==Synopsis==
[[DreamMix TV]] is a television station which broadcasts a weekly sports entertainment program called ''[[World Fighters]]''. Unfortunately, the show has been struggling to receive good ratings, so host [[Mujoe]] decides to invite a variety of famous people from different worlds and walks of life in the hopes the fights between them will gain the audience's favor and appease their sponsors. Fortunately, several competitors agree to appear on the show.

At the start of the broadcast, Mujoe's introduction is interrupted by [[Haruna]], his new co-host, who explains the show's rules by attacking him until his soul leaves his body.

During a break after the second fight, Mujoe's attempt to compliment the challenger is interrupted again by Haruna, who gets so excited by the previous matches that she makes a dramatic entrance with a flying spiral punch that knocks Mujoe to the floor. Oblivious to why her co-host is lying on the ground, she dismisses him before announcing that the challenger will be fighting two opponents at once in their next match.

Following the fourth battle, Mujoe celebrates both the challenger's success and the show's rising ratings, though Haruna is nowhere to be seen. Before he can wonder for long, Haruna descends from above on a giant disco ball, encouraging the challenger to do their best in the remaining two fights, which she confirms will be two-on-one and three-on-one. Suddenly, the rod on the disco ball breaks, sending both the ball and Haruna crashing down onto Mujoe. With swirly eyes and duckies floating around her head, the dizzied Haruna tells the audience to stay tuned before falling over backwards.

After the final match concludes, Mujoe paces back and forth, anxious that the sponsors might be upset that the competition ended so quickly. Worried about the possibility of her first TV gig being suddenly cancelled, Haruna breaks down crying. Mujoe tries to correct her that he never said anything about cancellation, but Haruna declares that there's still one more fight to be had—something that baffles Mujoe, who thinks her count is off. Haruna then reveals that the [[Hige Hige Gang]] has constructed a UFO, and declares that ''Mujoe'' will be the final opponent! Mujoe immediately protests, worried that this will hurt both his career and his body, but Haruna declares that everything is for the show and its ratings, and kicks Mujoe into the air, landing him upside-down in the pilot's seat of the UFO as the cockpit closes around him. As the final "[[Mujoe on Stage|stage]]" is constructed, Haruna challenges the champion to clear this final battle. The UFO takes off into the air, and Haruna wishes Mujoe good luck as he fruitlessly bangs on the glass trying to escape.

Despite Mujoe's best efforts, the challenger soundly defeats him, and he is left screaming that he shouldn't have taken the hosting job, swearing revenge as the UFO explodes. With the victor declared, Haruna gives them their final ranking before ending the broadcast.

==Gameplay==
[[File:DMTV Gameplay Screenshot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Happy feet?! WOMBO COMBO! That ain't Falco! OH! OOOH! OOOH! WHERE YOU AT?! WHERE YOU AT?!]]
''DreamMix TV World Fighters'' is best categorized as a platform fighter similar to games such as ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Brawlhalla''. Up to four characters are able to battle simultaneously in free-for-all or team-based battles. Set on a 2D movement plane, characters can freely move about the arena, running and jumping from platform to platform or hanging from overhead bars to approach or escape their opponents. At the beginning of each match, coins bearing hearts will be released around the battlefield, and players must grab as many as they can before they all disappear. The characters' health is determined by the number of coins they have in their possession, with a meter at the bottom of the screen indicating which player currently has the most coins and how many are left in play.

Damage is dealt via basic attacks, throws, or a character-specific special move (such as Optimus or Megatron transforming into their [[alternate mode]]s), which will knock coins out of the target and deplete their life. Most of the time, these coins will disappear instantly, but speedy players can sometimes retrieve some of them before they do, increasing their character's life. Characters can perform a dodge in midair and guard against attacks while on the ground; guarding won't protect against throws, but guarding non-projectile attacks at the moment of impact will deflect the blow, creating an opening to counterattack. Special events will sometimes occur that disrupt the battle, such as a power outage shutting off all the lights, a character getting a temporary magnet effect that draws in coins and souls, or stage-specific enemies appearing to attack combatants. A "Zako Egg" will occasionally spawn, which can be thrown at opponents to slow their movement and prevent them from attacking or defending. If left alone, the egg will instead hatch and produce one of three different creatures, which can either inflict damage or release more coins. If a player is hit after losing all their coins, they are knocked to the ground and enter a Super Pinch state. When this occurs, their KyaraDama, or Character Soul, is ejected from their body, leaving them shrunken and unable to do damage. If the player manages to retrieve their Soul, they will be restored to normal, albeit still without any coins and vulnerable to attack. If another player grabs the Soul first, however, the Soulless player is eliminated from the match, though they can still move about the arena and cause interference. The last player standing after all others have been eliminated is the winner.

