Poor guy always seems to get the short end of the stick. Even in the show itself, he got basically no screen time compared to Blurr, Quickshadow, or even High Tide.

The new Transformers: Rescue Bots "blind bags" are out and while they are non transforming, they did have the semblance of a gimmick. Now, thanks to netkid, who posted in hand images on the TFW boards, we have a good look at the arm swapping gimmick this set promotes.
The assortment includes 2 of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Heatwave, Blades, Chase, Boulder, Blurr, and Quickshadow. The arms seem to be interchangeable between the two models. These blind bags are $2.88 in the US and $4.94 in Canada.
I have both Primes and Blades(I haven't opened him yet).
Boxes have 1 of each figure. Both figures of a character is the same design but each are in a uniquely sculpted pose, so swapping arms between them to get different poses/looks is encouraged.
Each bag has a small clear window to see what figure is inside, if you are looking for a particular one.

It's a letter opener. On weekends he volunteers at the local nursing home and reads the old folks their mail.

have to buy two of the same character just to swap arms rather than just have basic articulation and a removable weapon. meh.

I think you can swap arms across the line with different characters.

It looks like if you made a nice straight and clean cut in the middle of that "arm bar" you would end up with a pair of slightly more pose-able arms, and have more arm mixing options. Which might lead to some fun/interesting combinations.

Thanks to Entertainment Earth, we have news that a new 4-pack of Rescue Bots that include new, more show accurate paint schemes are now available through their site! These figures are larger versions of the original Rescue Bots toys, and include the 4 original show characters, Heatwave, Boulder, Chase, and Blades. The figures feature new paint schemes meant to more closely resemble the show, and also include the weapons that came with the first round of "Energize" figures, though instead of translucent blue they are cast in a silver/gray color.
You can check out in-hand in-package images of the figures below, courtesy of site owner Seibertron, and let us know what you think of these new Rescue Bots below!

Looks like they retooled Blade's chest to remove the sculpted symbol, and strangely the original Boulder is the more accurate one.

They're still not great. If you want a show-accurate set, then I recommend going for the 4-pack (Griffin Rock Rescue Team set). We got those for my young boy and they look heaps better than these.

The Rescue Bots line keeps trucking along to make sure there are some Transformers goodies for any preschooler venturing down the toy aisle. When it comes to the Transformers Rescue Bots Mini-Cons, we are now at wave 7. It is mostly repacks of previous waves but we do have a new figure too, that being a green redeco of Drake (the dragon Target Master, not the rapper). This is the case contents:
2x TRA RBT HEATWAVE THE RESCUE DINOBOT
2x TRA RBT DRAKE THE DRAGON BOT
2x TRA RBT CHASE THE RESCUE DINOBOT
This was revealed through a listing on Entertainment Earth and wll be coming out next month. Thanks to Scotty P for letting us know.

They probably didn’t retool that Dinobot Heatwave. It’s very easy to break.
