'''A volcano threatens Griffin Rock, sending the Rescue Bots and Burns family into action.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:UnderPressure Boulder breaks pinball.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Big, green, sensitive, and clumsy. Sounds [[Bulkhead (Animated)|familiar]] enough...]]
While [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] pursue an out-of-control [[robo-landscaper]] through [[Griffin Rock]], [[Cody Burns]] reports that the rest of the team might be delayed, as his siblings are having trouble coming to terms with the fact that their rescue vehicles are [[Autobot|alien robots]]. Chase loses their suspect, only for Burns to realize the robo-landscaper is coming up behind them. Chase transforms, somersaults backward over it, and throws it into a dumpster while reading it its rights. That done, the rest of the team finally arrive, with the Burns family complaining that their Autobot teammates are too difficult to work with. [[Kade Burns|Kade]] is especially unimpressed when [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] transforms with him still inside. Cody promises to talk to his siblings.

Unfortunately, Kade, [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] aren't that interested in hearing about the Autobots' problems. Heatwave contacts [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], but Optimus is confident they'll learn to work with the humans. Cody tells the four bots he has a new plan to help them bond with their human partners. He lures his brothers and sister down to the bunker, but things don't go well; [[Boulder]] breaks the pinball machine, and Dani only wants to talk about flying with [[Blades (RB)|Blades]]. Their bonding session comes to an abrupt end when Burns contacts them with the news that the sewers and pipes on Main and Park are overflowing with lava and glue. The team scrambles.

[[Image:UnderPressure Chase saves motorist.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"I shall call her Squishy, and she shall be my Squishy...]]
When one impatient speeding woman drives right into the lava and glue, Chase has to save her from her rapidly melting car. Cody's siblings continue to have trouble working with their partners. Kade even brings his own fire truck, though he inadvertently parks it over a manhole, and after a burst of lava and glue causes it to explode, Heatwave saves him. Cody calls [[Doc Greene]], who is hanging upside-down. Greene reveals that the artificial [[Mount Magma]] is the likely source of the lava, and that the lava will cover the island in just under 5 hours. He recommends releasing the lava slowly to avoid an eruption but he asks about the glue and Cody says that explanation will have to wait. Once Burns briefs everyone, he asks if the Rescue Bots are willing to help, and, of course, they are.

[[Image:UnderPressure Blades escapes volcano.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Gazuntite!!"]]
Boulder and Graham reach the volcano's crater and work together to locate the controls. Elsewhere, Chase and Chief Burns clear nearby campers. Heatwave and Kade wait impatiently for something to happen, while Dani and Blades move into position over the volcano. After Boulder and Graham leave the crater, Blades uses his winch to operate the main switch, opening the volcano and releasing lava, glue and ash. However, he's then caught in the ash cloud, and Dani has to cajole him into flying high enough to get out of it. As lava and glue begins flowing, Heatwave and Kade hit it with streams of water, and find a pipe that hides a bottle and happens to be the source of the glue flow and a pill labeled glue toxin and Kade gets a idea to plug the source with the bottle with the pill. It looks like the crisis is over, and Cody announces he'll be waiting for everyone in the bunker. It turns out they declared mission accomplished too soon, however, as Dani spots the lava and glue draining into one of the tunnels leading to the bunker, Graham originates as a old source sealed off automatically 25 years ago.

Back at the bunker, Cody works on fixing the pinball machine, unaware of the incoming lava and glue.

Boulder makes a map of the tunnels with his seismic sensors, locating a shortcut for Heatwave and Kade to take to cut off the lava and glue. Dani spots a water and glue toxin tower, and Blades valiantly takes off to brave the ash and reach the tower. Heatwave and Kade are brought up short by a cave-in, but after a few moments of Kade trying to clear the rocks by hand, Heatwave simply smashes through in vehicle mode. They reach the intersection in time and start spraying the lava and glue with water, but with little effect. As they run out of water, Dani and Blades dump the water and glue toxin tank, and its contents spill along the tunnel, cooling the lava and glue. Kade and Heatwave return to the bunker, where Kade hugs his little brother.

The next day, Cody drags his siblings down to the bunker, where a huge Autobot [[insignia]] has been added to the wall.

'''A scientist tries to replace the team with a new invention, leaving everyone out of the action.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:OtherDoctor roller vs gnomes.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
[[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] is having a nap in [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] when they spot [[Rubio|Mr Rubio]] speeding, but despite Chase wanting to stop him, Burns says they'll be lenient. Moments later they spot an out-of-control road roller. The roller reaches the [[Luskey|mayor]]'s house and starts demolishing his lawn. The [[Rescue Bot]]s catch up, but as they block the roller's path, it's knocked aside by a strange vehicle which transforms into a robot. It disposes of the roller by making a hole for the thing to roll into and then drowning it in water. While everyone is confused at what this newcomer is, the mayor is impressed. Answers come as [[Thaddeus Morocco|Doctor Morocco]] descends from an airship overhead. Morocco claims his [[MorBot]] can do the work of the whole Rescue Bot team, and proposes a contest to prove its worth. The mayor invites both Chief Burns and Morocco to the next council meeting.

[[Cody Burns|Cody]] and Chief Burns visit [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] and [[Doc Greene]] at the bed-and-breakfast, and warn them of Dr. Morocco's return. Greene, retired from his job as chief scientist, has taken up bird house construction.

[[Image:OtherDoctor Burns and Morocco at council.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
At the council meeting, Morocco makes the case for his MorBot, claiming that it would keep people safe without endangering any humans. When Morocco threatens to go find another town, Mayor Luskey decides on doing a trial of the MorBot, after which Burns's team will step aside if it's successful.

The team is disgruntled. [[Boulder]] has already started packing, but Burns points out that the MorBot is just an unthinking machine, and everyone perks up. An explosion at the dock, caused by a grenade with a familiar "M" logo, soon has the Burns team swinging into action. They reach the dock and start fighting the fire, but Cody spots that the crates are Jewguiti explosives. While the humans fall back, the bots continue their work, until the MorBot turns up and causes a wave which washes over the dock. The fire is out, but as everyone observes, the dock is a disaster zone. The operation has been observed by [[Huxley Prescott]], who excitedly reports on the MorBot's first victory.

[[Image:OtherDoctor Rescue Bots washed away.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Probably a similar scene to when Cody borrowed the doc's fusion-powered water gun.]]
The Rescue Bots are even more dispirited, and Cody attempts to cheer them up by telling them the story of [[John Henry]], conveniently leaving out the ending. The Rescue Bots promise to work harder.

As a young boy plays with a toy rocket in the park, Morocco places a small canister of [[nanite]]s in it. The rocket is soon rampaging through town, and despite their best efforts, the Rescue Bots are unable to catch it, as it's being radio controlled by Morocco himself. The MorBot has no such trouble, though it totals several parked cars in the process. Prescott reports it as a victory for the MorBot, though Frankie is moved to complain about his bias.

[[Image:OtherDoctor Mayor Luskey and Morocco.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"And this, children, is what we call a 'stereotype'."]]
Cody discovers that Morocco had possession of the rocket and contacts Burns, who's busy with cleanup, and then Frankie. As he's talking to Frankie, Doc Greene's [[solar car]] loses control, thanks to a canister of nanites. The Rescue Bots head to help and, despite Morocco radio controlling the car, manage to bring it to a stop so the Greenes can get out. Though [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] covers the solar panel with a tarp and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] rips out the battery, the car springs back into life. The Rescue Bots, joined by Prescott, follow it to the town hall, where it's narrowly prevented from squashing the mayor by the MorBot. Morocco turns up to take the credit, and Luskey announces that Morocco is the new lead scientist. Frankie swears to get to the bottom of this, but the mayor stands the Rescue Bots down.

Back at the fire station, Heatwave is furious at losing, while Boulder finishes reading John Henry's story. Heatwave thinks they need to be reassigned. Cody, however, gets a call from Frankie, who reports that her dad has found a canister of nanites in the remains of the solar car.

'''An intruder uses a robot ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' to plant a virus in Griffin Rock's central computer, causing havoc.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:ReturnDinoBot Frankie sits on Trex.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"Me Grimlock like slides!"]]
One exceedingly foggy day, the [[Rescue Bot]]s marvel at this new weather, and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] is particularly happy because it means he'll be grounded and can [[Most Dangerous Chefs|watch TV]]. [[Bufkin|Mr Bufkin]] calls the emergency line to report a [[dinosaur]] near the lab, and when [[Cody Burns|Cody]] checks out the location on the [[ComTab]], he spots [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] being menaced by the robotic ''tyrannosaurus rex'' from the [[Griffin Rock Natural History Museum|museum]]. The Rescue Bots transform, and Cody rides with [[Dani Burns|Dani]] in Blades. They quickly reach the lab and surround the dinobot, only to find its off switch is missing. Frankie and [[Doc Greene]] put their fears at rest though—the dinosaur has been reprogrammed to be controlled by Doc Greene's gauntlet, and can now do the [[Macarena]].

Redubbed [[Trex]], the dinosaur has been pressed into service fetching coffee (Chinese tea, milk, no sugar, chocolate chip cookie dough, and cream) guarding the lab. Doc Greene explains that the lab has been broken into recently and left behind items such as the [[nanite]]s. Cody recognizes the logo on the nanites from the [[shark submarine]] wreckage. Greene believes the intruder is trying to hack into the town's central computer. The Burns family leaves to investigate a report from the mayor.

[[Image:ReturnDinoBot shadowy figure and Trex.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"There, there, big guy. I'm sure [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] will be in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|next]] [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|game]]."]]
While Trex stomps around in the fog, a [[Thaddeus Morocco|shadowy figure]] uses Greene's stolen gauntlet to access his systems. When Frankie calls Trex in, she find the discarded gauntlet and when Greene plugs Trex into the computer, it detects an incursion through the firewall.

Cody and the bots get lost in the fog, but are soon reunited with the rest of the family. Their troubles aren't over as technology begins to malfunction. The hologram stoplight leaves its post, the park sprinklers go off, and a garbage truck begins dumping garbage on city hall. [[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]], now trapped inside, is drenched by the sprinkler system. As Cody is taking a call from Frankie who tells him the island's mainframe has been hacked, he's menaced by a [[robo-landscaper]]. [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Boulder]] make short work of the device, and the team splits up to take care of the many emergency calls they're getting.

[[Image:ReturnDinoBot antivirusing the computer.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"I ''knew'' we should have upgraded to Avira!"]]
At the lab, Greene starts running an anti-virus program from his PDA, only for them to realize that Trex is responsible for the virus. The dinosaur starts chasing them, and Greene's gauntlet is useless to control it.

While [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and [[Kade Burns|Kade]] work at rescuing the mayor for town hall, Chase helps prevent a texting driver from running into a truck. With Boulder's help, Heatwave extracts the mayor, who is furious to learn that Doc Greene is partly responsible. Dani and Cody spot a swarm of robo-landscapers moving through town.

Trex, stalking around the lab, knocks the PDA loose from the computer. Frankie temporarily leaves her hiding place to plug it back in, but manages to avoid being chomped by the dinosaur. As the virus removal resumes, Trex runs out of the lab.

[[Image:ReturnDinoBot Rescue Bots dogpile Trex.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"I love you, Daddy, but... please invent a new deodorant. Soon."]]
The Rescue Bots fight with the landscapers. They're outnumbered, but luckily the antivirus works in time to shut down the landscapers. With that threat gone, they face another one—Trex has arrived. Doc Greene and Frankie haul up. After Trex knocks over their truck, the Rescue Bots pile on and manage to subdue the robotic beast. Cody has an idea to control Trex via verbal commands, and Greene commands Trex to bring his coffee. It works, and Greene gets a lift back to his lab in Blades so he can remove the virus from Trex. The rest of the team arrives to be told by Greene that it's too late! While they're gasping in horror, he clarifies that it's too late for them to watch the devirus process, and Trex is fine.

The next day, the team is contemplating the mess the town is in, when Doc Greene delivers devastating news—the mayor has relieved him of his post as lead scientist of [[Griffin Rock]]. Nearby, a shadowy figure scurries away, dropping a card with a familiar logo on it.

'''A shark targeting high-tech ocean equipment is spotted off the Griffin Rock shore.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:DeepTrouble time for fishing.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
[[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] and [[Luskey's wife|his wife]] are enjoying a trip in the Mayor's boat, the ''[[Floating Xanadu]]'', when Luskey realizes they're near the coast but he can't see the lighthouse. Elsewhere, the Burnses and the Greenes are having a barbeque and basketball game. Luskey contacts [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] to tell him to turn on the light. While [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] rescue the mayor, Doc Greene puzzles over why the automatic sensors didn't pick up the mayor's ship and turn the lighthouse on. Safely back on land, Luskey has it out with Greene, and explains that as tomorrow is the [[Miss Griffin Rock]] competition, he wants the lighthouse back in working order.

The next morning, Chief Burns arrives at the breakfast table with a fishing rod—it's time for their annual fishing trip. Dani, [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] all give excuses, but [[Cody Burns|Cody]] is keen and suggests they bring the [[Rescue Bot]]s along as well. The ''[[Darby Eva]]'' vessel proves capable of carrying the four bots without sinking, and Burns makes Blades first mate. Cody instructs the Bots on the finer points of fishing, as they approach Doc Greene's floating research lab, where Greene has discovered that the lighthouse's underwater electro-magnetic sensors have been destroyed. He gives Cody a hi-tech fishing line that uses electro-magnetic bait.

Back at the fire station, the others do dishes and briefly wonder if they did the right thing in dipping out on the fishing trip.

[[Image:DeepTrouble Heatwave jumps shark.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Cody, Charlie and the Bots start fishing, but after [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] loses his fishing rod, he tries using Greene's hi-tech version. He quickly gets a bite, which to their surprise turns out to be a [[Shark submarine|gigantic shark]]. It rams the ship, knocking Heatwave overboard, and as he floats in the water, the mechanical shark attacks him. As he wrestles with it, it uses lasers to destroy the fishing rod. The other Rescue Bots jump into the water, but can't do much more than watch as the shark knocks Heatwave loose by bashing him against rocks. Burns heads back to Doc Greene's lab.

[[Image:DeepTrouble Greene's busted sensor.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
On the beach, the Miss Griffin Rock pageant is in full swing, but as the mayor's wife is about to announce the finalists, the robot shark appears offshore, sparking a panic. Surprised, Greene reports his sensors aren't picking up anything shark-sized, but soon gets a visit from the shark himself. The shark destroys the doc's underwater sensor, and he shows the Burnses the footage of the shark he's gathered. Cody and Greene realize the shark's attacking electro-magnetics.

The other three Burnses at the fire station reminisce about previous fishing trips, and decide to join the one currently in progress.

[[Image:DeepTrouble caught shark.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
While Cody monitors things from the pier with the [[ComTab]], Chief Burns and the bots go out with one of the doc's boosted sensors. Once the shark turns up, Burns starts leading it towards a secluded cove, but it suddenly changes course and goes after the Griffin Rock ferry instead. Burns warns the ferry captain [[Arthur Shaw]] and the ferry avoids the first strike, so Burns and Blades head over to help the people on board. Heatwave, [[Boulder]] and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] jump into the sea and use their vehicle modes to reach the shark submarine. After damaging the sub to the point where it's non-operational, they float to the surface where Cody gets them to swim to shore with it. The rest of the Burns family reaches the pier in time to see the shark, but as Chief Burns and Blades crack it open, they hear a computer voice announcing self destruct. Blades flies the sub out to sea where it explodes. As they leave the pier, Cody wonders who could have built such a thing and among the wreckage which landed on the pier, spots a fragment with a [[Cody on Patrol|familiar logo on it]].

'''Cody, his family and the Rescue Bots have to stop a snow storm in July when a weather machine goes haywire.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:ChristmasInJuly the Mayor is on fire.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Not the hair! Not the hair!"]]
[[Huxley Prescott]] reports on the heatwave currently gripping [[Griffin Rock]], which [[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] demonstrates by breaking an egg on the sidewalk so it can fry. Nearby [[Cody Burns|Cody]] and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] sell lemonade. [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] disapproves of their illegal commercial venture, but [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] is more concerned at Chase's lack of air conditioning. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and [[Kade Burns|Kade]] provide water for the kids to cool off. Surprisingly, it turns out to be not only hot enough to fry eggs, but to set them on fire, and soon the Mayor's chef hat has caught alight too. Luckily Heatwave and Kade put him out.

Cody arrives back at the fire station in search of more ice and finds [[Boulder]] looking up information on seasons. Boulder's confused by the concept and wants Winter now so he can see some snow. Cody has trouble explaining the concept to him, but it gives him an idea. He visits [[Doc Greene]], who knows of an old [[weather machine]], predating Greene's arrival on Griffin Rock. They venture into the "Best Left Forgotten" room and find the weather machine in perfect condition, though Frankie doesn't think much of Cody's idea of using it to create a snowfall.

[[Image:ChristmasInJuly Blade snowbot.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The fact that he's a giant alien robot makes this all the more adorable.]]
They start setting the weather machine up in the town square, while Frankie, preferring the summer, heads down to the river. Cody is annoyed when the Mayor takes the credit for his idea, but Doc Greene lets him start up the machine. The square is soon blanketed in snow and the [[human]]s start playing. Boulder is disappointed that the [[Rescue Bot]]s don't get to enjoy the snow as well, since they have to keep up the pretense of being ordinary robots, but their human partners lead them to a back alley where Cody had Doc Greene test the machine earlier. While [[Graham Burns|Graham]] keeps watch, the Rescue Bots get to have their play in the snow, though Boulder turns out to be a terrible aim with a snowball which amuses Heatwave greatly. One of Boulder's snowballs strikes a tree in the square, knocking down a branch that breaks the weather machine, sending it out of control.

[[Image:ChristmasInJuly Heatwave helps a driver.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
With Winter temperatures all over Griffin Rock, Doc Greene quickly discovers that the machine's control panel is broken and has to take it back to his lab. With the roads snowed in, the residents take shelter in city hall and Cody joins them to coordinate the rescue effort. The team splits up and starts lending help where necessary. Cody checks with Frankie, who's enjoying the frozen-over river. As Blades and [[Dani Burns|Dani]] help free cars from a frozen bridge, Heatwave prevents an out-of-control car from ploughing into them. Meanwhile, Boulder and Graham help Doc Greene reach his lab and clear the snowdrift in front of it so he can get in.

[[Image:ChristmasInJuly Frankie in danger.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Back at city hall, a new problem rears its head—the roof is in danger of caving in under the weight of all the snow. The Mayor attempts to get out, only to find that the door is blocked with a snowdrift, and Cody calls an emergency. Boulder arrives first and clears the door, letting everyone out. They next use Cody's idea to save the building—Boulder props up the roof while Dani flies Blades upside-down to clear the snow. With the building safe for now, Cody checks with Doc Greene, who completes repairs on the weather machine and uses it to reverse the weather. Summer returns to Griffin Rock.

