The ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Transformers: Rescue Bots]]'' toyline is released under [[Hasbro]]'s ''[[Playskool Heroes]]'' brand, the latest of many ''Transformers'' lines to be aimed at the preschool demographic.


==Toys==
Beginning in late [[2011]], the ''Rescue Bots'' toyline's initial offerings are noticeably divergent from [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|the cartoon]] that they inspired, featuring different robot stylings and a mostly different human cast. By year two (the line's ''Energize'' refresh), the line began to line up more stylistically with the cartoon, eventually adding toys based directly on in-show characters.
===2011-2012===
Beginning in late [[2011]], the ''Rescue Bots'' toyline's initial offerings are noticeably divergent from [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|the cartoon]] that they inspired, featuring different robot stylings and a mostly different human cast. Some of the last product before the line's ''Energize'' refresh, the Mobile Headquarters and Bots & Robbers playsets, began to feature changes to align with the cartoon, such as a [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] [[Cody Burns]] and blue coloration for [[Chase (RB)|Chase]].
====Figures====
The Figures assortment consists of individual human figures with basic articulation, and a piece of [[Rescue Gear]] each.


[[File:RescueBotstoy-CodyBurnsRescueHose.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
The line was later succeeded by a direct sequel, ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)|Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy]]'', and two spiritual successors, the ''[[Transformers: Dinobot Adventures|Dinobot Adventures]]'' and the ''[[Transformers: Classic Heroes Team|Classic Heroes Team]]'' toylines.

====Rescue Bots====
==Standard retail toys==
The Rescue Bot assortment consists of [[autotransformation|autotransforming]] figures, which can hold Rescue Gear in robot mode.
===Rescue Bots===
* Released from 2011–2013, 2018.
The original ''Rescue Bots'' assortment consists of [[autotransformation|autotransforming]] figures, which can hold Rescue Gear in robot mode. These figures are larger than the later "mainline" toys. For the ''Energize'' [[subline imprint]], the original toys were partially [[redeco]]ed in clear blue plastic, and [[retool]]ed to include new rescue tools and additional [[5 mm post|5mm ports]] to hold them in vehicle mode.


[[File:RBtoy-Boulder.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
In 2018, long after being replaced by smaller "Rescan" figures (see below), this pricepoint made a limited comeback (under the same Hasbro assortment number, no less), with the four core characters being re-released in new, more cartoon-inspired decoes. These releases retained the new accessories and other tooling from the ''Energize'' versions, and, curiously, the same individual product numbers too. Oddly, the back of their packaging has the copyright year as 2015.

===Rescan Series===
*[[Blades (RB)|Blades the Copter-Bot]]
Premiering in 2014, the smaller Rescan figures replaced the Rescue Bot assortment as the core product for the line. The assortment's name derives from the fact that the 2014 line-up gave the ''Rescue Bots'' cast new [[alternate mode]]s for the first time, although new figures of their original forms were eventually introduced over the years.

===2013 (''Energize'')===
===Figure Packs===
For 2013, ''Rescue Bots'' was refreshed with the ''Energize'' branding, which saw most toys feature blue, 'powered-up' color-schemes and weapons. It was also at this point that the line began to tie itself more closely to the ''Rescue Bots'' cartoon, with [[package art]] and new toy molds being based on the show's character models.
;<u>Figures w/ Rescue Gear</u>
In the first year of the line (2011), the Figures assortment consisted of individual soft-plastic human figures with basic articulation, and a piece of [[Rescue Gear]] each.

The [[Beam Box]] Game System is a basic video games console, inspired by the popular ''{{w|Skylanders}}'' model. The player places a static ''Rescue Bots'' figure into the eponymous "Box" and pushes a button, "transporting" the character into the video game.


*Expandable Starter Pack (includes [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys|Optimus Prime]] figure)
This assortment initially consisted entirely of animal-bots with 5mm rescue tool alternate modes, although would loosen up over time with the use of molds originating in other assortments, including the predecessor Mini Dino range.

===Playsets===

[[File:RBToy-High Tide playset.jpg|riught|thumb|250px|High Tide Rescue Rig]]
{{note|Chase's Beam Box figure was solicited as part of the assortment's first wave, but appears to have never been released. The reason for this becomes apparent if one "fools" the Beam Box console's simple, button-based recognition system into thinking a Chase figure has been placed inside – the controls for the Chase game do not respond, effectively freezing the console until it is reset. Apparently Hasbro simply neglected to release Chase rather than recall and/or re-manufacture the Beam Box itself.}}
Available at a number of pricepoints, playsets typically include at least one human figure or smaller version of a bot.


===2014===
*<u>'''2011'''</u>
2014 saw another theme for ''Rescue Bots'' in the form of new alternate modes, including both vehicles and dinosaurs, seemingly in a loose tie-in to the concurrent [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|''Age of Extinction'' franchise]]. Dinosaur-themed toys sport ''Roar and Rescue'' branding on the back of their packaging, but unlike ''Energize'' there is no line-wide subtitle. Much of the year's product apparently suffered paint budget cuts, with packaging [[stock photography]] often showing significantly more [[paint operation]]s than the final toys.

Though the pricepoint was introduced in 2015, it didn't become an ongoing assortment until 2016. These massive bots, while roughly the same size as the Epic Figures (see below), are fully transformable toys. There was a 2-year gap between waves 3 and 4.

