Thanks to 2005 Boards member savage dragon, we can inform that the new Rescue Bots Blind Bags are available At Walmart.
These blind bags (seen at San Diego Comic Con 2018) bring you small figurines of Rescue Bots characters like: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Heatwave, Blades, Chase, Boulder, Blurr, and Quickshadow. There are 2 different models for each character and they may require a simple assembly. These blind bag were spotted at Walmart in Lehigh Acres, Florida for only $2.88 each.
Nice figure to collect or gift. You can check out the images after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Hopefully they'll restock. Hasbro could get away with selling this new assortment for 2 years. Easy. Those old blind-bagged Rescue Bots lasted for a while.

My Walmart finally put these on clearance (for a buck) after years of full boxes of them taking up shelf space.
They briefly had a box of the new blind bags – they sold out within a week.

^^^I updated my first post with a gallery of both Primes, including them with their arms swapped.

Dear Hasbro,
Several years ago, you had mini RB toys in bags (similar to this). You made FOUR. And every year, it was the same FOUR characters. My family collected 4 (and some duplicates) and waited patiently for an update.
The kids are now over RB. Something this simple could have been made when the show premiered, and I would have bought these then.
Timing is everything.

For something Rescue Bots related, these are quite cool designs. With the weapons/tools and poses, it looks like they've dropped the pacifism and are about to kick some ass. I wouldn't mind seeing a Generations-style Heatwave with the hand-axe or Boulder with the big drill.

I was in Walmart today and found these. If you look on the back there is a see thru spot where you can see the color of the figure. I was able to get me Bee and Optimus.

Eh. I'm not really sold on Hasbro's blindbags. But as long as someone likes em.

Nice! I wonder if you can tell which ones in the packet just by feel since each figure seems to have an distictive shape.

Oh it's on now. I love stuff like this, especially when it's nicely detailed. The RiD Tiny Titans looked pretty crappy IMO, so I skipped them.

D'aw, these are neat. If I see some I'll nab a few.

I'd be down for this if there were G1 molds like they slipped in with the RID Tiny Titans and the Robot Heroes. BONUS if they scaled with the Robot Heroes.

My local walmarts haven\'t had new transformers products in months. Where are my g1 reissues? Lol

Wow, $2.88 for a blind bag figure? That's a first. At least, the first that I have seen.

Saw these in Huntington Beach, CA the other day too. I took photos but forgot to post about it, oh well. Anyway yeah, they're out in the West!
Venixion
Hasbro sure does like that name.

I would buy every bag in the shop if there might be a Dani Burns in them

I have both Primes and Blades(I haven't opened him yet).
Boxes have 1 of each figure. Both figures of a character is the same design but each are in a uniquely sculpted pose, so swapping arms between them to get different poses/looks is encouraged.
Each bag has a small clear window to see what figure is inside, if you are looking for a particular one.
The paint apps on these figures seem to be very precise/crisp, with only little to no slop at all on mine. Good Job Hasbro!
I've attached many photos below:

I believe they were on display at SDCC, but I don't think anything was officially announced.
