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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Transformers references===
* The big green guy of the group [[Bulkhead (Animated)|likes to paint]].
===Real-world references===
*A panel on the computer on Morocco's blimp is drawn to resemble [[R2-D2]]'s torso.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Though [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] covers the solar panel with a tarp and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] rips out the battery, the car springs back into life. The Rescue Bots, joined by Prescott, follow it to the town hall, where it's narrowly prevented from squashing the mayor by the MorBot. Morocco turns up to take the credit, and Luskey announces that Morocco is the new lead scientist. Frankie swears to get to the bottom of this, but the mayor stands the Rescue Bots down.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Redubbed [[Trex]], the dinosaur has been pressed into service fetching coffee and guarding the lab. Doc Greene explains that the lab has been broken into recently and left behind items such as the [[nanite]]s. Cody recognizes the logo on the nanites from the [[shark submarine]] wreckage. Greene believes the intruder is trying to hack into the town's central computer. The Burns family leaves to investigate a report from the mayor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Animation and technical errors===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Don't you ever scare us like that again!"

:—'''Kade''' and '''Heatwave''' finally agree on something, to the latter's distaste.

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

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

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

===Trivia===
* Rescue Bots have no trouble transforming with humans still inside. Chase transforms with Chief Burns still inside, does acrobatics and throws the robo-landscaper around, and after he returns to vehicle mode, Burns pops out without any apparent ill effects. Heatwave also transforms with Kade still inside.
* Boulder can use his windshield as a display screen.
* What exactly did Kade and Heatwave hope to achieve by simply standing in the lava's path? With no water to cool it, they both would have been burned alive had Blades and Dani not saved the day.
* This episode title is ''[[wikipedia:Queen (band)|Queen]]'' and [[wikipedia:David Bowie|David Bowie]]'s [[wikipedia:Under Pressure|song title of the same name]].

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

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

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

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

===Trivia===
* Rescue Bots have no trouble transforming with humans still inside. Chase transforms with Chief Burns still inside, does acrobatics and throws the robo-landscaper around, and after he returns to vehicle mode, Burns pops out without any apparent ill effects. Heatwave also transforms with Kade still inside.
* Boulder can use his windshield as a display screen.

'''Cody gains fame as the newest superhero when he participates in dangerous rescues.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Rescue Boy Blades vs fireworks.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"IT'S PINK AND SPARKLY! GET IT OFF!!"]]
As fireworks burst in the air, [[Huxley Prescott]] covers a fire at a pyrotechnics factory. While [[Boulder]] and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] fight the fire and save people from the ground, [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] tries to move in by the air. [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] and [[Cody Burns|Cody]] try to move bystanders away, and the Chief reminds his son that that includes him. Nearby, [[Sharma|Mr Sharma]] is distracted by the fireworks and runs his forklift into supporting beams. Cody rushes in to get him out, but makes the mistake of going back for his [[hoverboard]]. The roof starts caving in, and Cody uses the hoverboard to deflect falling debris until [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and his dad can grab him out of the warehouse.

[[Image:Rescue Boy testing the badge.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
After the team returns to the fire station, the others tell Cody off for running into a collapsing warehouse and Chief grounds him. The Bots think they can come up with a way to keep Cody safe, though their solutions of an extremely-padded suit and sticking him in the [[bubble tent]] aren't ideal. Cody decides to consult [[Doc Greene]] instead. Doc comes up with a solution based on the hoverboard, and invites everyone to the lab for a demonstration.

Doc Greene fits Cody with a repulsor badge, which deflects incoming projectiles and at full strength renders the boy invulnerable. Doc Greene warns him not to power it up to full too often to avoid overloads. Cody's soon helping [[Graham Burns|Graham]] change a tire on [[Edgar Prewett]]'s truck while [[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] unveils a statue nearby. When Edgar's load of pipes comes loose, Boulder manages to stop two of them, but the third hurtles towards the group by the statue. Cody powers up his badge and manages to destroy the last pipe. Impressed, the Mayor and Huxley pronounce him a superhero and he accidentally coins the name "Rescue Boy".

[[Image:Rescue Boy badge confiscated.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Cody's soon setting himself up with a supersuit, while Chase and Blades consult comics for proper superhero procedure. Chief gives him a lecture about responsible use of the badge. Regardless, Cody next employs his superpowers stopping an out-of-control garbage truck by knocking down a tree. While he's interviewed by Prescott, Chief pulls him aside to tell him off and confiscate the repulsor badge.

[[Image:Rescue Boy Boulder rescues Cody.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Another emergency call alerts the team to a boy trapped up a transmitter tower while trying to retrieve a kite. As the high winds make it impossible for Blades to get close, the other Rescue Bots brace the tower while Kade tries to climb up, but he's blown off by the wind. "Rescue Boy" suddenly appears, grabbing [[Billy (RB)|Billy]] off the tower. Huxley tries to interview him, but Cody spots his very annoyed family waiting nearby. Moments later his badge starts sparking. With the badge overloading, Cody ends up trapped in a bubble of energy, with powerful arcs knocking aside any Bot who comes close.

Graham visits Doc Greene, who has a neutralizing glove that can penetrate the repulsor field. Boulder takes a bunch of robot-sized gloves to where Cody's still trapped and the Rescue Bots attempt to get near him. The field's power is too strong and keeps knocking them back. Cody comes up with an idea—if the Bots move slowly enough, they might not trip the badge's movement sensors. Finally Boulder is able to get close enough to pull the badge free and throw it into the air before it explodes. Cody is shaken but unharmed, and the Chief says maybe he can be on some rescue missions in future.

'''The Rescue Bots lead the rescue efforts when a series of earthquakes strike the island.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:ShakeUp Rescue Bots in costume.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
[[Cody Burns|Cody]] and the [[Rescue Bot]]s have just been watching a classic comedy film, though [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] is confused by the whole concept of humor. When [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] points out they're supposed to be studying humans, Chase promises to research comedy. They're interrupted by the arrival of a small UFO which flies around the station before heading towards the newly-arrived [[Frankie Greene]]. Frankie yells "cut!", at which point the UFO lands, revealing itself to be piloted by [[Dither]]. She's creating a film for her school multimedia assignment. [[Kade Burns|Kade]], who wants to be in the film too, obligingly orders the bots to do everything Frankie says. She soon has them kitted up and demands they dance. Heatwave plays dumb. [[Doc Greene]] arrives to show off his dance moves, but according to Frankie, his moves are a bit rusty. As Frankie and the Doc leave so he can practice some more, [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] reminds the Bots to keep their cover whenever Frankie is filming them.

[[Image:ShakeUp Chase saves Cody and Frankie.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Danger? Pssh, I have a video-camera. Nothing hurts the director!"]]
Later, Cody is cycling along [[Lake Street]] when an [[Earthquake (event)|earthquake]] strikes. He outruns the tremor, but [[Jerry (RB)|Jerry]]'s bus is trapped in a crack and Frankie is on hand with her video camera. As the team heads there, Chase shares his attempts at humor with the Chief. The Bots are hampered by having pretend to be robots, but they still manage to save Jerry. As [[Graham Burns|Graham]] puzzles over the origin of the quake, another one strikes and Chase saves Cody and Frankie from being crushed by a dish, though it doesn't dampen Frankie's desire to film everything. A gas main breaks and catches fire, and the team works to put it out while under Frankie's watchful eye. The Chief finally has [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] take Frankie away to make it easier to work.

[[Image:ShakeUp Rescue Bots carry subwoofer.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Back at the station, the Bots are preparing to watch another movie when Frankie arrives to get her props. She's surprised to find the underground bunker and decides the tunnels leading out of it would be great in her movie. Luckily the rest of the team arrive, and Chief tells her they need the bunker. They're soon set up for a briefing and Graham tells the others that he's tracked the tremors to the tunnels under [[Griffin Rock]]. After another attempt at humor by Chase, the team heads into the tunnels to stop the tremors before something worse than a broken gas main happens. Frankie, returning to get her props, hears their voices in the tunnel and follows them in.