Cody contacts Frankie, only to find that the ice on the lake has broken up, and Frankie is now trapped on a piece which is heading downriver towards a waterfall. Blades is still too frozen to fly, but the rest of the team head to the river. Boulder uses a snowball to knock a tree branch down, which Frankie grabs onto. With everything safe again, Cody looks around for Chase, but the Rescue Bot is some distance away, laughing and making snow angels.

Back in the fire station, Boulder finally understands seasons, and Cody reveals some snowballs he kept in the freezer, which he and Boulder use to pelt Heatwave, who was doing his daily combat exercises.

'''The Bots are enlisted to watch after Doc Greene's Robo-Baby.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:FourBotsBaby Robo-Baby introduction.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Transmetal]] Tamagotchi]]
The [[Rescue Bot]]s are in the middle of repairing a bridge outside town, when an impatient motorist attempts to jump his motorcycle across the gap. [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] attempt to rescue him, but Kade falls loose from Heatwave's ladder. The two [[human]]s head for a nearby waterfall, and all seems lost until Heatwave throws his fire hose, and Kade grabs it, saving them both.

Sometime later, [[Doc Greene]] shows video of the incident to [[Cody Burns]] in way of explanation for the [[Turbo Cycle (RB)|Turbo Cycle]] he's built. Cody offers to be a test driver, but the doc already has someone for that. Cody believes himself to be more responsible than Kade, but Greene reminds him of the incident with the fusion-powered water gun. [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] has an idea, and believes Cody can prove he's mature by taking care of one of the doctor's other inventions—the [[Robo-Baby]], designed to record how babies see the world. Cody is unsure, and even less so when it turns out the Robo-Baby is even capable of soiling itself.

[[Image:FourBotsBaby Boulder heats milk.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Cody takes the Robo-Baby back to the fire station, where he ropes the Rescue Bots into helping him look after the tyke. Heatwave regards it as a [[spark]]less machine, while the other Bots are enamored by it. [[Boulder]] attempts to warm some milk for the baby with a blowtorch, which results in a mess. While they clean the mess up, [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] finds a baby bottle which quiets the Robo-Baby down, though it spews on [[Blades (RB)|Blades]]. After it starts crying, Chase finds a [[Rubber Ducky]]. The baby doesn't like the toy, and throws it into the air. The Rubber Ducky lands in a nearby sink and is sucked down a drain, eventually entering the sewer system where it clogs a pipe. The sewer soon bursts.

[[Image:FourBotsBaby soiled duck.jpg|thumb|left|250px|So... [[Rubber Ducky|you]] were behind this...]]
Still trying to calm the Robo-Baby, Chase attempts to sing a lullaby, but his loud, flat singing doesn't help. Cody refuses to consult his siblings, but then they discover that Blades's rotors work like a mobile and the baby is soon snoozing. Unfortunately there's an emergency alarm-the broken sewer has caused a sinkhole to appear in front of the bank. While the Rescue Bots roll out, Cody takes the baby to the control room so he can monitor the rescue and the baby at the same time. Once at the bank, [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and Blades rescue a stranded bank customer, Heatwave and Chase set about propping the building up, and Boulder and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] venture into the hole to check out the bursted pipe. As they need to shut down the water, Cody switches the power from the hydro-electric plant to the wind farm. The sight of the wind farm turbines wakes the Robo-Baby, but the bank is saved, and Graham fishes the Rubber Ducky from the pipe. Cody looks around, and discovers that the Robo-Baby is gone.

[[Image:FourBotsBaby Blades tries to rescue Robo-Baby.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
The Rescue Bots return to the fire station to find Cody searching for the baby. Frankie gives Cody a call from the ferry to check how he's doing, and tells him that the Rob-Baby's worth three million dollars. The now-desperate search comes up blank, but Cody spots the wind farm rotors on the monitor, and they head there under the assumption that's where the Robo-Baby is. Heatwave uses his olfactory [[sensors]] to detect the baby, and they find it heading up one of the windmills on a platform. With Blades unable to move close enough to pick the baby up, Chase uses his singing to keep it away from the edge while Boulder scales the windmill. Unfortunately the baby falls before Boulder reaches it, and Heatwave has to grab it out of mid-air.

Doc Greene is fascinated by the readings the Robo-Baby has recorded. Impressed, Greene announces Cody can test the Turbo Cycle. Kade gets to look after the Robo-Baby for the next week.

'''Cody accidentally unleashes a swarm of futuristic nanites while he's trying to super-charge his go-kart to help in the team's rescue missions.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:CodyOnPatrol fishing for Harrison.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Look, Ma, I caught a big one!"]]
[[Cody Burns]] is having breakfast of strawberry and kiwi cereal when he spots [[Harrison (RB)|Mr Harrison]] having trouble with his heli-pack again. [[Dani Burns|Dani]] requests the help of the rest of the team, and they set about trying to rescue Harrison. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] fails to wash Harrison out of the air, Boulder misses catching him in his scoop, Chase narrowly misses catching him, but then a mysterious masked rider in a go-kart drives past in pursuit. The newcomer uses a fishing line to hook Harrison, who takes a plunge into the sea. As Harrison clambers out of the sea, the stranger unmasks himself as Cody to the surprise of the rest of his family. The go-kart, it turns out, is one [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] built when he was Cody's age.

Back at the fire station, the [[Rescue Bot]]s inspect Cody's go-kart as he works on it. Later, while [[Boulder]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] deal with junk at the junkyard by feeding it to the [[Scrapmaster]], Cody hunts through the trash for useful parts for his go-kart, and comes up with a seat and steering wheel.

[[Image:CodyOnPatrol Boulder stops dogs.jpg|thumb|right|250px|]]
Finally, the changes are finished, and Cody unveils [[Rolling Thunder]]. The others are impressed, and when Chief Burns gets a call from [[Neederlander|Mrs Neederlander]], he sends Cody along in his go-kart to help. Unfortunately Rolling Thunder is very slow, and by the time Cody gets there, Mrs Neederlander has rescued [[Mister Pettypaws|her cat]] herself. Cody reports back to his dad, but there are no more assignments for him. Discouraged, he spots [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] walking her dogs [[Edison]] and [[Aristotle]], but when he tries to talk to her, his backfiring engine startles her dogs which run off. Cody tries to chase them, but is again too slow, and Boulder steps in to stop the dogs running into traffic. Cody is upset that Frankie referred to Rolling Thunder as a toy car, and though Boulder tries some words of encouragement, Cody decides what he really needs is a bigger engine.

[[Image:CodyOnPatrol powering up.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Sure, let's use one of my dad's experimental super-fuels in your go-kart. What could possibly go wrong?"]]
Unfortunately Chief Burns turns down Cody's request to use his credit card to buy a larger engine and tells him someday he'll be able to drive something more powerful. Undaunted, Cody visits [[Doc Greene]]'s lab where Frankie shows him the cupboard full of super fuel additives. Cody selects some [[nanite]] fuel and dumps the contents of the container into Rolling Thunder's fuel tank. Moments later he's roaring off, fire belching from the exhaust valve, and Frankie's alerting the emergency services. When Cody discovers Rolling Thunder's brakes don't work, he rings his father who suggests he heads for the junkyard and uses the piles of garbage to slow down.

[[Image:CodyOnPatrol Boulder steps on car.jpg|thumb|right|250px|This is [[Griffin Rock]]; if the owner doesn't have giant robot insurance, he's a fool!]]
Cody successfully stops his ride, but the nanites emerge from the gas tank and enter the Scrapmaster. The trash device immediately goes out of control and starts eating random objects before starting to chase Cody. Just as he's cornered by the Scrapmaster, [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] and Dani arrive in time to distract it by throwing a car at it. The others soon arrive and Cody tells them about the nanites. Heatwave's attempt to stop the Scrapmaster by throwing a gas tank at it fails. Boulder comes up with another idea, and while the others distract the Scrapmaster, he pulls the device's tank off. That's when the nanites leave the gas tank and enter Boulder's gas pipe. Out of control, Boulder rampages down the road, but manages to avoid doing much damage, though he crushes a parked car and as he enters the park, starts knocking down trees, much to his distress. Cody has an idea to take the nanites to the [[Griffin Rock power plant|power plant]] and lure them into the generators. Boulder manages to get to the power plant, and though things look hairy for a minute or so, the generators prove too much power for the nanites, which are overwhelmed.

Cody helps Boulder replant the trees in the park, while Chief Burns does laps around the park in Rolling Thunder. In Doc Greene's lab, Frankie finds the nanites are mysteriously not listed on the lab's inventory.

'''Boulder decides that the team needs an animal mascot but maybe a zoo isn't the best place to find one.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:WalkOnTheWildSide Rescue Bots clean station.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Where ''do'' they get Bot-sized brooms, anyway?]]
The Burns family watch [[television]] as [[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] unveils the [[Mayor Luskey Library]], a building made of wholly recycled materials. They're interrupted by a call from [[Neederlander|Mrs. Neederlander]] alerting them to a dire emergency. The [[Rescue Bot]]s roll out with all haste and haul up to her house, only to find the emergency is that [[Mister Pettypaws]] is up a tree again and so is she. As she complains about their tardiness, the branch she's on gives way, and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] has to make a quick and unappreciated save. [[Boulder]] retrieves her cat from the tree.

Back at the fire station, [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] announces that they're celebrating [[Earth Day]] by cleaning up the building. Heatwave grouses about the waste of time their last rescue was, and [[Cody Burns|Cody]] explains about pets. He calls up pictures of [[:Category:Dogs|dogs]] acting as assistants to emergency personnel, and Boulder's interest is piqued. Moments later, [[Doc Greene]] and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] arrive to take Cody to the Earth Day exhibit at the [[Griffin Rock Zoo|zoo]].

Cody and Frankie arrive at the zoo, and Cody starts taking pictures to send to Boulder, though Frankie is impatient to see the lemurs. The lemurs are all trained to sort recyclable material into bins, and thus are part of the Earth Day exhibit.

[[Image:WalkOnTheWildSide a lion up a tree.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Cat up a tree? You might say that.]]
That night, [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] catches Boulder sneaking out. Boulder intends to adopt an animal from the zoo. Using his access to get in, Boulder decides on the zoo's cross-eyed lion, whom he dubs "[[Whiskers]]". While Blades turns the main power off, Boulder attempts to extract the lion from its cage, only for it to depart the zoo. As the two Rescue Bots give chase, the lemurs stage a breakout.

Blades and Boulder spot Whiskers going into an alley, but their attempt to corner the lion is interrupted by a garbage man. While they're distracted, the lion makes off, and they are forced to continue their search.

The next morning, the fire station gets another call from Mrs. Neederlander. This time, Chief Burns and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] turn up to find a lion in the tree. With Blades and Boulder mysteriously missing, the other Burnses cram into Heatwave so they can go help. Shortly after they arrive, so do the missing Rescue Bots, and Boulder fills them in on why Whiskers is loose. Whiskers again gives them the slip.

[[Image:WalkOnTheWildSide Frankie vs lion.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Go-Go-Greene forcefield!"]]
Cody soon runs into Whiskers while on his morning cycle to school. While he attempts to evade the lion, his phone is triggered and the nearby Frankie comes to his aid. The lion is unable to touch her, thanks to her [[force field|forcefield bracelet]], and runs off.

The lemurs, busy sorting [[Griffin Rock]]'s trash, sport the new library, but are scattered by the lion. The Rescue Bots also spot the lion, and make an attempt to capture him, but he again manages to evade them.

[[Image:WalkOnTheWildSide lemurs attack library.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Four of us, weaponless, against the whole blasted Lemur army! WHAT CHANCE DO WE HAVE?"]]
Chief Burns is dropping Cody and Frankie off at school when he gets a call from Mayor Luskey alerting him to the fact that the lemurs are destroying the library in their drive to recycle. Their meal extends to the books inside and the Mayor's toupee. As the front of the building starts to collapse, Chase arrives and knocks it before it can land on Luskey. Cody quickly works out that if they give the lemurs a treat, like they got at the zoo, they'll stop trying to recycle the building. Boulder fetches a scoopful of lemur treats, and once [[Graham Burns|Graham]] attracts their attention with a bell, the lemurs go after the food. Boulder starts reversing through town, with Heatwave and Chase clearing the way. [[Dani Burns|Dani]] soon spots the lion chasing after the lemurs, and Blades swoops in to catch him in a cage. The lemurs are soon returned to their enclosure, and the lion is in a new "Mayor Luskey Enclosure".

Back at the fire station, Cody presents Boulder with a potted cream plant as a pet.

'''Huxley Prescott causes panic when he reports that aliens have invaded Griffin Rock.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:AlienInvasion Chase catches tank.jpg|thumb|left|250px|“And it's saved, by the blue [[Rescue Bot|Bot]] with a badge on his head!”]]
[[Huxley Prescott]] interrupts programming to cover a daring rescue, as [[Boulder]] and [[Graham Burns]] try to prevent a truck of dangerous volcano chemicals from plunging from a cliff. As Boulder strains, the other [[Rescue Bot]]s arrive. Aware they're being recorded, they first rescue the driver, and then pull the truck to safety. Unfortunately the tank pulls loose and falls, but [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] executes a daring last-minute save. For a moment, the Burnses think their cover is blown, but Prescott is distracted by what he believes to be a crop circle, but is actually just a path cut for [[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] and [[Luskey's wife|his wife]] to have their picnic.

Later in the fire house, Chase believe he will be reprimanded, but [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] lets them all know that when lives are at stake, saving them takes priority over maintaining their cover.

[[Image:AlienInvasion Doc Greene and Prescott operate dish.jpg|thumb|right|250px|“I don't know why I'm giving you instructions, because you're just going to ignore me either way.”]]
[[Doc Greene]] unveils the [[SETI]] dish he's built for Prescott, so Prescott can continue to try and find the aliens he believes are hidden in [[Griffin Rock]]. Greene instructs Prescott on the proper use of the dish and stresses the danger of overload.

[[Cody Burns|Cody]] and the Rescue Bots sit down to watch a movie, and Cody selects ''[[The Natives of Tatui]]'', a movie about explorers living on an island. Audio from the film is intercepted by Prescott, who excitedly cranks the dish up to maximum, believing he has heard a transmission from aliens. He's soon making an emergency broadcast to announce his discovery to Griffin Rock. The Burns family assembles in time for the phone to ring, as Mr [[Bufkin]] believes aliens have abducted his cows.

[[Image:AlienInvasion Luskey stops Chase.jpg|thumb|left|250px|“[[Home Is Where the Spark Is|This time]], [[Angry Archer|I'm]] stopping [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|you]] in the road!”]]
Boulder and Graham are called to [[Perkins (RB)|Mr Perkins]]'s farm to check out reports of aliens in his poxfields, to instead find cows. [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] head to the town square where a UFO is supposedly taking off, to find [[Milo]] in a balloon going alien hunting. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and [[Kade Burns|Kade]] rescue [[Neederlander|Mrs Neederlander]]'s cat from a tree and assure her he wasn't abducted by aliens. At that point, the power goes out all over Griffin Rock and air raid sirens sound. Chief Burns is approached by the panicking Mayor. Burns contacts base and tells everyone to get to the [[Griffin Rock power plant|power plant]], but is cut off as communications black out. Prescott makes another news flash warning everyone to get off the island. Predictably mass panic sets in as the island's population tries to evacuate, and a ferry is endangered as it's overloaded, forcing Dani and Blades to tow it to safety.

[[Image:AlienInvasion Rescue Bots push dish.jpg|thumb|right|250px|“On three – agh, just push!!”]]
The team reaches the power station and venture inside to find Cody, who has come to help. The Rescue Bots, left outside, are on-edge. Graham finds Prescott's SETI dish is responsible for the power drain which will eventually cause a massive explosion. Unfortunately the power drain traps the humans in the power plant, so the Rescue Bots must go driverless to deal with the dish.

Doc Greene, having figured out what the problem is, arrives at the dish first but is unable to shut it down. [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] is surprised to see the Rescue Bots driving on their own, and as the bots deal with the dish, Prescott films them. The Burns family arrives to provide cover for the Rescue Bots, and Cody tells Prescott that the transmission he received was from ''The Natives of Tatui''. As they leave, Doc Greene points out that Prescott's been transmitting everything. Prescott manages to dig himself deeper by subsequently mistaking Mr Buffkin's cows for aliens.

==Quotes==
"Cody, this hurts inside." 
"The natives have spears and blowguns!" 
"Now you're talkin'!"
:—'''Heatwave''' and '''Cody'''

"Just to remind you, ''we're'' aliens."
:—'''Heatwave''' is tired of his team panicking.

"Robots without masters... could they be our aliens? Are they the ones who received that mysterious communication from space?"
:—You're only half-wrong, '''Huxley Prescott'''.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===

===Continuity errors===
*The time on Prescott's digital watch seems to be permanently stuck at 12:53.
*Judging from their level of boredom, it appears that Cody and the Bots watched the entire ''Natives of Tatui'' movie through from start to finish. However, when Prescott comes on the TV after this to report the 'findings' of his SETI dish, he says that he intercepted the alien transmission "just moments ago". Given that the part he recorded seemed to come from the movie's opening, it must have been one really short film.

===Continuity notes===
*The parade footage Prescott interrupts is from last episode's [[Lobster and Technology Festival]]. Milo's balloon is one of the parade balloons from the festival, though it's unclear whether it's still filled with [[floatium]].

===Real-world references===
*Crop circles are a real-world phenomenon caused by either aliens or hoaxers, depending on who you ask.
*Both the Rescue Bots and the residents of Griffin Rock appear to be movie buffs, as several real-life movies are referenced in this episode:
**Huxley's line "Be afraid, be very afraid" is the tagline for the 1986 movie ''[[Fly|The Fly]]''.
**The aliens in Mr Perkins' cornfield are likely a reference to ''Signs''.
**Mrs. Prewett fears her husband Edgar is a giant cockroach, a rather specific reference to the villain of ''Men in Black''.
**Chief Burns's encounter with the Mayor after the lights go out is from the 1978 version of ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers''.
**The cute alien who wants to call home is a reference to ''E.T''.
**The face-hugging aliens are, of course, from ''Alien''.
**The amorphous alien who eats cars may be a reference to ''The Blob''.
**The invisible alien that cannot see you if you are covered in mud is a reference to the movie ''[[Predator (alien)|Predator]]''.
*The episode's entire premise seems to reference the public reaction to the [[Wikipedia:The War of the Worlds (radio drama)|1938 radio adaptation]] of H.G. Wells' ''[[The War of the Worlds]]'' (directed and narrated by [[Orson Welles]]), in which many people mistook the radio drama as an actual news broadcast and created mass panic.

'''Chase, Blades and Boulder must battle a swarm of flying lobsters.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Doc Greene takes flight.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"I'm my own worst enemyyyy!"]]
[[Cody Burns]] and [[Frankie Greene]] are attending the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]]. While Cody prefers the lobster dinner, Frankie is looking forward to the technology parade, in which she'll get to ride on her dad's float. Discussing which is better, they find [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] and [[Doc Greene]] inflating a helium lobster balloon. Frankie scoffs at the fact that the [[Rescue Bot]]s are taking part on the parade too, but at that moment a strong gust of wind causes the balloon's cable tubes to snap. One catches Doc Greene's leg, and as the balloon drifts away, he's taken with it. The others give chase, collecting [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] along the way, but even the [[Autobot]] is unable to save Doc Greene from being whisked away.

