'''Energon and technology have fallen into treacherous hands and it is up to the Burns family and their Bots to steal them back.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:Codys11 empty control room. someone call the cops we just got robbed...jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
[[Blades (RB)|Blades]], [[Cody Burns|Cody]] and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] watch a [[Maven Danger]] movie in which the title character steals an item back from his arch nemesis [[Dr. Nuh-uh]], though Chase is uncomfortable with the idea of theft even for a noble reason. [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]] contacts them with an alert — he's picked up an energy spike off the island. The team reaches the drilling platform at the provided coordinates, but doesn't find anyone aboard and assume it's all automated. They find the platform has uncovered raw [[Energon]], which poses a dangerously explosive risk. The team heads off, intending to come back and retrieve the energon once the storm's over, however [[Madeline Pynch]] decloaks having overheard the entire conversation. She's now aware of both the Energon's potential and the fact that the [[Rescue Bot]]s aren't what they seem.

The next day, the team returns to retrieve the energon. [[Graham Burns|Graham]] reports he's been unable to find out who owns the drilling rig. [[Boulder]] heads to the bottom of the ocean, only to find that the energon is gone, and Salvage is unable to detect any trace of it. As they prepare to head back to the fire house, Cody reminds them that the carnival is that night.

The carnival is later in full swing, with [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] helping small children cheat at the games. [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and Cody take a ride on the high tech Ferris wheel. They try to invite Kade to take a ride on it, but he refuses. The carnival is suddenly interrupted by a town-wide power failure, which causes the Ferris wheel to come loose and start rolling towards town. The rest of the team swings into action, managing to stop the ride before it can take a disastrous plunge over a cliff. Graham checks the power plant, but can't find anything wrong, and [[Charlie Burns|Chief]] takes a call from [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]] suggesting he watch the news. It turns to be a report from [[Huxley Prescott]] on Madeline Pynch's new product, "Pynchonium"-powered [[Pynch-Cell]]s. The Bots recognize the Pynchonium as Energon and they all realize she must have overheard their conversation. [[Quickshadow]] arrives through the [[GroundBridge]] to ask for their help, explaining that she's familiar with Pynch and believes the tycoon's plan is to control the world's energy supply. Boulder reveals the results of his analysis of the Pynch-Cells — they'll explode after a few days use. Realizing they have to get the stolen tech and energon back, they start working on a way to infiltrate Pynch's secure mainland compound. [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] demands codenames.

Graham and Boulder are soon setting up a cell interceptor outside the compound, while Kade and Chase set up road spikes to cripple Pynch's car. Madeline's phone call to [[Priscilla Pynch|her daughter]] is interrupted by the car being brought to a halt, and she calls for another car, unaware that her call's been intercepted. As Heatwave, Blades and Chief head over the compound in [[hologram|holographic]] disguise as a cloud, Pynch is picked up by Quickshadow and driven to the compound. Once she's inside, Quickshadow releases [[Servo (RB)|Servo]] from her <s>trunk</s>boot — Servo sneaks into the building and inserts a USB device into the computer, giving the team access to the security system. With the sensor network down, Blades drops off Heatwave and Chief so the pair can infiltrate the building. They rappel down an elevator shaft and find a secret room containing the tech they're after. While they're collecting it, Cody locates the Energon in the side building and alerts Chief.

Priscilla sits down to watch a movie, but finds she's unable to, and pulls out the USB device planted by Servo. The Rescue Team lose control of the security system, which sounds an alarm. Cue the start of plan B: Dani brings her high tech aircraft in for a faked emergency landing. Though she is unsuccessful in stalling Pynch, she's smuggled Chase and Kade into the compound in the cargo section of the jet and the pair head for the Energon. Pynch catches Chief and Heatwave trying to make off with the tech and immobilizes them. Revealing she knows about the Rescue Bots, she explains her plan to control the world's power supply. She uses the [[Verne device]]'s memory erasing power on them, however once she unfreezes them, they reveal that they had switched out the Verne device for a fake. Also Chief now has a recording of her confessing to sabotaging the power grid. She attempts to make a run for it, finding Dani, Chase and Kade in the process of making off with the Energon in the jet. Heatwave and Chief confront Pynch and she jumps into her waiting car to make her escape. Unfortunately the car in question is Quickshadow, who takes her off to Griffin Rock to be locked up.

Cody and Chief later add the stolen tech to the [[Best Left Forgotten Room]], and observe that the freezer seems to have failed, as evidenced by the puddle of water leaking from it. Inside, there's a half-melted chunk of ice, and a Morocco logo etched into the wall.

"Then why not just say that? I was worried sick!"
:—'''Blades''' and '''Graham'''

"If we're going to steal back our things, we need to sneak in. Yes, Chase?"
