Transformers: Rescue Bots Quick Dig Boulder and Epic Optimus Prime at US Retail

I love this Boulder toy. He's huge for a $20 toy. Total brick house, but in a good way.

What's more is this is the second toy to be called "Epic Optimus Prime". The first was two feet tall, even.

Epic Optimus Prime 2: Energon Boogaloo.

The irony of the second Epic Optimus Prime figure being pint-sized compared to the first.

Two brand new Transformers Rescue Bots toys have been listed on Amazon.com. Figures of Optimus Prime and Heatwave appear on the site as available for purchase. These appear to be very similar to the rest of the Rescue Bots line in terms of how they transform. We can tell that these will be simple and fun toys for kids. In the images below you will notice that Heatwave transforms into a indy race car rather than his usual firetruck mode. Have a look and tell us what you think.

If you enjoy Rescue Bots you should check out the new show that is coming out this fall!

I guess you could say its a... hot rod.



Emerje

Well, I guess if Red Alert gets to be a fire chief's Lamborghini, then Heatwave can be a race car too. Fun looking toys BTW

Dont know if its an intentional homage or not, but that heatwave have the same colour scheme as diaclone Mirage

That or it's part of the show. I admit as much as I enjoy RB I haven't had the time to netflix and binge the last season.

Do you have proof otherwise? If so, I'd enjoy seeing it! ^.^ Also, I am a thirteen-year-old girl myself. My little brother is the only actual little kid I know who's a boy that likes Transformers.

That wasn't being a dick bud, that was just sarcasm about the fact I don't believe her, and I still don't.

As for Proof, go to a Botcon or a TFCon, all the proof you need is there.

Well if you think I have then message me with the names of the threads and the posts. Considering I only follow 4 or 5 posts, you're wrong.

Allow me to clarify my point- I didn't say there were more girls than boys in the Transformer fandom. In fact, I'm almost certain the majority are males. I simply stated that, out of those I know personally (not online, not because they're "popular" or "famous", but people I talk to constantly face-to-face), there are more girls in my circle that like Transformers than boys.

My reasoning for this? I'm a girl, and I tend to associate with girls more than I do boys (with some exceptions). My town is also a very small place. Plus, the majority of my family is female. I also don't enjoy socializing that much, so I don't talk to as many people as most do. I'm sure there are more boy TF fans around in my town, but I have yet to meet them. I never once said there are more girls in the fandom than boys. I'm sure if I went to a Con, there would be a lot more boys, but I don't have much money, and that's far too many people in one place for my liking.

Also, I should be thanking you- having a debate with someone was an assignment for my World Studies class, and my teacher says they'll count this! So, thanks!

Well I hope you get a good mark

When a staff member says "back on topic", that doesn't mean, "keep posting off-topic".

You both get warnings.

P.S. BACK ON TOPIC.

We have known that Knight Watch Optimus Prime was in stock at HTS. However if you prefer to purchase items in person then you will be happy to know that one of our readers has found Knight Watch Optimus at Meijer in Westland, Michigan for 24.99. They were nice enough to take a few pics to get a good look at what this figure is really like. It appears he comes packaged with Lance the raptor-bot and Scale the Shield-bot (Whom resembles an ankylosaurus for my fellow dinosaur enthusiasts). Optimus himself transforms from brave knight to T-rex.

Have a look at the pics below and if you find anything new please let us know or use our sightings page.

I need to get that dragon Heatwave for my little guy. It's still not out in Canada yet.

While waiting for the new Rescue Bots Academy themed toys to come out, Hasbro and Playskool are still releasing product to have toys and the brand present on the shelves. The latest wave is indeed filled with previously released toys but it's another chance for parents or fans to get these molds in these colours.

Scottmus Prime found this wave at Central Islip Target in Long Island, New York. It is made up of :

- Sports car Bumblebee and Blades, both reissues
- Heat Wave in a red racecar alt mode (similar to diaclone Mirage), this is the first time this toy is available outside Amazon.
- ATV Bumblebee, which is a redeco of the ATV Bumblebee that came in the Bumblebee Rescue Team set which included an actual robot griffin Transformer.

