Idatebee: /* Rescue Bots cartoon */

{{disambigm|Charles (disambiguation)|Burns (disambiguation)}}
:''Charlie Burns is a [[human]] from the [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[Image:Charlie Burns profile.jpg|300px|thumb|Of all the Charlie Burnses in the world, you're the Charlie Burnsiest.]]

Chief of security for [[Griffin Rock]], '''Chief Charles "Charlie" Burns''' is a staunch ally of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], and one of the few people on [[Earth]] to know the secret of the Cybertronians' presence on their planet. Even [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]], leader of the [[Rescue Force Sigma-17]] bot team, takes orders from him, and for good reason: Chief Burns is very, very good at his job. He always keeps his cool, is quick with a plan and improvisation when things go awry, treats everyone with compassion and kindness (though he's no softie when it comes to giving out speeding tickets or arresting lawbreakers), and the city appreciates him for his hard work.

Charlie is the father of four: [[Kade Burns|Kade]], [[Graham Burns|Graham]], [[Dani Burns|Dani]], and [[Cody Burns|Cody]]. All four of the Burns children (well, three young adults and one child) are members of Griffin Rock's emergency response team, protecting the citizens from fires, floods, disaster, crime, and distressingly frequent runaway malfunctioning science experiments. And Chief Burns takes parenting as seriously as he takes rescue work, if not moreso. He's always ready to offer a kind word or advice to his kids... or any of the Rescue Bots, who he sees as part of his family as well.

Chief Burns is partnered with the police-bot [[Chase (RB)|Chase]], who deeply respects Charlie's commitment to law enforcement, even if he doesn't ''quite'' get the "compassion" part, but the Chief is definitely having a positive effect on the [[Autobot]].

Chief Charlie was a good friend of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. On their arrival on [[Earth]], Optimus took the [[Rescue Bot]]s to [[Griffin Rock]], where Chief Charlie greeted them. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Roll Out}} Early one morning at [[Fire Station Prime]], Chief Charlie directed [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] to participate in a fire training exercise on the other side of town. After Heatwave left, Chief Charlie's son Cody arrived, eager to be given his own mission. However, Chief Charlie only trusted Cody with washing [[Sparkplug (RB)|Sparkplug]], the firehouse dog. Though dejected, Cody and Sparkplug were able to alert Chief Charlie to the presence of an electrical fire within Fire Station Prime itself! Trapped on the roof of the burning station, the Burnses struggled to activate the emergency Prime Alert to call for help, until ultimately Cody was able to activate it manually. Heatwave quickly returned, and Chief Charlie's son was surprised to learn that their fire truck was actually a fire-fighting sentient robot! After the fire was extinguished and the group spoke with Optimus Prime via teleconference, Chief Charlie nodded with approval as his son was welcomed as a full member of the team. {{storylink|Prime Alert}}

When [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] arrived at the station, Chief Charlie introduced him to Cody before sending the team out to deal with a forest fire. The team later returned having successfully completed the mission with [[Sawyer Storm|Sawyer]], and Chief Charlie asked whether either of the other Rescue Bots were hot shots too. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Respond}} He got his answer when [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Boulder]] arrived with two more new recruits, and Optimus and Chief Charlie were proud that the team was complete. {{storylink|Rapid Rescue}}

When he was young, Charlie Burns built himself a go-kart. {{Storylink|Cody on Patrol}} He, [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]] and [[H.B. Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] chased [[Thaddeus Morocco|Doctor Morocco]] out of town when his inventions were deemed unsafe. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}

[[Image:FamilyofHeroes-Burnses.jpg|left|thumb|300px|One of the show's upcoming educational puzzles is determining what hair color genetics Charlie and his unseen mate possess which would have facilitated this range of hair color in their offspring.]]
As the head of a family of rescue heroes, Burns was entrusted by Optimus Prime with the secret that the new Rescue Bots were actually Autobots. He presented the quartet to the people of [[Griffin Rock]] as new hi-tech robots. When they attended a fire at the [[Griffin Rock natural history museum|museum]] and Heatwave saved Burns and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] from a falling dinosaur head, Burns covered for the Autobot. That night, the Rescue Bots contacted him, and he discovered that [[Cody Burns|Cody]] had discovered the secret. After the whole team united to stop a rogue robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', he let [[Kade Burns|Kade]], [[Dani Burns|Dani]], and Graham in on the truth as well. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}

Chief Burns and Chase stopped an out-of-control [[robo-landscaper]] while the rest of the team were busy failing to cooperate. He later alerted the rest of the team to the fact that lava was overflowing out of manholes across the town, and together with [[Chase (RB)|Chase]], made sure the residents were cleared from the area. When the problem was traced to [[Mount Magma]] and the rest of the team went to deal with the problem, Chief Burns and Chase patrolled the area around the mountain and cleared out campers. {{storylink|Under Pressure}}

Chief Burns accompanied Chase as they chased down [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]]'s out-of-control [[solar car]] and stopped it plunging into a ravine. He was with the team again as they responded to a rock fall. {{storylink|Hotshots}} He was helping Doc Greene inflate balloons with helium prior to the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]] when he and the Rescue Bots had to rescue the Doc from a runaway parade balloon. The next day the team was taking part in the parade when it came under attack from [[flobster]]s. They quickly swung into action once more, protecting the townsfolk from the flying threat until Doc Greene could mix up a permanent solution. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}}

[[Image:AlienInvasion Chief Burns facepalm.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Good grief.]]
Burns found himself covering for the Rescue Bots again after a rescue, but told them that saving lives had priority over maintaining cover. He and the family subsequently had to stop [[Huxley Prescott]] from inadvertently destroying the island with his [[SETI]] dish. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}} After retrieving a cat from a tree, Burns decided to celebrate [[Earth Day]] by having everyone clean up the fire station. The next day, he and the team were faced with several escapees from the [[Griffin Rock Zoo|zoo]], including [[Whiskers|a lion]] and some trained lemurs. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}}

Burns took part in the rescue of [[Harrison (RB)|Mr Harrison]] and was impressed when Cody rebuilt his old go-kart into [[Rolling Thunder (RB)|Rolling Thunder]], though he turned down Cody's request to get a bigger engine for it. After Cody tried souping it up with nanites, Burns made him help [[Boulder]] replant the trees that had been knocked down in the ensuing chaos. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}} Chase and the Chief were blocking traffic from trying to cross a damaged bridge when a man on a motorcycle zoomed past them. On another occasion, Burns supervised the operation to save the bank after a sinkhole opened under it. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}}

[[Image:DeepTrouble Chief Burns apron.jpg|thumb|left|200px|AAUGH]]
During a heatwave, Burns discovered that Chase didn't have air conditioning. After Cody had the idea to use a weather machine to create snow, Burns joined in with a snow fight, but ended up having to go rescue people when the machine went out of control. {{storylink|Christmas in July}} Burns, Cody and the Rescue Bots went on the family annual fishing trip on the ''[[Darby Ava]]'', something Burns regarded as a way to bond. When they encountered a [[shark submarine|robotic shark]], Burns left his son on the pier while he and the bots tried to find the finned menace. Though Burns had a plan to lead the sub into a cove, it started attacking the [[Griffin Rock ferry]] instead, and Burns and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] had to go to the assistance of the people on board. While they did so, the other Rescue Bots disabled the shark, but when Burns opened the sub, he triggered a self destruct, and Blades had to carry the vessel away before it exploded. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RB)|Deep Trouble}}

On a particularly foggy day, Burns and his team had to deal with the island's technology run amok thanks to a virus in the central mainframe, and also the rogue [[Trex]], which was infected with the same virus. {{storylink|Return of the Dino Bot}} He continued to educate Chase on compassionate policing. When Doctor Morocco returned to the island with a [[MorBot]], aiming to replace Burns's team, Burns argued against letting Morocco have the chance. He and his team were forced to compete against the MorBot, and eventually lost through the machinations of Morocco. The team was stood done. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} Though Burns argued with the mayor and brought evidence that was disregarded, he refused to give up. When there was a fire at the lab, the team was finally called out to attend to it, and Cody and [[Frankie Greene]] managed to obtain evidence against Morocco that saw Burns's team reinstated. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}

