Rescue Bots Sequioa Spotted at US Retail

I'm going to guess it's a new alt mode Optimus Prime considering he's between two other guys with new alt modes and is blue in back and red in front (with silver armor).

The mould is the same mould as Boulder (the one that comes with Graham in a furry hood parka) I get a strong Morebot vibe from the colours though myself.

They could have potentially come up with a story to say it's a reformatted scrapbot too I guess.

I'd agree that it looks like Prime as some kind of snow plow. Though the plow part is looking kinda flat. An armored truck seems too "combat orientated" for Rescue Bots so I don't think it's going to be used for ramming anything.

looking at the details it seems to be a slight remould of Boulder's snowplow mode.

But some of the surface details are different - like the shape of the bumper/blade and sides of the legs for example.

Those gas tanks on the side of the legs are slightly suggestive of Optimus Prime though I still think it looks rather like a new kind of Morebot.

It also has wheels instead of treads. Wouldn't it be strange to give a MorBot Prime's colors when normally they're silver and purple?

There's not that much purple in the color scheme of a normal MorBot:



The MorBot 2.0 had more purple on it, but that one was based on a preexisting toy that used more purple than the normal MorBots did.

Have you been eyeing the new Rescue Bots Brushfire figure and aren't quite sure whether it would fit in your collection? Well, we might have the perfect thing for you, thanks to Scottimus Prime and his Toy Hunter Productions! Check out his video review of the figure below, and tell us if it changed your opinion of the figure!

I'm digging the orange on the figure.

I got one already - I hope the rescue Minicons get discounted soon too - as Those look flipping adorable and long-term useful too.

Sequoia looks like a great complement to Brushfire.

Sequoia is meant for Brushfire, but my kids use him with the original Rescue Bots Medix.

I just bought a Boulder - Dump Truck and I notice he has Black Wheels but all the images I see online he has green wheels.

Is there a variation or did they change the wheels either before release or as a running change ?

Just wondering.

Via fellow Seibertronian and database updater ScottyP, we have stock images (courtesy of Walmart) for two new Transformers: Rescue Bots Bumblebee figures! One looks very much like the jet-based design seen at Toy Fair NY 2017 (check out the gallery here), while the other is a BumbleRaptor called Night Raptor. They will be joining a repaint of the Optimus Prime T-Rex figure, and a new Heatwave dragon (also seen at Toy Fair) for an upcoming wave - check them out below!

If you come across any of these, or indeed other toys, make sure to use out Sightings Database tool to help out fellow collectors, and happy hunting!

both Prime and Bee had Grimlock envy?

Heh, Bumblebee's an MCU Quinjet!

I'm a tiny bit disappointed Heatwave is the Dragon I was hopping it would be Twinferno.

In other news at carboot sale this long week end I got a Giant Titanmaster Prime Bee then I got a slightly smaller but still huge Blades Titan and then I got Aerobot - so that was a young-slanted series of finds - and I got loads more besides.

OMG You're right! I want more out of this now! Maybe not Bee, but I would love a modern Marvel Crossover.

But we saw at Toy Fair that the dragon only has one head.

You must be thinking of something else.

He's a doubleheader just like in the picture from the news.

D'oh! I had Drake on the brain at the time.

I actually like the looks of that bumble-stealth-raptor thing. it looks neat!

The UK seems to be getting it's chance at some ATV-bot action as, thanks to TFW2005 user Underlord, we know that Rescue Bots Brushfire has been seen at UK retail! The new Griffin Rock bot was spotted at Morrison's for £10. Check out the photographic evidence below!

I saw him in the same morrisons and was going to send you guys it!

Fellow Seibertronians, following up from their recent discovery, it would seem that this new wave of Rescue Bots are already making their way to retail shelves. TFW2005 member ahchu managed to find both Twinferno Heatwave and Optimus Prime at a Walgreens in Danville, California, as can be seen below. So, now that we know they're out there, are any of you going to set back out on the hunt, let us know in the comments below.

In case I didn't mention it my Brushfire came from Argos.

Oh and I also got Sequoia and they do work quite well together.

When I have time i'll take some pics.

