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.

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.

A police car coming with two fast cars just gives me the mental image of him pulling the racers over for speeding.

We have images of the display below and you can reach the full gallery of said display by clicking any image.

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.

I wanted to buy that Bumblebee, and maybe one of the flip changers which are kind of cool, but my boys and I were on a mission. If there had been any other newer movie TFs, I might have picked up one of those, but there weren't. Seems mine is the only TRU that did not reset. No leaders, no voyagers wave 2, no new deluxes, no Trypticon, but it did have one more CHAOS on Velocitron set. I wanted to buy it for some reason, but didn't (already have 1).

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. :/

I think we have the original here. I'll have to check to see if it makes a loud click or not. I think I remember several of the Rescue bots making a very clear, audible click when transforming. Made me nervous too.

Spotted three at Kmart Tuesday.
$26.99, but 15% off for the time being makes for a good price. Kinda want it, might go back and get it.
Also spotted that dragon Heatwave at Walmart.

Same boat. Like it enough to buy, but must wait for a lesser price. 15% off is good, but with sales tax negligible. Good spot though.

Scottimus Prime has found these Transformers Rescue Bots Flip Change Race Tracks at a Target store in South Setauket, Long Island NY. He has included a picture of them below. They appear to be sold for 59.99 in store.
Also in Rescue Bots news, we have a look at the logo for the upcoming show Rescue Bots Academy.

Seibertronian staffer ScottyP has spotted two new Rescue Bots figures we first briefly saw at Toy Fair 2017, over on the Hasbro Transformers website! The two are a blue version of Optimus Prime doing his best impersonation of Homer Simpson as Mr Plow for his alt-mode, and a blue stegosaurus version of Chase, now the Dino Protector - check out the official stock images below, and click to take a look at the listings too.
Imagine helping Optimus Prime save the day! As a fierce truck, Optimus Prime is ready to roll to the rescue. Imagine there is a dangerous situation happening on Griffin Rock, kids can convert the heroic Optimus Prime figure from a robot into a vehicle that will speed to the scene for a courageous rescue. Also look for other Playskool Heroes Transformers Rescue Bots figures to build a rescue team. (Other figures each sold separately. Subject to availability.)
• Includes figure.
• Features Optimus Prime, a favorite Transformers Rescue Bots character
• Converts from robot mode to vehicle mode and back
• Transformers Rescue Bots figures are sized right for small hands
• Figure scale: 2.5 inches
• Ages 3-7
• WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD – Small parts may be generated. Not for children under 3 years.

That Optimus at Toy Fair was gray, though. People thought it might be a MorBot.
The blue coloration we see here is definitely newsworthy.
Though, now that we see the figure up close, yeah, dragons is right. The snowplow from the Boulder version of the mold has been retooled into a new truck bumper for Optimus.

I really hope they do the rest! It'd be nice to have them in scale with dino Optimus.
Especially if they all turn out this nicely. Chase looks great, a vast improvement over the tiny version they originally made.

We have seen some of these products before to give us an idea of the aesthetic but the breadth of the Playskool Friends Transfomers toy line was not fuly known yet. Well thanks to a Hasbro update to their site, we now have several new listings and official images. These toys are for the youngest Transformers fans, at 1 and a half years old and over. While they feature certain rescue bot characters, they also feature G1 based characters, like Arcee.

You call them Playskool Transformers, I call them South Park Transformers.

A classic for this kind of stores. At my local Winners, we just can't have a Power Ranger Super Charge zord with his battery. It's always stolen.

I am pleased to discover the jet mode Bumblebee can do something very unusual for a Rescuebot toy - He can raise his arms.
Where has that white coloured Gorilla Rescue Minicon got too - and was he the only new one ?

He's just in disguise. That's why you can't see him.

Those flip-racers are ADORABLE! 
Make me think about improved botshots. I may get some.
Still, what's up with Optimus's barf-green rims?

Sorry, but "improved" isn't the word you're looking for. Think RotF Gravity Bots that don't work properly and do less.-Kanrabat- wrote:Those flip-racers are ADORABLE!

Fellow Seibertronian and Twincast Podcast host Scotty P found the second wave of Rescue Bot Flip Racers today at Toysrus in North Carolina.
For those wondering if these are worth it, here is a short description found on our boards:
ScottyP wrote:Found Blurr at TRU in Cary, NC. Didn't have Sideswipe or Chase, but they're in the same case so they are also out, just sold out at this particular store already.

As most Transformers fans know, Rescue Bots is Hasbro's line of Transformer toys and media meant for the preschool/kindergarten crowd- in the case of the toys, it meant simple (and in most cases, automorph) style transformations. While the cartoon ended last year, the toyline is still going on, as evidenced by the latest sightings, from Seibertron's very own ScottyP and ScottimusPrime; the latter of whom who has sent us the photographic evidence below. ScottimusPrime sent us his sighting from a Walmart in East Setauket, New York, and ScottyP sent us his sighting from a ToysЯUs in Cary, North Carolina. This would suggest that most regular big-box retailers will be carrying this particular wave. If you're a Rescue Bots fan, but don't plan on hunting for these, at least one of our sponsors, Big Bad Toy Store, has them up for preorder.
If you have any sightings of new figures, please let us know with a quick email to news@seibertron.com, with a photo of said sighting attached. Thanks to ScottyP and ScottimusPrime for the heads up!

Interestingly, I didn't notice this until after it was posted, but that Optimus figure in this wave looks very Hot Spot-ish, deco-wise.
