When it rains sightings, it certainly pours. This analogy may imply that we're getting soaked in our news cycle today, but this ain't Sea World, it's as real as it gets because now we have Rescue Bots toy sighting news to report.

Yours truly stopped in to the local Toys R US in Raleigh, NC today and spotted the Transformers: Rescue Bots High Tide Rescue Rig, as well as the Tunnel Rescue Drill Set and Shark Sub Capture Set previously only known to be available on Amazon.

It'll run you $29.99 plus tax to party it up on High Tide's boat, and the Rescue Drill and Shark Sub were too busy flipping burgers so I didn't scan them to get the price, but it's likely comparable to Amazon. Probably.

If you see any new toys at retail that we haven't made a news post about yet, and they're still, well, new, be sure to let our News Crew know here, and if you see these particular toys locally be sure to let your fellow collectors know in your local Sightings Thread

Sadly, I've heard that such a day will likely be a long time coming.

I'm just hoping we at least get a transforming version of High Tide's super mode before it's all over. Not that I'm dissing the current High Tide toy, I'd just like one that does that particular thing.

It's been a while since we have had some new Transformers Rescue Bots toy news. Thanks to the Hasbro.com, we have the first looks at the new Chase The Police-Bot and Blades The Flight-Bot and also Mr. Potato Head Heatwave The Fire-Bot and Mr. Potato Head Boulder The Construction-Bot in-package shots. Look for these to be release soon.

Blades appears to be sculpted more show-accurately. Chase, on the other hand...

Both could use more paint apps as well.

Probably not Masterpiece, since Takara handles those and I don't think Rescue Bots airs in Japan.

But if they did make Masterpiece Rescue Bots, I'd be hoping for Energize Gear and Burnses (or Greenes) that can drive them

We have a new Transformers Rescue Bots sighting coming at you from Mount Prospect, IL. Chase and Blades were found at a Walmart there by Seibertron. We actually got our first look at these guys a few months ago on the Hasbro website. If you are in need of a new Rescue Bots toy fix then it wouldn't hurt to head on down to your local Walmart and see if these guys are in stock. If you have a new toy sighting then use the Contact Us link at the top right hand corner and let us know so we can spread the word.

Chase has some room for improvement, but Blades actually looks pretty neat.

Re: Transformers: Rescue Bots High Tide Rescue Rig and New Vehicle Sets at US Retail (1740112)
Posted by Sabrblade on November 8th, 2015 @ 9:27pm CST

I got an email notification for this thread, but clicking any link to it from the email brought me to a "ERROR 404: PAGE NOT FOUND" page. Had to get here the old-fashioned way instead.

Anyway, like I said before, Blades looks superbly show-accurate in his new mold, but Chase's new mold seems more like a halfhearted attempt. And both could use a lot more paint, which is unfortunate considering how their cartoon models really aren't that super-detailed in their color schemes.

These are new molds that are much smaller than the originals, being the size of the Rescan figures, and are more show-accurate in their sculpting being more closely based on the cartoon models.

Correct. Just like the most of the transforming figures of this line.

There's no doubt that some Seibertronians are going to be out and about doing some holiday shopping over the next week and a half. If you've got a young Rescue Bots fan on your list to tide over next week, it looks like the current is in your favor as the Transformers: Rescue Bots Epic Figure, High Tide, is out at US retail. This was found by yours truly yesterday at a Target store in Raleigh, NC for the oddball price of $10.19.

These non-transforming figures aren't widely sought by collectors, but they interact with other Playskool heroes figures and accessories, so this may be a fun addition for the young fan in your life. Don't forget to contact our news team when you see sightings that haven't hit our front page yet, and as always keep your browser anchored here to Seibertron.com for all the latest.

The RB Epic figures are the only Titan Hero-esuqe figures I buy due to A) their added level of interactivity with other figures in the line via their chest cockpits, and B) their not completely lacking in painted color.

It's nice to see that some people found those new Transforming Minicon pet things - and the mini-building that also come with similar (but slightly smaller) pets - they are really cute.

