Transformers Rescue Bots Hoist and Medix Official Toy Images

Posted on 09-09-2012 at 09:03 AM by Sol Fury under Rescue Bots
Hoist-Robot
K-Mart has posted the official images of the two new additions to the Rescue Bots team. Medix the Doc-Bot and Hoist the Tow-Bot are seen here for the first time outside of the art on their instructions. Medix is a Ratchet themed ambulance right down to the stripe on the side of the vehicle, while Hoist is a blue tow truck, whose overall style and bearing reminds this fan of the tow truck from Robots in Disguise, Tow Line.

Check out the new images by opening the links above - in case they are not working for you we also have the images attached to this story for your convenience.

Seems like Medix has Blades Partner and Hoist has a repaint of Optimus Prime's partner.

I hope they have new mould tools to go with them both - it might even show then on the back of the box.

The blue Human looks like it's going to be a new toy as well - even if it's only a repaint of the Drill or Hammer tool or something like that.

Aw saweeet! Hopefully they'll both be making an appearance in season 2, hell, maybe they'll join the team, it does need a medic

I'm surprised they named a blue tow truck Hoist when they just reclaimed the trademark for Tow-Line.
Fallout
hoist's colors look really nice. medix doesn't look half bad either.
Arsenic
Does it mean they will appear on Rescue Bots show? I want to see them!
(But since the toyline doesn't match with show exactly, I can't sure...)
OptimushedPrune
At least we have Hoist in 1 toyline now
Massasoit
Ha, Medix looks way too happy. I'm used to my doc bots being old and grumpy. I dig the new characters though.

Yeah, but Tow-Line the Tow-Bot just sounds weird.

I've been catching up on the episodes lately, and think these new characters would fit in nicely.

Medix does look a little creepy-happy with that silly grin and huge eyes. His alt mode looks pretty boss though.

Now all we need is a motorcycle! Now that we have an ambulance, if we had a motorcycle I'd definitely start making a Defensor out of these dudes.

Hoist's color scheme is cool, but did Medix need to have such a similar layout to Ratchet?
Zombiebot
I am LOVING Hoist's look. Simple but effective.

Medix is okay, but I agree that he looks too much like Ratchet.

Regardless, I sincerely hope these guys make an appearance on the show itself. Don't get me wrong, I love the cast that's already there, but these two could add quite a bit to the show (especially Medix, being a doctor and all.)

Hmm so i'm guessing rescue bots will be getting new bots then
ORIO
Awesome. Will be picking up
Darkhawk79
Both look fantastic and hope to see them on the show soon...glad I placed my preorder on these
Autobot Burnout
These look pretty good, I'm both surprised and impressed Hasbro didn't go for the G1 look as far as Hoist goes.

As for Medix, I can't help but laugh at the fact his teeth are yellow. As in, the shade of yellow teeth get from smoking cigarettes.
Atomatron
cool, oh wait rescue bots, read it as bot shots, nvm then, carry on
Exodus
Cool can't wait to see these guys in the next season.
megatroptimus
When are they going to be released?
Oracle_Aesir
Maybe some new Rescue Bots are found in space (or on Earth, since everything else from Cybertron seems to wind up there). Maybe Medix is just Ratchet's toy for this line? hmm?

Great pics guys. I can't see them. Could someone mirror them please?

My guess is they didn't want another green figure.

Red/Blue - Prime
Red - Heat wave
Orange/white - Blades
Black/White - Chase
Green - Boulder
Yellow - Bumblebee
White - Medix
Blue - Hoist

I would have preferred a G1 colored Hoist, but more Rescue Bots is A-okay with me.
Shockwave9227
Thanks to the people who mirrored the pics.

Hoist looks pretty decent. Medix looks goofy I think.
Dinobot Nuva
Hoist screams Armada Longarm to me (Red Alert's minicon). Sold.

Medix, the yellow teeth omggggg
Autovolt 127
Hey that actually looks good. I'd love to see these designs in another line like Classics or Prime.
G1Prowl
Diaclone Hoist, huh?

So even Rescuebots get Diaclone homages and the Classics like gets nada? Great...

I like Hoist...his blue and green colors work nicely together. For some reason, looking at Medix...I keep getting a feminine feeling from it...

It does have a kind of 'soft' look that could suggest that, but I ain't making any bets. Medix seems to have the Animated Ratchet gut going on there (unless it is female, and keeps the bosom down there )
Ratchets Hatch
Oh sure. MEDIX gets the heartbeat symbol on his side. But TFP Ratchet? Noooo.
Avengers
These Two will probably show up in season Two of rescue bots cartoon series. Season Two will probably be all about Hoist & Medix trying to fit in the team.

Boulder & Hoist will either be dueling rivals due to them both being construction vechicles. or Boulder & hoist will have a master & student relationship,where one teaches the newbie the ropes.

I wonder which human will drive & get paired up with medix & hoist in the cartoon. that good scientist seems like a perfect fit for medix. My speculation is the human chiefs family relatives like long lost sons,daughters or cousins stop by & join the crew.
SMOG
Wow, Medix almost doesn't look like crap.

Yes, I know they're for very young children (supposedly), but so far almost every RH bot looks pretty bad to me (compared even to MFT and Hasbro Go-Bots). With a few more joints, Medix could almost pass for a regular Transformer.

The rescue bots toys are all awesome and have the highest quality of any of Hasbros current main line transformers. I ordered the case from BBTS last month.

Man the blue hoist robot is making me want it, what size are these?

Bigger than most toys coming out from the other lines lol, except leaders. They're for kids, so they have to be bigger, keep from swallowing crap.

You know what we need more than Doc. Greene joining the team? Him deciding to try copying Morocco and turning the not-Delorean into a Rescue Bot. Something like "Circuit the Tech-Support Bot". That would kick so much ass.
jestermon
I meant what size class like as big as the helicopter?

Well, quality control is probably easier when each toy has about 4 moving parts.

That is true but the plastic is also better and these guys have great paint apps compared to really lacking paint apps in Prime and Generations. As far as size goes, I put my spare Boulder in with my TFC Hercules robots and he fits just right with their scale - so that is small voyager or large deluxe.

Agreed. I have bought all of the bots in the line and am happy to buy more. Even the small human packs are kinda neat.

Haven't bought any of the playsets.

Shut up and pitch this idea to Hasbro!

To me, RB's don't exactly have a 'voyager' or 'deluxe' class size...they're usually about the same size as a voyager tho..and some of the bigger ones remind me of the Stompin' Optimus and Bee toys from the movies.

These bots probably will be somewhere between deluxe and voyager tho, based on the packaging that was shown. The hard part is finding them in the stores, WM around here has pretty much stopped having shelf space for them, maybe TRU will have these bots.
Soundwinder
I sorry, but every time I see the topic I can't help but parse the guy's name as "Me dix."