[[Image:ShakeUp Frankie's music video.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"I dance in the face of your 'how did she get that footage?!' questions!"]]
They soon reach what appears to be a dead end—what turns out to be a store room for extra technology from the [[Hall of Inspiration]]. They quickly find a huge subwoofer, which Graham realizes is responsible for the quakes. The speaker starts another quake, and Chief instructs the Bots to carry it above ground. As they do so, they hear Frankie's cries as she's caught in a caving-in tunnel, and Heatwave goes to find her. Finding her with her foot is trapped under rocks, he works on getting her free while continuing to act like a robot. He alerts the rest of the team, now outside, and Chief heads back in with the other Bots. Boulder attempts to use his sonar, but the vibrations cause more collapsing, and as Heatwave frantically tries to tell Boulder to stop, he breaks character. The dust clears, and he sees she's passed out. Chief and the other Bots arrive and save her.

Outside, the speaker starts again, and the three Burns siblings realize it's playing music. Graham tracks the signal back to the Hall of Inspiration where Doc Greene is dancing to a jukebox. Later on Frankie brings her completed movie to the station to show everyone. Luckily there's nothing incriminating on it, and it's just Frankie's music video. As she leaves, she thanks Heatwave by name and the others wonder how much she actually knows.

'''A lie means that when Chief Burns and Chase become trapped in an underground mine, the Bots and Burns siblings have to search for them.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:LittleWhiteLies Chief saves cat.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Face it, Mrs Neederlander. Your cat just doesn't like you."]]
As heavy rain comes down, [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] tries to retrieve [[Mister Pettypaws]] from the statue of [[Horace Burns]] in the town square. [[Neederlander|Mrs Neederlander]] demands to know where the [[Rescue Bot]]s are, but they're busy dealing with an overflow by sandbagging a section of street. That done, [[Kade Burns|Kade]] challenges [[Graham Burns|Graham]] to a race to the square. Unfortunately [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]'s arrival at the square coincides with Mister Pettypaws deciding to vacate the statue in favor of the road. Heatwave swerves and ends up on a collision course with [[Boulder]] instead. The two Bots narrowly miss each other, taking out the statue and a fire hydrant.

[[Image:LittleWhiteLies Chief Chase enter mine.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
After the cleanup, Graham almost gives away the fact that they haven't forgotten Dad's birthday—the kids have a surprise party planned. Chief Burns announces he's heading to the river to check everything's OK there. He and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] instead head to the bakery and pick up a cake. Chase is perturbed by Chief's lying about where they were going, but Chief describes it as white lie, as he doesn't want to make the kids feel bad about forgetting his birthday. Chase still isn't happy about it, but they're interrupted by a call from [[Cody Burns|Cody]] to see if they're going to be back soon. The call is cut off as Chief and Chase drive near the lead mine. When Chief hears a banging noise in the mine, the pair stop to check it out. Though it turns out to just be a window, the floor suddenly collapses, dropping Chase and the Chief into the mine. Unable to make outgoing calls, they head further in to find another way out.

Back at base, the rest of the team are confused by their inability to contact Chief or Chase. They head down to the river, where Cody checks the security camera footage with the [[ComTab]], only to find that there's no sign of anyone on the recording. They start searching.

[[Image:LittleWhiteLies Chief in cart.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Trudging through the mine, Chase brings up the whole lying thing again, and Chief points out that Chase also lies when he pretends to be a robot in front of the townspeople. They reach an area with a control panel. While the Chief fishes a lantern out of a mine cart, Chase activates a switch to try and turn the lights on. Unfortunately this sends Burns's mine-cart careening down the track towards a hole, and Chase has to execute a last-minute rescue. They continue their search through the mine, and as Chief observes it's getting late, Chase offers his front seat. As the Chief drifts off to sleep, water begins spreading around Chase's wheels.

The next morning, the team returns to base without having found any sign of Chase or the Chief. They decide to ask around the island, but before they can do so, they get a call from [[Pfeiffer|Mr Pfeiffer]] at the bakery to ask how they enjoyed the cake. Putting two and two together, the kids realize that it's partly their fault for making Chief think they forgot his birthday. They check the map and pinpoint the lead mine as the likely place for Chase and the Chief to be. At the mine, they find the hole in the floor and start searching around outside.

[[Image:LittleWhiteLies Chief salutes Chase.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Chase wakes the Chief to alert him to the rising water, and they continue on with Chief riding inside the Rescue Bot. They eventually reach a hole leading to a cavern near the mine entrance, which Chief climbs though. Chase attempts to widen the hole so he can follow, but this causes a cave-in that traps him. A falling rock also strikes the Chief, injuring his arm.

Cody spots Chase's footprints at the bottom of the hole, so Boulder checks with his sonar and detects movement. Boulder, Blades, Dani and Graham head into the hole to search and encounter a large quantity of bats. Meanwhile, Cody, Kade and Heatwave find the other entrance to the mine and break it open. Inside they spot Chief floating in the steadily-rising water of the cavern and Kade goes down to try and fish him out. The attempts of the other Rescue Bots to break through cause a a sudden whirlpool that sucks Chief under. As the water drains from the cavern, Boulder emerges from the hole with Dani, Graham and the Chief, safe and sound.

Later, the family sits down to a birthday dinner and, everyone pretends to enjoy the cake Dani made.

'''Ghosts haunt and terrorize the residents of Griffin Rock.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:HauntingGriffinRock ghost appears on road.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
[[Jerry (RB)|Jerry]] is driving an armored truck through rough weather when he suddenly spots a spectral figure standing in the road. He swerves, crashing through a barrier and plunging from a cliff. The Burns family and their [[Rescue Bot]]s are soon out searching and find Jerry clinging to rocks but no sign of the truck. Once [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] fishes Jerry out of the water, they question him and he claims to have see the ghost of the [[Charlotte Wayne|Lady of Griffin Rock]].

The next morning, the Bots ask Cody to explain ghosts and he does his best, though Blades still doesn't want to meet one, having seen all the ''[[Haunted Halls]]'' movies. Cody's interrupted by a call from [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]], who has seen [[Huxley Prescott]]'s news report on the ghost and believes it's time to test [[Doc Greene]]'s [[Spectral Vapor Filter]]. The pair meet at the [[Hall of Inspiration]], where Frankie points out the portrait of Charlotte Wayne, the Lady of Griffin Rock. Cody takes a picture to show the driver, and Frankie hands him a Filter. When Cody arrives back at the station, [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] is checking on [[Evan (RB)|Evan]] and [[Myles]]. Cody's attempts to tell the Chief about Charlotte are interrupted by a call from [[Russell]] at the bank, reporting a ghost. Cody gives the Chief the Filter before he takes the team to investigate.

[[Image:HauntingGriffinRock Heatwave vs ghost soldier.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Hands to yourself, metal man!"]]
The team arrives at the bank in time for the security system to seal off the building. The team are startled when a [[Ghost Soldier]] appears and floats into a vault. [[Boulder]] opens the vault but the soldier floats back out. To Blades's discomfort, the team splits up to follow it, but after it has a brief encounter with [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]], the team follows the ghost outside until it vanishes through a wall. Cody alerts them to the alarm at the bank, and the team rushes back to find the vault empty.

Cody alerts them to more trouble—there's reports of ghosts all over town! A [[Ghost Cook|ghost]] at the restaurant causes a fire which Heatwave and Kade put out, but Kade's startled by the ghost and flees. Another [[Ghost Inventor|ghost]] scares people at a jewelery store and passes right through Boulder and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]]. Cody suggests using the Spectral Vapor Filter, but the device only holds the ghost temporarily. Kade reports that the register at the restaurant has been emptied. Prescott tries to interview a [[Ghost Gangster|ghost]], only to be frightened off. As he speeds away, the dish is clipped off his van by an overhanging tree, and Chase has to save a couple of bystanders from being flattened by it. [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and Blades also have a close encounter with a ghost.

[[Image:HauntingGriffinRock Arthur vs Filter.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Frankie recognizes [[Elma Hendrickson|one of the ghosts]] on the news report and shows the picture to Doc Greene. They grab Cody and check out the portraits at the Hall of Inspiration, which all turn out to be the people who are appearing as ghosts. They're caught unawares by a ghost popping through the wall, and when Frankie uses her Spectral Vapor Filter on it, it only holds the ghost for a few seconds. Then they realize that it's just the [[hologram]] of [[Chester A. Arthur]]. This leads them down a new line of thinking, and the soon determine that the ghosts are appearing where there are hologram projectors. Among the holograms in the database are Evan and Myles.

[[Image:HauntingGriffinRock multiple thieves.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Chief Burns soon determines that the pair are no longer locked up, having left holograms in their cells. Cody comes up with a plan, and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] and Boulder are called off from the jewelery store.
As Evan and Myles loot the store, the Rescue Bots surround the entrance with the help of hologram Bots. When the pair come up, along with their own hologram duplicates, they're swiftly chased down by Heatwave. Kade briefly see the Lady of Griffin Rock again and waves her off as a hologram.

