Kohl's exclusive? That thing's been at Walmart for months. Discounted down to $24.99, even, since it's been shelfwarming for so long.

And the odd thing about that is, it has "A Kohl's Exclusive" sticker on it. Here's a pic:

Having never seen the other mass release piece, is there any deco difference? or is it literally just the sticker on the package?

It looks dead-on the same as the Walmart pack from last Christmas, no deco difference that I can see even on the mini-figures. Probably was assumed that Walmart had long run out of them (they have around here at least), so they solicited them to Kohl's as an exclusive for this year.

I'd be curious if you could scrub that blue energon deco paint off the front of the cab... or if there are wacky tattoo-style details molded into the front of him. I kinda want a version of this Prime, but would prefer it look more G1.

Looking at mine, the blue Energize tech detailing is indeed painted onto the red plastic, but the Autobot symbol with the ring is molded into the plastic, so removing the blue paint from that might be tricky.

Site sponsor BigBadToyStore gives us a first look at a couple new Transformers: Rescue Bots Rescan 2015 series 1 figures. Salvage who transforms into a garbage truck is in the wave with the new Rescan Optimus Prime and the previously revealed Boulder and Chase. Check out the bot and alt mode images from the listing which is scheduled to drop in December.

So, does Salvage rescue the environment by mining landfills for recyclable and compostable waste? Shame he wasn't around for the Earth Day ep.

Alas, another new character who shan't make it into the show.

Though, his torso makes me think of Rescue Roy.

And why are they making another Optimus figure based on the first one?

I still say we need an episode like Autoboot Camp where the Rescue Bots remenise on some of the Cybertronians they trained with, maybe one of the older siblings has a reunion, and Hoist, Medix, and now Salvage all get a quicky shout out. They could easily be buddies of Chase, (Repo?) Heatwave, and Boulder respectively.

Come to think of it, I don't think we got our AoE garbage truck, did we?

If only. But the makers keep saying that it's too expensive to create new Bot models.

No sightings yet, to my knowledge.

What's the point of that Optimus figure? It's just the first one, but with slightly better proportions.

Salvage reminds me a bit of Strong-Bot, but I like Transformers with unusual alt modes like garbage trucks, so I'm interested.

Sabrblade wrote:If only. But the makers keep saying that it's too expensive to create new Bot models.

...That makes me wonder exactly what kind of budget the show has. How much lower than what Prime or Animated had is it?

Waist looks like it turns during transformation rather than feet flipping up. Plus, like you said, slightly better proportions. But more significantly, it's probably at the new, smaller and cheaper price point. And the original isn't necessarily going to be readily available any more once this one hits shelves.

What's more is that now the show has greatly improved its use of CGI models for the bots, so I'd imagine that it's now more expensive than ever to animate the six Autobot models that they already have.

So, wait, if Salvage is a garbage truck, does that mean he rolls to the refuse? :lol:

Site owner Seibertron has source some additional product descriptions and some new images too for upcoming products in various Transformers lines! First up, we look at the Rescue Bots, and the first wave of non-transforming Feature Bots, presumably because of an action gimmick - take a look below for an image and more info.

Transformers Rescue Bots Elite Rescue Heatwave showed up a few days ago on HasbroToyShop.com and was found at retail earlier tonight at Target in Rosemont, IL by Seibertron himself.

He gave us some in hand images which include our first look at Elite Rescue Salvage, found on the back of the card.

As you can see from the comparison shot, these seem to be upscaled versions of the first year figures such as Heatwave the Fire-Bot with new alt modes and a slightly more complex transformation.

Saw one at Target today, myself. Won't buy it unless it makes its way into the show, though.

Salvage looks kinda cool.

Comment by shockblast2 Jan 28, 2015

Pass. As a parent I am done buying rescue bots after I find rescan Boulder and Chase. These "reissues" are getting stupid. I might pick up the new bot though. Depending on cost.

I noticed last month that Hasbro reissued the original Hoist and Medix, which was great as I picked them up for $10, after selling my first set on ebay about a year or so ago for about $100 each!