The buildings are ringing up on till at $19.99 but the tiny mini-figures are coming up as $14.99 - the people buying them have been point out how this isn't consistent with other similar products and haggled this down to $4.99 though - I would guess they are suppose to be the same size /price as a RID Minicon though - 8-}

so I have no idea why they got put in the system at $14.99.

My criticisms remain the same that they always are though but my general comments would be.

1) Human Articulation - The mini-figures in a playset at least really should be articulated to a better standard - for practical reasons if no other reasons it makes sense to make them able to sit down or raise their arms for the humans - and they have done this with a single Cody figure so far.

2) Paint : this seems a bit better that they have been - better than the Rescue Dinobots anyway.

3) I wish more Rescue Bot robots could raise their arms to use the tools / weapons more effectively as it stands only a tiny minority can do that properly - that shows bad cross branding in my view.

Over all though I like them - I hope they show up in the UK too.

-----

If anyone gets them I'd be interested to see a photo of the cross-sell on the back of the boxes and also any info on if the mini-building do anything or connect to each other or previous playsets at all.

It's a new year and we have new Transformers Rescue Bots toy sightings. This sighting comes to us from Target in Raleigh, NC where Twincast Podcaster ScottyP sends us images of the Griffin Rock Garage playset for $19.99 and also Drake & Servo for $14.99. The price for Drake and Servo may be a mistake since Hasbro MSRP on these guys is $4.99. If you have a new toy sighting near you, please drop us a line at Sightings@Seibertron.com with a picture of your new find. You can also check out our Toys Sighting Forum to see what other collectors near you have found.

Fellow Seibertronian Survivefan23 reached out to us with a fun discovery. He sent us a picture of the back of the recent Hook & Ladder Heatwave which shows a new reveal.

That robot circled in red has never been seen before. It shares the same type of mold as Medix the Doc-Bot (shown below for reference) and Survivefan23 thinks this might be our first look at the female Rescue Bot that was teased a while ago. This could just be another toy only character (like Medix) or anther version of Medix.

Who do you think this new bot is? Let us know!

I talked with the creators of the show through their Facebook page. They wouldn't say much. They said that they think Hasbro is using the same mold. I told them they're wrong. Maybe when Toy Fair comes next month, if it does show up there, maybe someone can ask them who it is.

Why would you say its not the same mold when it clearly is?

Could be a different character but its the same mold.

I think that just comes to show that there isnt that much communication or synergy between the show creators and the toy makers. Its just another version of medix then or a toy only character, not something related to the show itself.

I own the newer versions of Chase & Blades and when I compared them to the older versions, the newer ones are a bit smaller.

This does not look like medics to me, it shares some of the same engineering, but the chest cab does not look right. I'm willing to be wrong, but to me this figures cab is a rectangular block taking up most of the chest. Whereas with medics, the cab knows with the upper part of the chest and the cab window hit around the diaphragm area. Something about the shoulders doesn't look quite right either either, but that could be the neon green paint highlighting parts that were otherwise less obvious when they were gray. As I said though, I am more than willing to be wrong, & I am trying to look at a blurry picture on a phone. Would be exciting if this was a new TV character. I realize for multiple very good reasons, RESCUE BOTS has been keeping at the cast small, but there have been several very good toys for the level of engineering going 4, that I for one would love to see a cameo of.

Via fellow Seibertronian Survivefan23 We now have pictures of the new Rescue Bot wave that features Boulder, Bumblebee, Heatwave, and Medix! These were found on Entertainment Earth, and are currently in stock! Medix appears to be sporting a brand new head sculpt while the other characters are receiving new show accurate heads. Does this mean that she is finally meant to appear in the show? Or is this just a new toy? Sound off in the comments section below with your opinion on this latest new toy.

Re: Transformers: Rescue Bots High Tide Rescue Rig and New Vehicle Sets at US Retail (1757640)
Posted by Sabrblade on January 20th, 2016 @ 1:52pm CST

Medix is the only new toy shown there. The other three are previously-released figures, and Heatwave is a different kind of figure altogether from the others.

When did we find out Medix was female? I missed it.

And wouldn't that Medix likely be a new mold rather than a retool, since the first was at the original, larger size, while this would be one of the current, smaller type?