Later, at the Hall of Inspiration, Frankie puts on a show of the holograms, as they were originally intended to be seen. Kade wonders where the Lady of Griffin Rock is, and Doc Greene points out she was never in the hologram database.

'''Cody and the Rescue Bots try to solve the vanishing mystery when the residents of Griffin Rock start disappearing.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Countdown Cody cycles through town.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"I saw something like this on TV once. It didn't end well."]]
[[Dither]] is pursued around the archive room by [[Edison]] and [[Aristotle]], who are in turn being chased by [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] and [[Doc Greene]]. During the chase, one of the dogs knocks over a drum full of small spheres that turn into bugs. One lands on Doc Greene's nose, and when Frankie comes to find him, he's gone. The bugs quickly depart from the [[Hall of Inspiration]] and start spreading out. Soon cars are crashing, driverless and people are disappearing all over [[Griffin Rock]]. As [[Cody Burns|Cody]] takes a call from [[Sharma|Mr Sharma]], he sees [[Harrison (RB)|Mr Harrison]]'s empty helipack fly past. [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] report finding empty campsites while [[Dani Burns|Dani]] reports empty ships at sea. The emergency calls all stop. After [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] stops a runaway truck, he turns around to find that [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] has disappeared too.

[[Image:Countdown Graham examines bug.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Cody cycles through deserted streets to rendezvous with the rest of the team at the location the Chief was last seen. Though Heatwave blames the shrink ray, Cody doesn't think it's likely and a few moments later a man disappears in front of their eyes. When they spot the bugs running around, everyone piles into the bots for safety. Chase manages to catch one of the bugs, so [[Graham Burns|Graham]] suggests returning to the fire station so he can take a look at it. On the way, Cody gets a call from Frankie who's still in the archive. Blades makes a stop so they can pick her up, but they then have to shake off the swarm by flying through the wind farm. Back at the fire station, Graham pokes at the bug they caught and discovers a link to an experiment in the 50s to open [[subspace]] wormholes with quantum crystals. Graham explains that the townspeople have all been transported someplace else, but before he can explain the solution he's come up with, the bug lands on him and he disappears.

Graham lands up somewhere pitch black in the middle of his sentence. As he calls out, he's found by the Chief who says half the town is there. Graham and Greene swap notes before Greene shows them the power generator he's found. Chief switches it on and they find they're in a cavern with a half-built encampment. As they speculate as to where they are, Dani arrives and tells them the bugs got into the fire house.

[[Image:Countdown consulting Baranova.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Upstairs, Kade, Cody and Frankie deal with the bugs that got in, while the [[Rescue Bot]]s splatter the bugs that get into the garage. Blades manages to trap one in a jar, and [[Boulder]] discovers it doesn't like when he taps on the glass. Frankie gets the idea to contact [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]]. Baranova says the bugs are [[Tracer (RB)|tracers]], part of the [[Sanctuary Plan]] project to safeguard the island's population in case of a cataclysm. The Sanctuary shelter turned out to be unstable, and the plan was shut down, but the location of the shelter is a mystery. Baranova is teleported by a tracer before they can go get her. Piling into Heatwave, the kids head for the lab to check for information on the Sanctuary Plan.

[[Image:Countdown everyone in the cavern.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Back in the sanctuary, the trapped people have found they don't have any provisions, and quakes are making the cavern unstable, so they prepare to dig themselves out. Heatwave reaches the laboratory, but as Cody, Frankie and Kade get inside, Kade is zapped by a tracer. Frankie comes up with a blueprint for the shelter shortly before a tracer gets her, and Cody can only find that it's located in the biggest cavern under Griffin Rock. He disappears just as he's reporting his findings to Heatwave. The rest of the bots arrive, having found a sonic signal that disables the bugs, and the four bots resolve to search every cave under the island. Chase points out the nearby mountain, which Boulder says also happens to be called Griffin Rock, and Blades remembers seeing a door. The four bots race there and break through the slab blocking the entrance to the cavern, freeing everyone. Frankie makes Cody promise not to mention to anyone she's afraid of the dark.

'''The Bots and Burns must stop a giant glob of space slime before it consumes the town.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:YouveBeenSquilshed Frankie gets squilshed.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
The Burns family plays basketball, though [[Kade Burns|Kade]] doesn't think it's fair that [[Cody Burns|Cody]] gets the benefit of [[anti-gravity sneaker]]s. Cody points out [[Doc Greene]] only made one pair. They're interrupted by [[Dani Burns|Dani]] with the mail, including a letter from [[Gremsky Technical Institute]] for [[Graham Burns|Graham]]. It turns out they've accepted him, but as it would mean moving to the mainland and leaving the team, Graham opts to mull it over. Cody receives a call on his cell that triggers the anti-gravity sneakers, and ends up answering it from nearby bushes—it's a call from [[Frankie Greene]] telling him to come to the lab urgently.

Arriving there by [[hoverboard]], Cody finds Frankie and [[Doc Greene]] playing with [[Squilsh]], a slimy compound created from a sample from [[Mars (planet)|Mars]]. After a blob is subject to an electric shock, it begins acting strangely intelligent, and eats the Doc's scissors. They chase it around the lab until it consumes a bucket of water and then escapes into the outside world. As it heads towards town, Cody calls the emergency line and alerts Kade. Kade has to view video footage to be convinced, but calls out the team. On their way to intercept the Squilsh, Graham and [[Boulder]] discuss Graham's possible move to Gremsky Tech.

[[Image:YouveBeenSquilshed Blades squilshes Squilsh.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"If you don't give back Mister Pettypaws, I'll put you in a WORLD OF PAIN!"]]
The team finds the Squilsh heading through the park. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] attempts to stop it by spraying it with water, but that only makes it bigger. [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] contacts Doc Greene, who's still working on the problem, and Blades watches with horror as the Squilsh eats [[Mister Pettypaws]]. The Squilsh heads towards a bunch of kids on the playground, so [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and the Chief get them to flee, but the Chief's foot is caught in a ladder. Though Chase protects him, the [[Rescue Bot]] is swallowed by the Squilsh. Burns contacts him over the comm, but the blob quickly moves out of the comm range, so the team chases it. Heatwave, particularly infuriated by the Squilsh, saves a driver from it and then throws a power line at Squilsh—the blob is shocked into expelling Mister Pettypaws, but escapes before they can likewise retrieve Chase.

[[Image:YouveBeenSquilshed Boulder and Graham zap Squilsh.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Dani reports that the blob is heading out of town. Graham believes electricity is key, and they set up an ambush with batteries on [[Old Canyon Road]]. The charge doesn't appear to phase the Squilsh, which eats the batteries. Graham and Boulder soon realize the difference is alternating current versus direct current. While they're mulling over that with Doc Greene, Dani alerts them to the fact that the Squilsh is heading for [[Griffin Rock Community Pool]].

[[Image:YouveBeenSquilshed Boulder in Squilsh.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
When they get there, the pool is deserted. Kade notes that the pool's looking distinctly dirty, but they quickly discover that that's because it's filled with Squilsh, not water. The steadily-growing blob almost takes out Blades and Dani. Meanwhile, Greene works out a formula to discover how big a charge is needed and contacts the Burnses who are in the middle of being menaced. While Blades airlifts out the others, Graham and Boulder stick around to try and deal with the Squilsh with the pool's electrical box. Boulder stands by the power switch, Graham unhooks the power cable and, as it eats Boulder, dives in. The blob explodes from the electrical charge, leaving the swimmers, Graham, Chase and Boulder all safe and sound.

Back at the fire station, Kade's cleaning Boulder when Cody arrives with a Squilsh lava lamp for Graham to use at school. Graham, however, has decided not to go because being on the rescue team gives him more practical experience.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
===Continuity errors===
*Maybe Doc Greene was simplifying the definition of life for Cody and Frankie (maybe without reason; they're both pretty smart kids), but there are thousands of beings without "minds" that are considered alive, including plants, microbes, fungi, and sponges. Quite a few animal taxa, such as ants, have consciousness without intellect or self-awareness, and therefore could be said to have brains but not minds.