Also Smyths have a listing up for those small 3 packs of auto-transforming Rescuebots - that are somewhat like Botshots cross with Gravity bots.

I also hear B&M Bargains are selling the pull back and go Racecar Bee and Sideswipe - though I've not seen them myself yet.

After seeing the Combiner Force Trail with Blurr in it - I hope I can get that Blue Blurr and Optimus with Trailer set at a good price sometime too.

Were you interested in any of those new Rescue Bots Toys we saw stock images of a couple days ago? Your time to pick one or two up might come sooner than later, as all four are available now on Hasbro Toy Shop! Yes, in addition to the Last Knight toys, HTS has something new for the tiniest Seibertronians among us, as well. You can order Jet and Raptor Bumblebee, Dragon Heatwave and Dino Optimus Prime here!

But who is the world's smallest seiberforming seibertronian?

I saw a Brushguard in Stowmarket (UK) Branch of ASDA on Saturday so he's about a few places now it seems.

Continuing on with our sightings, Ozformers also reports that many new Rescue Bots products have made their way to their stores. The new products include the Flip Changers (the single and the 3-packs), the two Rescue Team multi-packs, and the third wave of the Friends/Minicons (Swift the cheetah and Fireplug the dog). You can check out the products in the images below, and you can head on out and begin your hunt for the latest Rescue Bots toys!

Those Rescue Bots we were talking about earlier have a Smyths listing now :

I just wanted to pass on an eBay offer that might be useful :

Item # 112400868766
BY ; usamobile-co

NEW Playskool Transformers Rescue Bots 4PK Fireplug Cheetah-Bot Servo 6TS6zg1

(there are a number of similar ones described that you can find on a bunch of regional eBays).

I'm mentioning this one as I managed to sweet talk them into accepting an offer price on the item that got it under £14.99 (equivalent in USD$)

I had to try a bunch of them to get this but for UK board members for customs reasons this might be useful.

4 Rescue Minicons for an OK price - they should work out more of less the same as the eventual Entertainer sales would. and The Entertainer don't have all of them anyway.

And remember these Minicons are compatible with normal Transformers too.

Today, thanks to a user off of TFW, we know that the new Rescue Bots mini-con Swift has been found at US retail! While we saw wave mate Sequoia hit retail about a month ago, we have yet to see Swift on shelves until today! Check out the pictures below, confirming he's going for the running rate for these figures; $4.99 USD.

You can get a set of 4 cheapish (look at the post I placed above) Along with the two dogs and the Lion.

I really must get the police station with husky before they vanish - but I have not got around to it yet - now I have ordered 4 Plus the Sequoia I already have (and the dog I already have from the Garage playset) I just need to get the red Dragon and the two new dragons sold with the new Bumblebee that just got a listing : Transformers Rescue Bots Knight Watch Bumblebee :





http://www.argos.co.uk/product/7073353

Seibertronian RAR has pointed us toward a new listing on the Argos website for Transformers Rescue Bots Knight Watch Bumblebee! We previously saw this version of Bee at Toy Fair, but this is the first we've seen of a listing for the figure as well as stock photography! The description illustrates how Bumblebee can turn into a dragon, and his two Mini-con buddies can combine into his battle axe. The description also strangely mentions that, even though the figure is part of the Rescue Bots toy line, he was "inspired by the New Transformers Movie". Take that as you will, here's some of the stock photos for the figure, and you can click on either of them to be taken to the Argos listing!

If you can fit the minicons in the dragon's mouth, I'm in.

HEY the arms move. That seems to be rare for RB toys.

So cute.

I love the sheer novelty of a Bumblebee that turns into a dragon, who's double-ended battle axe splits into a fire and ice dragons. I'd have gone nuts for this toy as a kid.

I might need to track that one down. It actually looks pretty awesome!

Nah! i'd rather have Brushfire quad bike

Well my 4 for just under $20 / £15.00 Rescue Minicons arrived in only 8 days from the USA.

