    Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

    Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
    Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
    binky-30926 Guess I got spoiled by Transformers Prime, because this show sucks. Characters suck, voice acting sucks(except Peter Cullen of course). Stereotypical garbage. Basically one family runs the town. Can't stand the guy with the fire truck (Cade, I think). Just no.
    Samgina Terrell My oldest son first became interested in Rescue Bots when my husband and I purchased the Rescue Bots game for his LeapPad. Since then he has seen all the episodes (numerous times) and hasn't got sick of viewing them yet. I do not have the same concerns as a previous parent/reviewer who commented about the women being too curvy and men looking too strong with square jaws and six packs. My son is four (turning five next month) and the only thing he "sponges" from this show is the importance of helping and saving others. He sees how the Rescue Bots and the "Griffin Rock team" (the police chief, firefighter, helicopter pilot, etc) go out of their way to help and save the people who live in Griffin Rock. I always try to ask my son questions about the shows or movies he watches. Sometimes you'll be surprised to know your child has "sponged" something unexpected, like the act of kindness of others. My son wants to be a Rescue Bot (even the whole family joins in) so he can help mom, dad, brother, even his small town. I'm very pleased with Rescue Bots and we can't wait for season two!!
    valfaro342 I feel that the writers tried to direct the show towards a younger audience, but at the same time they missed. The drawings are cute, but the women are all very curvy. The mayor is a middle aged heavy set man and his wife is a skinny, busty, super model type woman which I feel is a little much for a child's show. They also have a "Miss Griffin Rock" competition in which all the women are in bikinis and of course the mayor is hosting it. I am a little disappointed that they are pushing innuendo into a young children's show, almost all main women characters are drawn curvy. I might sound a bit extreme, but I feel like this show is a bad example for kids, like women are supposed to look a certain way and the men are supposed to look strong and have square jaws and 6 packs. I don't understand why animation people do this, I thought it was supposed to be directed towards children, not adults. My kids were watching it and I had them watch something else, kids are like sponges and we need to be careful about what they absorb. Anyways, I feel Transformers Prime is way better! :-)
    ersinkdotcom Hasbro takes a page from Marvel for their new television show "Transformers: Rescue Bots." They make the Robots in Disguise look cuter and more toddler friendly to grab that audience. It's something toy manufacturers and television producers have been doing for decades. Anybody remember "Muppet Babies," "Tiny Toons," "The Flintstone Kids," or "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo?""Transformers: Rescue Bots" brings the metallic heroes to the town of Griffin Rock, Maine. Each of the four Transformers take on the forms of a bulldozer, fire engine, helicopter, and police car. Chase, Heatwave, Blades, and Boulder are recruited by Optimus Prime to assist a police chief, firefighter, helicopter pilot, and engineer fight fires, aliens, and other dangers.The show is perfect for younger children and geared to them. However, most Transformers fans will enjoy the show for what it is. It moves at a quick pace and is entertaining yet simple. Like most animated shows these days, there's a message of some type for kids.This would fit in perfectly with "The Superhero Squad" on Saturday mornings. The animation is similar but still has its own flavor mixed with it. It's colorful and fun to look at, which is perfect for its target viewers."Transformers: Rescue Bots" will keep children and their parents enthralled with quality family-friendly adventures featuring everyone's favorite robots.