The silent alarm at the [[Hall of Inspiration]] had Chief Burns and his team attend it, but while Burns and Chase apprehended [[Evan (RB)|Evan]] and [[Myles]], the other three Rescue Bots went missing. Burns interrogated the pair at length as to the nature of the gun they'd used on the Bots without success. After Cody worked out it was the [[Minimizer]], Burns drove him to [[Griffin Rock dam]] where the three miniaturized Rescue Bots had ended up. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} Burns took part in the rescue of [[Wild (RB)|Captain Wild]]. When Cody turned up information about [[Anna Baranova|Professor Anna Baranova]], Chief Burns decided they'd go and check out the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]], where they found the professor still living in the crashed ''[[Midgard]]''. The team helped her to complete her mission, destroying the lab to seal the methane vent that had caused all the ship sinkings. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}

[[Image:RulesAndRegulations father and son.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Why can't I have an ordinary son like everybody else?]]
Wanting to spend some time with his kid, Chief Burns invited Cody along to do a security check on [[Griffin Crest]] and left the bots with strict orders not to follow them. After a brief run-in with a bear, the pair continued with their security check, unaware that the bots had been alarmed by Cody's garbled phone call. Later, having been chased up a cliff by the bear, Chief Burns and his son were unable to render any assistance when the bots were immobilized by the [[Electromagnetic pulse|EM field]], but after the crisis was over, they continued with their camping. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}} When a storm hit Griffin Rock, Chief Burns called the whole team out to help secure the town, but Cody and the Rescue Bots were swept out to sea, forcing the family to go out searching for them on the ''Darby Ava''. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}}

He and the team went to [[Wayward Island]] to investigate a meteorite crash, and encountered [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. After three of the Rescue Bots were stricken with an alien virus, the Burns family returned to the island to get a sample of the meteorite and destroy the rest. Though they ran into problems with the rough seas, they succeeded. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}} Chief Burns took part in a call-out to deal with a rampaging blob of [[Squilsh]]. He was nearly eaten by it when he got his foot caught in a ladder, but it instead got Chase. Burns spent the remainder of the mission trying to contact Chase and coordinating with Cody and Doc Greene as they tried to find a way to stop the Squilsh. {{storylink|You've Been Squilshed}}

While Charlie Burns and Chase were dealing with some strange events involving disappearing people, Burns picked up a mechanical bug and was teleported to a cavern under Griffin Rock. He set about organizing the townspeople to try and break out of the cave, though in the end they were rescued by the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}} After the team had a series of call outs during which they encountered ghosts, Cody pointed Chief Burns to the fact that the ghosts were [[hologram]]s, and he visited the jail to discover that Myles and Evan had escaped. With Doc Greene's help, the Chief set a holographic trap and his team caught the pair in the act of robbing a jewelry story. {{storylink|The Haunting of Griffin Rock}}

[[File:LittleWhiteLies Chief has cake.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
On his birthday, as it appeared that the rest of the team had forgotten, the Chief lied about where he was going so he could pick up a cake from the bakery. When he and Chase later became trapped in the lead mine, the rest of the team didn't know where to look, and the pair were forced to try and make their way out themselves. During a cave-in, Chief was separated from Chase and injured by a falling rock, but luckily the rest of the team turned up in time to save him. {{storylink|Little White Lies}} When Frankie caused problems for the team by filming them, Chief reminded them they had to pretend to be regular robots, and did his best to keep her out of their way. When she followed them into the cave system when they were looking for the source of some earthquakes, the Chief and the Rescue Bots had to save her from a cave-in. {{storylink|Shake Up}}

Chief was disapproving of Cody risking his life in an unstable building. When Cody got hold of a [[repulsor badge]] and started acting as a superhero, the Chief eventually had to take the badge off him. Cody used the badge again, leading to it overloading and the Chief and the rest of the team had to extract him from an energy bubble. {{storylink|Rescue Boy}}

[[File:BotToTheFuture Burns family farewell travelers.jpg|thumb|right|320px]]
Chief Burns attended the first testing of a [[Temporal Station|time machine]] that Doc Greene had got working. When Cody, Frankie and the kids were transported back in time to [[1939]], Burns called in Optimus Prime as backup and filled in Greene on the existence of giant alien robots. {{storylink|It's a Bot Time}}

In an alternate reality caused by an alteration to history, Burns worked as the janitor in the Hall of Inspiration while Griffin Rock was ruled by Morocco. When he encountered the time traveling Rescue Bots, Cody and Frankie, he was initially suspicious of them, but took them home. Filled in on the altered reality, he helped the group return to the time machine so they could set history right. {{storylink|Bot to the Future}}

While the rest of the team were occupied with the new [[Mobile Headquarters]], Chief Burns and Chase continued to patrol for speeders. They had another chase on their hands when they had to find the Mobile HQ after it was teleported around the island. {{storylink|Road Trip}} When Luskey used an experimental rapid growth formula on the [[Sky Forest (structure)|Sky Forest]], sending the vegetation out of control, Burns and his team had to save the citizens of Griffin Rock from it. {{storylink|Sky Forest (episode)|Sky Forest}} A case of the flu prevented Chief Burns from pursuing Evan and Myles, and he spent some time in bed unaware of the adventure Cody was having in the meantime. {{storylink|One for the Ages}}

Chief Burns, Cody and Chase took a ride on the ferry after [[Arthur Shaw|Captain Shaw]] thought he spotted a sea monster. They instead discovered an iceberg that turned out to be the long lost [[S.S. Isolde]], the ship captained by Charlie's grandfather [[Zachary Burns]]. To prevent the [[Sub-Zero Expander]] it carried from doing any more damage, Chief Burns took part in an attempt to get rid of the device by blowing it up, which was aborted when it turned out Doctor Morocco had claimed the vessel as salvage. The team had to deal with the fallout when the device exploded and froze a five-mile section of ocean. Chief Burns and the other human members of the team were also rescued when their sinking boat was unexpectedly saved by Morocco. {{storylink|Tip of the Iceberg}}

[[File:Spellbound Chief drops ice cream.jpg|thumb|left|300px|I'm pregnant?]]
After rescuing a skier on Mount Griffin, Chief Burns, along with the rest of the team, sought to find a solution to help Blades and Cody, who were trapped in a virtual reality game. He was later relieved when his youngest was unharmed. {{storylink|A Virtual Disaster}} After finding a cellphone, Chief Burns became mesmerized by it, and began distributing cellphones to the other townsfolk. Under the devices' control, he and his team mined [[Blossom Vale]] until Cody and Boulder disabled the island's cell tower, breaking the spell. {{storylink|Spellbound}} Though Chief Burns refused to let Huxley Prescott involve the team in his reality show, Prescott went to the mayor and got the project approved. It only lasted a little while until Burns found Prescott was manufacturing disasters to spice up the show, and had the whole thing shut down. {{storylink|Prescott's Bots}}

The team had to face a horde of [[gremlin]]s, conjured from Kade's nightmares by Doc Greene's [[Nightmare Imaging Device]]. {{storylink|Blame the Gremlins}} When it transpired that the "Magic Meat" that Mayor Luskey had been selling was [[Fo-Foo]], an experimental food with lycanthropic side effects, and the team had to track down Luskey and Graham who were both infected. {{storylink|Feed the Beast}}

[[File:WhatLiesBelow noogie.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
Charles was disgruntled when [[Woodrow Burns|Woodrow]] arrived in town in search of aliens, and forbade his younger brother from searching under the island for the proof he was after. When Woodrow went down anyway, and became trapped in a cavern with Cody, the team had to go to their rescue, and Chief Burns let Woodrow in on the secret that the Rescue Bots were aliens. {{storylink|What Lies Below}} Separated from the others, Chief explored the tunnels they were in, which mostly meant arguing with Woody. Chase managed to keep them safe until they reunited with the rest of the team, and managed to escape underground by blasting themselves out of the top of Mount Magma. {{storylink|What Rises Above}}