===2015===
===Beam Box Game System===
Rather than any broad theme, 2015's ''Rescue Bots'' line instead saw the introduction of new robot characters for the first time since 2012's mostly-ignored [[Medix]] and [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]], in the form of [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]], [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] and [[High Tide]].
Released in 2013, the [[Beam Box]] Game System is a basic video games console, inspired by the popular ''{{w|Skylanders}}'' model. The player places a static ''Rescue Bots'' figure into the eponymous "Box" and pushes a button, "transporting" the character into the video game. The "Expandable Starter Pack" includes the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#BeamBox|Optimus Prime]] figure.


====Featured Bots====

Similar in style to the Figure 2-Pack toys, Featured Bots are non-transforming figures with a rescue tool action feature on one arm.

« Rescue Bots »

The Transformers: Rescue Bots toyline is released under Hasbro's Playskool Heroes brand, the latest of many Transformers lines to be aimed at the preschool demographic.

Beginning in late 2011, the Rescue Bots toyline's initial offerings are noticeably divergent from the cartoon that they inspired, featuring different robot stylings and a mostly different human cast. By year two (the line's Energize refresh), the line began to line up more stylistically with the cartoon, eventually adding toys based directly on in-show characters.

The line was later succeeded by a direct sequel, Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy, and two spiritual successors, the Dinobot Adventures and the Classic Heroes Team toylines.


Standard retail toys

[edit]

Rescue Bots

[edit]
  • Released from 2011–2013, 2018.

The original Rescue Bots assortment consists of autotransforming figures, which can hold Rescue Gear in robot mode. These figures are larger than the later "mainline" toys. For the Energize subline imprint, the original toys were partially redecoed in clear blue plastic, and retooled to include new rescue tools and additional 5mm ports to hold them in vehicle mode.

In 2018, long after being replaced by smaller "Rescan" figures (see below), this pricepoint made a limited comeback (under the same Hasbro assortment number, no less), with the four core characters being re-released in new, more cartoon-inspired decoes. These releases retained the new accessories and other tooling from the Energize versions, and, curiously, the same individual product numbers too. Oddly, the back of their packaging has the copyright year as 2015.

Wave 1 Wave 2 Wave 3 Wave 4
Wave 4 Boulder
Wave 5 Wave 6 (Energize) Wave 7 (Energize) Wave 8


Rescan Series

[edit]

Premiering in 2014, the smaller Rescan figures replaced the Rescue Bot assortment as the core product for the line. The assortment's name derives from the fact that the 2014 line-up gave the Rescue Bots cast new alternate modes for the first time, although new figures of their original forms were eventually introduced over the years.

Wave 1 (2014) Wave 2 Wave 3 Wave 4
Wave 6 Blurr
Wave 5 (2015) Wave 6 Wave 7 Wave 8
Wave 9 (2016) Wave 11 Wave 12 Wave 14 (2017)
Wave 15 Wave 16 Wave 17 Wave 18 (2018)
Wave 19 Wave 20 Wave 21 Wave 22
Wave 23 (2019)
Waves 10, 13, 24 and 25 contained no new figures. In particular, wave 24 consisted of four different Bumblebee figures and a single racing truck Optimus Prime, to tie into the release of the Bumblebee film.


Rescue Rigs (2016)

These sets combine a Rescan bot toy with a towable trailer, which itself converts into a role-play gauntlet toy with action features for kids to wear.

Superchargers (2016)

These barely-larger-than-Rescan toys of special guest bots have pull-back motor action, launching them forward.

Griffin Rock Rescue Team (2016)

A four-pack of the main four Rescue Bots in their Rescan-scale show-forms, all nice and neat.

Rescue Teams (2017)

These multi-packs include one Rescan-sized Rescue Bot, a human partner, and rescue gear which can combine and form robots.


Figure Packs

[edit]
Figures w/ Rescue Gear

In the first year of the line (2011), the Figures assortment consisted of individual soft-plastic human figures with basic articulation, and a piece of Rescue Gear each.

Flip Changers

Released in 2013, Flip Changers are larger semi-motorized figures, sporting a gimmick whereby pulling a lever causes the toy to roll forward briefly before flipping over into robot mode.


Megabots

[edit]

Though the pricepoint was introduced in 2015, it didn't become an ongoing assortment until 2016. These massive bots, while roughly the same size as the Epic Figures (see below), are fully transformable toys. There was a 2-year gap between waves 3 and 4.

Beam Box Game System

[edit]

Released in 2013, the Beam Box Game System is a basic video games console, inspired by the popular Skylanders model. The player places a static Rescue Bots figure into the eponymous "Box" and pushes a button, "transporting" the character into the video game. The "Expandable Starter Pack" includes the Optimus Prime figure.

Mixable, Mashable Heroes!

[edit]

Branded as Rescue Bots, presumably due to the Playskool connection, this line of Transformers-themed Mr. Potato Head toys is entirely unrelated to the rest of the line. Lotsa figures of Mr. Potato Head in different scales, dressing up as... Generation 1 characters, with Rescue Bots characters finally getting into the mix late into the line (and barely hitting US retail).

"2-Packs" in this context means that Mr. Potato Head has two different costumes to put on: a robot-mode outfit and a vehicle-mode one!
