Talk:Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)

Everybody is Black AND White

I was at the store today and was stunned to notice for the first time that all the RB Humans were available in Caucasion and African American versions. I had never noticed or heard anyone say this. We don't have it listed on any of the pages that I can see. It seems a pretty noticeable varient thing, yes? --76.28.76.206 22:06, 27 April 2012 (EDT)

Wow, I haven't heard that before. That should definitely be noted in everyone's toy sections. --abates 22:17, 27 April 2012 (EDT)

They had both versions of Cody, and Walker Clevland and one other I forget, but if those 3 are available both ways I would assume the other ones are too. It wasn't a small paint varience or anything either, it was very clearly White Cody and Black Cody ect... --76.28.76.206 22:27, 27 April 2012 (EDT)

Condensing

Okay... looking at this, is there really a point to breaking this up into subsections by year when price-points continue on across multiple years? I can certainly see the benefit to keeping year 1 in its own separate subsection, but once the changeover to the more "Playskool Heroes", show-based stuff happens in year 2... it feels like crunching it all down might be a better move (and will make that TOC a lot less godawful). --M Sipher (talk) 16:37, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

Oh, nah, by all means collapse it. I think I did it like that at the time since Energize and the new alt-modes theme made it seem like each year was going to have its own Thing, but that's not really turned out to be the case going forward. I'd question whether even keep the early stuff separate is worth it -the changes weren't that big in the grand scheme of things. Jalaguy (talk) 17:27, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

Well, I kinda feel the shiftover from its original incarnation and the rolling into the Playskool Heroes branding is notable, but I don't recall offhand if the latter was a year 2 or year 3 thing. I'm not married to either way. --M Sipher (talk) 18:35, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

You could keep the first year separate under a title like "Before the Cartoon", "The Original Toyline", "The Pre-Cartoon Era", or something like that, while rolling the rest of the cartoon-synced line together while also noting somewhere at which point the line became a part of Playskool Heroes. --Sabrblade (talk) 20:56, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

Insignias

I think we should create a version of Bp-a1 and Bp-d1 for the Rescue Bots insignia to make the page in line with other Toyline pages. The Rescue Bots will get their own insignia, MorBot and the Shark Sub can get the Morocco symbol and Optimus, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and High Tide can get the Regular Autobot symbol. I think that would work a lot better than just leaving the symbol blank or using the standard Bot symbol. --AirjitzuRonin 16:43, 20 July 2017 (EDT)