The game features three different gameplay modes. The first mode, World Fighters, is a single-player arcade/story mode, in which each character participates in six different battles against other fighters before a seventh match against Mujoe; the sequence of opponents and stages is predetermined based on which character the player selects. During World Fighters, the show's ratings start at 20% and will increase if the player uses combos and special attacks, and decrease if the player is is inactive. If the ratings reach 0%, the player immediately loses the match. Upon completion, the game awards a ranking from D to A based on the average ratings of all seven battles; obtaining 100% ratings in any match will automatically guarantee an A rank. The second mode, KyaraDama Survival, is a basic multiplayer versus mode in which one to four players can battle against each other or CPU-controlled opponents. The third mode, Caravan, consists of eight score-based single-player challenges, such as collecting multiple Souls or defusing bombs within a time limit; players are ranked based on their completion time or the points they have accrued at the end of the challenge. An additional Library mode allows players to view unlockable character and stage profiles and sample their associated music tracks.

''DreamMix TV'' features multiple unlockables earned through World Fighters mode, including characters, stages, and profiles in the Library mode. When playing for the first time, six characters and five stages are inaccessible, consisting of two of each from each company (excluding Takara, which has only one locked stage). The unlock method is the same for each pair of characters: the first is unlocked after beating World Fighters with one character from that company, while the second is unlocked by beating the mode with all of that company's characters, including the first unlockable. In turn, beating World Fighters with each of these hidden characters (with the exception of Asuka) will unlock one of the hidden stages. New character profiles are unlocked after finishing that character's World Fighters campaign, while stage profiles are unlocked by finishing different characters' World Fighters campaigns with an A rank; the final stage profile, "Mujoe on Stage", requires earning an A rank with every character.

==Notes==
===Transformers references===
*Optimus and Megatron's player models are visibly modelled using their [[The Transformers (toyline)|G1 toys]] as reference, and are proportioned to match [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 1|said]] [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Generation 1|toys]]. As a result, there is great attention to detail in terms of the color schemes used for their alternate costumes, featuring some obscure deco choices.

[[Image:DMTVConvoyAltColors.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|It's a very exclusive club.]]

:'''Megatron''':

{{-}}

[[Image:DreamMix-Devastator.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Mmm. G2-y.]]
*Besides appearances by Optimus Prime and Megatron, [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] is the focus of a stage, the battle taking place on scaffolding surrounding him. It's not explicitly stated, but the name of the background music, "Intrusion! Destron Secret Base" (侵入！デストロン秘密基地 ''Shin'nyū! Desutoron Himitsu Kichi''), makes it clear that this is one of the Decepticons' hidden bases. While not very interesting on its own, Devastator is in his ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' [[:File:G2Devastator toy.jpg|colors]] — a version of the toy that Japan did not get.
*For their profile pictures in the Library mode, Optimus, Megatron and Devastator all use their original Generation 1 [[package art]], as well as photographs of their original toys.

===Real-world references===
*Caravan mode, which features multiple score-based challenges, is a reference to the "Hudson All-Japan Caravan Festival", a video game competition held annually by Hudson from 1985 to 2000 where players competed to achieve the best score in a given game within a time limit. Similar timed score attack modes had previously been implemented in other Hudson games for use in these competitions, most prominently in the ''Star Soldier'' series, though no such competition was ever held for ''DreamMix TV''.

===Trivia===
*To offer some real-world context for this game's existence, at the time of its release, Konami owned over 20 million shares of Takara stock and was in the process of acquiring Hudson. Given this knowledge, it's likely that ''DreamMix TV World Fighters'' was created as a means of generating interest in all three companies' IPs, and thus, in companies in whom Konami had a financial investment. Konami ultimately sold their Takara shares to {{w|iXIT Corporation|Index Holdings}} in April 2005 due to Takara's underperformance the previous year; Takara would announce their merger with Tomy only a month later.<ref name=DYKG/>
*Upon release, ''DreamMix TV World Fighters'' received mixed critical reception, with particular criticism leveled at the character balance (we're looking at you, Licca-chan). However, the game sold well enough to be reprinted under Hudson's "The Best" line of budget releases on March 31, 2005.
*Both [[Tesshō Genda]] and [[Seizō Katō]], the original Japanese voice actors for Optimus Prime and Megatron in ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)#Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'', reprise their respective roles. For Seizō Katō, it would be the final time he performed as Megatron, retiring from the role in [[2007]] and passing away in [[2014]].
*For unknown reasons, the arrangements of certain music tracks in the game differ slightly between the GameCube and PlayStation 2 versions of the game.
*To facilitate quick transformations between Optimus and Megatron's modes, parts of their robot and alternate mode models are stored inside one another, with a bright flash used to hide the movement of these pieces during the transformation sequence. For example, clipping through Optimus's robot model reveals the decals of his trailer hidden within his chest.<ref name=DYKG>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Uqf4jO2S8 "Japan's Super Smash Bros Clone: DreamMix TV World Fighters - Region Locked Ft. Shesez Boundary Break" on YouTube]</ref>
*As part of a launch promotion during its first two months of release, customers who purchased the game from Ito-Yokado, [[AEON|JUSCO/AEON]], or Hello Mac stores received a ''World Fighters'' alarm clock, though these were allegedly of very poor quality and prone to breaking quickly, resulting in very few surviving to the modern day. During this period, players could also enter a sweepstakes by finding a secret code in the game's manual and writing it on a postcard from these stores; five grand prize winners received a Sharp Aquos LCD TV, while 100 runners up received their choice of ''Momotarō Dentetsu 12'', ''Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū 10'', or ''[[The Transformers (G1 PS2)|The Transformers]]''.
*This game marks the very first time Solid Snake, Bomberman, and Simon Belmont appeared in a video game together, which was followed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bomberman_R Super Bomberman R] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate Super Smash Bros Ultimate]

