Thanks to 2005 Boards member shadow panther, we got word that Transformers: Rescue Bots Motorcycle Chase and Optimus Prime have been found at US Retail.
Rescue Bots Motorcycle Chase and Optimus Prime (originally from the Racing Trailer set) were spotted at Target in North Brunswick, New Jersey for $7.89.
You can check the photograph from the store after the jump, and then you can share your impressions on the 2005 Boards.

Woah. I somehow missed that this was a mild that even existed. Hopefully it isn't impossible to get.

So is Cement Mixer Salvage something new? I took this pic at OG Albert, Singapore.

Does Chase ship with the cement mixer Salvage? I can't find that one anywhere!

These are in-stock at Amazon.com as well.
Here's Chase: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079J6L1ZS/
and Optimus Prime: https://www.amazon.com/Playskool-Heroes-Transformers-Rescue-Optimus/dp/B078HM2CL9
There's another listing that depicts the new Optimus (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QCALOCK/), but if you order that (like I made the mistake of doing), you end up with this older Optimus (https://www.amazon.com/Optimus-Prime-Playskool-Heroes-Transformers/dp/B072BRRXXX/), instead.

That Chase bike is pretty sweet. I might have to get one. I'm kind of a sucker for bike mode transformers because of how they can act as 1:18th scale bikes generally. Brushfire turned out surprisingly well too and works great with TMNT.
The Bumblebee one looks like it'd go good with TMNT Michaelangelo, Chase would make a great Leonardo one, only need a red one and purple one now.

Added to the story, thanks!

man, that chase would make a sweet groove. i still think rescue bots should've been called and about the protectobots and given light to a mostly forgotten g1 team, since aligned love its homages already.
