Thanks to a report in our California Sightings forum by 2005 Boards member Vector Oracle we can confirm our first US sighting of the new Transformers Classic Heroes Team Optimus Primal & Grimlock at US retail.
First revealed in January this year, these are new Rescue Bots style molds under the “Classic Heroes Team” logo in simplified 11-inch scale figures for the kiddies. Both were spotted at Macy’s Walnut Creek, California.
Happy hunting!
Thanks to 2005 Boards member Daimao we can confirm our first US sighting of the new Transformers Rescue Bots Academy Ratchet figure.
This figure was first reported while back in December 2021 and it’s a redeco of the Rescue Bots Academy Medix Rescan toy with a new head. It was found at a Walgreens in Norfolk, Virginia.
Happy hunting!
Thanks to 2005 Board member Ikkstakk for giving us the heads up that the Transformers Dinobots Adventures Optimus Prime And Bumblebee have been found at US retail.
This new sub-line consists of redecos of several Rescue Bots Dinobots and Dinosaur themed Rescue Bots figures, but packed with a new “Dinobots Adventures” logo, independent of the original Rescue Bots line. Optimus Prime is a redeco of the Rescue Bots Optimus Prime (Dino) with a redeco of Rescue Bots Scale (shield). Bumblebee is a redeco of Rescue Bots Bumblebee (Dino) packed with a redeco of Rescue Bots Lance (lance).
These figures were found at Kroger Marketplace in Louisville Kentucky, but they had been available online for some time.
We have quite an active week of sightings this time. New Dinobots Adventures toys in Australia, Authentics, Studio Series and Collaborative Jurassic Park toys in Mexico, more Authentics and Cyberverse toys in Peru, and new Legacy toys hit shelves in Singapore.
Happy hunting, one and all!
Earlier this month we discovered a new Walmart Listing for two “Rescue Bots” products titled Classic Heroes Team Optimus Primal & Grimlock. Today, thanks to ACD Distributions, we have our first look at the new toys.
“Imagine helping the Autobots save the day! These toys are ready to take to the streets and charge to the rescue! Kids ages 3 and up can pretend there is a dangerous situation unfolding and convert the brave 4.5-inch action figure from a robot to a vehicle they can imagine racing to the scene for a courageous rescue.”
In addition to the above, ACD Distribution has new listings for some Transformers Authentics items. Titan Changers featuring Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Megatron, and Starscream give us the classic characters in simplified 11-inch scale figures for the kiddies. They’ll come in a larger bubble card and have 10 steps or less transformations.
“Transformers Titan Changers figures feature popular Transformers characters at a 11-inch scale. Experience the excitement of Transformers conversion play with Transformers Titan Changers figures. They convert from robot mode to vehicle mode and back in less than 10 steps. Choose a side and collect other Transformers Titan Changers figures to stage epic Autobot vs. Decepticon battles.”

On January 1st, we brought you news of an upcoming toyline called Authentics Mini Racers. Now, our Jtprime17 is not only bringing us our first look at the line (officially called Transformers Mini Bot Racers) but also our first look at additional lines called Cybertron Battlers and Evergreen Masks.

As some have guessed correctly, Authentics Mini Bot Racers are re-issues/re-paints/re-molds of Transformers: Rescue Bots Mini Bots Racers.
Hasbro is also continuing its long tradition of releasing Optimus Prime & Bumblebee masks. Only this time it’s for the Evergreen/Authentics line.

It’s a new year and with it comes new toys. Thanks to the Walmart App, we’ve stumbled upon a new listing for two Transformers Rescue Bots – Classic Heroes Team entries and one entry for the Evergreen/Authentics line.
Rescue Bots:
Both products are priced at $10.99 each and may be similar to previous products from this subline. It’s interesting to see Optimus Primal among the toys and this is likely due to the Rise Of The Beasts live-action movie. However, it is likely that this product will be pushed to 2023.
Evergreen/Authentics
Unlike the aforementioned Classic Heroes Team line, this is an all-new product. It is likely that we will see characters like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Starscream.
Hot on the heels of our reveal of a new Rescue Bots Academy Ratchet figure, now a pair of eBay listings have revealed another new toy: Rescue Bots Academy Heatwave Jet Mode.
This is another unexpected release under the Rescue Bots Academy line, and with a completely new mold for Heatwave which now transforms into a red jet. We still have no concrete information about the release date of these figures, but it’s good to notice that all the aforementioned eBay listings are UK based.
See the images after the break and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!
Via an eBay listing we have our first look at a new Transformers Rescue Bots Academy Ratchet figure.
This is kind of an unexpected surprise since it seemed that the Transformers Rescue Bots Academy line was over. This figure seems to be a retool and redeco of the Rescue Bots Academy Medix Rescan toy.
We still have not much details about this figure, buy you can see all the new stock images after the jump. Click on the discussion link below and share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
November is leaving with a slow sightings week, but we are getting closer to Christmas so it may be different next week. Australian fans can now hunt the latest Rescue Bots Dinobots Adventures and they got official pre-orders for Masterpiece Shouki, New Zealand stores get the latest Kingdom Deluxe waves plus the Autobot Ark and the War For Cybertron Trilogy Ravage 2-pack has been found in Singapore.
Happy hunting, one and all!
