Rescue Bots Academy Flip Racers Whirl Shows Up at Retail Unannounced

Two thing:

1. The Rescue Bots Academy designs are starting to rival the Robot Heroes figures in terms of TF cuteness.

2. I love the diagram on the front of the packaging showing the vehicle being flipped into robot mode by way of a delicately extended index finger, as if that's the "proper" way to do it.

My son is kind of aging out of Rescue Bots but kinda want to get this for the Hot Shot Flip Racer.

Arcee? No, R/C, as in radio controlled! Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Rysquad we've learned of cool new Transformers toy for our younger fans, the Transformers Rescue Bots Academy Bumblebee vs. Chase Bumper Cars Twin Pack. Rysquad spotted these at their local Target in Murrieta, CA. These use a not uncommon remote controlled vehicle design which ejects the rider of one vehicle when certain crash pads are collided with by the other. As shown in the images these are retailing for $29.99. The scale doesn't appear to be too dramatically different from the standard Rescue Bots so you can create a whole racing side quest to your regularly scheduled Rescue Bots adventures. Who will win? Bumblebee? Chase? Hey, wait...Chase, I just got that. Are you like me and just got that? Well sound off and let us know in the forums. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

I know the IDW Whirl jokes are a bit played out at this point, but the fact that this Whirl is not only also a police officer, but has also adopted a VTOL jet alt mode like he had in MTMTE made it impossible for me to pass on this set.

She has some relation to the Wrecker Whirl, like she's his little sister or daughter or something.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Archforce we have another Transformers Rescue Bots Academy Playschool Heroes sighting, this time of Rescue Bots Hoist at a Target in Aurora, Colorado for $14.99. Keep your optics peeled out there gang, the bot who's there in a pinch with a winch is out on the shelves and at a decent price for our younger Fanformers. Enjoy the image and share your thoughts in the forum. As always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Not sure if anyone else has spotted these, but saw them at a local Walmart today!

This just in from Seibertron himself is a sighting of the new Playschool ginormous sized Rescue Bots Academy Wedge the Construct-bot and Hoist. These were spotted at a Target in Rosemont, Il and are tagged at $14.99 each. These are perfect toys for our younger Transformer fans who are no doubt being groomed by their Transformer fan parents to one day inherit the fandom. Don't forget it's never too early to start a Transformers fan on the right path! Share your thoughts in the forum and happy hunting out there Seibertronians!

Greetings Seibertronians! Today we have a sighting for Rescue Bots fans as the big bot himself, Seibertron, brings us a sighting of two of the latest Rescue Bots Academy toys to hit the shelves. These toys are Grimlock (Who transforms from trusted Dino mode to a motorcycle) and Whirl the Flightbot (in her race car form). Take a look at the pictures below!

The sighting was made at a Walmart in Fort Prospect, Il outside of Chicago.
