This Classic Heroes Team line is on a roll. Not only did we get our first Decepticon recently, that being G1 Megatron as a drill tank, but now we have Beast Wars Megatron too. This toy is an homage to the very first Beast Wars Megatron basic toy which also turned into a Crocodile. And funny enough it was a one step too, like this toy. This toy was found on Toysrus shelves in the Philippines by Cubedude. Speaking of toys which transform in just one step, we now know of the next wave of rereleased One Steps for the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line. The pictures come from JT Prime17. This is simply to have affordable Transformers products on shelves at all times for kids and parents and while having more Optimus and Megatron (Cybertronian tank in this case) is routine, it is cool to see that Sky-Byte is being reissued as well. These one steps have already been found on shelves in Target.

Despite the croc altmode, this doesn't quite look to be Beast Wars Megatron proper. Unlike the Optimus Primal toy, who has a Maximal symbol, this toy has a Decepticon symbol instead of a Predacon one, and its head resembles G1 Megatron more than BW croc Megatron, whose head was green and purple instead of all-silver. It's also shaped like no BW Megatron head design ever made, looking more like another stylization of G1 Megatron's head.

It's some sort of Hybrid and its a wise business decision.
Because "no one" know of the OG Croc Megs.

In fact, there's even already a preexisting mold that would have been perfect to retool into BW Megs: The Rescue Bots T-Rex Optimus Prime toy that transforms just like BW T-Rex Megatron.
If they were willing to make this Croc Megs toy at all, I doubt obscurity was the reason they gave it a G1 Megatron head and a Decepticon symbol instead of a BW Megs head and Predacon symbol.

Then why make Croc Megs in the first place if he's too obscure? Wouldn't the more mainstream T-Rex Megs be the even wiser business decision?-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Despite the croc altmode, this doesn't quite look to be Beast Wars Megatron proper.

I think it's on purpose.
A nod to the hardcore while the casual can still recognize Megs.
Still, remolding T-Rextimus into a Megs is obvious and it's baffling it's still not already done.

So, trying to please everyone by pleasing no one? They didn't do that with the Optimus Primal toy. No G1 Optimus Prime noggin or Autobot symbol on him. They just straight up made him faithful-looking.-Kanrabat- wrote:I think it's on purpose.

Well, I am pleased. It looks like it's NOT the BW character, but rather the "real" Megatron who killed a croc and is now wearing its skin.
Forgot to add that not adding purple spots for an added G2 reference is a missed opportunity.

Of all the Megatrons that could have been reimagined, I never thought they'd go for the crocodile one. Looks good, though. Sky-Byte, too.

Neat! Despite not being in the show, the Bat Primal and Megacroc two-pack were my first Beast Wars toys, so I have a lot of nostalgia for them.

Sounds like the Prime toys in Legacy.
But to be fair, this inconsistency in the character design won't matter. This is not like messing up the faction symbols on G2 Bruticus. This is just another product for the toddler aisle.
Though I do agree that it's odd they havent reused that T-Rex design for BW Megatron, it's the perfect transformation.

It got a smile on my face, and I don't collect these. I think it's a great homage for something that is in a kiddie line. You looked at it, you immediately recognized what it was trying to be. Ergo the Homage did the first half of its job. (The second half being to get purchased).
But to your point, they also didn't do the Primal this would have paired with. The Optimus Primal they did fronted 2 series: the OG Beast Wars the parents would recognize, and the Netflix series that an older sibling probably would have watched (according to Hasbro's targeting data). And it SHOULD have gone well with another Ape Optimus Primal in a movie that would have been out right now.
Had they done a Bat for Primal, I suspect they probably would have gone with a more iconic head sculpt as well as opposed to the original or something along the lines of Takara s Convobat.
I agree with the Trex Optimus needs to he redone for Beast Megs though. Maybe they are hesitant to use a Show model Autobot for a "bad guy" in the youngster toy line because of recognizability?

I'm not saying it's GOOD logic, but I can see them doing something like that."Well we don't want to confuse the young kids by giving them bad guy toys that looked like the good guys on the show but the other toys are fair game because they can use their imagination."

I never really cared for rescue bots, but what I would care for is if we got updated, fully functional transformers of them. Like RID Blurr, that was a cool idea. Maybe in Legacy?

No, not at all.
Also, make it a 1-step changer with an optional "base mode" where small bots could crawl inside like carrion.

Thanks to some e-bay listings, we have a look at some Rescue Bots Academy products that were ever released. They are:
Hasbro Transformers Rescue Bots Academy Optimus Prime 2.4 GHz Radio Control https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?siteid=0&pub=5574891718&campid=5336631220&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F204088888788%3Fm%20...%205335815852%3C%2Fa%3E%26

Now it is unknown if these will ever be sold in stores since the Rescue Bots Academy line has been retired and replaced by the Classic Heroes lie. They do look like fun toys for kids though. You'll let us know what you think.

Intersting, it's not a toy I ever found in stores, but it surely was released if it ended up in a thrift store. This line was never a big priority for coverage from any media site since there was very little interest from fans.

We have news that the Transformers Mini Racers first shown over a year ago have been found in the US. While these are very similar to the Rescue Bots Mini Racers we previously had, these are all G1 characters. It's a trend we've seen a lot now where the Rescue Bot products are being revamped within a more G1 themed line. These particular products are one of the lowest priced Transformers items that transform in the Fisher Price aisle of retail stores. These ones have 2 robot heads, one that peeks out in alt mode, like the bot is driving itself and another for the robot mode. This series has Trailbreaker, Arcee, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Hoist. These were found at a Kroger in Indianapolis, IN.
If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

I actually made that post back in early November, but oddly it was just approved and posted yesterday.
Since then through some discussion on other forums and my own research, it's been determined that this was an unreleased Bumblebee from the “Griffin Rock Off-Road Rescue Team." The lack of copyright and the stamped numbers shows that it was probably a preproduction sample.

While it might weird or unbelievable to find this in a random bag at the thrift store, it was in the same town as Hasbro HQ, so it was most likely a former employee downsizing.

Since then through some discussion on other forums and my own research, it's been determined that this was an unreleased Bumblebee from the “Griffin Rock Off-Road Rescue Team." The lack of copyright and the stamped numbers shows that it was probably a preproduction sample.

While it might weird or unbelievable to find this in a random bag at the thrift store, it was in the same town as Hasbro HQ, so it was most likely a former employee downsizing.

There's a very interesting 4 pack that just popped in at Amazon. It's basically a "my first Transformers starter pack" for any young kids or hobbyists who love simple desk toys.
The 4 pack are the "one steps" of Megatron, Starscream, Bumblebee, and Optimus Prime. They all look good in both modes and looks like tons of fun. Plus the price is good at 45$CAN for the pack compared to 15$CAN for a single figure.
They also to have some major differences in deco compared to their single releases. So one may double-dip is they already had those before.
The set:
The original singles:
Appart Bee, who trade painted kneecaps for painted fists, the bots from the pack look much better than their single releases IMO. I'll be considering it.

Odd. The 4-pack doesn't have the "Classic Heroes Team" logo or any other logo besides a generic "Transformers" logo.

But the "Transformers" name is the exact same font as the Classic Heroes Team logo.
So, it kinda count as a logo?

The G1 versions are hilarious while the Rescue bot versions have "bug faces". If I ever find them locally, I'd be tempted.

Doggonit! We commonfolk can't actually buy from this site, as they only sell to those who own and operate the entertainment machines that these toys are found in.
