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.Flashwave wrote: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.

No sightings yet, to my knowledge.Flashwave wrote:Come to think of it, I don't think we got our AoE garbage truck, did we?

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

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.

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

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

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 Feature Bots Figures Wave 1
February 2015
Get ready to roll out with the Rescue Bots! Transformers Rescue Bots Feature Bots Figures includes 5-inch action figures with cool features and awesome sculpting. Each one is armed and ready to save the day! Case of 8 individually packaged non-transforming figures includes:
4x TRA RBT HEATWAVE THE FIRE BOT
4x TRA RBT BOULDER THE CONSTRUCTION BOT
(subject to change)

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.

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!

I saw them at Target a few weeks ago. I passed at the time because I was already buying about $40 worth of toys and had to cut my trip down. And the fact that Meijer and Walmart still have the price point of $7.99 while Target has always been 9.99 each. I figured I would wait untikl I see them there. I hate it when you go weeks without finding squat, and then all the sudden everything shows up at once...
Reissues like the rescans, the dinos, these new ones......new characters are in order. That is why I might pick up Salvage, and was glad to see Medix and Hoist reissued.

They keep making new toys of the main four since those guys are in the show. They're trying to milk their popularity as they always do with popular characters.shockblast2 wrote:Reissues like the rescans, the dinos, these new ones......new characters are in order.

I wager it is $14.99, but it could be more. I am actually going there to day on my lunch break, so I will look then. If they have Salvage I might grab it.