Back at the fire station, the other Rescue Bots and the rest of the Burns family get the alert and roll out. Doc Greene manages to catch on to a building and, following Chief Burns's suggestion, unties the rope from his ankle, freeing himself from the balloon. While [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] rescue the Doc from the building, [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] and [[Dani Burns|Dani]] hook the balloon and bring it back down to earth. As the Doc thanks Kade, Heatwave makes a throat-clearing noise, and Chief Burns asks Cody to remind the bots that they're supposed to be pretending to be robots.

[[Image:FlobstersOnParade robots on parade.jpg|thumb|right|250px|They see us rollin', they hatin'.]]
As Cody instructs the Rescue Bots again, he notices Heatwave is missing. [[Boulder]] is also distracted by a robin out the window, so Cody holds an impromptu game of "Simon Says" to help them get acting like robots. Heatwave picks that moment to appear, announcing he's not going to be in the parade because he hates acting like a robot and being climbed all over by kids. Thus when the rest of the Burns family arrives to leave for the parade, Heatwave fakes an engine problem. Kade's just happy not to have to deal with Heatwave, so the others head out without him. They arrive at the parade, where Doc Greene is filling balloons with his latest invention, [[floatium]], which is a more controllable version of helium. The parade soon starts, with the Rescue Bots marching along behind the floats, though Boulder has to be shushed by Chase. Back at base, Heatwave watches the parade on TV while doing combat practices and is irritated by the [[Huxley Prescott|reporter's]] comments about his paint choice and the fact that people don't miss him.

[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Doc Greene and Chief check tank.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Actually, Doc, the spray-on pants sound like a much better idea."]]
Back at the fairgrounds, a hungry fair-goer accidentally knocks the tank of floatium into the lobster tank and the lobsters inside immediately begin floating out of the tank. After the Rescue Bots return to the square, Cody points out the [[flobster]]s now filling the sky. While the Bots continue to pretend to be robots, despite a flobster having a close encounter with Blades's face, the humans investigate. Doc Greene quickly calculates it will take two days for the effects of the floatium to wear off, and heads back to the lab to work on a solution. Unfortunately the flobsters quickly turn hostile to the humans present. Coby formulates a plan, and Dani and Blades scoop up a bunch of the flobsters in a cage, before dropping the whole cage back into the lobster tank.

[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Chase holds up lobster.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Alright, everybody; Y-M-C-A!"]]
Cody takes control of the [[ComTab]], and the Rescue Bots and their partners are soon responding to flobster-related emergency calls all over [[Griffin Rock]]. Boulder and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] help [[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] after a flobster severs a nearby power cable tubess. Kade calls the station and attempts to be polite in talking to Heatwave. More flobsters trap Frankie in a phone booth, attracted to the starfish on the back of her jacket. She calls Cody for help, but luckily Heatwave is nearby and gets rid of the flobsters with his hose. As the others celebrate Frankie's rescue, Dani calls them back to the town square, where Doc Greene shows off the destabilizing compound he's created to remove the floatium from the water and flobsters. They can spray the compound directly on the flobsters, but there's only one batch and the flobsters are everywhere. Cody has the idea of using the giant lobster balloons to scare the flobsters and herd them back to the town square where Heatwave can spray them, ending the flobster menace.

The people of Griffin Rock enjoy their lobster lunches, while Blades finally gets the flobster joke, and Heatwave has kids climb all over him.

==Quotes==
"Simon did not authorize that last movement."

"What ''do'' human children put on their fingers, anyway? Last time I let one climb on me, I was sticky for days."
:—'''Heatwave''' does not approve of kiddy antics.

"Ah, at least it's not livestock again."
:—'''Charlie Burns''' on seeing the flobsters.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===

===Continuity errors===
* The common form of helium isn't radioactive and thus ''does not have a half life''. Also, to make a helium balloon neutrally buoyant, all you need to do is add an appropriate amount of weight or use a appropriate helium/air mix rather than pure helium, there's no need to invent a new gas.
* One should probably also not ask how floatium gives lobsters the ability to cut through tree branches and power cables with their claws.

===Real-world references===
* Doc Greene's tenuous grip on the courthouse roof before being rescued bears a suspicious resemblance to the same in the movie ''Back to the Future''.

'''Dani gives Blades a new scoop claw to help on the front lines, but their sudden popularity threatens the team.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Hotshots Chase stops car.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Something like this was probably a sport back on Cybertron.]]
[[Doc Greene]] races through the streets of [[Griffin Rock]] in his out-of-control experimental [[solar car]], pursued by [[Charlie Burns]] and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]]. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] uses his ladder as a ramp so the Doc doesn't crash into some parked cars, and [[Boulder]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] attempt to stop the car with an improvised spike strip. Unfortunately the car has a tire replacement system so the spike strip is ineffective, and the car starts heading up [[Old Canyon Road]] towards a busted bridge. Chase finally manages to catch up and, [[transformation|transforming]], grabs the rear of the car and brings it to a halt, requiring some buffing. Doc Greene announces that apart from the control problems, the experiment was a success.

In the aftermath of the rescue, [[Kade Burns|Kade]], Graham and Dani are interviewed by reporter [[Huxley Prescott]], but Dani is annoyed that she didn't get to contribute during the operation. Elsewhere the [[Rescue Bot]]s are cleaning themselves, and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] feels equally underutilized. Heatwave grouses that all of them are under-appreciated for their work and the humans get all the credit.

[[Image:Hotshots Dani attaches claw.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Oh, come on, Pepper. This isn't the worst thing you've caught me doing."]]
Dani pays a visit to Doc Greene, who is working on a new newspaper dispenser to replace the one he accidentally ran over (the replacement is slightly out of control). She asks about a scoop claw for Blades, and the Doc turns out to have an old one, once used for logging, in storage. Dani is soon installing it on a less-than-enthusiastic Blades. The other Rescue Bots are unable to hide their amusement at the affect the claw has on his robot mode, but the discussion is cut short by the report of a rock slide. The Rescue Bots roll out and start smashing boulders, but when [[Cody Burns|Cody]] spots a huge boulder, the three ground-based bots prepare for the impact—only for Blades to grab it in his scoop claw.

[[Image:Hotshots Blades catches car.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Weight-lifting for Autobots.]]
Blades is noticeably preening when they return to base. During the next few rescues, Blades and Dani use the scoop claw to solve each problem, leaving the other Rescue Bots with nothing to do. Kade and Graham complain to Dani, and when Cody tries to intercede, he's told the problem doesn't concern him. He goes down to the bunker instead, where Heatwave is preparing to remove the scoop claw from Blades, and is told much the same thing by the Rescue Bots. Dani arrives to take Blades out on patrol, and Cody, though annoyed by the others' dismissal of him, opts to go along to see what he can do to mitigate the problem.

[[Image:Hotshots Blades Dani Cody in trouble.jpg|thumb|right|250px|I fell in to a burnin' ring of fire...]]
Cody and Blades talk to Dani, and she realizes she's been too hard on them. As a lightning storm moves in, Dani opts to go back to base, but too late, as Blades is hit by lightning. Dani sends a distress transmission as Blades makes an emergency landing at the bottom of a cliff. The trio prepare to wait for help, but more lightning starts a forest fire which threatens to broil the two humans sheltering in Blades like snickerdoodles. They use Blades's scoop claw to scale the cliff, though the chain gives out just as they reach the top and it turns out they're still trapped with the fire swiftly moving in. Blades attempt to fly them out is cut short by his damaged tail. Luckily the other three Rescue Bots arrive and Heatwave douses a way through the fire to Blades so they can carry the injured [[Autobot]] back down the hill.

In a subsequent interview, Dani gives some credit to Cody and the Rescue Bots. Blades, having spent some time in the [[stasis pod]], returns to announce they salvaged the scoop claw, but will use it less liberally from now on. Cody heads out to play basketball with his siblings.

'''A volcano threatens Griffin Rock, sending the Rescue Bots and Burns family into action.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:UnderPressure Boulder breaks pinball.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Big, green, sensitive, and clumsy. Sounds [[Bulkhead (Animated)|familiar]] enough...]]
While [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] pursue an out-of-control [[robo-landscaper]] through [[Griffin Rock]], [[Cody Burns]] reports that the rest of the team might be delayed, as his siblings are having trouble coming to terms with the fact that their rescue vehicles are [[Autobot|alien robots]]. Chase loses their suspect, only for Burns to realize the robo-landscaper is coming up behind them. Chase transforms, somersaults backward over it, and throws it into a dumpster while reading it its rights. That done, the rest of the team finally arrive, with the Burns family complaining that their Autobot teammates are too difficult to work with. [[Kade Burns|Kade]] is especially unimpressed when [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] transforms with him still inside. Cody promises to talk to his siblings.

Unfortunately, Kade, [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] aren't that interested in hearing about the Autobots' problems. Heatwave contacts [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], but Optimus is confident they'll learn to work with the humans. Cody tells the four bots he has a new plan to help them bond with their human partners. He lures his brothers and sister down to the bunker, but things don't go well; [[Boulder]] breaks the pinball machine, and Dani only wants to talk about flying with [[Blades (RB)|Blades]]. Their bonding session comes to an abrupt end when Burns contacts them with the news that the sewers and pipes on Main and Park are overflowing with lava and pressure glue. The team scrambles.

[[Image:UnderPressure Chase saves motorist.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"I shall call her Squishy, and she shall be my Squishy...]]
When one impatient woman drives right into the lava and glue, Chase has to save her from her rapidly melting car. Cody's siblings continue to have trouble working with their partners. Kade even brings his own fire truck, though he inadvertently parks it over a manhole, and after a burst of lava and glue causes it to explode, Heatwave saves him. Cody calls [[Doc Greene]], who is hanging upside-down. Greene reveals that the artificial [[Mount Magma]] is the likely source of the lava, and that the lava will cover the island in just under 5 hours. He recommends releasing the lava slowly to avoid an eruption, but Doc asks about the glue and Cody says he'll explain later. Once Burns briefs everyone, he asks if the Rescue Bots are willing to help, and, of course, they are.

[[Image:UnderPressure Blades escapes volcano.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Gazuntite!!"]]
Boulder and Graham reach the volcano's crater and work together to locate the controls. Elsewhere, Chase and Chief Burns clear nearby campers. Heatwave and Kade wait impatiently for something to happen, while Dani and Blades move into position over the volcano. After Boulder and Graham leave the crater, Blades uses his winch to operate the main switch, opening the volcano and releasing lava, prssure glue, and ash. However, he's then caught in the ash cloud, and Dani has to cajole him into flying high enough to get out of it. As lava and glue begins flowing, Heatwave and Kade hit it with streams of water (the lava, not the glue) and use a antidote (called glue toxin) Doc made to cool the glue. It looks like the crisis is over, and Cody announces he'll be waiting for everyone in the bunker. It turns out the declared mission accomplished too soon, however, as Dani spots the lava and pressure glue draining into one of the tunnels leading to the bunker.

Back at the bunker, Cody works on fixing the pinball machine, unaware of the incoming lava.

[[Image:UnderPressure Heatwave Kade fight lava.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"As long as a [[Transmetal 2|big, shiny]] [[Megatron (BW)|dragon]] doesn't [[Master Blaster|rise up]] out of this, I'm happy."]]
Boulder makes a map of the tunnels with his seismic sensors, locating a shortcut for Heatwave and Kade to take to cut off the lava and glue. Dani spots a water and glue toxin tower, and Blades valiantly takes off to brave the ash and reach the tower. Heatwave and Kade are brought up short by a cave-in, but after a few moments of Kade trying to clear the rocks by hand, Heatwave simply smashes through in vehicle mode. They reach the intersection in time and start spraying the lava with water (Heatwave) and the glue with glue toxin, but with little effect (except for the glue). As they run out of water, Dani and Blades dump the water and glue toxin tank, and its contents spill along the tunnel, cooling the lava and glue. Kade and Heatwave return to the bunker, where Kade hugs his little brother.

The next day, Cody drags his siblings down to the bunker, where a huge Autobot [[insignia]] has been added to the wall.

'''A volcano threatens Griffin Rock, sending the Rescue Bots and Burns family into action.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:UnderPressure Boulder breaks pinball.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Big, green, sensitive, and clumsy. Sounds [[Bulkhead (Animated)|familiar]] enough...]]
While [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] pursue an out-of-control [[robo-landscaper]] through [[Griffin Rock]], [[Cody Burns]] reports that the rest of the team might be delayed, as his siblings are having trouble coming to terms with the fact that their rescue vehicles are [[Autobot|alien robots]]. Chase loses their quarry, only for Burns to realize the robo-landscaper is coming up behind them. Chase transforms, somersaults backward over it, and throws it into a dumpster while reading it its rights. That done, the rest of the team finally arrive, with the Burns family complaining that their Autobot teammates are too difficult to work with. [[Kade Burns|Kade]] is especially unimpressed when [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] transforms with him still inside. Cody promises to talk to his siblings.

Unfortunately, Kade, [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] aren't that interested in hearing about the Autobots' problems. Heatwave contacts [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], but Optimus is confident they'll learn to work with the humans. Cody tells the four bots he has a new plan to help them bond with their human partners. He lures his brothers and sister down to the bunker, but things don't go well; [[Boulder]] breaks the pinball machine, and Dani only wants to talk about flying with [[Blades (RB)|Blades]]. Their bonding session comes to an abrupt end when Burns contacts them with the news that the sewers and pipes on Main and Park are overflowing with lava and pressure glue. The team scrambles.

[[Image:UnderPressure Chase saves motorist.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"I shall call her Squishy, and she shall be my Squishy...]]
When one impatient woman drives right into the lava and glue, Chase has to save her from her rapidly melting car. Cody's siblings continue to have trouble working with their partners. Kade even brings his own fire truck, though he inadvertently parks it over a manhole, and after a burst of lava and glue causes it to explode, Heatwave saves him. Cody calls [[Doc Greene]], who is hanging upside-down. Greene reveals that the artificial [[Mount Magma]] is the likely source of the lava, and that the lava will cover the island in just under 5 hours. He recommends releasing the lava slowly to avoid an eruption, but Doc asks about the glue and Cody says he'll explain later. Once Burns briefs everyone, he asks if the Rescue Bots are willing to help, and, of course, they are.

[[Image:UnderPressure Blades escapes volcano.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Gazuntite!!"]]
Boulder and Graham reach the volcano's crater and work together to locate the controls. Elsewhere, Chase and Chief Burns clear nearby campers. Heatwave and Kade wait impatiently for something to happen, while Dani and Blades move into position over the volcano. After Boulder and Graham leave the crater, Blades uses his winch to operate the main switch, opening the volcano and releasing lava, prssure glue, and ash. However, he's then caught in the ash cloud, and Dani has to cajole him into flying high enough to get out of it. As lava and glue begins flowing, Heatwave and Kade hit it with streams of water (the lava, not the glue) and use a antidote (called glue toxin) Doc made to cool the glue. It looks like the crisis is over, and Cody announces he'll be waiting for everyone in the bunker. It turns out the declared mission accomplished too soon, however, as Dani spots the lava and pressure glue draining into one of the tunnels leading to the bunker.

Back at the bunker, Cody works on fixing the pinball machine, unaware of the incoming lava.

[[Image:UnderPressure Heatwave Kade fight lava.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"As long as a [[Transmetal 2|big, shiny]] [[Megatron (BW)|dragon]] doesn't [[Master Blaster|rise up]] out of this, I'm happy."]]
Boulder makes a map of the tunnels with his seismic sensors, locating a shortcut for Heatwave and Kade to take to cut off the lava and glue. Dani spots a water and glue toxin tower, and Blades valiantly takes off to brave the ash and reach the tower. Heatwave and Kade are brought up short by a cave-in, but after a few moments of Kade trying to clear the rocks by hand, Heatwave simply smashes through in vehicle mode. They reach the intersection in time and start spraying the lava with water (Heatwave) and the glue with glue toxin, but with little effect (except for the glue). As they run out of water, Dani and Blades dump the water and glue toxin tank, and its contents spill along the tunnel, cooling the lava and glue. Kade and Heatwave return to the bunker, where Kade hugs his little brother.

The next day, Cody drags his siblings down to the bunker, where a huge Autobot [[insignia]] has been added to the wall.

'''A team of Rescue Bots is assigned by Optimus Prime to work with the Burns family on the island of Griffin Rock.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Cody and Chief Burns.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Come on, son, we know it was you. No-one else even likes [[JaAm]]."]]
Somewhere in space, a drifting Autobot spaceship receives a transmission from [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] directing them to [[Earth]]'s coordinates. The ship automatically changes course and eventually touches down in a military base. The four members of [[Rescue Force Sigma-17]] emerge and are greeted by Optimus himself, who informs them that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] is no longer the [[Autobot]]s' home.

On the island of [[Griffin Rock]], [[Cody Burns]] is biking to school when his [[Charlie Burns|dad]] pulls up alongside in the old police car, which is soon to be replaced with a new car as part of the town's function as a hi-tech testing ground. Cody wants to test drive the new vehicles, but the rest of his family points out they're for grown-ups.

Optimus tells the new arrivals that he has a new mission for them: to live with a [[human]] family and learn more about Earth, but they must do so disguised as normal machines. He gives them rescue vehicles to [[scanning|scan]], though [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] is unenthusiastic when he discovers the [[alternate mode]] he's ended up with flies. Optimus introduces them to Chief Charlie Burns, the only human who knows the [[Rescue Bot]]s' true nature.

[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Chief Burns introduces Rescue Bots.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"And [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]] thought [[Human|they]] wouldn't be comfortable with us [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|why]]?]]
That afternoon, Cody arrives at the dedication, where he meets [[Frankie Greene]] and her father, [[Doc Greene]], in the audience, though Frankie's more interested in the new exhibit of robot dinosaurs at the [[Griffin Rock Natural History Museum|museum]]. Chief Burns introduces the gathered crowd to the Rescue Bots, describing them as new hi-tech robots which will work with him and his family as a rescue response unit. When a butterfly lands on [[Boulder]]'s face, the Autobot instinctively goes to shoo it away, but is stopped by [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]. However, Cody's suspicions are already raised. When Cody jumps up and knocks on Boulder's foot, he's told to get lost by [[Huxley Prescott|a reporter]]. The press photos are interrupted when word comes in of a fire at the Natural History Museum.

[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Heatwave catches head.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] wasn't happy about being left out of [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|the new game]].]]
Burns and his rescue squad head to the museum, although [[Dani Burns|Dani]] discovers her helicopter doesn't seem to like flying too high. [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] begins clearing the humans from the area, though is confused when a couple of Egyptian mummies fail to comply. [[Graham Burns|Graham]] is bemused when he tells Boulder to move some planters and the Autobot responds that it would ruin the aesthetics. They manage to get the fire out, and Graham locates the cause: a short in one of the robotic dinosaurs' cable tubes. While he's fixing it, Cody sneaks into the museum, having followed the team on his bike. He's therefore present to witness Heatwave saving Chief Burns and Graham from a falling dinosaur head. Burns explains it as Heatwave having been left in rescue mode, and [[Kade Burns|Kade]] is glad to take the credit. As they leave the museum, the eyes on a short-circuiting [[Trex|animatronic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'']] light up ominously!

