Toys

Generation 1

• Rescue Force (Rescue Force, 1992)
  • Accessories: 2 water-cannons

Yes, these blasters make me look much more peaceful than missiles would!

The Rescue Force buggy is a redeco of the Breastforce member Jallguar, transforming into a Baja-style racing buggy with rear-mounted...uh, "missile" rack. It lacks Jallguar's partner-beastie Jaguarbreast, but comes with a pair of blaster accessories, which fit into the connector gaps in the front of the buggy-mode's rack. These guns also have holes that allow them to connect to the sides of the rack as well. It was available only in various European markets at the very end of the Generation 1 series.

The earlier versions of the buggy have a gold robot-mode face, but later releases use silver. In addition, the blasters were originally molded in silver as well, but later changed to red. The gold-faced version only came with silver weapons, while the silver-faced version could come with either the silver or red blasters.

Notes

• The buggy has no official name, or even an individual identifier of any sort, due to its packaging. 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 directions for all four members on the back. While this is thrifty, it's also crowded, leaving no room whatsoever for anything else.
• The original Breastforce molds used to make the Rescue Force are (largely) self-contained combiners, able to form a super robot. The Rescue Force buggy can still become the hips 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 1992 European catalog that includes the Rescue Force (as well as the Turbomasters, Predators and the non-combining Constructicons) refers to his vehicle form as an "armoured water cannon".
• The buggy's box-art, being just a color-retouched version of Jallguar's (with a new hand-weapon, of course), still shows Jaguarbreast in its chestplate configuration on the robot.
