Transformers: Rescue Bots is a series in the Transformers franchise, targeted towards younger children than its comparatives: Transformers: Prime and Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015). Two episodes first aired as a sneak preview in December of 2011, with the series premiering properly in 2012.Set in the "Aligned continuity", the series focuses on Heatwave, Chase, Blades, and Boulder, the last surviving group of "Rescue Bots", who come to Earth in response to Optimus Prime's message to Autobots scattered across the universe. However, rather than roll out for battle, Optimus has a different task in mind for them: acting as ambassadors to humanity and working as "Rescue Bots" once again. They are instructed to masquerade as advanced machinery and work with the Burns, a family of first-responders who live and work in the town of Griffin Rock, a technologically advanced town that's on the cutting edge of scientific advancement.With Chase partnered with police chief Charlie Burns, Heatwave with fireman Kade, Blades with helicopter pilot Dani, and Boulder with engineer Graham, the humans, save for Charlie, are initially unaware of their new vehicles' true identity as alien robots. That is, until the youngest member of the family, Cody, deduces the truth and befriends the alien machines. Soon enough, the secret becomes known to the whole family, and together, they work to save the people of Griffin Rock from all manner of natural disasters and science gone awry.As it's targeted towards a (slightly) younger demographic, Rescue Bots is considerably Lighter and Softer than other Transformers media, focusing on telling more lighthearted stories about rescue operations and teamwork, rather than on the war with the Decepticons, as most Transformers series do. However, the series does take some Broad Strokes from current Transformers media, particularly that of its sister series, Transformers: Prime, and even has characters from Prime and its sequel series Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) cross over once or twice (plus vice versa on one occasion). Rescue Bots also uses an animation style similar to that of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and has a fairly impressive voice cast, including Steve Blum, Maurice LaMarche, and LeVar Burton. Peter Cullen makes frequent guest appearances as Optimus Prime.This being a Transformers series, Rescue Bots has an accompanying toy line (which predates the show). Just as the animated series is targeted towards (slightly) younger viewers than previous Transformers series, so too are the toys, featuring simplistic transformations and playsets as well as tie-in stories packaged with the toys themselves.A Sequel Series, Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy, debuted in 2019.Now has a Recap Page.

Gone Horribly Wrong: In the people of Griffin Rock's defense, who knew that putting a fake-but-functioning volcano in the middle of a populated island would lead to a natural disaster? No one could have predicted it. No one at all. The Griffin Rock Safety Board was created in place of the Burnses after they were suspended from rescue duties due to being related to a pirate. This eventually spiralled into chaos as the board were heavily inexperienced in said duties and were often unable to respond to any emergency or wind up causing even more damage in the process. Eventually, Milo (one of its members) points out how useless the Safety Board was and demands they reinstate the Burnses.

 Transformers: Rescue Bots / int_1f343bac
comment
No Equal-Opportunity Time Travel: Averted. Frankie (who is black) and Cody end up in 1939, but no one comments on Frankie's race or gender. Besides being due to Rescue Bots being a children's show, this probably has something to do with the facts that 1) the only people who actually meet them are the scientists who are more concerned with the robots that came through their time-travel machine, and 2) Cody and Frankie are children. However, many of the town's top scientists of that era seem to be non-white. Griffin Rock was as far ahead socially from the rest of the country as it was technologically.

Mythology Gag
 Transformers: Rescue Bots / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: This being a Transformers series, the show is already accumulating quite a few of these. Heatwave's alternate mode is very similar to that of Optimus Prime's in Transformers: Cybertron and Robots in Disguise. The first episode features malfunctioning, rampaging robot dinosaurs, in a story that is similar to the plot of the Transformers: Animated episode that introduced the Dinobots. And, as noted above, the first episode features the Rescue Bots picking up a message from Optimus Prime calling them to Earth, much like the ones spoken in Transformers: Prime and in Transformers (2007). They also have an Elaborate Underground Base left over from the Cold War, just like the Autobots do in Prime. The Rescue Bots are first shown in "blank", featureless forms prior to scanning alternate modes, similar to the "Protoforms" from the movie and Beast Wars series. One episode involves a "dinobot". However, this type of dinobot is just a pet, with "dinobot" simply being the nickname for it. The Rescue Bots have screens inside their vehicle modes that display their faces, like in Transformers: Robots in Disguise. The Morocco virus' toy form closely resembles Morocco's Playskool action figure.

