Day 185: Rescue Force Drill

  Wrapping up the unnamed Rescue Force team released in Europe and Australasia is this drill tank. Though this Autobot has clear animalistic cues on his helmet, he does not come with the rhino sidekick that accompanied this toy's previous incarnation, as that of the Decepticon   Drillhorn . Among the many oddities of these late-toyline figures is that they were based on previously released combiner figures, but were not equipped with the necessary pieces to fully make their combined form (not to mention were missing their full roster). So the Rescue Team can sort of combine, though nothing on the packaging indicates this. This toy was available in 1992. 

Day 184: Rescue Force Buggy

Continuing the 1992 Europe and Australasia release of nameless "Rescue Force" Autobots is this guy, who turns into a dune buggy. This toy was originally a Japanese exclusive 1989 Breastforce Decepticon named   Jallguar , who is now a good guy and doesn't come with his chest-piece animal companion. .

Day 183: Rescue Force Tank

Another odd European redeco of Japan's Breastforce Decepticons as Autobot heroes, this unnamed Rescue Force tank robot turns into KMW Gepard tank, but its anti-aircraft cannons have been replaced with grasper arms. This is the same design   as Killbison , but now a friendly neighborhood tank albeit without a name. He was available in European and Australasian markets in 1992. This drawing is from 2019. 

Day 182: Rescue Force Jet

Here's an oddity from the sketchy years where Generation One had ended in the US, but product was still moving in other countries. In 1992, the Japanese "Breastforce" toys, released as Decepticons in 1989, were redecoed as an Autobot "Rescue Force" team in Europe and Australia. They had no bios or individual names. This jet from the team is  a redeco of Leozak .
