Wheres Bumblebee in the cast? {{unsigned|Jazzerprime}}
:Has he been confirmed to be in the cartoon? He's not mentioned in D.C. Douglas' post. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 22:23, 10 December 2011 (EST)
::He has a cartoon character model [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/tfw2005-coverage-of-hasbros-investor-day-2011-173712/] --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 15:10, 11 December 2011 (EST)

==Flash animated?==
:They seem to be animated in Flash. Does anyone agree? [[User:Black rhino ranger|Black rhino ranger]] 09:59, 19 December 2011 (EST)
:: I'd say so. [[User:Tom Servo the Great|Tom Servo the Great]] 10:14, 19 December 2011 (EST)
::: They use a program that is not Flash. I can't remember the name of the program off-hand, but it was reported somewhere recently. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 10:15, 19 December 2011 (EST)
:::: They use Toon Boom's '''Harmony''', which is a dedicated animation program. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 10:26, 19 December 2011 (EST)

== Aligned continuity family? ==

Every character's page says "''(somebody) is from the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]]'' portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''"

Is there any proof that Rescue Bots is part of Aligned Continuity? There are only 2 episodes now, so I think it's too early to say that RB is part of that continuity. - [[User:Thunderweb|Thunderweb]] 06:29, 20 December 2011 (EST)
:Discussion is ongoing at [[Talk:Optimus Prime (WFC)|Talk:Optimus Prime (Prime)]] and [[Talk:Rescue Bot]]s. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 06:33, 20 December 2011 (EST)

with Optimus Prime looking the kind-of the way he does in Transformers Prime is this a "kids-friendly" spin-off to that show, plus he's voiced by the same person?

== What's this, now? ==

:: Chris McFeely: I'm just one day behind the curve, guy! - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 17:06, 8 February 2012 (EST)

== Episode numbering ==

Hubworld listed "Cody on Patrol" as episode 7 and "Four Bots and a Baby" as episode 8. Should we re-number the episodes and note there is a missing "episode 6"? - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 12:48, 21 April 2012 (EDT)
:Maybe they're using the same numbering as [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2139371/episodes?season=1 IMDB]? Several of the episodes appeared on there before appearing on TV schedule sites, so it's possible it was updated by someone involved in the production, and "Walk on the Wild Side" is actually episode 6. Seems kinda weird to screen them out of order if so. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 18:29, 21 April 2012 (EDT)
::Actually, answering myself, it makes sense that they'd hold it back so they could screen it the same weekend as Earth Day. I guess if it's numbered episode 6 when it goes up on Hubworld, we can switch them around and add a note. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 23:48, 22 April 2012 (EDT)

== Season 2 ==

So having [[Roger Craig Smith]] and [[Mark Hamill]] is a subtle of saying there's a second season? I thought this was just going to end after twenty-six episodes like ''G.I. Joe Renegades''. -- [[User:Anythingspossibleforapossible|Anythingspossibleforapossible]] 07:53, 13 February 2013 (EST)
:We've known Rescue Bots is getting a second season since last September: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/rescue-bots-43/rescue-bots-season-2-confirmed-175956/ [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 08:35, 13 February 2013 (EST)
::I would have thought the page would at least be updated to reflect this, but it doesn't surprise me since no one's bothered to take notice of the two DVDs that have been released already. -- [[User:Anythingspossibleforapossible|Anythingspossibleforapossible]] 10:17, 13 February 2013 (EST)

== Season 3==

Can I add the new recruits in even though we do not have voice actors can I just add them in as they will be joining [[User SeanTF1967|SeanTF1967]]

I think once their episodes air or when their voice actors are announced we can. [[User:Iceym`95|Iceym`95]] ([[User talk:Iceym`95|talk]]) 19:24, 27 March 2015 (EDT)IceyM'95

'''Assigned on a solo mission to Earth, Bumblebee unexpectedly finds himself saddled with a team.'''

==Synopsis==
Years after the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], a rebuilt [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] is once again a populous, thriving planet. Among its inhabitants is Lieutenant [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] - now on street patrol duty - and his new cadet [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]]. While Strongarm is slightly awed at getting to work with the great hero Bumblebee, she's surprised that he didn't get a better position than street cop. The duo receives an alert about an in-progress 211. They find [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] driving around a park with huge statues, scratching up the ground. While Bumblebee is in the middle of telling his partner that Sideswipe's not actually dangerous, he's suddenly distracted by a vision of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] in a reflecting pool. Strongarm leaves him to his vision and heads off to deal with Sideswipe, and Optimus points Bumblebee to a diagram on a nearby building, indicating something to do with [[Earth]]. After an abortive attempt to stop Sideswipe, Strongarm manages to bash the renegade Autobot into the statue of Optimus Prime, and then slaps the cuffs on him, but to her horror, the damaged statue topples over, almost crushing Bumblebee. Snapped out of his trance, Bumblebee orders Strongarm to take the perp to the station while he heads towards the building Optimus pointed to.