That night, back in the fire station, the Rescue Bots take a lift down to a [[Cold War (history)|Cold War]] bunker underneath the station. Upstairs, Cody excuses himself from a dinner of carrots, salad, turkey, potatoes, sauteed chicken, and with his family and heads downstairs, where he catches the Rescue Bots complaining about their new gig. Heatwave has just decided they're going to leave when Cody speaks up. The Rescue Bots realize their cover is blown, but after introductions are made, Cody shows them that there are many tunnels leading around the island from the bunker. They check out a giant robot movie at a drive in, and Cody attempts to teach the Rescue Bots how to act like "real" robots as well as give them tips on dealing with his siblings. Lessons are brought to a halt when they spot the robotic ''T. rex'' from the museum, now rampaging along the street. As it moves into the drive-in, Cody gets Chase to start his lights, and they establish the thing is attracted to light. They begin leading the creature to a safe area while Cody contacts his dad.

[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes T-rex chases Chase.jpg|thumb|right|250px|At least, unlike [[Blast from the Past|last time]], [[Grimlock (Animated)|it]] can't breathe fire]]
Burns takes the rest of his family in the old squad car, and they soon catch up with the Rescue Bots as the chase moves outside town. While they try to work out how to deal with the rogue dinosaur, Cody calls Frankie. Soon Boulder is extracting a jail cell from the police station, which Dani and Blades fly to the scene. Meanwhile, Chase keeps the ''T. rex'' occupied, and Kade and Heatwave wet some ground to make mud. Kade is shocked when Heatwave transforms, attracts the dinosaur's attention, and then throws it into the mud. Dani lowers the makeshift cage over it, allowing Cody to shut the dinosaur down.

The next day, they return the dinosaur to the museum, and Burns decides to get a picture of "his heroes" outside. After Heatwave tells Kade that Cody's part of the team or the Rescue Bots leave, Chief Burns reveals that they're not just robots, they're aliens.

==Quotes==
"We need to remove the planters to create a fire block." 
"But... I... That will destroy the harmonious nature of the plaza's design." 
"What?!"
:—'''Graham Burns''' and '''Boulder''', who fails at being a robot.

"I don't know ''where'' you learned that... but no."

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*As the Burns family watch the Rescue Bots and dinosaur speed past, the holographic traffic lights on the intersection aren't working, though they were a shot earlier.
*When Chase is polishing his chest and shoulder during Heatwave's rant, the yellow parts of his eyes appear a greyish-green. They become yellow when Cody first appears, but revert to grey shortly after. They turn yellow once more as Heatwave introduces himself, and remain that way for several minutes, but are grey again when he contacts the chief.
*As Kade drives away in Heatwave to deal with the Dinobot, Cody's comlink suddenly appears clipped to the collar of his jacket. It vanishes by the next shot, but then inexplicably reappears in-between frames after he powers down the Dinobot. It quickly disappears again, reappears as he moves away from his family for Chief's photo, then disappears once more as he stands in front of the Bots. But when the Burnses (minus Kade) gather around him for the picture, the comlink is present one final time - only to vanish as Heatwave puts a hand on Cody's shoulder.

===Continuity notes===
*Rescue Bots takes place in continuity with ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'', though it's unclear exactly at which point in the other series this episode takes place.

===Transformers references===
*Optimus's message calling Autobots to Earth, which is received by the Rescue Bots' spacecraft riffs off a similar message sent into space by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at the end of the 2007 ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' film.
* When talking to their passengers in vehicle mode, the Rescue Bots display an image of their robot mode faces on a screen, much like the Autobots in ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (cartoon)|Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]''.

===Real-world references===
* The robot in the drive-in movie bears a resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Robby the Robot|Robby the Robot]].

'''Chase, Blades and Boulder must battle a swarm of flying lobsters.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Doc Greene takes flight.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"I'm my own worst enemyyyy!"]]
[[Cody Burns]] and [[Frankie Greene]] are attending the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]]. While Cody prefers the lobster dinner, Frankie is looking forward to the technology parade, in which she'll get to ride on her dad's float. Discussing which is better, they find [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] and [[Doc Greene]] inflating a helium lobster balloon. Frankie scoffs at the fact that the [[Rescue Bot]]s are taking part on the parade too, but at that moment a strong gust of wind causes the balloon's cable tubes to snap. One catches Doc Greene's leg, and as the balloon drifts away, he's taken with it. The others give chase, collecting [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] along the way, but even the [[Autobot]] is unable to save Doc Greene from being whisked away.

Back at the fire station, the other Rescue Bots and the rest of the Burns family get the alert and roll out. Doc Greene manages to catch on to a building and, following Chief Burns's suggestion, unties the rope from his ankle, freeing himself from the balloon. While [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] rescue the Doc from the building, [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] and [[Dani Burns|Dani]] hook the balloon and bring it back down to earth. As the Doc thanks Kade, Heatwave makes a throat-clearing noise, and Chief Burns asks Cody to remind the bots that they're supposed to be pretending to be robots.

[[Image:FlobstersOnParade robots on parade.jpg|thumb|right|250px|They see us rollin', they hatin'.]]
As Cody instructs the Rescue Bots again, he notices Heatwave is missing. [[Boulder]] is also distracted by a robin out the window, so Cody holds an impromptu game of "Simon Says" to help them get acting like robots. Heatwave picks that moment to appear, announcing he's not going to be in the parade because he hates acting like a robot and being climbed all over by kids. Thus when the rest of the Burns family arrives to leave for the parade, Heatwave fakes an ignition problem. Kade's just happy not to have to deal with [[cranky bot|Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]], so the others head out without him. They arrive at the parade, where Doc Greene is filling balloons with his latest invention, [[floatium]], which is a more controllable version of helium. The parade soon starts, with the Rescue Bots marching along behind the floats, though Boulder has to be shushed by Chase. Back at base, Heatwave watches the parade on TV while doing combat excercises and is irritated by the [[Huxley Prescott|reporter's]] comments of his paint color, and the fact that people don't miss him.
[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Doc Greene and Chief check tank.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Actually, Doc, the spray-on pants sound like a much better idea."]]
Back at the fairgrounds, a hungry fair-goer accidentally knocks the tank of floatium into the lobster tank and the lobsters inside immediately begin floating out of the tank. After the Rescue Bots return to the square, Coby points out the [[flobster]]s now filling the sky. While the Bots continue to pretend to be robots, despite a flobster having a close encounter with Blades's face, the humans investigate. Doc Greene quickly calculates it will take two days for the effects of the floatium to wear off, and heads back to the lab to work on a solution. Unfortunately the flobsters quickly turn hostile to the humans present. Coby formulates a plan, and Dani and Blades scoop up a bunch of the flobsters in a cage, before dropping the whole cage back into the lobster tank.

[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Chase holds up lobster.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Alright, everybody; Y-M-C-A!"]]
Cody takes control of the [[ComTab]], and the Rescue Bots and their partners are soon responding to flobster-related emergency calls all over [[Griffin Rock]]. Boulder and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] help [[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] after a flobster severs a nearby power cable. Kade calls the station and attempts to be polite in talking to Heatwave. More flobsters trap Frankie in a phone booth, attracted to the starfish on the back of her jacket. She calls Cody for help, but luckily Heatwave is nearby and gets rid of the flobsters with his hose. As the others celebrate Frankie's rescue, Dani calls them back to the town square, where Doc Greene shows off the destabilizing compound he's created to remove the floatium from the water and flobsters. They can spray the compound directly on the flobsters, but there's only one batch and the flobsters are everywhere. Cody has the idea of using the giant lobster balloons to scare the flobsters and herd them back to the town square where Heatwave can spray them, ending the flobster menace.

The people of Griffin Rock enjoy their lobster lunches, while Blades finally gets the flobster joke, and Heatwave has kids climb all over him.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===

===Continuity errors===
* The common form of helium isn't radioactive and thus ''does not have a half life''. Also, to make a helium balloon neutrally buoyant, all you need to do is add an appropriate amount of weight or use a appropriate helium/air mix rather than pure helium, there's no need to invent a new gas.
* One should probably also not ask how floatium gives lobsters the ability to cut through tree branches and power cables with their claws.

===Real-world references===
* Doc Greene's tenuous grip on the courthouse roof before being rescued bears a suspicious resemblance to the same in the movie ''Back to the Future''.

'''A volcano threatens Griffin Rock, sending the Rescue Bots and Burns family into action.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:UnderPressure Boulder breaks pinball.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Big, green, sensitive, and clumsy. Sounds [[Bulkhead (Animated)|familiar]] enough...]]
While [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] pursue an out-of-control [[robo-landscaper]] through [[Griffin Rock]], [[Cody Burns]] reports that the rest of the team might be delayed, as his siblings are having trouble coming to terms with the fact that their rescue vehicles are [[Autobot|alien robots]]. Chase loses their suspect, only for Burns to realize the robo-landscaper is coming up behind them. Chase transforms, somersaults backward over it, and throws it into a dumpster while reading it its rights. That done, the rest of the team finally arrive, with the Burns family complaining that their Autobot teammates are too difficult to work with. [[Kade Burns|Kade]] is especially unimpressed when [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] transforms with him still inside. Cody promises to talk to his siblings.

Unfortunately, Kade, [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] aren't that interested in hearing about the Autobots' problems. Heatwave contacts [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], but Optimus is confident they'll learn to work with the humans. Cody tells the four bots he has a new plan to help them bond with their human partners. He lures his brothers and sister down to the bunker, but things don't go well; [[Boulder]] breaks the pinball machine, and Dani only wants to talk about flying with [[Blades (RB)|Blades]]. Their bonding session comes to an abrupt end when Burns contacts them with the news that the sewers and pipelines on Main and Park are overflowing with lava and pressure glue. The team scrambles.

[[Image:UnderPressure Chase saves motorist.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"I shall call her Squishy, and she shall be my Squishy...]]
When one impatient woman drives right into the lava and glue, Chase has to save her from her rapidly melting car. Cody's siblings continue to have trouble working with their partners. Kade even brings his own fire truck, though he inadvertently parks it over a manhole, and after a burst of lava and glue causes it to explode, Heatwave saves him. Cody calls [[Doc Greene]], who is hanging upside-down. Greene reveals that the artificial [[Mount Magma]] is the likely source of the lava and glue, and that the lava and glue will cover the island in just under 5 hours. He recommends releasing the lava slowly to avoid an eruption. He asks Cody about the pressure glue and Cody says he will explain later. Once Burns briefs everyone, he asks if the Rescue Bots are willing to help, and, of course, they are.

[[Image:UnderPressure Blades escapes volcano.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Gazuntite!!"]]
Boulder and Graham reach the volcano's crater and work together to locate the controls. Elsewhere, Chase and Chief Burns clear nearby campers. Heatwave and Kade wait impatiently for something to happen, while Dani and Blades move into position over the volcano. After Boulder and Graham leave the crater, Blades uses his winch to operate the main switch, opening the volcano and releasing lava, glue, and ash. However, he's then caught in the ash cloud, and Dani has to cajole him into flying high enough to get out of it. As lava and pressure glue begins flowing, Heatwave and Kade hit it with streams of water, but the glue won't quit, so Heatwave contacts Graham. Graham says Heatwave has to get glue toxin and Heatwave agrees. It looks like the crisis is over, and Cody announces he'll be waiting for everyone in the bunker. It turns out they declared mission accomplished too soon, however, as Dani spots the lava amd glue draining into one of the tunnels leading to the bunker.

Back at the bunker, Cody works on fixing the pinball machine, unaware of the incoming lava and pressure glue.

[[Image:UnderPressure Heatwave Kade fight lava.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"As long as a [[Transmetal 2|big, shiny]] [[Megatron (BW)|dragon]] doesn't [[Master Blaster|rise up]] out of this, I'm happy."]]
Boulder makes a map of the tunnels with his seismic sensors, locating a shortcut for Heatwave and Kade to take to cut off the lava and glue. Dani spots a water and glue toxin tower, and Blades valiantly takes off to brave the ash and reach the tower. Heatwave and Kade are brought up short by a cave-in, but after a few moments of Kade trying to clear the rocks by hand, Heatwave simply smashes through in vehicle mode. They reach the intersection in time and start spraying the lava and glue with water and glue toxin, but with little effect except for the pressure glue. As they run out of water, Dani and Blades dump the glue toxin tank, and its contents spill along the tunnel, cooling the lava and glue. Kade and Heatwave return to the bunker, where Kade hugs his little brother.

The next day, Cody drags his siblings down to the bunker, where a huge Autobot [[insignia]] has been added to the wall.

==Quotes==
"I did it, Dani! I did it!" *strange noise* "Um... excuse me? I think my rotor just hiccuped..."
:—'''Blades''' has his moment of triumph cut short by badly timed bodily functions.

"Anybody order a drink?" 
"What? No, we're taking this to the lava—oh I get it, Earth humor!"
:—'''Dani''' and '''Blades'''

"Don't you ever scare us like that again!" 
"Yeah, what... he said."
:—'''Kade''' and '''Heatwave''' finally agree on something, to the latter's distaste.

"I mean... this is their home now, too, right?" 
"Sure looks that way."
:—'''Cody''' and '''Kade'''

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
* Cody still seems to be having a little trouble keeping his comlink clipped to his jacket, though not nearly as much as he did in the previous episode.
* When Blades flies up to pull the volcano's on-switch, the switch is shown to be right near the split in the volcano's lid. However, when the lava begins to recede and drain several shots later, the switch is nowhere in sight. It's entirely possible that the lava melted it, but then why would the scientists who built the volcano place the switch so close to the edge in the first place?
* An awful lot of water comes out of the container that Blades drops on the lava. Also, dumping a single water tank onto a lava flow probably wouldn't fix the issue of built-up pressure in the Earth's core.

===Real-world references===
* This episode title is ''[[wikipedia:Queen (band)|Queen]]'' and [[wikipedia:David Bowie|David Bowie]]'s [[wikipedia:Under Pressure|song title of the same name]].
* The [[1939]] [[World's Fair]] from which Mount Magma is said to originate was a [[Wikipedia:1939 New York World's Fair|real event held in New York]].

===Trivia===
* In something that's rarely seen in ''Transformers'' shows, Rescue Bots have no trouble transforming with humans remaining inside. Chase transforms with Chief Burns still inside, does acrobatics and throws the robo-landscaper around, and after he returns to vehicle mode, Burns pops out without any apparent ill effects. Heatwave also transforms with Kade still inside.
* Boulder can use his windshield as a display screen.
* What exactly did Kade and Heatwave hope to achieve by simply standing in the lava's path? With no water to cool it, they both would have been burned alive had Blades and Dani not saved the day.

'''A team of Rescue Bots is assigned by Optimus Prime to work with the Burns family on the island of Griffin Rock.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Cody and Chief Burns.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Come on, son, we know it was you. No-one else even likes [[JaAm]]."]]
Somewhere in space, a drifting Autobot spaceship receives a transmission from [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] directing them to [[Earth]]'s coordinates. The ship automatically changes course and eventually touches down in a military base. The four members of [[Rescue Force Sigma-17]] emerge and are greeted by Optimus himself, who informs them that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] is no longer the [[Autobot]]s' home.

On the island of [[Griffin Rock]], [[Cody Burns]] is biking to school when his [[Charlie Burns|dad]] pulls up alongside in the old police car, which is soon to be replaced with a new car as part of the town's function as a hi-tech testing ground. Cody wants to test drive the new vehicles, but the rest of his family points out they're for grown-ups.

Optimus tells the new arrivals that he has a new mission for them: to live with a [[human]] family and learn more about Earth, but they must do so disguised as normal machines. He gives them rescue vehicles to [[scanning|scan]], though [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] is unenthusiastic when he discovers the [[alternate mode]] he's ended up with flies. Optimus introduces them to Chief Charlie Burns, the only human who knows the [[Rescue Bot]]s' true nature.

[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Chief Burns introduces Rescue Bots.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"And [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]] thought [[Human|they]] wouldn't be comfortable with us [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|why]]?]]
That afternoon, Cody arrives at the dedication, where he meets [[Frankie Greene]] and her father, [[Doc Greene]], in the audience, though Frankie's more interested in the new exhibit of robot dinosaurs at the [[Griffin Rock Natural History Museum|museum]]. Chief Burns introduces the gathered crowd to the Rescue Bots, describing them as new hi-tech robots which will work with him and his family as a rescue response unit. When a butterfly lands on [[Boulder]]'s face, the Autobot instinctively goes to shoo it away, but is stopped by [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]. However, Cody's suspicions are already raised. When Cody jumps up and knocks on Boulder's foot, he's told to get lost by [[Huxley Prescott|a reporter]]. The press photos are interrupted when word comes in of a fire at the Natural History Museum.

[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Heatwave catches head.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] wasn't happy about being left out of [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|the new game]].]]
Burns and his rescue squad head to the museum, although [[Dani Burns|Dani]] discovers her helicopter doesn't seem to like flying too high. [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] begins clearing the humans from the area, though is confused when a couple of Egyptian mummies fail to comply. [[Graham Burns|Graham]] is bemused when he tells Boulder to move some planters and the Autobot responds that it would ruin the aesthetics. They manage to get the fire out, and Graham locates the cause: a short in one of the robotic dinosaurs' cable tubes. While he's fixing it, Cody sneaks into the museum, having followed the team on his bike. He's therefore present to witness Heatwave saving Chief Burns and Graham from a falling dinosaur head. Burns explains it as Heatwave having been left in rescue mode, and [[Kade Burns|Kade]] is glad to take the credit. As they leave the museum, the eyes on a short-circuiting [[Trex|animatronic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'']] light up ominously!

That night, back in the fire station, the Rescue Bots take a lift down to a [[Cold War (history)|Cold War]] bunker underneath the station. Upstairs, Cody excuses himself from a dinner of turkey, potatoes, carrots, salad, and mashed potatoes with his family and heads downstairs, where he catches the Rescue Bots complaining about their new gig. Heatwave has just decided they're going to leave when Cody speaks up. The Rescue Bots realize their cover is blown, but after introductions are made, Cody shows them that there are many tunnels leading around the island from the bunker. They check out a giant robot movie at a drive in, and Cody attempts to teach the Rescue Bots how to act like "real" robots as well as give them tips on dealing with his siblings. Lessons are brought to a halt when they spot the robotic ''T. rex'' from the museum, now rampaging along the street. As it moves into the drive-in, Cody gets Chase to start his lights, and they establish the thing is attracted to light. They begin leading the creature to a safe area while Cody contacts his dad.

[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes T-rex chases Chase.jpg|thumb|right|250px|At least, unlike [[Blast from the Past|last time]], [[Grimlock (Animated)|it]] can't breathe fire]]
Burns takes the rest of his family in the old squad car, and they soon catch up with the Rescue Bots as the chase moves outside town. While they try to work out how to deal with the rogue dinosaur, Cody calls Frankie. Soon Boulder is extracting a jail cell from the police station, which Dani and Blades fly to the scene. Meanwhile, Chase keeps the ''T. rex'' occupied, and Kade and Heatwave wet some ground to make mud. Kade is shocked when Heatwave transforms, attracts the dinosaur's attention, and then throws it into the mud. Dani lowers the makeshift cage over it, allowing Cody to shut the dinosaur down.

