We’ve got word that the Rescue Bots Rock Rescue Bumblebee set has hit UK retail. This set, which features Bumblebee, a pair of Mini-Cons, and a PVC human companion, has many different combinations, so it is a fun set to mess with. It was spotted in an Entertainer store in Colchester by TFW2005 member Underlord.

Oh damn! I really need to pay more attention when my kids watch! I don't think I've seen much 4th season.

Sideswipe appeared in a fourth season episode of Rescue Bots, and became friends with Blurr… who then crossed over to RID to pair up with his racing buddy Sideswipe.
Sideswipe was the fourth Transformer from Prime/RID to show up in the Rescue Bots cartoon, while Blurr was the first Rescue Bot to show up in Prime/RID.

Huh, I don't think I ever saw those. Weird that they were marketed under Rescue Bots (in which, AFAIK, Sideswipe has never appeared) instead of RID.

There should also be the snowplough Boulder set with that Bumblebee set, as they were released in the same wave/case.
That's the Supercharger Sideswipe, released with a Supercharger Bumblebee, middle of last year. They have a pull-back motor.

Wait, what the heck is that Rescue Bots RID Sideswipe next to him…?

Oh, gosh, I saw this a couple of weeks ago, if I'd know it was news I would have said something! I've also seen "Knight Watch" Bumblebee, with the two dragon-axes, kicking about Smyths this week…