On Earth, [[Denny Clay]] is moving a train car around his scrapyard when his son, [[Russell Clay]] arrives to stay while his mother's in [[Copenhagen]]. Russell is less than enthusiastic about this arrangement, but Denny shows off the 14th Street diner which he's recently had moved to the yard. Their discussion is interrupted by a loud boom from somewhere. Not far away in the woods, [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] crawls from the shattered hulk of the prison ship ''[[Alchemor]]''.

On Cybertron, Bumblebee enters the [[Cybertron History Museum]] and pokes around the back rooms, where he finds a [[space bridge]] with Earth co-ordinates already input. Optimus speaks to him in a another vision, telling him he's needed on Earth. In the middle of the vision Bumblebee's found by Strongarm, who's followed him there as per a regulation which means she has to accompany him at all times. Naturally she also still has Sideswipe handcuffed to her, and after Bumblebee explains he's received a mission from Optimus, he tells Strongarm to try to get the space bridge working while he distracts the guards.

A news report about a meteor piques Denny's interest, and he suggests he and Russell go look for it, though first Denny has to talk to a man who wants to sell him some [[Billy the Breakfast Beaver]] figures. Russell opts to go look for the meteor instead of helping with the deal. At the crash site, Fixit attempts to send a mayday to Cybertron Control, reporting that he's lost most of the [[stasis cell]]s the ship was carrying.

Bumblebee manages to distract the museum guards for a brief time until they catch on to the fact that he's up to something. He's forced to deal with the pair, disabling them just as Sideswipe gets the bridge working. Ordering Strongarm to remain behind, Bumblebee charges through the open space bridge to Earth. Naturally Strongarm follows him with Sideswipe still cuffed to her, and though Bumblebee destroys the cuffs and orders Sideswipe to return to Cybertron, the punk runs off. Wandering through the woods elsewhere, Russell completely misses a set of giant footprints. Bumblebee and Strongarm find Fixit working on the wreckage of his ship, and he explains the situation with the missing prisoners. As the tracking systems come back online, Fixit detects a nearby Cybertronian signal. Figuring it's Sideswipe, Bumblebee and Strongarm head off to recapture the rogue Autobot.

Sideswipe is testing out the acoustics in a nearby rock formation when he bumps into Russell. They're both recovering from the shock when [[Underbite (RID)|Underbite]] strolls up. Sideswipe introduces himself, but is none the wiser when Underbite reveals his name, though Underbite clarifies that he's the Decepticon who ate [[Nuon City]]. Sideswipe and Russell run for it, and Underbite consumes a nearby derelict van for energy. The fleeing pair find a clearing where Sideswipe transforms. As Underbite catches up with them, Sideswipe's able to speed off with Russell, and eventually finds Bumblebee and Strongarm. The Decepticon chases all four of them back to the crash site, where Fixit and Russell hid behind the last intact stasis cell, shortly before [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] pokes his head out of the end of it. After Underbite knocks the Autobots aside, Grimlock manages to goad Underbite into wrecking the stasis cell he's trapped in, freeing him. This only keeps Underbite busy for a short time, and the Decepticon spots the scrapyard through the trees, driving off to investigate. As the Autobots recover from the fight, Fixit tells them that Underbite is a [[Chompazoid]], and gains power by eating metal. The Autobots realize that the scrapyard has enough material to make the Decepticon unstoppable.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
===Continuity notes===
*The opening shot of Cybertron is identical to how it looked in ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)| Prime]]'' and the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)| War for Cybertron]]'' games.
*In this and part 2, the capsules holding the Decepticons are referred to as "stasis cells", whereas in later episodes they're referred to using the more standard name "stasis pods".

===Transformers references===
*Other statues in the park appear to depict [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]], [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]], and [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]].
*Sidewipe's use of 'No...maybe' is rather similar to what Bulkhead sometimes said.

===Real-world references===
*211 is actually Earth police code for a robbery. Sideswipe just seems to be causing a public nuisance though.

