Hey Seibertronians! A bit of Rescue Bots news for you tonight. We saw it at Comic Con, we saw it online, but for some reason no one had seen the Rescue Bots Griffin Rock Fire House Playset at a brick and mortar store!. But wait no longer! It's been spotted by Yours truly at the Council Tree Target in Fort Collins, Colorado. Check it out below!
What are your thoughts on this plays at? Does that cool spacebridge sway your opinion one way or another? Have you already seems this at retail? Let us know below!

The Fire House is in the new UK Argos catalogue and a few other UK online listings too. but as it costs £50.00 i'll wait for a sale since the boat got reduced to £15.00 I'll wait a bit.
I'm very disappointed that the large Playsets do not come with more articulated figures and and Transforming pet-figure just to make them more appealing.
I think adding articulation is a good reason to make people buy the characters again. and the lack of joints does limit them a bit compared to the previous (pre-cartoon) stuff

Fellow Seibertronian Scottimus sends us a sighting notification from the fine city of Centereach, Long Island, and its Walmart store - featuring the Transformers Playskool adventure playset Rescue Bots Starter Pack (Griffin Rock Rescue Team), with two-step converting Blades, Heatwave, Chase and Boulder! Check out photo proof below, and make sure to use our Sightings database and boards to help out other fans across the community, too.

Does anyone remember one of the toy shows they showed a reissue of the previous larger Rescue bots (not the smaller ones) I remember noticing as it was the 1st time there had been chase that size with the blue colouring that didn't have the clear pieces as well.
Did they ever get released at retail. ?
Though i'd ask as this boxed set reminded me.
-----------
As for the above set if they are just repacks it's likely cheaper to buy the Rescue bots in the two for £15.00 deals for a UKSTER

They were spotted in Asia, but nowhere else as far as I can tell.

Has anyone tried using the Old Rescue Bots playsets with the new ones - for example The Griffon Rock Firestation set with the Optimus Prime Fire Station set ?

Via Twincast podcaster ScottyP we also have news of unseen until now products from the Transformers: Rescue Bots line - spotted over on Entertainment Earth - including Swift the Cheetahbot and a bear Minibot called Sequoia, an unknown new Rescue Bot named Brushfire, and a Megabot Copter Crane Blades. Check out images below!

Oh man! Such a missed opportunity to finally give Blades a toy of his scoop claw.

Can't wait to see what Brushfire looks like. I wonder if he'll debut in Season 5.

It just hit me. The gray and red color scheme of the Megabot Optimus reminds me of his upgraded form from the season 1 finale/season 2 of RID 2015.
