Transformers Rescue Bots Elite Rescue Heatwave showed up a few days ago on HasbroToyShop.com and was found at retail earlier tonight at Target in Rosemont, IL by Seibertron himself.

He gave us some in hand images which include our first look at Elite Rescue Salvage, found on the back of the card.

As you can see from the comparison shot, these seem to be upscaled versions of the first year figures such as Heatwave the Fire-Bot with new alt modes and a slightly more complex transformation.

Remember how we shared the news of the Platinum Edition Reissue of the G1 Insecticons?
Remember how we shared their first official sighting in the Philippines?
Well, we're bringing you big news again...

Platinum Reissue Insecticons have been sighted at US retail, and at... K-Mart?! Yes, K-Mart!

Normally Toys R Us would have this one in the bag, since reissues have been their forte for quite some time, but in an amazing first, K-Mart is the newest retailer to be carrying the reissues of the Insecticons. Boasting all new packaging that's keeping in style with the Combiner Wars line, featuring gorgeous new artwork and collectible Energon cubes to sweeten the deal!

They were found by fellow fan and collector, Rob Ware, and since the Facebook group Plastic Crack Fiends is closed to the public, we've mirrored his sighting, below:



Their price is confirmed at $79.99, making this one of the most expensive domestic reissues, yet, and most certainly one of the most expensive reissues of the Insecticons.

Here are the full images of his find:





Remember, if you have a sighting to share with us, send it to sightings@seibertron.com and remember to share your finds in the sightings forum, which you can find here.

Before you go hunting them down, check out our high res galleries of the Insecticons, to tide you over until they're in hand.