===Continuity notes===
*Cody's hoverboard, previously only seen on his Hubworld profile, makes its first appearance.
===Real-world references===
*An obvious homage to ''The Blob'', the classic 1950s sci fi movie starring Steve McQueen, with elements thrown in from the decidedly more horrific 1988 remake and - in terms of the light comedy aspects - the nearly-forgotten 1970s spoof sequel to the original film directed by Larry Hagman, ''Beware! The Blob''.
*There have been many missions to Mars, though so far none have actually brought back samples.

'''Bumblebee pays the Rescue Bots a visit just in time to help investigate a mysterious meteor.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:BumblebeeRescue Bots check meteorite.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Maybe we can call it '[[Meteorini Chipperoni|Meteorini Coderoni]]' or something."]]
[[Cody Burns]] and the [[Rescue Bot]]s are engaging in a spot of star gazing when they spot a shooting star. As they watch, the meteor crashes on nearby [[Wayward Island]]. The next day the Bots and the Burns family arrive on the island to investigate. As they move through the fog-enshrouded woods, they become aware that there's someone else out there. Luckily it turns out to be a friend—[[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]]! [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] is particularly excited to meet the [[Autobot]], who was tracking the meteor and decided to visit the Rescue Bots.

While Blades and [[Dani Burns|Dani]] take to the air, the others spread out to find the meteorite. Blades is too excited to avoid hitting tree tops, but when Dani reminds him of their mission, he points out where the meteorite has landed. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]], [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Boulder]] check out the rock for radiation before giving the all-clear for the humans to approach it. Meanwhile, Blades tries to drop his hook so Bumblebee can ride on it, and ends up getting caught on a tree, requiring a rescue by Bumblebee. Blades is chagrined.

[[Image:BumblebeeRescue Blades and Bumblebee prop wall.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
The other Bots have finished putting out fires and making sure the meteor is safe, so everyone heads back to the boat where Bumblebee asks to use their comm screen to contact [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] once they get back to the fire station. Optimus is glad the meteorite is safe and instructs Bumblebee to stay with the Rescue Bots for a few days to gain experience. Though everyone is excited to have Bumblebee around, [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] alerts them to an emergency—a retaining wall is nearing collapse, endangering houses. Bumblebee and Cody monitor things from the station, but partway through the operation, Boulder, Heatwave and Chase abruptly [[transformation|transform]] to [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] and can't change back. Blades is left propping up the wall by himself, at least until Bumblebee roars up and helps. The three stricken Autobots find they can't even drive by themselves, and have to be driven back to the fire station, and on the way they suddenly lose the ability to communicate.

[[Image:BumblebeeRescue infected bots.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Kade, Graham, we seriously need to talk about regular trips to the carwash."]]
Cody realizes the meteor is to blame, and they contact Optimus again. He passes the information on to [[Ratchet (Prime)|the medic]], who points out the Rescue Bots' ship has an antidote in it, provided they can get a sample of the meteorite and work out which one to use. Also, he instructs them to destroy the meteorite.

With the three Bots now becoming covered in goop, the Burns family launches another mission to Wayward Island, and Bumblebee insists on coming along. The seas are rough, and as they approach the island, the ''[[Darby Eva]]'' hits rocks. [[Graham Burns|Graham]] is knocked overboard. Bumblebee drives in to save him, and manages to get him to catch onto a rope, but in the process sinks into an undersea trench. Blades heads out from the fire station to lend a hand while the Burnses find they have two more problems—the boat's engine won't start, and the bomb they brought to deal with the meteorite has activated. They have four minutes before it explodes, and it can't be switched off.

[[Image:BumblebeeRescue Blades and Bumblebee fly with bomb.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Blades arrives and successfully fishes Bumblebee out of the ocean. The pair grab the bomb and head towards the island where Bumblebee punches a hole in the meteorite and sticks the bomb in. As it explodes, the two Bots return to the ''Darby Eva'' where they fall victim to the virus. Fortunately Bumblebee picked up a sample of the meteorite, which the humans analyze using tech from the Rescue Bots' ship. They're soon able to use the correct antidote to cure the five Bots. Before Bumblebee leaves, Dani takes pictures of them all together and to Blades' surprise, the yellow Autobot requests a picture with him.

===Animation and technical errors===
===Continuity errors===
[[Image:BumblebeeRescue Bumblebee on branch.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
*How the heck does that tree branch support Bumblebee's weight?
*The virus from the meteorite affects Bumblebee and Blades a lot faster than it did the other Bots.

===Continuity notes===
*Bumblebee, unsurprisingly, beeps just like he does in ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)| Prime]]''.
*This episode plays coyly with continuity, hinting at the existence of, but refraining from talking in-depth about, concepts and characters that are part of the shared Aligned continuity this series occupies, but which have otherwise not previously been brought up in the ''Rescue Bots'' cartoon. For instance, the Decepticons are not mentioned by name, merely as "those who would do [the Autobots] harm". The specific circumstances of Bumblebee losing his voicebox to [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] are glossed as it being lost "in the line of duty". Optimus Prime refers to [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]], but only as "our medic".

===Real-world references===
===Foreign localization===
===Trivia===
*Like the Rescue Bots, Bumblebee shows the ability to carry a human inside him while in robot mode, something he hasn't done on ''Prime''.
*Although more than likely just a coincidence, the idea of a transformation-paralyzing virus transmitted via green mist is highly reminiscent of the [[transformation virus]] from ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]''.
*Optimus addresses the virus in a way that makes it sound like disease is a foreign concept to the Autobots, apparently forgetting that he contracted [[Sick Mind|the Cybonic Plague]].
*Looks like [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] isn't the [[Cody Burns|only one]] who can understand Bumblebee now.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Cody finds a clue to an old mystery and makes a startling underwater discovery.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:GriffinRockTriangle Cody finds plate.jpg|thumb|left|250px|This is one instance where you probably do ''not'' want to lick the plate clean.]]
[[Wild|Captain Wild]] is having boat problems, as in his boat is beginning to sink. [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] and [[Dani Burns]] head out and quickly locate the boat, but when they attach a cable to it, it pulls Blades under as well. At the fire station, [[Cody Burns]] alerts the rest of the team, who scramble. The boat lands up on the very edge of a trench. Blades converts to robot mode and struggles to pull it away from the edge until the other bots arrive to help. They carry the boat back to land where Cody meets them and Wild blames the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]]. While Dani takes Wild to the hospital, the others discuss the Triangle and how boats have disappeared there. [[Graham Burns|Graham]] inspects Wild's boat and finds it's sound and shouldn't have sunk, while Cody spots something in Wild's lobster pots.

[[Image:GriffinRockTriangle Graham and Cody in trouble.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"When I said I liked diving into mysteries, this isn't what I meant!"]]
He cleans his find to discover it's a plate with an intriguing serpent design on it. He takes it to [[Doc Greene]], who consults the database and turns up a reference to a 28-year-old [[Midgard|Project Midgard]] and something [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] recognizes as a reference number. They head to the archive in the [[Hall of Inspiration]] where Cody finds an old film reel. When Doc Greene plays it, it turns out to be a log by one [[Anna Baranova|Professor Anna Baranova]], describing her project to build a mobile lab, the ''[[Midgard]]'', to be launched from tunnel 15 to investigate the Griffin Rock Triangle.

Cody is curious to know what happened to Baranova and gets Graham and the Bots to help him search the tunnels under the island. They come up empty until [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] mentions he saw tunnels with letters on, which Graham says are Roman numerals. They find the tunnel in question, and within, they discover a mooring station. While exploring it, they somehow trigger the docking sequence, and Graham and Cody are trapped in the rapidly-filling airlock. They manage to find the emergency override, but Graham and the Bots decide it's too dangerous to continue there. That doesn't stop Cody from pushing a button, revealing an old video player with a videotape in it.

[[Image:GriffinRockTriangle Baranova's video.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
The Burns family watches the tape, on which Baranova describes how an underwater vent is periodically releasing large bubbles of methane which cause ship sinkings, and how she intends to launch a mission in the ''Midgard'' to drop an explosive in the vent to seal it. [[Charlie Burns]] recalls meeting Baranova and that she disappeared. While [[Kade Burns|Kade]] declares case closed, Cody still wants to know what happened, and they get the idea to launch an expedition to find the ''Midgard''.

