Transformers: Rescue Bots Minibots Boulder and Chase Sighted at US Retail

These have been here in Orlando for about 3-4 weeks. Didn't realize it was a new story. I tend to get things way behind everyone else.

I liked these guys, but Boulder and Chase aren't as good or fun as Blades and Heatwave.

Yep, been out for a month in my area (PA) too.

For all of you who claim you got these, at least provide proof.
I didn't pick these guys up, I was just there to pick up a deluxe Scorn for spare parts. I can't stand how small they are next to prime and bee. They have so little detail thanks to their size.

Why should we do that? I have nothing to prove to anyone as I don't care if you believe me or not. Furthermore, are you going to pay me for my time and effort if I scout toys? If not, then I do not owe you or anyone else on this site anything. They are making money off of me being here in the first place in the form of advertising revenue. Do you think all those ads to the right are there for free? If you like to collect "prestige" points for being the first fanboy to take pictures of toys in a big box store, then by all means go for it.

He means "For all of you who claim you got these and want credit for your find as a news post, at least provide proof."

The news staff can't go posting anything without some level of credibility behind whatever news they post. They could easily post news for every sighting someone mentions, but without photographic evidence, the news would be lacking in merit.

But for those who don't care about having your sighting credited as news, that's fine. No proof is required of you.

Nice to see them actually using a version of the theme song in these commercials.

LOL, transform and roar out!

If prime Optimus prime has a beast mode wouldn't that have been a bit helpful when fighting the cloned predacons? Or is this rescue bots exclusive?

Many speculate this dino mode of his to be a one-episode occurrence that might have him giving it up at the episode's conclusion, while Rescue Force Sigma-17 opts to keep all of theirs.

My theory is that whatever happens, happens shortly before the end of season 2 of "Prime", and thus Optimus would wind up never using dino mode in combat because he didn't have a chance before near-death, and lost it when he was rebuilt. That'd also cover Prime not looking different in Season 3 of Rescue Bots.

But if it turns out to just be a continuity error, it's not like it'd be the first one.

Let's hope they have something planned since they've been fairly good at keeping the show in continuity, what with their having a timeline chart that maps out this show's episode with the Prime show's episodes.

Yeah, I hope so too, and it'll probably turn out okay, but there's still a part of me at the back of my brain worried this'll turn into the next "Earthforce". (I have not experienced Earthforce myself, but I have heard tell.)
