Site sponsor BigBadToyStore has posted new images of the upcoming Transformers: Rescue Bots Rescan Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Figures. Both characters are jumping on the dinosaur bandwagon with new dino alt modes! Check 'em out below:

OP's right dino hand makes it look as though the T-Rex is drooling.

Dino-Bumblebee looks cute enough, but why does he have chest windows when he's a dinosaur?

These new rescue bots are junk. I saw two at Walmart the other day. The quality is embarrassing and they are about scout size. No parent who liked the beat 'em up quality of the original rescue bots are going to buy these flaky things. I am surprised they didn't snap in two when I handled them.......

It does, it looks like a tired old man.
Bumblebee's dino-mode looks like he's surprised about the whole situation. "What, I'm a dinosaur now?"

Interesting, how Prime uses the same transformation as BW Megatron, while BB uses the same as Classics Grimlock.

So now we have "Rescue Dinobots" ??? After they rescue the kitten from the tree they can gobble him up.

OP has a cool bot mode, but ugly alt/dino mode.

BB has a cool alt/dino mode, but an ugly bot mode.

I like the Beast Wars Megatron look

you're clearly not a palaeontologist

Season 3 of the cartoon is gonna be...

Gaburincho! Vamola mucho!

BB is a derpasauras

I want to find an extra Classics Grimlock and paint him yellow all of a sudden.

"Now me, Bumblebee, also kick butt and bite chunk off at same time!"

Just a few years back, it seemed like too many characters were becoming Wreckers. Now Rescue Bots starts a similar trend of turning established characters into Dinobots. Huh.

Dude... You Rock!!

You do realize that the number of us on here that actually get that reference due to first hand experience could probably be counted on two hands with fingers to spare, right?

To be fair, I only know Jimmie Walker from that awful movie The Guyver (which spawned the awesome Guyver: Dark Hero sequel film).

I think I'm going to go vomit now...

Wait a sec. Isn't this supposed to be "Optimus Primal"? Why'd BBTS list it as "Prime"?

Yes, I know it's the same guy, but Toy Fair told us Prime would be renamed "Primal" for this T-Rex form.

Oh god. What did the fandom do to deserve this? The plastic used in these would have been better employed in toothpicks or tupperware containers or something!

ANOTHER BUMBLEBEE! FFS! HOW MANY ARE THERE NOW?

How long will it be before there are more bumblebee toys on earth than there actually are bumblebees?

These are children's toys, not fanservice.

Dinosaurs are always fanservice.

Here on Seibertron.com we posted news all the way back during the UK Toy Fair, which was then confirmed by official images, about the Rescue Bots characters getting a dino make-over. We've seen Optimus Prime in T-Rex mode, and a raptor Bumblebee, but check out, courtesy once more of Facebook page Transformers Colombia, Rescue Dinos Chase the Stegosaurus and Boulder the Triceratops!

OMG more simplified kiddie crap!

these are pretty cute looking. Like the blue one especially. Greenie is kinda like Dino-Hoist.

Really digging these dino alt modes.
Thought I was done with these guys but i am going to have to keep my eyes open for these.

So Prowl turns into a Stego and Bulkhead turns into Tricera? Blasphemy!