The next day, they return the dinosaur to the museum, and Burns decides to get a picture of "his heroes" outside. After Heatwave tells Kade that Cody's part of the team or the Rescue Bots leave, Chief Burns reveals that they're not just robots, they're aliens.

==Quotes==
"We need to remove the planters to create a fire block." 
"But... I... That will destroy the harmonious nature of the plaza's design." 
"What?!"
:—'''Graham Burns''' and '''Boulder''', who fails at being a robot.

"I don't know ''where'' you learned that... but no."
:—'''Cody Burns''' draws a line between dancing "the robot" and actually acting like a robot.

"We can't use technology prone to malfunction." 
"They're not malfunctioning... They're aliens." 
"What!?"
:—'''Charlie Burns''' reveals a shocking secret to the Burns family.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*As the Burns family watch the Rescue Bots and dinosaur speed past, the holographic traffic lights on the intersection aren't working, though they were a shot earlier.
*When Chase is polishing his chest and shoulder during Heatwave's rant, the yellow parts of his eyes appear a greyish-green. They become yellow when Cody first appears, but revert to grey shortly after. They turn yellow once more as Heatwave introduces himself, and remain that way for several minutes, but are grey again when he contacts the chief.
*As Kade drives away in Heatwave to deal with the Dinobot, Cody's comlink suddenly appears clipped to the collar of his jacket. It vanishes by the next shot, but then inexplicably reappears in-between frames after he powers down the Dinobot. It quickly disappears again, reappears as he moves away from his family for Chief's photo, then disappears once more as he stands in front of the Bots. But when the Burnses (minus Kade) gather around him for the picture, the comlink is present one final time - only to vanish as Heatwave puts a hand on Cody's shoulder.

===Continuity notes===
*Rescue Bots takes place in continuity with ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'', though it's unclear exactly at which point in the other series this episode takes place.

===Transformers references===
*Optimus's message calling Autobots to Earth, which is received by the Rescue Bots' spacecraft riffs off a similar message sent into space by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at the end of the 2007 ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' film.
* When talking to their passengers in vehicle mode, the Rescue Bots display an image of their robot mode faces on a screen, much like the Autobots in ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (cartoon)|Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]''.

===Real-world references===
* The robot in the drive-in movie bears a resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Robby the Robot|Robby the Robot]].
* During the sequence in which Cody is attempting to teach everyone how to act like robots, Blades is seen doing the [[Wikipedia:Robot (dance)|Robot]].

'''A storm strands Cody and the Bots on a deserted island where they find a pirate ship that holds the key to a mystery.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:LostBell Pirate attack.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
[[Griffin Rock]], [[1812]], and the lighthouse keeper spots an incoming pirate ship moments before it opens fire. The town is set ablaze and the pirates begin plundering it. 200 years later, [[Cody Burns]] relates the story of the ''[[Oaken Crow]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> attack on the town and the theft of the [[Settlers' Bell]], before the pirates departed from the town. Cody has to cut short his story as he has to go to his [[Lad Pioneer]]'s [[Founder's Day]]'s rehearsal. However, Cody's excitement is tempered when [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] announces that the ceremony's on hold due to a major storm which is about to hit the island. The team rolls to the rescue!

[[Image:LostBell adrift at sea.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Hey, who's up for reproducing The Raft of the Medusa'?"]]
At the airport, a light plane is blown across the runway towards a pilot until Blades swoops down and grabs it. [[Dani Burns|Dani]] starts showing interest in the young pilot they've just saved. As Blades's rotor was bent during the plane rescue, he, Cody and Dani are forced to hike back to where the others are sandbagging. [[Boulder]] observes the tower with the missing bell, and Cody says the pirates were never seen again. They continue to secure the marina, but as Chief Burns notes some idiot has stacked the shipping crates too high, the top crate is struck by lightning. It falls, severing the end of the pier which carries Cody and the Bots out to sea. The Burns family tries frantically to get Cody on the comms, but it turns out he's OK. During the little communications time they have, the Bots promise to take care of Cody.

[[Image:LostBell camping with Rescue Bots.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"It'll help if you just sing along~"]]
Cody and the Bots eventually drift out of the storm and spot a small island. Unlike the [[Rescue Bot]]s, Cody is enthusiastic about being a castaway and locates a waterfall to use as a location for a shelter. The Bots take this as their cue to build a shelter and head to get materials, though [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] have a brief encounter with the puffins. Unfortunately the resulting shelter collapses after Boulder opens the door, but Cody has built his own shelter using Lad Pioneer know-how anyway and even started a fire. Realizing he now needs food, the Bots head to the beach and are completely unsuccessful at gathering anything (clams, crabs, and seagull eggs) edible, apart from a snail Chase offers up. Cody has already succeeded in catching a weed fish. He suggests they gather firewood, and as night falls, the four bots soon have a large stack. As they sit around the fire, Cody starts to tell a spooky story but when Blades grabs a piece of den wood, the boy notices that the log in question has the figurehead of the ''Oaken Crow'' on it. Though Cody is keen to go check it out then and there, [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and the others insist on waiting until morning.

[[Image:LostBell bell ringing on the pirate ship.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
The next day, Griffin Rock has a flotilla of boats and Dani's new friend in a plane searching the seas. On the island, Cody and the Bots reach the area where they found the wood, and as they look around, Cody disappears with a cry. First Heatwave and Boulder, and then Blades and Chase fall down the same hole, which Cody announces was built by the pirates. He's found the ''Oaken Crow'' in a cave, blocked in by a rock slide. While the Bots contemplate the idea that rescue might not be as imminent as they hoped, Cody climbs on board, and finds the Settlers' Bell, safe and sound. The Bots tell him they're worried that rescue might be a vain hope, but Cody has an idea—the pirates might not have been able to clear the rockfall, but the four Bots might. They soon do so, and tow the pirate ship clear of the cave before jumping aboard. Elsewhere, the flotilla is beginning to break up as it gets foggy when the Burns family hears a bell and Cody's voice comes over the comm. Father and son are soon reunited on the deck of the ''Oaken Crow''.

The bell is returned to the old lighthouse, and Cody and two other Lad Pioneers get the honor of ringing it. Dani waves to the pilot as he overflies the celebrations, much to her brothers' amusement. Blades tries to get the others interested in starting the Bot Pioneers, with no success whatsoever.

The town is set ablaze and the pirates begin plundering it. 200 years later, [[Cody Burns]] relates the story of the ''[[Oaken Crow]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> attack on the town and the theft of the [[Settlers' Bell]], before the pirates departed from the town. Cody has to cut short his story as he has to go to his [[Lad Pioneer]] [[Founder's Day]]. However, Cody's excitement is tempered when [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] announces that the ceremony's on hold due to a major storm which is about to hit the island. The team rolls to the rescue!

[[Image:LostBell adrift at sea.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Hey, who's up for reproducing The Raft of the Medusa'?"]]
At the airport, a light plane is blown across the runway towards a pilot until Blades swoops down and grabs it. [[Dani Burns|Dani]] starts showing interest in the young pilot they've just saved. As Blades's rotor was bent during the plane rescue, he, Cody and Dani are forced to hike back to where the others are sandbagging. [[Boulder]] observes the tower with the missing bell, and Cody says the pirates were never seen again. They continue to secure the marina, but as Chief Burns notes some idiot has stacked the shipping crates too high, the top crate is struck by lightning. It falls, severing the end of the pier which carries Cody and the Bots out to sea. The Burns family tries frantically to get Cody on the comms, but it turns out he's OK. During the little communications time they have, the Bots promise to take care of Cody.

[[Image:LostBell camping with Rescue Bots.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"It'll help if you just sing along~"]]
Cody and the Bots eventually drift out of the storm and spot a small island. Unlike the [[Rescue Bot]]s, Cody is enthusiastic about being a castaway and locates a waterfall to use as a location for a shelter. The Bots take this as their cue to build a shelter and head to get materials, though [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] have a brief encounter with the wildlife. Unfortunately the resulting shelter collapses after Boulder opens the door, but Cody has built his own shelter using Lad Pioneer know-how anyway and even started a fire. Realizing he now needs food, the Bots head to the beach and are completely unsuccessful at gathering anything edible, apart from a snail Chase offers up. Cody has already succeeded in catching a fish. He suggests they gather firewood, and as night falls, the four bots soon have a large stack. As they sit around the fire, Cody starts to tell a spooky story but when Blades grabs a piece of wood, the boy notices that the log in question has the figurehead of the ''Oaken Crow'' on it. Though Cody is keen to go check it out then and there, [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and the others insist on waiting until morning.

[[Image:LostBell bell ringing on the pirate ship.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
The next day, Griffin Rock has a flotilla of boats and Dani's new friend in a plane searching the seas. On the island, Cody and the Bots reach the area where they found the wood, and as they look around, Cody disappears with a cry. First Heatwave and Boulder, and then Blades and Chase fall down the same hole, which Cody announces was built by the pirates. He's found the ''Oaken Crow'' in a cave, blocked in by a rock slide. While the Bots contemplate the idea that rescue might not be as imminent as they hoped, Cody climbs on board, and finds the Settlers' Bell, safe and sound. The Bots tell him they're worried that rescue might be a vain hope, but Cody has an idea—the pirates might not have been able to clear the rockfall, but the four Bots might. They soon do so, and tow the pirate ship clear of the cave before jumping aboard. Elsewhere, the flotilla is beginning to break up as it gets foggy when the Burns family hears a bell and Cody's voice comes over the comm. Father and son are soon reunited on the deck of the ''Oaken Crow''.

The bell is returned to the old lighthouse, and Cody and two other Lad Pioneers get the honor of ringing it. Dani waves to the pilot as he overflies the celebrations, much to her brothers' amusement. Blades tries to get the others interested in starting the Bot Pioneers, with no success whatsoever.

'''The Rescue Bots disobey the Chief's orders and find themselves in a life-threatening situation.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:RulesAndRegulations bouncy castle net.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Just a little more to the right, guys - wait, no, the left!"]]
[[Cody Burns|Cody]], keen to play catch with [[Charlie Burns|dad]], finds his siblings watching [[television]]. [[Huxley Prescott]] has dared himself to jump out of an airplane, however as [[Graham Burns|Graham]] observes, Huxley's parachute cord is tangled up. Chief Burns orders the team to scramble, much to Cody's disappointment. As the reporter is falling way too fast to pluck out of the air the team looks for an alternate way to save him and Cody spots a nearby kids party with a bouncy house. [[Kade Burns|Kade]] manages to clear the children off it, and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] uses the downdraft from his blades to redirect Huxley so that the other bots can use the bouncy house to break Huxley's fall without breaking him.

Later, Chief Burns finds Cody looking sad because he didn't get to spend time with dad. Charlie decides to invite him along on a security assignment on [[Griffin Crest]]. Cody's soon packing though the bots are disappointed that they're not going to get to come along. Blades fails to see the attraction in sleeping outdoors, while [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] has found the [[Lad Pioneers Handbook]] (1959 edition) and starts quoting from it. As Chief Burns arrives to get Cody, he tells the bots that Kade is now in charge, and orders them not to cross Canyon Road. The two Burnses reach Griffin Crest, while Chief Burns explains how the Crest has an [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP generator]] on it to create a safe zone from technology, in case anything ever went rogue.

[[Image:RulesAndRegulations Boulder in bubble tent.jpg|thumb|right|200px|If he were a [[Rattrap|mouse]], this would be [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]'s [[Changing of the Guard|dream]].]]
Back at base, Chase is still reading the handbook, while [[Boulder]] messes with the camping gear. Boulder inadvertently gets stuck in a [[bubble tent]], which also triggers a campfire starter, but the minor emergency is soon dealt with.

Cody and Chief Burns continue to check the fence around the Crest, but encounter a bear. They hide behind a rock and the Chief uses a holographic generator provided by [[Doc Greene]] to lead the bear away. While dad opens the gate, Cody calls the station, but his garbled message leads the bots to believe that there's the two humans are being attacked by a bear. Chase stops Heatwave giving the order to roll out, noting that it would be against orders and that Kade is in charge. They try to contact Kade, but Kade's gone to a movie with [[Haley (RB)|Haley]] and is ignoring his comms. Heatwave decides they're heading out anyway.

At the Crest, Cody and his dad watch a geyser, [[Old Parker]], go off, though Chief Burns has to chase away a squirrel.

[[Image:RulesAndRegulations Burnses escape bear.jpg|thumb|left|250px|They just bearly escaped!]]
The bots approach the Crest, but Chase stops short, determined to follow the order not to cross Canyon Road. Once Blades flies over the fence surrounding the crest, he's hit by the EMP, and as Heatwave and Boulder crash through the fence, so are they. The three bots come to a halt, immobilized in their [[alternate mode|vehicle modes]]. Chase, unaware of the problem, finds he can't contact the others. He ends up ringing the emergency line and faking a litter emergency so he can call out the rest of the team. Things get worse for the immobilized bots, as a bear, attracted by the sandwich Kade left in Heatwave, starts attacking the Rescue Bot.

The sound of Heatwave's tire being burst reaches the Chief, but before they can investigate, they encounter the bear and are forced to retreat up a nearby cliff. After Cody nearly slips, they start working their way along the side and Cody spots the immobilized bots, and the fact that they're stuck on top of Old Parker. They start heading down slowly, to avoid the bear.

[[Image:RulesAndRegulations Chase rescues Heatwave.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
The rest of the team arrives in Kade's old fire engine, and Kade finally overrides Chief Burns' orders so Chase can cross Canyon Road. They soon arrive at the fence around Griffin Crest and use a rope to tie Chase to Boulder and Blades. He manages to pull the pair clear of the EMP zone, but Old Parker eruption is imminent and it's too hot for the [[human]]s to go back and hook up Heatwave. Chase runs into the EMP zone and throws himself on top of Heatwave, right as the geyser goes off. After a few worrying moments, as the steam clears, the others see that Heatwave and Chase are safe inside the bubble tent. The pair are hauled out, and Chase points out that the tent's resistance to high temperature is in the manual. Chief contacts them from the other side of the zone to let them know he and Cody are OK, before he goes to enjoy a night of camping with Cody.

'''The Rescue Bots are accidentally shrunk and the Burns family must work without their partners.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:SmallBlessings Kade rescues Haley.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"I always get the dirty jobs."]]
[[Huxley Prescott]] reports on a growing situation at the [[Griffin Rock dam]] where a minivan is teetering on the edge. Though Prescott reports that [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] and [[Dani Burns|Dani]] are on their way, [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and [[Kade Burns|Kade]] are also heading there as Kade has been trying to get a date with the minivan's driver, [[Haley (RB)|Haley]]. They take a shortcut and reach the other side of the gorge. At Kade's insistence, Heatwave dangles him over the edge using the ladder and he reaches for her as the minivan starts to fall loose. Heatwave also begins to slip, but despite Dani's offer to drop a winch, Kade manages to grab Haley and pull her from the minivan before it falls. Prescott rushes up for an interview during which Kade is dismissive of Heatwave's contribution and then takes Haley to get some Chinese coffee. They leave, not noticing that the minivan has clogged the dam's overflow pipe.

Back at the fire station, [[Cody Burns|Cody]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] invite the Bots to the [[Hall of Inspiration]] with them. Blades is busy getting detailed, and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] has an enthralling afternoon of speed trap detail ahead. Heatwave is annoyed at having to clean himself and the way Kade ditched him, and Cody promises to give Kade a talk. In the end, [[Boulder]] is the only Bot who goes to the Hall. After they check out the hologram of [[Chester A. Arthur|President Arthur]], Graham heads to the basement to look at the wiring while Boulder and Cody watch a demonstration of some new inventions by [[Doc Greene]] and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]]. His demonstration of the [[Camera Gloves]] and [[Minimizer]] go down a treat, especially with [[Evan (RB)|Evan]] and [[Myles]], a couple of local small-time criminals.

[[Image:SmallBlessings Blades and Boulder shrink.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Kade is visited in his room by Cody, who talks to him about his treatment of Heatwave, but Kade is dismissive of Cody's concerns. They're interrupted by an alert—the burglar alarm in the Hall of Inspiration has gone off. The team soon arrives and surrounds the hall, but Kade decides to head inside. He encounters Myles, who fires the Minimizer at him. Heatwave jumps to protect Kade and is hit instead, shrinking out of sight. Myles fires again, but Kade jumps behind cover and calls for backup. Boulder, Blades, Dani and Graham all arrive through the front doors, only for the two bots to be hit by the Minimizer ray and disappear. Chase sneaks in the back door and grabs Evan and Myles, allowing [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] to arrest them, but they refuse to say what happened to the three Rescue Bots. The damaged Minimizer sets off the sprinkler system.

[[Image:SmallBlessings rats!.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Rats... why did it have to be rats..."]]
The three shrunken Bots find they can't communicate with their human partners. Even Blades, trying to talk to Dani as she fixes the sprinkler, is swatted away. Unfortunately the water from the sprinklers soon washes Boulder and Heatwave into a sewer drain, and Blades follows them by air. They land up in the sewer where Boulder's fascination at their new perspective is cut short by the appearance of some large rats. The trio jump into a nearby empty bottle and use it to bowl the rats before escaping through a break in the line. Luckily Boulder remembers he has a map of the sewer system, and they start following it.

The Burns family mopes over their lost partners. Dad reports that the two criminals are still not talking, but also that the Griffin Rock dam is sending them an error message. Kade heads there in his old truck. Meanwhile, Chase attempts to contact the rest of the team using the main comms system to no avail. He shows Cody an image of the Minimizer, and Cody recognizes it.

The three shrunken bots finally reach daylight, just in time for a flood of water to wash them out of the end of the pipe. They manage to fly to the safety of the nearby dam, which is filled to bursting point. They start to head to the fire station, but meet Kade coming the other way. He almost runs over them in his truck, but Heatwave manages to take out a tire in time. Not seeing the Bots, Kade starts climbing down to the platform on the side of the dam.

Cody has meantime taken the Minimizer to Doc Greene to get fixed. Initial tests are at least promising, if not perfect.

[[Image:SmallBlessings Boulder presses button.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Kade discovers the state of the dam is not good, but the platform starts to give way. As he dangles from the platform, Blades drops Heatwave off on his shoulder. Heatwave's able to use Kade's comms device to contact the rest of the team and alert them to the situation at the dam. Boulder and Blades work together to lower the fire truck's hose to Kade, allowing him to grab it and climb to safety. Graham and Dani, working from the station, spot the minivan still blocking the spillway, and Cody uses the Minimizer to shrink it, releasing the water.

With the dam fixed, they return to the fire station where Cody uses the Minimizer to de-shrink the three bots. It's immediately apparent that they need to be cleaned. As the others run off to get soap and water, there's a knock at the door, which Kade says is Haley. Though Heatwave grumbles, it turns out Kade's invited her over to help wash the Bots.