The short of it is if you only get one - Get Sequoia (or perhaps Drake)

But as to the others :

SWIFT : The Cheetah-bot : Well he has no joints aside from his tail which is a bit disappointing being able to fold his legs up would have helped a lot - but his mechanism to rotate the hex-nut on a car wheel is fine and works up both ways - he's more sized to a larger bot though . as a standing piece in cheetah mode he looks nice though. Perhaps needed a little paint on the back legs though

Fireplug : (no sub-title on this one) looks nice enough as a Dalmatian. Transforms easily - no real joints in dog mode be he displays well and is decently painted. - has storage for the water effects part semi-recommended - but might be better value bought with the playset

Servo ( I could swear I saw this listed as DUKE somewhere).
modestly painted looks decent from a distance - but looks a little gappy up close. Nice dog face the drill spins nicely - but only works one way up and unfortunately that is the way that look worst - his tail is a little short that might cause some problems with him being held.
So buy him mainly if you want to give Codie or Boulder a dog.

VALOR : The Lion-Bot (though he actually looks a lot like a Bulldog)
The mechanism looks a bit naff on his claw mode and he's very gappy due to the way he transforms - but he goes nicely with chase - the tail and handle do kinda have some issue with the way they move that they get in each others way a bit and the handle doesn't really do anything more than just sit there in beast mode. Looks OK from a middle-distance and if they ever make a Mega-Chase he'd probably look good with that.

Overall I'm pleased with them - I bought them mainly for their animal modes and they look nice in beast mode - so i'm happy.
Price was good and I will do my best to complete the collection with Bee's two little dragons and the police playset Husky dog/motorcycle & Drake who I have to get yet.

Probably one of the coolest Transformers: Rescue Bots toys has finally been found at retail. Rescue Bots Knight Watch Bumblebee turns from 3 dragons into Bumblebee wielding both a knight's shield and a staff made of the two other dragons. It has been found all across Canada at different toysrus location with this specific sighting below coming from Montreal, Quebec. The toy is selling for around $37.00 CDN. We can also see it in packaging with images of the back of the box, enjoy!

If you find this item or other Transformers toys, be sure to make a note of it in our sightings section to help out the community.

The two little dragons are named Freezer Burn (the blue one) and Windblaze (the red one).

It's funny how both of their names could work for either one of them.

Why is Bumblebee suddenly Daigunder?

Silverback the Gorilla-Bot

Seemingly out of nowhere, fellow Seibertronian Sabrblade has spotted a new Transformers: Rescue Bots Mini-Con character and toy over on the Hasbro Transformers page: Silverback the Gorilla-Bot! Check out below the full description and stock images!

The Transformers Rescue Bots Mini-Con figures are ready to partner up for the rescue! Silverback the Gorilla-Bot demolishes the toughest obstacles to save the day! When emergency strikes, little heroes can easily convert Silverback the Gorilla-Bot figure from gorilla mode to jackhammer mode! Push the jackhammer button for hammering action! To extend the fun, attach the jackhammer to a Boulder the Construction-Bot figure or other Rescue Bots figures. (Boulder figure and other figures each sold separately. Subject to availability.)

Includes robot figure.

• Silverback the Gorilla-Bot figure converts from gorilla mode to jackhammer mode
• Easy 2 Do conversion
• Push button on the jackhammer for hammering action
• Jackhammer can be attached to Boulder the Construction-Bot or other Rescue Bots figures (Boulder figure and other figures each sold separately. Subject to availability.)
• Sized right for little hands

Action figure scale: 2.5 inches

• Ages 3 to 7

Neat - I'll get that when they show up on eBay.

I wonder what the Jackhammer mode would look like interacting with the Snow-plow Boulder toy.

Also on the Transformers section of the Hasbro site is this oddity :

https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/p ... 582BE4AA0B

Remember back a while ago when we found some online listings for the new Rescue Bots Epic Figures collection? Well, it appears as though they have finally made it to stores! Yours truly found these with a decently sized Transformers Display earlier today, labeled at a $9.97 price point, and they include Bumblebee (not seen), Boulder, Salvage, and Quickshadow. They are similar to the large shampoo-styled bots that have been showing up in the Robots in Disguise and movie lines. Check them out below!

Aha, they finally made a Quickshadow, eh? That's new.

In this class size. She has a regular toy in the line already.

That's what I was referring to. That one's the news here.

I own her transformable toy.