The team was present for the launch of a new space elevator, the ''[[Asgard]]'' piloted by Graham and Doc Greene. Following an asteroid impact on the elevator, Chief Burns and the team had to deal with debris falling onto the town. They were reunited with the astronauts after the Rescue Bots brought the pair back from space. {{storylink|Space Bots}} Following an encounter with a [[mechanical bull]], the team tried to send it to the [[Island of Misfit Tech]] and ended up tussling with a prototype Scrapmaster. {{storylink|The Island of Misfit Tech}}

[[File:BuddySystem Chief Carin ridealong.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Why is she not red-haired?]]
Though Chief Burns started becoming more protective of his family after a series of mishaps, when the mayor introduced a new town computer named [[Vigil]] which prevented the rescue team from doing their job, Burns led his team in taking the computer down. He loosened up a bit after that, taking part in a scooter race with his family. {{storylink|The Vigilant Town}} After appointing Blades mascot of the Lad Pioneer troop, Chief Burns led a Lad Pioneer nature hike. He was permanently locked to [[Carin]], whom he took an immediate fancy to, when the keys to the [[Buddy Bracelet]]s were destroyed, and had to take her along when the team dealt with a snake infestation. As it turned out, Carin was a police dispatcher, and after the roundup was completed, the pair went for a walk together. {{storylink|Buddy System}}

Following an earthquake, Chief Burns and Chase investigated a rash of metal objects being mysteriously pulled into the air. The trail led them to Wayward Island, where they discovered a quake sensor was turning a lodestone into a super-magnet. {{storylink|In Search of the Griffin's Nest}} During a rash of crimes by Evan and Myles, Chief Burns was temporarily without his partner when Chase joined the criminal pair undercover without telling him. The team was forced to deal with emergencies in a low-tech manner when the pair's [[Tech Wrecker]] started knocking out technology across the town, but the Chief still apprehended Evan and Myles with the help of his family. {{storylink|Bots and Robbers}} When the team recovered a lost dog, Chief Burns attempted to track down its owner, though he let Cody keep it in the meantime. {{storylink|Rescue Dog}}

[[File:BotsAndRobbers Chief catches Evan and Myles.jpg|thumb|right|260px]]
They also had to tackle Doctor Morocco's weather machine. Chief Burns later discovered that the portrait of Zachary Burns that Morocco had returned was bugged. {{storylink|Changes}} On [[Midwinter Morning]], Chief Burns and his team were called on to take the mantle of the [[Rider of Midwinter]], delivering loaves of bread to the townsfolk. {{storylink|The Riders of Midwinter}} When lightning struck the [[Power Planter]], causing it to run wild, the team had their work cut out cleaning up after it, but they were eventually able to lure it into a trap. {{storylink|Movers and Shakers}}

When Chief left the island to go to a police conference, he for some reason called in Woodrow to help look after things while he was away. {{storylink|Chief Woodrow}} Chief Burns took part in a hunt for a Cybertronian relic, and had to "fly" Blades on a rescue when Dani's pilot's license expired. {{storylink|Odd Bot Out}} The rescue team was assigned to complete the rail tunnel to the mainland. After completing that, they wre roped into being on the inaugural journey of the [[Griffin Rock Express]], but ended up having to try to halt the train after it malfunctioned. They were plucked from the crashing train by the Rescue Bots and Frankie. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Express}}

[[File:DoubleVillainy Chief in Rolling Thunder.jpg|thumb|left|280px]]
After a game of [[Rescue Ball]], the team rescued Mayor Luskey from a predicament on a bridge, only to find the mayor was suffering from amnesia. When the Rescue Bots later started acting oddly, the Burns family discovered that they had somehow been replaced by fakes. The family started searching for their friends and when there was an explosion at the docks, they found the Bots, who had been hoodwinked by Doctor Morocco into thinking the Burns family were criminals. {{storylink|Double Villainy}}

After the amnesiac Rescue Bots instinctively saved the Burnses from a wave, the Burnses persuaded them to return to the fire house, where the Bots were soon convinced they were all on the same side. As the chain reaction set off by the explosion threatened to sink the island, Chief Burns contacted the Mayor to get everyone to higher ground. The team borrowed some tech from the Greenes, and were able to save Griffin Rock by reinforcing the tunnel system with foam. They also arrested Doctor Morocco, who had wiped the Bots' memories, and the damage was able to be reversed. {{storylink|Rise of the Heroes}}

Chief and the team went to Wayward Island to investigate a group of [[dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]] Doc Greene had found there, however the dinos promptly chased the team into a tar pit, necessitating a rescue by Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Land Before Prime (episode)|Land Before Prime}} When Prime's new dinosaur mode resulted in him going feral, the team fought to stop his rampage through Griffin Rock until Optimus was abducted by big game hunter [[Quint Quarry]]. They tracked Quarry back to his island where an adventure ensued and Chief was able to arrest Quarry, though the hunter promptly escaped. {{storylink|Big Game}}

[[File:PhantomOfTheSea Chief ten years on.jpg|thumb|right|210px]]
The team had to contend with four temporary clones of Kades created by Doc Greene's Imaging Device, though the Kades did end up saving the team from a gas leak. {{storylink|Too Many Kades}} During the ten yearly appearance of the ''[[S.S. Phantom Voyager]]'', the rescue team responded to an SOS from the vessel, and the team, bar Chief Burns, disappeared with the ship. Chief Burns continued to work as a rescuer with help from the Greenes, and ten years later was reunited with his family when the ''Phantom'' reappeared. He reluctantly let them stay on board to attempt to reverse the time machine in the ship's hold, and they succeeded, averting the prior ten years. {{storylink|Phantom of the Sea}}

Following a flooding disaster, Chief had to put up with using Blades as a patrol vehicle when Chase and Boulder left on a space mission. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} When Vigil returned to the town by hitchhiking on a piece of technology, the supercomputer put much of the town, including Chief Burns, temporarily to sleep. {{storylink|No Place Like Dome}} After Doc Morocco temporarily escaped the jail, Chief locked him up again with instructions to [[Barney]] not to let the prisoner have anything. Unfortunate Barney did not follow instructions, and let Doctor Morocco have an ant farm full of mutant army ants, which he promptly used to escape, leaving Burns and his team to deal with the out-of-control ants. {{storylink|Bugs in the System}}

After a trip up in the space elevator resulted in the team switching bodies, Chief found himself occupying Doc Greene, and had to cope with a team confused by their new forms. Fortunately they eventually got switched back. {{storylink|Switcheroo}} After Kade accidentally ingested some [[scrubmite]]s, Chief and the rest of the team were miniaturized and went into Kade's body in the Bots' ship the ''[[Sigma]]'' to round them up. {{storylink|Bot-Tastic Voyage}} When Quarry abducted Professor Baranova and demanded Doc Greene build him dinobots, Chief Burns called in Optimus Prime. Optimus and the Rescue Bots turned themselves over as the dinobots Quarry wanted, and Chief Burns and his family subsequently followed them to the island Quarry was using and arrested him. {{storylink|Quarry's Quarry}}

[[File:DidYouSeeWhatIThaw Chief.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Visiting Wayward Island in search of Energon, the team instead found a frozen caveman who turned out to be alive. Though they attempted to help him acclimate to modern life, ultimately they had to return him to the island. {{storylink|Did You See What I Thaw?}} After giant monsters from a movie were brought into the real world by a new projector, the team had to round them up so that Doc Greene could return them to the movie. {{storylink|The Attack of Humungado}} The Burns family went to be photographed for ''[[Emergency Response Illustrated]]'' off-island. On their way back, they were delayed by kelp and jellyfish, but finally returned to the island where they had to help foil Evan and Myles's latest plan to use souvenir Rescue Bots to rob the townsfolk. {{storylink|All Bots Great and Small}}

