&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{factions|autobot|rescuebot}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{disambigm|Heatwave (disambiguation)|Thunder (disambiguation)}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Heatwave the Fire-Bot is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:HeatwaveTheFireBot_poster.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Note: Toy may look nothing like TV show character.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The team leader of the [[Rescue Bot]]s, &#039;&#039;&#039;Heatwave&#039;&#039;&#039; was given his position because of how deeply he cares for his team and their mission. However, he is a bot of action at heart who dreams of one day joining [[Team Prime]], and sometimes has little patience for anything he sees as getting in the way of his mission, including staying in disguise as non-sentient vehicles and working with [[human]] partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When he goes into action, though, no blaze is too strong for his armor. With built-in water cannons, a rescue hook, and a fireman&#039;s axe, he&#039;s well prepared to take on the most stubborn fires and most intense rescue missions. He partners with the other Rescue Bots and with their newest human teammates, [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Cody Burns]], though he and Kade are frequently at odds as their egos clash.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:PrimeAlert Heatwave rolls out.jpg|thumb|left|260px|]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was the leader of the Rescue Bot team on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. They received a message from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] to join him on [[Earth]], and immediately hopped in their spaceship. On arrival on the new planet, Optimus gave him a new alternate mode, a fire truck, and they headed for [[Griffin Rock]]. [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] accidentally chopped down a tree with his rotors, requiring some quick work by the rest of the team to prevent more damage. They finally reached their destination, where Optimus introduced them to [[Charlie Burns|Chief Charlie]]. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Roll Out}} Heatwave&#039;s first mission was to go to the [[Fire Safety Training Center]] for training, and there he rescued a cat and extinguished a fire. He soon after received an emergency alert from [[Fire Station Prime|Prime Fire Station]], and rushed back across town to find the station on fire. After rescuing Chief Charlie and [[Cody Burns]], he and Cody became partners, and were assigned the important task of giving [[Sparkplug (RB)|Sparkplug]] a bath. {{storylink|Prime Alert}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the team at the station were joined by Blades, the two Rescue Bots and Cody headed out to another emergency, however Blades&#039;s radio was damaged, making it difficult for Heatwave to give him orders. While Heatwave battled the forest fire, Blades accidentally fanned the fire with his rotors until Heatwave and Cody were able to shoo him away. Blades discovered where his partner and the other endangered humans were, and led Heatwave to them. Heatwave and Cody were able to finish putting out the fire, and returned to Prime Fire Station covered in soot. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Respond}} [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Boulder]] later arrived at the station to complete the team, and Heatwave and Blades were there to welcome them. {{storylink|Rapid Rescue}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:UnfinishedBusiness protoHeatwave.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rock Em&#039; Sock Em&#039; Rescue Bot.]]&lt;br /&gt;
On Cybertron, Heatwave was a three time [[Cybertronian sport#Lobbing|Lobbing]] champion. {{storylink|Road Trip}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave and his team were finishing a routine patrol in space when they received a distress call. Investigating, they found they&#039;d been marked as lunch by an [[Energon eater]], and had to put themselves in stasis and power down their ship to escape it. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} Sometime later, the &#039;&#039;[[Sigma]]&#039;&#039; received a transmission from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and landed on [[Earth]]. After dropping the bombshell that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was no more, Optimus appointed Heatwave team leader and assigned them to [[Griffin Rock]] to work with the Burns family. The four Rescue Bots were presented to the public by [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] at a ceremony, following which Heatwave and his new partner, [[Kade Burns]], drove to the [[Griffin Rock natural history museum|museum]] to attend to a fire. Heatwave was disgruntled when Kade took the credit for his saving Chief Burns and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] from a falling dinosaur statue head. That night, [[Cody Burns]] discovered the Rescue Bots&#039; secret, and after they helped stop a rogue robot &#039;&#039;Tyrannosaurus rex&#039;&#039;, Chief Burns revealed the truth to the rest of the team. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Heatwave roll to the rescue.jpg|thumb|left|350px|My head looks nothing like my toy, that&#039;s how much of a rebel I am!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave and Kade continued having trouble working together, with Kade even preferring to drive a non-transforming firetruck. After [[Mount Magma]] started spewing lava and threatening the island, the pair were forced to work together, driving through a tunnel under the island to stop the lava from reaching the bunker under the fire station. {{storylink|Under Pressure}} Following the rescue of [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]], Heatwave felt under-appreciated by the humans. He was amused when [[Dani Burns|Dani]] fitted a scoop claw to [[Blades (RB)|Blades]], but less so when the pair started upstaging the other Rescue Bots at rescues, and even threatened to forcibly remove the device from his comrade. Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots came to Blades&#039;s rescue when he was struck by lightning and unable to fly, after which Dani sent some appreciation their way and Blades promised not to use the claw as much. {{storylink|Hotshots}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Heatwave with children.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Urge to kill...rising...]]&lt;br /&gt;
After another rescue of Doc Greene, Heatwave was still disgruntled and refused to take part in the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]], instead staying back at the fire station to watch it on TV. When the town was attacked by [[flobster]]s, he ventured out to help the other Rescue Bots fight the flying critters, resulting in him later having to endure being climbed on by children. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}} Following the rescue of a truck of hazardous materials, Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were subjected to a screening of &#039;&#039;[[The Natives of Tatooie]]&#039;&#039;, which accidentally resulted in [[Huxley Prescott]] causing a mass panic by reporting an alien invasion. The Rescue Bots had to destroy Prescott&#039;s [[SETI]] dish to save the island. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave&#039;s attempt to stop [[Harrison (RB)|Mr. Harrison]]&#039;s heli-pack ride with water only resulted in an umbrella shop being flooded. When [[Boulder]] was taken over by nanites, Heatwave threatened to physically intervene, though Blades suspected Boulder would come out on top in that match-up. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Called out about a cat in a tree, Heatwave saved [[Neederlander|Mrs. Neederlander]] when she fell out of a tree, and was rewarded with a slap in the face. The next day, he helped hunt a [[Whiskers|lion]] and return a bunch of lemurs to the [[Griffin Rock Zoo|zoo]]. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}} When a rescue went wrong, Heatwave managed to fish Kade and [[Don|another human]] out of a river using his fire hose. Cody roped the Rescue Bots, including &amp;quot;Uncle Heatwave&amp;quot;, into helping him look after a [[Robo-Baby]]. The Robo-Baby seemed to like Heatwave best of all. After the baby went missing during a call-out, the bots had to rescue it from a wind farm. Heatwave caught it in mid-air after it fell from a windmill. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DeepTrouble Heatwave jumps shark.jpg|thumb|left|290px|&amp;quot;Just keep swimming...just keep swimming...&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
During a heatwave, Heatwave did not appreciate being used as a sprinkler. When a weather machine went out of control, he and the other Rescue Bots had to spring into action attending snow-related emergencies around town. {{storylink|Christmas in July}} Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were invited on the Burns&#039; annual fishing trip on the &#039;&#039;[[Darby Ava]]&#039;&#039;. Heatwave didn&#039;t really get the whole fishing thing until they encountered a [[shark submarine|mechanical shark]] and he got to wrestle it. He, [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and Boulder eventually managed to disable the sub, though it self-destructed soon after. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RB)|Deep Trouble}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Rescue Bots had to help stop out-of-control technology one foggy day, when the Griffin Rock mainframe was hacked into. Heatwave had to rescue the mayor from the town hall when a garbage truck trapped him inside. {{storylink|Return of the Dino Bot}} When [[Doctor Morocco]] turned up with his [[MorBot]] and threatened to overshadow the Rescue Bots, the team was forced to compete with the doctor&#039;s invention to prove themselves worthy. Thanks to Morocco&#039;s machinations, they failed and were stood down from service. Heatwave was particularly angry at the loss. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} Accepting defeat, he attempted to make contact with Optimus Prime to get reassigned and considered getting their ship working again. After being called out to a fire at the lab, the Rescue Bots got the chance to exact some payback on the MorBot. The team was subsequently reinstated as Griffin Rock&#039;s rescue service. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SmallBlessings Kade rescues Hayley.jpg|thumb|right|260px|Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.]]&lt;br /&gt;
After helping Kade rescue [[Hayley]], a girl Kade was interested in, Heatwave was annoyed by Kade blowing him off to go on a date. When he and the rest of the team turned up to a break-in at the [[Hall of Inspiration]], Heatwave was forced to protect Kade and as a result was shrunk to the size of an ant by the [[Minimizer]]. He was joined by the similarly shrunken Boulder and Blades, and the trio ended up in the sewer. After braving huge rats and a torrent of water, they made it to the [[Griffin Rock dam]], where they rescued Kade and alerted the rest of the team to the fact that the dam was near bursting. Cody later used the Minimizer to return them to their normal sizes. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} Heatwave helped save [[Wild (RB)|Captain Wild]]&#039;s ship and found &amp;quot;tunnel 15&amp;quot; in the tunnels below Griffin Rock. This led the team to discover [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Midgard]]&#039;&#039; at the bottom of an ocean trench, and they helped her seal the methane vent causing the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]]. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the daring rescue of Huxley Prescott by the four bots, Chief left them with Kade in charge, however when they got an apparent SOS from Cody and Kade was unable to be contacted, Heatwave made the decision to disobey the Chief&#039;s orders and venture into [[Griffin Crest]]. He, Blades and Boulder were subsequently caught by the [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] field there and immobilized on top of [[Old Parker]], necessitating a rescue by Chase and the human half of the team. He was forced to concede that sticking to the rules sometimes worked. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}} Heatwave and the other three Bots were washed out to sea with Cody and ended up on an inhabited island. Their attempts to build him shelter and gather food were less than successful, but they did manage to find traces of the &#039;&#039;[[Oaken Crow]]&#039;&#039;, which led to them finding the ship and getting off the island. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:YouveBeenSquilshed Heatwave wields telephone pole.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Heatwave doesn&#039;t just throw javelins, he throws &#039;&#039;electrified&#039;&#039; javelins!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Chasing a crashed meteorite on [[Wayward Island]], the team ran into [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. Heatwave, Boulder and Chase checked out the meteorite and were unwittingly exposed to an alien virus. They slowly lost the ability to move or speak, and it was only through the work of Bumblebee, Blades and the humans that a cure was found. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}} Heatwave and the team were called out to deal with a giant rampaging blob of space slime. He was particularly incensed when it ate Chase, and though his water didn&#039;t help stop the blob, he found zapping it with electricity did, and the discovery ultimately led to the [[Squilsh]]&#039;s defeat. {{storylink|You&#039;ve Been Squilshed}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After most of the town disappeared, Heatwave and the other Bots found themselves fighting small mechanical bugs. He took Cody, [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] and Kade to the lab so they could check the information on the computer there, but after all three of them vanished as well, it was up to Heatwave and his team to work out where the humans had been teleported to. After locating the cavern in question, they were able to rescue the townsfolk. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}} When Griffin Rock was infested by what appeared to be ghosts, Heatwave was mostly just frustrated that he couldn&#039;t hit them. When they turned out to just be holograms, he took great delight in catching the perpetrators by hosing them down to work out which were the real humans. {{storylink|The Haunting of Griffin Rock}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ShakeUp Heatwave protects Frankie.jpg|thumb|right|280px|If he slips and falls, Heatwave&#039;d have a &#039;&#039;looot&#039;&#039; of explaining to do about the red stain on his windscreen.]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Kade challenged Graham to a race, Heatwave did the driving and ended up demolishing a fire hydrant. After Chase and the Chief went missing, Heatwave and the others searched all night for them, eventually tracking them down to the lead mine where the team had to rescue them. {{storylink|Little White Lies}} Heatwave was annoyed when Kade ordered the Bots to take part in Frankie&#039;s film for school. The Bots soon had problems attending to an earthquake and acting like robots at the same time, but when Frankie followed them into the tunnels under the town, Heatwave had to come rescue her from a cave-in. In the process of doing so, he had to drop his cover, but she was passed out and didn&#039;t notice. {{storylink|Shake Up}} After Heatwave took part in a rescue at a pyrotechnics factory, Cody got a [[repulsor badge]] that gave him superhero powers. The Bots ended up being relegated to cleanup, at least until the badge overloaded and they had to rescue Cody from a bubble of energy. {{storylink|Rescue Boy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was roped into taking part in a photo op with Kade. When the four bots attended the testing of a [[Temporal Station|time machine]], he sheltered Cody and Frankie, and thus when the four Bots were propelled back in time to [[1939]], so were the kids. Heatwave had the rest of his team keep up the pretense of being robots, and they were subjected to a number of tests before Morocco pinned them to a wall and prepared to dissect them. Luckily Optimus and Bumblebee came to their rescue, and the team returned to the present, only to find that Morocco was in control of Griffin Rock. {{storylink|It&#039;s a Bot Time}} They soon established that leaving [[Dither]] in the past was a mistake. After an encounter with an alternate version of the Burns family, the Rescue Bots returned to 1939 and retrieved Dither, returning the timeline to normal. {{storylink|Bot to the Future}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RoadTrip Heatwave vs bear.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Man, those Junior Woodchuck roaring lessons came in real handy!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave soon learned to drive the newly-acquired [[Mobile Headquarters]], using it to stop a speeding driver. An incident with Doc Greene&#039;s [[Vacuum Accelerator]] resulted in the Mobile HQ and three of the Rescue Bots being teleported around the island. After a stop atop [[Mount Griffin]], Heatwave threw the device away, only to find they needed it to rescue Kade from the forest. {{storylink|Road Trip}} The Rescue Bots helped construct Frankie Greene&#039;s [[Sky Forest (structure)|Sky Forest]], only to have to rescue the town&#039;s citizens when the plant life grew out of control. {{storylink|Sky Forest (episode)|Sky Forest}} When Chief Burns was ill, Heatwave had to contend with Kade appointing himself head honcho, and Cody being accidentally aged into an adult in a lab experiment. He helped track down Evan and Myles, and was amused when Kade was temporarily de-aged into a child by the equipment they&#039;d stolen. {{storylink|One for the Ages}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When an iceberg was discovered that was actually a frozen [[S.S. Isolde|ship]] carrying a dangerous [[Sub-Zero Expander]], Heatwave took part in an attempt to get rid of the device by blowing it up, which was aborted when it turned out Doctor Morocco had claimed the vessel as salvage. The team had to deal with the fallout when the device exploded and froze a five-mile section of ocean. {{storylink|Tip of the Iceberg}} After the Bots saved a skier when a huge snow storm hit Griffin Rock, Heatwave scolded Blades for not helping him evade an avalanche. When Blades and Cody got trapped in &#039;&#039;[[Griffin Rock Element Quest]]&#039;&#039;, a new virtual reality game in the Hall of Inspiration, Heatwave made sure the power didn&#039;t go out by holding two electrical lines together, which caused him to be temporarily dazed after being electrocuted. He later entered the game himself and was surprised to see that Blades was protecting Cody very well. He helped the two defeat the game and was teleported out. Heatwave later commended Blades for his courage. {{storylink|A Virtual Disaster}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BlameTheGremlins Heatwave tells off Kade.jpg|thumb|right|250px|If one of you fed those things after midnight, we&#039;re &#039;&#039;gonna have a bad time!&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was confused and irritated by Kade ignoring emergency calls about fires, until he was hypnotized by one of the cellphones which were bringing the island&#039;s inhabitants under their control. Heatwave was forced to dig up [[Blossom Vale]] until the cell tower was destroyed. {{storylink|Spellbound}} Huxley Prescott roped the rescue team into taking part in a reality show, but started manufacturing his emergencies to make the show more exciting. As a result, Heatwave ran out of water to fight a forest fire, and had to use maple syrup instead. {{storylink|Prescott&#039;s Bots}} When Kade&#039;s nightmares about [[gremlin]]s started affecting his work, Heatwave told him to deal with them. Unfortunately this ended with the team having to face a horde of [[gremlin]]s, conjured from Kade&#039;s nightmares by Doc Greene&#039;s [[Nightmare Imaging Device]]. {{storylink|Blame the Gremlins}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a monster was spotted during a star-gazing expedition with Cody, Heatwave was doused with skunk smell. He and the other Rescue Bots helped Cody hunt for the beast, resulting in an encounter with it at an old cannery. It transpired that the &amp;quot;Magic Meat&amp;quot; that [[H.B. Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] had been selling was [[Fo-Foo]], an experimental food with lycanthropic side effects, and the team had to track down Luskey and Graham who were both infected. {{storylink|Feed the Beast}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SpaceBots Heatwave flying in space.jpg|thumb|left|280px|Y&#039;know, that scene in WALL-E was so much more &#039;&#039;effective&#039;&#039; with a partner.]]&lt;br /&gt;
During a visit by [[Woodrow Burns]], Heatwave realized a photo he&#039;d taken of a cavern showed [[energon]], and alerted Optimus. Once Optimus arrived to help mine the energon, the mission instead turned into a rescue, as Woodrow and Cody had become trapped in a cavern deep underground. {{storylink|What Lies Below}} Separated from the rest of the team, Optimus and Heatwave discovered the main shaft of Mount Magma, and nearby, a sizable deposit of energon. When they were later reunited with the rest of the team, they were able to ignite the energon in a plan to blast themselves out of the top of the volcano. Optimus later farewelled the Rescue Bots, informing Heatwave that he should prepare for greater responsibility some time soon. {{storylink|What Rises Above}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the launch of the &#039;&#039;[[Asgard]]&#039;&#039; and its collision with an asteroid, Heatwave and the team had to intercept debris falling on the town. The Rescue Bots fired up their spaceship and went up to rescue the crew of the &#039;&#039;Asgard&#039;&#039;, with Heatwave himself jumping over to the space elevator and retrieving Doc Greene and Graham. {{storylink|Space Bots}} When the team had to deal with a [[mechanical bull]], they discovered it was made hostile by Heatwave&#039;s red color scheme. They managed to get it to the laboratory where Cody was accidentally sent with it to the [[Island of Misfit Tech]]. Heatwave volunteered to travel there, but quickly lost his recall tag and ended up fighting metal-eating insects until Cody came to the rescue with the help of the mechanical bull. Joined by Kade, the trio were able to return to Griffin Rock in time to help deal with a Scrapmaster. {{storylink|The Island of Misfit Tech}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BuddySystem Heatwave and snake.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Alright, who&#039;s the wiseguy who tried to replace my hose with a live snake?!]]&lt;br /&gt;
The town&#039;s new central computer [[Vigil]] was unable to control the four Rescue Bots, so when it attempted to take control of Griffin Rock, the Bots were able to get the rest of the team into its vault to stop it. {{storylink|The Vigilant Town}} Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots went along on a nature hike, however when the hike was interrupted by a snake infestation in town, Heatwave was forced to put up with Kade and Dani bickering and discovered he had a particular dislike of snakes. {{storylink|Buddy System}} Heatwave, Blades and Boulder accompanied Graham and Cody to Wayward Island, where they discovered a lodestone super-magnet that was causing metal objects to be pulled towards it all the way from Griffin Rock. {{storylink|In Search of the Griffin&#039;s Nest}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Changes Heatwave as boat.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Sooo, does this make me a Triple-Changer?]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Chase appeared to join Evan and Myles during a crime spree by the pair, Heatwave believed that he&#039;d switched sides. It later turned out Chase had merely gone undercover to learn the pair&#039;s plan, though as Heatwave later pointed out, he should have let them know. {{storylink|Bots and Robbers}} Following the rescue of a dog, Heatwave was confused by the concept of dog ownership, until [[Noble (RB)|Noble]] turned out to be a capable rescuer who joined the Rescue Bots in their work. {{storylink|Rescue Dog}} Called to the mainland by Optimus Prime, Heatwave received additional training, allowing him to focus his energies in preparation to take on a third mode. As he and Kade headed back to Griffin Rock, he ended up scanning a sunken fire boat in order to come to the aid of the rest of the team. {{storylink|Changes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a sea rescue Heatwave took part in resulted in everyone&#039;s midwinter holiday presents sinking to the bottom of the ocean, Heatwave and the rest of the team took on the mantle of the [[Rider of Midwinter]] and delivered loaves of bread to the townsfolk. {{storylink|The Riders of Midwinter}} When a [[Power Planter]] was struck by lightning and ran wild, the team was forced to respond to a number of emergencies caused by it. They eventually succeeded in luring it into a trap using [[Boil Coil]]s and Heatwave tricked it into driving off a cliff. {{storylink|Movers and Shakers}} During Chief Burns&#039;s absence from the island, the team found itself under Woodrow&#039;s leadership. {{storylink|Chief Woodrow}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the other Rescue Bots prepared for Bumblebee&#039;s visit, Heatwave utilized his new boat mode to help Cody and Frankie test Doc Greene&#039;s new [[Ski-neakers]], and rescued the pair when a wave threatened them. Bumblebee turned out to be on the hunt for a relic, and Heatwave helped in the search. Afterwards he and Kade helped rescue people when a right whale sank the ferry. {{storylink|Odd Bot Out}} The rescue team was roped into completing a rail tunnel to the mainland, mainly because Mayor Luskey regarded the Bots as heavy machinery. When the [[Griffin Rock Express]] went out of control, the Bots had to rescue everyone on board, with the help of Frankie and her phasing technology. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Express}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:OddBotOut Heatwave rescues Chase.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Heatwave&#039;s attempt at wearing a feather boa didn&#039;t quite go as planned.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Following a game of [[Rescue Ball]] which was interrupted by an impromptu rescue, Chase and the others found that Blades was acting strangely. They discovered why when they were abducted by Dr. Morocco and replaced by duplicates as Blades had been earlier. Morocco erased their memories and convinced them he had been appointed their Earth liaison by Optimus Prime. The Rescue Bots were promptly sent on a mission to mine gold under Griffin Rock, which barely got started before they trigged a methane explosion, and were confronted by the &amp;quot;criminal&amp;quot; Burns family. {{storylink|Double Villainy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The suspicious Bots were taken back to the fire house, where the evidence soon convinced them that the Burns family was on their side and they&#039;d been misled by Morocco. Unfortunately the methane explosion cause the island to begin to sink, and given the choice between helping out or regaining their memories, the Bots chose the former option, though at least Heatwave was restored to his position as team leader. With the help of some tech from Doc Greene, the team was able to raise the island once again, and Morocco was forced to restore their memories. {{storylink|Rise of the Heroes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During a routine inspection by Optimus, Heatwave led his team to Wayward Island to investigate a pterodactyl appearance. The Rescue Bots found a group of dinosaurs which chased them into a tar pit, and they had to be rescued by Optimus Prime. Once they established what the dinosaurs were upset about, the team was able to get them to return to the underground cavern they&#039;d come from. {{storylink|Land Before Prime (episode)|Land Before Prime}} When Optimus was abducted by big game hunter [[Quint Quarry]], Heatwave, Chase and Blades headed to Quarry&#039;s island to mount a rescue. The hunter managed to trap them in a cage and was about to take them off the island in his heli-jet when Optimus and Boulder came to their aid. {{storylink|Big Game}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TooManyKades Heatwave buffs himself.jpg|thumb|left|260px|Where&#039;s [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] when you need him?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Kade&#039;s obnoxious behavior led Heatwave to &amp;quot;accidentally&amp;quot; soak him while the team was rounding up clones of Mister Pettypaws created by the Imaging Device. Shortly thereafter another test of the device resulted int the creation of four more Kades, and Heatwave was amused when the Kades argued amongst themselves, though not so much when their squabbling almost caused an accident. The Kades later saved Heatwave and the rest of the team from a gas leak. {{storylink|Too Many Kades}} The team was sent ten years forward in time when they boarded the &#039;&#039;[[S.S. Phantom Voyager]]&#039;&#039;, however Boulder and Graham were able to reverse the time machine stored in the ship&#039;s hold, returning them to present day. {{storylink|Phantom of the Sea}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave related the story of the Energon eater to Cody one story night. Following a flooding disaster, Heatwave allowed Chase and Boulder to go into space to attempt to help the stricken ship that had sent out the original distress call, and had to attempt to cover for the pair in their absence. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} After the town was sealed inside an energy dome by Vigil, Heatwave and the others pursued the AI to try to beat it to the dome controls in the lab, but both Heatwave and Boulder ended up stuck under old cars in the scrapyard. {{storylink|No Place Like Dome}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BotTasticVoyage Heatwave sits on sofa.jpg|thumb|right|280px|...Where&#039;s the remote?]]&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to helping Graham with his love life, Heatwave and the rest of the team had to deal with mutant metal-eating army ants courtesy of Doctor Morocco. {{storylink|Bugs in the System}} During a trip on the space elevator Asgard, Heatwave switched bodies with Kade, allowing him to experience the delights of toothaches and human dentistry. He was very relieved when they got switched back. {{storylink|Switcheroo}} When Kade accidentally ingested [[scrubmite]]s, Heatwave and the rest of the team were shrunk to microscopic size and flew the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; into his body to deal with the critters. Heatwave had fun roping the mites, but when they were forced to strap them to the hull of the ship, he had to prevent them escaping before the ship could leave Kade&#039;s body. {{storylink|Bot-Tastic Voyage}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following Professor Baranova&#039;s abduction at the hands of Colonel Quarry, Heatwave scanned a &#039;&#039;Brachiosaurus&#039;&#039; alternate mode so that he and the others, including Optimus, could masquerade as the Dino-bots Quarry wanted Doc Greene to build. They were taken to an island by Quarry and put through their paces, before he took them to a boat so he could ship them off to be sold. Luckily Blades, who&#039;d been having trouble with his alternate mode, was able to rescue them and Quarry was arrested. {{Storylink|Quarry&#039;s Quarry}} The team visited Wayward Island to search for an energon trace. They found only a caveman frozen in ice, who turned out to be still alive once he was thawed back in Griffin Rock. While the others helped &amp;quot;[[Ira]]&amp;quot; acclimate, Heatwave and Blades returned to Wayward Island and found cave paintings depicting Autobots in the caveman&#039;s era. {{storylink|Did You See What I Thaw?}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AttackOfHumungado Dino Heatwave.jpg|thumb|left|250px|No, Heatwave, that&#039;s what a &#039;&#039;llama&#039;&#039; does! You&#039;re a &#039;&#039;Brontosaurus&#039;&#039;!]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Doc Greene&#039;s new projector was used to screen &#039;&#039;[[Humungado|Attack of Humungado]]&#039;&#039;, Heatwave ended up using his dinosaur mode to help combat Humungado and his rival Rayvenous when it turned out the projector made them more realistic then Doc had planned...by bringing the two kaiju into the real world. {{storylink|The Attack of Humungado}} The mayor decided to honor the rescue team by holding [[Bot Appreciation Week]]; however, a clash in schedules resulted in the Burns family being off the island for the start. The Rescue Bots found they had to contend with the souvenir versions of themselves running amok thanks to Evan and Myles reprogramming them. {{storylink|All Bots Great and Small}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Cody began experiencing repeated time, his foreknowledge allowed the rescue team to prevent a number of disasters and mishaps during the dedication of the town&#039;s new clock tower. {{storylink|Time After Time}} When the mayor accidentally set fire to Founders&#039; Day, Heatwave and Kade put it out, but the indignant mayor suspended the team on account of the fact that the Burns family was descended from a pirate. A series of clues led the team to find the treasure and they were able to persuade the mayor to reinstate them. {{storylink|Pirates Ahoy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After being rescued from a whirlpool by [[High Tide]], Heatwave found himself and his team placed under the new Autobot&#039;s command for some water training. Chafing under High Tide&#039;s command, Heatwave eventually snapped and quit the training, but later led the operation to secure an oil spill. After the successful securing of the spill, High Tide accepted he&#039;d been too harsh on the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Turning the Tide}} During a visit by the time traveler [[Jules Verne]], Heatwave helped apprehend Dr. Morocco. He was surprised to learn that Verne had met him on another occasion which hadn&#039;t yet happened for Heatwave. {{storylink|The Last of Morocco}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RescueBotsAcademy Heatwave shouts at Blurr.jpg|thumb|right|280px|&amp;quot;One o&#039; these days, Blurr, one o&#039; these days: &#039;&#039;POW!!&#039;&#039; Straight to Cybertron!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
After the Rescue Bots found [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]] and [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] on Wayward Island, Optimus assigned the pair to be trained by Heatwave&#039;s team. Heatwave was unimpressed with the brash Blurr beating him in a race by cheating, and bungling a rescue, and even less so when it turned out Blurr had been lying about his past, but Optimus convinced him to give Blurr another chance. {{storylink|The New Recruits}} Heatwave grew ever more frustrated with Blurr&#039;s lack of progress, especially when Blurr botched a rescue and then took a joyride through town and almost exposed the Rescue Bots&#039; secret, leading Heatwave to tell Chief he was going to contact Optimus to get rid of Blurr. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy (episode)|Rescue Bots Academy}} He was even less impressed when Blurr stole the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039;, leaving the rescue team with a big problem when a solar flare knocked out the town&#039;s power. After Blurr saved the town from a falling satellite, Heatwave was more disposed to giving him another chance, though Optimus reassigned Blurr and Salvage elsewhere anyway. {{storylink|A New Hero}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Servo appeared to be causing damage around town, Heatwave conceded that they might need to send the dog back to High Tide, however it turned out Servo had actually been helping people, and Heatwave changed his mind. {{storylink|Four-Legged Hero}} Heatwave opted out of guard duties when Boulder found a family of endangered woodpeckers. He was proven right when the Rescue Bots activities resulted in the town finding out about the birds and damaging their habitat. {{storylink|Endangered Species}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Chase was put in charge of dispatch due to an injury, Heatwave was unimpressed with him raising several false alarms. Once Chase solved a mystery and saved [[Maura the Magnificent]] from going over [[Griffin Falls]], Heatwave declared him fit for duty again. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RB)|More than Meets the Eye}} When Doc Greene&#039;s [[Tone-O-Tuner]] caused everyone in town to sing instead of talk, Heatwave refused to say anything until there was an emergency at the town hall. To his relief, they found and shut down the Tone-O-Tuner. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave continued to grow discontent that the people they saved thought they were mere robots. He and the other Rescue Bots took part in the opening of a time capsule, during which a quantum crystal mishap resulted in the entire island being teleported to the [[Arctic]]. The four Bots had to deice the generators so that the island&#039;s dome could be raised. {{storylink|Now and Then}} Heatwave had to rescue Blades and Dani after they made an attempt to go for help. As the team enacted a plan to fill the dome with floatium and fly the island back, the Rescue Bots had their work cut out keeping people safe. The journey continued, but the Rescue Bots were forced to use their own energon to power the dome. They successfully reached Griffin Rock&#039;s old location, and after some medical attention, the Rescue Bots recovered. Optimus then gave them a new mission: to let the rest of the town in on their secret. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:NewNormal keeping Kade for later.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Heatwave finds the Velgrox&#039;s fetish disturbing.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Three years on, Heatwave had still not let the team reveal themselves out of worry that the townsfolk would react badly. He finally succeeded in contacting Optimus and received orders to build a new mainland base, though the fact that they would need to work with the humans still didn&#039;t change his mind. Finally an invasion by the [[Velgrox]] forced his hand. {{storylink|New Normal}} He quickly became discontent with the new attention he and the others were receiving, opting to test the new [[GroundBridge]] rather than prepare for a town meeting. After accidentally ending up in the [[Sahara]], he and the rest of the team fronted up to the townfolk, who voted to keep their secret. {{storylink|Bridge Building}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An attempt at racing with Blades resulted in Heatwave accidentally demolishing [[Cullen|Mr. Cullen]]&#039;s rocket. As a result Heatwave decided the team would focus on their duties rather than pursuing their own pastimes. Another GroundBridge accident sent him and Chase to the mainland, and resulted in them bringing a car back to the island who later turned out to be the Rescue Bot [[Quickshadow]]. {{storylink|Arrivals}} Irritated by Quickshadow lecturing them and defeating him in a sparring match, Heatwave placed her in charge of an operation to move [[Phodolite]] through town. The mission hit a snag when the Heatwave lost part of the load, resulting in the team having to use Chase&#039;s plan B when Quickshadow didn&#039;t have one. {{storylink|Plus One (RB)|Plus One}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:VanishingReturns digital Heatwave.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Heatwave Icarus?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Following a mishap in which the town pool froze over, the team visited the [[Griffin Rock Fun Zone|Fun Zone]] where Heatwave joined Chief, Cody and Frankie in a round of &#039;&#039;Element Quest&#039;&#039;, only to discover it had been invaded by the [[Morocco virus]]. {{storylink|Back to Virtual Reality}} When investors were looking at redeveloping the island, the Rescue Bots used Velgrox technology to make themselves invisible and pretend to be ghosts to scare them off. {{storylink|Vanishing Returns}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The team took part in [[Halloween|Earliween]] celebrations, and also came up with a plan to foil Evan and Myles when the pair tried to carnap Quickshadow. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (RB)|Ghost in the Machine}} When Whiskers was abducted from the zoo, the Rescue Bots used their dino modes as bait to lure big game hunter [[Thurston Chumley|Lord Chumley]]. Though they themselves were captured, they made the most of their situation, both finding Whiskers and bringing the rest of the team to help arrest Chumley. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RB)|Enemy of My Enemy}} When the opportunity came up, Heatwave was in favor of Chase running for mayor to prove that the Bots were equal in the community to humans. He soon changed his mind after Chase actually took office and the changes he made interfered with the Rescue Team doing their job. {{storylink|Mayor May Not}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PartTimeHeroes Heatwave traffic duty.jpg|thumb|left|290px|Heatwave discovers the worst part of being a public official on Earth; &#039;&#039;traffic duty&#039;&#039;.]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Boulder wanted to celebrate [[All Spark Day (event)|All Spark Day]], Heatwave believe they should stick to the holidays celebrated in their new home. After dealing with a water rescue and a giant-sized [[CeCe Greene]], the Bots found the whole town had decided to celebrate All Spark Day, and Heatwave acted as a substitute for the energon fountain. {{storylink|All Spark Day (episode)|All Spark Day}} When the town&#039;s communications tower required replacing, the team took on second jobs — Heatwave helped Kade entertain children&#039;s parties. The townsfolk later chipped in with enough cash to replace the tower. {{storylink|Part-Time Heroes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the day finally came to open the mainland [[Rescue Bot Training Center]], Heatwave found himself having to dial the others back with the partying. After the building was transformed, he attempted to return to Griffin Rock with Cody, only to discover that the GroundBridge was malfunctioning. {{storylink|The More Things Change...}} He, Kade and Cody were assigned the task of repairing the center&#039;s holographic cloak, and with Blades&#039;s help, managed to do so before the base could be discovered. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:OnceUponATime Heatwave busts out.jpg|thumb|right|280px|Heatwave hates it in [[Jurassic Park]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
During a series of motor races, the Bots had to first deal with a collapsing stand full of spectators, and then with runaway racers thanks to an errant invention. {{storylink|Hot Rod Bot}} Heatwave accompanied Blades, Chief and Dani to [[Africa]] when Woodrow Burns appeared to need help, and ended up helping a family of gorillas survive baboons and an erupting volcano. {{storylink|King Burns}} During the town&#039;s Pizza Pi Party, the team had to deal with a rapidly-expanding monster mound of pizza dough. {{storylink|Pizza Pi Party}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While running practice drills in the Training Center, the team had to save a Cybertronian ship that crash-landed. When it turned out Bumblebee was on board, the Rescue Bots took him on a tour of the center, however Heatwave and Chase were attacked and knocked out by an energon eater than had come down with the craft. Once it was captured, the others revived them. {{storylink|Uninvited Guest}} When Blades, Graham and Cody uncovered [[Chickadee]]&#039;s operation to find some lost gems, the rest of the team managed to apprehend her. {{storylink|Camp Cody}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave and Kade accompanied Cody and Frankie into the woods to make a delivery to Mrs. Neederlander, only to find themselves having to search for her. After finding her and briefly being trapped in a cave, the group managed to meet up with the rest of the team. {{storylink|Once Upon a Time}} After an attempt to drill Blurr on rescuing was less than successful, Heatwave and the rest of the team found themselves having to deal with the escaped [[Mini-Con]] [[Bounce]] and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], a member of Bumblebee&#039;s team. {{storylink|The Need for Speed}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TheNeedForSpeed Heatwave water knuckles.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Who needs knuckle &#039;&#039;dusters&#039;&#039; when you can have knuckle &#039;&#039;blasters&#039;&#039;?]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Madeline Pynch got hold of a chunk of Energon, the rescue team put into action a plan to recover the Energon and arrest Pynch. Heatwave (under the code name &#039;&#039;&#039;Thunder&#039;&#039;&#039;) and Chief were dropped into Pynch&#039;s compound by Blades, and managed to find Pynch&#039;s hoarded tech before she caught them, though they escaped having their memories wiped thanks to switching the tech and ultimately Pynch went to jail {{storylink|Cody&#039;s 11}} When Dani&#039;s test space mission ran into trouble, the team headed into space in the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; to mount a rescue, with Heatwave providing the first stage to a jetpack-assisted Rescue Bot rocket. {{storylink|To Infinity... And Back}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kade and Heatwave tried to get Cody interested in firefighting when the boy was deciding what sort of rescue worker he&#039;d become. {{storylink|Family Business}} The Bots found themselves having to maintain their robot disguises when [[Maven Danger]] stayed at the firehouse as research for his new movie, though it later turned out the visit was just so Maven&#039;s agent [[Skip Scobble]] could attempt to steal a rare book. {{storylink|A Brush with Danger}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The team was surprised to discover a whole town in [[China]] knew about them, when they were called there to deal with some out-of-control [[Scrubmite|Scrubbers]]. Afterwards Optimus promptly reassigned them, with Heatwave leading a team on Griffin Rock consisting of Salvage and Servo. When it turned out the Morocco virus was back and had built a new MorBot, Heatwave managed to blow it up by boobytrapping the GroundBridge. {{storylink|Upgrades}} Unfortunately when he, Kade and Cody returned to the Training Center, they found it under Morocco&#039;s control and had to hastily retreat. When Morocco set his sights on abducting Cody, Heatwave&#039;s team attempted in vain to protect the boy, but Heatwave was later able to pick up him and Frankie after they dropped Morocco into an undersea trench. Optimus later assigned Heatwave and Kade to train new recruits. {{storylink|Transformations}}&lt;br /&gt;

