Last but by no means least in this batch of official Hasbro images are the official images of the new young audiences Transformers, Transformers Rescue Bots. These cool kiddie Transformers are going to be the ideal entry-level Transformers to introduce a whole new generation of fans to the franchise. Just check out these images to see for yourself:
Rescue Bots
Bumblebee
Heatwave the Fire Bot
Mega Rescue Bots
Heatwave the Fire Bot
Playsets
Fire Station Prime
Bumblebee Rescue Garage
Chaos Muffin
They remind me of Mega Man bosses

I will sacrifice these to my boy & nephew so that they don't get their grubby mits on the Terradive I spent 6 months hunting.
(watch, they'll be rarer than Generations Warpath!)

As a father of five, I will say that yes these would be cool for little little kids. My 7 year old twin boys are more interested in the deluxe and cyberverse characters.
It's been my observation with my kids that the toys that are aimed at the younger audience, do not attract their attention at all. They're always in my Barricade collection trying to mess around with the more complex figures.
Anyways. In closing, is it me or does anyone else see Rescue Bot Bumblee as a Luchadore mask wearing Lightning McQueen?

Thereis an actual Prime figure.
D-Unit
If I had young kids, I'd def. buy these. BTW, is there an actual Prime figure or is the Fire Station just supposed to be Prime?

Hmm… The Rescuebots seems to have misunderstood the concept of a firestation. It is not supposed to be on fire.

I can't stop smiling when I see that Bumblebee…. this could be bad.
SideswipePrime
that big heatwave looks pretty cool, i might get it depending on how good the articulation is
Mospeada
Haha this. I'm buying one. Also, looks like Heatwave is an Autobot now…I was thinking of the TFCC Decepticon.

HEATWAVE THE FIRE BOT is the greatest thing ever.

These are just adorable.
Quickly, give me children so that I may buy these things without shame.
I would also sell a kneecap or kidney for a Nemesis Heatwave repaint with skull patterns and luminous tattoos.

I am super duper excited about these!

Chibee? Man these sets are just odd haha
An Army of Bees
The Rescue Bots designs continues to fuel my crazy theory that I have about Bumblebee being the fat kid that the Autobots feel pity for, so they let him hang around on adventures.