[[File:PiratesAhoy Chief and Woodrow.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
When Cody began experiencing repeated time, his foreknowledge allowed the rescue team to prevent a number of disasters and mishaps during the dedication of the town's new clock tower. {{storylink|Time After Time}} When it was discovered that one of the Burns family ancestors was a pirate, the mayor suspended the whole team. A series of clues led the team to find the treasure and they were able to persuade the mayor to reinstate them. {{storylink|Pirates Ahoy}} Anticipating upcoming sea rescues, Chief contacted Optimus to ask for help and the team was sent [[High Tide]] to train the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Turning the Tide}} When historic figure [[Jules Verne]] arrived in his time-traveling balloon, Chief Burns and Cody accompanied him on a trip to find his old friend Doctor Morocco, and Chief insisted on arresting Morocco once they found him. Verne later took Morocco with him when he left in his balloon. {{storylink|The Last of Morocco}}

After [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] and [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]] were discovered on Wayward Island, Optimus arranged with Chief Burns to have the pair join the team for training. {{storylink|The New Recruits}} Though Salvage seemed to fit in well, Blurr managed to endanger a Griffin Rock citizen which angered the Chief. Heatwave and Chief later discussed how Blurr was not working out. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy}} After Blurr stole the ''Sigma'' and a solar flare took out the town's power, Chief sent the team on patrol and headed to the lab to consult Doc Greene, only to learn that a rogue satellite was headed for the island. Luckily Blurr saw sense and stopped the satellite. {{storylink|A New Hero}}

When [[Servo (RB)|Servo]] seemed unable to keep up the pretense of being an ordinary robot following orders, Chief figured the dog would have to be returned to High Tide, but it later turned out that Servo was actually helping people. {{Storylink|Four-Legged Hero}} Chief allowed part of the team to try to guard some endangered woodpeckers Boulder had found, only for the rest of town to get wind of it, forcing the team to go into rescue mode when the sightseers accidentally set fire to Blossom Vale. {{storylink|Endangered Species}}

[[File:IHaveHeardTheRobotsSinging Chief writes ticket.jpg|thumb|left|260px]]
When Chase had to work as the dispatcher due to an injury, Chief was forced instead to accompany Dani in Blades instead and the team was sent on several false alarms by Chase. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RB)|More than Meets the Eye}} Chief had to contend with the entire team having to sing when Doc Greene's [[Tone-O-Tuner]] went out of control. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}}

Chief and Chase accompanied Doc Greene into the disused mine to help him find a diamond so he could propose to Baranova. He was also assigned the task of deciding what to go in the new time capsule, to replace the capsule that was being uncovered. After a quantum crystal in the old capsule resulted in the entire island being teleported to the [[Arctic]], Chief and the team got the town's forcefield dome online. {{storylink|Now and Then}} After coming up with a plan to float the island back to Maine, the team had their work cut out keeping everyone safe and the island in the air. Once they made it back, Chief found that the townsfolk had a better idea of what to put in the time capsule. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}

Some three years on, Chief was contemplating retirement as he felt the team was fully capable of operating without him. Following an invasion attempt by the [[Velgrox]], the Rescue Bots finally let the townsfolk in on their secret, and Chief realized he was going to have his work cut out for him. {{storylink|New Normal}} He coordinated a series of meetings among the town's notable citizens in an attempt to make sure that the Rescue Bots' secret didn't spread beyond the island, and with some persuading, the townsfolk voted to keep the secret. {{storylink|Bridge Building}}

Chief had to talk to the Rescue Bots when they managed to cause a disaster themselves. The team later encountered a new Rescue Bot, [[Quickshadow]], after she arrived through the [[GroundBridge]] and mounted a covert rescue. {{storylink|Arrivals}} The team took part in an operation run by Quickshadow to transport [[Phodolite]] through town, with Chief and Chase making sure the side streets were kept clear of danger. When the operation went wrong, they had to improvise a solution. {{storylink|Plus One (RB)|Plus One}}

[[File:BackToVirtualReality virtual Chief.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]
Following a mishap in which the town pool froze over, Chief was persuaded by Cody to take part in ''[[Griffin Rock Element Quest]]'' and though he quickly got the hang of the game, they discovered it had been invaded by a [[Morocco virus]]. Chief successfully defeated the virus by winning the game, and caught it after it escaped into the real world through a 3D printer. {{storylink|Back to Virtual Reality}}

On discovering that Luskey was trying to interest investors into developing a resort on the island, he tried to talk the mayor out of it, however when it turned out Madeline Pynch was behind the bid, Chief came up with a plan which succeed in chasing the investors off. {{storylink|Vanishing Returns}} When Evan and Myles discovered the Rescue Bots' secret while trying to steal Quickshadow, the team had to come up with a short film to discredit their footage, and roped the whole town into helping. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (RB)|Ghost in the Machine}} The theft of the zoo's lion resulted in the team tracking down and arresting [[Thurston Chumley|Lord Chumley]]. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy}}

Chief found himself officiating a town meeting after Mayor Luskey's re-election campaign had a disastrous start. He granted permission for Chase to run for mayor, however when Chase was actually elected, the team found themselves hampered by his strict adherence to obscure laws, and had to scramble when the island was nearly destroyed as a result. {{storylink|Mayor May Not}}

After being woken early-morning by Boulder celebrating [[All Spark Day (event)|All Spark Day]], the team had to deal with a marine rescue, and then [[CeCe Greene]] enlarged to giant size by the Minimizer. They later all celebrated All Spark Day with the help of the rest of town. {{storylink|All Spark Day (episode)|All Spark Day}} When the town's communications tower required replacing, the team took on second jobs — Chief attempted to deliver pizzas. The townsfolk later chipped in with enough cash to replace the tower. {{storylink|Part-Time Heroes}}

Chief and Chase were delayed attending the opening of the new mainland [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] when they had to fix Jerry's truck. The pair made it in time for the opening, but then had to leave shortly after to attend to a broken traffic light. {{storylink|The More Things Change...}} Cut off from the training center after the computer system malfunctioned, Chase, Blades and Chief instead dealt with the problems on Griffin Rock, with Chief having difficulty fixing a broken traffic light. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}

During a series of motor races, Chief and his team had to spring into action multiple times to prevent catastrophe. {{storylink|Hot Rod Bot}} After a video chat with Woodrow was cut off, Chief traveled to [[Africa]] with Heatwave, Blades and Dani to investigate and ended up being made leader of a family of gorillas after saving them from baboons. He and Woodrow were able to rescue the gorillas from an erupting volcano, after which Chief passed on leadership to his brother and returned to Griffin Rock. {{storylink|King Burns}} Chief entered the pizza bake off portion of the Pizza Pi Party, only for it to be cancelled when giant mound of pizza dough threatened the town. {{storylink|Pizza Pi Party}}

A training session on the mainland was cut short following a reuniting with Bumblebee, when it turned out Blurr and Salvage were not handling things well on Griffin Rock. The human half of the team ended up being stuck on the island when the training center went into lockdown thanks to an invasion by an [[energon eater]]. {{storylink|Uninvited Guest}} When Blades, Graham and Cody uncovered [[Chickadee]]'s operation to find some lost gems, the rest of the team managed to apprehend her. Chief had to fill in for her during the Lad Pioneer upgrade ceremony. {{storylink|Camp Cody}}

Investigating some mysteriously falling Spruces resulted in Chase, Boulder, Chief and Graham temporarily getting lost in the woods. {{storylink|Once Upon a Time}} When the [[Mini-Con]] [[Bounce]] escaped to Griffin Rock, the team helped [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] recapture him. {{storylink|The Need for Speed}}

When Madeline Pynch got hold of a chunk of Energon, the rescue team put into action a plan to recover the Energon and arrest Pynch. Heatwave and Chief were dropped into Pynch's compound by Blades, and managed to find Pynch's hoarded tech before she caught them, though they escaped having their memories wiped thanks to switching the tech and ultimately Pynch went to jail {{storylink|Cody's 11}} Chief reluctantly let [[Maven Danger]] stay at the firehouse, when the mayor gave approval for him to do so as research for an upcoming movie he was making, however it later turned out the visit was a ruse so Danger's agent, [[Skip Scobble]], could attempt to steal a rare book. {{storylink|A Brush with Danger}}