Halloween Episode: "Ghost in the Machine", which has Griffin Rock celebrating a similar holiday called Earlyween. Twin criminals Evan and Myles scheme to expose the existence of the Rescue Bots to the entire world by uploading a recording of Quickshadow to the Internet. The denizens of Griffin Rock thwart the brothers' plan by creating another video that convinces everyone that the alien robots are fake, inspired by Cody Burns having listened to a pastiche of The War of the Worlds radio drama while he was at school.

Awesome, but Impractical: Energon can be adapted as an emergency source of power in almost any electronics. Unprocessed energon works the same, but used in its raw state is the equivalent of using a bomb to power your house. In its stable state, it's a lot safer to use and is on par with nuclear power, but usage is still dangerous in a different sense such as when it's being leeched from a Cybertronian.

Truncated Theme Tune: In an odd first-run example, the first episode of the series had just a Title Card and a snippet of theme music. Subsequent episodes have the full Theme Tune and opening animation. Played straight thereafter: The season one Theme Tune has a verse about Cody guiding the bots and one last refrain of the "Roll to the Rescue!" chorus. It is removed from most of the episodes after season 1.

Recap by Audit: In two-parters, Huxley Prescott often recaps the events of part one as part of his news show. In "The More Things Stay the Same", Quickshadow recaps the events of "The More Things Change..." in the context of it being a report to Optimus. In "Today and Forever", Frankie convinces Cody to document the situation due to the absurdity of it. To recap, Griffin Rock was teleported to the North Pole after a large active teleportation crystal accidentally was dropped onto the island's underground Reactaline veins.

Adapted Out: The original toyline and its associated storybooks that were released shortly before the television series was developed originally gave Blades, Chase and Boulder the respective human partners Sawyer Storm, Jack Tracker (aka Billy Blastoff and Hunter) and Walker Cleveland as well as a Team Pet consisting of a Dalmatian named Sparkplug. The animated series replaces the human partners with Dani Burns, Chief Charlie Burns and Graham Burns, while Sparkplug was left out entirely *Amusingly enough one episode of the animated series has Cody take care of a dog whose real name is Buster.

The World Is Not Ready: The reason why the Rescue Bots have to be "robots in disguise". However, the usual Transformers trappings are played with in that they get to pose as advanced machinery and not hide their robot modes. This is all part of a gradual plan to get humanity used to their presence.

Wolverine Publicity: Optimus Prime has his own playset in the toy-line, while he isn't (currently) a main character in the show. He makes considerably more appearances in Season 2 and especially Season 3. Bumblebee likewise has a big presence in the toy-line, despite appearing less often each season: three episodes in Season One, just one in Season Two, and not even mentioned in Season Three, Season 4 brings him back for a guest appearance.

Batman Gambit: The Energon Eater pulls this off with an already-abandoned ship and a supply of energon, as it re-powers the ship to send a distress call to nearby ships to lure them in. The Rescue Bots pull one off in the same episode prior to their visit to Earth: In order to escape the Energon Eater, everyone puts themselves and the ship in stasis, programming the ship to respond and head towards any major Cybertronian signals such as ones transmitted by a Prime, fully aware that they'll be absent from an annual spot-check and be sent a signal which would lead them back to Cybertron. This almost works, as the ship instead responds to Optimus Prime's signal to land on Earth.

Actor Allusion: In "New Normal", Mayor Luskey remarks "This is why I hate nature", which is an apparent play on Carmine Fanzone's catchphrase of "This is why I hate machines" from Transformers: Animated. Both Luskey and Fanzone were voiced by Jeff Bennett. In the Season 4 episode "Enemy of My Enemy", Heatwave retorts to Kade "you were expecting Starscream?". Which is appropriate as Steve Blum has voiced both of them.

