Another Transformers sighting for you now! We have word that the Playskool Heroes Rescue Bots Optimus Prime and High Tide Featured Bots are showing up at US retail. These are 2-3 inch tall PVC figures that have a special “rescue action” feature. It’s also the first plastic representation of the larger High Tide bot mode to make it to retail.
A big thanks to TFW member nstanosheck who sent us the tip. He spotted this duo in a Walmart in Dallas, Texas.

I think High Tide is a Brainmaster.

Haven't seen these yet but I noticed they're switching to the new packages for the older figures. Or did they have these for a while now?
Also, I hope they do they make a fully transformable high tide.

Already out.
It's part of the play set, not separate.
Aberration
I would've even settled for making him as one of those 12" Rescue Bot statues that can carry a human in its chest… For some reason, they made one for everyone EXCEPT the really big guy.

I can see it.

IS it just me, or does Optimus's Rescue Bot head really look like Darth Vader?

I want his actual figure, ya Know the robot to submarine one. When will that one come.
Exinferis
Ohh, so much want! I've got the Prime one, well not that one, the Energize one, but same difference. Like High Tide but have to agree, he should be much larger in that form! Why did they not just do his "headmaster" form? That's how he's mostly seen in the cartoon.
Anyway, looks forward to seeing those here!

Think I'll buy High Tide just for the heck of it.

Those are weird…we'll mostly the High Tide…in his giant form, in tiny toy form lol. Love to have a fully transformable one.
Coldiron
Nice find. I want the new one now.
