Thanks to 2005 Boards member zobovor has shared in our boards our first sighting of the new Transformers Rescue Bots Academy Grimlock (Motorcycle) At US Retail.
Our first images of this new Grimlock toy surfaced back in May and now it was found at Walmart in Riverdale, Utah for affordable $7.88. Grimlock is now a cute mechanical Tyrannosaurus that can transform into an adorable small motorcycle in only 2 steps. What else can you ask for?
Another great gift for young Rescue Bots fans.
Thanks to 2005 Boards member Rookbartley for giving us the heads up that the new Rescue Bots Academy Whirl The Flight-Bot (Car Mode) has been spotted At US Retail.
We had seen our first stock images of this figure while back in August. This is a curious case since Whirl transforms into a car and not into her original helicopter mode. Not so flight-bot this time. She seems to be a remold and redeco of Race-car Heatwave. She’s similar in size to the previous Rescan Rescue Bots toys.
Whirl was found at Walmart in Fort Wayne, Indiana for only $7.88. A great gift for young Rescue Bots fans.
Happy hunting!

Here’s a small news which flew under the radar thanks to all the cool news which dropped throughout the past couple of weeks. Allspark Animations (formerly Hasbro Studios), SVP of global distribution and development Finn Arnesen has stepped down from his position to hand over the reins to Nina Scales.
Mr. Arnesen was instrumental in developing and distributing popular Hasbro shows such as Transformers: Prime, Transformers: Rescue Bots, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, G.I. Joe: Renegades, Transformers: Robots In Disguise and many more. His work resulted in Hasbro content being seen today in more than 195 territories across multiple platforms.
Mrs. Scales will step into the role of SVP of global distribution, reporting to Stephen Davis (Hasbro CCO and EVP).
We wish Nina Scales the best of luck, and a bright future to Finn Arnesen on his upcoming endeavors.
2005 Boards member TheBeastman brought our attention to a Transformers Rescue Bots Academy Flip Racers Whirl toy listed on Amazon we haven’t seen before.
This is a small curious Whirl toy which has a car alt mode but with helicopter blades on top. While the Amazon listing only showed images of the alt mode, 2005 Boards member Rookbartley was able to buy it and share in-hand images for us. As with other Flip Racers figures, you can transform Whirl just by lifting the alt mode. It’s a nice surprise since we didn’t see this toy previously, even at Toy Fair or Comic-Con.