[[Image:GriffinRockTriangle Midgard teaset.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Ooooh, cutlery!"]]
Venturing back into the ocean, the team reaches the edge of the undersea trench and quickly find the crashed ''Midgard''. As Blades peers in a porthole, he momentarily sees a familiar figure. They board the ''Midgard'', and are indeed confronted by Professor Baranova, who has survived the last 28 years. She's not particularly keen on being rescued, but shows them around. She explains that the ''Midgard'' was caught in a methane eruption and crashed, wrecking both the engines and communications. The explosive device itself is intact, but the only way to use it would be to push the lab over into the trench, and Baranova's not really keen on destroying her home, fearing how the surface world will have changed. Cody is determined and after a brief talk from him, she changes her mind.

While the other bots push the station to the edge, Chief Burns and Baranova set the explosive to go off after a minute and evacuate in [[Chase (RB)|Chase]]. The [[Rescue Bot]]s push and, despite a hairy moment with a rock, manage to get the ''Midgard'' over the cliff. They climb out of the trench before the explosive goes off, sealing the vent for good. Back on the surface, Doc Greene shows off how they're building a replica of the ''Midgard'' for Baranova to live in, as way of a thank you for dealing with the Triangle.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Quotes==
"What's more human than game shows and cartoons?"
:—'''Blades'''

"Shame." 
"I was quite ready to rumble."
:—'''Boulder''' and '''Chase''' are disappointed the giant robot fight didn't happen.

"MorBot decommissioned." 
"And the less MorBot the better."
:—'''Chase''' and '''Boulder''' get their fight.

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

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

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

===Transformers references===
* The big green guy of the group [[Bulkhead (Animated)|likes to paint]].
===Real-world references===
*A panel on the computer on Morocco's blimp is drawn to resemble [[R2-D2]]'s torso.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* Rescue Bots have no trouble transforming with humans still inside. Chase transforms with Chief Burns still inside, does acrobatics and throws the robo-landscaper around, and after he returns to vehicle mode, Burns pops out without any apparent ill effects. Heatwave also transforms with Kade still inside.
* Boulder can use his windshield as a display screen.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Burns takes the rest of his family in the old squad car, and they soon catch up with the Rescue Bots as the chase moves outside town. While they try to work out how to deal with the rogue dinosaur, Cody calls Frankie. Soon Boulder is extracting a jail cell from the police station, which Dani and Blades fly to the scene. Meanwhile, Chase keeps the ''T. rex'' occupied, and Kade and Heatwave wet some ground to make mud. Kade is shocked when Heatwave transforms, attracts the dinosaur's attention, and then throws it into the mud. Dani lowers the makeshift cage over it, allowing Cody to shut the dinosaur down.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Synopsis==
[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Cody and Chief Burns.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Somewhere in space, a drifting Autobot spaceship receives a message from [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] directing them to [[Earth]]. The ship automatically changes course and eventually touches down in a military base. The four members of [[Rescue Force Sigma-17]] emerge and are greeted by Optimus himself, who informs them that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] is no longer the [[Autobot]]s' home.

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

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

[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Chief Burns introduces Rescue Bots.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
That afternoon, Cody arrives at the dedication, where he meets [[Frankie Greene]] and her father, [[Doc Greene]], in the audience, though Frankie's more interested in the new exhibit of robot dinosaurs at the [[Griffin Rock Natural History Museum|museum]]. Chief Burns introduces the gathered crowd to the Rescue Bots, describing them as new hi-tech robots which will work with him and his family as a rescue response unit. When a butterfly lands on [[Boulder]]'s face, the Autobot instinctively goes to shoo it away, but is stopped by [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]. However, Cody's suspicions are already raised. When Cody jumps up and knocks on Boulder's foot, he's told to get lost by [[Huxley Prescott|a reporter]]. The press photos are interrupted when word comes in of a fire at the Natural History Museum.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Boulder and Graham reach the volcano's crater and work together to locate the controls. Elsewhere, Chase and Chief Burns clear nearby campers. Heatwave and Kade wait impatiently for something to happen, while Dani and Blades move into position over the volcano. After Boulder and Graham leave the crater, Blades uses his winch to operate the main switch, opening the volcano and releasing lava and ash. Of course, then he's caught in the ash cloud, and Dani has to cajole him into flying high enough to get out of the ash. As lava begins flowing, Heatwave and Kade hit it with streams of water. As it looks like the crisis is over, Cody announces he'll be waiting for everyone in the bunker. It turns out they declared mission accomplished too soon, however, as Dani spots the lava draining into one of the tunnels leading to the bunker.

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

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

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

'''Predacons attack.''' 
'''Invasion of the city.''' 
'''Sky-Byte finds ruins.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Secret of the Ruins Bullettrain in city.jpg|left|200px|thumb|I'm telling you the cafe is right around here!]]
In daylight, in the middle of [[Metro City]], [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] and his [[Predacon (RID)|Predacons]] attack, hoping to draw out the [[Autobot]]s. [[T-AI]] contacts the [[Autobot Brothers]], but can only find [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]] and [[X-Brawn]], who report they're busy looking for [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]] and [[Koji Onishi|Koji]], who've gone to explore some old ruins. T-AI orders [[Team Bullet Train]] into the city instead. The three trainbots transform and walk through the city towards the Predacons, who immediately attack with [[Gas Skunk]]'s acid breath. [[Railspike (RID)|Railspike]] uses missiles to ignite Gas Skunk's breath, and the incompetent skunk runs around, frying his two teammates. From the base, [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] notes that the Predacons apparently aren't trying to heist some energy supply, and he is suspicious that the attack might be more than meets the eye.

[[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]], who wasn't at Megatron's attack on the city, explores a mountain range, looking for [[Payuma ruins|mysterious ruins]], which the Predacons learned about by using the [[psycho-probe]] to take the information from the mind of [[Kenneth Onishi|Dr. Onishi]]. Sky-Byte spies Side Burn, who is in the area with Koji to search for the same ruins, which Koji explains were left by the "Piyuma" Native Americans.

[[Image:Secret of the Ruins Sideburnkoji.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Koji, I can't see!]]
Koji and Side Burn find the ruins and enter inside on foot. Sky-Byte, who has followed the pair, fires missiles inside after them, trying to trap them inside. Side Burn detects the missiles in advance, and he tries to race through the cave (passing by [[Kelly (RID)|Kelly]], who also happened to be exploring the ruins). After he eventually dodges the missiles, Side Burn radios a mayday message to base for help.

The Predacon Trio continue to get beaten by Team Bullet Train. Megatron, tired of waiting for Prime, engages the Autobots. Instead of helping out in the city, Prime goes to aid Side Burn.

[[Image:Secret of the Ruins Skybyteoptimus.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Jaws V: The Reconciliation]]
Sky-Byte, unaware that he's failed to kill Side Burn and his human friend, and also unaware that more Autobots are on the way, voyages into the ruins to find whatever made them so important to Dr. Onishi, assuming that it must be a source of power. Prime arrives and uses his [[Flying Fist]] to knock Sky-Byte down some stairs. Rather than fight Prime, Sky-Byte grabs the chest that holds the ruins' prize and races outside.

Megatron, hearing that Sky-Byte has completed his mission, calls off the urban attack. Instead of letting him escape unharmed, Team Bullet Train combine into [[Rail Racer (RID)|Rail Racer]] and deliver a solid punch. The wounded Megatron retreats in his jet mode.

Exiting the ruins, Sky-Byte runs into the Autobot Brothers. The three blast Sky-Byte, who drops the chest in defeat. Prime catches the chest. With both Predacon attacks over, the Autobots open the chest and discover the prize: a photo of Koji and Dr. Onishi that the doctor stashed in the caves last time he and his son visited them. But more importantly, in the frame of the picture, the Autobots find a [[Doctor Onishi's microchip|microchip]] that could advance the plot.

