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!

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!

[Apologies for the double post but I want this to be visible]

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

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?siteid=0&pub=5574891718&campid=5336631220&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2F112400868766%3F

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 :

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!

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. :lol:

Posted by RAR on May 18th, 2017 @ 8:29am CDT

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.

Includes robot figure.

• Silverback the Gorilla-Bot figure converts from gorilla mode to jackhammer mode
• Easy 2 Do conversion

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.

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!

Quickshadow and Salvage I spotted as online listing the other week (in the UK) but If they had Boulder I didn't see him.

If they sold them with a fully articulated Human mini-figure and a weapon-tool you could also use on the normal size toys - they'd be worth considering more closely than I do at the moment.

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.

Rescue Bots Flip Racers Griffin Rock Construction Team

Rescue Bots Flip Racers Griffin Rock Racing Team

Here are the product summaries of each team along with images of each team below:

Strong and tough, the Rescue Bots Flip Racers Griffin Rock Construction Team paves the way to the rescue! Sized right for little hands, 3 awesome Flip Racers figures--Boulder the Construction-Bot, Mortar, and Salvage—convert from vehicle mode to bot mode 1 easy step! Flip up each figure to convert it to bot mode. Flip them back down to convert the Boulder the Construction-Bot figure into a bulldozer vehicle, Mortar figure into a cement mixer vehicle, and Salvage figure into a garbage truck vehicle. Smooth-rolling wheels help little heroes pretend to roll them to the scene of a rescue in a hurry!

Sleek and speedy, the Rescue Bots Flip Racers Griffin Rock Racing Team zips and zooms to the rescue! Sized right for little hands, 3 awesome Flip Racers figures--Chase the Police-Bot, Blurr, and Sideswipe--convert from vehicle mode to bot mode in 1 easy step! Flip up each figure to convert it to bot mode. Flip them back down to convert the Chase the Police-Bot figure into a police car vehicle and Blurr and Sideswipe figures into race car vehicles.

Directly from the floor at San Diego Comic Con 2017, site owner Seibertron is providing us images of the display area at the Hasbro booth where they had a nice display of Transformers Rescue Bots toys. What we can see for now are all previously revealed toys such as Optimus Prime Racing Track Trailer, Flip Racers Multipacks (which just became available for ordering), Knight Watch Bumblebeen, race track playsets. We have images of the display below and you can reach the full gallery of said display by clicking any image.

These are only the initial images, of course, expect the full Seibertron.com treatment as the event continues with actual reveals across the weekend, with the Hasbro Breakfast Press event Thursday morning, panel coverage on Friday and Saturday, and follow-ups with official images and more!

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).

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.

$26.99, but 15% off for the time being makes for a good price. Kinda want it, might go back and get it.

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!