When Dani's test flight on a solar-sail spaceship ran into peril, Chief and the rest of the team headed up in the Sigma to mount a rescue. {{storylink|To Infinity... And Back}} Chief's plans of a fishing vacation went on hold after an explosion at a construction site. He let the people from the damaged apartment building stay at the fire house, and when they needed items from the damaged building, personally went back in. A roof collapse saw him taken to hospital, though he wasn't too badly injured, and had the whole town turn out to greet him when he emerged. {{storylink|Family Business}}

Chief took Cody to Frankie's birthday party, though the pair were caught off guard when it turned out there were people in [[China]] who knew about the Rescue Bots. The team headed to a laboratory in China where [[Scrubmite|Scrubbers]] were running rampant, and managed to stop the rogue technology. Optimus Prime subsequently split up the team, with Chief, Cody, Kade and Heatwave remaining in Griffin Rock with Salvage and Servo. When the [[Morocco virus]] resurfaced, they were unable to prevent him from stealing tech from the lab. {{storylink|Upgrades}} Morocco set his sights on abducting Cody, and though Chief and the others tried their best to keep him and his army of Scrubbers at bay, Morocco succeeded, albeit briefly. Afterwards, Optimus gave the team new assignments, though Chief asked everyone to come back via GroundBridge each week for Sunday dinner. {{storylink|Transformations}}

'''Following the trail of Agent 113's bullet, the ''Lost Light''ers make their way to the Necrobot's base of operations, where both Rewind and Chromedome's relationship, and Nightbeat's hope in the existence of a greater power, are tested.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:MTMTE44 a lot of banter.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.7|Take the second panel out of context, things don't look quite right...]]
The message bullet extracted from [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]]'s shoulder proves largely corrupted by rust, but of the data sent by [[Agent 113]]—now revealed to have been the previous holder of the "[[Vos (DJD)|Vos]]" codename—one intact piece of information gives the crew of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' a startling new objective to explore: the location of the supposedly-mythical [[Censere|Necrobot]]'s [[Necroworld|base of operations]]. [[Hot Rod/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rodimus]] has a revelation of his own, however—it turns out that the doodles he has been carving into his desk since the ship's launch are, in fact, a map to [[Cyberutopia]] just like the one [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]] drew, and he is much more interested in following it than looking for the Necrobot. When [[Rewind (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rewind]] and [[Chromedome (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Chromedome]] explain that they want to visit the Necrobot's world in hopes of learning the fate of Rewind's old partner [[Dominus Ambus]], [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] agrees to their request, and the ''Lost Light'' sets off. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ultra Magnus]] takes Rewind aside to talk about his departed spark brother in order to caution him to not get his hopes up for Dominus's survival, but it turns out that Rewind has already had this discussion with ''his'' Magnus, on the quantum duplicate ''Lost Light'', and refuses to believe his claim that he can sense his brother's absence.

Presently, the ''Lost Light'' arrives at the Necrobot's rather unassuming planet, and a small group heads down to the surface in the [[Rodpod]]. They are greeted by the sight of a beautiful garden, full of holographic statues surrounded by sparkling blue flowers, and soon deduce that the statues represent those Transformers who are still living, while the empty plinths are for the dead. Homing in on the solitary life sign on the planet, the Rod Pod sets down outside a huge complex, where a noticeably jumpy [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] immediately spots some movement in the building's doorway, only for the door to be slammed shut before he can reach it. While the others split up to wander about the garden and investigate, Nightbeat stands outside the door and calls to whoever or whatever may be inside... at which point, the door opens a crack, and the imposing form of the Necrobot appears to invite Nightbeat inside!

[[File:Censere nightbeat the not knowing.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2]]
[[Ravage (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ravage]] dismisses the exercise as a waste of time, but Megatron confides that that was precisely his rationale for allowing the trip: although he will accept his fate when the time comes, he is in no hurry to rush toward that final judgement. Regardless of Megatron's intent, Chromedome and Rewind are here for a purpose: soon, they have hacked into the central database that powers the holographic statues, so that they can search for Dominus's name to learn what has become of him. But before Chromedome presses "search", Rewind hesitates, unsure if, after all this time, he ''really'' wants to know the truth. Chromedome assures him that whatever choice he makes, he will stand by him, and help him continue his search in other ways—a show of dedication that convinces Rewind that the past must be put behind him. The search begins, and the result appears... Dominus Ambus of Ambustus Minor is, indeed, deceased.

Within the Necrobot's complex, the mysterious robot explains to Nightbeat that he is, actually, a totally ordinary—if very long-lived—Cybertronian named [[Censere]]. A forensic pathologist, Censere was moved to begin chronicling deaths when the death of his friend [[Tusk]] went unreported, and simply uses the machines in his complex to keep track of spark signatures and to teleport him around the universe to carry out his tasks. Nightbeat is dismayed and furious; in spite of his rationalist nature, he had truly hoped to learn that the Necrobot was proof of a higher power, a reaffirmation of the notion of life after death that Nightbeat had come to doubt since his own death years beforehand. Censere reassures him that just because ''he'' is not "magic" does not mean that the [[Afterspark]] does not exist, and explains that his understanding of life and death is not absolute: he was, for instance, alarmed to see Nightbeat and many of the other ''Lost Light''ers, as he believed they were already dead. Censere takes him to a monolith labelled "In Honor of the Disappeared", upon which he has carved the names of those whose deaths he cannot verify; Nightbeat sees his own name on the slab (his body having been stolen away into the [[Dead Universe]] before Censere reached him), but then spots another one of great interest. He calls the crew together, and while everyone is marvelling over the once-legendary Necrobot, Nightbeat takes Chromedome and Rewind to the monolith, where it is revealed that Dominus Ambus's name is also engraved on its surface!

A little later, as everyone prepares to depart, Nightbeat says farewell to Censere, but not without grimly informing him that he should use his skills to save the living, rather than record the dead. Rodimus realizes that Megatron has disappeared, and is informed by [[Riptide (G1)|Riptide]] that he slipped away with Ravage a little while ago, after the Necrobot explained the significance of his garden's flowers: they contain the residual [[spark]] energy of the deceased, and he plants them around the statue of the Transformer who was responsible for ending that life. Thus it is that Megatron receives a grim reminder that he cannot put off his day of reckoning forever, as he visits his own statue and sees a beautiful blue field of sparkling flowers, stretching in every direction, far and away into the horizon...

==Quotes==
"You know, I can just about accept that the '''D.J.D.''' was infiltrated by an Autobot, but what I find '''bizarre''' is that this '''"Agent 113"''' thinks it practical to deliver his field reports by firing bullet-shaped data-slugs into '''three-fingered metallurgists'''." 
"It's not '''exclusively''' metallurgists. When I said that, I didn't... I was attempting to make a joke." 
"Yes—I know—I was '''running with it'''. There's a lot of banter on this ship; I thought I was ready to take the plunge." 
"I think we've both learned something from this."
:—'''Megatron''' and '''Ultra Magnus'''

"If you caught '''me''' spilling that many beans, you'd give me a '''dressing down''' so epic, so protracted—so narratively dense—it would have subplots, callbacks, and a finale that would provide closure whilst leaving the door open for future '''tellings off'''."
:—'''Rodimus''', to Magnus, when Magnus tells Megatron about Agent 113

"Is it too soon to have '''"Chosen One"''' engraved on my forehead?" 
"I can think of more appropriate words."
:—'''Rodimus''' and '''Megatron'''

"Don't take offense, but it's quite difficult—sitting here, looking at you... you look so '''similar'''." 
"I know. Why do you think I've spent most of my life trying to look like someone else?"
:—'''Rewind''' and '''Minimus Ambus'''

"I don't know what you were expecting. I don't know what a '''non-boring''' planet looks like to you." 
"What." 
"Describe it. I'm genuinely interested. Describe your perfect planet." 
"Let's see... stripped of organic life, relieved of energy, coated in metal... oh—wait—that's '''your''' perfect planet."
:—'''Megatron''' might want some cold water for that burn, courtesy of '''Rodimus'''

"Don't '''touch''' anything, don't '''steal''' anything, and definitely don't '''desecrate''' anything."
:—'''Rodimus''' warns the crew to behave

"Once you press "search", that's it—I'll know. And I don't know if I'm '''ready''' to know. ...I'm sorry. This is stupid. I'm being stupid." 
"It's not. And you're not." 
"Tell me what to do." 
"Rewind—my love—it's not for me to say." 
"But this affects '''both''' of us. If I don't do this... if we leave here not knowing, we could spend the next four million years searching for someone who's..." 
"I know. But at least we'd be doing it together."
:—'''Rewind''' and '''Chrome—''' *sniff*...and '''Chromedome'''... look, I just have something in my eye, okay?!

