Chief [[Charlie Burns]]'s partner '''Chase the Police-Bot''' is the Rescue Bot most at home and happy with their new positions learning and enforcing the laws and customs of Earth. He is brave, loyal, and very fast when he turns into a police car. As long as he gets to protect and serve, he is happy. He is a stickler for wanting to enforce the extreme letter of the law.<ref>Chase's profile at [http://www.hubworld.com/transformers/shows/rescue-bots/cast-gallery/chase hubworld.com].</ref> He hangs out with [[Charlie Burns]] most of the time, and the two seem to get along pretty well. Don't tell [[Jack Tracker]].

:''Voice actor:'' [[D.C. Douglas]] (English)
Chase was part of a team of Rescue Bots drifting through space when their spaceship received a transmission from [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] and landed on [[Earth]]. After dropping the bombshell that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was no more, Optimus assigned the team 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, after which Burns drove Chase to the [[Griffin Rock Natural History Museum|museum]], where a fire had broken out, and began clearing people from the area. Out of all of the Rescue Bots, Chase seemed to settle into his new role the easiest, though when [[Cody Burns]] discovered their secret, he was still reluctant to share information. He and the other Autobots helped stop a rampaging robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', which seemed to be attracted to Chase's police lights. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}

Chase and Chief Burns managed to deal with an out-of-control [[robo-landscaper]] before the rest of the team, who were having trouble working together, got there. He and the other Autobots accepted Cody's help in trying to bond with the other Burns siblings. After lava began spewing from [[Mount Magma]], Chase helped Chief Burns try to keep the citizens of Griffin Rock out of harm's way and cleared some campers from near the mountain. {{storylink|Under Pressure}} Chase brought [[Doc Greene]]'s out-of-control [[solar car]] to a halt before it could plunge into a ravine, though doing so did nasty things to his feet. Chase and the other Rescue Bots were put out when [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] started hogging all the action with his new scoop claw, but they nonetheless came to his rescue when he, [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and Cody were trapped by a forest fire. {{storylink|Hotshots}}

When Doc Greene was almost swept away by a giant lobster balloon, Chase tried fruitlessly to help. He and the other Rescue Bots were subsequently given more instruction on following humans' commands, which Chase excelled at. They also took part in the technology parade at the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]] and had to help out when the parade was attacked by [[flobster]]s. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}} After Chase prevented a hazardous chemical spill, but almost blew his cover, he expected a reprimand and instead got praised. He and the other Rescue Bots were subjected to a screening of ''[[The Natives of Tatui]]'', which inadvertently caused a panic when [[Huxley Prescott]] mistook the movie's audio for an alien transmission, resulting in the team having to save the island from destruction. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}}

Chase responded to two separate calls from [[Neederlander|Mrs Neederlander]] about a cat up a tree, though the second time it turned out to be [[Whiskers|a lion]]. The hunt for the lion was interrupted by lemurs attacking the [[Mayor Luskey Library]], and Chase ended up helping [[Boulder]] and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] return the critters to the [[Griffin Rock Zoo|zoo]]. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}} While trying to stop [[Harrison (RB)|Mr Harrison]]'s heli-pack ride, Chase's pursuit route was blocked by boxes. He and the other Rescue Bots went to Cody's aid when some nanites took over a [[Scrapmaster]], however the trash device failed to respect Chase's authority. He and the other bots managed to stop it anyway and eventually suppressed the nanites. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}}

Chase was unable to stop a motorist from busting through their barricade and ending up crashing. Cody roped the Rescue Bots into helping him take care of a [[Robo-Baby]], which didn't like Chase's singing at all. This turned out to be to their advantage when they later needed to stop the Robo-Baby from falling off a platform. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}} During a heatwave, Chase didn't approve of [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] and Cody selling lemonade without a license. He didn't quite get what the fuss was about when the humans engineered a snow storm using a weather machine, and everyone seemed to be having fun, but later got into the spirit of things by making snow angels. {{storylink|Christmas in July}}

Chase and the other Rescue Bots were invited on the Burns' annual fishing trip on the ''[[Darby Eva]]'', during which they encountered and fought a [[shark submarine|mechanical shark]]. {{storylink|Deep Trouble}} Chase found the fog to be very unpleasant, especially when it made it hard to see the mailboxes on Willow Street. When the Griffin Rock mainframe was hacked into, the Rescue Bots had to try and stop the out-of-control technology running rampant. {{storylink|Return of the Dinobot}} He struggled to reconcile the concept of compassionate policing. When [[Morocco|Doctor Morocco]] turned up with his [[MorBot]] and threatened to overshadow the Rescue Bots, the team was forced to compete with the doctor's invention to prove themselves worthy. Thanks to Morocco's machinations, they failed and were stood down from service. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} Chase began to investigate alternate career options and tried his hand at being a gourmet chef, though he turned out to be as good at it as he was at singing. After being called out to a fire at the lab, they got the chance to exact some payback on the MorBot. The team was subsequently reinstated as Griffin Rock's rescue service. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}

Chase turned down a visit to the [[Hall of Inspiration]] in favor of some speed trap detail. He later got the chance to see it when the team attended a break-in, and he apprehended the pair responsible. The disappearance of the three other Rescue Bots left him on his own, until he showed Cody a picture of the gun they'd been zapped with, and Cody recognized it. As a result, they were able to get Doc Greene to fix the [[Minimizer]] and restore Heatwave, Boulder and Blades. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} Chase helped save [[Wild|Captain Wild]]'s ship and search for "tunnel 15" in the tunnels below Griffin Rock. This led the team to discover [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]]'s ''[[Midgard]]'' 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}}

After the daring rescue of Huxley Prescott by the four bots, Chief Burns and Cody headed off to [[Griffin Crest]], leaving them with strict orders not to cross Canyon Road which Chase was determined to obey. He also found the [[Lad Pioneers Handbook]] among the camping equipment and began reading up on its contents. When an apparent distress call from Cody had the four bots head to the Crest, Chase refused to go past Canyon Road, and ended up faking a litter emergency to get the human half of the team to come help after losing contact with the other three Rescue Bots. They found that the others had fallen afoul of an [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] field, and Chase ended up using a [[bubble tent]] to rescue Heatwave from the [[Old Parker]] geyser. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}} Chase 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 ''[[Oaken Crow]]'', which led to them finding the ship and getting off the island. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}}

Chasing a crashed meteorite on [[Wayward Island]], the team ran into [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]]. Chase, Heatwave and Boulder checked out the meteorite and were unwittingly exposed to an alien virus. They slowly became to lose 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}} Chase and the team were called out to deal with a giant blob of [[Squilsh]]. Chase and the Chief tried to save some kids, and while protecting the Chief from the Squilsh, Chase was swallowed by it. He was barely able to communicate with the outside world on his comm, but the others eventually found a way to destroy the space goo, freeing him. {{storylink|You've Been Squilshed}}

{{spoiler|Countdown (RB)|July 28, 2012}}
When most of the town was teleported away by strange [[Tracer (RB)|bugs]], Chase caught one for [[Graham Burns|Graham]] to examine. Back at the fire station, the bots had their work cut out for them squashing bugs, but they were eventually able to track down where the townsfolk had been teleported to and rescue them. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}}
