Check out some pics of the all new Rescue Bot Transformers sub line geared toward younger kids. Included are Optimus, Bumblebee and more!
Rescue Bots Inspired by the iconic “Transformers” brand, a group of Autobots, too young to protect humanity alongside Optimus Prime and his team, are partnered with a close-knit human family of first responders. Together, they learn teamwork and heroism alongside their new human friends in this animated series produced by Hasbro Studios.

That is one of my favourite Primes in a long while. Really sweet.
I don't have sprogs but I like the look of Chase The Police Bot enough to stick him on my shelf.
Heatwave looks horrible, though.

Nobody. Like Go-Bots, they're for little kids who don't need to be given fighting toys. They're intended to teach co-operation and helping out, and in any event kids of this age are fascinated by fire trucks and police cars and helicopters and just zooming them around anyway. They can have adventures without fighting anyone.
The designs are really great. They're cute and chunky but Optimus and Bumblebee look like "themselves". Might have to get a few of these for myself.
Don't really understand why or how they replace the Robot Heroes; RH were (somewhat) static collectibles designed to appeal to people who recognized the characters from cartoons or movies – whether kid or adult – while RB are more for a new generation who have no experience with Transformers.
And need to be indoctrinated.

who are they going to fight? I doubt the Decepticons would appear (unless they're comedic villains, like in the Marvel Superhero Squad Show)

Aside from the hands ….prime transforms just like G1 prime ….. That's kinda weird ….

Can't wait to show these to my 3 year old, he's going to lose his mind when he sees bumblebee, prime, and heatwave. I hope i'll still be able to afford my toys once he ends up with all those $20 playsets and deluxe priced figures.

I love these! My little 1 1/2 girl already picks up the McDonald's Animated toys I gave her and says "dadda". I can't wait to buy a few of these for us to play with. And I might pick up an extra Optimus all for "dadda".

Oh yes!! Now my son can get his own toys. My Fort Max is thanking me right now
ORIO
Buying everyone of them for my son.
what's the age on these? 3+ ?
If that's the case, I'll keep em in the closet for 2 1/2 years until he's ready

I still can't believe Hasbro dumped Heroes line-wide for this stuff.
Two different markets, they could have co-existed.

Like the prime, but these really need some big chunky joints in the elbows, knees, hips and shoulders. always made me mad when I couldn't move the legs on megazords and other figures like that when I was really young.

I kinda dig the Prime. The rest, eh… whatever.
