    SOMEday, I sure wished Hasbro would learn how to make TRANSFORMERS the RIGHT way.

    If you'll excuse me, I think I'd like to go play with my Generations Warpath now. KaPOW.

    While anything from this line probably won't be on my shelves, I don't mind buying them for the kids in my family. I'll get to play with them, too.

    these will DEFIATELY save my TF collection.
    If my kid looks at my stuff, I'll buy him one of these.

    Any word on the age ranges?

    I'm a bit confused. Does anything actually "transform" with these at all? Are there any robots involved??

    Looks like these are just the human buddy figures that compliment the actual Transformers. I'll pass on these, but the actual Transformers for this line look like a lot of fun for little hands.

    These are not aimed at me, and therefore I am not going to get into an enormous rage about them. Take me as an example.

    There does seem to be a lot of unnecessary hinges, I think these are like HA Basics, maybe they'll somehow work with the actual Robot Heroes Transformers.

    The weapons/tools definately look like a throwback to Action Masters. The Helicopter especially reminds me of Bumblebee's backpack

    Thats what I was thinking, you can tell which partner goes with which bot aswell by colour scheme.

    Looks cool. Many kids of my friends are wanting these when and if they hit the UK

    Are you guys seeing different pictures than me?? I'm just seeing little vehicles that don't look like they transform AT ALL. I mean, did they just re-paint pre-existing Rescue Heroes vehicles with TF symbols?

    Um... There's something I can't quite comprehend. These things are called "Transformers Rescue Bots" but the only TF-related thing on them are the symbols. Um... Why label something Transformers when it doesn't even transform in any way, shape or form? These things look even worse than the crap that was Actionmasters. Is this supposed to be a substitute for RobotHeroes or something? *sigh*

    These will make more sense when you guys see the robots their supposed to partner with.
    Its pretty much the same design aesthetic and colorscheme as these vehicles.

    The Human vehicles don't Transform at all. But their not the part of the line that Transforms. I expect these have really basic action features though.

    The concept is a bunch of younger Autobots who are a rescue team. And they have Human Partners to Assist them, perhaps to help them rationalize Earth Culture, instead of laser blasting Hot Dog carts and City Buses.

    I can understand why Hasbro is keeping decepticons out of this line, being a rescue team. A new show to line up next to "Chuck and Friends" on the Hub.

    Still for fans who like this line art and color style, the lack of decepticons is something a bit disappointing. But you can't really show them causing trouble on this kind of show without Optimus Prime making them Apologise and join the Autobots for an Oil Picnic.

    Excited to see TFs for toddlers! BUT the DOTM line already seems to have some toddlers friendly offerings.

    Why do the humans need non-transforming vehicles? Are they not allowed to ride in the autobots? Can their non-transforming vehicles do MOAR than the autobots?

    Makes no sense to me.

    AGAIN, these supplement the TRANSFORMING robots in this line, which will even have their own show

    tfw, quit covering conventions, it is pointless, it seems nobody pays attention besides like 5 people

    So when do we see pictures of the actual ROBOTS?
