TFW2005 member Payton34 passed us this sightings report – the Rescue Bots Elite Rescue Heatwave (not to be confused with the non-transforming Elite Heatwave) has been spotted at US retail. This figure was found at a Target in Little Rock, AR. The retail price is $19.99 and the figure is described as transforming in one step. Read on for more of Payton’s thoughts on this release.

That's gorgeous. It may be a one-step changer, but I want it. LOOK AT ALL THAT PAINT!
Now if only RID got this kind of treatment for its one-step changers.

Great news! I might pick that up, I love Heatwave. Not too in love with the alt mode though.. Someone tell Hasbro we need an MP Quad changing Heatwave!
Rotating pictures is not a hard thing to do.

A Hasbro.com listing went up for it a while back…

I have no clue if it's new but I don't remember this.

Apologies if this has been posted already, I looked through the first 10 pages but didn't see anything (of course I could have overlooked it).
I found Elite Rescue Heatwave at my local Target this morning (or rather my son found it, lol) in Little Rock, AR. Retail was $19.99. Transformation is like a large one step changer, you basically just take the chest and rotate it to change between modes.
Looked like they just restocked either late last night or early this morning, as the entire Rescue Bots section was filled up pretty well.
