They were actually announced during SDCC

If they were double Cody's current size, the 'bots would be in terrible scale. Cody needs to be smaller.

Maybe not "double", but still taller. I mean, he's a kid and they're all adult. I'd take them being at least a head taller, even.PrymeStriker wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Still wish the adults were twice taller than Cody, but I'll still keep an eye out for these.

PS... I'm brand new to the board. I'm a huge Transformers Prime and Transformers Animated fan and have recently gotten my 3 1/2 year old into TF. He's loving his Rescue Bots (along with his Marvel, Star Wars, and Imaginext toys)

Here's a review that should contain the answers you seek - http://www.eyrie.org/~dvandom/BW/123/RBBasic3RickWJ324 wrote:Hi All... First time poster here! I've been buying the Rescue Bots line for my son and just found out about these today. I'm sure I'll kick myself later, but I bought Optimus, Bee, Chase, and Heatweave on Ebay today. Can anyone confirm the scale of these guys? Are the humans the same size as the other humans made so far? The reason I ask is the humans in these packs look to be non-poseable and I'm wondering if they are smaller than the others figures. I can't wait to get these!
Hope this helps.

I'm still unable to find any of these locally (in Virginia). Hopefully they'll pop up soon. The set I bought off Ebay is for ME, but my son will like to have them soon as well!

And here's a pic of the smaller figures. I placed a Playskool Marvel Heroes Spider-man next to them. As you can see the non-poseable humans that come with the Transformers are 100% to scale with the poseable figures, but without the poseability:
Happy Holidays Everyone!!!!