Following the restoration of Cybertron from the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Heatwave was one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. {{Storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trying to come up with a rallying cry, [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] once ordered his team to &amp;quot;roll to the rescue&amp;quot;, but then evidently remembered that someone else was already using that cry. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After spending some time with Bumblebee&#039;s team, Blurr said he needed to return to his own rescue team &amp;quot;before Heatwave blows a gasket.&amp;quot; {{storylink|Bee Cool}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:ToughLuckChuck Heatwave.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yep, still a dick. [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Only this time he also has a large chin.]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
Now in charge of the training center, Heatwave introduced a batch of new recruits to Earth and ran them through a series of exercises to assess them, including a simulated rescue. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} He later assigned the recruits to do a training rescue in the caves near [[Milford]], with Cody volunteering as rescue victim. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At some point Heatwave called in Blades to help [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] get the hang of his new jet mode. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}} After Hot Shot damaged [[Tough Luck Chuck]] during a training exercise, Heatwave put the recruit in charge of looking after the drone while he retrieved some new parts from Milford. It later turned out that Hot Shot had allowed Chuck to wander through the GroundBridge portal to Milford, and Heatwave had to lead the recruits in a search and rescue mission before Chuck was found by humans. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Believing that [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] could get the response time of the other recruits down, Heatwave lent the student his control for the rescue alarm, which didn&#039;t go as well as it could have. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MissionInaudible Heatwave vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Golly, Heatwave, your wheels are bigger than your engine!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave took the recruits to the building site where the Rescue Bots&#039; giant faces were being hewn into a mountainside near Griffin Rock. He later regretted it when Hot Shot endangered the entire enterprise by trying to add his own head. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} After seeing how [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] got Wedge and Hot Shot to stop fighting, Heatwave put him in charge of the recruits&#039; next practice rescue. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} Heatwave had Cody accompany the recruits on another rescue involving an overturned truck in Griffin Rock. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}} His demonstration of the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; to the recruits resulted in them believing that one of them was going to be expelled as there were only four command chairs, leading to them badly failing a volcano rescue drill until he explained that the ships were built to accommodate as many crew as necessary. {{storylink|Five into Four}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RescuePromo Heatwave puppet.jpg|thumb|right|350px|There are at &#039;&#039;least&#039;&#039; 4 recreations of Puppetwave in the community by this point.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Partway through filming a recruitment video, Heatwave had to go help [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]] on a mission and so left the task of filming the rest to [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]]. He invited Optimus back to the base to view the results. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} The recruits blaming each other for the failure of a rescue resulted in Heatwave assigning them chores as punishment. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Heatwave and the recruits set up a surprise for Cody to present him with his EMT training certificate. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After five [[TX3000]]s were loaned to the training center, Heatwave put the recruits through a series of exercises to test their ability with the device. {{storylink|The TX3000}} After Teen Pioneer [[Wes]] won a competition, Heatwave had the recruits spend some time with him, though Wedge required more persuading than the others. {{storylink|Driving a Wedge}} After rock sample from an asteroid went missing, Heatwave assumed one of the recruits had taken it. It later turned out that the rock was actually a small alien which had simply walked off his desk. {{storylink|About a Rock}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recruits attempted to keep a dog secret from Heatwave, but he inevitably found out and had them contact the dog&#039;s owner. It turned out the dog&#039;s name was also [[Heatwave (dog)|Heatwave]] and had been trying to get the recruits to rescue his other owner [[Frank Murphy]]. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Heatwave was overseeing the recruits in a simulation when Hot Shot fouled up again. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}} He, Boulder and Blades worked to prevent a flood in Griffin Rock while the recruits rescued townsfolk. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}} The recruits were too absorbed in the smartphones Boulder had assigned them to pay attention to Heatwave&#039;s lesson, resulting in them botching the rescue simulation he later had them do. {{storylink|Screen Time}} Heatwave took the recruits on a field trip to a museum in Milford, during which Whirl&#039;s contention that something was amiss paid off, and the team were able to catch a thief in the act. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:WhosTeachingWho student Heatwave.jpg|thumb|left|280px|Heatwave was never very good at &#039;&#039;fitting in&#039;&#039; while he was learning at his old Rescue Bot Academy.]]&lt;br /&gt;
During a mission to the &#039;&#039;Asgard&#039;&#039;, Heatwave and his team got trapped outside, necessitating the sending of the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; back to Earth so the recruits could come make an assist. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} Heatwave left the recruits with a list of chores when he and Cody joined the other Rescue Bots on an off-world mission. On his return, he was impressed with the results until he found the [[Scrub-A-Dubber]] in his office. {{storylink|All Washed Up}} When Heatwave&#039;s lesson bored the recruits, he suggested if they thought they could do better, they could be the teachers for the day. Though the results were variable, Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were able to employ what they&#039;d learned during a later rescue. {{storylink|Who&#039;s Teaching Who?}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While he had more business off-world, Heatwave assigned the recruits the task of retrieving a balloon from a tree in Milford. The tale he was told when he returned was rather more complicated than expected. {{storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}} Heatwave provided the recruits with a simulated dragon to deal with after discovering that Hoist was too distracted reading about the beasts. {{storylink|The Mystery of Dragon Mountain}} Heatwave introduced the recruits to their new teacher, [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]]. He later learned that Hoist had been trying to avoid Grimlock as he was afraid of Dinobots. {{Storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}} Heatwave gave Hoist permission to skip a trip to [[Wayward Island|Dino Island]]. He and the other teachers were away from the academy when a dinosaur got loose in it, leaving Hoist to have to deal with it. {{storylink|Dino Hard}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave assigned the recruits the task of retrieving a crashed top-secret satellite. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}} On [[Halloween]], Heatwave congratulated the recruits after they pulled off a rescue while trick or treating. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}} Heatwave was again absent from the base on another occasion, leaving Grimlock to do his digital paperwork. {{storylink|Monster Savings}} Heatwave assigned Hoist the task of looking after the experimental [[Virtual Sonic Fence]] and was later upset when the recruits became distracted by the tune used to unlock the device and failed an exercise. Once they got themselves together, he sent them on a mission to the planet [[Herboo]]. {{storylink|Tune Out}} Heatwave and Cody were dealing with a crashed ice cream truck when they had to go to the aid of Boulder and the recruits, who&#039;d stumbled on a nest of [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BestBotsForever1 Heatwave tows Grimlock.jpg|thumb|right|370px|How to Tow your Dinobot.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Increasingly irritated by the testing of Hoist&#039;s new comms system, Heatwave ordered the recruits to investigate why some animals were acting as which as it turned out, was because of the new comms system. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} Heatwave had the recruits try a simulation involving an ice wave to teach them that sometimes they had to pick their victories based on what was achievable. {{storylink|The Ice Wave}} Heatwave took part in a teachers vs students relay race, carrying Grimlock as a pretend rescue victim, and lost to Hot Shot when the recruit exploited the Dinobot&#039;s fear of cats. He was dismayed later when Hot Shot opted to drop out of the Academy the day before graduation to return to Cybertron. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} A space bridge malfunction caused by the students tampering with it resulted in Heatwave, Optimus, Cody and Chase becoming trapped in an expanding energon bubble. They were eventually freed by the recruits, and Heatwave&#039;s anger was cut short by the arrival of the Griffin Rock townsfolk. Graduation went ahead as planned. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between years, Heatwave had personal spaces set up for each of the five recruits, and showed them around when year two started. [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]&#039;s [[Aptitude Analyzer]] paired him with Hot Shot as a mentor. {{storylink|Back to School}} Said mentoring involved assigning Hot Shot a series of chores to do, which turned out to teach Hot Shot the skills necessary for a rescue the recruits had to carry out. {{storylink|In Training}} Heatwave took the recruits to visit Ratchet&#039;s lab on Cybertron and was stunned to learn Medix had been hiding a bat from him. {{storylink|Medix Steps Up To The Bat}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GreatEnergonRush Heatwave at desk.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Get in the Rescue Bot, Cody.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was perturbed to discover that the recruits had built a robotic suit for Cody. When he sent them to corral a rogue bull, the suit almost resulted in the situation ending in disaster, but instead it ended with Heatwave trying to wrangle the bull. {{storylink|Robo-Cody}} Heatwave assigned the recruits to the task of acting in Griffin Rock&#039;s Play in the Park. When Wedge confessed to having faked an injury to get out of it because a squirrel taunted him, Heatwave suggested maybe the squirrel was trying to tell him something else. {{storylink|Acting Out}} Heatwave approved [[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]] to join the Academy as a teacher. {{storylink|Need to Know}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was absent from the Academy for a number of days, and had Grimlock fill in for him. {{storylink|Trouble Cubed}} To recognize their good work, Heatwave let the recruits pick their favorite rescue simulation to do, and was confused when they decided to watch movies instead. {{storylink|My Favorite Rescue}} When Grimlock and Hoist found a lead on a possible energon cache, Heatwave approved a mission to go search but cautioned them to observe safety measures at all times. {{storylink|The Great Energon Rush}} Heatwave conducted a fire training exercise with Hot Shot. {{storylink|Wild Ghost Chase}} Heatwave attended the opening of the [[Museum of Future Tech Art]]. {{storylink|Museum Mystery}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]] and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] were trapped in a shrinking [[force field]] dome, Heatwave led the team of mentors and recruits to rescue them. {{storylink|Partners (RBA)|Partners}} Heatwave suggested Hot Shot give his new rescue tool a chance when the young Bot was disappointed with what the [[Sparksayer]] had given him. {{storylink|Power Up And Energize}} Heatwave attended the charity performance of the [[Griffin Rock Ballet School]]. {{storylink|Shall We Dance?}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BigWheels Heatwave and Hot Shot fire.jpg|thumb|right|300px|OK, so, let&#039;s start by going over the things you got right.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Optimus spurred Heatwave into action to try to help Hot Shot master his Mul-T-Cog, though it wasn&#039;t until the other recruits got involved that Hot Shot succeeded. {{storylink|Mul-T-Change of Pace}} Heatwave set up a test for Whirl&#039;s final deductive reasoning exam, disguising himself as a tree. Whirl saw through the disguise fairly easily. {{storylink|Five Little Rescue Bots}} When a series of technical malfunctions plagued the academy, Heatwave contacted Ratchet to get them fixed. {{storylink|Good Advice}} Hot Shot consulted Heatwave while trying to decide on a new alternate mode, however Heatwave had to come to his rescue when he started a fire at an abandoned rocket site. Hot Shot was so impressed with Heatwave&#039;s abilities in fire truck mode that he selected that for his new form. {{storylink|Big Wheels}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the recruits informed him of a distress signal they&#039;d detected in space, Heatwave sent them on their first solo off-world mission, giving them a rescue beacon for when they ran into trouble. He later responded to the rescue beacon and arrived in time to witness the reactivation of lost [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Citadel Secundus]]. {{storylink|The Empty City}} Heatwave took part in a &amp;quot;rescue-athon&amp;quot; partnered with Hot Shot. {{storylink|First Responder}} He sent the recruits to [[Australia]] in response to a distress signal, {{storylink|Brushfire (episode)|Brushfire}} and dispatched Whirl to take care of another distress call which turned out to be Scorch. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (episode)|The Ties That Bind}} Heatwave entered a classroom to find Ratchet and the recruits dancing like chickens, and slooooowly backed back out. {{storylink|Bot Blog}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:WizardOfBotz Heatwave head.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]&lt;br /&gt;
As Heatwave had to do repairs on the &#039;&#039;Asgard&#039;&#039;, he left the recruits in the care of Perceptor. The &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; vanished while he was prepping it for launch, as Medix had decided that the best plan to impress Perceptor would be to do the &#039;&#039;Asgard&#039;&#039; repairs himself. {{storylink|Medix Gets Schooled}} Heatwave sent the recruits out on a series of missions which led them to encounter a group of teens who were also mounting rescues. He later offered the teens the chance to train as first responders. {{storylink|Rescue Teens}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wizard in Whirl&#039;s dream appeared in the form of a giant holographic head resembling Heatwave. {{storylink|Wizard Of Botz}} After Heatwave assigned the recruits to carry out maintenance on the academy, he began seeing rabbits and cows passing through walls thanks to Hot Shot and Hoist screwing up repairs on Hero Hall. {{storylink|One Of Our Dragons Is Missing}} Responding to an emergency on Cybertron involving meteors heading towards [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], Heatwave was forced to leave [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]] and [[Snarl (FOC)|Snarl]] in charge of the academy. He returned assuming the place would be trashed, but instead the two Dinobots were &#039;&#039;cleaning&#039;&#039;. {{storylink|Dino-mite Duo}} Heatwave took the recruits to respond to a vague distress call from Citadel Secundus, though it turned out the Titan was just lonely. {{storylink|The Lonely Titan}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:XMarksTheBot Heatwave holokey.jpg|thumb|right|230px]]&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Finn O&#039;Reilly]] approached Heatwave with a [[holokey]] he&#039;d found, Heatwave enlisted the help of the recruits to join the pair on following the trail of breadcrumbs stored in the device. They eventually found a hidden cache of [[Tox-En]], hidden thousands of years earlier. {{storylink|X Marks The Bot}} Heatwave set up a series of tests to help the recruits learn when and when not to use their power up tools, even roping [[Jerry (RB)|Jerry]] into helping. {{Storylink|Powerless}} Heatwave was approached by Mayor Luskey to have the recruits monitor the upcoming charity concert by DJ Mechmaster. {{storylink|Griffin Rock Rocks!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave oversaw the recruits on their final test of year two, and afterwards announced they&#039;d get to have a party aboard Citadel Secundus. Unfortunately the party came to a halt when the Titan was struck by an asteroid which created an anti-energon field, putting Heatwave and the rest of the teaching staff into stasis lock. {{storylink|Space Party}} They were revived once Secundus was safely landed on Earth, and held the students&#039; graduation ceremony, during which Heatwave revealed that Secundus was becoming the Academy&#039;s new wing. {{storylink|Crash Of The Titan}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Heatwave the Fire-Bot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Rescue Bot, 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Heatwave transforms into a red and grey fire engine of likely fictitious origin. In keeping with the simple [[transformation scheme]] of the line, Heatwave transforms from vehicle mode to robot mode by simply pulling up the ladder and folding down the feet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to the placement of his ladder on his back, it is actually possible for the human figures to hitch a ride on Heatwave&#039;s back in robot mode; the rungs on the ladder are just thin enough to allow for one of their hands to slip around and the thumb on that hand to fit in the hollow area on the back of said rung.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure was redecoed for the [[#Rescue Bots: Energize|&#039;&#039;Energize&#039;&#039; toyline]], casting some parts in translucent blue plastic. It was also retooled to give it sockets capable of holding the newly included eponymous implement. The retooled version was later redecoed in cartoon-accurate colors and [[#Rescue Bots (2018)|given a limited re-release in 2018]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the first wave of the Rescan series, Heatwave is an all-new figure, featuring a spring-loaded transformation from show-accurate fireboat to robot, activated by his lightbar. As a boat, he does not have any wheels, nor does he have anything else to lift him off the surface of a table. He is therefore prone to paint wear on his wrist-mounted water cannons and the top of his faux chest window during play.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Trailer/gauntlet, water-blast projectile&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of a larger &amp;quot;deluxe&amp;quot; range of toys under the broader &#039;&#039;Playskool Heroes&#039;&#039; banner, Hook &amp;amp; Ladder Heatwave is a smaller, more show-like re-make of his original toy (in line with the &amp;quot;Rescan&amp;quot; assortment of his teammates), transforming from fire truck to robot and back with a single step triggered by swinging his truck-mode back end/leg down. He comes with a large trailer unit with a moving ladder rig equipped with a spring-loaded &amp;quot;water burst&amp;quot; launcher. The rig can transform into a gauntlet that kids (or adults with small arms) can wear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The package back calls out that Heatwave&#039;s back-ladder is removable and can be attached to the trailer, but it takes &#039;&#039;way&#039;&#039; too much force to do and doesn&#039;t feel like it&#039;s actually supposed to. Also, the ladder has been molded in a way that makes the tops of the steps incorrectly aligned when attached, causing them to face sideways.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The cab-robot was also included in the &amp;quot;[[Heatwave (RB)#4pack|Griffin Rock Rescue Team Set]]&amp;quot; in 2016, [[Heatwave (RB)#RescanCab|released singly]] in 2018, and [[#RBACab|re-released singly again as part of &#039;&#039;Rescue Bots Academy&#039;&#039;]], each time with no notable changes.&lt;br /&gt;