There's been no confirmation. Just some word that season 4 will have a female Rescue Bot and folks suspecting it to be Medix (which I and others hope isn't the case since the female being the medic of her team is very stereotypical and cliche; and since Blades is already that team's medic).

The new Boulder is his original body instead of the dump truck, in the smaller "Rescan" class size.

The new Medix is the smaller "Rescan" version. I'm assuming we'll get Hoist as well now.

The Optimus toy is just a repaint of the robot from the Trailer + Cab set that came out a few years ago. Probably just to keep an Optimus on the shelves!

High Tide's leg's are an ugly, cheap-looking, hollow mess, but his homage to Omega Supreme and under-$30.00 price make him a definite maybe. A transparent-blue visor/face-shield and better articulation on the claw-arms would have been welcome, and too bad he doesn't actually float, either. He would have made a fun tub-toy, or swimming-pool toy for the kids. Since I first saw this, I thought Hide Tide's Omega Supreme mode would have made a great design for a large playset. He could have been as large as the Imaginext Batcave or MegaZord sets and included lights, sounds/speech fx and room for the Deluxes or mini-fig Burns family. Oh Hasbro, not another missed opportunity for awesomeness...

Is the Optimus the same enlarged mold from the trailer set, or is it even larger? If so, it could have at least not had such such simple painted-on fingers/hands; even the early Rescue Hero Prime had pop-out fists. These are for children, yes, but kids have standards too. :roll:

Posted by Zeedust on January 25th, 2016 @ 8:13pm CST

Boulder looks like he's a basically unchanged downscaling of his original figure. Not a bad thing, though; his first toy matches his cartoon appearance quite well and hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if at some point we got a High Tide that combines with the ship like he does on the show, but for now I guess I'll take what I can get.

Well Medix and Hoist are just toy filler considering that the actual show crew has no Medic or a tow truck.

I know why Medix exists I'm wondering why someone who has no real show appearance has another remold with a new head it's like if they took Prime Hot Shot a character with no show appearance and just released him with a new head especially since they could just do that to Bumblebee or just make a new guy.

It's just weird thats all I would not be confused if this was a new character but it's Medix with a new paint job and head.

Well, since the toyline originally wasn't supposed to have a show, one could argue that the original toys of Heatwave, Chase, Blades, Boulder, Bumblebee, and Optimus were all in the same boat as those of Hoist and Medix before the show came along and made the Original 6 more relevant than the latter two.

Wow Rescue bots as a toyline is getting pretty interesting (I'm a watcher of the show so it's always interesting to me just that the toyline left much to be desired for me)

Question who was the yellow race car guy was that Bumblebee in a new form or a new guy?

You forgot Quickshadow!

I was wondering on the yellow car too.

My kids love these, my only gripe is Hasbro had this one chance to actually keep things in scale.. Then for no particular reason they made Salvage (one of the larger bots on tv) like a mini bot, then started shrinking all the bots in general. Well that and half the new "transformer" toys don't actually transform.

I'm pretty excited that we're getting a Mor-Bot.

I'd be more excited if it was the original design and vehicle mode rather than one of seemingly half a dozen Blurr retools this year, but sometimes you just have to take what you can get.

And Cheetor as a power tool makes me happier than I have any reason to be about it. Yay BW homages!

Any chance of pictures or a press release?

I'll see what we can get. My understanding is our crew at the show didn't get the time they would have liked to view the display (overall scheduling, not unique problem to Seibertron.com) so focus was on the Generations and RiD stuff. But yeah, anyways, I'll shoot an email to their PR folks and see what we can get, as a break down of waves/size classes/etc would be nice! Some cool product for Rescue Bots coming down the pipe.

Speaking of cool things coming down the pipe, I really like that four-pack that shows up in the video's background a few times. Rescue Force Sigma-17, the whole original team with their original modes all in one box. Sweet.

We bring you today the Transformers Rescue Bots official images gallery. There are a couple of firsts in these upcoming Rescue Bots toys. Morbot is the first transforming villain Rescue Bots toy while Quickshadow is the first female Rescue Bot. Also if you take a look at Sideswipe he looks like RID Sideswipe in robot mode. You can check out the gallery here or click on the images below.
