Walmart.ca currently has the latest big Rescue Bots toy, Dinobot Adventures Optimus Prime T-Rex, for parents who want to get a big gift this Christmas for the youngest Transformers fans. This is a redeco of a previously released toy. It's basically a 9 inch Optimus Prime that turns into a T Rex in on step and has lights and sounds.
Here is the link if you wish to purchase it: https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/transforme ... 0203870015

Figure scale: 9+ inches
Ages 3 and up
The Dinobots are stomping, chomping, and roaring into action! Dinobot Adventures introduces little heroes to Grimlock and his Dinobot friends, plus favorite Autobot characters with re-imagined dinosaur alt modes!
Optimus Prime is ready to roar as a mighty T-Rex! Imagine saving the day with the Optimus Prime T-Rex figure, sized right for small hands. Kids ages 3 and up can enjoy twice the fun with 2 modes of play, converting the Optimus Prime T-Rex figure from Tyrannosaurus Rex to robot mode with the push of a button! The figure converts back to Tyrannosaurus Rex mode in 1 easy step. Press the button on the Optimus Prime T-Rex figure’s back to activate chomping action with exciting lights and sounds! Figure also features button-activated rescue drill that spins in both modes!
Also look for other Transformers Dinobot Adventures toys to assemble a team. (Each sold separately. Subject to availability.)

From what I gather, this was not released in the US. Does anyone know otherwise?

Yeah, it still works. I also haven't seen any Dino stuff at Walmart or Target. Haven't really seen much of any Rescue Bots stuff in stock at all, their space has been a big void most of the year.

Same at my walmarts and toysrus. Those Bumblebee and Optimus dinobots at the lower price point sell out very quickly at every restock. Hasbro is underestimating the popularity of those toys.

Ratchet was a great addition to the Rescue Bots cast in the Rescue Bots Academy spinoff so it's nice to see a new toy for him getting released for young kids. While his mold is based on the Medix transformation he has a nice new headsculpt. We also have news of a new Heatwave toy coming from the same line. This Heatwave turns into a plane. All the images come from e-bay where these new toys can currently be purchased.

Everybody is chubby in the Rescue Bots universe.
I find this kinda hilarious.
That Ratchet is pretty nice. I'm tempted.

Medix being retooled into Uncle Ratchet is kind of appropriate.

You know what I love about Rescue Bots? They arent afraid to say "Let's make Heatwave a water bomber". They arent ashamed ti make a cool vehicle transformer and I wish Generations could be that unapologetic, or at least within reason

While the Rescue Bots show is over, there is still a big market for these style of toys and Hasbro wants to have a stable stream of product alongside Imaginext toys in the toddler toy aisle. So Hasbro is releasing more Rescue Bots type product under the Classic Heroes Team banner and you can see them below. The Optimus prime and Bumblebee are repacks, but the Grimlock and Optimus Primal are new. This is surprising since the previous rescue bots Optimus Primal was an Optimus Prime which turned into a T-Rex, and so we'd assumed this would be a reissue of that rather than a brand new mold. This is sure to be fun for young kids, who can play with these starting at 2 years old (despite what the recommended age states).

That Grimlock looks like a potato, but that Primal intrigue me. 
I may buy him out of curiosity.

Gorilla eyes peeking up ominously over Primal's chest plate is a cool effect.

My 4 year old wants that Primal so bad. I think he's too old for it though.

You should know, like all of us, that "too old for a toy" (any toy) is a fallacy.

They're rated 3+, if 4 is too old that isn't much of an age range.
