Single-Packed Rescue Bots Chase (Pick-Up Truck) Discovered at Retail

Hook and Ladder Heatwave is also a similar situation in that the Hook and Ladder Heatwave was released without his trailer but not individually. It's the same Heatwave from the Griffin Rock Rescue Team Set four-pack that also included the essentially re-releases of Rescan Blades, Boulder, and Chase.

I also saw the regular scale rescan of Chase as a stegosaurus.

I also saw this big honking thing and laughed.

First time poster. Enjoyed skimming through the thread. My little guy (3 years old) is obsessed with rescue bots.

Question: Anyone know when the new Salvage and Hightide will be available? And will they be the big Energize size?

My guy has the smaller Griffin Rock Rescue Team size (rescan size).

Talked to Hasbro via chat, they cancelled both of them.

"It looks as though the Playskool Heroes Transformers Rescue Bots Salvage, item #B7459 was cancelled and is not shipping. I do not have any indication that it will start shipping either, I'm very sorry.

They are part of the same assortment and the assortment was cancelled.

This is why we do not provide dates to consumers because the product can be dropped completely. It is a marketing decision."

A new Seibertronian, Card, did some investigative journalism for us in hope that he would get answers regarding when the new Rescue Bot transforming Salvage and Hightide would be available. His son is quite a fan of the toyline and as any good father would, he got to the bottom of it and shared us what he learnt.

He spoke to Hasbro via chat which confirmed their cancellation. Here is the quote from him and Hasbro:

Card wrote:Talked to Hasbro via chat, they cancelled both of them.

For those curious as to what exactly these toys are, we have images below. Both Salvage and High Tide are based on previous toys but changed to either be up-scaled or unhindered by a previous gimmick. They were going to be another Amazon exclusive "wave" at one point, which we never got. These toys never being released gave us the presumption that they were cancelled for the US market but now we know it as a fact. However, this does not mean that these toys were never found elsewhere globally since we were able to find some listings from Asia for the High Tide figure. You can also see an image of that completed listing below.

I have a very uncomfortable feeling that this is what's going to happen to the general retail release of Grotusque. Here's hoping I'm proven wrong.

Such a bummer. Salvage looks like he would have been fun to transform. But then again I don't know the technical end of it. Might have been costly or somehow flawed.

and the deluxe wave 4 and 5 of TR i have not seen perceptor the jumpstarters or misfire and slugslinger

Not sure if this is the right place to post deals but Artic Rescue Boulder is $ 9.97 on amazon.ca - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01KA6WY6G/?tag=seibertron0b-20&

$20 cheaper than Walmart.ca.

We ring in the new year with some brand new Rescue Bots toys listed on Entertainment Earth. For Starters we have a selection of Rescan figures for Wave 18. We have included an image below as well as the case distribution below.

There aren't any Decepticons around, so it's time for the Rescue Bots to save the day! Under the command of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, this crack squad of robots is here to help save the world, and to give kids a great, big, chunky transforming toy to play with. Figures each measure approximately 5-inches tall in robot form. Ages 3 to 7.

The case includes 6 individually packaged Transformers toys includes:

1x TRA RBT OPTIMUS PRIME TRAILER RESCAN

Next, we have Transformers Rescue Bots Epic Figures Wave 5. These appear to be non transforming figures for kids, but again we give you an image and the case distribution information to see for yourself.

Transformers Rescue Bots Epic Figures Wave 5:

Lastly, there is a figure entitled Transformers Rescue Bots Bumblebee Rescue Guard. Alas, there is no image yet for this figure. The only hints we are given are in the product description, so keep your optics open for when we find out more details!

Transformers Rescue Bots Bumblebee Rescue Guard:
Get ready for adventure with the Transformers Rescue Bots Bumblebee Rescue Guard! Playskool Heroes are the perfect toys for tiny hands, and Bumblebee is the perfect hero. This yellow autobot is ready to save the day - and is here to make playtime fun!

Heatwave as a race-car like Blurr? He won't be happy with that.

Whatever it takes to add to my heatwave shrine.

