Thanks to 2005 Boards member OCProwl for giving us the heads up of the Rescue Bots Minicon Drake The Dragon-Bot (Green Variant) Available At Amazon.
Amazon US has listed this green variant of the original Wave 1 Drake (which came in red plastic) for economic $4.99 together with clear stock images. But there’s more to report here, since 2005 Boards user sdtessmann also found this little green dragon at his local Pick N Save Marketplace in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. Pick N Save is a Kroger nameplate, so Kroger stores may have this variant too.
This green variant of Drake is part of the Rescue Bots Minicons Wave 8 together with reissues of Chase the Rescue Dinobot and Heatwave the Rescue Dinobot. Fnn and affordable toys for kids. Check the images after the jump and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards.

I\'m not against straight up repaints of the same character as you can look on them as a repartnering in this case from Heatwave to Boulder (or Medix or Salvage) friendly colours. It could even be looked on as a change in functions such as containing planet killer.
I hope this one shows up in the UK too – I have yet to see the Blue Dog-Motorcycle repack that is supposed to exist so I am a little worried.

It would be a proper giggle to buy this and sit Dr. Morocco in it :

It would look like he'd made friends with Ravage. The Hulk Dozer would kinda work as a Human Rescue vehicle too for Cody to use.

And buying this

No, its kinda weird and somehow not much better. :

Hey teamwork! High-five.
I am already nostalgic for the days when my daughter was into Rescue Bots. Alas I see no need to buy this so naturally I will add it to my cart for next purchase.

Call him Drake Long.
Digger
You got it.
Venixion
And he shall be called Doom of All Worlds…the Dragon.
Digger
Drake the dragon? You couldn’t have picked any better alliterating name? Like David, Daniel, Daniele, Douge. Whatever, why do I care so much lol.
TheWarPathGuy
A dragon named Drake
BADASS

I thought that too, but no, he is not.

Green Drake was listed on Entertainment Earth some time ago without pics, along with reissues of two of the mini-dinosaurs (Chase and Heatwave) and one of the minicon dogs (Growl the blue dog from one of the mini-playsets).

Any pics? Thanks!

I found this at the Pick N Save Marketplace in Menomonee Falls, WI on Monday. Pick N Save is a Kroger nameplate, so Kroger may have it as well.

I think this was listed as part of the new wave for 2018. I will check out if it's new or not.

I thought that too, but it's actually the front of the torso folded back over the body, and the water sploosh is shooting from mid-torso.
Kind of cute.
Venixion
Is he blasting water out of his bum?

Found this green repaint of the circa-2015 Drake the Dragon-Bot on Amazon today. Listed for $4.99 as an Add-On. Haven't seen this before and didn't see any news for it, seems to be new?
