Neat - I'll get that when they show up on eBay.

I wonder what the Jackhammer mode would look like interacting with the Snow-plow Boulder toy.

Also on the Transformers section of the Hasbro site is this oddity :

Remember back a while ago when we found some online listings for the new Rescue Bots Epic Figures collection? Well, it appears as though they have finally made it to stores! Yours truly found these with a decently sized Transformers Display earlier today, labeled at a $9.97 price point, and they include Bumblebee (not seen), Boulder, Salvage, and Quickshadow. They are similar to the large shampoo-styled bots that have been showing up in the Robots in Disguise and movie lines. Check them out below!

In this class size. She has a regular toy in the line already.

That's what I was referring to. That one's the news here.

I own her transformable toy.

Quickshadow and Salvage I spotted as online listing the other week (in the UK) but If they had Boulder I didn't see him.

If they sold them with a fully articulated Human mini-figure and a weapon-tool you could also use on the normal size toys - they'd be worth considering more closely than I do at the moment.

Here is a super cool deal for any Rescue Bot fans. Right now, Toysrus has a deal where you can buy 1 Rescue Bot toy and get the other (of equal price or lower) free. The deal even seems to apply for those on sale. Please tell us if this works smoothly when you try and we hope this helps! This is only for Toysrus.com.

Back in April, we had reported on a new wave of Rescue Bot toys which featured a blue redeco of the T-Rex Optimus Prime, black redeco of raptor Bumblebee, a new plane Bumblebee and a dragon Heatwave. These were all found by Scottimus Prime at Medford Target in Long Island, New York.

These are also showing up in Last Knight free standing displays in Wal Marts. Spotted weeks ago in various stores.

Going to multiple Targets (ZIPs 92126, 92562, 92127, 92025) I'm only finding black Dinobot Bumblebee, blue Dinobot Optimus Prime, and Dragon Heatwave - no Jet Bumblebees.

Thanks to Twincast Podcast host Scotty P, we now know that the latest Transformers Rescue Bots products are now available online. These are the Flip Racer teams which should be making their way to retail stores shortly. Each team has 3 members and like the G1 Jumpstarters, the gimmick is that they flip into robot mode as they roll. If any mom or dad who grew up with the Jumpstarters Top Spin and Twin Twist want to recreate that G1 moment with their kids, this is the perfect opportunity. You can get these on Amazon.

Rescue Bots Flip Racers Griffin Rock Construction Team

Here are the product summaries of each team along with images of each team below:

Sized right for little hands, 3 awesome Flip Racers figures--Boulder the Construction-Bot, Mortar, and Salvage—convert from vehicle mode to bot mode 1 easy step!

Flip them back down to convert the Boulder the Construction-Bot figure into a bulldozer vehicle, Mortar figure into a cement mixer vehicle, and Salvage figure into a garbage truck vehicle. Smooth-rolling wheels help little heroes pretend to roll them to the scene of a rescue in a hurry!

Sleek and speedy, the Rescue Bots Flip Racers Griffin Rock Racing Team zips and zooms to the rescue! Sized right for little hands, 3 awesome Flip Racers figures--Chase the Police-Bot, Blurr, and Sideswipe--convert from vehicle mode to bot mode in 1 easy step!

A police car coming with two fast cars just gives me the mental image of him pulling the racers over for speeding.

Directly from the floor at San Diego Comic Con 2017, site owner Seibertron is providing us images of the display area at the Hasbro booth where they had a nice display of Transformers Rescue Bots toys. What we can see for now are all previously revealed toys such as Optimus Prime Racing Track Trailer, Flip Racers Multipacks (which just became available for ordering), Knight Watch Bumblebeen, race track playsets. We have images of the display below and you can reach the full gallery of said display by clicking any image.

These are only the initial images, of course, expect the full Seibertron.com treatment as the event continues with actual reveals across the weekend, with the Hasbro Breakfast Press event Thursday morning, panel coverage on Friday and Saturday, and follow-ups with official images and more!

The Transformers: Rescue Bots line is not always updated with the same rigor as other more collector oriented lines and he US is even sometimes quite late to get new product. So for those who do enjoy this line and did not know yet, we have a roundup of the latest Rescue Bots toys you an now find at retail.

Knight Watch Bumblebee (a set of 3 dragons) took its sweet time appearing at retail but you can get it now for $25. There are also Hoist, Medix, Optimus, and Heatwave flip changers. Also, since we have been getting sightings lately, we just wanted to let you know that the Rescue Bots Arctic Rescue Boulder and Bumblebee Rock Rescue Team have been in the US for a while now as well as the latest wave of single figures which includes a Heatwave that turns into a two headed dragon.

The pictures below come from a Toysrus in Westland, Michigan.
