Branded asRescue Bots,presumably due to thePlayskoolconnection, this line ofTransformers-themedMr. Potato Headtoys is entirely unrelated to the rest of the line. Lotsa figures of Mr. Potato Head in different scales, dressing up as...Generation 1characters, withRescue Botscharacters finally getting into the mix late into the line (and barely hitting US retail).

Numerous online retailers listed "AD18 Decepticon A" and "AD19 Autobot A" for preorder, but ultimately, nothing ever became of those listings. It can be assumed that whatever toys were planned ended up being canceled, leaving those ID numbers unused.