:''Cody Burns is a [[human]] from the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]]'' portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[Image:Cody Burns profile.jpg|thumb|right|250px|And the fandom worried.]]
'''Cody Burns''' is the youngest of the Burns siblings. Despite still being in school, he's keen to take up the family mantle of becoming a rescue worker and driving an emergency vehicle around [[Griffin Rock]]. Now that he's discovered that the rescue vehicles can drive themselves and his dad, [[Charlie Burns|Chief Charlie Burns]], has relented and let him join the team, maybe he'll get that chance.

==Fiction==
===''Rescue Bots'' pack-in storybooks===
[[File:PrimeAlert Cody Burns.jpg|thumb|left|200px|What? No mustache?]]
Cody turned up at [[Fire Station Prime|Prime Fire Station]] all ready for his new assignment, which he hoped was a daring rescue, but turned out to be giving [[Sparkplug (RB)|Sparkplug]] a bath. While doing so, Cody smelled fire and discovered that the fire house was on fire. After putting out some of the fire, Cody and Sparkplug dashed up to the roof to join Chief Charlie, and they activated the station's alert. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] made a rapid return from across town and rescued the trio, revealing his true nature as a [[Rescue Bot]] to Cody in the process. [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] welcomed Cody to the team and gave him and Heatwave their first assignment together — giving Sparkplug another bath. {{storylink|Prime Alert}}

Cody was impressed when the next Rescue Bot, [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] arrived. However, as he and the two Bots were sent out to fight a forest fire, they discovered Blades's radio was broken, making it hard to warn the helicopter that he was fanning the fire with his downdraft while Cody and Heatwave tried to put it out. He was eventually able to communicate that he had found some endangered humans, and Cody and Heatwave were able to lend a hand. The day saved, Cody and Heatwave returned to the station to officially welcome Blades and [[Sawyer Storm|Sawyer]] to the team. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Respond}} He was also literally on-hand when [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Boulder]] arrived with two more humans, [[Jack Tracker|Hunter]] and [[Walker Cleveland|Walker]] to join the team. {{storylink|Rapid Rescue}}

Cody was cycling to school when Chief Burns stopped by to remind him to attend the dedication ceremony for the new emergency vehicles that afternoon. Cody went along, meeting his friend [[Frankie Greene]] there, but his suspicions were aroused when one of the new rescue robots moved on its own. He followed his family and their new robots to a fire at the [[Griffin Rock natural history museum|museum]], and became even more suspicious when [[Heatwave (RB)|the fire engine]] saved his dad and brother [[Graham Burns|Graham]] from a falling dinosaur head. That night, he caught the four robots talking and discovered that they were, in fact, [[Autobot]]s from a distant world. He attempted to help them better act like Earth robots, taking them through one of the tunnels under the island. When they encountered a rogue robot ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', Cody contacted Chief Burns, only to find his father already knew the Autobots were aliens. After he helped stop the ''T. rex'' by consulting Frankie, Cody was welcomed onto the team. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}

Cody continued to try and help the Autobots to work together with his siblings, even luring [[Kade Burns|Kade]], [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and Graham down to the bunker beneath the fire station for a bonding session. During a subsequent disaster with a volcano spewing lava onto the island, Cody was able to advise his family by radio and help them cooperate with the Rescue Bots. By the time the adventure was over, they even worked together to save Cody from the lava. {{storylink|Under Pressure}} When Dani attached a rescue claw to [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] and tempers started flaring in the team, Cody tried to ameliorate relations, only to be dismissed by both his siblings and the Rescue Bots. Despite this he went along with Dani and Blades as they went on patrol and was endangered when Blades was struck by lightning. {{storylink|Hotshots}}