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*The Necrobot was introduced in the "Scavengers" two-parter in [[Rules of Disengagement (issue)|issue #7]] and [[Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?|#8]]. It was in the second of those issue that he actually physically appeared, and in which we saw his datapad containing a list of deceased ''Lost Light'' crewmembers; this issue confirms the earlier implication that these were the quantum duplicate crewmembers from the second ''Lost Light'', seen in the "Slaughterhouse" two-parter in [[slaughterhouse|issue #32]] and [[slaughterhouse Part 2: The Road Not Taken|#33]].
*Agent 113, first mentioned in the "[[Bullets]]" prose story in 2010, is finally revealed to not be a current member of the DJD, but rather, the previous holder of the "Vos" codename—the one with hooks for hands and feet, whose existence was established in [[World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|issue #29]]. He was replaced so soon that nobody on the ''Light'', not even Megatron, knew he'd been replaced until they found the 'other' ''Light''.
*Magnus mentions that the crew learned how to juggle during a three-week stay at the Cosmic Carnival, and Skids was seen demonstrating his juggling skills back in issue [[The Sensuous Frame|#41]].
*We first learned Rodimus has been carving doodles into his desk in [[Signal to Noise|issue #13]], and were reminded of that fact recently in issue #41. Turns out he's been drawing a map to Cyberuptopia like the one we saw [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]] had drawn in that same issue, complete with the gear-like hieroglyphs from [[Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|issue #21]].
*Ultra Magnus has a figure of [[Ten]] under his desk, recalling how their friendship began in [[Our Steps Will Always Rhyme|issue #40]] when Ten gave him a Minimus Ambus figure.
*When Skids remarks that he is a "recovering believer", he strokes his cheek, where we know from issues [[Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|#11]] and [[Elegant Chaos Part 1: All Our Parlous Yesterdays|#36]] that he used to have a tattoo of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] as a symbol of his faith.
*Nightbeat refers to his death from all the way back in ''[[Spotlight: Hardhead]]'' (see "Errors", below).
*Swerve takes a selfie with the Necrobot; we've seen Swerve using his "cell phone", before, back in "[[Dark Cybertron (IDW)|Dark Cybertron]]", when he went on about his ringtone.
*Skids says "who doesn't want to survive the dying of the light?" to Nightbeat, both people who will be part of a little story in #50 called... [[The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|"The Dying of the Light"]]!

===Transformers references===
*Ultra Magnus mentions that the ''Lost Light''ers once spent three weeks at the [[Cosmic Carnival]], the greatest show in the galaxy that appeared in [[The Cosmic Carnival|issue #44]] of the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|original Marvel Transformers comic]].
*Rodimus jokes about having "Chosen One" engraved on his forehead, the title that Rodimus was referred to with in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]].

===Real-life references===
*Rodimus describes Rewind's way of telling him about the Necrobot as they walk through the ship's corridors as "''West Wing''-ing", a reference to the TV show ''{{w|The West Wing}}'' and its famous tracking shots of characters talking with one another as they walk down long hallways.
*The Necrobot's real name, "Censere" (see "Errors", below), is a Latin word meaning to appraise or assess.
*The endless blue sparkflowers that symbolise the sparks of dead Cybertronians bear close resemblance to the poppy fields of Flanders, where hundreds of thousands of soldiers died during World War II, and to the legend that there are as many flowers as soldiers who died there. Poppies are also used to remember fallen, and veteran, soldiers in Britain and several Commonwealth nations, though this comic puts a darker spin on it here. This will take on an extra significance with "The Dying Of The Light" and especially [[The Dying of the Light Part 4: At Close of Day|#53]], which will give an explicit nod at the end to the First World War and the memorial poem "In Flanders Fields". In an extra nod, the gravestones on the special cover resemble the rows of hundreds of thousands of gravestones of Unknown soldiers lying in World War I and II cemeteries.

===Errors===
*The Necrobot introduces himself as "Censere", but when Nightbeat speaks his name during their farewell, it's incorrectly spelled "Censerre", with an extra "r". This is corrected for the trade paperback.
*When Nightbeat talks about his death, the footnote states he died in ''[[Spotlight: Nightbeat]]'', rather than ''Spotlight: Hardhead''. This is corrected for the trade paperback.
*Dominus Ambus's name is described as being "three from the bottom" on the monolith, but the art shows it being on the bottom line. The trade paperback changes this to "Right column, on the bottom".
*Rewind's second "Oh my god!" is attributed to Nightbeat erroneously.
*In "After the Necrobot explained about the flowers," Necrobot's word balloon is pointing at Riptide.

===Other trivia===
*This issue arrives a teensy bit late, landing in the first week of September rather than the last week of August.
*Several statues in the Necrobot's garden are not immediately recognizable; though Rodimus mentions two Transformers named [[Raptor]] and [[Scissorkick]], their statues are said to be near [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]] and [[Xaaron]], who are not pictured.
*While Xaaron has always been best known by the rank he carried in the Marvel comics, "Emirate", he's never had that rank in the IDW universe. As Rodimus spots a statue of him in the Necrobot's garden, he notes that his full title in this universe is "Advocate Xaaron".
*Ironhide died way back in [[...For All Mankind|''The Transformers'' #1]]; presumably the Necrobot turned his statue back on after learning that he was up and about again thanks to his [[Ironing Out the Details|resurrection]] at the hands of [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]].
*During Nightbeat's conversation with Censere, he reveals that he tracks the lives and deaths of ''Cybertronians'', yet there is a statue for Windblade, who is a [[Caminus|Camien]]. This suggests that either the Necrobot follows the lives and deaths of the Transformers of the colony worlds as well as Cybertron, or he made an exception for Windblade when she adopted Cybertron as her new home (James Roberts later confirmed the latter theory on Twitter [https://twitter.com/jroberts332/status/639375882449195008?lang=en-gb]).
*Full names learned for Transformers in this issue include: [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee of Iacon]], [[Pipes (G1)|Pipes]] of [[Pescus Hex]], Dominus Ambus of [[Ambustus Minor]] (and thus by extension, Minimus Ambus of Ambustus Minor), Chromedome of Iacon, Hound of [[Lower Monoplex]], and Nightbeat of [[Yuss]]. Additionally, [[Ambulon]] is revealed to have been an [[M.T.O.]]; a speech-bubble obscures his full name, but we see that it partially reads "Ambulon of Operation Split Infin--" something (a crack about "{{w|split infinitive}}s" and Ambulon's status as part of a [[combiner]], if not a reference to his grisly demise.) This makes Ambulon the first confirmed example of a Decepticon M.T.O.
*The name written above Dominus Ambus's on the memorial doesn't appear in full, but ends in "-mlet". No, it's not [[Gimlet]], the shape of the preceding partially-seen letter doesn't fit!

Killmaster

{{factions|decepticon}}
:''Killmaster is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Spotlight Trailcutter Killmaster.jpg|thumb|upright=2|I'm mad because Movie Megatron stole my mouth.]]
'''Killmaster''' has a wand. His real name is Murderking. No, really! He also has a penchant for bi-locational weaponry.