:Yet another new body for the character released as part of the sixteenth wave of the Rescan series, this time changing into a race car in a single step. He seems to take a lot of the engineering from the Rescan [[MorBot]] figure, which is an extensive retool of [[Blurr (Prime)#Rescue Bots|Blurr]]. In 2019 [[#RBARescanRaceCar|he was re-released]] under [[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Rescue Bots Academy&#039;&#039; branding]] with no changes, and was also retooled with a new head and resculpted chest and legs, into the [[Whirl (RBA)#Racecar|race-car version of &#039;&#039;Rescue Bots Academy&#039;&#039; Whirl]].&lt;br /&gt;

{{disambigm|Heatwave (disambiguation)|Thunder (disambiguation)}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Heatwave the Fire-Bot is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:HeatwaveTheFireBot_poster.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Note: Toy may look nothing like TV show character.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The team leader of the [[Rescue Bot]]s, &#039;&#039;&#039;Heatwave&#039;&#039;&#039; was given his position because of how deeply he cares for his team and their mission. However, he is a bot of action at heart who dreams of one day joining [[Team Prime]], and sometimes has little patience for anything he sees as getting in the way of his mission, including staying in disguise as non-sentient vehicles and working with [[human]] partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When he goes into action, though, no blaze is too strong for his armor. With built-in water cannons, a rescue hook, and a fireman&#039;s axe, he&#039;s well prepared to take on the most stubborn fires and most intense rescue missions. He partners with the other Rescue Bots and with their newest human teammates, [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Cody Burns]], though he and Kade are frequently at odds as their egos clash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Storybooks===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PrimeAlert Heatwave rolls out.jpg|thumb|left|260px|]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was the leader of the Rescue Bot team on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. They received a message from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] to join him on [[Earth]], and immediately hopped in their spaceship. On arrival on the new planet, Optimus gave him a new alternate mode, a fire truck, and they headed for [[Griffin Rock]]. [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] accidentally chopped down a tree with his rotors, requiring some quick work by the rest of the team to prevent more damage. They finally reached their destination, where Optimus introduced them to [[Charlie Burns|Chief Charlie]]. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Roll Out}} Heatwave&#039;s first mission was to go to the [[Fire Safety Training Center]] for training, and there he rescued a cat and extinguished a fire. He soon after received an emergency alert from [[Fire Station Prime|Prime Fire Station]], and rushed back across town to find the station on fire. After rescuing Chief Charlie and [[Cody Burns]], he and Cody became partners, and were assigned the important task of giving [[Sparkplug (RB)|Sparkplug]] a bath. {{storylink|Prime Alert}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the team at the station were joined by Blades, the two Rescue Bots and Cody headed out to another emergency, however Blades&#039;s radio was damaged, making it difficult for Heatwave to give him orders. While Heatwave battled the forest fire, Blades accidentally fanned the fire with his rotors until Heatwave and Cody were able to shoo him away. Blades discovered where his partner and the other endangered humans were, and led Heatwave to them. Heatwave and Cody were able to finish putting out the fire, and returned to Prime Fire Station covered in soot. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Respond}} [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Boulder]] later arrived at the station to complete the team, and Heatwave and Blades were there to welcome them. {{storylink|Rapid Rescue}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:UnfinishedBusiness protoHeatwave.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rock Em&#039; Sock Em&#039; Rescue Bot.]]&lt;br /&gt;
On Cybertron, Heatwave was a three time [[Cybertronian sport#Lobbing|Lobbing]] champion. {{storylink|Road Trip}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave and his team were finishing a routine patrol in space when they received a distress call. Investigating, they found they&#039;d been marked as lunch by an [[Energon eater]], and had to put themselves in stasis and power down their ship to escape it. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} Sometime later, the &#039;&#039;[[Sigma]]&#039;&#039; received a transmission from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and landed on [[Earth]]. After dropping the bombshell that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was no more, Optimus appointed Heatwave team leader and assigned them to [[Griffin Rock]] to work with the Burns family. The four Rescue Bots were presented to the public by [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] at a ceremony, following which Heatwave and his new partner, [[Kade Burns]], drove to the [[Griffin Rock natural history museum|museum]] to attend to a fire. Heatwave was disgruntled when Kade took the credit for his saving Chief Burns and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] from a falling dinosaur statue head. That night, [[Cody Burns]] discovered the Rescue Bots&#039; secret, and after they helped stop a rogue robot &#039;&#039;Tyrannosaurus rex&#039;&#039;, Chief Burns revealed the truth to the rest of the team. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Heatwave roll to the rescue.jpg|thumb|left|350px|My head looks nothing like my toy, that&#039;s how much of a rebel I am!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave and Kade continued having trouble working together, with Kade even preferring to drive a non-transforming firetruck. After [[Mount Magma]] started spewing lava and threatening the island, the pair were forced to work together, driving through a tunnel under the island to stop the lava from reaching the bunker under the fire station. {{storylink|Under Pressure}} Following the rescue of [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]], Heatwave felt under-appreciated by the humans. He was amused when [[Dani Burns|Dani]] fitted a scoop claw to [[Blades (RB)|Blades]], but less so when the pair started upstaging the other Rescue Bots at rescues, and even threatened to forcibly remove the device from his comrade. Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots came to Blades&#039;s rescue when he was struck by lightning and unable to fly, after which Dani sent some appreciation their way and Blades promised not to use the claw as much. {{storylink|Hotshots}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Heatwave with children.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Urge to kill...rising...]]&lt;br /&gt;
After another rescue of Doc Greene, Heatwave was still disgruntled and refused to take part in the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]], instead staying back at the fire station to watch it on TV. When the town was attacked by [[flobster]]s, he ventured out to help the other Rescue Bots fight the flying critters, resulting in him later having to endure being climbed on by children. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}} Following the rescue of a truck of hazardous materials, Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were subjected to a screening of &#039;&#039;[[The Natives of Tatooie]]&#039;&#039;, which accidentally resulted in [[Huxley Prescott]] causing a mass panic by reporting an alien invasion. The Rescue Bots had to destroy Prescott&#039;s [[SETI]] dish to save the island. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave&#039;s attempt to stop [[Harrison (RB)|Mr. Harrison]]&#039;s heli-pack ride with water only resulted in an umbrella shop being flooded. When [[Boulder]] was taken over by nanites, Heatwave threatened to physically intervene, though Blades suspected Boulder would come out on top in that match-up. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Called out about a cat in a tree, Heatwave saved [[Neederlander|Mrs. Neederlander]] when she fell out of a tree, and was rewarded with a slap in the face. The next day, he helped hunt a [[Whiskers|lion]] and return a bunch of lemurs to the [[Griffin Rock Zoo|zoo]]. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}} When a rescue went wrong, Heatwave managed to fish Kade and [[Don|another human]] out of a river using his fire hose. Cody roped the Rescue Bots, including &amp;quot;Uncle Heatwave&amp;quot;, into helping him look after a [[Robo-Baby]]. The Robo-Baby seemed to like Heatwave best of all. After the baby went missing during a call-out, the bots had to rescue it from a wind farm. Heatwave caught it in mid-air after it fell from a windmill. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DeepTrouble Heatwave jumps shark.jpg|thumb|left|290px|&amp;quot;Just keep swimming...just keep swimming...&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
During a heatwave, Heatwave did not appreciate being used as a sprinkler. When a weather machine went out of control, he and the other Rescue Bots had to spring into action attending snow-related emergencies around town. {{storylink|Christmas in July}} Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were invited on the Burns&#039; annual fishing trip on the &#039;&#039;[[Darby Ava]]&#039;&#039;. Heatwave didn&#039;t really get the whole fishing thing until they encountered a [[shark submarine|mechanical shark]] and he got to wrestle it. He, [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and Boulder eventually managed to disable the sub, though it self-destructed soon after. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RB)|Deep Trouble}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Rescue Bots had to help stop out-of-control technology one foggy day, when the Griffin Rock mainframe was hacked into. Heatwave had to rescue the mayor from the town hall when a garbage truck trapped him inside. {{storylink|Return of the Dino Bot}} When [[Doctor Morocco]] turned up with his [[MorBot]] and threatened to overshadow the Rescue Bots, the team was forced to compete with the doctor&#039;s invention to prove themselves worthy. Thanks to Morocco&#039;s machinations, they failed and were stood down from service. Heatwave was particularly angry at the loss. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} Accepting defeat, he attempted to make contact with Optimus Prime to get reassigned and considered getting their ship working again. After being called out to a fire at the lab, the Rescue Bots got the chance to exact some payback on the MorBot. The team was subsequently reinstated as Griffin Rock&#039;s rescue service. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SmallBlessings Kade rescues Hayley.jpg|thumb|right|260px|Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.]]&lt;br /&gt;
After helping Kade rescue [[Hayley]], a girl Kade was interested in, Heatwave was annoyed by Kade blowing him off to go on a date. When he and the rest of the team turned up to a break-in at the [[Hall of Inspiration]], Heatwave was forced to protect Kade and as a result was shrunk to the size of an ant by the [[Minimizer]]. He was joined by the similarly shrunken Boulder and Blades, and the trio ended up in the sewer. After braving huge rats and a torrent of water, they made it to the [[Griffin Rock dam]], where they rescued Kade and alerted the rest of the team to the fact that the dam was near bursting. Cody later used the Minimizer to return them to their normal sizes. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} Heatwave helped save [[Wild (RB)|Captain Wild]]&#039;s ship and found &amp;quot;tunnel 15&amp;quot; in the tunnels below Griffin Rock. This led the team to discover [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Midgard]]&#039;&#039; at the bottom of an ocean trench, and they helped her seal the methane vent causing the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]]. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the daring rescue of Huxley Prescott by the four bots, Chief left them with Kade in charge, however when they got an apparent SOS from Cody and Kade was unable to be contacted, Heatwave made the decision to disobey the Chief&#039;s orders and venture into [[Griffin Crest]]. He, Blades and Boulder were subsequently caught by the [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] field there and immobilized on top of [[Old Parker]], necessitating a rescue by Chase and the human half of the team. He was forced to concede that sticking to the rules sometimes worked. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}} Heatwave and the other three Bots were washed out to sea with Cody and ended up on an inhabited island. Their attempts to build him shelter and gather food were less than successful, but they did manage to find traces of the &#039;&#039;[[Oaken Crow]]&#039;&#039;, which led to them finding the ship and getting off the island. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:YouveBeenSquilshed Heatwave wields telephone pole.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Heatwave doesn&#039;t just throw javelins, he throws &#039;&#039;electrified&#039;&#039; javelins!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Chasing a crashed meteorite on [[Wayward Island]], the team ran into [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. Heatwave, Boulder and Chase checked out the meteorite and were unwittingly exposed to an alien virus. They slowly lost the ability to move or speak, and it was only through the work of Bumblebee, Blades and the humans that a cure was found. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}} Heatwave and the team were called out to deal with a giant rampaging blob of space slime. He was particularly incensed when it ate Chase, and though his water didn&#039;t help stop the blob, he found zapping it with electricity did, and the discovery ultimately led to the [[Squilsh]]&#039;s defeat. {{storylink|You&#039;ve Been Squilshed}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After most of the town disappeared, Heatwave and the other Bots found themselves fighting small mechanical bugs. He took Cody, [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] and Kade to the lab so they could check the information on the computer there, but after all three of them vanished as well, it was up to Heatwave and his team to work out where the humans had been teleported to. After locating the cavern in question, they were able to rescue the townsfolk. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}} When Griffin Rock was infested by what appeared to be ghosts, Heatwave was mostly just frustrated that he couldn&#039;t hit them. When they turned out to just be holograms, he took great delight in catching the perpetrators by hosing them down to work out which were the real humans. {{storylink|The Haunting of Griffin Rock}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ShakeUp Heatwave protects Frankie.jpg|thumb|right|280px|If he slips and falls, Heatwave&#039;d have a &#039;&#039;looot&#039;&#039; of explaining to do about the red stain on his windscreen.]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Kade challenged Graham to a race, Heatwave did the driving and ended up demolishing a fire hydrant. After Chase and the Chief went missing, Heatwave and the others searched all night for them, eventually tracking them down to the lead mine where the team had to rescue them. {{storylink|Little White Lies}} Heatwave was annoyed when Kade ordered the Bots to take part in Frankie&#039;s film for school. The Bots soon had problems attending to an earthquake and acting like robots at the same time, but when Frankie followed them into the tunnels under the town, Heatwave had to come rescue her from a cave-in. In the process of doing so, he had to drop his cover, but she was passed out and didn&#039;t notice. {{storylink|Shake Up}} After Heatwave took part in a rescue at a pyrotechnics factory, Cody got a [[repulsor badge]] that gave him superhero powers. The Bots ended up being relegated to cleanup, at least until the badge overloaded and they had to rescue Cody from a bubble of energy. {{storylink|Rescue Boy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was roped into taking part in a photo op with Kade. When the four bots attended the testing of a [[Temporal Station|time machine]], he sheltered Cody and Frankie, and thus when the four Bots were propelled back in time to [[1939]], so were the kids. Heatwave had the rest of his team keep up the pretense of being robots, and they were subjected to a number of tests before Morocco pinned them to a wall and prepared to dissect them. Luckily Optimus and Bumblebee came to their rescue, and the team returned to the present, only to find that Morocco was in control of Griffin Rock. {{storylink|It&#039;s a Bot Time}} They soon established that leaving [[Dither]] in the past was a mistake. After an encounter with an alternate version of the Burns family, the Rescue Bots returned to 1939 and retrieved Dither, returning the timeline to normal. {{storylink|Bot to the Future}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RoadTrip Heatwave vs bear.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Man, those Junior Woodchuck roaring lessons came in real handy!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave soon learned to drive the newly-acquired [[Mobile Headquarters]], using it to stop a speeding driver. An incident with Doc Greene&#039;s [[Vacuum Accelerator]] resulted in the Mobile HQ and three of the Rescue Bots being teleported around the island. After a stop atop [[Mount Griffin]], Heatwave threw the device away, only to find they needed it to rescue Kade from the forest. {{storylink|Road Trip}} The Rescue Bots helped construct Frankie Greene&#039;s [[Sky Forest (structure)|Sky Forest]], only to have to rescue the town&#039;s citizens when the plant life grew out of control. {{storylink|Sky Forest (episode)|Sky Forest}} When Chief Burns was ill, Heatwave had to contend with Kade appointing himself head honcho, and Cody being accidentally aged into an adult in a lab experiment. He helped track down Evan and Myles, and was amused when Kade was temporarily de-aged into a child by the equipment they&#039;d stolen. {{storylink|One for the Ages}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When an iceberg was discovered that was actually a frozen [[S.S. Isolde|ship]] carrying a dangerous [[Sub-Zero Expander]], Heatwave took part in an attempt to get rid of the device by blowing it up, which was aborted when it turned out Doctor Morocco had claimed the vessel as salvage. The team had to deal with the fallout when the device exploded and froze a five-mile section of ocean. {{storylink|Tip of the Iceberg}} After the Bots saved a skier when a huge snow storm hit Griffin Rock, Heatwave scolded Blades for not helping him evade an avalanche. When Blades and Cody got trapped in &#039;&#039;[[Griffin Rock Element Quest]]&#039;&#039;, a new virtual reality game in the Hall of Inspiration, Heatwave made sure the power didn&#039;t go out by holding two electrical lines together, which caused him to be temporarily dazed after being electrocuted. He later entered the game himself and was surprised to see that Blades was protecting Cody very well. He helped the two defeat the game and was teleported out. Heatwave later commended Blades for his courage. {{storylink|A Virtual Disaster}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BlameTheGremlins Heatwave tells off Kade.jpg|thumb|right|250px|If one of you fed those things after midnight, we&#039;re &#039;&#039;gonna have a bad time!&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was confused and irritated by Kade ignoring emergency calls about fires, until he was hypnotized by one of the cellphones which were bringing the island&#039;s inhabitants under their control. Heatwave was forced to dig up [[Blossom Vale]] until the cell tower was destroyed. {{storylink|Spellbound}} Huxley Prescott roped the rescue team into taking part in a reality show, but started manufacturing his emergencies to make the show more exciting. As a result, Heatwave ran out of water to fight a forest fire, and had to use maple syrup instead. {{storylink|Prescott&#039;s Bots}} When Kade&#039;s nightmares about [[gremlin]]s started affecting his work, Heatwave told him to deal with them. Unfortunately this ended with the team having to face a horde of [[gremlin]]s, conjured from Kade&#039;s nightmares by Doc Greene&#039;s [[Nightmare Imaging Device]]. {{storylink|Blame the Gremlins}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a monster was spotted during a star-gazing expedition with Cody, Heatwave was doused with skunk smell. He and the other Rescue Bots helped Cody hunt for the beast, resulting in an encounter with it at an old cannery. It transpired that the &amp;quot;Magic Meat&amp;quot; that [[H.B. Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] had been selling was [[Fo-Foo]], an experimental food with lycanthropic side effects, and the team had to track down Luskey and Graham who were both infected. {{storylink|Feed the Beast}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SpaceBots Heatwave flying in space.jpg|thumb|left|280px|Y&#039;know, that scene in WALL-E was so much more &#039;&#039;effective&#039;&#039; with a partner.]]&lt;br /&gt;
During a visit by [[Woodrow Burns]], Heatwave realized a photo he&#039;d taken of a cavern showed [[energon]], and alerted Optimus. Once Optimus arrived to help mine the energon, the mission instead turned into a rescue, as Woodrow and Cody had become trapped in a cavern deep underground. {{storylink|What Lies Below}} Separated from the rest of the team, Optimus and Heatwave discovered the main shaft of Mount Magma, and nearby, a sizable deposit of energon. When they were later reunited with the rest of the team, they were able to ignite the energon in a plan to blast themselves out of the top of the volcano. Optimus later farewelled the Rescue Bots, informing Heatwave that he should prepare for greater responsibility some time soon. {{storylink|What Rises Above}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the launch of the &#039;&#039;[[Asgard]]&#039;&#039; and its collision with an asteroid, Heatwave and the team had to intercept debris falling on the town. The Rescue Bots fired up their spaceship and went up to rescue the crew of the &#039;&#039;Asgard&#039;&#039;, with Heatwave himself jumping over to the space elevator and retrieving Doc Greene and Graham. {{storylink|Space Bots}} When the team had to deal with a [[mechanical bull]], they discovered it was made hostile by Heatwave&#039;s red color scheme. They managed to get it to the laboratory where Cody was accidentally sent with it to the [[Island of Misfit Tech]]. Heatwave volunteered to travel there, but quickly lost his recall tag and ended up fighting metal-eating insects until Cody came to the rescue with the help of the mechanical bull. Joined by Kade, the trio were able to return to Griffin Rock in time to help deal with a Scrapmaster. {{storylink|The Island of Misfit Tech}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BuddySystem Heatwave and snake.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Alright, who&#039;s the wiseguy who tried to replace my hose with a live snake?!]]&lt;br /&gt;
The town&#039;s new central computer [[Vigil]] was unable to control the four Rescue Bots, so when it attempted to take control of Griffin Rock, the Bots were able to get the rest of the team into its vault to stop it. {{storylink|The Vigilant Town}} Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots went along on a nature hike, however when the hike was interrupted by a snake infestation in town, Heatwave was forced to put up with Kade and Dani bickering and discovered he had a particular dislike of snakes. {{storylink|Buddy System}} Heatwave, Blades and Boulder accompanied Graham and Cody to Wayward Island, where they discovered a lodestone super-magnet that was causing metal objects to be pulled towards it all the way from Griffin Rock. {{storylink|In Search of the Griffin&#039;s Nest}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Changes Heatwave as boat.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Sooo, does this make me a Triple-Changer?]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Chase appeared to join Evan and Myles during a crime spree by the pair, Heatwave believed that he&#039;d switched sides. It later turned out Chase had merely gone undercover to learn the pair&#039;s plan, though as Heatwave later pointed out, he should have let them know. {{storylink|Bots and Robbers}} Following the rescue of a dog, Heatwave was confused by the concept of dog ownership, until [[Noble (RB)|Noble]] turned out to be a capable rescuer who joined the Rescue Bots in their work. {{storylink|Rescue Dog}} Called to the mainland by Optimus Prime, Heatwave received additional training, allowing him to focus his energies in preparation to take on a third mode. As he and Kade headed back to Griffin Rock, he ended up scanning a sunken fire boat in order to come to the aid of the rest of the team. {{storylink|Changes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a sea rescue Heatwave took part in resulted in everyone&#039;s midwinter holiday presents sinking to the bottom of the ocean, Heatwave and the rest of the team took on the mantle of the [[Rider of Midwinter]] and delivered loaves of bread to the townsfolk. {{storylink|The Riders of Midwinter}} When a [[Power Planter]] was struck by lightning and ran wild, the team was forced to respond to a number of emergencies caused by it. They eventually succeeded in luring it into a trap using [[Boil Coil]]s and Heatwave tricked it into driving off a cliff. {{storylink|Movers and Shakers}} During Chief Burns&#039;s absence from the island, the team found itself under Woodrow&#039;s leadership. {{storylink|Chief Woodrow}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the other Rescue Bots prepared for Bumblebee&#039;s visit, Heatwave utilized his new boat mode to help Cody and Frankie test Doc Greene&#039;s new [[Ski-neakers]], and rescued the pair when a wave threatened them. Bumblebee turned out to be on the hunt for a relic, and Heatwave helped in the search. Afterwards he and Kade helped rescue people when a right whale sank the ferry. {{storylink|Odd Bot Out}} The rescue team was roped into completing a rail tunnel to the mainland, mainly because Mayor Luskey regarded the Bots as heavy machinery. When the [[Griffin Rock Express]] went out of control, the Bots had to rescue everyone on board, with the help of Frankie and her phasing technology. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Express}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:OddBotOut Heatwave rescues Chase.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Heatwave&#039;s attempt at wearing a feather boa didn&#039;t quite go as planned.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Following a game of [[Rescue Ball]] which was interrupted by an impromptu rescue, Chase and the others found that Blades was acting strangely. They discovered why when they were abducted by Dr. Morocco and replaced by duplicates as Blades had been earlier. Morocco erased their memories and convinced them he had been appointed their Earth liaison by Optimus Prime. The Rescue Bots were promptly sent on a mission to mine gold under Griffin Rock, which barely got started before they trigged a methane explosion, and were confronted by the &amp;quot;criminal&amp;quot; Burns family. {{storylink|Double Villainy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The suspicious Bots were taken back to the fire house, where the evidence soon convinced them that the Burns family was on their side and they&#039;d been misled by Morocco. Unfortunately the methane explosion cause the island to begin to sink, and given the choice between helping out or regaining their memories, the Bots chose the former option, though at least Heatwave was restored to his position as team leader. With the help of some tech from Doc Greene, the team was able to raise the island once again, and Morocco was forced to restore their memories. {{storylink|Rise of the Heroes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During a routine inspection by Optimus, Heatwave led his team to Wayward Island to investigate a pterodactyl appearance. The Rescue Bots found a group of dinosaurs which chased them into a tar pit, and they had to be rescued by Optimus Prime. Once they established what the dinosaurs were upset about, the team was able to get them to return to the underground cavern they&#039;d come from. {{storylink|Land Before Prime (episode)|Land Before Prime}} When Optimus was abducted by big game hunter [[Quint Quarry]], Heatwave, Chase and Blades headed to Quarry&#039;s island to mount a rescue. The hunter managed to trap them in a cage and was about to take them off the island in his heli-jet when Optimus and Boulder came to their aid. {{storylink|Big Game}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TooManyKades Heatwave buffs himself.jpg|thumb|left|260px|Where&#039;s [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] when you need him?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Kade&#039;s obnoxious behavior led Heatwave to &amp;quot;accidentally&amp;quot; soak him while the team was rounding up clones of Mister Pettypaws created by the Imaging Device. Shortly thereafter another test of the device resulted int the creation of four more Kades, and Heatwave was amused when the Kades argued amongst themselves, though not so much when their squabbling almost caused an accident. The Kades later saved Heatwave and the rest of the team from a gas leak. {{storylink|Too Many Kades}} The team was sent ten years forward in time when they boarded the &#039;&#039;[[S.S. Phantom Voyager]]&#039;&#039;, however Boulder and Graham were able to reverse the time machine stored in the ship&#039;s hold, returning them to present day. {{storylink|Phantom of the Sea}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave related the story of the Energon eater to Cody one story night. Following a flooding disaster, Heatwave allowed Chase and Boulder to go into space to attempt to help the stricken ship that had sent out the original distress call, and had to attempt to cover for the pair in their absence. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} After the town was sealed inside an energy dome by Vigil, Heatwave and the others pursued the AI to try to beat it to the dome controls in the lab, but both Heatwave and Boulder ended up stuck under old cars in the scrapyard. {{storylink|No Place Like Dome}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BotTasticVoyage Heatwave sits on sofa.jpg|thumb|right|280px|...Where&#039;s the remote?]]&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to helping Graham with his love life, Heatwave and the rest of the team had to deal with mutant metal-eating army ants courtesy of Doctor Morocco. {{storylink|Bugs in the System}} During a trip on the space elevator Asgard, Heatwave switched bodies with Kade, allowing him to experience the delights of toothaches and human dentistry. He was very relieved when they got switched back. {{storylink|Switcheroo}} When Kade accidentally ingested [[scrubmite]]s, Heatwave and the rest of the team were shrunk to microscopic size and flew the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; into his body to deal with the critters. Heatwave had fun roping the mites, but when they were forced to strap them to the hull of the ship, he had to prevent them escaping before the ship could leave Kade&#039;s body. {{storylink|Bot-Tastic Voyage}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following Professor Baranova&#039;s abduction at the hands of Colonel Quarry, Heatwave scanned a &#039;&#039;Brachiosaurus&#039;&#039; alternate mode so that he and the others, including Optimus, could masquerade as the Dino-bots Quarry wanted Doc Greene to build. They were taken to an island by Quarry and put through their paces, before he took them to a boat so he could ship them off to be sold. Luckily Blades, who&#039;d been having trouble with his alternate mode, was able to rescue them and Quarry was arrested. {{Storylink|Quarry&#039;s Quarry}} The team visited Wayward Island to search for an energon trace. They found only a caveman frozen in ice, who turned out to be still alive once he was thawed back in Griffin Rock. While the others helped &amp;quot;[[Ira]]&amp;quot; acclimate, Heatwave and Blades returned to Wayward Island and found cave paintings depicting Autobots in the caveman&#039;s era. {{storylink|Did You See What I Thaw?}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AttackOfHumungado Dino Heatwave.jpg|thumb|left|250px|No, Heatwave, that&#039;s what a &#039;&#039;llama&#039;&#039; does! You&#039;re a &#039;&#039;Brontosaurus&#039;&#039;!]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Doc Greene&#039;s new projector was used to screen &#039;&#039;[[Humungado|Attack of Humungado]]&#039;&#039;, Heatwave ended up using his dinosaur mode to help combat Humungado and his rival Rayvenous when it turned out the projector made them more realistic then Doc had planned...by bringing the two kaiju into the real world. {{storylink|The Attack of Humungado}} The mayor decided to honor the rescue team by holding [[Bot Appreciation Week]]; however, a clash in schedules resulted in the Burns family being off the island for the start. The Rescue Bots found they had to contend with the souvenir versions of themselves running amok thanks to Evan and Myles reprogramming them. {{storylink|All Bots Great and Small}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Cody began experiencing repeated time, his foreknowledge allowed the rescue team to prevent a number of disasters and mishaps during the dedication of the town&#039;s new clock tower. {{storylink|Time After Time}} When the mayor accidentally set fire to Founders&#039; Day, Heatwave and Kade put it out, but the indignant mayor suspended the team on account of the fact that the Burns family was descended from a pirate. A series of clues led the team to find the treasure and they were able to persuade the mayor to reinstate them. {{storylink|Pirates Ahoy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After being rescued from a whirlpool by [[High Tide]], Heatwave found himself and his team placed under the new Autobot&#039;s command for some water training. Chafing under High Tide&#039;s command, Heatwave eventually snapped and quit the training, but later led the operation to secure an oil spill. After the successful securing of the spill, High Tide accepted he&#039;d been too harsh on the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Turning the Tide}} During a visit by the time traveler [[Jules Verne]], Heatwave helped apprehend Dr. Morocco. He was surprised to learn that Verne had met him on another occasion which hadn&#039;t yet happened for Heatwave. {{storylink|The Last of Morocco}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RescueBotsAcademy Heatwave shouts at Blurr.jpg|thumb|right|280px|&amp;quot;One o&#039; these days, Blurr, one o&#039; these days: &#039;&#039;POW!!&#039;&#039; Straight to Cybertron!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
After the Rescue Bots found [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]] and [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] on Wayward Island, Optimus assigned the pair to be trained by Heatwave&#039;s team. Heatwave was unimpressed with the brash Blurr beating him in a race by cheating, and bungling a rescue, and even less so when it turned out Blurr had been lying about his past, but Optimus convinced him to give Blurr another chance. {{storylink|The New Recruits}} Heatwave grew ever more frustrated with Blurr&#039;s lack of progress, especially when Blurr botched a rescue and then took a joyride through town and almost exposed the Rescue Bots&#039; secret, leading Heatwave to tell Chief he was going to contact Optimus to get rid of Blurr. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy (episode)|Rescue Bots Academy}} He was even less impressed when Blurr stole the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039;, leaving the rescue team with a big problem when a solar flare knocked out the town&#039;s power. After Blurr saved the town from a falling satellite, Heatwave was more disposed to giving him another chance, though Optimus reassigned Blurr and Salvage elsewhere anyway. {{storylink|A New Hero}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Servo appeared to be causing damage around town, Heatwave conceded that they might need to send the dog back to High Tide, however it turned out Servo had actually been helping people, and Heatwave changed his mind. {{storylink|Four-Legged Hero}} Heatwave opted out of guard duties when Boulder found a family of endangered woodpeckers. He was proven right when the Rescue Bots activities resulted in the town finding out about the birds and damaging their habitat. {{storylink|Endangered Species}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Chase was put in charge of dispatch due to an injury, Heatwave was unimpressed with him raising several false alarms. Once Chase solved a mystery and saved [[Maura the Magnificent]] from going over [[Griffin Falls]], Heatwave declared him fit for duty again. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RB)|More than Meets the Eye}} When Doc Greene&#039;s [[Tone-O-Tuner]] caused everyone in town to sing instead of talk, Heatwave refused to say anything until there was an emergency at the town hall. To his relief, they found and shut down the Tone-O-Tuner. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave continued to grow discontent that the people they saved thought they were mere robots. He and the other Rescue Bots took part in the opening of a time capsule, during which a quantum crystal mishap resulted in the entire island being teleported to the [[Arctic]]. The four Bots had to deice the generators so that the island&#039;s dome could be raised. {{storylink|Now and Then}} Heatwave had to rescue Blades and Dani after they made an attempt to go for help. As the team enacted a plan to fill the dome with floatium and fly the island back, the Rescue Bots had their work cut out keeping people safe. The journey continued, but the Rescue Bots were forced to use their own energon to power the dome. They successfully reached Griffin Rock&#039;s old location, and after some medical attention, the Rescue Bots recovered. Optimus then gave them a new mission: to let the rest of the town in on their secret. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:NewNormal keeping Kade for later.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Heatwave finds the Velgrox&#039;s fetish disturbing.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Three years on, Heatwave had still not let the team reveal themselves out of worry that the townsfolk would react badly. He finally succeeded in contacting Optimus and received orders to build a new mainland base, though the fact that they would need to work with the humans still didn&#039;t change his mind. Finally an invasion by the [[Velgrox]] forced his hand. {{storylink|New Normal}} He quickly became discontent with the new attention he and the others were receiving, opting to test the new [[GroundBridge]] rather than prepare for a town meeting. After accidentally ending up in the [[Sahara]], he and the rest of the team fronted up to the townfolk, who voted to keep their secret. {{storylink|Bridge Building}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An attempt at racing with Blades resulted in Heatwave accidentally demolishing [[Cullen|Mr. Cullen]]&#039;s rocket. As a result Heatwave decided the team would focus on their duties rather than pursuing their own pastimes. Another GroundBridge accident sent him and Chase to the mainland, and resulted in them bringing a car back to the island who later turned out to be the Rescue Bot [[Quickshadow]]. {{storylink|Arrivals}} Irritated by Quickshadow lecturing them and defeating him in a sparring match, Heatwave placed her in charge of an operation to move [[Phodolite]] through town. The mission hit a snag when the Heatwave lost part of the load, resulting in the team having to use Chase&#039;s plan B when Quickshadow didn&#039;t have one. {{storylink|Plus One (RB)|Plus One}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:VanishingReturns digital Heatwave.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Heatwave Icarus?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Following a mishap in which the town pool froze over, the team visited the [[Griffin Rock Fun Zone|Fun Zone]] where Heatwave joined Chief, Cody and Frankie in a round of &#039;&#039;Element Quest&#039;&#039;, only to discover it had been invaded by the [[Morocco virus]]. {{storylink|Back to Virtual Reality}} When investors were looking at redeveloping the island, the Rescue Bots used Velgrox technology to make themselves invisible and pretend to be ghosts to scare them off. {{storylink|Vanishing Returns}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The team took part in [[Halloween|Earliween]] celebrations, and also came up with a plan to foil Evan and Myles when the pair tried to carnap Quickshadow. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (RB)|Ghost in the Machine}} When Whiskers was abducted from the zoo, the Rescue Bots used their dino modes as bait to lure big game hunter [[Thurston Chumley|Lord Chumley]]. Though they themselves were captured, they made the most of their situation, both finding Whiskers and bringing the rest of the team to help arrest Chumley. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RB)|Enemy of My Enemy}} When the opportunity came up, Heatwave was in favor of Chase running for mayor to prove that the Bots were equal in the community to humans. He soon changed his mind after Chase actually took office and the changes he made interfered with the Rescue Team doing their job. {{storylink|Mayor May Not}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PartTimeHeroes Heatwave traffic duty.jpg|thumb|left|290px|Heatwave discovers the worst part of being a public official on Earth; &#039;&#039;traffic duty&#039;&#039;.]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Boulder wanted to celebrate [[All Spark Day (event)|All Spark Day]], Heatwave believe they should stick to the holidays celebrated in their new home. After dealing with a water rescue and a giant-sized [[CeCe Greene]], the Bots found the whole town had decided to celebrate All Spark Day, and Heatwave acted as a substitute for the energon fountain. {{storylink|All Spark Day (episode)|All Spark Day}} When the town&#039;s communications tower required replacing, the team took on second jobs — Heatwave helped Kade entertain children&#039;s parties. The townsfolk later chipped in with enough cash to replace the tower. {{storylink|Part-Time Heroes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the day finally came to open the mainland [[Rescue Bot Training Center]], Heatwave found himself having to dial the others back with the partying. After the building was transformed, he attempted to return to Griffin Rock with Cody, only to discover that the GroundBridge was malfunctioning. {{storylink|The More Things Change...}} He, Kade and Cody were assigned the task of repairing the center&#039;s holographic cloak, and with Blades&#039;s help, managed to do so before the base could be discovered. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:OnceUponATime Heatwave busts out.jpg|thumb|right|280px|Heatwave hates it in [[Jurassic Park]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
During a series of motor races, the Bots had to first deal with a collapsing stand full of spectators, and then with runaway racers thanks to an errant invention. {{storylink|Hot Rod Bot}} Heatwave accompanied Blades, Chief and Dani to [[Africa]] when Woodrow Burns appeared to need help, and ended up helping a family of gorillas survive baboons and an erupting volcano. {{storylink|King Burns}} During the town&#039;s Pizza Pi Party, the team had to deal with a rapidly-expanding monster mound of pizza dough. {{storylink|Pizza Pi Party}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While running practice drills in the Training Center, the team had to save a Cybertronian ship that crash-landed. When it turned out Bumblebee was on board, the Rescue Bots took him on a tour of the center, however Heatwave and Chase were attacked and knocked out by an energon eater than had come down with the craft. Once it was captured, the others revived them. {{storylink|Uninvited Guest}} When Blades, Graham and Cody uncovered [[Chickadee]]&#039;s operation to find some lost gems, the rest of the team managed to apprehend her. {{storylink|Camp Cody}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave and Kade accompanied Cody and Frankie into the woods to make a delivery to Mrs. Neederlander, only to find themselves having to search for her. After finding her and briefly being trapped in a cave, the group managed to meet up with the rest of the team. {{storylink|Once Upon a Time}} After an attempt to drill Blurr on rescuing was less than successful, Heatwave and the rest of the team found themselves having to deal with the escaped [[Mini-Con]] [[Bounce]] and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], a member of Bumblebee&#039;s team. {{storylink|The Need for Speed}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TheNeedForSpeed Heatwave water knuckles.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Who needs knuckle &#039;&#039;dusters&#039;&#039; when you can have knuckle &#039;&#039;blasters&#039;&#039;?]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Madeline Pynch got hold of a chunk of Energon, the rescue team put into action a plan to recover the Energon and arrest Pynch. Heatwave (under the code name &#039;&#039;&#039;Thunder&#039;&#039;&#039;) and Chief were dropped into Pynch&#039;s compound by Blades, and managed to find Pynch&#039;s hoarded tech before she caught them, though they escaped having their memories wiped thanks to switching the tech and ultimately Pynch went to jail {{storylink|Cody&#039;s 11}} When Dani&#039;s test space mission ran into trouble, the team headed into space in the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; to mount a rescue, with Heatwave providing the first stage to a jetpack-assisted Rescue Bot rocket. {{storylink|To Infinity... And Back}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kade and Heatwave tried to get Cody interested in firefighting when the boy was deciding what sort of rescue worker he&#039;d become. {{storylink|Family Business}} The Bots found themselves having to maintain their robot disguises when [[Maven Danger]] stayed at the firehouse as research for his new movie, though it later turned out the visit was just so Maven&#039;s agent [[Skip Scobble]] could attempt to steal a rare book. {{storylink|A Brush with Danger}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The team was surprised to discover a whole town in [[China]] knew about them, when they were called there to deal with some out-of-control [[Scrubmite|Scrubbers]]. Afterwards Optimus promptly reassigned them, with Heatwave leading a team on Griffin Rock consisting of Salvage and Servo. When it turned out the Morocco virus was back and had built a new MorBot, Heatwave managed to blow it up by boobytrapping the GroundBridge. {{storylink|Upgrades}} Unfortunately when he, Kade and Cody returned to the Training Center, they found it under Morocco&#039;s control and had to hastily retreat. When Morocco set his sights on abducting Cody, Heatwave&#039;s team attempted in vain to protect the boy, but Heatwave was later able to pick up him and Frankie after they dropped Morocco into an undersea trench. Optimus later assigned Heatwave and Kade to train new recruits. {{storylink|Transformations}}&lt;br /&gt;