==Notes==
===Differences with ''Car Robots''===
This episode's ''Robots in Disguise'' dub was completed prior to 9/11, but it was not set to air until a few days after the tragedy. Due to several scenes involving the mass destruction of buildings by the Predacons, the episode was promptly pulled before it reached air and underwent extensive re-editing and re-dubbing to make it appropriate for broadcast. Consequently, the episode did not air until much later, well into the multiple-episodes-per-week schedule the show was keeping at the time. The original English version of the episode has never been released in any form; this list notes all the differences between the original ''Car Robots'' episode and the heavily-modified second ''Robots in Disguise'' version.
[[Image:Rid_ep6_deletedscenes.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
* The changes begin right away. The whole opening scene of the ''Car Robots'' version of this episode is original animation, depicting Megatron crashing through a building in [[Wikipedia:Shinjuku|Shinjuku]] late at night. Crowds of terrified onlookers watch as he declares that he will make them all kneel at his feet, after which the Predacon trio pop up on the roof of a building, then leap down. Gas Skunk unleashes a gas attack, melting and corroding a building, and the scene ends on a shot of the city's skyline, as black smoke rises up from it. This scene was almost entirely replaced for ''Robots in Disguise'', and a new opening was created by recycling clips of Megatron's arrival from "[[Battle Protocol!]]", sans any destruction. The only pieces of footage to survive from the ''Car Robots'' version of the episode are the cityscape, the Preadacons leaping down and Gas Skunk attacking; even the end of his attack is cut short, so as not to reveal the damaged building.
*In ''Car Robots'', Gas Skunk implies he ''could'' shoot gas out his butt if he wanted to, but chooses not to for decency's sake. ''Robots in Disguise'' plays it as him forgetting he's not a real skunk for a second.
*''Robots in Disguise'' once again replaces the Japanese toy ID numbers of the Autobot Brothers and Team Bullet Train with their names. The Spy Changers are briefly seen scrolling past, and ''Robots in Disguise'' just deletes their ID numbers without bothering to replace them.
*Everyone is just sort of... more... ''pissy'' in ''Car Robots''. Prowl is annoyed at Side Burn's disappearance, X-Brawn thinks he's chasing red sports cars, Optimus laments "I can't do anything with these guys!" and T-AI moans that the brothers' timekeeping is poor. In ''Robots in Disguise'', they have the decency to be ''worried'' about Side Burn, and Prowl suggests calling up Team Bullet Train to stand in for them while they search.
*As Team Bullet Train is summoned, ''Robots in Disguise'' adds a quick shot of the member select program screen before each character appears, with their names flashing. Got to remind the kids at home which toys to ask for!
[[Image:Rid_ep6_rockpaperscissors.jpg|right|thumb]]
*Railspike's intro scene is mirrored in ''Robots in Disguise'', which him driving across the screen from right to left, instead of left to right as we was in ''Car Robots''. The same is true of the scenes of the Predacons gathering on a rooftop, and Dark Scream spotting the Bullet Trains approaching.
*''Robots in Disguise'' adds one of its CGI POV targeting shots as Gas Skunk prepares to fire on the trains, and another as Railspike fires back.
*After Rapid Run and Railspike give each other a thumbs-up, ''Robots in Disguise'' cuts out a short scene in which Midnight Express mistakenly believes they're playing rock-paper-scissors, and gets yelled at by the others. The joke is repeated a little later into the episode, after the trains take down the Predacon trio, and is again cut from ''Robots in Disguise''.
*The first rock-paper-scissors gag is followed by a [[scene transition]] that involves an Autobot symbol quickly filling up the scene and receding; it's the first time it has been used in ''Car Robots'', but it will be seen again. ''Robots in Disguise'' mostly excises these and uses its own CGI scene transitions, as it has been doing since the first episode.
*In ''Car Robots'', Sky-Byte perches himself on a rocky peak and scans the horizon. ''Robots in Disguise'' added a commercial break just before this, so the panning shot of the skyline is moved to ''before'' Sky-Byte sits down, to serve as an establishing shot for anyone just joining the show after the break, rather than as Sky-Byte's POV.
[[Image:Rid_ep6_kappa.jpg|right|thumb]]
* ''Robots in Disguise'' cuts a short scene of Japanese wordplay when Sky-Byte first sights the entrance to the ruins. In ''Car Robots'', the Payuma ruins are known as the real-life [[Wikipedia:Cappadocia|Cappadocia]] ruins, and Sky-Byte takes the name at face value, beliving it must have some connection to the mythical Japanese water monster known as the [[Wikipedia:Kappa (folklore)|Kappa]]. In two deleted shots, he mistakenly recalls the name as "Kappa's Navel" and "Kappa's Plate", imagining them in his patented comedy thought bubbles. The gag runs on into his flashback, where Megatron believes it's called "Kappa's Bellybutton", causing Sky-Byte to facefault, a brief action also cut from ''Robots in Disguise''.
* Sky-Byte's flashback to Megatron giving him orders is also quite heavily altered for ''Robots in Disguise''. In ''Car Robots'', Sky-Byte asks Megatron why he is attempting to conquer an insignificant planet like Earth, prompting Megatron to tell him that there is [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|something important]] hidden somewhere on it (thought the implication is that even Megatron doesn't know exactly what it is). In ''Robots in Disguise'', they just talk about prying "secret information" from Doctor Onishi's brain. The flashback is also shortened for ''Robots in Disguise'', as a long downward panning shot of the Megastar is removed.
* Side Burn and Koji's conversation about the ruins is shortened down for ''Robots in Disguise''. The ''Car Robots'' version also carried on the "kappa" gag, as Side Burn mispronounces "Cappadocia" as "[[wikipedia:sushi#Makizushi|Kappamaki]]", a kind of sushi roll with cucumber (he says he prefers tekkamaki, literally an "iron roll"). For ''Robots in Disguise'', this was changed to him mispronouncing "Payuma" as "pie humor," which he considers his preferred style of comedy.
[[Image:Rid_ep6_POV.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*Yet more POV shots! ''Car Robots'' includes some POV shots of its own, one when Sky-Byte watches Side Burn and Koji, and two more as his missiles track them. ''Robots in Disguise'' replaces them with their now-standard CGI efforts.
*Yet ''another'' POV shot is added to ''Robots in Disguise'' a minute later when Midnight Express targets Gas Skunk with his rifle. After he successfully blasts the Predacons, ''Car Robots'' has Midnight Express be very happy with himself, as it's his "first win". Railspike and Rapid Run give him a thumbs-up, and he sags, believing he has lost another round of rock-paper-scissors. The sag is cut from ''Robots in Disguise''.
*In a rather obvious cock-up, ''Robots in Disguise'' takes shots of Megatron's shadow looming over the Bullet Trains, and of the trains looking up at the villain in claw mode, and moves them to ''after'' he transforms into dragon mode, creating a visual continuity error.
*In ''Car Robots'', Optimus thinks that the mayday signal causing his chest to glow is chest pains caused by worrying! Ha!
*One last time for now: ''Robots in Disguise'' adds a CGI POV targeting shot as the Autobot Brothers prepare to fire on Sky-Byte.
*Scenes that ''Robots in Disguise'' extends with looped and repeated footage include:
**Optimus asking T-AI to activate the member select program.
**T-AI doing so.
**Prowl telling T-AI they can't find Side Burn.
**Prime telling T-AI to call up Team Bullet Train.
**Railspike and Rapid Run watching as Midnight Express stumbles through traffic.
**Rapid Run and Railspike's banter about Railspike's aiming abilities.
**Rapid Run giving Railspike a thumbs-up.
**Prime remarking that something smells bad.

===Animation or technical errors===
* After Side Burn ditches the missiles and transforms, the smoke around his feet appears to move backwards and forwards.

===Continuity errors===
* Optimus Prime describes Sky-Byte as "very clever."
* Dark Scream's "center laser" acts as a freeze-ray whereas it's never been used as such before.
* Speaking of Dr. Onishi, he has his glasses back — they were left behind when Megatron kidnapped him back in [[Battle Protocol!]].

===Transformers references===
*Doctor Onishi is subjected to the mind-reading psycho-probe, a callback to the mind-reading device from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] episode "[[The Girl Who Loved Powerglide]]". It is even noted to run at 90,000 volts per scan, as the original did.

===Real-world references===
* Images in Dr. Onishi's mind include the [[Statue of Liberty]], [[Arc de Triomphe]] and London's Tower Bridge.

===Trivia===
*One of the few factoids known about the original dub of this episode was that it featured Dorie Dutton making a reference to "robo-terrorism of the mid-1980s". Dorie's dialogue had to be re-recorded to remove this line when the episode was redubbed ("terrorism" having become a no-no word), but evidently regular actress [[Tifanie Christun]] wasn't available, as T-AI's voice actress [[Sandy Fox]] is performing the role.
*This episode shows one of the only times a Transformer has switched to robot mode while carrying a human passenger. Rather than being squished to death, Koji is ejected. The same thing happens in "[[The Human Element]]". In ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] survived inside [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] during his transformation in "[[Darkness Rising, Part 4]]," but was not ejected. Several episodes later, [[Agent Fowler]] similarly remains safely inside of the transforming [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], but inexplicably winds up in his hand.

'''Jack learns more about Optimus' history on Cybertron while the Autobots continue their battle at the Earth's core.'''

