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!

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.

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!

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 :

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!

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.

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.

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