Following the restoration of Cybertron from the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Heatwave was one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. {{Storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trying to come up with a rallying cry, [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] once ordered his team to &amp;quot;roll to the rescue&amp;quot;, but then evidently remembered that someone else was already using that cry. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After spending some time with Bumblebee&#039;s team, Blurr said he needed to return to his own rescue team &amp;quot;before Heatwave blows a gasket.&amp;quot; {{storylink|Bee Cool}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:ToughLuckChuck Heatwave.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yep, still a dick. [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Only this time he also has a large chin.]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
Now in charge of the training center, Heatwave introduced a batch of new recruits to Earth and ran them through a series of exercises to assess them, including a simulated rescue. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} He later assigned the recruits to do a training rescue in the caves near [[Milford]], with Cody volunteering as rescue victim. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At some point Heatwave called in Blades to help [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] get the hang of his new jet mode. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}} After Hot Shot damaged [[Tough Luck Chuck]] during a training exercise, Heatwave put the recruit in charge of looking after the drone while he retrieved some new parts from Milford. It later turned out that Hot Shot had allowed Chuck to wander through the GroundBridge portal to Milford, and Heatwave had to lead the recruits in a search and rescue mission before Chuck was found by humans. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Believing that [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] could get the response time of the other recruits down, Heatwave lent the student his control for the rescue alarm, which didn&#039;t go as well as it could have. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MissionInaudible Heatwave vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Golly, Heatwave, your wheels are bigger than your engine!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave took the recruits to the building site where the Rescue Bots&#039; giant faces were being hewn into a mountainside near Griffin Rock. He later regretted it when Hot Shot endangered the entire enterprise by trying to add his own head. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} After seeing how [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] got Wedge and Hot Shot to stop fighting, Heatwave put him in charge of the recruits&#039; next practice rescue. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} Heatwave had Cody accompany the recruits on another rescue involving an overturned truck in Griffin Rock. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}} His demonstration of the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; to the recruits resulted in them believing that one of them was going to be expelled as there were only four command chairs, leading to them badly failing a volcano rescue drill until he explained that the ships were built to accommodate as many crew as necessary. {{storylink|Five into Four}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RescuePromo Heatwave puppet.jpg|thumb|right|350px|There are at &#039;&#039;least&#039;&#039; 4 recreations of Puppetwave in the community by this point.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Partway through filming a recruitment video, Heatwave had to go help [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]] on a mission and so left the task of filming the rest to [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]]. He invited Optimus back to the base to view the results. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} The recruits blaming each other for the failure of a rescue resulted in Heatwave assigning them chores as punishment. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Heatwave and the recruits set up a surprise for Cody to present him with his EMT training certificate. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After five [[TX3000]]s were loaned to the training center, Heatwave put the recruits through a series of exercises to test their ability with the device. {{storylink|The TX3000}} After Teen Pioneer [[Wes]] won a competition, Heatwave had the recruits spend some time with him, though Wedge required more persuading than the others. {{storylink|Driving a Wedge}} After rock sample from an asteroid went missing, Heatwave assumed one of the recruits had taken it. It later turned out that the rock was actually a small alien which had simply walked off his desk. {{storylink|About a Rock}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recruits attempted to keep a dog secret from Heatwave, but he inevitably found out and had them contact the dog&#039;s owner. It turned out the dog&#039;s name was also [[Heatwave (dog)|Heatwave]] and had been trying to get the recruits to rescue his other owner [[Frank Murphy]]. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Heatwave was overseeing the recruits in a simulation when Hot Shot fouled up again. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}} He, Boulder and Blades worked to prevent a flood in Griffin Rock while the recruits rescued townsfolk. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}} The recruits were too absorbed in the smartphones Boulder had assigned them to pay attention to Heatwave&#039;s lesson, resulting in them botching the rescue simulation he later had them do. {{storylink|Screen Time}} Heatwave took the recruits on a field trip to a museum in Milford, during which Whirl&#039;s contention that something was amiss paid off, and the team were able to catch a thief in the act. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:WhosTeachingWho student Heatwave.jpg|thumb|left|280px|Heatwave was never very good at &#039;&#039;fitting in&#039;&#039; while he was learning at his old Rescue Bot Academy.]]&lt;br /&gt;
During a mission to the &#039;&#039;Asgard&#039;&#039;, Heatwave and his team got trapped outside, necessitating the sending of the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; back to Earth so the recruits could come make an assist. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} Heatwave left the recruits with a list of chores when he and Cody joined the other Rescue Bots on an off-world mission. On his return, he was impressed with the results until he found the [[Scrub-A-Dubber]] in his office. {{storylink|All Washed Up}} When Heatwave&#039;s lesson bored the recruits, he suggested if they thought they could do better, they could be the teachers for the day. Though the results were variable, Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were able to employ what they&#039;d learned during a later rescue. {{storylink|Who&#039;s Teaching Who?}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While he had more business off-world, Heatwave assigned the recruits the task of retrieving a balloon from a tree in Milford. The tale he was told when he returned was rather more complicated than expected. {{storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}} Heatwave provided the recruits with a simulated dragon to deal with after discovering that Hoist was too distracted reading about the beasts. {{storylink|The Mystery of Dragon Mountain}} Heatwave introduced the recruits to their new teacher, [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]]. He later learned that Hoist had been trying to avoid Grimlock as he was afraid of Dinobots. {{Storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}} Heatwave gave Hoist permission to skip a trip to [[Wayward Island|Dino Island]]. He and the other teachers were away from the academy when a dinosaur got loose in it, leaving Hoist to have to deal with it. {{storylink|Dino Hard}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave assigned the recruits the task of retrieving a crashed top-secret satellite. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}} On [[Halloween]], Heatwave congratulated the recruits after they pulled off a rescue while trick or treating. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}} Heatwave was again absent from the base on another occasion, leaving Grimlock to do his digital paperwork. {{storylink|Monster Savings}} Heatwave assigned Hoist the task of looking after the experimental [[Virtual Sonic Fence]] and was later upset when the recruits became distracted by the tune used to unlock the device and failed an exercise. Once they got themselves together, he sent them on a mission to the planet [[Herboo]]. {{storylink|Tune Out}} Heatwave and Cody were dealing with a crashed ice cream truck when they had to go to the aid of Boulder and the recruits, who&#039;d stumbled on a nest of [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BestBotsForever1 Heatwave tows Grimlock.jpg|thumb|right|370px|How to Tow your Dinobot.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Increasingly irritated by the testing of Hoist&#039;s new comms system, Heatwave ordered the recruits to investigate why some animals were acting as which as it turned out, was because of the new comms system. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} Heatwave had the recruits try a simulation involving an ice wave to teach them that sometimes they had to pick their victories based on what was achievable. {{storylink|The Ice Wave}} Heatwave took part in a teachers vs students relay race, carrying Grimlock as a pretend rescue victim, and lost to Hot Shot when the recruit exploited the Dinobot&#039;s fear of cats. He was dismayed later when Hot Shot opted to drop out of the Academy the day before graduation to return to Cybertron. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} A space bridge malfunction caused by the students tampering with it resulted in Heatwave, Optimus, Cody and Chase becoming trapped in an expanding energon bubble. They were eventually freed by the recruits, and Heatwave&#039;s anger was cut short by the arrival of the Griffin Rock townsfolk. Graduation went ahead as planned. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between years, Heatwave had personal spaces set up for each of the five recruits, and showed them around when year two started. [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]&#039;s [[Aptitude Analyzer]] paired him with Hot Shot as a mentor. {{storylink|Back to School}} Said mentoring involved assigning Hot Shot a series of chores to do, which turned out to teach Hot Shot the skills necessary for a rescue the recruits had to carry out. {{storylink|In Training}} Heatwave took the recruits to visit Ratchet&#039;s lab on Cybertron and was stunned to learn Medix had been hiding a bat from him. {{storylink|Medix Steps Up To The Bat}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GreatEnergonRush Heatwave at desk.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Get in the Rescue Bot, Cody.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was perturbed to discover that the recruits had built a robotic suit for Cody. When he sent them to corral a rogue bull, the suit almost resulted in the situation ending in disaster, but instead it ended with Heatwave trying to wrangle the bull. {{storylink|Robo-Cody}} Heatwave assigned the recruits to the task of acting in Griffin Rock&#039;s Play in the Park. When Wedge confessed to having faked an injury to get out of it because a squirrel taunted him, Heatwave suggested maybe the squirrel was trying to tell him something else. {{storylink|Acting Out}} Heatwave approved [[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]] to join the Academy as a teacher. {{storylink|Need to Know}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was absent from the Academy for a number of days, and had Grimlock fill in for him. {{storylink|Trouble Cubed}} To recognize their good work, Heatwave let the recruits pick their favorite rescue simulation to do, and was confused when they decided to watch movies instead. {{storylink|My Favorite Rescue}} When Grimlock and Hoist found a lead on a possible energon cache, Heatwave approved a mission to go search but cautioned them to observe safety measures at all times. {{storylink|The Great Energon Rush}} Heatwave conducted a fire training exercise with Hot Shot. {{storylink|Wild Ghost Chase}} Heatwave attended the opening of the [[Museum of Future Tech Art]]. {{storylink|Museum Mystery}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]] and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] were trapped in a shrinking [[force field]] dome, Heatwave led the team of mentors and recruits to rescue them. {{storylink|Partners (RBA)|Partners}} Heatwave suggested Hot Shot give his new rescue tool a chance when the young Bot was disappointed with what the [[Sparksayer]] had given him. {{storylink|Power Up And Energize}} Heatwave attended the charity performance of the [[Griffin Rock Ballet School]]. {{storylink|Shall We Dance?}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BigWheels Heatwave and Hot Shot fire.jpg|thumb|right|300px|OK, so, let&#039;s start by going over the things you got right.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Optimus spurred Heatwave into action to try to help Hot Shot master his Mul-T-Cog, though it wasn&#039;t until the other recruits got involved that Hot Shot succeeded. {{storylink|Mul-T-Change of Pace}} Heatwave set up a test for Whirl&#039;s final deductive reasoning exam, disguising himself as a tree. Whirl saw through the disguise fairly easily. {{storylink|Five Little Rescue Bots}} When a series of technical malfunctions plagued the academy, Heatwave contacted Ratchet to get them fixed. {{storylink|Good Advice}} Hot Shot consulted Heatwave while trying to decide on a new alternate mode, however Heatwave had to come to his rescue when he started a fire at an abandoned rocket site. Hot Shot was so impressed with Heatwave&#039;s abilities in fire truck mode that he selected that for his new form. {{storylink|Big Wheels}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the recruits informed him of a distress signal they&#039;d detected in space, Heatwave sent them on their first solo off-world mission, giving them a rescue beacon for when they ran into trouble. He later responded to the rescue beacon and arrived in time to witness the reactivation of lost [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Citadel Secundus]]. {{storylink|The Empty City}} Heatwave took part in a &amp;quot;rescue-athon&amp;quot; partnered with Hot Shot. {{storylink|First Responder}} He sent the recruits to [[Australia]] in response to a distress signal, {{storylink|Brushfire (episode)|Brushfire}} and dispatched Whirl to take care of another distress call which turned out to be Scorch. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (episode)|The Ties That Bind}} Heatwave entered a classroom to find Ratchet and the recruits dancing like chickens, and slooooowly backed back out. {{storylink|Bot Blog}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:WizardOfBotz Heatwave head.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]&lt;br /&gt;
As Heatwave had to do repairs on the &#039;&#039;Asgard&#039;&#039;, he left the recruits in the care of Perceptor. The &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; vanished while he was prepping it for launch, as Medix had decided that the best plan to impress Perceptor would be to do the &#039;&#039;Asgard&#039;&#039; repairs himself. {{storylink|Medix Gets Schooled}} Heatwave sent the recruits out on a series of missions which led them to encounter a group of teens who were also mounting rescues. He later offered the teens the chance to train as first responders. {{storylink|Rescue Teens}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wizard in Whirl&#039;s dream appeared in the form of a giant holographic head resembling Heatwave. {{storylink|Wizard Of Botz}} After Heatwave assigned the recruits to carry out maintenance on the academy, he began seeing rabbits and cows passing through walls thanks to Hot Shot and Hoist screwing up repairs on Hero Hall. {{storylink|One Of Our Dragons Is Missing}} Responding to an emergency on Cybertron involving meteors heading towards [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], Heatwave was forced to leave [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]] and [[Snarl (FOC)|Snarl]] in charge of the academy. He returned assuming the place would be trashed, but instead the two Dinobots were &#039;&#039;cleaning&#039;&#039;. {{storylink|Dino-mite Duo}} Heatwave took the recruits to respond to a vague distress call from Citadel Secundus, though it turned out the Titan was just lonely. {{storylink|The Lonely Titan}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:XMarksTheBot Heatwave holokey.jpg|thumb|right|230px]]&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Finn O&#039;Reilly]] approached Heatwave with a [[holokey]] he&#039;d found, Heatwave enlisted the help of the recruits to join the pair on following the trail of breadcrumbs stored in the device. They eventually found a hidden cache of [[Tox-En]], hidden thousands of years earlier. {{storylink|X Marks The Bot}} Heatwave set up a series of tests to help the recruits learn when and when not to use their power up tools, even roping [[Jerry (RB)|Jerry]] into helping. {{Storylink|Powerless}} Heatwave was approached by Mayor Luskey to have the recruits monitor the upcoming charity concert by DJ Mechmaster. {{storylink|Griffin Rock Rocks!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave oversaw the recruits on their final test of year two, and afterwards announced they&#039;d get to have a party aboard Citadel Secundus. Unfortunately the party came to a halt when the Titan was struck by an asteroid which created an anti-energon field, putting Heatwave and the rest of the teaching staff into stasis lock. {{storylink|Space Party}} They were revived once Secundus was safely landed on Earth, and held the students&#039; graduation ceremony, during which Heatwave revealed that Secundus was becoming the Academy&#039;s new wing. {{storylink|Crash Of The Titan}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Heatwave transforms into a red and grey fire engine of likely fictitious origin. In keeping with the simple [[transformation scheme]] of the line, Heatwave transforms from vehicle mode to robot mode by simply pulling up the ladder and folding down the feet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to the placement of his ladder on his back, it is actually possible for the human figures to hitch a ride on Heatwave&#039;s back in robot mode; the rungs on the ladder are just thin enough to allow for one of their hands to slip around and the thumb on that hand to fit in the hollow area on the back of said rung.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure was redecoed for the [[#Rescue Bots: Energize|&#039;&#039;Energize&#039;&#039; toyline]], casting some parts in translucent blue plastic.

