K-Mart has posted the official images of the two new additions to the Rescue Bots team.
Medix the Doc-Bot and
Hoist the Tow-Bot are seen here for the first time outside of the art on their instructions. Medix is a Ratchet themed ambulance right down to the stripe on the side of the vehicle, while Hoist is a blue tow truck, whose overall style and bearing reminds this fan of the tow truck from Robots in Disguise, Tow Line.
Check out the new images by opening the links above - in case they are not working for you we also have the images attached to this story for your convenience.

Next up in our series of Transformers Prime new toy gallery updates we've got the latest addition to the Prime Voyager size class -
Dreadwing! Dreadwing is the new Decepticon who joins the cast early in season 2 to avenge his brother Skyquake, and in toy form he proves to be an excellent and show-accurate representation of the character, albeit with a couple of small elements which might give some of you reservations about picking on up for your Prime Decepticon squad.
Those reservations are, mainly, that the
entire head is made of soft rubber. Not just the crests, as has been the case in the past, but the whole thing. The MechTech gun is another sore point, lacking a post long enough to be carried slung under the arm as on the show, because the hands are molded part open. It's a small point given you need a rubber band to make the gun stay unfolded, but it's still a detractor.
On to the good though, you have an excellent vehicle mode and a surprisingly in-depth transformation, providing for an accurate look in robot and jet modes. Robot mode is very sleek and free of extraneous vehicle mode parts, jet mode regrettably does have a bit of an undercarriage and the hands sticking out the back.
Overall, a toy worth picking up, even with the minor flaws he is one of the best representations of a character in the Transformers Prime line.

As the race grows more desperate, Knock Out harnesses the power of sound while Starscream the power of hyper speed.Want to discuss the Transformers: Prime TV show with your fellow fans? Swing on by TFW's