After Heatwave nearly gave away the game, Cody gave the Rescue Bots a refresher course on behaving like robots. He went to the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]] with Frankie, and when the festival was attacked by flying lobsters, he dubbed them [[flobster]]s. He coordinated the Rescue Bot response to the threat and even helped rescue Frankie from a swarm of them. It was his idea to scare them using the giant lobster balloons that helped neutralize the flobster threat. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}} Cody subjected the Rescue Bots to a screening of ''[[The Natives of Tatooie]]''. When the power went out during an alien invasion panic, Cody used the tunnels to reach the [[Griffin Rock power plant|power plant]], and helped his family cover for the Rescue Bots when their secret was in danger of being exposed. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}}

[[Image:CodyOnPatrol powering up.jpg|thumb|left|350px]]
After a cat rescue, Cody visited [[Griffin Rock Zoo|the zoo]] as part of [[Earth Day]] celebrations. Unfortunately his photos of the animals and earlier talk of getting a pet resulted in Boulder letting loose a lion and some lemurs. Cody's thought up a way to get the lemurs back into their enclosure. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}} Finding an old go-kart, Cody used it to save [[Harrison (RB)|Mr. Harrison]] and subsequently rebuilt it into [[Rolling Thunder (RB)|Rolling Thunder]]. Unfortunate its engine was still inadequate, so Cody borrowed nanites from Doc Greene's lab to soup it up. The nanites soon became out of control, and after being menaced by the [[Scrapmaster]], and having [[Boulder]] taken over by them, Cody came up with a plan to stop them using the power plant that ultimately succeeded. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}}

In an attempt to convince Doc Greene that he was responsible enough to test-drive the [[Turbo Cycle (RB)|Turbo Cycle]], Cody volunteered to look after the [[Robo-Baby]] and roped the Rescue Bots into helping him. When the baby escaped from the fire station in the middle of an emergency, Cody tracked it down to the wind farm, where he and the Rescue Bots retrieved it from a windmill. Doc Greene was impressed enough with the data collected to allow Cody to be the Turbo Cycle tester. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}} Cody once borrowed [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]]'s [[fusion powered water gun]]. It did not end well, though at least the town was a lot cleaner afterwards. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}} During a heatwave, Cody and Frankie sold lemonade from a stand. Boulder gave Cody the idea of trying to create a snowstorm, so he got Doc Greene to set up a weather machine in the town square. Their fun came to a halt when the machine went out of control, and Cody was under threat while sheltering in City Hall, as the roof almost collapsed under the weight of the snow. After a rescue from the rest of the team, Cody joined them in helping Frankie off her chunk of ice in the river. {{storylink|Christmas in July}}

[[Image:ReignOfMorocco Cody flies blimp.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
Unlike the rest of his siblings, Cody was happy to go on the annual family fishing trip, but when they encountered a [[shark submarine|giant mechanical shark]], Cody was left on the pier to monitor things from afar. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RB)|Deep Trouble}} When Cody discovered that the Greenes had reprogrammed the [[Trex|dinosaur from the museum]] as a butler, he wanted one too. He seemed less enthusiastic when it passed on a virus to the town's mainframe, and he had to help the rest of the team attend emergencies caused by out-of-control technology. His idea to stop Trex by giving it voice commands saved the dinosaur from being destroyed though. {{storylink|Return of the Dino Bot}} His journey to school was cut short when [[Blades (RB)|his ride]] had to attend an emergency. The unexpected arrival of [[Doctor Morocco]] and his [[MorBot]] resulted in the Rescue Bots being stood down, and Cody had to try and raise their spirits by relating the story of [[John Henry]]. A series of incidents got Cody suspicious of Morocco's motives. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} When the little evidence he and Frankie had scrounged up was dismissed, he got Dani to take him up in Blades to try to spy on Morocco, and they were almost taken out by the MorBot. Undaunted, he and Frankie sneaked into the lab to access the computer. They were found by Morocco, but managed to escape to the doctor's airship, on which they found the proof they needed. Instructed by Dani, Cody managed to land the airship and the Rescue Bots trashed the pursuing MorBot. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}

Cody visited the [[Hall of Inspiration]] with Graham and Boulder, and watched Doc Greene demonstrate the [[Minimizer]]. When there was a break-in at the Hall that night, the internal cameras were down and Cody was unable to see the device being used on Heatwave, Blades and Boulder. He only realized what had happened when Chase showed him a picture of the weapon, and subsequently got Doc Greene to fix the damaged Minimizer, so he could use it to return the three Rescue Bots to their normal size. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} After the rescue of [[Wild (RB)|Captain Wild]], Cody found a plate with an intriguing dragon design. With the help of Graham, Doc Greene and the Bots, he tracked down information on [[Anna Baranova|Professor Anna Baranova]] and her attempt to investigate the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]]. This culminated in him joining a mission to the Triangle itself, where they found Baranova still living in the ''[[Midgard]]'', and Cody talked her into completing her original plan to seal the methane vent causing the ship disappearances. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}

