Transformers: Rescue Bots Salvage, Blurr and Servo Concept Art by Marvin Mariano

Here is one that just came out of nowhere! Amazon.com just posted a brand new Rescue Bots toy, by Playskool Heroes, the Transformers Rescue Bots Optimus Prime Exclusive! We don't know much about toy and this design of Optimus Prime has not appeared in the comics before. But this figure does look like a remold of Rescue Bots Hoist!

Check out the images we've embedded below and you can order yours here

I didnt know about this one. I like it.

edit after reading article: Oh. well durr.

They don't even sell that pricepoint in stores anymore. This is too weird.

When did have a tow truck Optimus in Armada?

For those of you puzzled over my comment about OP being a tow truck,please see

P.S.He cannot transform.

Why didn't they even announce these at BotCon?

And after seeing that wonderfully show-accurate headsculpt, I wish it had been used on the original Heatwave toy (regardless of how impossible that would have been).

Were they really desperate to use these molds?First Hoist as OP,now Medix as Heatwave.
The colouring is kinda weird.

P.S. Heatwave now has a beer gut!

ScottyP has some fun news for Rescue Bot fans with a new sighting:

Rescue Bots Rescan Bumblebee found at a Target in Raleigh, NC for $9.99. Feels like this came out of nowhere. Others in the assortment were all in previous waves: Salvage, OP (small truck), Heatwave (boat), Blades (jet).

If they feel like remaking things perhaps they can make the Dinosaurs in a larger size - such a nice idea compromised by an almost total lack of paint and minuscule size.

Chase with clear pieces for his stega-fins would look cool -especially if he was the size of the new larger Heatwave Fire truck then they could light up too.

If they could make the Dino's larger then have maybe a place so something can ride on them that would be lots of fun.

I hope one day Hasbro will make the little figures with joints too (like they did Cody who came with the big playset) perhaps as part of a giftset.

It's a shame that they don't promote these more - I didn't even know there was going to be a Dani Figure until I tripped over her on shelves in a two pack.
