    Hoping they'll make one of those non-transformable PVCs of Boulder next.

    Should have been the scoop bucket for Blades. And it should have attached to his belly.

    Boulder's weapon looks a bit phallic to me.

    They look nice. I'm going to pick Boulder, just 'cause I like him more.

    Seems if they're Energized...they have some extra blue parts. :D 

    Glad they're still releasing them, but where are they??? Haven't seen a single 'Engergized' Rescue Bot yet.

    That's the second conversation on Transformers toys recently that the conversation turned to sextoys.

    Oh and I think they are rather cute if a tiny bit superfluous compared to the original ones.

    These are the same as the old versions, but with some translucent blue plastic? And they think I'll buy them just because of that?

    Well they're goddamned right I will! RESCUE BOTS! FTW!!!

    I'm not even so sure its translucent blue. It just seems like a weapon cast in allspark battles blue (maybe cyan).
    To be fair though. Its been difficult to find the main guys like boulder, chase, blades, and even Heatwave after a while.
    and this is better than just a unaltered reissue if completionists are interested.

    The only one that really demands my attention is chase. Since they actually cast him with dark blue instead of black, for a slightly more accurate feel.

    I guess I can mention my target had the bots and robbers playset down to $14.99 in the clearance section. Totally worth it. Though the robber figure has no articulation at all.

    The cyan weapons are translucent. The blue bot parts are transparent.