Boring, but Practical: One machine sent to the Island of Misfit Tech is a ScrapMaster robot built with automatic sensors to analyse trash to destroy, but it was rendered too dangerous due to faulty systems causing it to flag everything to be destroyed. A later episode has a more recent version of it deployed on Griffin Rock that just uses a simpler system where you shoot the intended objects with a special paintball gun to flag them.

Noodle Incident: Chief Burns during the Flobster parade: "At least it wasn't livestock this time". The historical conflict between Cybertron and the Velgrox. When a Velgrox invasion group arrives in Griffin Rock with the intent of conquering the planet and consuming the population, when they meet the Rescue Bots, they immediately surrender, cede planetary ownership rights to the Cybertronians and retreat without ever fighting. Whatever the Cybertronians did to the Vetrox to make them so afraid that they can defeat them just by publicly introducing themselves must have been a monumental victory. Blades apparently sank Heatwave once.

Artistic License – Paleontology: "Land Before Prime" features a group of dinosaurs - a Tyrannosaurus, a Triceratops, a Stegosaurus, a Brachiosaurus, and a pterosaur (okay, yeah, we know) - attacking the team as a unit. Why the herbivores would be cool so close to their alpha predator is unknown. A full grown Brachiosaurus is so large and powerful, if they hadn't been seperated by centuries of time, a Tyrannosaurus would be wise to avoid this herbivore for fear of being crushed by stomping. Consequently, an adult Brachiosaur would have no fear of predators.

The Griffin Rock Safety Board was created in place of the Burnses after they were suspended from rescue duties due to being related to a pirate. This eventually spiralled into chaos as the board were heavily inexperienced in said duties and were often unable to respond to any emergency or wind up causing even more damage in the process. Eventually, Milo (one of its members) points out how useless the Safety Board was and demands they reinstate the Burnses.

Broad Strokes: The series opens with the Rescue Bots' ship picking up a message sent to the stars by Optimus Prime, beckoning them to planet Earth. This is essentially similar to one sent by Optimus at the end of the Five-Episode Pilot of Transformers: Prime (itself inspired by yet another instance in Transformers (2007)). Furthermore, references to a "fallen Cybertron" and Heatwave expecting to "roll out" with other Autobots hint that other aspects of the "Aligned continuity" are present in this universe as well.

Ace Pilot: Dani, naturally. Her being partnered with Blades, who is both afraid of heights and, until coming to Earth, had wheels, causes about as much frustration as you might expect. The Rescue Bots comic states that Chase is the pilot for their spaceship, and a very talented one.

Time Skip: Season 4 shows an older Cody and Frankie, alongside Quickshadow, a female Autobot, and the Greenes having a new baby, CeCe. The series also now takes place concurrently with Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015), as Bumblebee is depicted as having his voice restored and Sideswipe showing up.

In fact, it gets so bad that Optimus and Bumblebee has to step in and help stop the madness!

Masquerade

Masquerade: The Rescue Bots have to hide their true selves and pass as advanced machinery. This being Transformers, it lasts all of one episode in regards to the Burns family. Heatwave isn't happy about this fact at first, especially in regards to being bossed around by Kade. That's right, they're Robots in Disguise... as robots. Somewhat justified, as fully sentient robots able to think for themselves without human guidance might cause a panic. If one of the Rescue Bots goes evil (not malfunctioning), it could tarnish the reputations of the Rescue Bots, the Burnses, and possibly the Autobots by extension."The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock" might have a handwave: In case the humans can't be with the Rescue Bots, the Bots have a programmed AI first directive of saving lives even without their drivers. If their cover gets blown to pieces in the process, it isn't as important as those lives saved. However, at the end of Season 3, Optimus gives the team permission to end this and in the Season 4 premiere, they do years later.

However, Blades has to stay away from human-sized objects such as chairs or sleeping in houses due to his original bot form.

Time Machine: Doc Greene finds one in "It's a Bot Time". It was built in 1939, but couldn't be powered until the present day, with nuclear power (or energon, as the Bots find out). Turns out that Doctor Morocco also built a functional, smaller one and had it shipped on the S.S Phantom Voyager, but couldn't get to use it since a lightning strike accidentally set it off and caused the ship to appear every 10 years per hour until Graham inserts some energon to stabilize it. Another one in the form of a pocket watch was unintentionally used by Cody, yet again built by Morocco.

