Transformers Comic-Magazin
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
The Transformers
- The Rescue Force are redecos of four out of the six Japanese Breastforce Liokaiser components, but without their breastplate-partners and other weapons (and in the jet's case, no super-robot head). New weapons were cast for each one. All four Rescue Force vehicles came on the same cardback, without any form of individual identifier. They were only available in European and Australian markets in 1992, alongside similarly-individually-nameless releases of the Constructicons.
- The new weapons were cast in both red and silver plastics. It is unknown which color -if either- is the more uncommon version. Each one also had a different face color; though it isn't completely confirmed, the earlier versions have the same color faces as the toys' original Breastforce incarnations, but later releases replaced this with a uniform silver paint.
- Since the toys' combination gimmick is built-in rather than needing extra parts, you can attach them to form Big Rescue Force... but you end up with an armless robot whose head is nothing more than a mouthplate. Which is kinda funny, admittedly.
Notes
- While the Rescue Force had no individual bio information, they did receive bios (in rather broken English) as well as startlingly unimaginative names in a Transformers sticker album produced by Kent, distributed in 1993 in currently-unknown parts of Europe.
- The catalog that came packed with them says "Six unbeatable Autobots speed to the rescue" beneath a picture of the FOUR Autobots that were released. But in Spanish, it says "Cuatro"...