Probably a late addition to the Race Car sets

Also from regular Weibo source tf-factory this weekend, we have an image for a potentially new addition to the Transformers Rescue Bots toylines - or maybe even the new animated series being developed by Boulder Media, Rescue Bots Academy - in the form of Optimus Primal.

Except this time (as we have seen before in the series' depictions, and as a recurring theme for the cast) Optimus Primal is a red and blue Tyrannosaurus Rex. The big (dino)bot seems to be making a return with a different transformation pattern, looking at the panel lines in the image, and is bringing along two smaller dino figures as potential accessories for Optimus, and another figure: a blue wolf with a motorcycle alt-mode, which is apparently the same as Growl the K-9 Bot, previously released with the Griffin Rock Police Station. Check them all out below!

EDIT: The jaguar is in fact a panther, from the Marvel Black Panther toyline, and nothing to do with Transformers. Apologies for the misreporting.




NOT A TRANSFORMER

Little ones are going to have so much fun hitting each other with that dino!

That Jaguar thing is a Black Panther toy, is out at retail now. I saw a bumblebee of the same size class at Meijer the other night.

AAAnd to the edit! Thanks!

All I wanna know is if that Optimus transforms or not. Otherwise, I'm good with the previous big T-Rex Optimus Primal toy that they made before.

I would say that he does transform as there is detail on his underside that looks very robotish.

Interested to see what that Optimus Primal looks in robot mode.

I'd like to get Growl now that he doesn't have a whole playset attached.

Just a few figures

Speedster Boulder has been sighted in stores.

Hasbro's website has added a new Rescue Bots playset to their in stock listing based around the Rescue bot who then turns up in Robots in Disguise: Blurr! The set, titled the Flip Racers Blurr Reverse Raceway, is a set that features Blurr (clearly), with the main gimmick of the set being you run Blurr backwards down the track and he jumps off the end and lands in bot mode in front of a trophy. The set is listed for $19.99 and is in stock. You can check out the full description below.

At the end of the track watch as the figure launches off the ramp, auto-converting in mid-air to land in bot mode! The Blurr Reverse Raceway race track is compatible with other Playskool Heroes Transformers Rescue Bots Flip Racers figures. (Other figures each sold separately. Subject to availability.)

I hope Hot Shot becomes a more mainstream character, I think the relationship between him and Bumblebee could be fun.

That Hot Shot looks like an upscaled version of the Bumblebee from the Rock Rescue Team set.

At least TFP Hotshot had some different colors than Bee even though the only thing different about him is his head. I'd also argue that HotShot has better details than Bee did. But I am rambling.

Toy fair 2018 showed us that the Transformers: Rescue Bots line is alive and well and will continue for a while. We recieved several official images for waht was revealed at the event, along with products descriptions, but there were some toys that still lacked stock images. Like these new flip racers which includes what appears to be Optimus turning into a jet truck.



Below are the product images to go with the three pack which is currently available on Amazon.com for anyone who wants them.

While we have seen, and from various angles, pretty much all of the Transformers Rescue Bots figures back at New York Toy Fair 2018, we have news of the Optimus Prime dinosaur mode toy appearing on online retailer Hasbro Toy Shop, thanks to a tip from fellow Seibertronian Hellscream9999.

Officially called Knight Watch Optimus Prime, the toy is currently available in stock for purchase online. As staff has pointed out, with the closure of Toys R Us, several new sightings of lines such as Rescue Bots will indeed first appear online rather than in stores - but! if you come across any new item, make sure to flag it in the Sightings Database and drop a line in the regional Sightings section!

KVO Prime wrote:That red one looks more like an Anklyosaur, not a Stegosaurus

Yeah, that description is off.

Kinda like how that Power Core Combiners Grimstone toy was mislabeled as a Triceratops instead of the Styracosaurus that he was, or his his Dimetrodon drone was mislabeled as a Spinosaurus.

I don't see him on HST. Not even sold out or anything, just not listed at all. Can someone provide a link?

Each image is a link to the page. However, that page has since been taken down, so clicking the image takes you no where.
