Hot off of the heals of our earlier news post reporting the existence of two new Rescue Bot figures, site sponsor Bigbadtoystore has provided us with picture as well as a preorder. Shown on BBTS is the 2015 Rescue Bots Rescan wave featuring the previously revealed Chase and Boulder. But, also revealed is a new Rescan Optimus Prime and the new Rescue Bot, Salvage! Salvage turns into a colorful garbage truck. With the reveal of Salvage here, the question comes to mind of what may have happened to Rubble the Haulbot?

I cannot believe people are still clamoring for Decepticons in this show… that isn't what it's about and never will be. Stop.

I dont get how all of you are seeing Animated Wreck-Gar in Salvage… they couldn't be more different.
If he resembles anything he looks more like what the Long Haul Garbage Truck from DOTM may have looked like in robot mode after scanning. Both were bulky bots like this.

Salvage reminds me of Animated Wreck-Gar

Because 'Cons are absolutely not needed in the show, which I enjoy since it steers clear of the war for a change.

Great…
And still no Decepticons WHY?!?!

If he is in the show I demand he be voiced by Weird Al.

So many Garbage Trucks.
Wreck-Gar, Junkheap, Salvage, garbage guy from DOTM…

Waaaaaaaait, is that the Rescue Bots version of Optimus's Beast Hunters form?

I wonder if he dares to be stupid…

So in the toy land world of Rescue Bots, the 4 main cast, BB and OP have a combined 24 modes between them! obviously including the 6 Robot modes, but that means a solid 18 Alt modes between 6 characters! That has to be a record! That is provided I didn't miss any, which is possible.

Not too hopeful he'll be in the show…we could use a new mech face (especially a femme).
Orio, love your avatar

This still really grinds my gears. Having a new member join the Rescue Bots would actually get me to start watching again. Maybe Salvage could be voiced by Michael Bell who already is confirmed to voice in Season 3.
That being said I approve of Salvage the Garbage Truck, though I would have loved Salvage to be more like the Allspark Battle Salvage which homage the Sanford and Son truck.
He could have originally been meant to be Rubble too.

Nice to see another garbage truck TF that's a 'bot instead of a 'con. Brings back fond memories of Wreck-Gar

Optimus already received 2 figures with new alt-modes in this scale this year, a monster truck in wave 1 and a smaller release as Optimus Primal in a subsequent release (only Bee and Prime have had dino-mode releases in this size class, the rest of the dino figures have either been the mini-changers or the larger electronic relases).

So everyone gets sweet new alt. modes and a new character… but Optimus looks the same, worse even. What the heck?

I think we have the same 3-year old. I hope that these new toys are the same size as the original transforming Rescue Bots toys, but I'm not holding my breath. We have Medix – I kick myself daily for not getting Hoist when he was readily available.

Interesting. Salvage and the rescan Prime remind me of Animated Wreck-Gar and Animated Prime.