[[Image:TheLostBell Lad Pioneer Cody.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Chief Burns invited Cody along to do a security check on [[Griffin Crest]]. After a brief run-in with a bear, Cody made a brief garbled phone call back to base which resulted in the Rescue Bots racing to the crest. Cody and his dad 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}} Cody's [[Lad Pioneer]] practice was interrupted by a storm hitting the town, during which he and the Rescue Bots were swept out to sea. They washed up on an uninhabited island, where Cody used his Lad Pioneer skills to survive, and they stumbled on the old pirate ship, the ''[[Oaken Crow]]''. They were thus able to return to Griffin Rock with the [[Settlers' Bell]], which had been stolen by pirates in the nineteenth century. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}}

While stargazing with the Bots, Cody spotted a meteor crashing on [[Wayward Island]], and accompanied the others out there the next day. When Heatwave, Boulder and Chase mysteriously seized up, Cody released that the meteorite was the common element, and the team, along with [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] paid another visit to the island, though Cody was stuck monitoring things from the station. By the end of the adventure, he could even understand Bumblebee's beeping. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}} Doc Greene gave Cody some [[anti-gravity sneaker]]s to test, and Cody put them to good use cheating at [[basketball]]. Shortly after, Cody was called to the lab to help test [[Squilsh]], but when a sample came to life and started eating things, he alerted the rest of the team. After it was neutralized, Cody took a Squilsh-powered lava lamp back to the station to present to Graham. {{storylink|You've Been Squilshed}}

Cody worked with Frankie and the rest of the team to work out why the townspeople were disappearing. When they learned that [[Tracer (RB)|tracer]] bugs were teleporting people to an unknown location, he and Frankie went to the lab and learned that the target location was the largest cavern under Griffin Rock. Cody managed to get the information to Heatwave before he was teleported by the bugs, and the Rescue Bots subsequently rescued him and the rest of the townsfolk. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}} When a number of ghosts infested Griffin Rock, Cody researched the people who were appearing, and with the help of Frankie and Doc Greene, worked out that the ghosts were actually holograms. {{storylink|The Haunting of Griffin Rock}}

[[File:RescueBoy_Cody_powers_up.jpg|thumb|left|280px|"I am a warrior pure of heart, awakened by rage... I am the legendary Super Saiyan, Cody!"]]
When Chase and the Chief went missing, Cody helped the others track the pair to the lead mine, and spotted Chase's footprints at the bottom of a hole. He, Kade and Heatwave were able to locate the Chief in the rapidly-flooding mine and took part in the rescue. {{storylink|Little White Lies}} Cody found himself having to try to steer Frankie away from filming the Rescue Bots when she decided to make a film. When he was caught in an earthquake on [[Lake Street]], she even turned out to be nearby, and she and Cody were almost squished by a falling dish. {{storylink|Shake Up}} After Cody made an ill-advised rescue of [[Sharma|Mr. Sharma]] and got caught in an unstable building, Chief Burns wanted to restrict him to following rescues from the fire station. He and the bots tried to work out a solution, leading Cody to have Doc Greene create a [[repulsor badge]]. The badge's powers turned Cody into a superhero dubbed "Rescue Boy", but his misuse of it eventually caused it to overload, trapping him in a bubble of energy. With the Bots help, he got free and realized that he wasn't yet ready to be a rescue hero. {{storylink|Rescue Boy}}

Cody accidentally stumbled on a secret room under the lab containing a prototype time machine. During the first test, he, Frankie and the Rescue Bots were pulled to [[1939]] where they encountered Doctor Morocco and [[Elma Hendrickson]]. Escaping the doctor's clutches, they tracked down [[Dither]], whom they needed to operate the time machine to get them back, and mounted a rescue of the Rescue Bots, whom Morocco had as prisoners. With the help of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and Bumblebee, the group escaped back to [[2012]], only to find Doctor Morocco was in charge. {{storylink|It's a Bot Time}} In the strange altered present, the two kids employed some detective work to find out they'd accidentally changed history by leaving Dither in the past. After an encounter with an alternate version of Cody's family, Cody, Frankie and the Bots returned to 1939 to retrieve Dither, and returned to a restored 2012. {{storylink|Bot to the Future}}

[[File:OneForTheAges adult Cody.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]
With Doc Greene and Frankie in on the Rescue Bots' secret, Cody had trouble finding anyone to hang out with him, at least until he found himself transported around the island by Doc Greene's new [[Vacuum Accelerator]]. {{storylink|Road Trip}} When Cody learned about an invention competition, he tried to cooperate with Frankie on an entry, though after a disagreement, they opted to enter inventions separately. Cody created the [[sprinkler suit]], but ended up losing to Frankie's [[Sky Forest (structure)|Sky Forest]]. The sprinkler suit ended up being useful when it turned out salt water was the only thing that would stop the Sky Forest's out-of-control vines after a mishap with an experimental rapid growth formula. {{storylink|Sky Forest (episode)|Sky Forest}}

