Toys

Playskool Heroes: Rescue Bots

  • Griffin Rock Police Station (Playset, 2015)
Growl is a robotic dog who transforms into a motorcycle. Sadly, his bike mode is not really compatible with the Playskool Heroes style figures; they can ride him, but they're not made to sit and they can't really grip his horizontal handlebars. Their stance is wide enough to fit on his back end and use the tailpipes as footrests, though.


  • Rescue Guard Bumblebee (2018)
Let me sniff that butt.
A new version of Growl was released with Rescue Guard Bumblebee. Mini-Cons Growl and Sergeant Slobber can transform into armor/rescue tools and attach to Bumblebee in either mode. This version of Growl is more convincing in dog mode than his earlier version. He also dumps the royal blue for a primarily black and red color scheme on this go around.


Notes

  • Growl is the only Rescue Bots Mini-Con so far that turns into a vehicle rather than a tool, though he does become a tool when working with Bumblebee.