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Heatwave the Fire-Bot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Flip Changer, 2013)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A highly simplified version of Heatwave with show-accurate detailing. He transforms into a super-deformed fire engine—pulling out the lever on the rear of Heatwave&#039;s vehicle mode causes him to drive forwards before doing a frontwards flip to [[autotransformation|autotransform]] into robot mode, popping his head up and his arms outwards.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Heatwave the Fire-Bot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Rescan, 2014)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the first wave of the Rescan series, Heatwave is an all-new figure, featuring a spring-loaded transformation from show-accurate fireboat to robot, activated by his lightbar. As a boat, he does not have any wheels, nor does he have anything else to lift him off the surface of a table. He is therefore prone to paint wear on his wrist-mounted water cannons and the top of his faux chest window during play.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure shares engineering with the [[Hot Shot (Prime)#Hovercraft|hovercraft version of &#039;&#039;Rescue Bots Academy&#039;&#039; Hot Shot]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Hook &amp;amp; Ladder Heatwave&#039;&#039;&#039; (2016)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Trailer/gauntlet, water-blast projectile&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of a larger &amp;quot;deluxe&amp;quot; range of toys under the broader &#039;&#039;Playskool Heroes&#039;&#039; banner, Hook &amp;amp; Ladder Heatwave is a smaller, more show-like re-make of his original toy (in line with the &amp;quot;Rescan&amp;quot; assortment of his teammates), transforming from fire truck to robot and back with a single step triggered by swinging his truck-mode back end/leg down. He comes with a large trailer unit with a moving ladder rig equipped with a spring-loaded &amp;quot;water burst&amp;quot; launcher. The rig can transform into a gauntlet that kids (or adults with small arms) can wear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The package back calls out that Heatwave&#039;s back-ladder is removable and can be attached to the trailer, but it takes &#039;&#039;way&#039;&#039; too much force to do and doesn&#039;t feel like it&#039;s actually supposed to. Also, the ladder has been molded in a way that makes the tops of the steps incorrectly aligned when attached, causing them to face sideways.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The cab-robot was also included in the &amp;quot;[[Heatwave (RB)#4pack|Griffin Rock Rescue Team Set]]&amp;quot; in 2016, [[Heatwave (RB)#RescanCab|released singly]] in 2018, and [[#RBACab|re-released singly again as part of &#039;&#039;Rescue Bots Academy&#039;&#039;]], each time with no notable changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}{{anchor|4pack}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Griffin Rock Rescue Team Set&#039;&#039;&#039; (4-pack, 2016)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This box set contains the &amp;quot;[[Heatwave (RB)#Hook&amp;amp;Ladder|Hook &amp;amp; Ladder Heatwave]]&amp;quot; cab-robot minus the trailer unit, and the show-based &amp;quot;Rescan&amp;quot; versions of [[Boulder#RescanShow|Boulder]], [[Blades (RB)#RescanCopter|Blades]], and [[Chase (RB)#RescanCar|Chase]]. All four toys are identical to their individual releases (with the obvious exception of the missing trailer).&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Heatwave the Fire-Bot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Rescan, 2017)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the thirteenth wave of the Rescan series, Heatwave is another new body for the character which changes from robot to two-headed dragon and back in a single step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was later redecoed into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dinobot Adventures|Dinobot Adventures]]&#039;&#039; Dinobot Squad [[Predaking (Prime)#Dinobot Adventures|Predaking]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Heatwave the Fire-Bot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Rescan, 2018)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Yet another new body for the character released as part of the sixteenth wave of the Rescan series, this time changing into a race car in a single step. He seems to take a lot of the engineering from the Rescan [[MorBot]] figure, which is an extensive retool of [[Blurr (Prime)#Rescue Bots|Blurr]]. In 2019 [[#RBARescanRaceCar|he was re-released]] under [[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Rescue Bots Academy&#039;&#039; branding]] with no changes, and was also retooled with a new head and resculpted chest and legs, into the [[Whirl (RBA)#Racecar|race-car version of &#039;&#039;Rescue Bots Academy&#039;&#039; Whirl]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Whether by accident or design, this toy bears a resemblance to the [[:File:ABGaS-LuskeyBooth-robot.jpg|generic red robot]] seen adorning Mayor Luskey&#039;s booth in the episode &amp;quot;[[All Bots Great and Small]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For some reason, the stock photos and character art on his packaging show the...vents?...on either side of his cockpit being painted white instead of the unpainted red they ended up being in the final toy.&lt;br /&gt;

