    I saw a double homage: the chest looks like the inferno volt/roadblock vehicle mode, a construction vehicle as well

    I like the designs and think it looks like a fun kids show. My question is (and this might be in another thread): Will there be a toy line to support this show?

    I thought the story was that they let the original voice cast go, but they're gonna have Heatwave in some capacity. Hope he's still voiced by Steve Blum.

    There's always a toyline, why wouldn't this one have one?

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Steve Blum confirmed he wouldn’t be reprising his role as Heatwave. They really are replacing the entire cast.

    My kids (9, 8, 6, 4) still love the original Rescue Bots. They will be too old for this one, except maybe my youngest, but I hope that this show catches on with a new wave of kids as it did with mine.

    I was asking more since I don't recall any publicity statements regarding a toy line. I would expect one but was wondering if i missed some mention in a press release.

    We just heard yesterday that there's a new wave of Rescue Bots Rescan coming. My prediction: Rescue Bots will continue as a line, incorporating Rescue Bots Academy characters along the way. Should that happen, Rescue Bots will have passed Generation 1 to become the longest running Transformers toyline.

    It already surpassed the G1 cartoon in season count.
