New Transformers: Rescue Bots Toys Revealed at New York Toy Fair

Hasbro revealed new Transformers: Rescue Bots (Amazon.com search*) at the New York Toy Fair yesterday. I missed their media event — I didn’t even get to my hotel until after the event had ended — but I did receive an e-mail with photos and info on upcoming toys.

I’ve been loving the Rescue Bots line since it was released in 2011 and fully expect to grab some of the upcoming releases. This isn’t everything, but the Optimus Prime — with a trailer! — and the Flip Changers toys will very likely be bought when I see them.

You can read my earlier Transformers: Rescue Bots reviews for more on the line.
