When we revealed the upcoming Rescue Bots products coming our way, many thought it would be smart to rerelease the small Rescue Bots dino figures as Dinobot redecos. It works well since the main Rescue Bot characters had been given the same alt modes as the G1 Dinobots. So now we have Snarl, Sludge, Slug and Swoop to join Grimlock who was already part of Rescue Bots. These are older molds but they are perfect for younger kids. Each transforms quickly but satisfyingly for kids and each has a fun action feature, like Swoop flapping his wings. These are a great way to give your young kids some G1 Dinobots that they can play with and have fun with, I know my 3 year old loves them. We also have more stock images for the other upcoming toys part of this Dinobots Adventures subline.

These images come from Autobase Aichi.

They really should have saved one of those Optimus repaints/repacks for Grimlock. It's weird that they all turn into bots except for him. Or better yet, make a new one.

Again, I don't think the target audience are going to give a flying monkey. These are meant for young children...not us. Besides which, I think I might see why there isn't a grimlock OK his own (unless he's getting a new toy that isn't ready for release yet) look at Bumblebee's trex mode and it's colours...don't they look familiar? Hasbro won't want too similar looking toys on the shelf, especially the same alt mode. Now you might ask, but why bee over Grimlock I hear you ask? Because kids love Bumblebee, it's that simple.

I think its because there's already grimlock in the RB line. And Grimlock, so far, does not transform into a humanoid robot at any time.

Yeah, he is one of the mentors in Rescue Bots academy, so he even has character centric episodes. And he remains a t-rex at all times. And he is his G1 lookinng self in that mode. So that's why he is not a redeco of a toy that was previously another character, like the other toys, at least it's what I reckon.

Hasbro simply wanted the Dinobot in the show to be Grimlock, even though he was originally conceived by the showrunners to be a brand new red Stegosaurus character. But with AOE out at the time, Hasbro wanted to capitalize on that movie's release by having the big name recognition of Dinobot T-Rex Grimlock spread across the board and requested the RID 2015 showrunners change their new Dinobot character into a new Grimlock.

This Grimlock then became the one seen in RBA despite the obvious G1-based redesign he was given as part of the brand's new implementation of evergreen designs.

Well that didn't take long. We just learnt of brand new Rescue Bots products coming out way and the ones people were most excited about have been found at Canadian retail. These are part of the Dinobots Adventures subline and are redecos to turn previously released Resce Bot toys into G1 Snarl, Sludge, Slag and Swoop. Those were some of my kid's favourite toys and since he had misplaced some of the original releases (because he is 3) you can bet your bottom dollar we took some home with us. All four have a quick conversion and a simple but satisfying action gimmick in dino mode. Slag does require some shaving of the plastic to make the one step transformation easier to do. This specific sighting is from a Toysrus in Montreal Canada. Unlike other Rescue Bots toys, these were not in the Playskool section but rather the main Transformers section.

EDIT: I refer specifically to WFC Rodimus because that's what is in the attached picture. I do realize tjis is supposed to be a Rescue Bots thread

Griffin from Ozformers got the Optimus Prime Jumbo Jet Wing Racer toy and has taken mages of it. While it is not branded as a Rescue Bots toy, it is the same aesthetic and the plane mode further converts into a carrying tray for Rescue Bots figures. This toy was found in Australia about a month ago and has yet to show up in America.

It also comes with a simplified Bumblebee figure. Here is the product description:

Little heroes can imagine going on daring missions with one of their favorite TRANSFORMERS characters! The 15-inch OPTIMUS PRIME figure converts from jet mode to Jumbo Jet Wing Racer mode in just a few simple steps, perfect for little heroes. Jet mode features spinning propellers, rolling wheels and can store up to 4 figures in vehicle mode. With the playset in bot mode, kids can push figures up the OPTIMUS PRIME figure’s jet wings, then release to watch them race towards the finish line! The figure also comes with a 4.5-inch BUMBLEBEE figure that features simple 1-step conversion from robot to racecar mode.

There are toys so stupid it's awesome, and there are toys just plane plain stupid. This is the latter, and I'm not looking it from a collector point of view.

Easy play pattern improvements. Propellers should be jet engines befitting a jumbo JET and add voice chips w/ OP classic/RescueBots phrases, jet engines swoosh noises, transforming sound, etc. Make the ramp spring loaded so pressing a button can launch the cars out of the ramps so the "RACER" part in the name makes sense (I think the yellow piece on the wings work with gravity in OP bot mode only, realease it and the car slide down the ramp vertically. But they do nothing in jumbo jet mode?). Simple changes that add a buck or two to the cost but make kids, parent & TF fans alike super happy and get a ton more sales because it's a better toy. Is that too hard?

