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

The toys are both retailing for $19.99 Canadian dollars and $14.99 USD and they come with an accessory for the character to crash into, triggering another play feature. Like other Rescue Bot toys, these are aimed at a young audience, so the figures do not have any points of articulation and simple transformation.

Pull back the Heatwave the Fire-Bot vehicle until the wheels click and then release it to send it racing off! For even more fun, try sending Heatwave the Fire-Bot crashing into the fire hydrant accessory to launch the manhole cover and imagine putting out a fire! Convert from vehicle mode to bot mode in 1 easy step! Flip up the Heatwave the Fire-Bot vehicle to convert it to bot mode. Flip it back down to convert it into a firetruck. Robots and humans saving the day, working together the Rescue Bots way!

Yes! This is exactly how you do that! Blowing the manhole cover is absolutely essential to the whole operation! Psst... just uh... need a small reminder on how that exactly works, thanks.

Rolling to the scene of the rescue! Yes! Whenever there is a rescue, rolling barrels provide the needed help to get the job done! It doesn't even matter what type of rescue (water, fire, storm, etc.), having barrels to roll will always prove to be a necessary part of ANY rescue. That trailer wasn't carrying waste materials, right?

having fun is the most important thing. Hazard and danger are the least of our concern.

In other Rescue Bots Academy news we have a new Optimus with Trailer. And this trailer has a launch feature where you can place a flip racer upright (in robot mode) and then launch them in vehicle mode. This is the first time we were made aware of the product, thanks to a listing on Entertainment Earth. The toy is priced at $20.99 and is set for release in Janruary.

They're all redecos. Whirl of VTOL jet Bumblebee (her Megabots size figure is effectively an upsized version of Rescan helicopter Blades), Wedge of Salvage (Wedge's first toy was a redeco of Arctic Boulder), Hot Shot of Rock Rescue (ATV) Bumblebee (his first toy was effectively an upsized version of the same Bumblebee, while his second figure was a remold of VTOL jet Bumblebee), and Hoist is a redeco of.... Hoist - the Rescan series figure from the original Rescue Bots.
Meanwhile, hovercraft Hot Shot appears to be a remold of fireboat Heatwave, the Megabots sized Medix is functionally an upsized Rescan car mode Bumblebee. That blue redeco of racecar Heatwave -- is that Chase or Whirl? And like Hoist, ambulance Medix ia a redeco of RB Medix. The large size Wedge looks like it might be essentially an upsized Rescan bulldozer Boulder.

There's also a new Whirl race car figure in the same class alongside Brushfire, Heatwave, Bumblebee, and Chase. Plus there's new stock images of the Academy Rescue Team box set shown at Toy Fair. So what do you think of the new Grimlock trading in his bot mode for a motorcycle? Sound off in the Energon Pub forums below!

I'm a little surprised this isn't green already since this is most definitely RID Grimlock and not the less kid friendly other Aligned Grimlock. I guess he's in his "Gold Armor" mode.

What makes you so sure this is RID Grimlock? Cyberverse has a kid friendly grimlock at the moment.

Because RID and Rescue Bots are part of the same continuity and Cyberverse isn't. Aligned continuity is a strange animal.

And now I'm worried that they'll make Aligned continuity even more confusing by having Grimlock show up in the RBA cartoon acting like Cyberverse Grimock rather than RiD Grimlock.

I am surprised we are still considering the alligned continuity a thing. I dont think hasbro does. And in any case, isn't this also Alligned Grimlock?
He ends up having the same colour scheme as this bike. All I mean is at this point, I dont think that continuity means anything so that grimlock is basically just rescue bots grimlock taking some G1 cues.
Posted by Sabrblade on May 11th, 2019 @ 12:23am CDT
As far as anyone official still treating Aligned as a thing, Nicole Dubuc at least still does.

1. The Rescue Bots Academy designs are starting to rival the Robot Heroes figures in terms of TF cuteness.
2. I love the diagram on the front of the packaging showing the vehicle being flipped into robot mode by way of a delicately extended index finger, as if that's the "proper" way to do it.
