My it's like one of those people that can't wear their face masks correctly. "Defecate, or get off of the pot, Sah!".

 

The Rescue Bots Rescan toys above (with the new mold of Optimus) are wave 33.
Salvage (first in wave 21 in late 2018) was re-released in the packaging shown above in wave 30 mid last year.

For the age range this seems like a fun toy. Joints look like overkill in how thick they look transformation is super simple etc and the idea's boss.

Now Hasbro make this to an insane level of complexity and detail, with full articulation! I demand more Monster Trucks in my "adult" collections lines

 

Wow, I can't believe Hastak are finally making a figure of the old Armada "Monster Convoy" concept design, but for the kids.Guess Generation Selects wasnt good enough, now they gotta get even the youngest of fans hooked on obscure references no one ever talks about outside TFwiki and these forums.

Jokes aside, I love that old monster truck concept for Armada Optimus, and I really hope we eventually get a voyager or leader class figure of it in Generations. As for this? Honestly, it looks really good for a kids toy! Its really chunky, the design's great, and that front grill in alt mode just radiates cool. I'm really tempted to get this for some of my younger siblings, they'd enjoy it a ton.

 

Oppy, has so many new forms now. He stole from Megatron twice.

Used to collect Rescue Bots when my kid when younger. This is 1st one I've seen where the arms aren't even attached at the shoulders.

 

Same here, except I have twin 3yr old boys that love Monster Trucks!  

I'm not spending $50+ tax on 2. Might bite at $20 each....

 

I hear ya man

 

Earlier today i found this Optimus along with the off-road buggy Bumblebee and F1 Heatwave in my local Oxfam for 99p each.
Kinda funny that these are the SAME Rescue Bots characters i have toys of via their larger Energise figures.
They\'re nifty things but i really wish the Rescue Bots characters could get proper toys...
I want Deluxes of the OG RB quartet, perhaps even through Legacy Year 3 or whatever comes after.
