Found these while looking around....let the hunt for those interested begin

Transformers Rescue Bots Energize Optimus Prime and Cody Burns New Figures | eBay

Transformers Rescue Bots Energize Bumblebee and Graham Burns New Figures | eBay

 

My son is going to love these. Glad that they are finally going to be hitting stores.

 

Wait, I thought BB was coming with Cody? They've got these figures so screwed up by not having a Boulder or Dani....

 

It looks like the gimmick might be magnetized humans or something, since Prime and BB have the same "Circuit" markings on their right arms and the allspark blue weapons look swappable.

Cody's "eyes" are hilarious, though, they make the eyes on those old DOTM HA human figures look huge in comparison!

 

Another human down.

 

I'd buy Boulder in a heartbeat  

 

They look so cute!

 

I contacted the seller and it looks like they found the two for auction at Walmart. So that'll be who's getting the shipments. Happy hunting.

 

Interesting that the first of the Energize group are Optimus and Bee....not the actual FOUR Rescue Bots.  

Cody already comes with Optimus and the Big Rig "Mobile Headquarters" vehicle.

Interesting that the human's hands are getting bigger... 

 

I'm wondering how big these are. Robot Heroes size?
I was initially estimating Optimus and Bumblebee's size by looking at the Cody that comes with the Mobile Headquarters, but then realized it's not the same figure. And the detailing on the bots make them look small. Smaller the better (without being an esophagus clogger).

 

I'd guestimate that the Cody figure is a little larger than RH's...it was with the MHQ set anyway...as far as Optimus and Bee in this set, I'm thinking possibly a little smaller than the other RB's of them...these don't look to transform at all, where the other RB figures do have a tiny bit of transformation.

 

Mostly show accurate Chase? I'm sold!

 

No these don't Transform at all (not even their weapons) they are a lot smaller than the normal toys and the humans have minimal articulation (less than the previous figures had).

I'm glad to see the Humans at all though. as I said previously when these first showed at shows, I think the only way to make Dani sensibly if they don't want to sell her in a single twin pack is to sell her as part of a gift set - like the Major or Frankie or Doc Brown a couple of gift sets would allow those sort of characters to get made.

They don't even need to be the non-transforming one in the sets they can be the normal robots in a different colour for example a yellow Boulder or a G1 colour Blades.

I hope they make some more transforming ones - ideally a little bigger and a little more complex then they could have cabins the human can sit inside off and a few more joints and show accurate faces on Blades etc...

If they just kick the can down the road with repaints and non-transforming toys then let the line fizzle out i'll be very disappointed.

 

Already have Cody with the Mobile Command Center. More show-accurate humans? I'm in.

 

The Cody from the Command Center can actually sit down mind you.

 

Do the human figures in these have any articulation at all?

 

just found all but blades at walmart in butler, PA

 

I was excited when I spotted these on my local Wal-Mart shelves until I picked them up. No articulation at all on the humans, at least none that I could see with them still in package. One of the things I like about the Rescue Bots is the articulated human companions. I would like articulated versions of these characters, especially Cody, but a statue of him does me no good.

I am still waiting to army build Cleveland Walkers to make a group of construction workers to place in peril so Batman, Spider-Man, and all of my Playskool/Imaginext heroes have some folks to rescue.

 

None that I can tell with them tied to the packaging. I wasn't curious enough to buy one to find out since the answer is probably no. Besides, these have to go on clearance after the holiday since they are just recently stocking them.

 

You guys reporting the sightings, any chance I can get a picture or something so I can throw a release report onto the frontpage?
