I recently received another compilation DVD for Transformers Rescue Bots. This is a show that my daughter and I enjoy watching together and my son is just starting to get into. We’ve collected all of the toys and are eagerly awaiting the dinosaur themed episodes that I hope are coming (based on what I’ve seen of the toys). But to tide us over we have this DVD which collects five episodes from the series with a mystery theme for each one. While the collector in me is thoroughly frustrated in not having a complete season on DVD and getting a DVD with a mixture of episodes from season 1 and season 2 on it I still like having the episodes for the kids to watch. The kids aren’t paying attention to continuity that much at this time anyway.

DVD Synopsis:

“The TRANSFORMERS RESCUE BOTS, CHASE, HEATWAVE, BLADES and BOULDER, are charged with the important task of protecting the town of Griffin Rock. Relying on their courage and friendship, these TRANSFORMERS are also aided by a family of first responders, chief among them is a young boy named Cody. This is a big task at the best of times, but even more so when uncovering the mysteries of Griffin Rock! This mystery-themed collection of Transformers: Rescue Bots will be released on DVD September 2nd, 2014 from Shout! Factory Kids, in conjunction with Hasbro Studios. Featuring five exciting episodes that the whole family can enjoy, this DVD is priced to own with a suggested retail price of $14.93.

The small, happy town of Griffin Rock has a mystery on its hands. Make that FIVE mysteries! And it’s up to CHASE, HEATWAVE, BLADES, BOULDER and the Burns Family to solve them.