Cody was overjoyed when a lab accident aged him into a grown up as it meant he'd be able to go on rescue missions, however he soon found himself at odds with Kade, and began to realize that being an adult wasn't all it was cracked up to be. He and Kade were eventually able to get the stolen equipment back from Evan and Myles to return him to normal. {{storylink|One for the Ages}} Cody was on the [[Griffin Rock ferry|ferry]] during the discovery of an iceberg, which he, Dani and Blades later found to be the frozen ship [[S.S. Isolde]], on board which was the [[Sub-Zero Expander]], a device at imminent risk of causing a flash-freezing for five miles around it. Though Cody was left at base while the others attempted to destroy the device, he had to drive out on the [[Turbo Cycle (RB)|Turbo Cycle]] to help when it eventually triggered. He and the rest of the Burns family were also rescued when their sinking boat was unexpectedly saved by Morocco. {{storylink|Tip of the Iceberg}}

[[File:AVirtualDisaster virtual Cody.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
During a snow day, Cody took Blades to the Hall of Inspiration to try out Doc's newest virtual reality game, ''[[Griffin Rock Element Quest]] 1.0''. Cody taught Blades the ways of video games, such as special abilities, power-ups, and boss fights. After they defeated level 1, the game began to bug out and the bosses were able to hurt him and Blades. Despite the odds, Cody and Blades, with the help of Heatwave later on, defeated the game and were transported out safe and sound. {{storylink|A Virtual Disaster}} When most of the team were mesmerized by cellphones, Cody enlisted the help of Dani and Blades, however they were soon entranced as well. Cody found himself fleeing the mind-controlled townsfolk, until he and Boulder were able to take out the island's celltower, breaking the spell everyone was under. {{storylink|Spellbound}}

The rescue team was caught up in Huxley Prescott's reality show until they discovered that Huxley was creating disasters himself to spice things up. {{storylink|Prescott's Bots}} When Kade had problems with nightmares about [[gremlin]]s, resulting in a near-encounter with a wind turbine, Cody suggested he seek help from Doc Greene. Unfortunately Kade's session in the [[Nightmare Imaging Device]] resulted in a horde of gremlins being unleashed on Griffin Rock. {{storylink|Blame the Gremlins}} While doing his astronomy homework with the Bots, Cody photographed what he believed was the [[Maine Ridge Monster]]. Determined to convince his family, he and the bots tracked the beast to an old cannery but when Cody's camera was smashed, all they got was a clump of monster hair, which turned out to be fake. It later turned out that the "Magic Meat" [[H.B. Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] had been hawking was [[Fo-Foo]], an experimental substance with lycanthropic side-effects, and the team had to track down Luskey and Graham who were both affected. {{storylink|Feed the Beast}}

[[File:WhatRisesAbove Cody with hoverboard.jpg|thumb|left|280px|To me, my board!]]
When Uncle [[Woodrow Burns|Woodrow]] visited Griffin Rock with the intention of investigating evidence of aliens underground, Cody was accidentally taken with him on a ride underground. The rest of the team came to their aid when they were menaced by giant spiders. {{storylink|What Lies Below}} Cody, Chief, Chase and Woodrow were separated from the rest of the team, resulting in Cody mainly having to play mediator between his father and uncle. Once they were reunited with the rest of the team, they managed to escape underground by blasting themselves out of the top of Mount Magma. {{storylink|What Rises Above}}

Following the launch of the ''[[Asgard]]'', Cody, Frankie and the Bots watched the space elevator through a telescope and saw it being struck by an asteroid. Cody subsequently organized the team's response to debris raining down on the town, and accidentally ended up on the ''[[Sigma]]'' when he was putting a first aid kit on board. Safe inside Heatwave, he had front-row seats to the rescue of Doc Greene and Graham. {{storylink|Space Bots}} After the team took down a [[mechanical bull]], Cody was accidentally transported with it to the [[Island of Misfit Tech]]. He quickly found a way to use the bull to his advantage, and returned to Griffin Rock with the help of Heatwave and Kade. {{storylink|The Island of Misfit Tech}}

Cody nearly had an accident during a scooter race when a garbage truck strayed onto the track. The town's central computer was replaced by [[Vigil]], which soon decided that the best way to keep people safe was to keep them in their homes. Cody and the team had to break into Vigil's vault, and when Cody pointed out its defense measures were endangering humans, the computer suffered a meltdown. {{storylink|The Vigilant Town}} Going on the Lad Pioneer nature hike, Cody volunteered to test the [[Buddy Bracelet]]s, and as a result, when the keys to them were destroyed, he ended up buddied with Blades. He was therefore forced to accompany Blades when there was a snake infestation in Griffin Rock, and was almost eaten by a boa constrictor after it swallowed Blades's bracelet. {{storylink|Buddy System}}