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
In addition to his wand, Killmaster designed and wielded a "moongun" that could apparently destroy moons. The [[Galactic Council]] acquired the blueprints for it somehow, and used them to develop a bright red, eyeball-sized [[geobomb]] capable of destroying entire planets. {{storylink|Animals}}

Killmaster once held [[Ratchet (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ratchet]] at gunpoint. Or possibly wandpoint. {{storylink|How Ratchet Got His Hands Back}} The Autobot [[Brainstorm (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Brainstorm]] had studied much of Killmaster's weapons over the years. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 5: Modes of Production|Modes of Production}}

When Ratchet was taken hostage by the Decepticons early in the war, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Orion Pax]] expected the Autobots would have to trade them a high-profile captive like Killmaster to get him back. {{storylink|Omega's Conundrum}}

Killmaster was a member of the dreaded [[Warriors Elite]], and fought with them during the [[Battle for Hell's Point]]. {{storylink|The Gloaming}}

During the war, Killmaster and [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] became nemeses. Whirl would talk big to him in order to compensate for the sheer difference in size and power between the two of them. {{storylink|The Reluctant Specialist}} Their rivalry ended when the Autobot broke into a Decepticon medical facility and crushed Killmaster's brain while he was recharging, effectively killing him, and then shoved his wand up his... ahem. {{storylink|Cybertronian Homesick Blues}}

Except no he didn't. Killmaster vanished from the war and Whirl assumed he'd died so he fabricated a story to look cool. In reality, Killmaster had been poached by the time travelling [[Censere|Necrobot]] and brought to the present day. His (oversized) stasis pod was ominously locked up and kept near the back of the stasis chamber. Naturally this made it irresistible for [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]] and Whirl to open. Killmaster, confronted by his old nemesis, immediately went on a rampage, sending [[Ten]] to a prison dimension with his wand before he engaged Whirl in combat. When a horribly injured [[Cyclonus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Cyclonus]] arrived, Killmaster used the distraction to zap Swerve with the wand before he advanced on the the other two. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 3: A World Misplaced|A World Misplaced}}

Working together, Whirl (after revealing Killmaster's real name as "Murderking") and Cyclonus managed to cut off Killmaster's wand arm and zap him with his own weapon, which Whirl revealed was effectively a teleporter - sending the disarmed Killmaster to wherever in the universe he had just sent Ten and Swerve. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 4: Bad Moon Rising|Bad Moon Rising}}

Brainstorm used the wand to bring back Swerve and Ten (but he left Killmaster behind) before he tracked the teleport signal to its source while he complimented the many innovations Killmaster had created. According to Whirl, the only thing that Killmaster loved more than bi-locational weaponry was "being a master of killing" (get it?). {{storylink|Dissolution Part 5: Modes of Production|Modes of Production}}

==Notes==
*Killmaster and Whirl literally refer to each other as "Nemesis", which is the best worst thing ever. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 3: A World Misplaced|A World Misplaced}}

*'''Cybertronian Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2010)
:*''Accessories: '' Handgun

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)#Toys|War for Cybertron]]'' Cybertronian Bumblebee transforms from a yellow and black robot into a "Cybertronian courier mode". His toy comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun is held via [[5mm post]], and can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode. Bumblebee's head appears to have [[light-piping]], but his eyes are painted over in blue, thus rendering the gimmick neutered. His legs are generally loose at the mid-thigh joint due to being used for transformation.

:He and Cybertronian [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|Optimus Prime]] shipped ahead of their two other wavemates in the United States via [[Toys"R"Us]].

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#United|Bumblebee Cybertron Mode]], as well as [[retool]]ed into ''Generations/War for Cybertron'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#Generations|Cliffjumper]] and ''United'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#United|Cliffjumper Cybertron Mode]]. In fact, Bumblebee's instructions depict him with Cliffjumper's head, revealing the retool before it was officially announced.

It was released in international markets to no fanfare at some point in 2013, apparently being available in at least Latin America and South Korea (the latter being English packaging with a Korean sticker).

:The included Bumblebee is the same deco as the individual non-transforming figure.

: The only new product from the second wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters Cyberverse'' Vehicle playsets, the [[Energon Driller]] (a redeco of the Series 2 Driller stripped of its electronics) comes with a redeco of Legion Class Series 3 Bumblebee, who features an ever-so-slightly darker shade of yellow plastic, black instead of charcoal wheels and hip and shoulder joints, dark metallic blue instead of black paint details for his front bumper, windscreen, shins and forearms/vehicle mode doors, black instead of silver paint operations for the face and the double-barreled blaster on the hood, and less saturated blue paint operations for the eyes.

: He comes with blue redecos of the Series 2 Driller's prod and saw accessories, which were originally meant for [[Knock Out (Prime)#Cyberverse|Knock Out]], as well as the Eagleshot Bow. The Energon Booster (originally part of the Series 2 Vehicles' light-up gimmick) is also included as a separate piece no longer connected to the Driller by a power cable, and can also be used by Bumblebee as a hand-held weapon.

:The Bumblebee Energon Driller was notoriously absent from US retail for many months after being available from online retailers and even appearing at retail in Hasbro's Asian and eventually European markets. It wasn't until much later that it finally became available through discount stores such as Ross, although there have also been sightings at Toys"R"Us Express, Hastings and Tuesday Morning stores.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, this Bumblebee is an entirely new mold, and features a much simpler transformation (and slightly decreased posability), including a "dramatic head reveal": the entire car mode front section is geared together, so when the robot mode shoulders are pulled out, the hood opens up to flip out Bumblebee's head and expand his chest. Two blaster-weapons are now included, which use [[5mm post|5mm posts and holes]] to mount on his forearms, engine block, or be used as hand-held weapons. They can also combine to form a larger quad-barreled cannon. While the [[instructions]] are rather vague about it, his folded-up roof actually features a tab that's meant to peg into a slot behind his pelvis, securing his roof somewhat in robot mode. This version of the toy was later retooled into [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]].

: In wave six of the "Robots in Disguise" toyline, Bumblebee was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' episode "[[Loose Cannons]]".

: The [[TakaraTomy]] version of Bumblebee, part of the first wave of ''Prime'' toys, is considerably different. His roof and doors have been retooled to include 5mm-hole mounting points, which are meant to be used with the new [[Arms Micron]] system. As such, he does not come with the Hasbro version's blasters, instead coming with the Arms Micron [[B.2]], who transforms into an over-sized version of Bumblebee's wrist-mounted blasters. His [[paint operation]]s have also been pretty heavily decreased; his doors, roof and rear window-frame have stripe-less solid-yellow paint to cover the clear plastic, leaving his engine block, grill-parts and face the only "detail-painted" parts on the toy. Most of his detailing, like his car mode striping, is provided by a separate sheet of customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s. (This actually allows for more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] stripes than the painted Hasbro version.) Unfortunately, he suffers from a particularly horrid case of sticker placement: The [[instructions]] tell you to place stickers between his front wheels and doors to continue his stripe patterns, but due to how the doors are jointed, there is not enough clearance near them to accommodate these stickers, and opening the doors will ''destroy'' the stickers.

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Robots in Disguise'' Weaponizer Class toys, Bumblebee is a large, roughly Leader-sized mold with a simplified [[Transformation|transformation scheme]], more accurate proportions, and a grand total of ''four'' [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake wheel]]s on his person due to said transformation. He comes with a double-barreled blaster pistol which can mount onto his hands, forearms, and trunk.

: His ''main'' gimmicks, however, are the two large mini-guns hidden in his hood-chest, which can deploy and "weaponize" either mode. When his robot head/engine block is pressed down, the mini-guns swing out from his hood-chest and spin, while a red LED inside his torso lights up briefly. Pushing on the gray lever/the center front fender portion (both on his chest) briefly lights up the LED again and swings the mini-guns back into his body.

: His [[stock photography]] (& his commercial appearance) gives him a [[:File:Transformers-Prime-Weaponizers-Bumblebee.jpg|''completely'' different vehicle deco]] compared to the final product, with the final toy having fewer [[paint operation]]s overall. The final product lacks the stripe patterns between the front wheels and doors due to that patch being made of [[unpaintable plastic]], shrinks the stripes on the hood, tapers the door stripes towards the front and extends it towards the rear wheels, rearranges the stripes on the trunk, roof, and behind the engine block, shrinks the Autobot symbol on the roof, and moves said symbol to the front of the hood. The hood stripes, in particular, have been ''significantly'' shrunk into what are essentially ''pinstripes''.

