If not, I'd guess Cliffjumper, namely because I'm crazy.

I think he was making a joke. It looks nothing like the toy in the pic and its just a BB themed kids vehicle.

I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't Servo turn into a rocket sled or something?

I can actually see it a bit. I see the eyes, the potential for a headcrest, the arms... it's possible

If you're crazy then I'm crazy because that was my first impression, too. The two blue things on the top near the seat is a fake front to the ATV. I think the top of the ATV is the front of the bot with the seat and silver part on the end making the body. The arms are on the sides, you can see the peg holes above the exhaust pipes. The rear wheels would make his legs, and the top "lights" his face with the real ATV front getting pushed onto his back. Yeah, I can see it for sure.
Although, I wonder if it could actually be TLK Squeaks repurposed for Rescue Bots?

In the show, Servo's kind of got a multipurpose transformation function, able to turn into just about anything useful, with him usually turning into some kind of tool or machine, either mobile or stationary.kurthy wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It's color scheme looks like Servo's deco.

Thanks, yeah it was a joke
In all seriousness, I think the smart money is on Fixit - you can unfold it in your head. He's essentially lying on his back. The front wheels are his shoulders. The silver 'seat' is the bit that visually connects to his wheelbase. I imagine his face is hidden at the back of the handlebar assembly.
Of course, if that's the case, his torso would essentially end up looking like an upside-down version of his RID head.
Edit: I'm an idiot. I've just noticed that Emerje has written an almost idential unfolding of it. Well, at least I'm not alone...

Well the mystery seems to be solved on the back of Rescan series Sequoia's packaging, as the figure is not only identified as "Brushfire", but also shown in it's robot mode, utilizing Sequoia in her (Fire?) Axe mode! This also doubles as our first in-hand look at Sequoia! Check out the pics below!
Ha ha! Well, looks like I was waaaaaaay off! LOL

Does it "shock" have elbows !!!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some UK distribution on the Minicon cases - I love them things - I just wish the Police Playset was not being so illusive as I need to get the dog-cycle too.
The long 5mm posts they have would mean they'd be cross-compatible with the 2017 RID toys too (I think)

Bumblebee gets 2 Mini-Cons, but Windchill is MUCH larger so it evens out. First time I had seen or heard about these. They look pretty sweet!
Worth dropping us a line via email with some photos, so we can front page it!

The word 'shot' is probably too violent for Rescue Bots. But yeah, it's the exact same concept.
Posted by Bumblevivisector on January 19th, 2017 @ 10:38pm CST
And customizers who insist on giving every fembot a boob-where possible, please remember that this is a preschool line...
...therefore plenty will turn up on the secondary market with the chest door broken off, making it worth the wait for the dirt cheap price.
Also, turning Blades into a little Indy car gives him a striking resemblance to Leadfoot, my favorite PCC!

TFW2005 just posted tweet with an image of a Combiner for Combiner Force in art form at least on a card standee backing in a store.
It has Strongarm as a right arm , Sideswipe as the left Bumblebee as the chest and Grimlock as the legs - Grimlock is obviously much larger.
I wonder what size the toy version will be ?

Yes indeed - he's quite similar to the Botshots Powerglide and Jetfire.
I hope they get the pricing right on these as those Dinosaur ones were a total mess in the UK if you could find them at all they were twice the american dollar price in a $-£ swap so like $4.00 in USA and £8.00 in the UK - no wonder no one bought them - I was really irked by the 26 missing paint applications on Blades too compared to his packet.
The sad thing is they could have been a really fun size to go with if they'd kept the larger size as it was. but they got a bit greedy - I guess the smaller more or less Deluxe Rescue Bots have their uses though.
But i'll get these so long as Hasbro isn't delusional with the pricing or the stores have a good offer on them.
As when I see a shop selling an RID 3 step for £27 my first thought is to laugh in their face.

Transformers Collectable Edition Playskool Friends! Here's some project shots and official description that also mentions the characters included in the set, one of which, strangely enough, is Arcee.
The little ones will learn about teamwork and unleash their imagination with these 7 cute little autobots!
Includes: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Arcee, Heatwave, Chase, Blades and Boulder.
As mentioned above, these are only listed so far on the Hasbro Portugal site, so world-wide release is not guaranteed, but is probable. Revel in the cuteness in the comments below!

I think they mean like a Power Drill.
To be honest, the hex-head on it makes me think "Lug Wrench" like for putting tires on a racecar. Which makes me wonder if he wasn't intended as part of the racing themes, explaining the Cheetah. But that's circumstancial happenstance,

But if it is hex shaped yes it would look rather wheel-gun like.
I hope they release the whole lot of them in the UK at once as we never got the others here.

The final clip comes from the Rescue Bots portion of the Hasbro stall, showing off the giant Optimus Prime race track, with OP himself becoming the launcher rig, the new Knight Bumblebee who turns into a dragon, and has dragon/weapon minicons (!), and some more new forms for the cast. Check it out below, and compare to our gallery here!
