Is it just me or does that lion not look particularly lion-y?

Yeah, Hasbro, that's not what a lion looks like.

After the news last week about the Optimus Prime racing trailer - as we had seen with Blurr ('his race car friend') at both Toy Fair and the Hasbro webcast - we have an update on the listing over on Entertainment Earth, with a new stock image. Check it out mirrored below!

As the website TF@TM reported, it looks like Hasbro has registered two trademarks that seem to relate to the TF brand:

1. PLAYSKOOL HEROES, (a trademark already being used by the Rescue Bots line)
and
2. HEROES AT PLAY (a completely new trademark)

Both trademarks have been filed under this category:
“Toy vehicles and accessories for use therewith; toy action figures and accessories for use therewith; toy action figures, toy vehicles and toy robots convertible into other visual toy forms”

What are your thoughts? Is the "Heroes at Play" Trademark a potential new sub-line for Rescue Bots? Discuss below!

And as always, keep your optics and audio sensors tuned to Seibertron.com, your best source on the net for Transformers news!

"Heroes at Play" sounds more like a slogan than a toy line. Either that or I'm picturing superheroes as kids on a playground.

"Heroes At Play" almost sounds like it might be a name for a line of role-play toys, like costumes and Nerf-type guns.

Glarryg

When I search for "heroes at play" + hasbro I get a bunch of kiddie looking super heroes.

This was the only TF looking thing I could find - which looks old to me so I think that what we are getting is not exactly this pic.

It's probably something similar to "Play skool heroes". I do hope it is a nerf gun rather than bad looking mini figs that don't do anything.

Continuing with the galleries from opening night of San Diego Comic Con, we give to you our new gallery featuring the Rescue bots. These rescue bots show off the new High Tide and Salvage molds, which are newly upscaled. Also seen are Quickshadow, Morbot, and the vehicle mode for the new Chase. Now, these are all figures that have been revealed before, and tomorrow night is when the new reveals shall be shown off, so stay tuned and check out some of the images below.

I am actually surprised that a line without Decepticons has gone on this long. Not that I'm complaining, of the few episodes I've seen they actually come up with some pretty creative disasters.

Well, it is over in the Playskool aisle with all the toys that don't need bad guys. Preschool toys in general seem to get along well enough if they prove fun enough for the young'uns.

I got that Fire Station on Prime Day not realizing how big it was. Had assumed it'd come with a cool new animal Targetmaster but it didn't. That said, it's actually super fun, and worth it just for the ground bridge.

Hey Seibertronians! A bit of Rescue Bots news for you tonight. We saw it at Comic Con, we saw it online, but for some reason no one had seen the Rescue Bots Griffin Rock Fire House Playset at a brick and mortar store!. But wait no longer! It's been spotted by Yours truly at the Council Tree Target in Fort Collins, Colorado. Check it out below!

What are your thoughts on this plays at? Does that cool spacebridge sway your opinion one way or another? Have you already seems this at retail? Let us know below!

The Fire House is in the new UK Argos catalogue and a few other UK online listings too. but as it costs £50.00 i'll wait for a sale since the boat got reduced to £15.00 I'll wait a bit.

I'm very disappointed that the large Playsets do not come with more articulated figures and and Transforming pet-figure just to make them more appealing.

I think adding articulation is a good reason to make people buy the characters again. and the lack of joints does limit them a bit compared to the previous (pre-cartoon) stuff

Does anyone remember one of the toy shows they showed a reissue of the previous larger Rescue bots (not the smaller ones) I remember noticing as it was the 1st time there had been chase that size with the blue colouring that didn't have the clear pieces as well.

Did they ever get released at retail. ?

Though i'd ask as this boxed set reminded me.

-----------

As for the above set if they are just repacks it's likely cheaper to buy the Rescue bots in the two for £15.00 deals for a UKSTER

We bring to you on this fine Saturday news of a new Rescue Bots Sighting.

There is a new unknown Rescue Bots rescan figure with an ATV alt mode found in the "crane" of Rescue Bots Megabots Copter Crane Blades on the back of his package. It seems to be a transforming figure. What do you make of it? Here are some images of the back of the box and the asterix next to the toy states that the figure is to be sold seperately.

It makes me of Sureshock from Armada/Energon. If that's who it is, then it's homage of the year.

If not, I'd guess Cliffjumper, namely because I'm crazy.

I think he was making a joke. It looks nothing like the toy in the pic and its just a BB themed kids vehicle.
