We’ve got word that the newest addition to the Rescue Bots line has hit US retail. Friend and TFW2005 staff member Servo spotted Knight Watch Bumblebee at a Toys R Us in Minnetonka MN. This Bumblebee sports a dragon alternate mode and is accompanied by fire and ice themed Minicons.
Happy hunting, all.

Amazon has a new Rescue Bots Friend/Minicon listed as instock as well – Silverback the Gorilla-Bot, a snow deco to pair up with the snowplough Boulder from the recent Rescue Team set.

I\'m quite interested in the minicons, hopefully they get sold separately in future RB minicon waves.

It's not that I don't like dragon robots… but does it ALWAYS have to be Bumblebee? I liked that Hasbro gave BB an iconic alt mode… but they keep using him like an interchangeable all-purpose tool. While he has brand value and kids love him, I can't help but wonder if this doesn't dilute his character to the point of irrelevance.
I guess I'm saying this: I need an RB BB MOP. That's the BB form I'll buy!
Whoops, almost forgot…
HASBRO: Where's ABOMINUS???
