SDCC 2017: Preview Night Transformers Rescue Bots Display with 2017 Toys #HasbroSDCC

The Transformers: Rescue Bots line is not always updated with the same rigor as other more collector oriented lines and he US is even sometimes quite late to get new product. So for those who do enjoy this line and did not know yet, we have a roundup of the latest Rescue Bots toys you an now find at retail.

Knight Watch Bumblebee (a set of 3 dragons) took its sweet time appearing at retail but you can get it now for $25. There are also Hoist, Medix, Optimus, and Heatwave flip changers. Also, since we have been getting sightings lately, we just wanted to let you know that the Rescue Bots Arctic Rescue Boulder and Bumblebee Rock Rescue Team have been in the US for a while now as well as the latest wave of single figures which includes a Heatwave that turns into a two headed dragon.

The pictures below come from a Toysrus in Westland, Michigan.

I wanted to buy that Bumblebee, and maybe one of the flip changers which are kind of cool, but my boys and I were on a mission. If there had been any other newer movie TFs, I might have picked up one of those, but there weren't. Seems mine is the only TRU that did not reset. No leaders, no voyagers wave 2, no new deluxes, no Trypticon, but it did have one more CHAOS on Velocitron set. I wanted to buy it for some reason, but didn't (already have 1).

Picked up the blue/Night Watch Optimus Primal for my son. We never had the original red one. I feel like it's going to break during transformation because of a loud click. :/

I think we have the original here. I'll have to check to see if it makes a loud click or not. I think I remember several of the Rescue bots making a very clear, audible click when transforming. Made me nervous too.

Spotted three at Kmart Tuesday.



$26.99, but 15% off for the time being makes for a good price. Kinda want it, might go back and get it.

Also spotted that dragon Heatwave at Walmart.

Same boat. Like it enough to buy, but must wait for a lesser price. 15% off is good, but with sales tax negligible. Good spot though.

Scottimus Prime has found these Transformers Rescue Bots Flip Change Race Tracks at a Target store in South Setauket, Long Island NY. He has included a picture of them below. They appear to be sold for 59.99 in store.

Also in Rescue Bots news, we have a look at the logo for the upcoming show Rescue Bots Academy.

Seibertronian staffer ScottyP has spotted two new Rescue Bots figures we first briefly saw at Toy Fair 2017, over on the Hasbro Transformers website! The two are a blue version of Optimus Prime doing his best impersonation of Homer Simpson as Mr Plow for his alt-mode, and a blue stegosaurus version of Chase, now the Dino Protector - check out the official stock images below, and click to take a look at the listings too.

Imagine helping Optimus Prime save the day! As a fierce truck, Optimus Prime is ready to roll to the rescue.

Unaware? These were at Toy Fair.

Well, that shows me. Thanks, completely missed them!

That Optimus at Toy Fair was gray, though. People thought it might be a MorBot.

The blue coloration we see here is definitely newsworthy.

Though, now that we see the figure up close, yeah, dragons is right. The snowplow from the Boulder version of the mold has been retooled into a new truck bumper for Optimus.

I really hope they do the rest! It'd be nice to have them in scale with dino Optimus.

Especially if they all turn out this nicely. Chase looks great, a vast improvement over the tiny version they originally made.

True but check out the box.

Our regular source of sightings Scottimus Prime has sent us a notification of some further Transformers: Rescue Bots toys from the Flip Racers line - after the Race Track Optimus seen here - spotted at a Target store in Medford: Airport Blastoff Blades!

Check images of him out below, and make sure to head to our Sightings Database if you come across this or any other toys, and happy hunting!

I'd love to know why Hasbro thought "plane on giant wheels" was better than "helicopter on giant wheels".

We have seen some of these products before to give us an idea of the aesthetic but the breadth of the Playskool Friends Transfomers toy line was not fuly known yet. Well thanks to a Hasbro update to their site, we now have several new listings and official images. These toys are for the youngest Transformers fans, at 1 and a half years old and over. While they feature certain rescue bot characters, they also feature G1 based characters, like Arcee.
