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.
Toys
2011-2012
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. 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-accurate Cody Burns and blue coloration for Chase.
Figures
The Figures assortment consists of individual human figures with basic articulation, and a piece of Rescue Gear each.
Wave 1
- Axel Frazier & Microcopter
- Jack Tracker/Billy Blastoff & Jet Pack
- Chief Charlie Burns & Rescue Cutter
- Cody Burns & Rescue Hose
- Sawyer Storm & Rescue Winch
- Walker Cleveland & Rescue Saw
Wave 2
Rescue Bots
The Rescue Bot assortment consists of autotransforming figures, which can hold Rescue Gear in robot mode.
Wave 1
Wave 2
Wave 3
Wave 4
Wave 5
Electronic Figures
Electronic Figures are larger, non-transforming figures, featuring lights and sounds, and a human partner figure.
- Chase the Police-Bot (with Jack Tracker)
- Heatwave the Fire-Bot (with Cody Burns)
Playsets
Available at a number of pricepoints, playsets each include a human figure, and a basic Rescue Bot with a RPM-style "transformation" that they can ride in.
- Bumblebee Rescue Garage (with Bumblebee and Axel Frazier)
- Fire Station Prime (with Heatwave the Fire-Bot and Cody Burns)
- Electronic Rescue Bots Mobile Headquarters (with Optimus Prime and Cody Burns)
- Bots & Robbers Police Headquarters (with Chase the Police-Bot and robber)
2013 (Energize)
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.
Figure 2-Packs
Figure 2-Packs include a PVC Rescue Bot with basic articulation and a static human partner figure. Unlike previous merchandise, the robots and humans are based on the models of the Rescue Bots cartoon.
Wave 1
- Bumblebee & Graham Burns
- Chase the Police-Bot & Chief Charlie Burns
- Heatwave the Fire-Bot & Kade Burns
- Optimus Prime & Cody Burns
Wave 2
Singles Packs
Singles Packs repackage the Rescue Bot figures from the 2-Pack assortment without their human partner.
Rescue Bots
For the Energize subline imprint, the original Rescue Bot toys were partially redecoed in clear blue plastic, and retooled to include new rescue tools and 5mm posts to hold them in vehicle mode.
Wave 1
Wave 2
Flip Changers
Flip Changers are larger figures, sporting a gimmick whereby pulling a lever causes the toy to roll forward briefly before flipping over into robot mode.
Electronic Figures
The Electronic Figures are again larger, non-transforming toys with lights and sounds, although no longer including a human partner.
Playsets
2014
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 Age of Extinction franchise. Dinosaur-themed toys sport Roar and Rescue branding on their packaging, but unlike Energize there is no line-wide subtitle.
