Rescue Bots Sequioa Spotted at US Retail

Posted by WreckerJack Apr 7, 2017 at 9:21pm CDT 20,322 views
Our very own ScottyP brings us this sighting of Rescue Bots Sequoia. While this figure has been seen online for some time this is one of the first sightings at a brick and mortar store. This is good for those who may not want to pay shipping for one small figure. The picture below was taken at ToysRus in Cary, North Carolina.

I'm going to guess it's a new alt mode Optimus Prime considering he's between two other guys with new alt modes and is blue in back and red in front (with silver armor).

The mould is the same mould as Boulder (the one that comes with Graham in a furry hood parka) I get a strong Morebot vibe from the colours though myself.

They could have potentially come up with a story to say it's a reformatted scrapbot too I guess.

I'd agree that it looks like Prime as some kind of snow plow. Though the plow part is looking kinda flat. An armored truck seems too "combat orientated" for Rescue Bots so I don't think it's going to be used for ramming anything.

looking at the details it seems to be a slight remould of Boulder's snowplow mode.

But some of the surface details are different - like the shape of the bumper/blade and sides of the legs for example.

Those gas tanks on the side of the legs are slightly suggestive of Optimus Prime though I still think it looks rather like a new kind of Morebot.

It also has wheels instead of treads. Wouldn't it be strange to give a MorBot Prime's colors when normally they're silver and purple?

There's not that much purple in the color scheme of a normal MorBot:

The MorBot 2.0 had more purple on it, but that one was based on a preexisting toy that used more purple than the normal MorBots did.

Have you been eyeing the new Rescue Bots Brushfire figure and aren't quite sure whether it would fit in your collection? Well, we might have the perfect thing for you, thanks to Scottimus Prime and his Toy Hunter Productions! Check out his video review of the figure below, and tell us if it changed your opinion of the figure!

I'm digging the orange on the figure.

I got one already - I hope the rescue Minicons get discounted soon too - as Those look flipping adorable and long-term useful too.

Sequoia looks like a great complement to Brushfire.

Sequoia is meant for Brushfire, but my kids use him with the original Rescue Bots Medix.

I just bought a Boulder - Dump Truck and I notice he has Black Wheels but all the images I see online he has green wheels.

Is there a variation or did they change the wheels either before release or as a running change ?

Just wondering.

Via fellow Seibertronian and database updater ScottyP, we have stock images (courtesy of Walmart) for two new Transformers: Rescue Bots Bumblebee figures! One looks very much like the jet-based design seen at Toy Fair NY 2017 (check out the gallery here), while the other is a BumbleRaptor called Night Raptor. They will be joining a repaint of the Optimus Prime T-Rex figure, and a new Heatwave dragon (also seen at Toy Fair) for an upcoming wave - check them out below!

If you come across any of these, or indeed other toys, make sure to use out Sightings Database tool to help out fellow collectors, and happy hunting!

both Prime and Bee had Grimlock envy?

Heh, Bumblebee's an MCU Quinjet!

I'm a tiny bit disappointed Heatwave is the Dragon I was hopping it would be Twinferno.

In other news at carboot sale this long week end I got a Giant Titanmaster Prime Bee then I got a slightly smaller but still huge Blades Titan and then I got Aerobot - so that was a young-slanted series of finds - and I got loads more besides.

OMG You're right! I want more out of this now! Maybe not Bee, but I would love a modern Marvel Crossover.

But we saw at Toy Fair that the dragon only has one head.

You must be thinking of something else.

He's a doubleheader just like in the picture from the news.
