Sideswipe?

Morbot?

More new guys?

Wow Rescue bots as a toyline is getting pretty interesting (I'm a watcher of the show so it's always interesting to me just that the toyline left much to be desired for me)

Question who was the yellow race car guy was that Bumblebee in a new form or a new guy?

You forgot Quickshadow!

I was wondering on the yellow car too.

My kids love these, my only gripe is Hasbro had this one chance to actually keep things in scale.. Then for no particular reason they made Salvage (one of the larger bots on tv) like a mini bot, then started shrinking all the bots in general. Well that and half the new "transformer" toys don't actually transform.

I'm pretty excited that we're getting a Mor-Bot.

I'd be more excited if it was the original design and vehicle mode rather than one of seemingly half a dozen Blurr retools this year, but sometimes you just have to take what you can get.

And Cheetor as a power tool makes me happier than I have any reason to be about it. Yay BW homages!

Any chance of pictures or a press release?

I'll see what we can get. My understanding is our crew at the show didn't get the time they would have liked to view the display (overall scheduling, not unique problem to Seibertron.com) so focus was on the Generations and RiD stuff. But yeah, anyways, I'll shoot an email to their PR folks and see what we can get, as a break down of waves/size classes/etc would be nice! Some cool product for Rescue Bots coming down the pipe.

Thanks, and good luck!

Speaking of cool things coming down the pipe, I really like that four-pack that shows up in the video's background a few times. Rescue Force Sigma-17, the whole original team with their original modes all in one box. Sweet.

We bring you today the Transformers Rescue Bots official images gallery. There are a couple of firsts in these upcoming Rescue Bots toys. Morbot is the first transforming villain Rescue Bots toy while Quickshadow is the first female Rescue Bot. Also if you take a look at Sideswipe he looks like RID Sideswipe in robot mode. You can check out the gallery here or click on the images below.

Nice to see them expanding the lore a bit, getting a bit more diversity in the cast.

But really, my only take away from this is: 'dawh, tiny sideswipe is so cute'

Someone needs to repaint the Morbot into a Cobra BAT. The head is perfect, just needs some details.

I'm pretty sure they stopped doing the original size Rescue Bots after the Energize figures, and the smaller "rescan" size started after that with boat Heatwave (and bike Bumblebee and monster truck Prime).

I think Morbot is a repaint/remold of Blurr.

The two share engineering but their sculpts are quite different, much like how the original larger molds of Optimus, Heatwave, and Hoist were.

Is it just me or does that lion not look particularly lion-y?

Comment by Sabrblade Mar 27, 2016

Yeah, Hasbro, that's not what a lion looks like.
