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

Without a show airing now, the Rescue Bots toyline has become the Transformers Classic Heroes line. Same idea, same place in stores, and same molds for many of them (through rereleases) but Optimus Primal and Grimlock are new molds and the latest releases. If you want them in your Rescue Bots collection or as perfect presents for the youngest transformers fans (it is how I got my kid into Transformers), they are now available on Amazon. The links are below. We also have a review from Chuckdawg1999 of Optimus Primal so you can see how this guy looks in hand. The attention of detail and call backs for a "Rescue Bots" toy goes beyond that of previous figures, but then again this is the first mold which refers to a character that was not on the show and thus does not have a simplified animation model.

Grimlock https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Cla?tag=seibertron07-20& ... 14&sr=8-46

Transformation is what you would expect and the styling is of that soft, younger style, I love the grin on the gorilla head. Optimus Primal is perfect for smaller hands, or as a desk toy for older Beast Wars fans.

That Primal may be just a one-step brick, but it looks great and will be a fun desk toy to mess around with.
If I see it in store and it's not 30$+, I'd buy it.

While the rescue Bots Line is technically over, the style of figure and it's space at retail is very much alive, with new entries too. One that's been found in the US in the past month, we have a sighting below from fellow Seibetronian Rysquad, is the new Megatron mold, the first ever Decepticon found in that line. If you have seen it and are curious as to what it's all about, we have a video review for you below.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Sure, this is a simplified figure, but it's cool to see Megs reimagined as a drill tank, a standard of Japanese mecha stories. If you collect Rescue Bots then adding Megatron to your collection is a must.

But I thought no decepticons in rescue bots, unless they become good?....
Re: New Transformers Rescue Bots Optimus Primal and Grimlock found at US Retail

That's why these new toys are NOT "Rescue Bots." They have the style and spirit, but they are not in the Rescue Bots universe.
As for that Drill Tanks Megs, I'd really love for Reprolabels to turn it into the IDW miner Megs. A cute and chibified IDW Miner Megs. That would be way cool!

I'm more interested in the fact that the person who sent these photos is wearing "Spider-Man" Crocs (lower left).....

You do realise that was just a French translation right? These toys know who they're marketed for.

Yes. I'm sorry about offending the French users of this site. Even Kankrabat. I was more joking on the transformation. Yes, I know, it doesn't NEED to be better.

Kankrabat, sometimes you make me laugh in a good way. God Bless you!
Now I HAVE to check it for a Ukrainian translation, but there probably isn't one...

Look up the European packaging. Those are usually overkill with the number of languages on the box.

This Classic Heroes Team line is on a roll. Not only did we get our first Decepticon recently, that being G1 Megatron as a drill tank, but now we have Beast Wars Megatron too. This toy is an homage to the very first Beast Wars Megatron basic toy which also turned into a Crocodile. And funny enough it was a one step too, like this toy. This toy was found on shelves in the Philippines by Cubedude. Speaking of toys which transform in just one step, we now know of the next wave of rereleased One Steps for the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line. The pictures come from JT Prime17. This is simply to have affordable Transformers products on shelves at all times for kids and parents and while having more Optimus and Megatron (Cybertronian tank in this case) is routine, it is cool to see that Sky-Byte is being reissued as well.