Thuoght that first Bee was Longview from the 2007 movie Real Gear Robots at first glance.

Bee's head shape makes him look like Wheeljack on the box, yet he does not as a toy.

Nice to see Jolt get a new figure.

Amazon has a new 3 pack available for parents and Rescue Bots fans. The 3 figures in it have all been released before but this gives us another chance to get them. There are slight differences to the previous releases as well. Here is a breakdown of what the 3 pack entails and what is new:

Optimus is the 2011 tooling with a new paint app (white stripe on the chest + logo) and a silver version of the accessory that came with the Energize version.

Heatwave and Chase look to have figures unchanged from their Energize releases, with Chase also having a silver colored accessory as opposed to the clear blue.

They are packaged in a non embellished brown box which has been a trend on these Rescue Bot toys found on Amazon.

The 3 pack is available right now for $44.99.

They're rereleasing the larger scale now? Kind of silly.

The photographers also still can't get correct transformations. Heatwave's feet aren't transformed.

These are larger? That makes sense, I found the price quite high for a three pack

Yeah, these are the old first-release molds from 2011-2013.

Yep, these are about an inch taller and are have very different headsculpts from the cartoon. But again, why are they rereleasing toys from a cartoon they cancelled?

kurthy wrote:But again, why are they rereleasing toys from a cartoon they cancelled?

Gotta keep the toyline alive until the sequel series comes out.

Yeah, thats the way I see it. Just keeping products available. The show is still on Netflix and can readily be seen and its easy to repackage old product to have it available for any purpose.

Live from the Hasbro floor at San Diego Comic Con, we have our next round of reveal from the Transformers Rescue Bots line! We learn of upcoming blind bag figures similar to the Tiny Titans we got in the Robots in Disguise line. The highlight is a new big bumblebee toy that can interact with a smaller blue bot. We also see a dog robot in a ravage inspired deco along with more flip bots. If you spot other new items, please share it on the boards. This is just the preview night so we will probably get more from Rescue Bots as SDCC continues so keep and eye out on the site!

Is that a heatwave remold of morbot?

The Two Dogs are Bumblebee's Partners - the official images of these were previously released.

I wonder if he oil drums and fire hydrant has something to do with the flipbots.

The radial Plane Optimus is unusual as is the Bumblebee Monster Truck - never actually seen a flip bot for sale however so I wouldn't know what was new - they'd all be new to me.

Heatwave racer was spotted a while back but he seems very poorly distributed - but perhaps the refresh wave with blades in will make him more available - there is a brand new Optimus Truck in that wave too that no one seems to notice is new too.

I expect that new Bee to ship soon as he screams X-Mas toy (more than Likely he will be in the new Argos Catalogue)

The radial plane Optimus was allegedly released earlier as part of the Griffin Rock Extreme Team set. However, I don't know if it was ever actually for sale. I never saw it in any stores, nor in stock online. So hopefully we can actually get our hands on this mold now.

Really thought they'd show something from "My Rescue Bots Academia" by now.

To be honest, if there's a character in Rescue Bots Academy that's even half as sweet as Uraraka, you can count me all-in on this show.

Thanks to a sighting from our very own Podmaster of the Podcasters ScottyP, we have a new sighting for a unique toy with one of the greatest names in Transformers history. The new toy in question is Rescue Bots Bumblebee Rescue Guard with his little pals Growler the K-9 bot, and Sergeant Slobber(!!). This set of figures was spotted at the Target in Apex, North Carolina for the price of $29.99. With as long as Rescue Bots has been going, and with the way it plans to keep going thanks to toys and the new Rescue Bots Academy set to come out, it is really cool to see new toys and new character keep finding their way to us.

Of note with this new figure, these are not your normal Rescue Bot sized figure. ScottyP took note of the face that Growler and Sergeant Slobber are about twice the size of the normal Rescue Bots minicons, so these are toys with some mass to them.

Check out the image below, and let us know if you intend to hunt down these Rescue Bots!