The Rescue Bots believe that he died in the explosion until Blurr asks them how to turn off a cloaking device that turned on by accident. In "Virtual Disaster", when Cody and Blades are being attacked by a video game dragon, they come to what looks like a sword embedded in the ground. Instead of it being a weapon, it's a lever that makes the platform it's on float into the sky.

However, the machine is not without flaws, such as only being able to rejuvenate Morocco for short periods of time, and he needs a Verne device to use it. Doc Greene indirectly uses a device capable of forming this in the form of a gadget intended to preserve food. It performs an inversion on Cody by turning him into an adult due to having one part of the whole machine which promoted age, and the youth part later used on Kade by Evan and Myles due to having the other part.

Throw the Dog a Bone: In a meta-sense. Michael Bell had expressed interest in returning to the Transformers franchise, auditioning to reprise his roles from the original cartoon as Prowl and Swoop for Transformers: Animated (Prowl went to Jeff Bennett and Swoop was The Speechless, instead) and auditioning for Ratchet and William Fowler for Rescue Bots's sister series, Transformers: Prime (whom instead went to Jeffrey Combs and Ernie Hudson respectively), before being cast as High Tide here.

Our Founder
 Transformers: Rescue Bots / int_98f19e68
comment
The Burns family is descended from the founder of Griffin Rock. His wife however, was infamous for being a pirate who robbed a charity fund. Thanks to Woodrow telling Huxley, this somehow came back to bite the Burnses as Mayor Luskley suspends them from rescue duties. It turns out that after she did, she gave up piracy to avoid revealing her identity and giving her new family a bad name in favour for her husband. She then left her last treasures to her descendants should they find it to repent her actions by requesting it to be given to charity as intended prior to her theft of it.

Holding the Floor: Part of Cody and Quickshadow's plan to recover stolen energon involves Dani flying in a carrier jet to not only carry the energon and the Pynch Cells containing them, but to also distract Madeleine Pynch. The trope comes into play after an unexpected event left Chief Burns and Heatwave inside the compound after the team lost control of the security system.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 Transformers: Rescue Bots / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: This is Kade's initial reaction to the Autobots, considering them mere machines and being frustrated about how he has to do things like ask his ride to "roll down the window" for him. Heatwave himself flips this in "The Vigilant Town", insisting that the new town computer, Vigil, is "an it, not a he". "Flobsters On Parade" ends with the titular creatures being grounded and quickly devoured by the townspeople. Since they're prone to displaying some very human facial expressions, this is troubling.

Heck, one event doesn't even sink in until Chief Burns tells him that Professor Baranova accepted his marriage proposal! To be fair, some of his inventions were sabotaged by Dr Morocco before his debut. Boulder as well. It took him quite some time to process that a lion wasn't the best choice for a Team Pet.

Too Dumb to Live: For an island of so-called geniuses they veer into this territory a bit too often. The king of this trope is probably Mayor Luskey. A lot of problems in Griffin Rock stem from his ego, blame-shifting, and total ineptitude at pretty much everything he does. He's at his worst in "The Vigilant Town", where his demands that an experimental computer meant to protect the town be turned on full power, even after it demonstrates that it's willing to violate civil liberties to perform its function. Even keeping in mind that these are simplified stories to be told in 20 minutes, how could the Bots or the Burnses not have any security at all guarding the Autobot section of the rescue bay?

Walk, Don't Swim
 Transformers: Rescue Bots / int_c37fb907
comment
Walk, Don't Swim: On the occasions the Rescue Bots have been seen to perform aquatic rescues, they've consistently been portrayed as too heavy to swim, thus being forced to walk or drive along the ocean floor. Heatwave eventually averts this after Optimus give him the ability to store a third form, and gets an idea when he spots a wrecked but functional fireboat underwater.

