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.

You know what guys? Since the listings say the next movie toys are meant to be out in April and most are for younger kids and Primal is in most classes, my first thought when I saw a pic of that Primal toy on Facebook was "HOLY SHIT, ROTB TOYS HAVE LEAKED!".

That was definitely my first thought when I saw the thumbnail here. I'm sure there's a connection to the movie just like I'm sure there is with Kingdom and Beast Wars reissues coming out ahead of the movie, I don't really buy the anniversary excuse. Remember that we got the earlier G1 reissues at Walmart because Hasbro wanted to get 80s toys into stores in time for the first 80s based Bumblebee movie. Here we are again getting a bunch of Beast Wars characters into stores in time for a Beast Wars heavy movie.

Yeah, the rescue bots line has been promoting/linked to whatever media hasbro wants it to promote lately, with the Rescue Bots show over. So last year, there was a big emphasis on Dinobots in the Cyberverse toyline and media, so Rescue Bots offered similar characters for th younger age segment. And this would be the same with ROTB, where the only character in that set not in ROTB being Grimlock.

With a name like "Classic Heroes Team", I get the feeling that this is supposed to be something like the preschool equivalent of Classics/Universe/pre-CW Generations, or even just Legacy. That these are just the classic characters we all know and love instead of specifically the Aligned versions (plus a brand new Aligned Optimus Primal) that everything from Rescue Bots/Academy/Dinobot Adventures have been up to this point.

I know I am waaaaay late to the game to find the G1 repainted little Sludge/Snarl/Swoop/Slag, but I can't even find them on ebay or any other online store. Was it THAT limited a production?

I know I'm waaaay late to the party, but I'm wondering if anyone has seen the little g1 dinos being sold through ebay or anything? Don't know how I missed em last year, course my walmart was in a bad slump. Thanks.

They didn't really show up at Walmart. Instead they were found at Kroger's I think. And yeah, hard to find on e-bay. I am selling two of them but I'm in Canada so shipping would be ridiculous.

We have news that new Transformers Rescue Bots Grimlock and Optimus Primal have been found at US retail. Vector Oracle found them at a Macy's in California. These are both new molds and it is the first Rescue Bots Grimlock to transform from a T-rex into a robot. This is good news as the Rescue Bots line has always been popular with very young kids and is always in demand.
If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

These haven't been found on US online retailers yet, right?