==Synopsis==

As he leads the [[Autobot|Autobots]] further toward [[Earth|Earth’s]] core, [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] is again seized by a vision of the planet exploding. He notes how [[Unicron|Unicron’s]] strength grows ever stronger, and continues on. [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]] both voice their mistrust of the [[Decepticon]] leader, though have no choice but to follow him. Unbeknownst to them, several strange mechanical creatures observe the intruders to their dark domain.

Back at [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|base]], [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] and the [[human|humans]] watch a report that outlines how the planet’s chaotic weather continues to spiral out of control. Despite [[June Darby|June’s]] efforts to lighten the mood, [[Agent Fowler]] insists that something must be done – even if it means contacting his associates at the [[Pentagon]]. Fowler makes known his uneasiness about teaming up with Megatron, but Ratchet surprises the humans by explaining how such a situation has happened before. Ratchet explains how Optimus Prime and Megatron were once close friends, in the twilight hours of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron’s]] [[Golden Age]]. He states that the great Autobot leader was once named Orion Pax, a simple clerk in the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] Hall of Records. Orion Pax, learning of Cybertron’s past, grew concerned about the corruption affecting high places and the [[Caste system|state of inequity]] in society. Orion became inspired by the revolutionary words of Megatronus; a gladiator who took his name from [[The Fallen|one]] of the [[Thirteen original Transformers|thirteen original Primes]]. Megatronus gained a loyal following through his radical and innovatory actions, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] chief among their number. Over time; Megatronus became a mentor figure to Orion Pax, and chose to shorten his name as he left the gladiatorial arena for the political one. Megatron appeared before the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], voicing his ideas for shaping a new Cybertron by violent means, and demanded to be named the next [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]. Orion protested against Megatron’s suggestions before the Council, moving their [[Spark|sparks]] and minds as he unknowingly revealed himself to be the one worthy of the title. Megatron severed his ties to Orion and the Council, taking his ‘Decepticon’ followers to begin the [[Great War (Prime)|war]] that consumed Cybertron and vowing to claim the legendary [[Matrix of Leadership]] for himself. Hoping to reverse the damage that had poisoned the planet, Orion journeyed to Cybertron’s [[Core]] – where he found himself before the spark of [[Primus]], the creator of all [[Cybertronians]]. Primus sensed the purity of Orion’s own spark and bestowed upon him the legendary Matrix, transforming him into Optimus Prime. In the present; [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] and [[Jack Darby|Jack]] question Optimus’ plan to give the Matrix to the Earth’s core, asking what could possibly stop Megatron from attempting to claim if for himself now. Ratchet sceptically replies that Megatron only intends to save the Earth so that he may conquer it at a later date.

As they near Unicron’s spark, [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] begins to feel the draining effects of the [[Dark Energon]]. [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] and Arcee help him a short way across the catwalks, but Megatron soon comes to a halt ahead with the realisation that Unicron is preparing to expel them. A huge number of Unicron’s drones suddenly swarm into view, surrounding Megatron and the Autobots. They engage the drones in fierce battle, blasting and slashing through their attackers. Arcee is knocked to a lower level, not long before the Dark Energon clouds Bulkhead’s vision. He stumbles from the catwalk but manages to grab hold of the platform, and is seized by Bumblebee before he can tumble to his death. Optimus and Megatron fight back-to-back, managing to hold their own against the drones in a spectacular display of effective – if uneasy – teamwork. Bumblebee struggles to hold onto Bulkhead, who insists that the scout lets him go. Optimus seizes Bulkhead just as Bumblebee loses his grip, and hauls him up to safety. As the group quickly becomes overwhelmed, Arcee hitches a ride on one of the drones to catch up with the others and beat a swift retreat.

Aboard the [[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]], [[Airachnid]] outlines the questionable nature of their leader’s recent behaviour. [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] asks whether she is suggesting that they abandon Lord Megatron. Airachnid explains how Megatron’s undetectable signal implies that he is either offline or at the mercy of Unicron – neither of which scenarios are in the best interests of the Decepticons. She suggests an exodus from Earth, and receives no protests from the surrounding [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]]. Her order to retreat to [[Regulon Four]] is denied by Soundwave, who silently challenges her authority. She assumes an aggressive stance, ordering him to step aside. Soundwave does not comply, so she leaps to attack him. Soundwave easily blocks every one of her blows, before lifting her clean into the air. He hurls her back, deploying [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] to stun Airachnid in a sudden sneak attack. Pinned under Soundwave’s foot, much to Knock Out’s amusement, Airachnid relinquishes command to the intelligence officer.

Back in the Autobot base; Ratchet notes how he has lost the others’ communication links and life signals, most likely caused by interference from the electromagnetic anomalies. Miko asks how they are supposed to know when the others are ready for pickup if contact is impossible – but Ratchet is prevented from responding by the sound of Jack tapping the [[GroundBridge]] key against a railing. Ratchet reveals that the object is actually the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] – one of Cybertron’s most precious relics. Ratchet then realises that Optimus entrusted the key to Jack because he did not plan on returning from the planet’s core.

Megatron is gripped by yet another painful vision of Unicron whilst he and the Autobots are backed into an enclosed chamber by the attacking drones. Unicron orders him to destroy Optimus. Instead, Megatron saves the Autobot leader by blasting an oncoming drone. He then indicates a closed doorway nearby, stating that Unicron’s spark lies just beyond. He explains how, to pass through, they must fool Unicron into believing that they pose no danger, and moves his Dark Energon-infused chest up to the door. It opens in response, and Optimus orders the others to remain outside and provide cover fire while he and Megatron advance.

The passageway beyond leads directly into Unicron’s spark chamber, where Optimus prepares to expose the Matrix within his chest. Unicron’s spark reacts, striking both invaders with its energy. Unicron again orders Megatron to kill Optimus, forcing him to unsheathe his blade and approach the weakened Prime. Megatron struggles against him, declaring himself to be under the command of no-one. His resistance provokes only an onslaught of pain and a furious reaction from the Chaos Bringer.

The volcano outside erupts violently, and the ground enclosing the Autobot base begins to quake. Ratchet tells the humans to take cover, and moves to shield them from falling debris with his arms.

Unicron’s spark adopts the appearance of a face, as Megatron is seemingly freed from his control. Optimus calls upon the power of the Matrix of Leadership, though hesitates as Unicron possesses Megatron’s body in a veil of purple flame and declares his own invincibility. Optimus cuts short Unicron’s desire to pull the Earth into chaos, and rises to his feet as he too becomes surrounded by a brilliant blue light. Optimus fires the power of the Matrix from his chest directly into Unicron’s spark, the resulting wave of energy knocking Megatron back off his feet. His energy drained; Optimus falls to his knees, and Unicron’s spark emits a final wail of pain before vanishing into oblivion.

The drones outside suddenly fall from the air, lifeless. The volcano, along with all of the Earth’s other natural phenomena, subside back to normality. Ratchet and the humans watch as the monitors flicker online, rejoicing as their team’s life signals are all safely re-established. Aboard the Nemesis, however, Soundwave also detects the signature of the Decepticon leader.

Megatron rights himself in Unicron’s now-empty spark chamber, inspecting Optimus’ steaming body for a moment before unsheathing his blade. Optimus gazes blearily up at the approaching Decepticon, addressing him as ‘Megatronus’ while asking about their current location. Surprised, Megatron retracts his weapon and helps the Autobot to his feet. Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Arcee soon burst through the wall – though Optimus does not recognise them. A GroundBridge suddenly opens nearby; Megatron claims that the Autobots are their sworn enemies, and provides cover fire as Optimus heads for the vortex. Optimus blankly meets Bumblebee’s devastated gaze for a split second, before disappearing through the Bridge. Megatron follows, leaving the shocked Autobots alone in the empty chamber.

Ratchet GroundBridges the team back to base, but is anxious to see that Optimus is not with them. They explain that Optimus is still alive, but did not even know his own name. Ratchet realises that surrendering the Matrix of Leadership caused their leader to lose not only the wisdom of the Primes, but his own memories as well.

Knock Out and the other Decepticons, minus Airachnid, welcome Megatron back aboard the Nemesis. Megatron steps aside to allow Optimus through, and [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] automatically moves to attack. Megatron halts him, insisting that this is no way to treat a ‘long lost comrade’, and declares that Orion Pax is one of them.

To be continued…

'''Jack learns more about Optimus' history on Cybertron while the Autobots continue their battle at the Earth's core.'''