While on a hike up Mount Griffin to earn his Lad Pioneer folklore badge, Cody and his friends had to dodge a falling car. Cody accompanied Graham and the Bots to Wayward Island, believing that there might be griffins there, but they found only a lodestone that was attracting metal objects to it. {{storylink|In Search of the Griffin's Nest}} Cody got the part of the villain, Bad News Bruce, in the school play, and suggested Chase watch some detective movies when the Rescue Bots was confused by the concept. When Chase later appeared to join Evan and Myles on a crime spree, Cody believed he was merely emulating the undercover detectives from those movies. {{storylink|Bots and Robbers}}

[[File:RescueDog Cody and Noble.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
After the team rescued a dog and were unable to find its owner, Cody dubbed him [[Noble (RB)|Noble]], and soon discovered that Noble was a capable rescue dog. Unfortunately it later turned out that Noble already had an owner, and Cody had to return him. {{storylink|Rescue Dog}} The team also had to tackle Doctor Morocco's weather machine. {{storylink|Changes}} Cody explained the significance of [[Midwinter Morning]] to the Rescue Bots, and later joined in delivering bread when it turned out that Mrs. Neederlander was the [[Rider of Midwinter]]. {{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}} While Chief was away, the team found itself under Woodrow's leadership, though Cody had to mediate between him and the rest of the team a few times. {{storylink|Chief Woodrow}} Cody got distracted testing Doc Greene's [[Ski-neakers]] and totally forgot to mail off Dani's pilot license renewal, resulting in her license being suspended. {{storylink|Odd Bot Out}} When a new superhero turned up in town who resembled "Rescue Boy", Cody set about tracking them down, and eventually discovered that it was Frankie. She subsequently helped him and the Rescue Bots save the passengers on the [[Griffin Rock Express]] before it crashed. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Express}}

Following a game of [[Rescue Ball]], Cody joined in the rescue of the Mayor, who mistook him for Graham. He later found Blades was acting strangely when the Bot was disinterested in a pirate movie marathon. When all of the Bots began similarly acting oddly, the Burns family discovered that their friends had been replaced by fakes. They encountered the Rescue Bots again after a methane explosion at the port, only to find their friends believed them to be 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, 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. To Cody's disappointment, Morocco's attempt to reverse the mind wipe appeared to fail, but the Bots' memories returned during another game of Rescue Ball. {{storylink|Rise of the Heroes}}

[[File:BigGame Cody at Optimus's Controls.jpg|thumb|left|240px]]
Cody attempted to decide on a Lad Pioneers merit project, failing to gain inspiration from the Bots. When the team ran into trouble investigating [[dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]] on Wayward Island, Cody rode in Optimus to their aid, and got to see the Autobot leader take on a dinosaur alternate mode. Cody was able to help the dinosaur situation, and in the process decided to build a dinosaur for his project. {{storylink|Land Before Prime (episode)|Land Before Prime}} When Optimus became feral during a race as a result of his new mode, Cody was trapped inside. The pair were abducted by big game hunter [[Quint Quarry]] who took Optimus to his island safari park and began hunting him. The rest of the team came to their rescue, and Quarry was eventually arrested, though he immediate escaped. {{storylink|Big Game}}

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}} The team was sent ten years forward in time when they boarded the ''[[S.S. Phantom Voyager]]'', however Boulder and Graham were able to reverse the time machine stored in the ship's hold, returning them to present day. {{storylink|Phantom of the Sea}} After Heatwave related the story of how the Rescue Bots had failed to help a stricken spaceship before they came to Earth, Cody encouraged Chase to go complete the mission. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}}

Cody, Graham, and Boulder retrieved a stabilizer from the Island of Misfit Tech, but unwittingly returned with Vigil's programming as well. Vigil took over the [[Mayor Luskey Dome]] and put most of the town to sleep, and Cody, Frankie and the Bots had to work together to defeat him. {{storylink|No Place Like Dome}} Cody attempted to help Graham gain confidence to talk to [[Amy (RB)|Amy]]. He also coordinated rescue efforts when Doctor Morocco escaped, leaving the town with a mutant army ant problem. {{storylink|Bugs in the System}}

[[File:Switcheroo Cody and Boulder.jpg|thumb|right|290px]]
Cody was disappointed when Boulder was too busy to build him a skate ramp. During a trip on the space elevator Asgard, he and Boulder swapped bodies, and Cody was able to build the ramp himself, though he then realized he was too big to skateboard on it. Fortunately they were later swapped back to their own bodies. {{storylink|Switcheroo}} When the rest of the team was miniaturized and sent inside Kade to round up some [[scrubmite]]s he'd accidentally eaten, Cody kept track of the team using the ComTab. {{storylink|Bot-Tastic Voyage}} When Quint Quarry abducted Professor Baranova, the Rescue Bots took on dinosaur alternate modes to supply him with the dinobots he wanted. Blades had trouble transforming, and while helping him, Cody ended up being taken along as well. On the island, he helped Doc Greene track down the missing Baranova, and rescue the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Quarry's Quarry}}