: A [[Variant#Running changes|running change variant]] of this figure features much thicker stripes on his hood-chest.

:The Japanese release, dubbed '''Gatling Bumblebee''', sports metallic gold paint on most of his yellow plastic, and some sliver details. He comes with a gray version of his Arms Micron, B.2.

Bumblebee's roof has been retooled with an additional 5mm peg-hole, and the hinge joint at the rear windshield has been removed.

:He retains the two arm-mounted blasters, and now additionally comes with a larger-scale "Eagleshot Bow", a large, spring-loaded [[missile]]-launching bow, as well as six missiles. The missiles can slide in and store on brackets in various places, with two brackets located on top of the bow, and two rotating brackets located on each door. The prods on the sides of the bow can be opened manually, but are meant to open automatically when a missile is inserted into the launcher.

:His instructions include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 1|first chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series.

:This version of the mold also served as the basis of the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Saberback]].

**''Accessories:'' Decepticon Hunter

:Night Strike Bumblebee is yet another redeco of Warrior Class Bumblebee, with his vehicle mode deco inspired by ''Animated'' Bumblebee...with a hint of flame tampographs. His tranparent blue plastic is now molded in smoke gray. Night Strike Bumblebee features light blue unpaintable plastic and paint applications, making it somehow similar to an ''Allspark Power'' figure. The really poor deco match between the yellow plastic and the yellow paint used on the roof makes the vehicle mode lookin' pretty ugly.

:His current robot mode stock photo is intentionally mistransformed: his side doors/wings were not folded up, a change that persists in the toy's packaging, which was redesigned to allow the doors to act as hip armor.

*'''Striker Mode''' (ストライカーモード ''Sutoraikā Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, C.L., O.P., R.A.
:The Arms Up form shown on Bumblebee's box-back photo. In this form, B.2 is mounted on his left arm, with [[R.A.]] on his right, while [[C.L.]] and [[O.P.]] take positions on Bee's backpack (which has been flipped up to allow the gun-Microns to fire sorta-forward).

*'''Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mode''' (メチャウチバンバンモード ''Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, O.P., R.A.
:Roughly translated as "Extreme Firefight Bang Bang Mode", this "Anti-Terrorcon" Mode turns the three Microns into a gun emplacement that isn't actually attached to Bee, just one he stands behind. Introduced in the "[[From the Cybertron Satellite, Transformers Division|Cybertron Satellite]]" segment from "[[Darkness Rising, Part 4|Infiltration Transformation! Battleship Nemesis]]".

*'''Mecha Uchi Kidō Type''' (メチャウチ機動タイプ ''Mecha Uchi Kidō Taipu'')

: Roughly translated as "Extreme Firefight Agile Type", this other "Anti-Terrorcon" attack mode is... just Bee with B.2 on one arm and C.L. on the other. ''Exciting.'' But it was highlighted and named in the same episode as the Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mode, so, well, for completism's sake....

*'''Infection Mode''' (インフェックションモード ''Infuekkushon Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, Terrorcon Zori
: Terrorcon Bumblebee's Arms Up mode is simply him using [[Zori#Toys|Terrorcon Zori]] in his right hand, and B.2 in his left. Wooo.

==New pages==

Response to that:
Look, I'm sorry. I included stuff about WHAT I KNEW, got it? I did everything I knew how to do. When I first made an account, I was expecting something to pop up and show me how to make a page. But NO. I did everything in my ability, and if your not gonna show me, then... A Girl who Dates Bee 22:29, 4 May 2016 (EDT)
: That's what the "New Pages" link up there is for. We were all new editors once, but speaking from experience it's best to start small if you're still getting used to the wikia format. Try editing some pre-existing pages, adhere to the style guide as best you can, and before long you'll be able to make good pages.

==Clown Car==
The part referred to in the line "In the end credits for WFC, Bee drives up, and HALF of the Autobots get out. Weird." in the notes section is a take on something called a "Clown Car" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clown_car as thus, should be edited to something more clearly stating it

==Is Bumblebee a boxer?==
It seems to me that 'Bee's fighting style is very much like pro boxing. Looking at him (especially his arms), he even seems to be built a boxer. Should this be noted?
 - [[User:Queso|¡Usa El Queso!]] 1:30 PM, 9 April 2011 A.D.

I think so. --[[User:Kaon Prisoner|Kaon Prisoner]] 17:17, 6 May 2011 (EDT)
:I don't. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 18:13, 6 May 2011 (EDT)
::Seeing as it's conjecture, it's not needed. --[[User:RavenFB|RavenFB]] 11:07, 19 June 2011 (CDT)

==Query==
Is Bumblebee just a generic Muscle Car? --[[Special:Contributions/82.39.157.220|82.39.157.220]] 22:18, 1 September 2011 (EDT)

== Two Different Bumblebee Toys ==

There will be two different toys for Bumblebee in Prime. The First Edition is already noted on the page, but the Robots In Disquise version is not. The RID version (Wave 1) will feature a slightly differnt transformation and two arm guns instead of one. I think this should be noted.

==Axel==
Why the mention of Axel Frazier? Is this just "Hasbro insists all continuities are one, so Rescue Bots BB is also Prime BB," or something else? --[[User:Buttbutt|Buttbutt]] 16:48, 9 January 2012 (EST)
: [[Talk:Optimus_Prime_%28WFC%29#Aligned.3F]] --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 18:38, 9 January 2012 (EST)

== Will BB die? ==

I was watching a prieview for FOC (Fall Of Cybertron) and it looked like BumbleBee is about to die or that was is vocal prosesers but in Transformers:Exiles He was alive...

:1) Take it to a message board. 2) No. Of course he won't. --[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 18:43, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

== Quickblade Bumblebee ==

Knock Out's page claims that the Combat blade was also released with DOTM Mirage. If someone can confirm this, can they add it to the page?[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 09:01, 22 March 2013 (EDT)

== Non-transforming figures ==

How, precisely, should we add the new 12 and 16 inch "limited action" figures? They've been showing up at Toys "R" Us and Walwart lately, but I don't see them listed anywhere. I'm thinking they should go under "merchandise" since they're not part of the regular toy lines as far as I can tell. --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] 14:39, 4 October 2013 (EDT)

== Voice Actor: Frank Welker ==

So, I realize the ship has probably long sailed on this, but... does Frank Welker really count as a "voice actor" for Bumblebee if we never actually hear his voice come out of Bumblebee's mouth during a public performance? I recognize that the fact he records lines which are then replaced by sound effects is important and should be noted, but I'm not sure he should be considered one of Bumblebee's voice actors any more than, say, Tabitha St. Germain (who records placeholder dialogue that is later re-recorded by Tara Strong) would be considered a voice actor for Twilight Sparkle.

Actually, as a purely hypothetical scenario, replace "Twilight Sparkle" in that last sentence with "Sari Sumdac." If that situation had ever come to pass, ''would'' we have listed Tabitha St. Germain as one of Sari's voice actors? - [[User:Servitor 2152|Servitor 2152]] ([[User talk:Servitor 2152|talk]]) 23:51, 20 July 2014 (EDT)

== My Awkward Opinion ==

Yes, um, I know this sounds crazy, but I think Bumblebee is crazy hot on Transformers Prime!!! (Until the Beast Hunters came, anyway.) Him and Knockout. Look, I'm sorry, but I just had to post this. :) The Robots In Disguise appears to be an spinoff of what happens after Beast Hunters, and on there Knockout doesn't exist, and Bumblebee is just annoying. But I do like the Minicons Fixit and Jetstorm. -A Girl who Dates Transformers 18:26, 3 May 2016 (EDT) [[A Girl who Dates Bee]] 3:21:27 PM, Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016 (Pacific Time)
