Transformers: Rescue Bots Epic Figures Wave 4 Sighted in US

In this class size. She has a regular toy in the line already.

Quickshadow and Salvage I spotted as online listing the other week (in the UK) but If they had Boulder I didn't see him.

If they sold them with a fully articulated Human mini-figure and a weapon-tool you could also use on the normal size toys - they'd be worth considering more closely than I do at the moment.

Back in April, we had reported on a new wave of Rescue Bot toys which featured a blue redeco of the T-Rex Optimus Prime, black redeco of raptor Bumblebee, a new plane Bumblebee and a dragon Heatwave. These were all found by Scottimus Prime at Medford Target in Long Island, New York.

Going to multiple Targets (ZIPs 92126, 92562, 92127, 92025) I'm only finding black Dinobot Bumblebee, blue Dinobot Optimus Prime, and Dragon Heatwave - no Jet Bumblebees.

Thanks to Twincast Podcast host Scotty P, we now know that the latest Transformers Rescue Bots products are now available online. These are the Flip Racer teams which should be making their way to retail stores shortly. Each team has 3 members and like the G1 Jumpstarters, the gimmick is that they flip into robot mode as they roll. If any mom or dad who grew up with the Jumpstarters Top Spin and Twin Twist want to recreate that G1 moment with their kids, this is the perfect opportunity. You can get these on Amazon.

Dont worry, most people do. They want to get straight to the goodies!

The Transformers: Rescue Bots line is not always updated with the same rigor as other more collector oriented lines and he US is even sometimes quite late to get new product. So for those who do enjoy this line and did not know yet, we have a roundup of the latest Rescue Bots toys you an now find at retail.

Knight Watch Bumblebee (a set of 3 dragons) took its sweet time appearing at retail but you can get it now for $25. There are also Hoist, Medix, Optimus, and Heatwave flip changers. Also, since we have been getting sightings lately, we just wanted to let you know that the Rescue Bots Arctic Rescue Boulder and Bumblebee Rock Rescue Team have been in the US for a while now as well as the latest wave of single figures which includes a Heatwave that turns into a two headed dragon.

The pictures below come from a Toysrus in Westland, Michigan.

Picked up the blue/Night Watch Optimus Primal for my son. We never had the original red one. I feel like it's going to break during transformation because of a loud click. :/