===Trivia===
*As with the following dozen episodes, this first premiered in Mandarin on Chinese streaming video site M1905.
*Unlike ''Prime'', Strongarm and Sideswipe have unique Cybertronian robot and vehicle forms.
*Before even scanning an Earth vehicle, Sideswipe's Cybertronian alt mode has a normal vehicle interior, including seats and seat belts, even though these would serve no practical purpose on Cybertron.
*Fixit states his favorite color is Red.

'''The Team is forced to participate in a reality show that captures extreme danger on camera.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:PrescottsBots Mayor Luskey falls.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
[[Graham Burns|Graham]] teaches the Bots about how maple syrup is extracted from trees, though [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] is confused by the fact that [[Cody Burns|Cody]] likes maple syrup but not carrot soup. They take the extracted syrup to where [[Mayor Luskey]] is preparing to pour the first syrup of the harvest onto a giant stack of pancakes. Huxley Prescott is on hand, but disgruntled at having to cover such a mediocre event. He tries to interest [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] in having the Bots participate in a reality show, but Burns once again turns him down. There's action to be had after all, as Luskey slips and falls onto the pancakes, requiring a quick save by [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and [[Boulder]], and giving Huxley something to film.

Back at the fire house, [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] is enthusiastic about the idea of appearing on [[television]], more so than the other bots, but Cody believes there's little chance Huxley will get to do his show. Meanwhile, Huxley manages to sweet talk the mayor by showing him a theoretical [[title sequence]] featuring the Mayor prominently. Luskey agrees to a pilot episode.

[[File:PrescottsBots bored Prescott.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Chief Burns breaks the news to the others, and they soon have a face-full of [[Robo-camera|camera]] each. Burns quickly gives Huxley some ground rules, and instructs Cody to make sure the Bots are on their best robot behavior. As the cameras follow the team around, Huxley becomes frustrated at the lack of action. What appears to be the start of a promising car chase fizzles out after [[Don]] meekly pulls over to get a ticket, Heatwave rescues [[Mister Pettypaws]] from a runaway vacuum in scant moments, and Blades tows [[Sharma|Mr Sharma]]'s boat to shore safely, though Blades spends most of the time trying to think up a catchphrase. The Bots are confused by Huxley's disappointment at the way the rescues are going, as they value safety over excitement.

Huxley interrupts Graham's engineering homework with more questions, and Graham almost knocks over a jar of [[Squilsh]]. When Graham proves uninteresting, Huxley recalls his cameras for "recharging". Blades is perturbed by the idea that the cameras won't be ready if there's an emergency, and sure enough, there's a call from the zoo reporting that [[Nancy Morrison]] has fallen into the lion enclosure. The team soon has Nancy winched out, though the lion menaces Kade. The Bots jump in the way, and the lion moves in, only to start licking maple syrup off Boulder. Huxley berates the Chief for not telling him that the team was "planning" this rescue, and Chief responds that they don't plan rescues. An idea is sparked in Huxley's brain.

[[File:PrescottsBots Prescott at truck fire.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
An emergency call soon arrives to say that the bank's been robbed, but when the team stops the armored car, it's just [[Jerry (RB)|Jerry]] on his regular run. Unimpressed, the team starts trying to track the bogus emergency call. Elsewhere Huxley reviews his tapes and spots Graham's talk about the Squilsh's properties. Huxley soon sneaks into the fire station and swipes the Squilsh. Blades continues to try and think up catchphrases, despite Chief telling him he shouldn't be pursuing fame. Cody reports that he's traced the emergency call, and it came from Huxley Prescott. Huxley himself is at the dam, pouring the Squilsh into the water, but when he calls it in, Chief Burns tells him he's been rumbled. Discouraged by the lack of activity from the rescue team ''and'' the Squilsh, Prescott leaves the dam, unaware the Squilsh has started assimilating the water.

[[File:PrescottsBots Prescott cleans house.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Prescott stops sometime later at some traffic lights, only for [[Edgar Prewett]]'s truck to speed past and crash. As the fire begins to spread to the trees, Huxley rings the emergency services, and is completely disregarded by [[Kade Burns|Kade]] who believes it's another false alarm. Luckily Chief Burns has Cody double-check, and the rescue team soon springs into action. Prescott continues to try and record everything, and as his cameras get in the way, Chief Burns tells him to stop filming. The firefighting soon gets into trouble as Heatwave runs dry, and Blades finds the dam full of Squilsh. With no water around, Cody hits on the idea of using maple syrup. While Blades heads to the sea to fill his scoop claw there, the other Bots head for the maple grove. The fire spreads towards Mayor Luskey's house, and Huxley tries to make himself a TV hero with a fire extinguisher, only for the extinguisher to run out long before the fire is under control. Luckily the team manages to use a combination of maple syrup and sea water to put the fire out.

