'''Dither''' the '''Helper Bot''' assists [[Doc Greene]] and has an obsession with toast. Those, we can understand—it's the fact he has a wig and tie matching Doc Greene's hair and tie which is weird. He is nuclear powered. He appears to be Doc Greene's most intelligent invention...to an extent, considering the whole toast thing.

When [[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] visited Doc Greene to complain about the failure of the [[Griffin Rock]] lighthouse, Dither repeatedly offered him toast. After a piece of toast bounced off the Mayor's head causing him to turn red with rage, the Doc quickly blocked Dither from causing any more mischief. {{storylink|Deep Trouble}} Dither was trying to do inventory in the [[Hall of Inspiration]] archives when [[Aristotle]] and [[Edison]] started chasing it around. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}} [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] roped Dither into flying a small UFO around so she could make a film for her school multimedia project.

After discovering a time machine, Doc Greene reprogrammed Dither and sent him back to [[1939]] as a test. Encountering [[Thaddeus Morocco|Doctor Morocco]], Dither's human avoidance programming kicked in and he fled. [[Cody Burns]] and Frankie, who'd also been transported back in time, tracked him down and reprogrammed him again so they could use him to get home. Unfortunately he was fried while trying to free the Rescue Bots and left under a table. He was later found by scientists. {{storylink|It's a Bot Time}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

67.250.95.164: it may be amusing, but its ruining the fun of reading this. also, it's immature.

:''Patrick Donnelly is a [[human]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Movie SergeantDonnelly.jpg|right|251px|thumb|Pahk the cah on Hahvahd Yahd.]]

First Sergeant '''Patrick Donnelly'''<ref>Sgt. Donnelly's first name comes from the [[Top Trumps|Top Trumps Collectible Card Game]] for the 2007 movie.</ref> (also '''Donnely''' in some sources<ref>His name is spelled "Donnely" (single-L) in both the [[Transformers: Movie Adaptation|Movie Adaptation]] comic and the [[Transformers (novel)|novelization]].</ref>) is a membah of [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox's]] [[United States Army|US Army Ranger]] unit, a smart-mouthed Bostonian stationed at [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]]. He is the highest-ranked enlisted man in the unit (the 'top kick', not ta be confused wit [[Ironhide (Movie)|the TopKick]]). As such, he should totally display exemplary leadership skills; however, he's the guy that thinks [[Rattrap|we're all gonna die.]]

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007) movie===
:''Actor:'' [[Zack Ward]] (English)

[[Image:Movie Donnelly Epps weekends.jpg|left|300px|thumb|"Uh, Epps, you're leakin' brain fluid..."]]

Coming back from a mission behind enemy lines, Lennox's men discussed what they were going to do once they got home. Donnelly asked his buddies if they remembered weekends, how enjoyable a flat beer and a cold [[hot dog]] while watching the Red Sox at Fenway was, to which they agreed, suggesting that they all wanted to go home to enjoy their weekends and not a reflection on the quality of food served at the base mess.

After SOCCENT was destroyed by [[Blackout (Movie)|a mysterious MH-53 Pave Low that turned into a giant robot]], Donnelly expressed disbelief when [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] theorized that the reason their small-arms fire bounced off the enemy was due to some kind of invisible force field. Donnelly scoffed, saying that sort of imaginary technology only existed in fiction such as comic books. A spooked [[Jorge Figueroa|Figueroa]] commented that his mother had a gift of premonition, and it was passed on to him, to which Donnelly remarked that Fig should use his magic voodoo powers to get them back home.

[[Image:Movie2007_Donnelly_Scorponok.jpg|thumb|300px|<div align="right"><span style="float:left;padding-left:100px;">Stab!</span> Ah've bin stahb'd!</div>]]

Later that day, as they neared local boy [[Mahfouz]]'s village, a [[Scorponok (Movie)|tremor]] in the sand caused a billboard tower to come down and crash directly behind Donnelly. The oblivious sergeant asked Fig what that was, prompting Fig to exclaim (in Spanish) that the tower fell over and almost killed him. Suddenly, Epps fired wildly into the sand as a large spiked metal tail sneaked up behind Lennox. Donnelly joined in as the tail revealed itself to be a huge metal scorpion that dove into the sand and out of sight. Still again, Donnelly searched the ground for signs of the creature when it silently slid outta the sand from behind and impaled him on his tail, dragging him under the sand, never to be seen again. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers (2007)}}

==Notes==
* [[Jeff Kline]] stated that ''Rescue Bots'' and ''Prime'' occupy the same continuity, and do so because he felt two ''Transformers'' shows on the same network should share the same mythology. This is why ''Rescue Bots'' takes place on an island, so that it can exist in a relatively insulated bubble from the more dangerous plot elements of the older-skewing ''Prime''. There may be some character crossovers later.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=84946 "Steve Blum/Jeff Kline Fan-Media Interviews!" at The Allspark]</ref>