'''Cody looks for proof that the new scientist's invention is really a villainous plan.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:ReignOfMorocco MorBot rescues Harrison.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
[[Huxley Prescott]] reports on the recent events, including the retirement of the [[Rescue Bot]]s and the appointing of [[Thaddeus Morocco|Dr Morocco]] as head scientist. His report is interrupted by [[Harrison (RB)|Harrison]]'s out-of-control helipack ride. The [[MorBot]] turns up and begins a pursuit, crashing through a building and causing two car accidents. [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] saves two passerbys from being hit by rubble from the building. Though the rest of the team wants to be called in, Burns says they can't, and the MorBot uses a fire hydrant to destroy Harrison's helipack before returning to the lab. Within the lab, Morocco is busy trying to sell off Doc Greene's inventions.

At the station, the Rescue Bots are making use of their spare time. An optimistic [[Boulder]] is painting a rose, [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] is exploring alternate career options, and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] is studying humans by watching [[television]]. Meanwhile [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] is fruitlessly trying to contact [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] for reassignment and is considering getting their ship back into service.

[[Image:ReignOfMorocco Burns complains to Morocco.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Objection!!"]]
Burns takes the [[nanite]] module to the [[Luskey|mayor]], but as there's nothing linking the logo to Morocco, he doesn't get anywhere. [[Doc Greene]] is packing to move to the mainland in a couple of days as he needs a job. [[Cody Burns|Cody]] and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] are determined that this won't happen, and decide to look for evidence in the lab. Cody persuades [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and Blades to take him up and Cody spies on the doctor through binoculars until the MorBot interrupts them. It chases them through the wind farm back to the fire station, where the other Rescue Bots stand ready. Conflict is averted when Morocco calls the MorBot back to the lab.

Morocco and Mayor Luskey are returning to port in the ''[[Floating Xanadu]]'' when they're met at the dock by Burns and Cody, the former of whom complains about the MorBot attacking Blades. Despite the threat of angry voters, the mayor is placated by Morocco announcing he'll reprogram the MorBot. Burns isn't convinced, and even Prescott is beginning to sour on the machine, showing footage of the MorBot wrecking a driver's car and tearing up a tree to retrieve [[Mister Pettypaws]].

[[Image:ReignOfMorocco Chase makes soup.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Without a sense of taste, you are free of distractions, and thus you can reach the essence of pure flavor!"]]
Heatwave does circuits outside the fire station, while inside Chase prepares pox soup, as he's decided to become a gourmet chef. The results aren't appetizing, and the pox soup ends up being used as paint by Boulder, who's now painting a less rosy picture.

Cody and Frankie sneak into the lab via a holographic doggie door. They find Morocco making sales over the phone, and discover that Frankie has been locked out of the computer. They're found by the man himself, who sends the MorBot after them. They hide behind boxes and make their way to an elevator, but when they reach the roof, they realize they're trapped. A grenade knocked loose by the MorBot causes an explosion.

[[Image:ReignOfMorocco Rescue Bots vs MorBot.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"SHEEAAAGH!" in 3, 2, 1...]]
With a mounting number of emergency calls and no sign of the MorBot in town, the mayor is forced to call in the Rescue Bots. While the team is on their way to the lab, Cody and Frankie evade the MorBot temporarily by heading into Morocco's airship and closing a door. They find Morocco's computer is active and displaying incriminating evidence. Cody radios Dani, who starts instructing him on flying the blimp while the other Rescue Bots extinguish the lab fire. With the MorBot breaking down the door, Cody brings the blimp down and the two kids disembark, followed by the MorBot, which is promptly surrounded by the Rescue Bots, who tear it to pieces. Frankie presents Burns with the evidence she's downloaded from the computer.

The council reinstates Burns's team and Doc Greene, who go back to the station for a celebratory barbecue while Prescott reports on the good news. Doctor Morocco in the meantime has left the island, having stolen the mayor's ship.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*When the Rescue Bots move in to punch the [[MorBot]], the lineup from the MorBot's perspective (from left to right) is [[Boulder]], [[Chase (RB)|Chase]], and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]], with [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] absent. But when the punches land and the camera pulls away, the lineup is Boulder, Heatwave, and Blades, while Chase is absent.

===Continuity errors===
*And how, exactly, did Prescott get the footage in his opening report?
*When Frankie and Cody prepare to infiltrate the lab, Frankie points out that she lived there and knows her way around. During the actual infiltration though, Cody is the one constantly deciding where they should go until they end up at a dead end on the balcony. Somehow, this result surprises Frankie.

===Continuity notes===
*Inventions which appear on the monitor as Morocco makes his phone call include the electro-magnetic sensors from "[[Deep Trouble]]", the newspaper dispenser from "[[Hotshots]]", [[floatium]] from "[[Flobsters on Parade]]", the [[Robo-Baby]] from "[[Four Bots and a Baby]]", a cleaning bot, the [[Turbo Cycle (RB)|Turbo Cycle]] from "Four Bots and a Baby", and the [[Dither|Helper Bot]] which appeared in "Deep Trouble".
*One of Morocco's clients is seeking highly advanced weapon technology and is building an army. Given that ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' shares continuity with ''Rescue Bots'', it seems almost certain that the good doctor is selling to [[MECH]].
*In a similar vein, no definitive reason is given as to why Optimus Prime doesn't respond to Heatwave's messages. While it's hard to know whether it's by coincidence or design, this episode of ''Rescue Bots'' aired in the middle of a four-part ''Prime'' storyline that ''did'' have Optimus away from base on a solo mission.
*The monitors on Morocco's airship display images of the shark submarine from "Deep Trouble", the nanite canister from "[[Cody on Patrol]]", the road roller and Doc Greene's [[solar car]] from the previous episode, and [[Trex]] from "[[Return of the Dinobot]]".

===Transformers references===
* The big green guy of the group [[Bulkhead (Animated)|likes to paint]].

*A panel on the computer on Morocco's blimp is drawn to resemble [[R2-D2]]'s torso.

Burns takes the [[nanite]] module to the [[Luskey|mayor]], but as there's nothing linking the logo to Morocco, he doesn't get anywhere. [[Doc Greene]] is packing to move to the mainland in a couple of days as he needs a job. [[Cody Burns|Cody]] and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] are determined that this won't happen, and decide to look for evidence in the lab. Cody persuades [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and Blades to take him up and Cody spies on the doctor through binoculars until the MorBot interrupts them. It chases them through the wind farm back to the fire station, where the other Rescue Bots stand ready. Conflict is averted when Morocco calls the MorBot back to the lab.

Morocco and Mayor Luskey are returning to port in the ''[[Floating Xanadu]]'' when they're met at the dock by Burns and Cody, the former of whom complains about the MorBot attacking Blades. Despite the threat of angry voters, the mayor is placated by Morocco announcing he'll reprogram the MorBot. Burns isn't convinced, and even Prescott is beginning to sour on the machine, showing footage of the MorBot wrecking a driver's car and tearing up a tree to retrieve [[Mister Pettypaws]].

[[Image:ReignOfMorocco Chase makes soup.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Without a sense of taste, you are free of distractions, and thus you can reach the essence of pure flavor!"]]
Heatwave does circuits outside the fire station, while inside Chase prepares pea soup, as he's decided to become a gourmet chef. The results aren't appetizing, and the pea soup ends up being used as paint by Boulder, who's now painting a less rosy picture.

Cody and Frankie sneak into the lab via a holographic doggie door. They find Morocco making sales over the phone, and discover that Frankie has been locked out of the computer. They're found by the man himself, who sends the MorBot after them. They hide behind boxes and make their way to an elevator, but when they reach the roof, they realize they're trapped. A grenade knocked loose by the MorBot causes an explosion.

[[Image:ReignOfMorocco Rescue Bots vs MorBot.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"SHEEAAAGH!" in 3, 2, 1...]]
With a mounting number of emergency calls and no sign of the MorBot in town, the mayor is forced to call in the Rescue Bots. While the team is on their way to the lab, Cody and Frankie evade the MorBot temporarily by heading into Morocco's airship and closing a door. They find Morocco's computer is active and displaying incriminating evidence. Cody radios Dani, who starts instructing him on flying the blimp while the other Rescue Bots extinguish the lab fire. With the MorBot breaking down the door, Cody brings the blimp down and the two kids disembark, followed by the MorBot, which is promptly surrounded by the Rescue Bots, who tear it to pieces. Frankie presents Burns with the evidence she's downloaded from the computer.

The council reinstates Burns's team and Doc Greene, who go back to the station for a celebratory barbecue while Prescott reports on the good news. Doctor Morocco in the meantime has left the island, having stolen the mayor's ship.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*When the Rescue Bots move in to punch the [[MorBot]], the lineup from the MorBot's perspective (from left to right) is [[Boulder]], [[Chase (RB)|Chase]], and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]], with [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] absent. But when the punches land and the camera pulls away, the lineup is Boulder, Heatwave, and Blades, while Chase is absent.

===Continuity errors===
*And how, exactly, did Prescott get the footage in his opening report?
*When Frankie and Cody prepare to infiltrate the lab, Frankie points out that she lived there and knows her way around. During the actual infiltration though, Cody is the one constantly deciding where they should go until they end up at a dead end on the balcony. Somehow, this result surprises Frankie.

===Continuity notes===
*Inventions which appear on the monitor as Morocco makes his phone call include the electro-magnetic sensors from "[[Deep Trouble]]", the newspaper dispenser from "[[Hotshots]]", [[floatium]] from "[[Flobsters on Parade]]", the [[Robo-Baby]] from "[[Four Bots and a Baby]]", a cleaning bot, the [[Turbo Cycle (RB)|Turbo Cycle]] from "Four Bots and a Baby", and the [[Dither|Helper Bot]] which appeared in "Deep Trouble".
*One of Morocco's clients is seeking highly advanced weapon technology and is building an army. Given that ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' shares continuity with ''Rescue Bots'', it seems almost certain that the good doctor is selling to [[MECH]].
*In a similar vein, no definitive reason is given as to why Optimus Prime doesn't respond to Heatwave's messages. While it's hard to know whether it's by coincidence or design, this episode of ''Rescue Bots'' aired in the middle of a four-part ''Prime'' storyline that ''did'' have Optimus away from base on a solo mission.
*The monitors on Morocco's airship display images of the shark submarine from "Deep Trouble", the nanite canister from "[[Cody on Patrol]]", the road roller and Doc Greene's [[solar car]] from the previous episode, and [[Trex]] from "[[Return of the Dinobot]]".

'''A scientist tries to replace the team with a new invention, leaving everyone out of the action.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:OtherDoctor roller vs gnomes.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
[[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] is having a nap in [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] when they spot [[Rubio|Mr Rubio]] speeding, but despite Chase wanting to stop him, Burns says they'll be lenient. Moments later they spot an out-of-control road roller. The roller reaches the [[Luskey|mayor]]'s house and starts demolishing his lawn. The [[Rescue Bot]]s catch up, but as they block the roller's path, it's knocked aside by a strange vehicle which transforms into a robot. It disposes of the roller by making a hole for the thing to roll into and then drowning it in water. While everyone is confused at what this newcomer is, the mayor is impressed. Answers come as [[Morocco|Doctor Morocco]] descends from an airship overhead. Morocco claims his [[MorBot]] can do the work of the whole Rescue Bot team, and proposes a contest to prove its worth. The mayor invites both Chief Burns and Morocco to the next council meeting.

[[Cody Burns|Cody]] and Chief Burns visit [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] and [[Doc Greene]] at the bed-and-breakfast, and warn them of Dr. Morocco's return. Greene, retired from his job as chief scientist, has taken up bird house construction.

[[Image:OtherDoctor Burns and Morocco at council.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
At the council meeting, Morocco makes the case for his MorBot, claiming that it would keep people safe without endangering any humans. When Morocco threatens to go find another town, Mayor Luskey decides on doing a trial of the MorBot, after which Burns's team will step aside if it's successful.

The team is disgruntled. [[Boulder]] has already started packing, but Burns points out that the MorBot is just an unthinking machine, and everyone perks up. An explosion at the dock, caused by a grenade with a familiar "M" logo, soon has the Burns team swinging into action. They reach the dock and start fighting the fire, but Cody spots that the crates are grenade explosives. While the humans fall back, the bots continue their work, until the MorBot turns up and causes a wave which washes over the dock. The fire is out, but as everyone observes, the dock is a disaster zone. The operation has been observed by [[Huxley Prescott]], who excitedly reports on the MorBot's first victory.

[[Image:OtherDoctor Rescue Bots washed away.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
The Rescue Bots are even more dispirited, and Cody attempts to cheer them up by telling them the story of [[John Henry]], conveniently leaving out the ending. The Rescue Bots promise to work harder.

As a young boy plays with a toy rocket in the park, Morocco places a small canister of [[nanite]]s in it. The rocket is soon rampaging through town, and despite their best efforts, the Rescue Bots are unable to catch it, as it's being radio controlled by Morocco himself. The MorBot has no such trouble, though it totals several parked cars in the process. Prescott reports it as a victory for the MorBot, though Frankie is moved to complain about his bias.

[[Image:OtherDoctor Mayor Luskey and Morocco.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Cody discovers that Morocco had possession of the rocket and contacts Burns, who's busy with cleanup, and then Frankie. As he's talking to Frankie, Doc Greene's [[solar car]] loses control, thanks to a canister of nanites. The Rescue Bots head to help and, despite Morocco radio controlling the car, manage to bring it to a stop so the Greenes can get out. Though [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] covers the solar panel with a tarp and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] rips out the battery, the car springs back into life. The Rescue Bots, joined by Prescott, follow it to the town hall, where it's narrowly prevented from squashing the mayor by the MorBot. Morocco turns up to take the credit, and Luskey announces that Morocco is the new lead scientist. Frankie swears to get to the bottom of this, but the mayor stands the Rescue Bots down.

Back at the fire station, Heatwave is furious at losing, while Boulder finishes reading John Henry's story. Heatwave thinks they need to be reassigned. Cody, however, gets a call from Frankie, who reports that her dad has found a canister of nanites in the remains of the solar car.

'''An intruder uses a robot ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' to plant a virus in Griffin Rock's central computer, causing havoc.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:ReturnDinoBot Frankie sits on Trex.jpg|left|250px|thumb]]
One exceedingly foggy day, the [[Rescue Bot]]s marvel at this new weather, and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] is particularly happy because it means he'll be grounded and can [[Most Dangerous Chefs|watch TV]]. [[Bufkin|Mr Bufkin]] calls the emergency line to report a [[dinosaur]] near the lab, and when [[Cody Burns|Cody]] checks out the location on the [[ComTab]], he spots [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] being menaced by the robotic ''tyrannosaurus rex'' from the [[Griffin Rock Natural History Museum|museum]]. The Rescue Bots transform, and Cody rides with [[Dani Burns|Dani]] in Blades. They quickly reach the lab and surround the dinobot, only to find its off switch is missing. Frankie and [[Doc Greene]] put their fears at rest though—the dinosaur has been reprogrammed to be controlled by Doc Greene's gauntlet, and can now do the [[Macarena]].

Redubbed [[Trex]], the dinosaur has been pressed into service fetching coffee (tea) with milk and no sugar and guarding the lab. Doc Greene explains that the lab has been broken into recently and left behind items such as the [[nanite]]s. Cody recognizes the logo on the nanites from the [[shark submarine]] wreckage. Greene believes the intruder is trying to hack into the town's central computer. The Burns family leaves to investigate a report from the mayor.

[[Image:ReturnDinoBot shadowy figure and Trex.jpg|right|250px|thumb]]
While Trex stomps around in the fog, a [[Morocco|shadowy figure]] uses Greene's stolen gauntlet to access his systems. When Frankie calls Trex in, she find the discarded gauntlet and when Greene plugs Trex into the computer, it detects an incursion and a virus through the firewall.

Cody and the bots get lost in the fog, but are soon reunited with the rest of the family. Their troubles aren't over as technology begins to malfunction. The hologram stoplight leaves its post, the park sprinklers go off, and a garbage truck begins dumping garbage on city hall. [[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]], now trapped inside, is drenched by the sprinkler system. As Cody is taking a call from Frankie who tells him the island's mainframe has been hacked, he's menaced by a [[robo-landscaper]]. [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Boulder]] make short work of the device, and the team splits up to take care of the many emergency calls they're getting.

[[Image:ReturnDinoBot antivirusing the computer.jpg|left|250px|thumb]]
At the lab, Greene starts running an anti-virus program from his PDA, only for them to realize that Trex is responsible for the virus. The dinosaur starts chasing them, and Greene's gauntlet is useless to control it.

While [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and [[Kade Burns|Kade]] work at rescuing the mayor for town hall, Chase helps prevent a taxi driver from running into a truck. With Boulder's help, Heatwave extracts the mayor, who is furious to learn that Doc Greene is partly responsible. Dani and Cody spot a swarm of robo-landscapers moving through town.

Trex, stalking around the lab, knocks the PDA loose from the computer. Frankie temporarily leaves her hiding place to plug it back in, but manages to avoid being chomped by the dinosaur. As the virus removal resumes, Trex runs out of the lab.

[[Image:ReturnDinoBot Rescue Bots dogpile Trex.jpg|right|250px|thumb]]
The Rescue Bots fight with the landscapers. They're outnumbered, but luckily the antivirus works in time to shut down the landscapers. With that threat gone, they face another one—Trex has arrived. Doc Greene and Frankie haul up. After Trex knocks over their truck, the Rescue Bots pile on and manage to subdue the robotic beast. Cody has an idea to control Trex via verbal commands, and Greene commands Trex to bring him his coffee (tea). It works, and Greene gets a lift back to his lab in Blades so he can remove the virus from Trex. The rest of the team arrives to be told by Greene that it's too late! While they're gasping in horror, he clarifies that it's too late for them to watch the devirus process, and Trex is fine.

The next day, the team is contemplating the mess the town is in, when Doc Greene delivers devastating news—the mayor has relieved him of his post as lead scientist of [[Griffin Rock]]. Nearby, a shadowy figure scurries away, dropping a card with a familiar logo on it.

'''Cody, his family and the Rescue Bots have to stop a snow storm in July when a weather machine goes haywire.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:ChristmasInJuly the Mayor is on fire.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Not the hair! Not the hair!"]]
[[Huxley Prescott]] reports on the heatwave currently gripping [[Griffin Rock]], which [[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] demonstrates by breaking an egg on the sidewalk so it can fry. Nearby [[Cody Burns|Cody]] and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] sell lemonade. [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] disapproves of their illegal commercial venture, but [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] is more concerned at Chase's lack of air conditioning. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and [[Kade Burns|Kade]] provide water for the kids to cool off. Surprisingly, it turns out to be not only hot enough to fry eggs, but to set them on fire, and soon the Mayor's chef hat has caught alight too. Luckily Heatwave and Kade put him out.

Cody arrives back at the fire station in search of more ice and finds [[Boulder]] looking up information on seasons. Boulder's confused by the concept and wants Winter now so he can see some snow. Cody has trouble explaining the concept to him, but it gives him an idea. He visits [[Doc Greene]], who knows of an old [[weather machine]], predating Greene's arrival on Griffin Rock. They venture into the "Best Left Forgotten" room and find the weather machine in perfect condition, though Frankie doesn't think much of Cody's idea of using it to create a snowfall.