I-it’s basically a glorified box... At least give it an action feature, like spring loaded car launchers, or lights and sounds. Anything to up the play value.

Wings convert to Racetracks is not enough of a play feature? :lol:

They also have a release mechanism for the cars so they can speed down the wing ramps .

"Articulation" who needs articulation when your wings can be racetracks. :-D

WHY A PLANE? It's just doesn't make any sense. This concept would be just perfect for a huge cargo ship. But noooooooooo, sea ships are uncool. Better have a jumbo jet with CAR CARRIERS as wings. :HEADHURTS:

The plane mode looks like a hot mess. Most kids will want to pick that up and go "neeeeyyooooow!" with it, but won't be able to, due to the size. They should have made into a base, massive lorry, or ship, do kids could push it around in the ground/keep it stationary.

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, and toy reviewer, Chuckdawg1999, we now have video reviews of the recently re-released Transformers Rescue Bots toys (now under a Dinobot Adventures branding). These figures are all ones that have been seen on store shelves before but are perfect for those little fans who might have missed out on them the first time.

Let's see what Chuck has to say:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Rescue Bots are fun Transformers with simpler transformations that are made for smaller hands. The Dinobot Adventures version of Bumblebee with his partner Lance is a fun set that will charm fans both young and old.

And:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Now, these are squad goals I can get behind! Continuing our look at the Dinobot Adventures subline of Rescue Bots is the Dinobot Squad pack of Grimlock, Snarl, and Predaking; one of these things is definitely not like the other. All three feature simple transformations and static posing but Predaking is the stand-out with articulated dragon heads. Definitely worth a look for younger fans.

Stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

There is that big mind-boggling Optimus plane whose wings are inexplicably car carrier trailers.

Then there'e that huge Optimus base playset where smaller bots can fit inside like carrion devouring a corpse.

Finally there's that pretty big Optimus with a sizeable trailer that can carry many "deluxes". However, the only way to get that is through Ebay.

Same characters, but different molds. That playset with Optimus, his trailer, and his friends would make your child NUT! That's a great starting point for a young kid.

It looks like all the Optimuses with trailer you have shown are the exact same toys but in different releases. So go with the one available. ;)^

The Rescue Bots line is not something Hasbro would ever reveal outright since it doesn't concern collectors BUT we know there are completionists out there and this is indeed a great line to start off any young fan with so parents who are fans tend to want to know what product is out there. Well, we have 2 new products to share with you.

Firstly, a three pack of Bumblebees is stealth decos were found at Ross. Since it's at Ross, it means it was product destined for release a while back at another store (like Walmart or target) but that chose never to put these on shelves and instead just dump it at Ross. That would explain why it still has the older packaging. The sighting was posted here.

We also have a brand new product found in Canada at Toysrus. It's a bigger version of the monster truck Optimus Prime with different deco from the original smaller mold. We put an old stock pic of that initial figure for comparison. The sighting was posted here. We also have stock images from Ripley showing this new toy.

Smaller mold:

While the new subline for Rescue Bots this year is Dinobot themed, we still have remnants of Transformers Rescue Bots Academy hitting shelves randomly worldwide. One of those is this new Optimus Prime which turns into a Monster Truck Tow truck. He is big and durable, fun for any kid aged between 2 and 4 (3 being the ideal age for this more simplistic toy) and the tow gimmick works really well. It is unclear at which stores in the US he will show up at but if you are interested, here is a review.

Walmart.ca currently has the latest big Rescue Bots toy, Dinobot Adventures Optimus Prime T-Rex, for parents who want to get a big gift this Christmas for the youngest Transformers fans. This is a redeco of a previously released toy. It's basically a 9 inch Optimus Prime that turns into a T Rex in on step and has lights and sounds.

Here is the link if you wish to purchase it: https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/transforme ... 0203870015

Figure scale: 9+ inches
Ages 3 and up
The Dinobots are stomping, chomping, and roaring into action! Dinobot Adventures introduces little heroes to Grimlock and his Dinobot friends, plus favorite Autobot characters with re-imagined dinosaur alt modes!

Optimus Prime is ready to roar as a mighty T-Rex! Imagine saving the day with the Optimus Prime T-Rex figure, sized right for small hands. Kids ages 3 and up can enjoy twice the fun with 2 modes of play, converting the Optimus Prime T-Rex figure from Tyrannosaurus Rex to robot mode with the push of a button! The figure converts back to Tyrannosaurus Rex mode in 1 easy step. Press the button on the Optimus Prime T-Rex figure’s back to activate chomping action with exciting lights and sounds! Figure also features button-activated rescue drill that spins in both modes!

Also look for other Transformers Dinobot Adventures toys to assemble a team. (Each sold separately. Subject to availability.)