Shout-Out
 Transformers: Rescue Bots / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Griffin Rock is rather similar to Eureka, Oregon, don't you think? Doc's car in episode 3 looks a lot like a certain modified DeLorean. That's only one reference. The rest are: The episode about fixing a Bad Future is titled "Bot to the Future". The episode "Hot Rod Bot" has a mockup of the Back to the Future theme! In "The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock", one of the panicking citizens' phone calls causes a character to retort that her husband Edgar is not a giant cockroach from Mars. Edgar, the villain in the first Men in Black film, was a giant cockroach alien. In the same episode, a character runs down a street claiming, "They're everywhere, they're everywhere", from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Blades references ET. The episode also references Alien and Predator. If you want to get even more obscure, the whole town panicking over an "alleged broadcast" of an alien invasion is a reference to the genuine hysteria that resulted from the 1938 radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds. There's also references to The Blob (1958). The episode title "Four Bots and a Baby" seems like a pretty clear reference to the film Three Men and a Baby. The cross-eyed lion in one episode is a reference to Clarence the Cross-Eyed Lion. Deputy Barney is a reference to Barney Fife. The fully charged Rescue Boy resembles a Super Saiyan. Cody finds his dad's old go-kart, named the Rolling Thunder. Video game references in "Virtual Disaster" include Mario and Fire jump, a sword in a rock, and when the game is broken, C.A.T. saying the infamous phrase All your base are belong to us. For non-video game references, C.A.T. itself is both an homage to the Cheshire Cat and a Godzilla-like monster.Not to mention... In "Bots and Robbers" Chase reads a Dick Tracy Comic, and when Chase goes undercover and helps the twin robbers Blades says: A double-reference is that "Grand Theft Auto" is an actual police term related to stolen vehicles. The scene in which Frankie is trapped in a phone booth by flying lobsters in "Flobsters on Parade" seems to be inspired by a similar scene in The Birds. Only in the movie, it was birds, not flobsters. In "No Place Like Dome", Frankie's toy rocket smashes in a lunar globe with eyes, a nod to "A Trip to the Moon". At the end of a video Quickshadow shows Evan & Myles, the subsequent UI is near-identical to the one used on YouTube when a video ends on mobile versions at the time. Blades compares the plan to bring Griffin Rock back to Maine to a movie he saw about a house floating with balloons and featured talking dogs. The Maven Danger series is a very obvious reference to James Bond. In "Ghost in the Machine", a hacked Quickshadow manages to do a turbo boost jump. The episode title "To Infinity ... and Back". A pen floats in front of Danni while in space, a la 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Series Continuity Error: In Prof. Baranova's first appearance, Frankie was a Shipper on Deck for Baranova and her father, but in "Quarry vs. Quarry" it's implied she's uncomfortable with someone replacing her mother. This can easily be explained as Frankie simply changing her mind about it as Baranova and her dad got closer.

Lighter and Softer: For starters, the show doesn't feature Decepticons aside from the group being mentioned occasionally. The series is especially notable in depicting this trope in that Word of God places the series within the Transformers Aligned Universe, meaning it allegedly shares some form of continuity with Transformers: Prime and the High Moon Studios games, entries in the franchise known for being somewhat Darker and Edgier than traditional fare.

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: In "Family of Heroes", Frankie didn't seem to care about the Rescue Bots, partially justified since Griffin Rock has numerous robots already. She's more interested in the new robot dinosaurs exhibit in the museum. Though she became curious about them when they seemed a little too smart in "The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock".note Namely, after noticing that they weren't being driven and later asking her father about self-driving cars, which even he had difficulty conceiving. Eventually she discovers the truth about them.

The king of this trope is probably Mayor Luskey. A lot of problems in Griffin Rock stem from his ego, blame-shifting, and total ineptitude at pretty much everything he does. He's at his worst in "The Vigilant Town", where his demands that an experimental computer meant to protect the town be turned on full power, even after it demonstrates that it's willing to violate civil liberties to perform its function.

Luckily, Chase prepared for this.

