Playskool Heroes Transformers Rescue Bots Energize Chase the Police-Bot Figure

We stumbled across Rescue Bots on Netflix and my toddler really enjoyed the show. He was almost three at Christmas time and after reading great reviews about these toys we decided to purchase them as a Christmas gift. He has gotten so much play out of these toys! They are easy for him to transform, they are very sturdy, and even his older brother (8) and older sister (10) can be persuaded by him to play along. We purchased Chase, Boulder, Blades and even Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, but Heat Wave wasn't available at Christmas. (We were able to find it on Amazon later.) I have to say that Chase is my favorite! He is so easy to transform and even after months and months of three year old play he looks brand new. There are no parts to fall off or get lost, just a great toy that does what it is supposed to do. Finding such a fun toy at around $10 was fabulous. This toy is an excellent value, I don't regret it for a second. It makes me smile every time I hear him make his little transformer noise and say, "Rescue Bots, let's roll to 'da Rescue."

Our 3 year old is obsessed with RescueBots at the moment. He loves this Chase toy. I definitely think this toy and the other Rescue Bot toys in this line are well suited for 3 year olds. There really is just one movement to get them to transform from their vehicle mode to bot mode. So he does it on his own and loves going back and forth. Someone bought him a more complex transformers toy and he gets so frustrated with the multiple moves to make it transform that it isn't even fun in the end.I will say - there isn't much to this toy. Apart from transforming, his parts do not move all that much. An older child might get bored with this since you cannot maniuplate the legs and arms very much.Highly recommended for young transformer fans.

I bought "Octimus Prime", as my 4-year-old son likes to call him, along with Chase (the police car) and Blades (the helicopter) to have on a long plane ride with several layovers. We took out one at a time, and it was a huge hit. We predicted he'd get tired of them quickly, because they are not animated or anything like that, but we were wrong. They remain some of his favorite toys nearly a month later, and was a complete sanity-saver on the long flight. They are durable and transform easily, and for the price, they are hard to beat. If you have a little guy who has any kind of inkling about who the Transformes or Rescuebots are, this will be a hit. The ONLY downside would be, don't expect to keep the tools. They disappeared within a week, but he doesn't miss them and still plays with them daily.

As with the rest of the Rescue Bots in the Energize series, Chase is built well. He has held up to quite a bit of man handling (boy handling?) and rougher playing from my nephew. The Rescue Bots from this series are also quite a bit larger than subsequent ones which I also like. Chase was easy for the kiddo to transform when he first got him at about age 3.5, and though he's starting to move up to the basic regular Transformers (one step changers), these are still in line with those, so he hasn't quite outgrown them yet at age 5. Overall a very good purchase, that I'm still happy with a year and a half later.Although I frequently do reviews on products offered to me at a promotional price, this was a personal purchase. I paid full retail price,and was not asked, nor am I obligated to give a review.

Chase the rescue bot was purchased as a gift for my son. He loves it and plays with it all the time. The method for transforming these guys is so easy (especially compared to the transformers toys from when I was a kid). These toys are also very tough. My son is not easy on his toys and it has held up fine. The wheels turn easily making Chase roll easily when he is in police car mode. Again, I have to say that the transforming process for these toys is just amazingly easy and fun.The packaging was exactly as it was pictured. If you want to use it as a gift, that would work.