There are no notable differences compared to the two earlier releases. This figure was also later re-released in the [[#RBACab|&#039;&#039;Rescue Bots Academy&#039;&#039; toyline]] with no changes.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Heatwave the Rescue Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Mini Dino, 2014)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the first wave of the Mini Dinos series, Heatwave features autotransformation from &#039;&#039;Brontosaurus&#039;&#039; to robot. Pressing the blue panel on his beast mode back activates a mild headbutt gimmick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure is prone to internal breakage of the autotransforming mechanism if care is not taken when aligning the halves of the dinosaur head during transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Ladder&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the first wave of Mega Bots figures, Heatwave changes from a longer and larger version of his original fire truck alt-mode in a few easy steps. He features a removeable ladder with water cannons which can peg onto his arm or his back. His left arm has a flip-out capture claw. Additionally, he has 5mm compatible fist holes and his vehicle mode has several pegs for accommodating human figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His ladder uses a hexagonal link-up point that is also used for the cranes on both Rescue Rig and Megabot versions of [[High Tide]], as well as (strangely) the gasoline pump included with the Griffin Rock Garage set, making all of those parts interchangeable.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The team leader of the [[Rescue Bot]]s, &#039;&#039;&#039;Heatwave&#039;&#039;&#039; was given his position because of how deeply he cares for his team and their mission. However, he is a bot of action at heart who dreams of one day joining [[Team Prime]], and sometimes has little patience for anything he sees as getting in the way of his mission, including staying in disguise as non-sentient vehicles and working with [[human]] partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When he goes into action, though, no blaze is too strong for his armor. With built-in water cannons, a rescue hook, and a fireman&#039;s axe, he&#039;s well prepared to take on the most stubborn fires and most intense rescue missions. He partners with the other Rescue Bots and with their newest human teammates, [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Cody Burns]], though he and Kade are frequently at odds as their egos clash.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:PrimeAlert Heatwave rolls out.jpg|thumb|left|260px|]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was the leader of the Rescue Bot team on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. They received a message from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] to join him on [[Earth]], and immediately hopped in their spaceship. On arrival on the new planet, Optimus gave him a new alternate mode, a fire truck, and they headed for [[Griffin Rock]]. [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] accidentally chopped down a tree with his rotors, requiring some quick work by the rest of the team to prevent more damage. They finally reached their destination, where Optimus introduced them to [[Charlie Burns|Chief Charlie]]. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Roll Out}} Heatwave&#039;s first mission was to go to the [[Fire Safety Training Center]] for training, and there he rescued a cat and extinguished a fire. He soon after received an emergency alert from [[Fire Station Prime|Prime Fire Station]], and rushed back across town to find the station on fire. After rescuing Chief Charlie and [[Cody Burns]], he and Cody became partners, and were assigned the important task of giving [[Sparkplug (RB)|Sparkplug]] a bath. {{storylink|Prime Alert}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the team at the station were joined by Blades, the two Rescue Bots and Cody headed out to another emergency, however Blades&#039;s radio was damaged, making it difficult for Heatwave to give him orders. While Heatwave battled the forest fire, Blades accidentally fanned the fire with his rotors until Heatwave and Cody were able to shoo him away. Blades discovered where his partner and the other endangered humans were, and led Heatwave to them. Heatwave and Cody were able to finish putting out the fire, and returned to Prime Fire Station covered in soot. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Respond}} [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Boulder]] later arrived at the station to complete the team, and Heatwave and Blades were there to welcome them. {{storylink|Rapid Rescue}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:UnfinishedBusiness protoHeatwave.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rock Em&#039; Sock Em&#039; Rescue Bot.]]&lt;br /&gt;
On Cybertron, Heatwave was a three time [[Cybertronian sport#Lobbing|Lobbing]] champion. {{storylink|Road Trip}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave and his team were finishing a routine patrol in space when they received a distress call. Investigating, they found they&#039;d been marked as lunch by an [[Energon eater]], and had to put themselves in stasis and power down their ship to escape it. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} Sometime later, the &#039;&#039;[[Sigma]]&#039;&#039; received a transmission from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and landed on [[Earth]]. After dropping the bombshell that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was no more, Optimus appointed Heatwave team leader and assigned them to [[Griffin Rock]] to work with the Burns family. The four Rescue Bots were presented to the public by [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] at a ceremony, following which Heatwave and his new partner, [[Kade Burns]], drove to the [[Griffin Rock natural history museum|museum]] to attend to a fire. Heatwave was disgruntled when Kade took the credit for his saving Chief Burns and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] from a falling dinosaur statue head. That night, [[Cody Burns]] discovered the Rescue Bots&#039; secret, and after they helped stop a rogue robot &#039;&#039;Tyrannosaurus rex&#039;&#039;, Chief Burns revealed the truth to the rest of the team. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Heatwave roll to the rescue.jpg|thumb|left|350px|My head looks nothing like my toy, that&#039;s how much of a rebel I am!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave and Kade continued having trouble working together, with Kade even preferring to drive a non-transforming firetruck. After [[Mount Magma]] started spewing lava and threatening the island, the pair were forced to work together, driving through a tunnel under the island to stop the lava from reaching the bunker under the fire station. {{storylink|Under Pressure}} Following the rescue of [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]], Heatwave felt under-appreciated by the humans. He was amused when [[Dani Burns|Dani]] fitted a scoop claw to [[Blades (RB)|Blades]], but less so when the pair started upstaging the other Rescue Bots at rescues, and even threatened to forcibly remove the device from his comrade. Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots came to Blades&#039;s rescue when he was struck by lightning and unable to fly, after which Dani sent some appreciation their way and Blades promised not to use the claw as much. {{storylink|Hotshots}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Heatwave with children.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Urge to kill...rising...]]&lt;br /&gt;
After another rescue of Doc Greene, Heatwave was still disgruntled and refused to take part in the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]], instead staying back at the fire station to watch it on TV. When the town was attacked by [[flobster]]s, he ventured out to help the other Rescue Bots fight the flying critters, resulting in him later having to endure being climbed on by children. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}} Following the rescue of a truck of hazardous materials, Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were subjected to a screening of &#039;&#039;[[The Natives of Tatooie]]&#039;&#039;, which accidentally resulted in [[Huxley Prescott]] causing a mass panic by reporting an alien invasion. The Rescue Bots had to destroy Prescott&#039;s [[SETI]] dish to save the island. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave&#039;s attempt to stop [[Harrison (RB)|Mr. Harrison]]&#039;s heli-pack ride with water only resulted in an umbrella shop being flooded. When [[Boulder]] was taken over by nanites, Heatwave threatened to physically intervene, though Blades suspected Boulder would come out on top in that match-up. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Called out about a cat in a tree, Heatwave saved [[Neederlander|Mrs. Neederlander]] when she fell out of a tree, and was rewarded with a slap in the face. The next day, he helped hunt a [[Whiskers|lion]] and return a bunch of lemurs to the [[Griffin Rock Zoo|zoo]]. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}} When a rescue went wrong, Heatwave managed to fish Kade and [[Don|another human]] out of a river using his fire hose. Cody roped the Rescue Bots, including &amp;quot;Uncle Heatwave&amp;quot;, into helping him look after a [[Robo-Baby]]. The Robo-Baby seemed to like Heatwave best of all. After the baby went missing during a call-out, the bots had to rescue it from a wind farm. Heatwave caught it in mid-air after it fell from a windmill. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DeepTrouble Heatwave jumps shark.jpg|thumb|left|290px|&amp;quot;Just keep swimming...just keep swimming...&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
During a heatwave, Heatwave did not appreciate being used as a sprinkler. When a weather machine went out of control, he and the other Rescue Bots had to spring into action attending snow-related emergencies around town. {{storylink|Christmas in July}} Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were invited on the Burns&#039; annual fishing trip on the &#039;&#039;[[Darby Ava]]&#039;&#039;. Heatwave didn&#039;t really get the whole fishing thing until they encountered a [[shark submarine|mechanical shark]] and he got to wrestle it. He, [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and Boulder eventually managed to disable the sub, though it self-destructed soon after. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RB)|Deep Trouble}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Rescue Bots had to help stop out-of-control technology one foggy day, when the Griffin Rock mainframe was hacked into. Heatwave had to rescue the mayor from the town hall when a garbage truck trapped him inside. {{storylink|Return of the Dino Bot}} When [[Doctor Morocco]] turned up with his [[MorBot]] and threatened to overshadow the Rescue Bots, the team was forced to compete with the doctor&#039;s invention to prove themselves worthy. Thanks to Morocco&#039;s machinations, they failed and were stood down from service. Heatwave was particularly angry at the loss. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} Accepting defeat, he attempted to make contact with Optimus Prime to get reassigned and considered getting their ship working again. After being called out to a fire at the lab, the Rescue Bots got the chance to exact some payback on the MorBot. The team was subsequently reinstated as Griffin Rock&#039;s rescue service. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SmallBlessings Kade rescues Hayley.jpg|thumb|right|260px|Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.]]&lt;br /&gt;
After helping Kade rescue [[Hayley]], a girl Kade was interested in, Heatwave was annoyed by Kade blowing him off to go on a date. When he and the rest of the team turned up to a break-in at the [[Hall of Inspiration]], Heatwave was forced to protect Kade and as a result was shrunk to the size of an ant by the [[Minimizer]]. He was joined by the similarly shrunken Boulder and Blades, and the trio ended up in the sewer. After braving huge rats and a torrent of water, they made it to the [[Griffin Rock dam]], where they rescued Kade and alerted the rest of the team to the fact that the dam was near bursting. Cody later used the Minimizer to return them to their normal sizes. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} Heatwave helped save [[Wild (RB)|Captain Wild]]&#039;s ship and found &amp;quot;tunnel 15&amp;quot; in the tunnels below Griffin Rock. This led the team to discover [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Midgard]]&#039;&#039; at the bottom of an ocean trench, and they helped her seal the methane vent causing the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]]. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the daring rescue of Huxley Prescott by the four bots, Chief left them with Kade in charge, however when they got an apparent SOS from Cody and Kade was unable to be contacted, Heatwave made the decision to disobey the Chief&#039;s orders and venture into [[Griffin Crest]]. He, Blades and Boulder were subsequently caught by the [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] field there and immobilized on top of [[Old Parker]], necessitating a rescue by Chase and the human half of the team. He was forced to concede that sticking to the rules sometimes worked. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}} Heatwave and the other three Bots were washed out to sea with Cody and ended up on an inhabited island. Their attempts to build him shelter and gather food were less than successful, but they did manage to find traces of the &#039;&#039;[[Oaken Crow]]&#039;&#039;, which led to them finding the ship and getting off the island. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:YouveBeenSquilshed Heatwave wields telephone pole.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Heatwave doesn&#039;t just throw javelins, he throws &#039;&#039;electrified&#039;&#039; javelins!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Chasing a crashed meteorite on [[Wayward Island]], the team ran into [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. Heatwave, Boulder and Chase checked out the meteorite and were unwittingly exposed to an alien virus. They slowly lost the ability to move or speak, and it was only through the work of Bumblebee, Blades and the humans that a cure was found. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}} Heatwave and the team were called out to deal with a giant rampaging blob of space slime. He was particularly incensed when it ate Chase, and though his water didn&#039;t help stop the blob, he found zapping it with electricity did, and the discovery ultimately led to the [[Squilsh]]&#039;s defeat. {{storylink|You&#039;ve Been Squilshed}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After most of the town disappeared, Heatwave and the other Bots found themselves fighting small mechanical bugs. He took Cody, [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] and Kade to the lab so they could check the information on the computer there, but after all three of them vanished as well, it was up to Heatwave and his team to work out where the humans had been teleported to. After locating the cavern in question, they were able to rescue the townsfolk. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}} When Griffin Rock was infested by what appeared to be ghosts, Heatwave was mostly just frustrated that he couldn&#039;t hit them. When they turned out to just be holograms, he took great delight in catching the perpetrators by hosing them down to work out which were the real humans. {{storylink|The Haunting of Griffin Rock}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ShakeUp Heatwave protects Frankie.jpg|thumb|right|280px|If he slips and falls, Heatwave&#039;d have a &#039;&#039;looot&#039;&#039; of explaining to do about the red stain on his windscreen.]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Kade challenged Graham to a race, Heatwave did the driving and ended up demolishing a fire hydrant. After Chase and the Chief went missing, Heatwave and the others searched all night for them, eventually tracking them down to the lead mine where the team had to rescue them. {{storylink|Little White Lies}} Heatwave was annoyed when Kade ordered the Bots to take part in Frankie&#039;s film for school. The Bots soon had problems attending to an earthquake and acting like robots at the same time, but when Frankie followed them into the tunnels under the town, Heatwave had to come rescue her from a cave-in. In the process of doing so, he had to drop his cover, but she was passed out and didn&#039;t notice. {{storylink|Shake Up}} After Heatwave took part in a rescue at a pyrotechnics factory, Cody got a [[repulsor badge]] that gave him superhero powers. The Bots ended up being relegated to cleanup, at least until the badge overloaded and they had to rescue Cody from a bubble of energy. {{storylink|Rescue Boy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was roped into taking part in a photo op with Kade. When the four bots attended the testing of a [[Temporal Station|time machine]], he sheltered Cody and Frankie, and thus when the four Bots were propelled back in time to [[1939]], so were the kids. Heatwave had the rest of his team keep up the pretense of being robots, and they were subjected to a number of tests before Morocco pinned them to a wall and prepared to dissect them. Luckily Optimus and Bumblebee came to their rescue, and the team returned to the present, only to find that Morocco was in control of Griffin Rock. {{storylink|It&#039;s a Bot Time}} They soon established that leaving [[Dither]] in the past was a mistake. After an encounter with an alternate version of the Burns family, the Rescue Bots returned to 1939 and retrieved Dither, returning the timeline to normal. {{storylink|Bot to the Future}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RoadTrip Heatwave vs bear.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Man, those Junior Woodchuck roaring lessons came in real handy!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave soon learned to drive the newly-acquired [[Mobile Headquarters]], using it to stop a speeding driver. An incident with Doc Greene&#039;s [[Vacuum Accelerator]] resulted in the Mobile HQ and three of the Rescue Bots being teleported around the island. After a stop atop [[Mount Griffin]], Heatwave threw the device away, only to find they needed it to rescue Kade from the forest. {{storylink|Road Trip}} The Rescue Bots helped construct Frankie Greene&#039;s [[Sky Forest (structure)|Sky Forest]], only to have to rescue the town&#039;s citizens when the plant life grew out of control. {{storylink|Sky Forest (episode)|Sky Forest}} When Chief Burns was ill, Heatwave had to contend with Kade appointing himself head honcho, and Cody being accidentally aged into an adult in a lab experiment. He helped track down Evan and Myles, and was amused when Kade was temporarily de-aged into a child by the equipment they&#039;d stolen. {{storylink|One for the Ages}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When an iceberg was discovered that was actually a frozen [[S.S. Isolde|ship]] carrying a dangerous [[Sub-Zero Expander]], Heatwave took part in an attempt to get rid of the device by blowing it up, which was aborted when it turned out Doctor Morocco had claimed the vessel as salvage. The team had to deal with the fallout when the device exploded and froze a five-mile section of ocean. {{storylink|Tip of the Iceberg}} After the Bots saved a skier when a huge snow storm hit Griffin Rock, Heatwave scolded Blades for not helping him evade an avalanche. When Blades and Cody got trapped in &#039;&#039;[[Griffin Rock Element Quest]]&#039;&#039;, a new virtual reality game in the Hall of Inspiration, Heatwave made sure the power didn&#039;t go out by holding two electrical lines together, which caused him to be temporarily dazed after being electrocuted. He later entered the game himself and was surprised to see that Blades was protecting Cody very well. He helped the two defeat the game and was teleported out. Heatwave later commended Blades for his courage. {{storylink|A Virtual Disaster}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BlameTheGremlins Heatwave tells off Kade.jpg|thumb|right|250px|If one of you fed those things after midnight, we&#039;re &#039;&#039;gonna have a bad time!&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was confused and irritated by Kade ignoring emergency calls about fires, until he was hypnotized by one of the cellphones which were bringing the island&#039;s inhabitants under their control. Heatwave was forced to dig up [[Blossom Vale]] until the cell tower was destroyed. {{storylink|Spellbound}} Huxley Prescott roped the rescue team into taking part in a reality show, but started manufacturing his emergencies to make the show more exciting. As a result, Heatwave ran out of water to fight a forest fire, and had to use maple syrup instead. {{storylink|Prescott&#039;s Bots}} When Kade&#039;s nightmares about [[gremlin]]s started affecting his work, Heatwave told him to deal with them. Unfortunately this ended with the team having to face a horde of [[gremlin]]s, conjured from Kade&#039;s nightmares by Doc Greene&#039;s [[Nightmare Imaging Device]]. {{storylink|Blame the Gremlins}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a monster was spotted during a star-gazing expedition with Cody, Heatwave was doused with skunk smell. He and the other Rescue Bots helped Cody hunt for the beast, resulting in an encounter with it at an old cannery. It transpired that the &amp;quot;Magic Meat&amp;quot; that [[H.B. Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] had been selling was [[Fo-Foo]], an experimental food with lycanthropic side effects, and the team had to track down Luskey and Graham who were both infected. {{storylink|Feed the Beast}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SpaceBots Heatwave flying in space.jpg|thumb|left|280px|Y&#039;know, that scene in WALL-E was so much more &#039;&#039;effective&#039;&#039; with a partner.]]&lt;br /&gt;
During a visit by [[Woodrow Burns]], Heatwave realized a photo he&#039;d taken of a cavern showed [[energon]], and alerted Optimus. Once Optimus arrived to help mine the energon, the mission instead turned into a rescue, as Woodrow and Cody had become trapped in a cavern deep underground. {{storylink|What Lies Below}} Separated from the rest of the team, Optimus and Heatwave discovered the main shaft of Mount Magma, and nearby, a sizable deposit of energon. When they were later reunited with the rest of the team, they were able to ignite the energon in a plan to blast themselves out of the top of the volcano. Optimus later farewelled the Rescue Bots, informing Heatwave that he should prepare for greater responsibility some time soon. {{storylink|What Rises Above}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the launch of the &#039;&#039;[[Asgard]]&#039;&#039; and its collision with an asteroid, Heatwave and the team had to intercept debris falling on the town. The Rescue Bots fired up their spaceship and went up to rescue the crew of the &#039;&#039;Asgard&#039;&#039;, with Heatwave himself jumping over to the space elevator and retrieving Doc Greene and Graham. {{storylink|Space Bots}} When the team had to deal with a [[mechanical bull]], they discovered it was made hostile by Heatwave&#039;s red color scheme. They managed to get it to the laboratory where Cody was accidentally sent with it to the [[Island of Misfit Tech]]. Heatwave volunteered to travel there, but quickly lost his recall tag and ended up fighting metal-eating insects until Cody came to the rescue with the help of the mechanical bull. Joined by Kade, the trio were able to return to Griffin Rock in time to help deal with a Scrapmaster. {{storylink|The Island of Misfit Tech}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BuddySystem Heatwave and snake.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Alright, who&#039;s the wiseguy who tried to replace my hose with a live snake?!]]&lt;br /&gt;
The town&#039;s new central computer [[Vigil]] was unable to control the four Rescue Bots, so when it attempted to take control of Griffin Rock, the Bots were able to get the rest of the team into its vault to stop it. {{storylink|The Vigilant Town}} Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots went along on a nature hike, however when the hike was interrupted by a snake infestation in town, Heatwave was forced to put up with Kade and Dani bickering and discovered he had a particular dislike of snakes. {{storylink|Buddy System}} Heatwave, Blades and Boulder accompanied Graham and Cody to Wayward Island, where they discovered a lodestone super-magnet that was causing metal objects to be pulled towards it all the way from Griffin Rock. {{storylink|In Search of the Griffin&#039;s Nest}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Changes Heatwave as boat.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Sooo, does this make me a Triple-Changer?]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Chase appeared to join Evan and Myles during a crime spree by the pair, Heatwave believed that he&#039;d switched sides. It later turned out Chase had merely gone undercover to learn the pair&#039;s plan, though as Heatwave later pointed out, he should have let them know. {{storylink|Bots and Robbers}} Following the rescue of a dog, Heatwave was confused by the concept of dog ownership, until [[Noble (RB)|Noble]] turned out to be a capable rescuer who joined the Rescue Bots in their work. {{storylink|Rescue Dog}} Called to the mainland by Optimus Prime, Heatwave received additional training, allowing him to focus his energies in preparation to take on a third mode. As he and Kade headed back to Griffin Rock, he ended up scanning a sunken fire boat in order to come to the aid of the rest of the team. {{storylink|Changes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a sea rescue Heatwave took part in resulted in everyone&#039;s midwinter holiday presents sinking to the bottom of the ocean, Heatwave and the rest of the team took on the mantle of the [[Rider of Midwinter]] and delivered loaves of bread to the townsfolk. {{storylink|The Riders of Midwinter}} When a [[Power Planter]] was struck by lightning and ran wild, the team was forced to respond to a number of emergencies caused by it. They eventually succeeded in luring it into a trap using [[Boil Coil]]s and Heatwave tricked it into driving off a cliff. {{storylink|Movers and Shakers}} During Chief Burns&#039;s absence from the island, the team found itself under Woodrow&#039;s leadership. {{storylink|Chief Woodrow}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the other Rescue Bots prepared for Bumblebee&#039;s visit, Heatwave utilized his new boat mode to help Cody and Frankie test Doc Greene&#039;s new [[Ski-neakers]], and rescued the pair when a wave threatened them. Bumblebee turned out to be on the hunt for a relic, and Heatwave helped in the search. Afterwards he and Kade helped rescue people when a right whale sank the ferry. {{storylink|Odd Bot Out}} The rescue team was roped into completing a rail tunnel to the mainland, mainly because Mayor Luskey regarded the Bots as heavy machinery. When the [[Griffin Rock Express]] went out of control, the Bots had to rescue everyone on board, with the help of Frankie and her phasing technology. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Express}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:OddBotOut Heatwave rescues Chase.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Heatwave&#039;s attempt at wearing a feather boa didn&#039;t quite go as planned.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Following a game of [[Rescue Ball]] which was interrupted by an impromptu rescue, Chase and the others found that Blades was acting strangely. They discovered why when they were abducted by Dr. Morocco and replaced by duplicates as Blades had been earlier. Morocco erased their memories and convinced them he had been appointed their Earth liaison by Optimus Prime. The Rescue Bots were promptly sent on a mission to mine gold under Griffin Rock, which barely got started before they trigged a methane explosion, and were confronted by the &amp;quot;criminal&amp;quot; Burns family. {{storylink|Double Villainy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The suspicious Bots were taken back to the fire house, where the evidence soon convinced them that the Burns family was on their side and they&#039;d been misled by Morocco. Unfortunately the methane explosion cause the island to begin to sink, and given the choice between helping out or regaining their memories, the Bots chose the former option, though at least Heatwave was restored to his position as team leader. With the help of some tech from Doc Greene, the team was able to raise the island once again, and Morocco was forced to restore their memories. {{storylink|Rise of the Heroes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During a routine inspection by Optimus, Heatwave led his team to Wayward Island to investigate a pterodactyl appearance. The Rescue Bots found a group of dinosaurs which chased them into a tar pit, and they had to be rescued by Optimus Prime. Once they established what the dinosaurs were upset about, the team was able to get them to return to the underground cavern they&#039;d come from. {{storylink|Land Before Prime (episode)|Land Before Prime}} When Optimus was abducted by big game hunter [[Quint Quarry]], Heatwave, Chase and Blades headed to Quarry&#039;s island to mount a rescue. The hunter managed to trap them in a cage and was about to take them off the island in his heli-jet when Optimus and Boulder came to their aid. {{storylink|Big Game}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TooManyKades Heatwave buffs himself.jpg|thumb|left|260px|Where&#039;s [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] when you need him?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Kade&#039;s obnoxious behavior led Heatwave to &amp;quot;accidentally&amp;quot; soak him while the team was rounding up clones of Mister Pettypaws created by the Imaging Device. Shortly thereafter another test of the device resulted int the creation of four more Kades, and Heatwave was amused when the Kades argued amongst themselves, though not so much when their squabbling almost caused an accident. The Kades later saved Heatwave and the rest of the team from a gas leak. {{storylink|Too Many Kades}} The team was sent ten years forward in time when they boarded the &#039;&#039;[[S.S. Phantom Voyager]]&#039;&#039;, however Boulder and Graham were able to reverse the time machine stored in the ship&#039;s hold, returning them to present day. {{storylink|Phantom of the Sea}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave related the story of the Energon eater to Cody one story night. Following a flooding disaster, Heatwave allowed Chase and Boulder to go into space to attempt to help the stricken ship that had sent out the original distress call, and had to attempt to cover for the pair in their absence. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} After the town was sealed inside an energy dome by Vigil, Heatwave and the others pursued the AI to try to beat it to the dome controls in the lab, but both Heatwave and Boulder ended up stuck under old cars in the scrapyard. {{storylink|No Place Like Dome}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BotTasticVoyage Heatwave sits on sofa.jpg|thumb|right|280px|...Where&#039;s the remote?]]&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to helping Graham with his love life, Heatwave and the rest of the team had to deal with mutant metal-eating army ants courtesy of Doctor Morocco. {{storylink|Bugs in the System}} During a trip on the space elevator Asgard, Heatwave switched bodies with Kade, allowing him to experience the delights of toothaches and human dentistry. He was very relieved when they got switched back. {{storylink|Switcheroo}} When Kade accidentally ingested [[scrubmite]]s, Heatwave and the rest of the team were shrunk to microscopic size and flew the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; into his body to deal with the critters. Heatwave had fun roping the mites, but when they were forced to strap them to the hull of the ship, he had to prevent them escaping before the ship could leave Kade&#039;s body. {{storylink|Bot-Tastic Voyage}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following Professor Baranova&#039;s abduction at the hands of Colonel Quarry, Heatwave scanned a &#039;&#039;Brachiosaurus&#039;&#039; alternate mode so that he and the others, including Optimus, could masquerade as the Dino-bots Quarry wanted Doc Greene to build. They were taken to an island by Quarry and put through their paces, before he took them to a boat so he could ship them off to be sold. Luckily Blades, who&#039;d been having trouble with his alternate mode, was able to rescue them and Quarry was arrested. {{Storylink|Quarry&#039;s Quarry}} The team visited Wayward Island to search for an energon trace. They found only a caveman frozen in ice, who turned out to be still alive once he was thawed back in Griffin Rock. While the others helped &amp;quot;[[Ira]]&amp;quot; acclimate, Heatwave and Blades returned to Wayward Island and found cave paintings depicting Autobots in the caveman&#039;s era. {{storylink|Did You See What I Thaw?}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AttackOfHumungado Dino Heatwave.jpg|thumb|left|250px|No, Heatwave, that&#039;s what a &#039;&#039;llama&#039;&#039; does! You&#039;re a &#039;&#039;Brontosaurus&#039;&#039;!]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Doc Greene&#039;s new projector was used to screen &#039;&#039;[[Humungado|Attack of Humungado]]&#039;&#039;, Heatwave ended up using his dinosaur mode to help combat Humungado and his rival Rayvenous when it turned out the projector made them more realistic then Doc had planned...by bringing the two kaiju into the real world. {{storylink|The Attack of Humungado}} The mayor decided to honor the rescue team by holding [[Bot Appreciation Week]]; however, a clash in schedules resulted in the Burns family being off the island for the start. The Rescue Bots found they had to contend with the souvenir versions of themselves running amok thanks to Evan and Myles reprogramming them. {{storylink|All Bots Great and Small}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Cody began experiencing repeated time, his foreknowledge allowed the rescue team to prevent a number of disasters and mishaps during the dedication of the town&#039;s new clock tower. {{storylink|Time After Time}} When the mayor accidentally set fire to Founders&#039; Day, Heatwave and Kade put it out, but the indignant mayor suspended the team on account of the fact that the Burns family was descended from a pirate. A series of clues led the team to find the treasure and they were able to persuade the mayor to reinstate them. {{storylink|Pirates Ahoy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After being rescued from a whirlpool by [[High Tide]], Heatwave found himself and his team placed under the new Autobot&#039;s command for some water training. Chafing under High Tide&#039;s command, Heatwave eventually snapped and quit the training, but later led the operation to secure an oil spill. After the successful securing of the spill, High Tide accepted he&#039;d been too harsh on the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Turning the Tide}} During a visit by the time traveler [[Jules Verne]], Heatwave helped apprehend Dr. Morocco. He was surprised to learn that Verne had met him on another occasion which hadn&#039;t yet happened for Heatwave. {{storylink|The Last of Morocco}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RescueBotsAcademy Heatwave shouts at Blurr.jpg|thumb|right|280px|&amp;quot;One o&#039; these days, Blurr, one o&#039; these days: &#039;&#039;POW!!&#039;&#039; Straight to Cybertron!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
After the Rescue Bots found [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]] and [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] on Wayward Island, Optimus assigned the pair to be trained by Heatwave&#039;s team. Heatwave was unimpressed with the brash Blurr beating him in a race by cheating, and bungling a rescue, and even less so when it turned out Blurr had been lying about his past, but Optimus convinced him to give Blurr another chance. {{storylink|The New Recruits}} Heatwave grew ever more frustrated with Blurr&#039;s lack of progress, especially when Blurr botched a rescue and then took a joyride through town and almost exposed the Rescue Bots&#039; secret, leading Heatwave to tell Chief he was going to contact Optimus to get rid of Blurr. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy (episode)|Rescue Bots Academy}} He was even less impressed when Blurr stole the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039;, leaving the rescue team with a big problem when a solar flare knocked out the town&#039;s power. After Blurr saved the town from a falling satellite, Heatwave was more disposed to giving him another chance, though Optimus reassigned Blurr and Salvage elsewhere anyway. {{storylink|A New Hero}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Servo appeared to be causing damage around town, Heatwave conceded that they might need to send the dog back to High Tide, however it turned out Servo had actually been helping people, and Heatwave changed his mind. {{storylink|Four-Legged Hero}} Heatwave opted out of guard duties when Boulder found a family of endangered woodpeckers. He was proven right when the Rescue Bots activities resulted in the town finding out about the birds and damaging their habitat. {{storylink|Endangered Species}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Chase was put in charge of dispatch due to an injury, Heatwave was unimpressed with him raising several false alarms. Once Chase solved a mystery and saved [[Maura the Magnificent]] from going over [[Griffin Falls]], Heatwave declared him fit for duty again. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RB)|More than Meets the Eye}} When Doc Greene&#039;s [[Tone-O-Tuner]] caused everyone in town to sing instead of talk, Heatwave refused to say anything until there was an emergency at the town hall. To his relief, they found and shut down the Tone-O-Tuner. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave continued to grow discontent that the people they saved thought they were mere robots. He and the other Rescue Bots took part in the opening of a time capsule, during which a quantum crystal mishap resulted in the entire island being teleported to the [[Arctic]]. The four Bots had to deice the generators so that the island&#039;s dome could be raised. {{storylink|Now and Then}} Heatwave had to rescue Blades and Dani after they made an attempt to go for help. As the team enacted a plan to fill the dome with floatium and fly the island back, the Rescue Bots had their work cut out keeping people safe. The journey continued, but the Rescue Bots were forced to use their own energon to power the dome. They successfully reached Griffin Rock&#039;s old location, and after some medical attention, the Rescue Bots recovered. Optimus then gave them a new mission: to let the rest of the town in on their secret. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:NewNormal keeping Kade for later.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Heatwave finds the Velgrox&#039;s fetish disturbing.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Three years on, Heatwave had still not let the team reveal themselves out of worry that the townsfolk would react badly. He finally succeeded in contacting Optimus and received orders to build a new mainland base, though the fact that they would need to work with the humans still didn&#039;t change his mind. Finally an invasion by the [[Velgrox]] forced his hand. {{storylink|New Normal}} He quickly became discontent with the new attention he and the others were receiving, opting to test the new [[GroundBridge]] rather than prepare for a town meeting. After accidentally ending up in the [[Sahara]], he and the rest of the team fronted up to the townfolk, who voted to keep their secret. {{storylink|Bridge Building}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An attempt at racing with Blades resulted in Heatwave accidentally demolishing [[Cullen|Mr. Cullen]]&#039;s rocket. As a result Heatwave decided the team would focus on their duties rather than pursuing their own pastimes. Another GroundBridge accident sent him and Chase to the mainland, and resulted in them bringing a car back to the island who later turned out to be the Rescue Bot [[Quickshadow]]. {{storylink|Arrivals}} Irritated by Quickshadow lecturing them and defeating him in a sparring match, Heatwave placed her in charge of an operation to move [[Phodolite]] through town. The mission hit a snag when the Heatwave lost part of the load, resulting in the team having to use Chase&#039;s plan B when Quickshadow didn&#039;t have one. {{storylink|Plus One (RB)|Plus One}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:VanishingReturns digital Heatwave.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Heatwave Icarus?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Following a mishap in which the town pool froze over, the team visited the [[Griffin Rock Fun Zone|Fun Zone]] where Heatwave joined Chief, Cody and Frankie in a round of &#039;&#039;Element Quest&#039;&#039;, only to discover it had been invaded by the [[Morocco virus]]. {{storylink|Back to Virtual Reality}} When investors were looking at redeveloping the island, the Rescue Bots used Velgrox technology to make themselves invisible and pretend to be ghosts to scare them off. {{storylink|Vanishing Returns}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The team took part in [[Halloween|Earliween]] celebrations, and also came up with a plan to foil Evan and Myles when the pair tried to carnap Quickshadow. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (RB)|Ghost in the Machine}} When Whiskers was abducted from the zoo, the Rescue Bots used their dino modes as bait to lure big game hunter [[Thurston Chumley|Lord Chumley]]. Though they themselves were captured, they made the most of their situation, both finding Whiskers and bringing the rest of the team to help arrest Chumley. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RB)|Enemy of My Enemy}} When the opportunity came up, Heatwave was in favor of Chase running for mayor to prove that the Bots were equal in the community to humans. He soon changed his mind after Chase actually took office and the changes he made interfered with the Rescue Team doing their job. {{storylink|Mayor May Not}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PartTimeHeroes Heatwave traffic duty.jpg|thumb|left|290px|Heatwave discovers the worst part of being a public official on Earth; &#039;&#039;traffic duty&#039;&#039;.]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Boulder wanted to celebrate [[All Spark Day (event)|All Spark Day]], Heatwave believe they should stick to the holidays celebrated in their new home. After dealing with a water rescue and a giant-sized [[CeCe Greene]], the Bots found the whole town had decided to celebrate All Spark Day, and Heatwave acted as a substitute for the energon fountain. {{storylink|All Spark Day (episode)|All Spark Day}} When the town&#039;s communications tower required replacing, the team took on second jobs — Heatwave helped Kade entertain children&#039;s parties. The townsfolk later chipped in with enough cash to replace the tower. {{storylink|Part-Time Heroes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the day finally came to open the mainland [[Rescue Bot Training Center]], Heatwave found himself having to dial the others back with the partying. After the building was transformed, he attempted to return to Griffin Rock with Cody, only to discover that the GroundBridge was malfunctioning. {{storylink|The More Things Change...}} He, Kade and Cody were assigned the task of repairing the center&#039;s holographic cloak, and with Blades&#039;s help, managed to do so before the base could be discovered. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:OnceUponATime Heatwave busts out.jpg|thumb|right|280px|Heatwave hates it in [[Jurassic Park]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
During a series of motor races, the Bots had to first deal with a collapsing stand full of spectators, and then with runaway racers thanks to an errant invention. {{storylink|Hot Rod Bot}} Heatwave accompanied Blades, Chief and Dani to [[Africa]] when Woodrow Burns appeared to need help, and ended up helping a family of gorillas survive baboons and an erupting volcano. {{storylink|King Burns}} During the town&#039;s Pizza Pi Party, the team had to deal with a rapidly-expanding monster mound of pizza dough. {{storylink|Pizza Pi Party}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While running practice drills in the Training Center, the team had to save a Cybertronian ship that crash-landed. When it turned out Bumblebee was on board, the Rescue Bots took him on a tour of the center, however Heatwave and Chase were attacked and knocked out by an energon eater than had come down with the craft. Once it was captured, the others revived them. {{storylink|Uninvited Guest}} When Blades, Graham and Cody uncovered [[Chickadee]]&#039;s operation to find some lost gems, the rest of the team managed to apprehend her. {{storylink|Camp Cody}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave and Kade accompanied Cody and Frankie into the woods to make a delivery to Mrs. Neederlander, only to find themselves having to search for her. After finding her and briefly being trapped in a cave, the group managed to meet up with the rest of the team. {{storylink|Once Upon a Time}} After an attempt to drill Blurr on rescuing was less than successful, Heatwave and the rest of the team found themselves having to deal with the escaped [[Mini-Con]] [[Bounce]] and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], a member of Bumblebee&#039;s team. {{storylink|The Need for Speed}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TheNeedForSpeed Heatwave water knuckles.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Who needs knuckle &#039;&#039;dusters&#039;&#039; when you can have knuckle &#039;&#039;blasters&#039;&#039;?]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Madeline Pynch got hold of a chunk of Energon, the rescue team put into action a plan to recover the Energon and arrest Pynch. Heatwave (under the code name &#039;&#039;&#039;Thunder&#039;&#039;&#039;) and Chief were dropped into Pynch&#039;s compound by Blades, and managed to find Pynch&#039;s hoarded tech before she caught them, though they escaped having their memories wiped thanks to switching the tech and ultimately Pynch went to jail {{storylink|Cody&#039;s 11}} When Dani&#039;s test space mission ran into trouble, the team headed into space in the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; to mount a rescue, with Heatwave providing the first stage to a jetpack-assisted Rescue Bot rocket. {{storylink|To Infinity... And Back}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kade and Heatwave tried to get Cody interested in firefighting when the boy was deciding what sort of rescue worker he&#039;d become. {{storylink|Family Business}} The Bots found themselves having to maintain their robot disguises when [[Maven Danger]] stayed at the firehouse as research for his new movie, though it later turned out the visit was just so Maven&#039;s agent [[Skip Scobble]] could attempt to steal a rare book. {{storylink|A Brush with Danger}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The team was surprised to discover a whole town in [[China]] knew about them, when they were called there to deal with some out-of-control [[Scrubmite|Scrubbers]]. Afterwards Optimus promptly reassigned them, with Heatwave leading a team on Griffin Rock consisting of Salvage and Servo. When it turned out the Morocco virus was back and had built a new MorBot, Heatwave managed to blow it up by boobytrapping the GroundBridge. {{storylink|Upgrades}} Unfortunately when he, Kade and Cody returned to the Training Center, they found it under Morocco&#039;s control and had to hastily retreat. When Morocco set his sights on abducting Cody, Heatwave&#039;s team attempted in vain to protect the boy, but Heatwave was later able to pick up him and Frankie after they dropped Morocco into an undersea trench. Optimus later assigned Heatwave and Kade to train new recruits. {{storylink|Transformations}}&lt;br /&gt;

