The fandom wants Classic Rescue Bots, the fandom gets Classic Rescue Bots! Well, an idea of what they would probably end up looking like anyway. As listed below, there will be eight entries into this series. I will give fair warning that it will take me a while to complete this set as this is the first free weekend that I have had in a long time. Three-Pack Exclusives 1. Heatwave, Rescan Heatwave, and Dinobot Heatwave 2. Blades, Rescan Blades, and Dinobot Blades 3. Hoist, Medix, and Trex 4. Optimus Prime, Rescan Optimus Prime, and Dinobot Optimus Prime 5. Blurr, Salvage, and Morbot 6. Chase, Rescan Chase, and Dinobot Chase 7. Bumblebee, Rescan Bumblebee, and Dinobot Bumblebee 8. Boulder, Rescan Boulder, and Dinobot Boulder 9. High Tide, Rescue Rig High Tide, and Cybershark 10. Bonus: F-primusunicron's Dinobot Bumblebee and Autovolt 127's Boulder 11. Bonus: Optimus Prime, Blades, Boulder, Bumblebee, Chase, and Heatwave 12. Bonus: Optimus Prime and FrankTheFroggy's Chase Packaging Blurb: Optimus Prime has recruited a much needed crew in order to help with the protection of civilians and to contest with the aftermath of Decepticon encounters. Each of the crew members is equipped with special programming that lets them rotate between rescan forms in order to best attend to the needs of an emergency situation. This squad is not only summoned for their rebuilding capabilities, as each member provides a formidable challenge to any troublesome Decepticon.
I have a mighty need! Seriously, all of these look great so far. I hope Hasbro gives us some official Generations-style Rescue Bots some time in the future. Can't wait to see what you do with the others If I had to guess what the next lot will be; 1 - Chase (Police Car, Stegosaur) 2 - Blades (Helicopter, Pterosaur) 3 - Boulder (Bulldozer, Ceratopsian) 4 - Optimus Prime (Truck, Tyrannosaur) 5 - Bumblebee (Car, Raptor(?)) Then the remaining two could be any combination of Medix, Hoist, Salvage, and Blurr. Or maybe even a Morbot! As I said though, whatever you come up with, I'm looking forward to seeing it!
I'm in agreement with everybody else, I'd love to see some Generations Rescue Bots, and these are perfect!
Bumblebee had a motorcycle alt.mode once, Boulder was a dump truck once and Blades had a jet mode though I could be wrong.
I was thinking purely based on what's been seen in the cartoon, hence the question mark next to Bumblebee's raptor mode
Blades is up, up, up, and away. In a perfect world all of the shades of red and orange would be the same on these characters. Thanks for all of the support and kind words everyone! Between the two of you, all of the sets have just about been revealed. Transformerwars, I am not sticking to what has been shown in the cartoon as I have never seen the cartoon except for like five minutes of an episode, as I am sadly not the target audience. Besides, I can't like a transformers series without my beloved Decepticons. I had never heard of Morbot, but now he is a definite shoe-in; thanks for the idea! Autovolt 127, I will agree with you, I am stunned with how awesome Rescan Heatwave turned out, by far one of my favorites in this series.
Can you please go work for Hasbro and get these released? Heck, even FunPubs as TFSS or Club exclusives (not Botcon cause, you know, prices)
