Rescue Force is a member of the Rescue Force, a team of search-and-rescue Autobots. Yes, you read that right.

Rescue Force and the rest of the Rescue Force went to save Goldbug and several Targetmasters after they were captured by the Decepticons. Their efforts proved unnecessary, however, as the captives managed to escape on their own. Transformers in Action: Shockwave's Galactic Secret
Toys
Generation 1
- Rescue Force (Rescue Force, 1992)
- Accessories: Rifle
- Rescue Force is a redeco of the Breastforce member Leozack, transforming into a swing-wing fighter jet resembling a Grumman F-14 Tomcat. It lacks Leozack's Breast Animal Lionbreast (as well as the skull to Liokaiser), but comes with its own double-barreled blaster accessory, which fits in the indent in its chest (or the now unused peg hole on the tail) in jet mode. It was available only in various European markets at the very end of the Generation 1 series.
- The earlier versions of the jet have a red robot-mode face, but later releases use silver. In addition, the blaster was originally molded in silver as well, but later changed to red. The red-faced version only came with a silver weapon, while the silver-faced version could come with either the silver or red blaster.
Notes
- The jet's packaging has no official name, or even an individual identifier of any sort. Like the concurrently released non-combining versions of the Constructicons, each member of the Rescue Force used the same cardback design, featuring all four members' art up front and instructions for all four members on the back. While this is thrifty, it's also crowded, leaving no room whatsoever for anything else. His rather unimaginative name and muddled bio information come from a sticker book distributed in Europe by Kent in 1993.
- The original Breastforce molds used to make the Rescue Force are (largely) self-contained combiners, able to form a super robot. Rescue Force can still become the torso to a super robot using any combination of the molds. The toy packaging does not make any mention of this, largely because the Rescue Force team lacks both the two arm-robots and the only separate piece of combiner kibble, the super robot helmet.
- The card art for the jet is just Leozack's art retouched... which means it still has Lionbreast in chest armor configuration, and even still has a Decepticon symbol on him, albeit in red. Also, it's holding its rifle upside-down and way off-center.
- The German 1992 Catalogue [1] depicts Rescue Force with the plastic colours reversed (So White Wings, Outer Legs, Arms, Tail fins and nose cone, with Red Body and Lower Legs). This version is also shown with his gun in Black with the Silver face paint.
