Well that didn't take long. We just learnt of brand new Rescue Bots products coming out way and the ones people were most excited about have been found at Canadian retail. These are part of the Dinobots Adventures subline and are redecos to turn previously released Resce Bot toys into G1 Snarl, Sludge, Slag and Swoop. Those were some of my kid's favourite toys and since he had misplaced some of the original releases (because he is 3) you can bet your bottom dollar we took some home with us. All four have a quick conversion and a simple but satisfying action gimmick in dino mode. Slag does require some shaving of the plastic to make the one step transformation easier to do. This specific sighting is from a Toysrus in Montreal Canada. Unlike other Rescue Bots toys, these were not in the Playskool section but rather the main Transformers section.

Haven't seen Roddy yet, but I myself think WfC has had the best distribution Central Indiana has seen in quite a while.and really most of the current TF Toylines

EDIT: I refer specifically to WFC Rodimus because that's what is in the attached picture. I do realize tjis is supposed to be a Rescue Bots thread

Griffin from Ozformers got the Optimus Prime Jumbo Jet Wing Racer toy and has taken mages of it. While it is not branded as a Rescue Bots toy, it is the same aesthetic and the plane mode further converts into a carrying tray for Rescue Bots figures. This toy was found in Australia about a month ago and has yet to show up in America.

It also comes with a simplified Bumblebee figure. Here is the product description:

Little heroes can imagine going on daring missions with one of their favorite TRANSFORMERS characters! The 15-inch OPTIMUS PRIME figure converts from jet mode to Jumbo Jet Wing Racer mode in just a few simple steps, perfect for little heroes. Jet mode features spinning propellers, rolling wheels and can store up to 4 figures in vehicle mode. With the playset in bot mode, kids can push figures up the OPTIMUS PRIME figure’s jet wings, then release to watch them race towards the finish line! The figure also comes with a 4.5-inch BUMBLEBEE figure that features simple 1-step conversion from robot to racecar mode.

The idea of Optimus carrying your Autobots is pretty cool.

I guess it resembles a jumbo jet.

Aerodynamic :lol:

Seriously, though, I think it would be lots of fun for my nephew.

There are toys so stupid it's awesome, and there are toys just plane plain stupid. This is the latter, and I'm not looking it from a collector point of view.

Easy play pattern improvements. Propellers should be jet engines befitting a jumbo JET and add voice chips w/ OP classic/RescueBots phrases, jet engines swoosh noises, transforming sound, etc. Make the ramp spring loaded so pressing a button can launch the cars out of the ramps so the "RACER" part in the name makes sense (I think the yellow piece on the wings work with gravity in OP bot mode only, realease it and the car slide down the ramp vertically. But they do nothing in jumbo jet mode?). Simple changes that add a buck or two to the cost but make kids, parent & TF fans alike super happy and get a ton more sales because it's a better toy. Is that too hard?

I-it’s basically a glorified box... At least give it an action feature, like spring loaded car launchers, or lights and sounds. Anything to up the play value.

Wings convert to Racetracks is not enough of a play feature? :lol:

They also have a release mechanism for the cars so they can speed down the wing ramps .

"Articulation" who needs articulation when your wings can be racetracks. :-D

WHY A PLANE? It's just doesn't make any sense. This concept would be just perfect for a huge cargo ship. But noooooooooo, sea ships are uncool. Better have a jumbo jet with CAR CARRIERS as wings. :HEADHURTS:

The plane mode looks like a hot mess. Most kids will want to pick that up and go "neeeeyyooooow!" with it, but won't be able to, due to the size. They should have made into a base, massive lorry, or ship, do kids could push it around in the ground/keep it stationary.

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, and toy reviewer, Chuckdawg1999, we now have video reviews of the recently re-released Transformers Rescue Bots toys (now under a Dinobot Adventures branding). These figures are all ones that have been seen on store shelves before but are perfect for those little fans who might have missed out on them the first time.

Let's see what Chuck has to say:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Rescue Bots are fun Transformers with simpler transformations that are made for smaller hands. The Dinobot Adventures version of Bumblebee with his partner Lance is a fun set that will charm fans both young and old.

And:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Now, these are squad goals I can get behind! Continuing our look at the Dinobot Adventures subline of Rescue Bots is the Dinobot Squad pack of Grimlock, Snarl, and Predaking; one of these things is definitely not like the other. All three feature simple transformations and static posing but Predaking is the stand-out with articulated dragon heads. Definitely worth a look for younger fans.

Stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

There is that big mind-boggling Optimus plane whose wings are inexplicably car carrier trailers.

Then there'e that huge Optimus base playset where smaller bots can fit inside like carrion devouring a corpse.

Finally there's that pretty big Optimus with a sizeable trailer that can carry many "deluxes". However, the only way to get that is through Ebay.

That's the "base" Optimus. Too bad it don't transform though.