[[Image:ChristmasInJuly Blade snowbot.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The fact that he's a giant alien robot makes this all the more adorable.]]
They start setting the weather machine up in the town square, while Frankie, preferring the summer, heads down to the river. Cody is annoyed when the Mayor takes the credit for his idea, but Doc Greene lets him start up the machine. The square is soon blanketed in snow and the [[human]]s start playing. Boulder is disappointed that the [[Rescue Bot]]s don't get to enjoy the snow as well, since they have to keep up the pretense of being ordinary robots, but their human partners lead them to a back alley where Cody had Doc Greene test the machine earlier. While [[Graham Burns|Graham]] keeps watch, the Rescue Bots get to have their play in the snow, though Boulder turns out to be a terrible aim with a snowball which amuses Heatwave greatly. One of Boulder's snowballs strikes a tree in the square, knocking down a branch that breaks the weather machine, sending it out of control.

[[Image:ChristmasInJuly Heatwave helps a driver.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
With Winter temperatures all over Griffin Rock, Doc Greene quickly discovers that the machine's control panel is broken and has to take it back to his lab. With the roads snowed in, the residents take shelter in city hall and Cody joins them to coordinate the rescue effort. The team splits up and starts lending help where necessary. Cody checks with Frankie, who's enjoying the frozen-over river. As Blades and [[Dani Burns|Dani]] help free cars from a frozen bridge, Heatwave prevents an out-of-control car from ploughing into them. Meanwhile Boulder and Graham help Doc Greene reach his lab and clear the snowdrift in front of it so he can get in.

[[Image:ChristmasInJuly Frankie in danger.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Back at city hall, a new problem rears its head—the roof is in danger of caving in under the weight of all the snow. The Mayor attempts to get out, only to find that the door is blocked with a snowdrift, and Cody calls an emergency. Boulder arrives first and clears the door, letting everyone out. They next use Cody's idea to save the building—Boulder props up the roof while Dani flies Blades upside-down to clear the snow. With the building safe for now, Cody checks with Doc Greene, who completes repairs on the weather machine and uses it to reverse the weather. Summer returns to Griffin Rock.

Cody contacts Frankie, only to find that the ice on the lake has broken up, and Frankie is now trapped on a piece which is heading downriver towards a waterfall. Blades is still too frozen like a jellyfish with no sting to fly, but the rest of the team head to the river. Boulder uses a snowball to knock a tree branch down, which Frankie grabs onto. With everything safe again, Cody looks around for Chase, but the Rescue Bot is some distance away, laughing and making snow angels.

Back in the fire station, Boulder finally understands seasons, and Cody reveals some snowballs he kept in the freezer, which he and Boulder use to pelt Heatwave.

'''The Bots are enlisted to watch after Doc Greene's Robo-Baby.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:FourBotsBaby Robo-Baby introduction.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Transmetal]] Tamagotchi]]
The [[Rescue Bot]]s are in the middle of repairing a bridge outside town, when an impatient motorist attempts to jump his motorcycle across the gap. [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] attempt to rescue him, but Kade falls loose from Heatwave's ladder. The two [[human]]s head for a nearby waterfall, and all seems lost until Heatwave throws his fire hose, and Kade grabs it, saving them both.

Sometime later, [[Doc Greene]] shows video of the incident to [[Cody Burns]] in way of explanation for the [[Turbo Cycle (RB)|Turbo Cycle]] he's built. Cody offers to be a test driver, but the doc already has someone for that. Cody believes himself to be more responsible than Kade, but Greene reminds him of the incident with the fusion-powered water gun. [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] has an idea, and believes Cody can prove he's mature by taking care of one of the doctor's other inventions—the [[Robo-Baby]], designed to record how babies see the world. Cody is unsure, and even less so when it turns out the Robo-Baby is even capable of soiling itself.

[[Image:FourBotsBaby Boulder heats milk.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Cody takes the Robo-Baby back to the fire station, where he ropes the Rescue Bots into helping him look after the tyke. Heatwave regards it as a [[spark]]less machine, while the other Bots are enamored by it. [[Boulder]] attempts to warm some milk for the baby with a blowtorch, which results in a mess. While they clean the mess up, [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] finds a baby bottle which quiets the Robo-Baby down, though it spews on [[Blades (RB)|Blades]]. After it starts crying, Chase finds a [[Rubber Ducky]]. The baby doesn't like the toy, and throws it into the air. The Rubber Ducky lands in a nearby sink and is sucked down a drain, eventually entering the pipe system where it clogs a pipe. The sewer soon bursts.

[[Image:FourBotsBaby soiled duck.jpg|thumb|left|250px|So... [[Rubber Ducky|you]] were behind this...]]
Still trying to calm the Robo-Baby, Chase attempts to sing a lullaby, but his loud, flat singing doesn't help. Cody refuses to consult his siblings, but then they discover that Blades's rotors work like a mobile and the baby is soon snoozing. Unfortunately there's an emergency alarm-the broken sewer has caused a sinkhole to appear in front of the bank. While the Rescue Bots roll out, Cody takes the baby to the control room so he can monitor the rescue and the baby at the same time. Once at the bank, [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and Blades rescue a stranded bank customer, Heatwave and Chase set about propping the building up, and Boulder and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] venture into the hole to check out the burst pipe. As they need to shut down the water, Cody switches the power from the hydro-electric plant to the wind farm. The sight of the wind farm turbines wakes the Robo-Baby, but the bank is saved, and Graham fishes the Rubber Ducky from the pipe. Cody looks around, and discovers that the Robo-Baby is gone.

[[Image:FourBotsBaby Blades tries to rescue Robo-Baby.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
The Rescue Bots return to the fire station to find Cody searching for the baby. Frankie gives Cody a call from the ferry to check how he's doing, and tells him that the Rob-Baby's worth three million dollars. The now-desperate search comes up blank, but Cody spots the wind farm rotors on the monitor, and they head there under the assumption that's where the Robo-Baby is. Heatwave uses his olfactory [[sensors]] to detect the baby, and they find it heading up one of the windmills on a platform. With Blades unable to move close enough to pick the baby up, Chase uses his singing to keep it away from the edge while Boulder scales the windmill. Unfortunately the baby falls before Boulder reaches it, and Heatwave has to grab it out of mid-air.

Doc Greene is fascinated by the readings the Robo-Baby has recorded. Impressed, Greene announces Cody can test the Turbo Cycle. Kade gets to look after the Robo-Baby for the next week.

'''Cody accidentally unleashes a swarm of futuristic nanites while he's trying to super-charge his go-kart to help in the team's rescue missions.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:CodyOnPatrol fishing for Harrison.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Look, Ma, I caught a big one!"]]
[[Cody Burns]] is having breakfast of milk and strawberry and kiwi cereal when he spots [[Harrison (RB)|Mr Harrison]] having trouble with his heli-pack again. [[Dani Burns|Dani]] requests the help of the rest of the team, and they set about trying to rescue Harrison. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] fails to wash Harrison out of the air, Boulder misses catching him in his scoop, Chase narrowly misses catching him, but then a mysterious masked rider in a go-kart drives past in pursuit. The newcomer uses a fishing line to hook Harrison, who takes a plunge into the sea. As Harrison clambers out of the sea, the stranger unmasks himself as Cody to the surprise of the rest of his family. The go-kart, it turns out, is one [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] built when he was Cody's age.

Back at the fire station, the [[Rescue Bot]]s inspect Cody's go-kart as he works on it. Later, while [[Boulder]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] deal with junk at the junkyard by feeding it to the [[Scrapmaster]], Cody hunts through the trash for useful parts for his go-kart, and comes up with a seat and steering wheel.

[[Image:CodyOnPatrol Boulder stops dogs.jpg|thumb|right|250px|]]
Finally, the changes are finished, and Cody unveils [[Rolling Thunder]]. The others are impressed, and when Chief Burns gets a call from [[Neederlander|Mrs Neederlander]], he sends Cody along in his go-kart to help. Unfortunately Rolling Thunder is very slow, and by the time Cody gets there, Mrs Neederlander has rescued [[Mister Pettypaws|her cat]] herself. Cody reports back to his dad, but there are no more assignments for him. Discouraged, he spots [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] walking her dogs [[Edison]] and [[Aristotle]], but when he tries to talk to her, his backfiring engine startles her dogs which run off. Cody tries to chase them, but is again too slow, and Boulder steps in to stop the dogs running into traffic. Cody is upset that Frankie referred to Rolling Thunder as a toy car, and though Boulder tries some words of encouragement, Cody decides what he really needs is a bigger engine.

[[Image:CodyOnPatrol powering up.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Sure, let's use one of my dad's experimental super-fuels in your go-kart. What could possibly go wrong?"]]
Unfortunately Chief Burns turns down Cody's request to use his credit card to buy a larger engine and tells him someday he'll be able to drive something more powerful. Undaunted, Cody visits [[Doc Greene]]'s lab where Frankie shows him the cupboard full of super fuel additives. Cody selects some [[nanite]] fuel and dumps the contents of the container into Rolling Thunder's fuel tank. Moments later he's roaring off, fire belching from the exhaust, and Frankie's alerting the emergency services. When Cody discovers Rolling Thunder's brakes don't work, he rings his father who suggests he heads for the junkyard and uses the piles of garbage to slow down.

[[Image:CodyOnPatrol Boulder steps on car.jpg|thumb|right|250px|This is [[Griffin Rock]]; if the owner doesn't have giant robot insurance, he's a fool!]]
Cody successfully stops his ride, but the nanites emerge from the gas tank and enter the Scrapmaster. The trash device immediately goes out of control and starts eating random objects before starting to chase Cody. Just as he's cornered by the scrapmaster, [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] and Dani arrive in time to distract it by throwing a car at it. The others soon arrive and Cody tells them about the nanites. Heatwave's attempt to stop the Scrapmaster by throwing a gas tank at it fails. Boulder comes up with another idea, and while the others distract the Scrapmaster, he pulls the device's tank off. That's when the nanites leave the gas tank and enter Boulder. Out of control, Boulder rampages down the road, but manages to avoid doing much damage, though he crushes a parked car and as he enters the park, starts knocking down trees, much to his distress. Cody has an idea to take the nanites to the [[Griffin Rock power plant|power plant]] and lure them into the generators. Boulder manages to get to the power plant, and though things look hairy for a minute or so, the generators prove too much power for the nanites, which are overwhelmed.

Cody helps Boulder replant the trees in the park, while Chief Burns does laps around the park in Rolling Thunder. In Doc Greene's lab, Frankie finds the nanites are mysteriously not listed on the lab's inventory.

'''Boulder decides that the team needs an animal mascot but maybe a zoo isn't the best place to find one.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:WalkOnTheWildSide Rescue Bots clean station.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Where ''do'' they get Bot-sized brooms, anyway?]]
The Burns family watch [[television]] as [[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] unveils the [[Mayor Luskey Library]], a building made of wholly recycled materials. They're interrupted by a call from [[Neederlander|Mrs. Neederlander]] alerting them to a dire emergency. The [[Rescue Bot]]s roll out with all haste and haul up to her house, only to find the emergency is that [[Mister Pettypaws]] is up a tree again and so is she. As she complains about their tardiness, the branch she's on gives way, and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] has to make a quick and unappreciated save. [[Boulder]] retrieves her cat from the tree.

Back at the fire station, [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] announces that they're celebrating [[Earth Day]] by cleaning up the building. Heatwave grouses about the waste of time their last rescue was, and [[Cody Burns|Cody]] explains about pets. He calls up pictures of [[:Category:Dogs|dogs]] acting as assistants to emergency personnel, and Boulder's interest is piqued. Moments later, [[Doc Greene]] and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] arrive to take Cody to the Earth Day exhibit at the [[Griffin Rock Zoo|zoo]].

Cody and Frankie arrive at the zoo, and Cody starts taking pictures to send to Boulder, though Frankie is impatient to see the lemurs. The lemurs are all trained to sort recyclable material into bins, and thus are part of the Earth Day exhibit.

[[Image:WalkOnTheWildSide a lion up a tree.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Cat up a tree? You might say that.]]
That night, [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] catches Boulder sneaking out. Boulder intends to adopt an animal from the zoo. Using his access to get in, Boulder decides on the zoo's cross-eyed lion, whom he dubs "[[Whiskers]]". While Blades turns the main power off, Boulder attempts to extract the lion from its cage, only for it to depart the zoo. As the two Rescue Bots give chase, the lemurs stage a breakout.

Blades and Boulder spot Whiskers going into an alley, but their attempt to corner the lion is interrupted by a garbage man. While they're distracted, the lion makes off, and they are forced to continue their search.

The next morning, the fire station gets another call from Mrs. Neederlander. This time, Chief Burns and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] turn up to find a lion in the tree. With Blades and Boulder mysteriously missing, the other Burnses cram into Heatwave so they can go help. Shortly after they arrive, so do the missing Rescue Bots, and Boulder fills them in on why Whiskers is loose. Whiskers again gives them the slip.

[[Image:WalkOnTheWildSide Frankie vs lion.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Go-Go-Greene forcefield!"]]
Cody soon runs into Whiskers while on his morning cycle to school. While he attempts to evade the lion, his phone is triggered and the nearby Frankie comes to his aid. The lion is unable to touch her, thanks to her [[force field|forcefield bracelet]], and runs off.

The lemurs, busy sorting [[Griffin Rock]]'s trash, sport the new library, but are scattered by the lion. The Rescue Bots also spot the lion, and make an attempt to capture him, but he again manages to evade them.

[[Image:WalkOnTheWildSide lemurs attack library.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Four of us, weaponless, against the whole blasted Lemur army! WHAT CHANCE DO WE HAVE?"]]
Chief Burns is dropping Cody and Frankie off at school when he gets a call from Mayor Luskey alerting him to the fact that the lemurs are destroying the library in their drive to recycle. Their zeal extends to the books inside and the Mayor's toupee. As the front of the building starts to collapse, Chase arrives and knocks it before it can land on Luskey. Cody quickly works out that if they give the lemurs a treat, like they got at the zoo, they'll stop trying to recycle the building. Boulder fetches a scoopful of lemur treats, and once [[Graham Burns|Graham]] attracts their attention with a bell, the lemurs go after the food. Boulder starts reversing through town, with Heatwave and Chase clearing the way. [[Dani Burns|Dani]] soon spots the lion chasing after the lemurs, and Blades swoops in to catch him in a cage. The lemurs are soon returned to their enclosure, and the lion is in a new "Mayor Luskey Enclosure".

Back at the fire station, Cody presents Boulder with a potted cream bloom plant as a pet.

'''Huxley Prescott causes panic when he reports that aliens have invaded Griffin Rock.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:AlienInvasion Chase catches tank.jpg|thumb|left|250px|“And it's saved, by the blue [[Rescue Bot|Bot]] with a badge on his head!”]]
[[Huxley Prescott]] interrupts programming to cover a daring rescue, as [[Boulder]] and [[Graham Burns]] try to prevent a truck of dangerous chemicals from plunging from a cliff. As Boulder strains, the other [[Rescue Bot]]s arrive. Aware they're being recorded, they first rescue the driver, and then pull the truck to safety. Unfortunately the tank pulls loose and falls, but [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] executes a daring last-minute save. For a moment, the Burnses think their cover is blown, but Prescott is distracted by what he believes to be a crop circle, but is actually just a path cut for [[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] and his wife to have their picnic.

Later in the fire house, Chase believe he will be reprimanded, but [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] lets them all know that when lives are at stake, saving them takes priority over maintaining their cover.

[[Image:AlienInvasion Doc Greene and Prescott operate dish.jpg|thumb|right|250px|“I don't know why I'm giving you instructions, because you're just going to ignore me either way.”]]
[[Doc Greene]] unveils the [[SETI]] dish he's built for Prescott, so Prescott can continue to try and find the aliens he believes are hidden in [[Griffin Rock]]. Greene instructs Prescott on the proper use of the dish and stresses the danger of overload.

[[Cody Burns|Cody]] and the Rescue Bots sit down to watch a movie, and Cody selects ''[[The Natives of Tatui]]'', a movie about explorers living on an island. Audio from the film is intercepted by Prescott, who excitedly cranks the dish up to maximum, believing he has heard a transmission from aliens. He's soon making an emergency broadcast to announce his discovery to Griffin Rock. The Burns family assembles in time for the phone to ring, as Mr [[Bufkin]] believes aliens have abducted his cows.

[[Image:AlienInvasion Luskey stops Chase.jpg|thumb|left|250px|“[[Home Is Where the Spark Is|This time]], [[Angry Archer|I'm]] stopping [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|you]] in the road!”]]
Boulder and Graham are called to [[Perkins (RB)|Mr Perkins]]'s farm to check out reports of aliens in his wheatfields, to instead find cows. [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] head to the town square where a UFO is supposedly taking off, to find [[Milo]] in a balloon going alien hunting. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and [[Kade Burns|Kade]] rescue [[Neederlander|Mrs Neederlander]]'s cat from a tree and assure her he wasn't abducted by aliens. At that point, the power goes out all over Griffin Rock and air raid sirens sound. Chief Burns is approached by the panicking Mayor. Burns contacts base and tells everyone to get to the [[Griffin Rock power plant|power plant]], but is cut off as communications black out. Prescott makes another news flash warning everyone to get off the island. Predictably mass panic sets in as the island's population tries to evacuate, and a ferry is endangered as it's overloaded, forcing Dani and Blades to tow it to safety.

[[Image:AlienInvasion Rescue Bots push dish.jpg|thumb|right|250px|“On three – agh, just push!!”]]
The team reaches the power station and venture inside to find Cody, who has come to help. The Rescue Bots, left outside, are on-edge. Graham finds Prescott's SETI dish is responsible for the power drain which will eventually cause a massive explosion. Unfortunately the power drain traps the humans in the power plant, so the Rescue Bots must go driverless to deal with the dish.

Doc Greene, having figured out what the problem is, arrives at the dish first but is unable to shut it down. [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] is surprised to see the Rescue Bots driving on their own, and as the bots deal with the dish, Prescott films them. The Burns family arrives to provide cover for the Rescue Bots, and Cody tells Prescott that the transmission he received was from ''The Natives of Tatui''. As they leave, Doc Greene points out that Prescott's been transmitting everything. Prescott manages to dig himself deeper by subsequently mistaking Mr Buffkin's cows for aliens.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===

===Continuity errors===
*The time on Prescott's digital watch seems to be permanently stuck at 12:53.

===Continuity notes===
*The parade footage Prescott interrupts is from last episode's [[Lobster and Technology Festival]]. Milo's balloon is one of the parade balloons from the festival, though it's unclear whether it's still filled with [[floatium]].