Following the restoration of Cybertron from the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Heatwave was one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. {{Storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trying to come up with a rallying cry, [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] once ordered his team to &amp;quot;roll to the rescue&amp;quot;, but then evidently remembered that someone else was already using that cry. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After spending some time with Bumblebee&#039;s team, Blurr said he needed to return to his own rescue team &amp;quot;before Heatwave blows a gasket.&amp;quot; {{storylink|Bee Cool}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:ToughLuckChuck Heatwave.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yep, still a dick. [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Only this time he also has a large chin.]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
Now in charge of the training center, Heatwave introduced a batch of new recruits to Earth and ran them through a series of exercises to assess them, including a simulated rescue. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} He later assigned the recruits to do a training rescue in the caves near [[Milford]], with Cody volunteering as rescue victim. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At some point Heatwave called in Blades to help [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] get the hang of his new jet mode. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}} After Hot Shot damaged [[Tough Luck Chuck]] during a training exercise, Heatwave put the recruit in charge of looking after the drone while he retrieved some new parts from Milford. It later turned out that Hot Shot had allowed Chuck to wander through the GroundBridge portal to Milford, and Heatwave had to lead the recruits in a search and rescue mission before Chuck was found by humans. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Believing that [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] could get the response time of the other recruits down, Heatwave lent the student his control for the rescue alarm, which didn&#039;t go as well as it could have. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MissionInaudible Heatwave vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Golly, Heatwave, your wheels are bigger than your engine!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave took the recruits to the building site where the Rescue Bots&#039; giant faces were being hewn into a mountainside near Griffin Rock. He later regretted it when Hot Shot endangered the entire enterprise by trying to add his own head. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} After seeing how [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] got Wedge and Hot Shot to stop fighting, Heatwave put him in charge of the recruits&#039; next practice rescue. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} Heatwave had Cody accompany the recruits on another rescue involving an overturned truck in Griffin Rock. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}} His demonstration of the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; to the recruits resulted in them believing that one of them was going to be expelled as there were only four command chairs, leading to them badly failing a volcano rescue drill until he explained that the ships were built to accommodate as many crew as necessary. {{storylink|Five into Four}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RescuePromo Heatwave puppet.jpg|thumb|right|350px|There are at &#039;&#039;least&#039;&#039; 4 recreations of Puppetwave in the community by this point.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Partway through filming a recruitment video, Heatwave had to go help [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]] on a mission and so left the task of filming the rest to [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]]. He invited Optimus back to the base to view the results. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} The recruits blaming each other for the failure of a rescue resulted in Heatwave assigning them chores as punishment. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Heatwave and the recruits set up a surprise for Cody to present him with his EMT training certificate. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After five [[TX3000]]s were loaned to the training center, Heatwave put the recruits through a series of exercises to test their ability with the device. {{storylink|The TX3000}} After Teen Pioneer [[Wes]] won a competition, Heatwave had the recruits spend some time with him, though Wedge required more persuading than the others. {{storylink|Driving a Wedge}} After rock sample from an asteroid went missing, Heatwave assumed one of the recruits had taken it. It later turned out that the rock was actually a small alien which had simply walked off his desk. {{storylink|About a Rock}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recruits attempted to keep a dog secret from Heatwave, but he inevitably found out and had them contact the dog&#039;s owner. It turned out the dog&#039;s name was also [[Heatwave (dog)|Heatwave]] and had been trying to get the recruits to rescue his other owner [[Frank Murphy]]. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Heatwave was overseeing the recruits in a simulation when Hot Shot fouled up again. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}} He, Boulder and Blades worked to prevent a flood in Griffin Rock while the recruits rescued townsfolk. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}} The recruits were too absorbed in the smartphones Boulder had assigned them to pay attention to Heatwave&#039;s lesson, resulting in them botching the rescue simulation he later had them do. {{storylink|Screen Time}} Heatwave took the recruits on a field trip to a museum in Milford, during which Whirl&#039;s contention that something was amiss paid off, and the team were able to catch a thief in the act. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:WhosTeachingWho student Heatwave.jpg|thumb|left|280px|Heatwave was never very good at &#039;&#039;fitting in&#039;&#039; while he was learning at his old Rescue Bot Academy.]]&lt;br /&gt;
During a mission to the &#039;&#039;Asgard&#039;&#039;, Heatwave and his team got trapped outside, necessitating the sending of the &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; back to Earth so the recruits could come make an assist. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} Heatwave left the recruits with a list of chores when he and Cody joined the other Rescue Bots on an off-world mission. On his return, he was impressed with the results until he found the [[Scrub-A-Dubber]] in his office. {{storylink|All Washed Up}} When Heatwave&#039;s lesson bored the recruits, he suggested if they thought they could do better, they could be the teachers for the day. Though the results were variable, Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were able to employ what they&#039;d learned during a later rescue. {{storylink|Who&#039;s Teaching Who?}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While he had more business off-world, Heatwave assigned the recruits the task of retrieving a balloon from a tree in Milford. The tale he was told when he returned was rather more complicated than expected. {{storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}} Heatwave provided the recruits with a simulated dragon to deal with after discovering that Hoist was too distracted reading about the beasts. {{storylink|The Mystery of Dragon Mountain}} Heatwave introduced the recruits to their new teacher, [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]]. He later learned that Hoist had been trying to avoid Grimlock as he was afraid of Dinobots. {{Storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}} Heatwave gave Hoist permission to skip a trip to [[Wayward Island|Dino Island]]. He and the other teachers were away from the academy when a dinosaur got loose in it, leaving Hoist to have to deal with it. {{storylink|Dino Hard}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave assigned the recruits the task of retrieving a crashed top-secret satellite. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}} On [[Halloween]], Heatwave congratulated the recruits after they pulled off a rescue while trick or treating. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}} Heatwave was again absent from the base on another occasion, leaving Grimlock to do his digital paperwork. {{storylink|Monster Savings}} Heatwave assigned Hoist the task of looking after the experimental [[Virtual Sonic Fence]] and was later upset when the recruits became distracted by the tune used to unlock the device and failed an exercise. Once they got themselves together, he sent them on a mission to the planet [[Herboo]]. {{storylink|Tune Out}} Heatwave and Cody were dealing with a crashed ice cream truck when they had to go to the aid of Boulder and the recruits, who&#039;d stumbled on a nest of [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BestBotsForever1 Heatwave tows Grimlock.jpg|thumb|right|370px|How to Tow your Dinobot.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Increasingly irritated by the testing of Hoist&#039;s new comms system, Heatwave ordered the recruits to investigate why some animals were acting as which as it turned out, was because of the new comms system. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} Heatwave had the recruits try a simulation involving an ice wave to teach them that sometimes they had to pick their victories based on what was achievable. {{storylink|The Ice Wave}} Heatwave took part in a teachers vs students relay race, carrying Grimlock as a pretend rescue victim, and lost to Hot Shot when the recruit exploited the Dinobot&#039;s fear of cats. He was dismayed later when Hot Shot opted to drop out of the Academy the day before graduation to return to Cybertron. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} A space bridge malfunction caused by the students tampering with it resulted in Heatwave, Optimus, Cody and Chase becoming trapped in an expanding energon bubble. They were eventually freed by the recruits, and Heatwave&#039;s anger was cut short by the arrival of the Griffin Rock townsfolk. Graduation went ahead as planned. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between years, Heatwave had personal spaces set up for each of the five recruits, and showed them around when year two started. [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]&#039;s [[Aptitude Analyzer]] paired him with Hot Shot as a mentor. {{storylink|Back to School}} Said mentoring involved assigning Hot Shot a series of chores to do, which turned out to teach Hot Shot the skills necessary for a rescue the recruits had to carry out. {{storylink|In Training}} Heatwave took the recruits to visit Ratchet&#039;s lab on Cybertron and was stunned to learn Medix had been hiding a bat from him. {{storylink|Medix Steps Up To The Bat}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GreatEnergonRush Heatwave at desk.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Get in the Rescue Bot, Cody.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was perturbed to discover that the recruits had built a robotic suit for Cody. When he sent them to corral a rogue bull, the suit almost resulted in the situation ending in disaster, but instead it ended with Heatwave trying to wrangle the bull. {{storylink|Robo-Cody}} Heatwave assigned the recruits to the task of acting in Griffin Rock&#039;s Play in the Park. When Wedge confessed to having faked an injury to get out of it because a squirrel taunted him, Heatwave suggested maybe the squirrel was trying to tell him something else. {{storylink|Acting Out}} Heatwave approved [[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]] to join the Academy as a teacher. {{storylink|Need to Know}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave was absent from the Academy for a number of days, and had Grimlock fill in for him. {{storylink|Trouble Cubed}} To recognize their good work, Heatwave let the recruits pick their favorite rescue simulation to do, and was confused when they decided to watch movies instead. {{storylink|My Favorite Rescue}} When Grimlock and Hoist found a lead on a possible energon cache, Heatwave approved a mission to go search but cautioned them to observe safety measures at all times. {{storylink|The Great Energon Rush}} Heatwave conducted a fire training exercise with Hot Shot. {{storylink|Wild Ghost Chase}} Heatwave attended the opening of the [[Museum of Future Tech Art]]. {{storylink|Museum Mystery}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]] and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] were trapped in a shrinking [[force field]] dome, Heatwave led the team of mentors and recruits to rescue them. {{storylink|Partners (RBA)|Partners}} Heatwave suggested Hot Shot give his new rescue tool a chance when the young Bot was disappointed with what the [[Sparksayer]] had given him. {{storylink|Power Up And Energize}} Heatwave attended the charity performance of the [[Griffin Rock Ballet School]]. {{storylink|Shall We Dance?}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BigWheels Heatwave and Hot Shot fire.jpg|thumb|right|300px|OK, so, let&#039;s start by going over the things you got right.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Optimus spurred Heatwave into action to try to help Hot Shot master his Mul-T-Cog, though it wasn&#039;t until the other recruits got involved that Hot Shot succeeded. {{storylink|Mul-T-Change of Pace}} Heatwave set up a test for Whirl&#039;s final deductive reasoning exam, disguising himself as a tree. Whirl saw through the disguise fairly easily. {{storylink|Five Little Rescue Bots}} When a series of technical malfunctions plagued the academy, Heatwave contacted Ratchet to get them fixed. {{storylink|Good Advice}} Hot Shot consulted Heatwave while trying to decide on a new alternate mode, however Heatwave had to come to his rescue when he started a fire at an abandoned rocket site. Hot Shot was so impressed with Heatwave&#039;s abilities in fire truck mode that he selected that for his new form. {{storylink|Big Wheels}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the recruits informed him of a distress signal they&#039;d detected in space, Heatwave sent them on their first solo off-world mission, giving them a rescue beacon for when they ran into trouble.

As Heatwave had to do repairs on the &#039;&#039;Asgard&#039;&#039;, he left the recruits in the care of Perceptor. The &#039;&#039;Sigma&#039;&#039; vanished while he was prepping it for launch, as Medix had decided that the best plan to impress Perceptor would be to do the &#039;&#039;Asgard&#039;&#039; repairs himself. {{storylink|Medix Gets Schooled}} Heatwave sent the recruits out on a series of missions which led them to encounter a group of teens who were also mounting rescues. He later offered the teens the chance to train as first responders. {{storylink|Rescue Teens}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wizard in Whirl&#039;s dream appeared in the form of a giant holographic head resembling Heatwave. {{storylink|Wizard Of Botz}} After Heatwave assigned the recruits to carry out maintenance on the academy, he began seeing rabbits and cows passing through walls thanks to Hot Shot and Hoist screwing up repairs on Hero Hall. {{storylink|One Of Our Dragons Is Missing}} Responding to an emergency on Cybertron involving meteors heading towards [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], Heatwave was forced to leave [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]] and [[Snarl (FOC)|Snarl]] in charge of the academy. He returned assuming the place would be trashed, but instead the two Dinobots were &#039;&#039;cleaning&#039;&#039;. {{storylink|Dino-mite Duo}} Heatwave took the recruits to respond to a vague distress call from Citadel Secundus, though it turned out the Titan was just lonely. {{storylink|The Lonely Titan}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:XMarksTheBot Heatwave holokey.jpg|thumb|right|230px]]&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Finn O&#039;Reilly]] approached Heatwave with a [[holokey]] he&#039;d found, Heatwave enlisted the help of the recruits to join the pair on following the trail of breadcrumbs stored in the device. They eventually found a hidden cache of [[Tox-En]], hidden thousands of years earlier. {{storylink|X Marks The Bot}} Heatwave set up a series of tests to help the recruits learn when and when not to use their power up tools, even roping [[Jerry (RB)|Jerry]] into helping. {{Storylink|Powerless}} Heatwave was approached by Mayor Luskey to have the recruits monitor the upcoming charity concert by DJ Mechmaster. {{storylink|Griffin Rock Rocks!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heatwave oversaw the recruits on their final test of year two, and afterwards announced they&#039;d get to have a party aboard Citadel Secundus. Unfortunately the party came to a halt when the Titan was struck by an asteroid which created an anti-energon field, putting Heatwave and the rest of the teaching staff into stasis lock. {{storylink|Space Party}} They were revived once Secundus was safely landed on Earth, and held the students&#039; graduation ceremony, during which Heatwave revealed that Secundus was becoming the Academy&#039;s new wing. {{storylink|Crash Of The Titan}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Heatwave the Fire-Bot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Rescue Bot, 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Heatwave transforms into a red and grey fire engine of likely fictitious origin. In keeping with the simple [[transformation scheme]] of the line, Heatwave transforms from vehicle mode to robot mode by simply pulling up the ladder and folding down the feet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to the placement of his ladder on his back, it is actually possible for the human figures to hitch a ride on Heatwave&#039;s back in robot mode; the rungs on the ladder are just thin enough to allow for one of their hands to slip around and the thumb on that hand to fit in the hollow area on the back of said rung.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure was redecoed for the [[#Rescue Bots: Energize|&#039;&#039;Energize&#039;&#039; toyline]], casting some parts in translucent blue plastic. It was also retooled to give it sockets capable of holding the newly included eponymous implement. The retooled version was later redecoed in cartoon-accurate colors and [[#Rescue Bots (2018)|given a limited re-release in 2018]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the first wave of the Rescan series, Heatwave is an all-new figure, featuring a spring-loaded transformation from show-accurate fireboat to robot, activated by his lightbar. As a boat, he does not have any wheels, nor does he have anything else to lift him off the surface of a table. He is therefore prone to paint wear on his wrist-mounted water cannons and the top of his faux chest window during play.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Trailer/gauntlet, water-blast projectile&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of a larger &amp;quot;deluxe&amp;quot; range of toys under the broader &#039;&#039;Playskool Heroes&#039;&#039; banner, Hook &amp;amp; Ladder Heatwave is a smaller, more show-like re-make of his original toy (in line with the &amp;quot;Rescan&amp;quot; assortment of his teammates), transforming from fire truck to robot and back with a single step triggered by swinging his truck-mode back end/leg down. He comes with a large trailer unit with a moving ladder rig equipped with a spring-loaded &amp;quot;water burst&amp;quot; launcher. The rig can transform into a gauntlet that kids (or adults with small arms) can wear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The package back calls out that Heatwave&#039;s back-ladder is removable and can be attached to the trailer, but it takes &#039;&#039;way&#039;&#039; too much force to do and doesn&#039;t feel like it&#039;s actually supposed to. Also, the ladder has been molded in a way that makes the tops of the steps incorrectly aligned when attached, causing them to face sideways.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The cab-robot was also included in the &amp;quot;[[Heatwave (RB)#4pack|Griffin Rock Rescue Team Set]]&amp;quot; in 2016, [[Heatwave (RB)#RescanCab|released singly]] in 2018, and [[#RBACab|re-released singly again as part of &#039;&#039;Rescue Bots Academy&#039;&#039;]], each time with no notable changes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Yet another new body for the character released as part of the sixteenth wave of the Rescan series, this time changing into a race car in a single step. He seems to take a lot of the engineering from the Rescan [[MorBot]] figure, which is an extensive retool of [[Blurr (Prime)#Rescue Bots|Blurr]]. In 2019 [[#RBARescanRaceCar|he was re-released]] under [[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Rescue Bots Academy&#039;&#039; branding]] with no changes, and was also retooled with a new head and resculpted chest and legs, into the [[Whirl (RBA)#Racecar|race-car version of &#039;&#039;Rescue Bots Academy&#039;&#039; Whirl]].&lt;br /&gt;

*Concurrently with 2025’s &#039;&#039;[[Studio_Series#2025|Studio Series]]&#039;&#039; assortment, the toyline sees a return to the plastic windows not seen on Transformers packaging since &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]&#039;&#039;. Also concurrently with &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039;, the boxes are now less decorated than their predecessors, replacing the full package artwork with an all-black design that has art of the figure’s robot and alternate forms on one side of the window, with the robot form on the left side of the box and the toyline’s poster on the right. (They also now feature little graphics on the front showing the toy’s step count.)&lt;br /&gt;

*According to former Director of Product Design [[John Warden]], the [[2025]] and [[2026]] toylines are connected.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citesocial|quote= 2026 and 2025 are linked together, I can say that, and if you can believe it we’re already starting to think a little bit about 2027.|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/08/03/sdcc-2024-hasbro-interview-john-wardens-return-generations-studio-series-combiners-more-513802|name=John Warden|site=TFW2005|title=SDCC 2024 Hasbro Interview – John Warden’s Return, Generations, Studio Series, Combiners, More!|year=2024|month=08|day=03}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In the same vein as this, lead designer [[Mark Maher]] later stated that all [[thirteen]] Primes would be released between those two years.&amp;lt;ref name=usedtwice /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Concurrently with 2025’s &#039;&#039;[[Studio_Series#2025|Studio Series]]&#039;&#039; assortment, the toyline sees a return to the plastic windows not seen on Transformers packaging since &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]&#039;&#039;. Also concurrently with &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039;, the boxes are now less decorated than their predecessors, replacing the full package artwork with an all-black design that has art of the figure’s robot and alternate forms on one side of the window, with the robot form on the left side of the box and the toyline’s poster on the right. (They also now feature little graphics on the front showing the toy’s step count.)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;So one day Hasbro decided, full out, &amp;quot;How can we break TFWiki&#039;s brains,&amp;quot; and created these little guys that are a continuity family&#039;s worst nightmare: http://www.allspark.com/content/view/9850/20/ --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 11:00, 19 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
: I guess, really, they&#039;ll probably go in with Aligned, even though it&#039;s guys with G1 heads featuring movie characters like Barricade and DOTM Sentinel Prime. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 11:01, 19 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::I think that would be the best and easiest solution, yes. (Does Sentinel Zeta Prime count as &amp;quot;Sentinel Prime&amp;quot;?) [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 13:26, 19 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::God dammit, Aaron. I will hate you forever. -[[User:LV|LV]] 14:14, 19 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::On the bright side, if they&#039;re part of Aligned, the articles don&#039;t get an unfortunate parenthetical. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 22:36, 19 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:In non Sentinel Prime news, I suspect they&#039;ll be sold in packaging that matches something else. But if not, well, we knew this day was coming sooner or later. -[[User:LV|LV]] 22:46, 19 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not going to work too well, as a number of the figures now revealed clearly take designs ques from other lines. Jetfire, for instance, is clearly G1-based. Lockdown is from the movie line. Topspin is from Dark of the Moon. Mirage is... confused. For the time being, I changed the character links to match the closest &#039;source&#039; for each figure, but I imagine that Bot Shots will either have it&#039;s own play brand (like RPMs) anyway. Either that, or Walky&#039;s brain will explode. - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 14:53, 30 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:It does seem like a multiversal toyline ala Robot Heroes. We&#039;ll need to amend the note if we&#039;re going to treat it that way though. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 15:37, 30 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::Personally, I would just wait for ToyFair and see how Hasbro&#039;s officially selling it and have done with it. It&#039;s only a couple of weeks away now, anyway. - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 15:42, 30 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::The Bot Shots Prime looks much more like an amalgamation of various versions of the character, to me. He has a cab that looks a heck of a lot more like Armada Prime&#039;s vehicle mode, even with a robot mode that skews closer to G1. [[Special:Contributions/141.218.8.33|141.218.8.33]] 20:42, 30 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::I think we can call it settled now. Bot Shots are their own subline, according to their packaging. (www.allspark.com). So, they&#039;re effectively either NOT in continuity, like Robot Heroes, or are their OWN continuity... let the admin figure that one out! - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 13:26, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::RPMs are their own line, and yet RPMs is not its own continuity family.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 13:43, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::RPMs were also almost completely made of movie characters that looked like their movie versions, with only a couple of exceptions. Bot Shots have, so far, ZERO characters that look like their Prime counterparts. In fact, the designs are all over the place, with G1 or the movies getting the bulk of the attention. - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 14:21, 1 February 2012 (EST) &lt;br /&gt;
::::I&#039;ll admit I&#039;m only basing this on the cardback image Rhinox posted on the &#039;Spark, but would that mean the Bot Shots Sentinel Prime is the same Sentinel as the Kre-O one? Because that&#039;s the one it ressembles. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 13:44, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::May I recommend the &#039;Aligned by default, unless they obviously go elsewhere&#039; treatment?&lt;br /&gt;
::::::But, so far, none of the toys actually are of the &#039;aligned&#039; continuity... - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 14:21, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Also can we ask which continuity [[Sky Lynx (Energon Wars)]] belongs to for one of our Hasbro Q&amp;amp;A&#039;s?  -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 13:49, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::Movie-Verse. This was already fielded on WOTC&#039;s forums. (Edit: Just to clarify this point, the ENTIRE Energon Wars set is part of licensing for the movie line. That means that Optimus Primal and Beast Megatron, from this set, are officially movie-verse as well. Probably not the best logic to go with for the wiki, though.) - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 14:21, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::The Movieverse crossed over with the Beast Wars already.  Just try to think of it in that context.  ;)  -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 22:36, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
I think making them all Aligned is a pretty terrible idea. I also think making them their own universe when they almost certainly won&#039;t have any unique fiction or characterization is terrible, especially when many of them are based on really specific models. We DID assign Attacktix figures to their own various continuity families, so it&#039;s not without precedence. But if we do that, there WILL be arguments. -[[User:LV|LV]] 21:05, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:I would present [[Sentinel Prime (Kre-O)]] as our model here.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;Talk&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;]] 21:29, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::Kre-O is a different issue because Kre-O somewhat implausibly has both individual character profiles and a not insignificant amount of &amp;quot;fiction&amp;quot;. -[[User:LV|LV]] 23:14, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*facepalm*&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;  Okay, Bumblebee and Prime currently link to their G1 selves, I guess.  Well, sure, that&#039;s because their heads are very Classicsy, but that&#039;s all that&#039;s classicsy.  Bumblebee&#039;s body is very strongly movie based, as is Optimus Prime&#039;s, and they both transform into vehicles that most closely resemble their movie versions.  And yet, you know, G1 heads.  Putting either &amp;quot;G1&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Movie&amp;quot; down as their continuity-of-origin seems incredibly dishonest.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 20:19, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Could we just link them to the Disambig pages. That kinda works for me.--[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 20:26, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::Sure, why not.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 20:32, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::It doesn&#039;t really solve the question of whose pages the actual toy writeups go on. -[[User:LV|LV]] 20:58, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Maybe it would just be simpler to have &amp;quot;Optimus Prime (BS)&amp;quot; :P --[[User:Abates|abates]] 22:46, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::I dunno, that sounds pretty made up to me. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 22:49, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::I feel like toys that don&#039;t obviously fit into only one continuity are going to be an increasingly common occurrence, since Transformers is exploding and continuity-nitpickery isn&#039;t Hasbro&#039;s deal, and I&#039;m not sure I want to create a new continuity family every time that happens.  That&#039;s why I was in favor of the Aligned designation for these guys to begin with, because Aligned as-existing is this mixmatch of styles that presents itself differently visually in various media as it pleases.  WFC Prime is Prime Prime is RB Prime.  I still feel like Bot Shots fits best into that world.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 23:12, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::I agree. I think it&#039;s simply easier to default to Aligned unless it&#039;s evident otherwise. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 23:23, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::Aligned-until-proven-different seems like a sane approach.  IIRC Hasbro&#039;s made noises about Aligned being the new &#039;unified&#039; continuity they&#039;re trying to fit everything into when possible.  -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 03:02, 7 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::I&#039;m in favor of this approach. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 05:51, 7 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::I think that&#039;s logical and is likely what we&#039;ll go with. The only other option I can see working decently is to put all the Bot Shot toys on the Bot Shots page. Making their subline/game more in portent than the fictional (without fiction) character they represent. I doubt we&#039;ll go with that, as the previous option seems more &amp;quot;our style&amp;quot; but just throwing it out there as one other way to go.--[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 12:29, 7 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
I think it may be time to reopen this discussion.  It seems increasingly obvious that these have little to nothing to do with the Aligned versions of their respective characters, nor with any of our other continuities.  I believe it&#039;s time to split these guys off onto their own pages. - [[User:Shellspark|Shellspark]] 23:50, 9 June 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;m leaning pretty damn heavy now to having the Bot Shots be their own thing. Since we DO have character bios and a bit of fiction thanks to the online game... --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 23:52, 9 June 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::I agree. -[[User:LV|LV]] 00:28, 10 June 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::If there are no objections, I&#039;ll start switching things over tomorrow. - [[User:Shellspark|Shellspark]] 13:13, 11 June 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Parts reuse ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How much parts reuse should be noted with Bot Shots? Looking at Brawl and the tank Megatrons, it looks like they share the same arm pieces, and it looks like Barricade and Mirage share arms, car bodies and legs... --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 05:29, 10 March 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Upon closer inspection, it looks like Barricade, Mirage and Bumblebee all share the same car body, arms and legs. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 03:22, 11 March 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Super Bots not better? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compairing the stat numbers on Super Bot vs. Normal Sentinel Prime. I don&#039;t think the Super Bot is really &amp;quot;more powerful&amp;quot; at all. The Stats are different but that&#039;s all I&#039;d say. Can anyone compair Super BB to Normal and see if they&#039;re the same as well? We might want to change that bit. --[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 17:53, 12 April 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:Regardless of whether we take &amp;quot;more powerful&amp;quot; to mean having a higher total score between the three stats or to have one particularly high stat, the super bots are not especially powerful, SB Megatron is actually weaker than the launcher Megatron in both regards. Their overall scores are actually very similar to those of the normal or three pack figures. Sentinel presents an odd case though, his stats are noticeably higher in both regards. Perhaps rather than claiming that all super bot shots have higher stats it would be better to note that super bot Sentinel&#039;s (and only Sentinel&#039;s) are abnormally high. [[User:Thelastallosaur|Thelastallosaur]] 16:52, 6 July 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== No Article for the Online Game? Should it go here? ==&lt;br /&gt;
We really have no article about the Botshot&#039;s online video game after this long? Should it be added here or get it&#039;s own page? It&#039;s kinda an important tie in to the toys. --[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 19:05, 12 May 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;So one day Hasbro decided, full out, &amp;quot;How can we break TFWiki&#039;s brains,&amp;quot; and created these little guys that are a continuity family&#039;s worst nightmare: http://www.allspark.com/content/view/9850/20/ --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 11:00, 19 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Not going to work too well, as a number of the figures now revealed clearly take designs ques from other lines. Jetfire, for instance, is clearly G1-based. Lockdown is from the movie line. Topspin is from Dark of the Moon. Mirage is... confused. For the time being, I changed the character links to match the closest &#039;source&#039; for each figure, but I imagine that Bot Shots will either have it&#039;s own play brand (like RPMs) anyway.

