Rescue Roy

[DL] But wait -- there's more! From Hasbro's Tonka brand comes Rescue Roy, a friendly and child-safe official Transformers toy. In the spirit of the classic My First Transformer toys, the electronic, talking Roy is set to indoctrin--er, introduce younger children to the exciting and interactive world of the Transformers.

[DK] Just took a quick stop here to see Rescue Roy, the new Tonka 1-2-3 Transformer. For a transformer for a young child, it looked very well done, and it has articulation, too. I also noticed that Tonka was written on the toy in chrome lettering in a few places. Apparently Hasbro is trying to combine a product from the two companies into one. The box also did feature the Beast Machines font.
