I may very well throw more money at the Rescue Bots toy line this year than I will any other product line. It's easy to see where the creative energies were directed in terms of Hasbro's design team since everything else they've shown us so far for their other TF lines has fairly well sucked.
The Rescue Bots however are looking damn cool by comparison.

Also, props to Hasbro for doing something new with Bumblebee. Seems like Rescue Bots is becoming a playground for Hasbro to do new things like make BB into a bike and make OP into a dino, and I'm all for introducing some new ideas like that.

I REALLY wish they were making these new characters instead of "rescans".
Bumblebee could easily be Groove and that design for Prime would make an excellent Gears.
And isn't there already a group of Dinosaur mode Autobots, they could use?
Now, with all that said, I must admit, dino-mode Chase really does look brilliant!

Fireboat Heatwave looks cool.
Motorcycle Bumblebee is a neat idea.
Monster truck Optimus Prime = awesome.
Brachiosaurus Heatwave!!!
But... I don't think it can transform... can it?
Stego-Chase = LOL.
Optimus Primal, ROAR to the Rescue!
And, surprisingly, those 22 inch nontransforming Optimus and Heatwave figures actually look quite appealing. Especially with their interactive playability with the human figures. I may very well pick those up too.

Rescue Dino Bots! I don't (usually) get kiddie toys, but these are tempting.
Police lights -> stegosaurus plates is such an awesome idea! It kinda bugs me that there's just one row of them, but whatever.

I collect these to a point and have bought several from my Autistic son... he LOVES them!!!
My only gripe... The humans...they went from really cool Action Figures to BLEH INACTION figures!!

The big man himself Seibertron stopped by his local Toys "R" Us this evening in Schaumburg, Illinois, and was pleasantly surprised to find the new Rescue Bots "Roar and Rescue" Optimus Primal, Heatwave, and Blades figures! These three characters, based on the same characters from the popular Transformers: Rescue Bots cartoon, are dinosaur-themed, with Optimus Prime Primal taking a surprise twist and transforming into a mechanical Tyrannosaurus rex (with a robot mode not unlike Beast Wars Megatron!), Heatwave transforming into an Apatosaurus, and Blades into a Pteranodon. Check out the visual evidence below, then, if you're into these guys, begin the hunt!

Primal, I will wait on a bit until i see a good sale on him; although he does look pretty awesome.

A while back we reported some initial Transformers Rescue Bots figures showing up at US retail. Thanks to Seibertron.com member zatara1701, we can now report new sighting of new figures from the same line, from a Toys'R'Us store in Humble, Texas! Check out below the two (adorable) dino versions of a T-Rex Optimus Prime and a Raptor Bumblebee, along with some out-of-package images and comparison shots.

While out toy hunting at a Target in Rosemont, Il, site owner Seibertron spotted some new Transformers Rescue Bots on the toy aisle. The figures spotted were Bumblebee & Morbot and Blades The Flight-Bot & Dani Burns. The first three images were the initial sighting image but in true Seibertron fashion, we get treated to a mini gallery of these figures.

Morbot's a tad smaller than it should be, though he didn't shrink as bad as Trex.
But on the plus side, we get Dani, a jettish Blades, and a Bee with 2 hands instead of that screwdriver!
Well, I'm finally going to army-build with preschool toys. I knew this day would come, just not when.

It's the cheeks, isn't it?
I'm gonna just go ahead and be glad we're getting a Dani at all. Already have the other Burnses, so hopefully I'll get a chance to buy her too at some point and have the whole family.
Mini Mor-bot looks okay, but seems less necessary.

Last we saw news about PlaySkool Transformers Rescue Bots Dinobots, the green- and blueosaur were still missing. But thanks to fellow Seibertron.com user Superwheeljack, we have a sighting from a Target in Cincinnati, Ohio, of both minibots Boluder and Chase ($3.99 each)! Check out photo proof below, and if you come across any new figures, make sure to use the right Sightings page, flag it up in a forum, and let us know at sightings@seibertron.com.

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.

These little dudes are so fun. I was totally ready to be done with Rescue Bots forever, but these are just too cute. Plus, now Chase can drive himself.

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.

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.

That's nice, now can we get some info on when season 3 airs? 
Animation looks like it could have come off the show, which is a nice touch. On the other hand, I'm hoping this isn't all there is for the Rescue Dinobots. I'd kind of like to have bigger transforming versions of the Rescue Bots that the show's actually about in their dino modes.

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.Nemesis Primal wrote:Sabrblade wrote: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.Autobot tap out wrote:If prime Optimus prime has a beast mode wouldn't that have been a bit helpful when fighting the cloned predacons?

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.)

I have, and I too hope it doesn't come to that.Nemesis Primal wrote: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.)

Kohl's exclusive? That thing's been at Walmart for months. Discounted down to $24.99, even, since it's been shelfwarming for so long.

And the odd thing about that is, it has "A Kohl's Exclusive" sticker on it. Here's a pic:
Having never seen the other mass release piece, is there any deco difference? or is it literally just the sticker on the package?

It looks dead-on the same as the Walmart pack from last Christmas, no deco difference that I can see even on the mini-figures. Probably was assumed that Walmart had long run out of them (they have around here at least), so they solicited them to Kohl's as an exclusive for this year.

I'd be curious if you could scrub that blue energon deco paint off the front of the cab... or if there are wacky tattoo-style details molded into the front of him. I kinda want a version of this Prime, but would prefer it look more G1.

Looking at mine, the blue Energize tech detailing is indeed painted onto the red plastic, but the Autobot symbol with the ring is molded into the plastic, so removing the blue paint from that might be tricky.gothsaurus wrote:I'd be curious if you could scrub that blue energon deco paint off the front of the cab... or if there are wacky tattoo-style details molded into the front of him.
