now are all previously revealed toys such as Optimus Prime Racing Track Trailer, Flip Racers Multipacks (which just became available for ordering), Knight Watch Bumblebeen, race track playsets. We have images of the display below and you can reach the full gallery of said display by clicking any image.

These are only the initial images, of course, expect the full Seibertron.com treatment as the event continues with actual reveals across the weekend, with the Hasbro Breakfast Press event Thursday morning, panel coverage on Friday and Saturday, and follow-ups with official images and more!

The Transformers: Rescue Bots line is not always updated with the same rigor as other more collector oriented lines and he US is even sometimes quite late to get new product. So for those who do enjoy this line and did not know yet, we have a roundup of the latest Rescue Bots toys you an now find at retail.

Knight Watch Bumblebee (a set of 3 dragons) took its sweet time appearing at retail but you can get it now for $25. There are also Hoist, Medix, Optimus, and Heatwave flip changers. Also, since we have been getting sightings lately, we just wanted to let you know that the Rescue Bots Arctic Rescue Boulder and Bumblebee Rock Rescue Team have been in the US for a while now as well as the latest wave of single figures which includes a Heatwave that turns into a two headed dragon.

The pictures below come from a Toysrus in Westland, Michigan.

I wanted to buy that Bumblebee, and maybe one of the flip changers which are kind of cool, but my boys and I were on a mission. If there had been any other newer movie TFs, I might have picked up one of those, but there weren't. Seems mine is the only TRU that did not reset. No leaders, no voyagers wave 2, no new deluxes, no Trypticon, but it did have one more CHAOS on Velocitron set. I wanted to buy it for some reason, but didn't (already have 1).

Picked up the blue/Night Watch Optimus Primal for my son. We never had the original red one. I feel like it's going to break during transformation because of a loud click. :/

I think we have the original here. I'll have to check to see if it makes a loud click or not. I think I remember several of the Rescue bots making a very clear, audible click when transforming. Made me nervous too.

Spotted three at Kmart Tuesday.

$26.99, but 15% off for the time being makes for a good price. Kinda want it, might go back and get it.

Also spotted that dragon Heatwave at Walmart.

Same boat. Like it enough to buy, but must wait for a lesser price. 15% off is good, but with sales tax negligible. Good spot though.

Scottimus Prime has found these Transformers Rescue Bots Flip Change Race Tracks at a Target store in South Setauket, Long Island NY. He has included a picture of them below. They appear to be sold for 59.99 in store.

Also in Rescue Bots news, we have a look at the logo for the upcoming show Rescue Bots Academy.

Seibertronian staffer ScottyP has spotted two new Rescue Bots figures we first briefly saw at Toy Fair 2017, over on the Hasbro Transformers website!

Ooh, are we getting bigger sized transforming figures of the Rescue Dinobots? Neat.

Well, that shows me. Thanks, completely missed them!

That Optimus at Toy Fair was gray, though. People thought it might be a MorBot.

The blue coloration we see here is definitely newsworthy.

Though, now that we see the figure up close, yeah, dragons is right. The snowplow from the Boulder version of the mold has been retooled into a new truck bumper for Optimus.

I really hope they do the rest! It'd be nice to have them in scale with dino Optimus.

Especially if they all turn out this nicely. Chase looks great, a vast improvement over the tiny version they originally made.

True but check out the box.

Our regular source of sightings Scottimus Prime has sent us a notification of some further Transformers: Rescue Bots toys from the Flip Racers line - after the Race Track Optimus seen here - spotted at a Target store in Medford: Airport Blastoff Blades!

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

I'd love to know why Hasbro thought "plane on giant wheels" was better than "helicopter on giant wheels".
