Editorial Review

Resembling a beefed-up Hummer, this all-terrain cruiser for Rescue Heroes figures sports a massive green body, jumbo studded tires, and working sirens and lights mounted to the top. A working tow wench rests on the orange front bumper, which is actually the head of a hidden "bumperbot," or robot, attached to the underside of the vehicle. When paired with a Rescue Hero, the robot communicates in English ("The smoke is heavy!"); otherwise, it's reduced to electronic gibberish. The truck is suitable for a variety of rescue missions--the bumperbot's pneumatic handcuffs, for example, can clear trees or pull victims from car wrecks--and would be a dream toy for many kids. Action figures are sold separately. --Andy Boynton

This review is from: Fisher-Price Rescue Heroes: Robotz All-Terrain Vehicle (Toy)

I bought this toy for my son for his 4th b-day. He is a huge rescue heros fan and we have been quite happy with all other products- until this one. The vehicle itself is great and seems durable. The issue is with the robot that attaches under the front bumber by three small magnets. You have to line the robots receiving ends into the magnet spots. Needless to say it is difficult for an adult, never mind a 4 year old. My son is extremely frustrated with this toy. The wench is actually a part of the robot, so that when he is installed under the bumber the wench is able to be used. However, because of the lack of strength of the magnet, the robot falls off quite easily which means the wench is useless. So, buyer beware- not a real great buy especially if your child is like mine and likes to hook up and tow other things with wenches, hooks etc... We will be returning this toy!

Our son "somehow" let this fall down our stairs onto our hardwood floor...it survived and still works fine...I do agree with the robot and the magnets underneath...not real easy to deal with, but overall, this is a cool toy.

My kids seem to be enjoying this cruiser. It is very "cool" looking....and the nice larger size that most RH vehicles are, but not obnoxiously large.

I agree with the other reviews about the robot/tow capacity! It doesn't seem to stay in place long enough...although they have seemed to pull some things for periods of time...it occasionally falls off though with enough force. The robot guy itself is pretty cool, just wish it did it's job under the car properly. (Oh, and one of my sons doesn't get why the robot hooks more to the "front" to tow, rather than the back..."that's where the tow truck does it, mom! It should be in the back!"-according to him, and he's right! heehee)

I still think it is worthwhile if your child is into RH/vehicles.