===Real-world references===
*Crop circles are a real-world phenomenon caused by either aliens or hoaxers, depending on who you ask.
*Both the Rescue Bots and the residents of Griffin Rock appear to be movie buffs, as several real-life movies are referenced in this episode:
**Huxley's line "Be afraid, be very afraid" is the tagline for the 1986 movie ''[[Fly|The Fly]]''.
**The aliens in Mr Perkins' cornfield are likely a reference to ''Signs''.
**Mrs. Prewett fears her husband Edgar is a giant cockroach, a rather specific reference to the villain of ''Men in Black''.
**Chief Burns's encounter with the Mayor after the lights go out is from the 1978 version of ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers''.
**The cute alien who wants to call home is a reference to ''E.T''.
**The face-hugging aliens are, of course, from ''Alien''.
**The amorphous alien who eats cars may be a reference to ''The Blob''.
**The invisible alien that cannot see you if you are covered in mud is a reference to the movie ''[[Predator (alien)|Predator]]''.
*The episode's entire premise seems to reference the public reaction to the [[Wikipedia:The War of the Worlds (radio drama)|1938 radio adaptation]] of H.G. Wells' ''[[The War of the Worlds]]'' (directed and narrated by [[Orson Welles]]), in which many people mistook the radio drama as an actual news broadcast and created mass panic.

'''Chase, Blades and Boulder must battle a swarm of flying lobsters.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Doc Greene takes flight.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"I'm my own worst enemyyyy!"]]
[[Cody Burns]] and [[Frankie Greene]] are attending the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]]. While Cody prefers the lobster dinner, Frankie is looking forward to the technology parade, in which she'll get to ride on her dad's float. Discussing which is better, they find [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] and [[Doc Greene]] inflating a helium lobster balloon. Frankie scoffs at the fact that the [[Rescue Bot]]s are taking part on the parade too, but at that moment a strong gust of wind causes the balloon's cable tubes to snap. One catches Doc Greene's leg, and as the balloon drifts away, he's taken with it. The others give chase, collecting [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] along the way, but even the [[Autobot]] is unable to save Doc Greene from being whisked away.

Back at the fire station, the other Rescue Bots and the rest of the Burns family get the alert and roll out. Doc Greene manages to catch on to a building and, following Chief Burns's suggestion, unties the rope from his ankle, freeing himself from the balloon. While [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] rescue the Doc from the building, [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] and [[Dani Burns|Dani]] hook the balloon and bring it back down to earth. As the Doc thanks Kade, Heatwave makes a throat-clearing noise, and Chief Burns asks Cody to remind the bots that they're supposed to be pretending to be robots.

[[Image:FlobstersOnParade robots on parade.jpg|thumb|right|250px|They see us rollin', they hatin'.]]
As Cody instructs the Rescue Bots again, he notices Heatwave is missing. [[Boulder]] is also distracted by a bird out the window, so Cody holds an impromptu game of "Simon Says" to help them get acting like robots. Heatwave picks that moment to appear, announcing he's not going to be in the parade because he hates acting like a robot and being climbed all over by kids. Thus when the rest of the Burns family arrives to leave for the parade, Heatwave fakes an engine problem. Kade's just happy not to have to deal with Heatwave, so the others head out without him. They arrive at the parade, where Doc Greene is filling balloons with his latest invention, [[floatium]], which is a more controllable version of helium. The parade soon starts, with the Rescue Bots marching along behind the floats, though Boulder has to be shushed by Chase. Back at base, Heatwave watches the parade on TV and is irritated by the [[Huxley Prescott|reporter's]] comments on his paint color and the fact that people and kids don't miss him.

[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Doc Greene and Chief check tank.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Actually, Doc, the spray-on pants sound like a much better idea."]]
Back at the fairgrounds, a hungry fair-goer accidentally knocks the tank of floatium into the lobster tank and the lobsters inside immediately begin floating out of the tank. After the Rescue Bots return to the square, Coby points out the [[flobster]]s now filling the sky. While the Bots continue to pretend to be robots, despite a flobster having a close encounter with Blades's face, the humans investigate. Doc Greene quickly calculates it will take two days for the effects of the floatium to wear off, and heads back to the lab to work on a solution. Unfortunately the flobsters quickly turn hostile to the humans present. Coby formulates a plan, and Dani and Blades scoop up a bunch of the flobsters in a cage, before dropping the whole cage back into the lobster tank.

[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Chase holds up lobster.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Alright, everybody; Y-M-C-A!"]]
Cody takes control of the [[ComTab]], and the Rescue Bots and their partners are soon responding to flobster-related emergency calls all over [[Griffin Rock]]. Boulder and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] help [[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] after a flobster severs a nearby power cable tube. Kade calls the station and attempts to be polite in talking to Heatwave. More flobsters trap Frankie in a phone booth, attracted to the starfish on the back of her jacket. She calls Cody for help, but luckily Heatwave is nearby and gets rid of the flobsters with his hose. As the others celebrate Frankie's rescue, Dani calls them back to the town square, where Doc Greene shows off the destabilizing compound he's created to remove the floatium from the water and flobsters. They can spray the compound directly on the flobsters, but there's only one batch and the flobsters are everywhere. Cody has the idea of using the giant lobster balloons to scare the flobsters and herd them back to the town square where Heatwave can spray them, ending the flobster menace.

The people of Griffin Rock enjoy their lobster lunches, while Blades finally gets the flobster joke, and Heatwave has kids climb all over him.

:—'''Charlie Burns''' on seeing the flobsters.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===

===Continuity errors===
* The common form of helium isn't radioactive and thus ''does not have a half life''. Also, to make a helium balloon neutrally buoyant, all you need to do is add an appropriate amount of weight or use a appropriate helium/air mix rather than pure helium, there's no need to invent a new gas.
* One should probably also not ask how floatium gives lobsters the ability to cut through tree branches and power cables with their claws.

===Real-world references===
* Doc Greene's tenuous grip on the courthouse roof before being rescued bears a suspicious resemblance to the same in the movie ''Back to the Future''.

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Hotshots Chase stops car.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Something like this was probably a sport back on Cybertron.]]
[[Doc Greene]] races through the streets of [[Griffin Rock]] in his out-of-control experimental [[solar car]], pursued by [[Charlie Burns]] and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]]. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] uses his ladder as a ramp so the Doc doesn't crash into some parked cars, and [[Boulder]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] attempt to stop the car with an improvised spike strip. Unfortunately the car has a tire replacement system so the spike strip is ineffective, and the car starts heading up [[Old Canyon Road]] towards a busted bridge. Chase finally manages to catch up and, [[transformation|transforming]], grabs the rear of the car and brings it to a halt, and concludes to some buffing being needed. Doc Greene announces that apart from the control problems, the experiment was a success.

In the aftermath of the rescue, [[Kade Burns|Kade]], Graham and Dani are interviewed by reporter [[Huxley Prescott]], but Dani is annoyed that she didn't get to contribute during the operation. Elsewhere the [[Rescue Bot]]s are cleaning themselves, and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] feels equally underutilized. Heatwave grouses that all of them are under-appreciated for their work and the humans get all the credit.

[[Image:Hotshots Dani attaches claw.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Oh, come on, Pepper. This isn't the worst thing you've caught me doing."]]
Dani pays a visit to Doc Greene, who is working on a new newspaper dispenser to replace the one he accidentally ran over (the replacement is slightly out of control). She asks about a scoop claw for Blades, and the Doc turns out to have an old one, once used for logging, in storage. Dani is soon installing it on a less-than-enthusiastic Blades. The other Rescue Bots are unable to hide their amusement at the affect the claw has on his robot mode, but the discussion is cut short by the report of a rock slide. The Rescue Bots roll out and start smashing boulders, but when [[Cody Burns|Cody]] spots a huge boulder, the three ground-based bots prepare for the impact—only for Blades to grab it in his scoop claw.

[[Image:Hotshots Blades catches car.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Weight-lifting for Autobots.]]
Blades is noticeably preening when they return to base. During the next few rescues, Blades and Dani use the scoop claw to solve each problem, leaving the other Rescue Bots with nothing to do. Kade and Graham complain to Dani, and when Cody tries to intercede, he's told the problem doesn't concern him. He goes down to the bunker instead, where Heatwave is preparing to remove the scoop claw from Blades, and is told much the same thing by the Rescue Bots. Dani arrives to take Blades out on patrol, and Cody, though annoyed by the others' dismissal of him, opts to go along to see what he can do to mitigate the problem.

[[Image:Hotshots Blades Dani Cody in trouble.jpg|thumb|right|250px|I fell in to a burnin' ring of fire...]]
Cody and Blades talk to Dani, and she realizes she's been too hard on them. As a lightning storm moves in, Dani opts to go back to base, but too late, as Blades is hit by lightning. Dani sends a distress transmission as Blades makes an emergency landing at the bottom of a cliff. The trio prepare to wait for help, but more lightning starts a forest fire which threatens to broil the two humans sheltering in Blades like snickerdoodles. They use Blades's scoop claw to scale the cliff, though the chain gives out just as they reach the top and it turns out they're still trapped with the fire swiftly moving in. Blades attempt to fly them out is cut short by his damaged tail. Luckily the other three Rescue Bots arrive and Heatwave douses a way through the fire to Blades so they can carry the injured [[Autobot]] back down the hill.

In a subsequent interview, Dani gives some credit to Cody and the Rescue Bots. Blades, having spent some time in the [[stasis pod]], returns to announce they salvaged the scoop claw, but will use it less liberally from now on. Cody heads out to play basketball with his siblings.

'''A volcano threatens Griffin Rock, sending the Rescue Bots and Burns family into action.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:UnderPressure Boulder breaks pinball.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Big, green, sensitive, and clumsy. Sounds [[Bulkhead (Animated)|familiar]] enough...]]
While [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] pursue an out-of-control [[robo-landscaper]] through [[Griffin Rock]], [[Cody Burns]] reports that the rest of the team might be delayed, as his siblings are having trouble coming to terms with the fact that their rescue vehicles are [[Autobot|alien robots]]. Chase loses their suspect, only for Burns to realize the robo-landscaper is coming up behind them. Chase transforms, somersaults backward over it, and throws it into a dumpster while reading it its rights. That done, the rest of the team finally arrive, with the Burns family complaining that their Autobot teammates are too difficult to work with. [[Kade Burns|Kade]] is especially unimpressed when [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] transforms with him still inside. Cody promises to talk to his siblings.

Unfortunately, Kade, [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] aren't that interested in hearing about the Autobots' problems. Heatwave contacts [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], but Optimus is confident they'll learn to work with the humans. Cody tells the four bots he has a new plan to help them bond with their human partners. He lures his brothers and sister down to the bunker, but things don't go well; [[Boulder]] breaks the pinball machine, and Dani only wants to talk about flying with [[Blades (RB)|Blades]]. Their bonding session comes to an abrupt end when Burns contacts them with the news that the Main and Park sewers and pipelines are overflowing with lava and pressure glue mixed together.

[[Image:UnderPressure Chase saves motorist.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"I shall call her Squishy, and she shall be my Squishy...]]
When one impatient woman drives right into the lava and glue, Chase has to save her from her rapidly melting car. Cody's siblings continue to have trouble working with their partners. Kade even brings his own fire truck, though he inadvertently parks it over a manhole, and after a burst of lava and glue causes it to explode, Heatwave saves him. Cody calls [[Doc Greene]], who is hanging upside-down. Greene reveals that the artificial [[Mount Magma]] is the likely source of the lava and glue, and that the lava and glue will cover the island in just under 5 hours. He recommends releasing the lava slowly to avoid an eruption, but asks Cody about the glue. Cody tells him that has to wait. Once Burns briefs everyone, he asks if the Rescue Bots are willing to help, and, of course, they are.

[[Image:UnderPressure Blades escapes volcano.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Gazuntite!!"]]
Boulder and Graham reach the volcano's crater and work together to locate the controls. Elsewhere, Chase and Chief Burns clear nearby campers. Heatwave and Kade wait impatiently for something to happen, while Dani and Blades move into position over the volcano. After Boulder and Graham leave the crater, Blades uses his winch to operate the main switch, opening the volcano and releasing lava, glue, and ash. However, he's then caught in the ash cloud, and Dani has to cajole him into flying high enough to get out of it. As lava and the pressure glue begins flowing, Heatwave and Kade hit it with streams of water, but the glue's compounds are waterproof but Heatwave manages to get research from Graham. Heatwave has to get a sample of lava and inject it with a mixture called glue toxin, and Heatwave agrees. It looks like the crisis is over, and Cody announces he'll be waiting for everyone in the bunker. It turns out the declared mission accomplished too soon, however, as Dani spots the lava and glue draining into one of the tunnels leading to the bunker.

Back at the bunker, Cody works on fixing the pinball machine, unaware of the incoming lava and glue.

Boulder makes a map of the tunnels with his seismic sensors, locating a shortcut for Heatwave and Kade to take to cut off the lava and glue. Dani spots a glue toxin tower, and Blades valiantly takes off to brave the ash and reach the tower. Heatwave and Kade are brought up short by a cave-in, but after a few moments of Kade trying to clear the rocks by hand, Heatwave simply smashes through in vehicle mode. They reach the intersection in time and start spraying the lava and glue with the toxin, but the glue's compounds wont quit so they double the toxin. As they run out of toxin, Dani and Blades dump the toxin tank, and its contents spill along the tunnel, cooling the lava. Kade and Heatwave return to the bunker, where Kade hugs his little brother.

The next day, Cody drags his siblings down to the bunker, where a huge Autobot [[insignia]] has been added to the wall.

==Quotes==
"Anybody order a drink?" 
"What? No, we're taking this to the lava—oh I get it, Earth humor!"
:—'''Dani''' and '''Blades'''

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
* An awful lot of water comes out of the container that Blades drops on the lava. Also, dumping a single water tank onto a lava flow probably wouldn't fix the issue of built-up pressure in the Earth's core.

===Real-world references===
* The [[1939]] [[World's Fair]] from which Mount Magma is said to originate was a [[Wikipedia:1939 New York World's Fair|real event held in New York]].

===Trivia===
* Rescue Bots have no trouble transforming with humans still inside. Chase transforms with Chief Burns still inside, does acrobatics and throws the robo-landscaper around, and after he returns to vehicle mode, Burns pops out without any apparent ill effects. Heatwave also transforms with Kade still inside.
* Boulder can use his windshield as a display screen.
* This episode title is ''[[wikipedia:Queen (band)|Queen]]'' and [[wikipedia:David Bowie|David Bowie]]'s [[wikipedia:Under Pressure|song title of the same name]].

'''A team of Rescue Bots is assigned by Optimus Prime to work with the Burns family on the island of Griffin Rock.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Cody and Chief Burns.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Come on, son, we know it was you. No-one else even likes [[JaAm]]."]]
Somewhere in space, a drifting Autobot spaceship receives a transmission from [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] directing them to [[Earth]]'s coordinates. The ship automatically changes course and eventually touches down in a military base. The four members of [[Rescue Force Sigma-17]] emerge and are greeted by Optimus himself, who informs them that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] is no longer the [[Autobot]]s' home.

On the island of [[Griffin Rock]], [[Cody Burns]] is biking to school when his [[Charlie Burns|dad]] pulls up alongside in the old police car, which is soon to be replaced with a new car as part of the town's function as a hi-tech testing ground. Cody wants to test drive the new vehicles, but the rest of his family points out they're for grown-ups.

Optimus tells the new arrivals that he has a new mission for them: to live with a [[human]] family and learn more about Earth, but they must do so disguised as normal machines. He gives them rescue vehicles to [[scanning|scan]], though [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] is unenthusiastic when he discovers the [[alternate mode]] he's ended up with flies. Optimus introduces them to Chief Charlie Burns, the only human who knows the [[Rescue Bot]]s' true nature.

[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Chief Burns introduces Rescue Bots.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"And [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]] thought [[Human|they]] wouldn't be comfortable with us [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|why]]?]]
That afternoon, Cody arrives at the dedication, where he meets [[Frankie Greene]] and her father, [[Doc Greene]], in the audience, though Frankie's more interested in the new exhibit of robot dinosaurs at the [[Griffin Rock Natural History Museum|museum]]. Chief Burns introduces the gathered crowd to the Rescue Bots, describing them as new hi-tech robots which will work with him and his family as a rescue response unit. When a butterfly lands on [[Boulder]]'s face, the Autobot instinctively goes to shoo it away, but is stopped by [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]. However, Cody's suspicions are already raised. When Cody jumps up and knocks on Boulder's foot, he's told to get lost by [[Huxley Prescott|a reporter]]. The press photos are interrupted when word comes in of a fire at the Natural History Museum.

[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Heatwave catches head.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] wasn't happy about being left out of [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|the new game]].]]
Burns and his rescue squad head to the museum, although [[Dani Burns|Dani]] discovers her helicopter doesn't seem to like flying too high. [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] begins clearing the humans from the area, though is confused when a couple of Egyptian mummies fail to comply. [[Graham Burns|Graham]] is bemused when he tells Boulder to move some planters and the Autobot responds that it would ruin the aesthetics. They manage to get the fire out, and Graham locates the cause: a short in one of the robotic dinosaurs' cable tubes. While he's fixing it, Cody sneaks into the museum, having followed the team on his bike. He's therefore present to witness Heatwave saving Chief Burns and Graham from a falling dinosaur head. Burns explains it as Heatwave having been left in rescue mode, and [[Kade Burns|Kade]] is glad to take the credit. As they leave the museum, the eyes on a short-circuiting [[Trex|animatronic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'']] light up ominously!

That night, back in the fire station, the Rescue Bots take a lift down to a [[Cold War (history)|Cold War]] bunker underneath the station. Upstairs, Cody excuses himself from dinner with his family and heads downstairs, where he catches the Rescue Bots complaining about their new gig. Heatwave has just decided they're going to leave when Cody speaks up. The Rescue Bots realize their cover is blown, but after introductions are made, Cody shows them that there are many tunnels leading around the island from the bunker. They check out a giant robot movie at a drive in, and Cody attempts to teach the Rescue Bots how to act like "real" robots as well as give them tips on dealing with his siblings. Lessons are brought to a halt when they spot the robotic ''T. rex'' from the museum, now rampaging along the street. As it moves into the drive-in, Cody gets Chase to start his lights, and they establish the thing is attracted to light. They begin leading the creature to a safe area while Cody contacts his dad.

[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes T-rex chases Chase.jpg|thumb|right|250px|At least, unlike [[Blast from the Past|last time]], [[Grimlock (Animated)|it]] can't breathe fire]]
Burns takes the rest of his family in the old squad car, and they soon catch up with the Rescue Bots as the chase moves outside town. While they try to work out how to deal with the rogue dinosaur, Cody calls Frankie. Soon Boulder is extracting a jail cell from the police station, which Dani and Blades fly to the scene. Meanwhile, Chase keeps the ''T. rex'' occupied, and Kade and Heatwave wet some ground to make mud. Kade is shocked when Heatwave transforms, attracts the dinosaur's attention, and then throws it into the mud. Dani lowers the makeshift cage over it, allowing Cody to shut the dinosaur down.

The next day, they return the dinosaur to the museum, and Burns decides to get a picture of "his heroes" outside. After Heatwave tells Kade that Cody's part of the team or the Rescue Bots leave, Chief Burns reveals that they're not just robots, they're aliens.