Later on Blades laments that he's gone off [[television]], but Cody cheers him up by showing him a live feed of Chief Burns making Huxley clean the maple syrup off Luskey's house.

'''The Team is forced to participate in a reality show that captures extreme danger on camera.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:PrescottsBots Mayor Luskey falls.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
[[Graham Burns|Graham]] teaches the Bots about how maple syrup is extracted from trees, though [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] is confused by the fact that [[Cody Burns|Cody]] likes maple syrup but not carrot soup. They take the extracted syrup to where [[Mayor Luskey]] is preparing to pour the first syrup of the harvest onto a giant stack of pancakes. Huxley Prescott is on hand, but disgruntled at having to cover such a mediocre event. He tries to interest [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] in having the Bots participate in a reality show, but Burns once again turns him down. There's action to be had after all, as Luskey slips and falls onto the pancakes, requiring a quick save by [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and [[Boulder]], and giving Huxley something to film.

Back at the fire house, [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] is enthusiastic about the idea of appearing on [[television]], more so than the other bots, but Cody believes there's little chance Huxley will get to do his show. Meanwhile, Huxley manages to sweet talk the mayor by showing him a theoretical [[title sequence]] featuring the Mayor prominently. Luskey agrees to a pilot episode.

Chief Burns breaks the news to the others, and they soon have a face-full of [[Robo-camera|camera]] each. Burns quickly gives Huxley some ground rules, and instructs Cody to make sure the Bots are on their best robot behavior. As the cameras follow the team around, Huxley becomes frustrated at the lack of action. What appears to be the start of a promising car chase fizzles out after [[Don]] meekly pulls over to get a ticket, Heatwave rescues [[Mister Pettypaws]] from a runaway vacuum in scant moments, and Blades tows [[Sharma|Mr Sharma]]'s boat to shore safely, though Blades spends most of the time trying to think up a catchphrase. The Bots are confused by Huxley's disappointment at the way the rescues are going, as they value safety over excitement.

Huxley interrupts Graham's engineering homework with more questions, and Graham almost knocks over a jar of [[Squilsh]]. When Graham proves uninteresting, Huxley recalls his cameras for "recharging". Blades is perturbed by the idea that the cameras won't be ready if there's an emergency, and sure enough, there's a call from the zoo reporting that [[Nancy Morrison]] has fallen into the lion enclosure. The team soon has Nancy winched out, though the lion menaces Kade. The Bots jump in the way, and the lion moves in, only to start licking maple syrup off Boulder. Huxley berates the Chief for not telling him that the team was "planning" this rescue, and Chief responds that they don't plan rescues. An idea is sparked in Huxley's brain.

An emergency call soon arrives to say that the bank's been robbed, but when the team stops the armored car, it's just [[Jerry (RB)|Jerry]] on his regular run. Unimpressed, the team starts trying to track the bogus emergency call. Elsewhere Huxley reviews his tapes and spots Graham's talk about the Squilsh's properties. Huxley soon sneaks into the fire station and swipes the Squilsh. Blades continues to try and think up catchphrases, despite Chief telling him he shouldn't be pursuing fame. Cody reports that he's traced the emergency call, and it came from Huxley Prescott. Huxley himself is at the dam, pouring the Squilsh into the water, but when he calls it in, Chief Burns tells him he's been rumbled. Discouraged by the lack of activity from the rescue team ''and'' the Squilsh, Prescott leaves the dam, unaware the Squilsh has started assimilating the water.

Prescott stops sometime later at some traffic lights, only for [[Edgar Prewett]]'s truck to speed past and crash. As the fire begins to spread to the trees, Huxley rings the emergency services, and is completely disregarded by [[Kade Burns|Kade]] who believes it's another false alarm. Luckily Chief Burns has Cody double-check, and the rescue team soon springs into action. Prescott continues to try and record everything, and as his cameras get in the way, Chief Burns tells him to stop filming. The firefighting soon gets into trouble as Heatwave runs dry, and Blades finds the dam full of Squilsh. With no water around, Cody hits on the idea of using maple syrup. While Blades heads to the sea to fill his scoop claw there, the other Bots head for the maple grove. The fire spreads towards Mayor Luskey's house, and Huxley tries to make himself a TV hero with a fire extinguisher, only for the extinguisher to run out long before the fire is under control. Luckily the team manages to use a combination of maple syrup and sea water to put the fire out.

Later on Blades laments that he's gone off [[television]], but Cody cheers him up by showing him a live feed of Chief Burns making Huxley clean the maple syrup off Luskey's house.