I think making them all Aligned is a pretty terrible idea. I also think making them their own universe when they almost certainly won&#039;t have any unique fiction or characterization is terrible, especially when many of them are based on really specific models. We DID assign Attacktix figures to their own various continuity families, so it&#039;s not without precedence. But if we do that, there WILL be arguments. -[[User:LV|LV]] 21:05, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*facepalm*&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;  Okay, Bumblebee and Prime currently link to their G1 selves, I guess.  Well, sure, that&#039;s because their heads are very Classicsy, but that&#039;s all that&#039;s classicsy.  Bumblebee&#039;s body is very strongly movie based, as is Optimus Prime&#039;s, and they both transform into vehicles that most closely resemble their movie versions.  And yet, you know, G1 heads.  Putting either &amp;quot;G1&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Movie&amp;quot; down as their continuity-of-origin seems incredibly dishonest.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 20:19, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Could we just link them to the Disambig pages. That kinda works for me.--[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 20:26, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

::::I dunno, that sounds pretty made up to me. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 22:49, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::I feel like toys that don&#039;t obviously fit into only one continuity are going to be an increasingly common occurrence, since Transformers is exploding and continuity-nitpickery isn&#039;t Hasbro&#039;s deal, and I&#039;m not sure I want to create a new continuity family every time that happens.  That&#039;s why I was in favor of the Aligned designation for these guys to begin with, because Aligned as-existing is this mixmatch of styles that presents itself differently visually in various media as it pleases.  WFC Prime is Prime Prime is RB Prime.  I still feel like Bot Shots fits best into that world.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 23:12, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::I agree. I think it&#039;s simply easier to default to Aligned unless it&#039;s evident otherwise. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 23:23, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::Aligned-until-proven-different seems like a sane approach.  IIRC Hasbro&#039;s made noises about Aligned being the new &#039;unified&#039; continuity they&#039;re trying to fit everything into when possible.  -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 03:02, 7 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::I&#039;m in favor of this approach. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 05:51, 7 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::I think that&#039;s logical and is likely what we&#039;ll go with. The only other option I can see working decently is to put all the Bot Shot toys on the Bot Shots page. Making their subline/game more in portent than the fictional (without fiction) character they represent. I doubt we&#039;ll go with that, as the previous option seems more &amp;quot;our style&amp;quot; but just throwing it out there as one other way to go.--[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 12:29, 7 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
I think it may be time to reopen this discussion.  It seems increasingly obvious that these have little to nothing to do with the Aligned versions of their respective characters, nor with any of our other continuities.  I believe it&#039;s time to split these guys off onto their own pages. - [[User:Shellspark|Shellspark]] 23:50, 9 June 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;m leaning pretty damn heavy now to having the Bot Shots be their own thing. Since we DO have character bios and a bit of fiction thanks to the online game... --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 23:52, 9 June 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== Parts reuse ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How much parts reuse should be noted with Bot Shots? Looking at Brawl and the tank Megatrons, it looks like they share the same arm pieces, and it looks like Barricade and Mirage share arms, car bodies and legs... --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 05:29, 10 March 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Upon closer inspection, it looks like Barricade, Mirage and Bumblebee all share the same car body, arms and legs. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 03:22, 11 March 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Super Bots not better? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compairing the stat numbers on Super Bot vs. Normal Sentinel Prime. I don&#039;t think the Super Bot is really &amp;quot;more powerful&amp;quot; at all. The Stats are different but that&#039;s all I&#039;d say. Can anyone compair Super BB to Normal and see if they&#039;re the same as well? We might want to change that bit. --[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 17:53, 12 April 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:Regardless of whether we take &amp;quot;more powerful&amp;quot; to mean having a higher total score between the three stats or to have one particularly high stat, the super bots are not especially powerful, SB Megatron is actually weaker than the launcher Megatron in both regards. Their overall scores are actually very similar to those of the normal or three pack figures. Sentinel presents an odd case though, his stats are noticeably higher in both regards. Perhaps rather than claiming that all super bot shots have higher stats it would be better to note that super bot Sentinel&#039;s (and only Sentinel&#039;s) are abnormally high.

We really have no article about the Botshot&#039;s online video game after this long? Should it be added here or get it&#039;s own page? It&#039;s kinda an important tie in to the toys. --[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 19:05, 12 May 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== Super Bots not better? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compairing the stat numbers on Super Bot vs. Normal Sentinel Prime. I don&#039;t think the Super Bot is really &amp;quot;more powerful&amp;quot; at all. The Stats are different but that&#039;s all I&#039;d say. Can anyone compair Super BB to Normal and see if they&#039;re the same as well? We might want to change that bit. --[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 17:53, 12 April 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:Regardless of whether we take &amp;quot;more powerful&amp;quot; to mean having a higher total score between the three stats or to have one particularly high stat, the super bots are not especially powerful, SB Megatron is actually weaker than the launcher Megatron in both regards. Their overall scores are actually very similar to those of the normal or three pack figures. Sentinel presents an odd case though, his stats are noticeably higher in both regards. Perhaps rather than claiming that all super bot shots have higher stats it would be better to note that super bot Sentinel&#039;s (and only Sentinel&#039;s) are abnormally high.

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;So one day Hasbro decided, full out, &amp;quot;How can we break TFWiki&#039;s brains,&amp;quot; and created these little guys that are a continuity family&#039;s worst nightmare: http://www.allspark.com/content/view/9850/20/ --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 11:00, 19 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
: I guess, really, they&#039;ll probably go in with Aligned, even though it&#039;s guys with G1 heads featuring movie characters like Barricade and DOTM Sentinel Prime. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 11:01, 19 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::I think that would be the best and easiest solution, yes. (Does Sentinel Zeta Prime count as &amp;quot;Sentinel Prime&amp;quot;?) [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 13:26, 19 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::God dammit, Aaron. I will hate you forever. -[[User:LV|LV]] 14:14, 19 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::On the bright side, if they&#039;re part of Aligned, the articles don&#039;t get an unfortunate parenthetical. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 22:36, 19 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:In non Sentinel Prime news, I suspect they&#039;ll be sold in packaging that matches something else. But if not, well, we knew this day was coming sooner or later. -[[User:LV|LV]] 22:46, 19 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not going to work too well, as a number of the figures now revealed clearly take designs ques from other lines. Jetfire, for instance, is clearly G1-based. Lockdown is from the movie line. Topspin is from Dark of the Moon. Mirage is... confused. For the time being, I changed the character links to match the closest &#039;source&#039; for each figure, but I imagine that Bot Shots will either have it&#039;s own play brand (like RPMs) anyway. Either that, or Walky&#039;s brain will explode. - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 14:53, 30 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:It does seem like a multiversal toyline ala Robot Heroes. We&#039;ll need to amend the note if we&#039;re going to treat it that way though. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 15:37, 30 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::Personally, I would just wait for ToyFair and see how Hasbro&#039;s officially selling it and have done with it. It&#039;s only a couple of weeks away now, anyway. - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 15:42, 30 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::The Bot Shots Prime looks much more like an amalgamation of various versions of the character, to me. He has a cab that looks a heck of a lot more like Armada Prime&#039;s vehicle mode, even with a robot mode that skews closer to G1. [[Special:Contributions/141.218.8.33|141.218.8.33]] 20:42, 30 January 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::I think we can call it settled now. Bot Shots are their own subline, according to their packaging. (www.allspark.com). So, they&#039;re effectively either NOT in continuity, like Robot Heroes, or are their OWN continuity... let the admin figure that one out! - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 13:26, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::RPMs are their own line, and yet RPMs is not its own continuity family.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 13:43, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::RPMs were also almost completely made of movie characters that looked like their movie versions, with only a couple of exceptions. Bot Shots have, so far, ZERO characters that look like their Prime counterparts. In fact, the designs are all over the place, with G1 or the movies getting the bulk of the attention. - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 14:21, 1 February 2012 (EST) &lt;br /&gt;
::::I&#039;ll admit I&#039;m only basing this on the cardback image Rhinox posted on the &#039;Spark, but would that mean the Bot Shots Sentinel Prime is the same Sentinel as the Kre-O one? Because that&#039;s the one it ressembles. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 13:44, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::May I recommend the &#039;Aligned by default, unless they obviously go elsewhere&#039; treatment?&lt;br /&gt;
::::::But, so far, none of the toys actually are of the &#039;aligned&#039; continuity... - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 14:21, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Also can we ask which continuity [[Sky Lynx (Energon Wars)]] belongs to for one of our Hasbro Q&amp;amp;A&#039;s?  -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 13:49, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::Movie-Verse. This was already fielded on WOTC&#039;s forums. (Edit: Just to clarify this point, the ENTIRE Energon Wars set is part of licensing for the movie line. That means that Optimus Primal and Beast Megatron, from this set, are officially movie-verse as well. Probably not the best logic to go with for the wiki, though.) - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 14:21, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::The Movieverse crossed over with the Beast Wars already.  Just try to think of it in that context.  ;)  -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 22:36, 6 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
I think making them all Aligned is a pretty terrible idea. I also think making them their own universe when they almost certainly won&#039;t have any unique fiction or characterization is terrible, especially when many of them are based on really specific models. We DID assign Attacktix figures to their own various continuity families, so it&#039;s not without precedence. But if we do that, there WILL be arguments. -[[User:LV|LV]] 21:05, 1 February 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*facepalm*&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;  Okay, Bumblebee and Prime currently link to their G1 selves, I guess.  Well, sure, that&#039;s because their heads are very Classicsy, but that&#039;s all that&#039;s classicsy.  Bumblebee&#039;s body is very strongly movie based, as is Optimus Prime&#039;s, and they both transform into vehicles that most closely resemble their movie versions.  And yet, you know, G1 heads.

{{disambig3|Optimus Prime}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime is an [[Autobot]] from [[Transformers One (franchise)|One]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:One-Optimus-Prime-full-body.jpg|right|300px|thumb|&amp;quot;Bring me Sentinel!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bold and daring, &#039;&#039;&#039;Orion Pax&#039;&#039;&#039; came from humble beginnings as a [[cogless]] energon miner who, growing bored with his duties, snuck around in the archives to learn about the [[Thirteen|Primes]]. Yearning for adventure and the autonomy to make his own choices, he often tricked his by-the-books best friend [[Megatron (One)|D-16]] into breaking the rules and getting them both in trouble. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite this, his spark is very much in the right place, and as his sense of justice matured, he was bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]], becoming the legendary hero &#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{bigquote|We stand here together as one, proving we all have the the power to transform; to become who we were destined to be; to right wrongs; to make our world better. Because here, freedom and autonomy are the right of all sentient beings. Here, all are truly &#039;&#039;Autobots&#039;&#039;.|Optimus Prime|&#039;&#039;[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]&#039;&#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;One&#039;&#039; film===&lt;br /&gt;
{{voiceactor|[[Chris Hemsworth]] (English), [[Yūichi Nakamura]] (Japanese)|[[Goran Višnjić]] (Croatian), [[Tommy Morgenstern]] (German trailers and Main Movie), [[Adrien Antoine]] (European French), [[Martin Desgagné]] (Canadian French), [[Andrés Gutiérrez Coto]] (Latin-American Spanish), [[Ivan Labanda]] (Spain Spanish), [[Mauro Horta]] (Portuguese), [[Massimiliano Manfredi]] (Italian), [[Tuukka Haapaniemi]] (Finnish)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite lacking a cog, the energon miner Orion Pax was an incredibly bold bot who dreamed of proving his and other cogless transformers&#039; worth, often getting into trouble for failing to obey rules or follow protocol. Orion befriended the unambitious [[Megatron (One)|D-16]], who idolized [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] and spent most of his time pulling Orion out of one jam or another. Once, Orion became convinced that he could transform without a transformation cog, and D-16 had to spend three days getting his friend back into shape. On several occasions, Orion broke into the city&#039;s archives searching for information about the missing [[Matrix of Leadership]]. After the latest such illicit adventure, D-16 helped him escape from the [[Guard (One)|archive guards]], and Orion gifted his best friend with a pristine sticker of [[The Fallen|Megatronus Prime]]. During a mining expedition, Orion broke protocol with D-16 to rescue [[Jazz (One)|Jazz]] after a vein of unstable energon caused the mine to collapse. In response to his breaking of protocol, his captain, [[Elita-1 (One)|Elita-1]] was fired and demoted by [[Darkwing (One)|Darkwing]]. Angered by this injustice, Orion reminded Darkwing that while he lacked a Transformation Cog, his finger could still transform into a rude gesture, causing Darkwing to almost deck Orion until D-16 intervened by punching Orion and trying to apologize on his behalf before being knocked down himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the mining incident, [[Sentinel Prime (One)|Sentinel Prime]] announced his return from the surface, informing the city that he had failed to find the Matrix, but that work would be stopped so that everyone could watch the Iacon 5000 race the following day. Seeing an opportunity to show everyone their potential, Orion tricked D-16 into entering alongside him, coming close to victory until D-16 was injured on the final stretch. While trying to convince an upset D-16 that participating in the race wasn&#039;t a mistake, the pair were visited by Sentinel Prime, who praised them for inspiring the other miners to work harder and granted them access to his personal repair bay. However, before they could be escorted, Darkwing, angry at the pair for nearly beating him in the race, took them down to waste management at sublevel 50 where the two met [[Bumblebee (One)|B-127]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While B-127 was introducing the pair to his artificial friends, Orion discovered that one of the sculptures contained a transmitter from [[Alpha Trion (One)|Alpha Trion]] and a map of a possible location of the Matrix. After convincing D-16 and B-127 to accompany him on the search, the three snuck their way up the garbage chute to take a train to the surface, where they ran into Elita-1. Still royally steamed at Orion for getting her fired, Elita attempted to stop the departing train. Knocked off the train by Cybertron&#039;s shifting geology and left stranded on the surface, the group convinced Elita-1 to join their party in search of the Matrix. The map eventually led them to an [[Mouth of Unicron|ancient cave]] where the Primes had fallen in battle against the [[Quintesson]]s. The Matrix was not in the cave, but Orion discovered that Alpha Trion&#039;s spark still flickered and the group reactivated him with an energon cube. Trion revealed a dark truth: that Sentinel was an imposter, a false Prime who had betrayed the Primes and made a deal with the Quintessons where he would be allowed to rule Cybertron in return for paying them energon and, as a result, stole the cogs from new transformers so they could mine it.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TF-One-Optimus-Prime-2024.jpg|left|300px|thumb|&amp;quot;I choose to run towards my problems, and not away from them. Because&#039;s that– because&#039;s that what heroes do.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Though a bitter pill to swallow, Orion remained hopeful and announced his plan to reveal the truth to Iacon. D-16 on the other hand expressed his desire to kill Sentinel for what he had done, unnerving Orion, B-127, and Elita-1. Trion granted Orion and his allies the cogs of the dead Primes,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;In the film, [[Micronus Prime]]&#039;s cog is shown going to Orion, while the film&#039;s novelization states he received [[Prima|Prima Prime]]&#039;s. It doesn&#039;t ultimately have a significant effect on the story as a whole, so deciding which cog he got somewhat becomes a matter of [[personal canon]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and they escaped as Trion held off the approaching [[Death Tracker]]s. On their journey back to Iacon, the party was captured by the former Cybertron [[High Guard]], who mistook them for Sentinel Prime&#039;s spies. After watching D-16 beat down [[Starscream (One)|Starscream]] and take control of the guard, they were attacked by Sentinel&#039;s legion of Death Trackers and his enforcer, [[Airachnid (One)|Airachnid]]. D-16, B-127, and many members of the Guard were captured, leaving Orion feeling hopeless. Elita, far from Orion&#039;s biggest fan, inspired him to keep going, reminding him that his greatest strength was his endless hope. Inspired, Orion rallied the remaining members of the Guard and organized a plan to free the others. While Elita smuggled them into Iacon, Orion made his first of many inspirational speeches to the cogless miners and convinced them to rise up against Sentinel after revealing the truth that their cogs were stolen. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:One-Megs-Prime-face-to-face.jpg|thumb|300px|&amp;quot;Can I come home?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;quot;The truce with Jotunheim is conditional upon your exile.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
During the battle for Iacon, Orion helped free D-16 and the rest of the guard. While D-16 attacked Sentinel directly, Orion, B-127, and Elita instead focused on revealing Sentinel&#039;s treachery to the entire city via Airachnid&#039;s memories. After broadcasting them thoughout the entire city, D-16, despite the truth being out, was still set on killing the false Prime. Orion pleaded with him, trying to make his friend see that his path of vengeance was not the way to build the future. Shoving Orion aside, D-16 aimed his fusion cannon at Sentinel, only for his shot to hit Orion as he jumped in the way. A horrified D-16 caught Orion before he fell into the pit that lead to Cybertron&#039;s core. Orion begged his friend to not let go, only for D-16 to bitterly tell him he was done saving him and let him fall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For his noble sacrifice for the greater good, Orion was rescued by [[Primus]] and granted the Matrix of Leadership, transforming into Optimus Prime. Returning to the surface, Optimus fought D-16, now &amp;quot;Megatron&amp;quot; and fought to stop him from destroying anymore of the city. Saddened by the path of destruction his old friend had chosen, Optimus banished Megatron and his followers from Iacon. Knowing he could not lead the planet alone, Optimus asked Elita and B-127 to work with him, an offer that was readily accepted by both bots. Holding the Matrix high, energon began flowing in abundance once again and the miners were granted cogs, becoming fully autonomous &amp;quot;Autobots&amp;quot;. Optimus vowed that the Autobots would defend Cybertron from the Quintessons and any [[Decepticon|future enemies]].{{storylink|Transformers One (film)|One}}&lt;br /&gt;

Like the other Prime Changers, he has pearlescent plastic and glittery paint applications, specifically his silver and gunmetal paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His removable shoulder pipes can double as blasters. He comes with his Energon axe which can be wielded on his hands and stored on his back or between his legs in alt mode. Both the shoulder pipes and axe are [[Fire Blast effect]]-compatible. The included Matrix of Leadership can be held using 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm posts with both hands. Word of caution: the Matrix may break if the arms are pulled apart while he is holding it due to the thin plastic.  There is a [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039;]]-style 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm port on his posterior in robot mode for use with various industry standard action figure stands. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to its short friction pegs, the wrists can become floppy or pop off easily. The stock photography on the back of his box shows him with an Autobot symbol in the center of his chest above his windshield, but the actual toy lacks one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like a few of his other &#039;&#039;One&#039;&#039; toys, the Prime Changer seems to be based on an early design for Optimus Prime (see [[#Notes|Notes]]). The designers of the larger [[#Studio Series|&#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Deluxe]] toy consider this Prime Changer toy as the Orion Pax form due to its smaller size.&amp;lt;ref name=April25/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He has a new front grill and a spoiler has been added to the back of his trailer.

His chest spinner no longer has the battle gimmick, only an Autobot insignia on one side with the other sides left blank. The included launcher is a new design.&lt;br /&gt;

:Optimus comes in a Target-exclusive 2-pack with [[Megatron (One)#RaceChangers|Megatron/D-16]].

Interestingly, the launchers have &amp;quot;2017&amp;quot; molded into their bottoms, whereas the original [[Bot Shots (toyline)|Bot Shots toyline]] ended in 2013.

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Studio Series]] One&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is a larger Deluxe Class figure and transforms into a Cybertronian truck in 25 steps. His shoulder pipes are removable and can double as blasters, though they can&#039;t use [[Fire Blast effect|blast effects]] like the above [[#PrimeChanger|Prime Changer]]. His energon axe, however, keeps the effect peg and also fuctions similarly, pegging into his hand and storing on his back in robot mode and in the truck bed. The included Matrix of Leadership can tab into slots in his fists without the need for opening hands. He comes with a &amp;quot;dual-barrel blaster&amp;quot; meant only for his truck mode, which can be stored under his back in robot mode. Lastly, Optimus comes with a backdrop showcasing the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] cityscape as seen in the film.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus was revealed on [[April 18]], 2024, alongside the premiere of the movie&#039;s first trailer. Released at the Deluxe Class price point, Optimus is a smaller (and more affordable) figure than previous Optimus toys in the line. He was the first figure announced to be in the &amp;quot;A-Level&amp;quot; assortment, being released outside of a main wave for extended periods for greater availability.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*There appears to have been an earlier concept design for Optimus Prime that was used for several of his toys, notably the Prime Changer, Mega Changer, and Robot Battler. This design has prominent sloped kneepads, a narrower chest window (but not pinched in the middle like Orion Pax&#039;s), and an angled collar section similar to his Cogged Orion Pax design.&lt;br /&gt;
*One of Optimus Prime&#039;s models has a blue axe with an orange trim instead of the orange axe with a blue trim from the final film. This older model is in a few promotional renders and was the reference used for most of his 2024 merchandise.&lt;br /&gt;
*Many of his toys and merchandise also use a traditional silver/gray instead of the light bronze of his final design.&lt;br /&gt;
*Orion&#039;s interest in the archives is a nod to [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|his]] backstory from both &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The War Within]]&#039;&#039; and the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned Continuity]], where he was a data clerk before becoming Prime.&lt;br /&gt;
