Images for Transformers: Rescue Bots Arctic Rescue Boulder, Bumblebee Rock Rescue Team

Just saw these toys in my local target in MA. The gorilla Mini-Con is named Windchill, and the eagle and lion are named Talon and Hunter respectively. Bumblebee gets 2 Mini-Cons, but Windchill is MUCH larger so it evens out. First time I had seen or heard about these. They look pretty sweet!

Oh FINALLY, the toyline gets a griffon! Hooray for more TV references!

Do you remember the price by any chance?

We have some news concerning new Transformers Rescue Bots figures, courtesy of online retailer Entertainment Earth, via site staff ScottyP and Seibertron himself. The listings show the first wave of the Flip Racers line, the Launchers from the same, and the fourth wave of Epic Figures (much like the static Titans of a couple of years back). Characters include Bumblebee, Boulder, Salvage, Quickshadow, and Blades, and are scheduled to arrive in February. Check them out below!

The word 'shot' is probably too violent for Rescue Bots. But yeah, it's the exact same concept.

Blades appears to be in his Jet mode the cockpit and wings are visible on the toy.

TFW2005 just posted tweet with an image of a Combiner for Combiner Force in art form at least on a card standee backing in a store.

It has Strongarm as a right arm , Sideswipe as the left Bumblebee as the chest and Grimlock as the legs - Grimlock is obviously much larger.

I wonder what size the toy version will be ?

And four big wheels.

Yes indeed - he's quite similar to the Botshots Powerglide and Jetfire.

I hope they get the pricing right on these as those Dinosaur ones were a total mess in the UK if you could find them at all they were twice the american dollar price in a $-£ swap so like $4.00 in USA and £8.00 in the UK - no wonder no one bought them - I was really irked by the 26 missing paint applications on Blades too compared to his packet.

The sad thing is they could have been a really fun size to go with if they'd kept the larger size as it was. but they got a bit greedy - I guess the smaller more or less Deluxe Rescue Bots have their uses though.

But i'll get these so long as Hasbro isn't delusional with the pricing or the stores have a good offer on them.

As when I see a shop selling an RID 3 step for £27 my first thought is to laugh in their face.

Not sure if cute or creepy.

Whoops. Saw "Rescue Bots" and jumped the gun. Genuinely thought this was the toy thread. Sincerest apologies!