==Synopsis==

As he leads the [[Autobot|Autobots]] further toward [[Earth|Earth’s]] core, [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] is again seized by a vision of the planet exploding. He notes how [[Unicron|Unicron’s]] strength grows ever stronger, and continues on. [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]] both voice their mistrust of the [[Decepticon]] leader, though have no choice but to follow him. Unbeknownst to them, several strange mechanical creatures observe the intruders to their dark domain.

Back at [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|base]], [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] and the [[human|humans]] watch a report that outlines how the planet’s chaotic weather continues to spiral out of control. Despite [[June Darby|June’s]] efforts to lighten the mood, [[Agent Fowler]] insists that something must be done – even if it means contacting his associates at the [[Pentagon]]. Fowler makes known his uneasiness about teaming up with Megatron, but Ratchet surprises the humans by explaining how such a situation has happened before. Ratchet explains how Optimus Prime and Megatron were once close friends, in the twilight hours of [[Cybertron (Planet)|Cybertron’s]] [[Golden Age]]. He states that the great Autobot leader was once named Orion Pax, a simple clerk in the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] Hall of Records. Orion Pax, learning of Cybertron’s past, grew concerned about the corruption affecting high places and the [[Caste system|state of inequity]] in society. Orion became inspired by the revolutionary words of Megatronus; a gladiator who took his name from [[The Fallen|one]] of the [[Thirteen original Transformers|thirteen original Primes]]. Megatronus gained a loyal following through his radical and innovatory actions, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] chief among their number. Over time; Megatronus became a mentor figure to Orion Pax, and chose to shorten his name as he left the gladiatorial arena for the political one. Megatron appeared before the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], voicing his ideas for shaping a new Cybertron by violent means, and demanded to be named the next [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]. Orion protested against Megatron’s suggestions before the Council, moving their [[Spark|sparks]] and minds as he unknowingly revealed himself to be the one worthy of the title. Megatron severed his ties to Orion and the Council, taking his ‘Decepticon’ followers to begin the [[Great War (Prime)|war]] that consumed Cybertron and vowing to claim the legendary [[Matrix of Leadership]] for himself. Hoping to reverse the damage that had poisoned the planet, Orion journeyed to Cybertron’s [[Core]] – where he found himself before the spark of [[Primus]], the creator of all [[Cybertronians]]. Primus sensed the purity of Orion’s own spark and bestowed upon him the legendary Matrix, transforming him into Optimus Prime. In the present; [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] and [[Jack Darby|Jack]] question Optimus’ plan to give the Matrix to the Earth’s core, asking what could possibly stop Megatron from attempting to claim if for himself now. Ratchet sceptically replies that Megatron only intends to save the Earth so that he may conquer it at a later date.

As they near Unicron’s spark, [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] begins to feel the draining effects of the [[Dark Energon]]. [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] and Arcee help him a short way across the catwalks, but Megatron soon comes to a halt ahead with the realisation that Unicron is preparing to expel them. A huge number of Unicron’s drones suddenly swarm into view, surrounding Megatron and the Autobots. They engage the drones in fierce battle, blasting and slashing through their attackers. Arcee is knocked to a lower level, not long before the Dark Energon clouds Bulkhead’s vision. He stumbles from the catwalk but manages to grab hold of the platform, and is seized by Bumblebee before he can tumble to his death. Optimus and Megatron fight back-to-back, managing to hold their own against the drones in a spectacular display of effective – if uneasy – teamwork. Bumblebee struggles to hold onto Bulkhead, who insists that the scout lets him go. Optimus seizes Bulkhead just as Bumblebee loses his grip, and hauls him up to safety. As the group quickly becomes overwhelmed, Arcee hitches a ride on one of the drones to catch up with the others and beat a swift retreat.

Aboard the [[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]], [[Airachnid]] outlines the questionable nature of their leader’s recent behaviour. [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] asks whether she is suggesting that they abandon Lord Megatron. Airachnid explains how Megatron’s undetectable signal implies that he is either offline or at the mercy of Unicron – neither of which scenarios are in the best interests of the Decepticons. She suggests an exodus from Earth, and receives no protests from the surrounding [[Vehicons (Prime)|Vehicons]]. Her order to retreat to [[Regulon Four]] is denied by Soundwave, who silently challenges her authority. She assumes an aggressive stance, ordering him to step aside. Soundwave does not comply, so she leaps to attack him. Soundwave easily blocks every one of her blows, before lifting her clean into the air. He hurls her back, deploying [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] to stun Airachnid in a sudden sneak attack. Pinned under Soundwave’s foot, much to Knock Out’s amusement, Airachnid relinquishes command to the intelligence officer.

Back in the Autobot base; Ratchet notes how he has lost the others’ communication links and life signals, most likely caused by interference from the electromagnetic anomalies. Miko asks how they are supposed to know when the others are ready for pickup if contact is impossible – but Ratchet is prevented from responding by the sound of Jack tapping the [[GroundBridge]] key against a railing. Ratchet reveals that the object is actually the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] – one of Cybertron’s most precious relics. Ratchet then realises that Optimus entrusted the key to Jack because he did not plan on returning from the planet’s core.

Megatron is gripped by yet another painful vision of Unicron whilst he and the Autobots are backed into an enclosed chamber by the attacking drones. Unicron orders him to destroy Optimus. Instead, Megatron saves the Autobot leader by blasting an oncoming drone. He then indicates a closed doorway nearby, stating that Unicron’s spark lies just beyond. He explains how, to pass through, they must fool Unicron into believing that they pose no danger, and moves his Dark Energon-infused chest up to the door. It opens in response, and Optimus orders the others to remain outside and provide cover fire while he and Megatron advance.

The passageway beyond leads directly into Unicron’s spark chamber, where Optimus prepares to expose the Matrix within his chest. Unicron’s spark reacts, striking both invaders with its energy. Unicron again orders Megatron to kill Optimus, forcing him to unsheathe his blade and approach the weakened Prime. Megatron struggles against him, declaring himself to be under the command of no-one. His resistance provokes only an onslaught of pain and a furious reaction from the Chaos Bringer.

The volcano outside erupts violently, and the ground enclosing the Autobot base begins to quake. Ratchet tells the humans to take cover, and moves to shield them from falling debris with his arms.

Unicron’s spark adopts the appearance of a face, as Megatron is seemingly freed from his control. Optimus calls upon the power of the Matrix of Leadership, though hesitates as Unicron possesses Megatron’s body in a veil of purple flame and declares his own invincibility. Optimus cuts short Unicron’s desire to pull the Earth into chaos, and rises to his feet as he too becomes surrounded by a brilliant blue light. Optimus fires the power of the Matrix from his chest directly into Unicron’s spark, the resulting wave of energy knocking Megatron back off his feet. His energy drained; Optimus falls to his knees, and Unicron’s spark emits a final wail of pain before vanishing into oblivion.

The drones outside suddenly fall from the air, lifeless. The volcano, along with all of the Earth’s other natural phenomena, subside back to normality. Ratchet and the humans watch as the monitors flicker online, rejoicing as their team’s life signals are all safely re-established. Aboard the Nemesis, however, Soundwave also detects the signature of the Decepticon leader.

Megatron rights himself in Unicron’s now-empty spark chamber, inspecting Optimus’ steaming body for a moment before unsheathing his blade. Optimus gazes blearily up at the approaching Decepticon, addressing him as ‘Megatronus’ while asking about their current location. Surprised, Megatron retracts his weapon and helps the Autobot to his feet. Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Arcee soon burst through the wall – though Optimus does not recognise them. A GroundBridge suddenly opens nearby; Megatron claims that the Autobots are their sworn enemies, and provides cover fire as Optimus heads for the vortex. Optimus blankly meets Bumblebee’s devastated gaze for a split second, before disappearing through the Bridge. Megatron follows, leaving the shocked Autobots alone in the empty chamber.

Ratchet GroundBridges the team back to base, but is anxious to see that Optimus is not with them. They explain that Optimus is still alive, but did not even know his own name. Ratchet realises that surrendering the Matrix of Leadership caused their leader to lose not only the wisdom of the Primes, but his own memories as well.

Knock Out and the other Decepticons, minus Airachnid, welcome Megatron back aboard the Nemesis. Megatron steps aside to allow Optimus through, and [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] automatically moves to attack. Megatron halts him, insisting that this is no way to treat a ‘long lost comrade’, and declares that Orion Pax is one of them.
