Released in the eighth year of the European-market Transformers toyline (and the final one to use the original faction symbols), the Rescue Force are redecos of four out of the six Takara Breastforce Liokaiser components, but without their breastplate-partners and other accessories (with one exception, shown at right). Instead, all-new weapons were cast for each one, with these mostly being more "rescue tool"-themed than "kill things"-themed. Since the toys' combination gimmick is built-in rather than needing extra parts, you can attach them to form "Big Rescue Force"... but you end up with an armless robot whose head is nothing more than a mouthplate. Which is kinda funny, admittedly.
These toys also have two (technically three) different versions. Initial releases of the toys have their faces painted the same colors as their Breastforce forebears, and come with silver-plastic accessories. Much more common are the silver-faced versions, which could come with accessories in either the original silver or in dark red (the latter seemingly being more common).
All four Rescue Force vehicles were sold individually, but used a shared card design without any form of individual identifier, and transformation instructions for all four toys on the back (and also completely ignore the toys' combination ability, for obvious reasons). They were only available in European and Australian markets in 1992, alongside similarly-individually-nameless releases of the Constructicons.
