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. :lol:

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 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.

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). :oops:

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?

Dinosaurs are always fanservice. =P~

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! :lol:

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! 8-}

These figures look like they have more transformation steps then most of the movie line
Alteast comparing to the figures we got in the netherlands

They're so tiny. Why are they so tiny now? The vehicle figures were huge compared to these. Why are the dino toys so much smaller now?

Once again credit goes to our friends at the Transformers Columbia Facebook page who have revealed Transformers: Rescue Bots Rescan Boulder and Chase! These two appear to be Rescan Series 3, each has a new vehicle mode, Boulder a dump truck and Chase a police SUV. Take a look at the new official images mirrored below:

This...this is more reasonable than the Autobots transforming into dinosaurs. Apparently, Dinobots were the theme of Transformers this year. I thought Age of Extinction Dinobots was enough.

Boulder looks really bad. So under-detailed and awkward.

Posted by Wolfman Jake on July 30th, 2014 @ 10:29pm CDT

Boulder desperately needed black tires, you know, like it shows in the picture on the front of the box. Geez, Hasbro. That's probably the worst cost cutting move I've seen in a long time on Transformers toys. Even children know tires aren't green.

Well, on the upside, this makes it easier to repurpose someone as CHase now...

Too bad he's such a huge figure, the scale goes completely out of whack.

Posted by Sabrblade on July 30th, 2014 @ 11:11pm CDT

Guess these came too late to be put into the show, but then that does make Heatwave's boat mode more special since it was meant to be a special thing as part of his advancement in leadership, undergoing physical/mental/spiritual training to prepare for his acquiring a third mode.

Re: New Images of Transformers: Rescue Bots Rescan Series 2 Optimus Prime & Bumblebee (1595322)
Posted by rpetras on July 31st, 2014 @ 9:22am CDT

Four more rescans and Boulder can be ALL the constructicons!

But, yes, those green wheels make him look like a dollar store KO, not a first run product.

I don't like the new scale on these guys either.
Not matching up with the others is lame.

Hmm... not bad figures.