Other human antagonists are introduced after him.

comment
Expy: The Rescue Bots team has a similar purpose and theme to the Protectobots from Generation 1, with all of them (save Boulder) turning into the same kind of emergency vehicles. In practice, they also resemble archetypal characters from the broader Transformers mythos: Heatwave shares an alternate mode with Hot Spot, the Protectobots' leader. He's also cut from the same cloth as Optimus Prime himself, with similar design elements. Optimus also turned into a fire truck in several Transformers series, for the record. His hotheadedness, however, is more reminiscent of Generation 1 Hot Rod. He's also similar to "Rescue Roy", a character from an earlier Transformers toy line that was also targeted towards younger children. Chase is evocative of Prowl and shares his Robots in Disguise incarnation's fondness for adhering to and enforcing the rules. Blades shares a name and alternate mode with Generation 1 Blades, but his fear of heights while also being a flier is more reminiscent of Silverbolt, leader of the Aerialbots. Finally, Boulder is clearly based on Bulkhead, right down to his colors, similar design, and being a Gentle Giant who loves Earth, painting and is all-around smarter than he looks. His robot mode design (treads for arms, front for legs) is also similar to Scavenger's. Doctor Greene is a human example, based heavily on Doc Brown from the Back to the Future franchise.

Freudian Trio It sometimes depends on the scenario for who fits certain roles, but generally: It's a rather fitting parallel with the Rescue Bots: The McCoy: Blades The Spock: Chase The Kirk: Heatwave or Boulder Their partners, however, mix things up slightly. The McCoy: Kade or Dani The Spock: Graham The Kirk: Charlie or Cody (it should be noted that Cody is Chase's partner in the toy lore)

comment
Crush Filter: Played with, and Played for Laughs. In "Bugs in the System", the B-plot is Graham being too shy and awkward to talk to the new scientist he has a crush on. Kade's idea of helping results in pretty much making Graham a copy of himself. So when Graham sees the girl he likes, all the Crush Filter normal events fall into effect ... except the whole thing is out of focus because Graham doesn't have his glasses.

Crossover: Some of the later episodes feature guest appearances by 'Bots from Prime, as well as Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) due to the Time Skip. One of the Rescue Bots (Blurr) would in turn put in a guest appearance on Robots in Disguise as well.

Famous Ancestor
 Transformers: Rescue Bots / int_eb7a5313
comment
Famous Ancestor: The Burns family is descended from the founder of Griffin Rock. His wife however, was infamous for being a pirate who robbed a charity fund. Thanks to Woodrow telling Huxley, this somehow came back to bite the Burnses as Mayor Luskley suspends them from rescue duties. It turns out that after she did, she gave up piracy to avoid revealing her identity and giving her new family a bad name in favour for her husband. She then left her last treasures to her descendants should they find it to repent her actions by requesting it to be given to charity as intended prior to her theft of it.

Locked Out of the Loop: Several antagonists such as Madeleine Pynch and Evan & Myles miss the public reveal that The Rescue Bots are aliens due to either laying low or imprisoned at the time. This was initially Graham's problem with Boulder, who the former refused to tell the latter what he was thinking when formulating plans.

Unskilled, but Strong
 Transformers: Rescue Bots / int_f25b1ae6
comment
Unskilled, but Strong: While the Rescue Bots aren't combat class, they're still quite strong. The Rescue Bots do predate the militarization of Cybertron, but it's unclear just how much fighting they were involved in as part of their job. Aside from dangerous wildlife native to Cybertron, at least one of the Rescue Bots was a cop back on their world, and the place did have criminals.

Never Say "Die"
 Transformers: Rescue Bots / int_f51c5f3c
comment
Never Say "Die": Taken to silly extremes in "The Haunting of Griffin Rock", comparing dead people to time-travelers instead of simply calling them dead. Also appears in the third season finale two-parter, "Now and Then" and "Today and Forever"; it would be hard to not understand that the Rescue Bots are going to die when they use their own energon to power the forcefield generators, but everyone trails off or uses euphemisms instead of actually saying the word.

Comically Missing the Point: After Cody (now transformed into an adult) saves Hayley's life during a rescue, Hayley attempts to ask him out on a date. Still thinking like a child, Cody hasn't yet learned the language of flirting. This frequently happens when the team often misinterpret Quickshadow's British idioms.

Removed Achilles' Heel: Doc Greene creates a new gas similar to helium called "floatium", which only floats a set distance from the ground and lasts a lot longer than helium. This was likely created in response to a prior accident involving a helium-filled parade balloon which nearly killed him had if not the Rescue Bots intervened.
