Playskool Heroes Transformers Rescue Bots Commercial

Damn you, hasbro! You've just made me want to buy Optimus Prime and Blades

These toys are actually pretty neat. Found a bunch at wal-mart in ri this weekend. I learned that the smaller toys that come with the people actually turn into weapons for the larger bots. That is going to be huge selling point for when I buy them for my son. He did buy the jetpack and he loves it. He's looking forward to getting the police car soon so that he can use the car and jet pack together.

Good job, hasbro!

golder? GOLDER?. how did they come up with such a stupid name? I want to see a new generation getting a combining devastator! That would have made the perfect scrapper! It could be a 40 doller add on kit with some new figures & a combining unit that turns into a base. who agrees?!

W- what third party company would waste their resources on a toy made for pre-schoolers?!

Oh, this video is making these adorable non-articulate bricks look VERY tempting. Though, I'm curious if that animation seen at the beginning is how the cartoon is really gonna look.

ihave to say that helicopter one...blades, was it?...is scarily tempting.
just because of the fun little way to trand=sform him.
evidedntly you cant spin the rotors in vehicle mode, however.

But... the paintjob looks better then the crapy Dark of the Moon Toyline. Way much better painting then shit toys like dotm deluxe mechtech sideswipe and roadbuster for example.

So Me ask: WHY Hasbro? Why you can't do a better paintjob on your tf toys like Takara Tomy and others but on this baby toys?

Takara's better paint jobs are usually done after the Hasbro versions are completed. They are more collector-oriented while Hasbro's ones are more for the mainstream market. Takara's only look better because we see the Hasbro ones as inferior from the start, rather than seeing them as acceptable to begin with.

As for the Rescue Bots, THEY ARE NOT FOR COLLECTORS! Transformers is a childrens' toyline. So why can't there be Transformers toys for kids?

I sincerely doubt there will be any Decepticons, since, according the packaging, the Rescue Bots fight "fires, floods, and crime, or anything in between".

I've always said that it'd be really cute to have the Decepticons be friends of the Autobots in these kid series, but have the Decepticons be the ones who get into trouble or cause trouble through mischief and clumsiness or absentmindedness and the Autobots are the ones who have to clean up the mess. That way there can be a "lesson" learned/theme with each episode or book.

Coincidentally, that's exactly how the Playskool Go-Go-Go-Bots cartoon was... except that they were all one faction (Go-Bots) instead of two (Autobots and Decepticons). Though, the "good guys" of that show were given the group name "Go-Bot Protectors" to individuate them from any other Go-Bots.

Actually, it said, twist the ROTOR NOB to convert blades.
I Belive you CAN Rotate the propeller without transforming him, if not, there would be no point. He's like Blazemaster done right! (To most fans I'm guessing, I like Blazemaster, bite me.)