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:TimeAfterTime Cody winds watch.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
After receiving a pocket watch from the lost and found, Cody found himself repeating an hour of time leading up to the new clock tower dedication. After looping a couple of times, he was able to stop the squirrel which was causing a power surge from the clock that was sending him back in time, and discovered that the previous owner of the watch had been Doctor Morocco. {{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 treasure map led Woodrow, Dani and Cody to explore a cave where they found a chest. The chest contained a clue that sent them to a nearby island where the team dug up the lost treasure and they were able to use it to help get themselves reinstated. {{storylink|Pirates Ahoy}}

Cody attempted to help [[High Tide]] acclimatize to Earth, only to find the old bot too grumpy for his liking. {{storylink|Turning the Tide}} When the rescue team were visited by [[Jules Verne]], and Cody saw how the author and his old friend Doctor Morocco had drifted apart, it motivated Cody to take a catch-up math course so he could attend science camp with Frankie. {{storylink|The Last of Morocco}} On a trip to Wayward Island, he, Frankie and Graham found a Cybertronian ship containing [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] and [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]]. When the Rescue Bots were assigned to train the pair, Cody took Salvage to the scrap yard to check out the trash there, and later stuck up for Blurr when it turned out the Autobot had been lying about his history. {{storylink|The New Recruits}}

[[File:ANewHero Servo and Cody.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
Seeing that Blurr was having trouble fitting in, Cody suggested that the Rescue Bots try more personal tutoring, and encouraged Heatwave to let Blurr and Salvage go on rescue missions. This still proved futile, and Cody found Blurr stealing the ''Sigma''. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy (episode)|Rescue Bots Academy}} Trapped under scaffolding, Cody was able to use Servo's dog whistle to call the rest of the team to save him. His continued faith in Blurr was rewarded when Blurr saved the town from a rogue satellite, though he was sad when Optimus reassigned both Blurr and Salvage elsewhere. {{storylink|A New Hero}} Cody and Boulder attempted to help Servo adapt to pretending to be a robot. When the robodog appeared to have gone on a rampage, Cody championed him and was proven right when it turned out Servo was actually helping. {{storylink|Four-Legged Hero}} After Boulder found [[Gold-Crested Woodpecker|endangered woodpeckers]] while on a birdspotting expedition with Cody and Frankie, the team attempted to protect the birds, only to have their actions backfire. {{storylink|Endangered Species}}

After Chase sustained an injury leaving him laid up, Cody let the Rescue Bot do his dispatch job, resulting in the team being sent on several false alarms. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RB)|More than Meets the Eye}} Cody, along with the rest of the team, was forced to sing instead of speak when Doc Greene's [[Tone-O-Tuner]] went out of control. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}} Cody helped Frankie film coverage of the opening of a time capsule, which resulted in the entire island being teleported to the [[Arctic]]. {{storylink|Now and Then}} Cody came up with the idea of filling the town's forcefield dome with floatium, allowing them to get the island airborne and fly it back to [[Maine]], though the townspeople had to put in some hard work to keep it in the air. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}

[[File:NewNormal Cody carries telescope.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Three years later, Cody and Frankie were working on a science project together and accidentally invited the [[Velgrox]] to Earth to eat everyone. Their work was able to be used to locate the Velgrox spaceship, though they were left looking after Frankie's new sister [[CeCe Greene|CeCe]] while the others rescued the townsfolk. {{storylink|New Normal}} While the townsfolk debated whether to keep the Rescue Bots' secret, Cody and Frankie took part in a test of the new [[GroundBridge]] with Heatwave and Chase, and temporarily ended up stranded in the [[Sahara]]. {{storylink|Bridge Building}}

Cody rode in Blades during a foot race which resulted in a near-disaster. He later helped Frankie take CeCe for a walk and was able to alert the rest of the team when the younger Greene went missing, leading them to encounter a new Rescue Bot, [[Quickshadow]]. {{storylink|Arrivals}} Cody suggested Quickshadow come up with a plan to transport [[Phodolite]] through town and monitored the operation with her from the command center. When the operation went wrong, he accompanied her to the lab to pick up a compound to neutralize the Phodolite. {{storylink|Plus One (RB)|Plus One}}

Following a mishap in which the town pool froze over, Cody accepted Frankie's invitation to check out some upgrades to ''Element Quest'', and persuaded Chief to join the fun. Unfortunately it turned out the upgrades included a [[Morocco virus]]. Though Cody and his dad defeated the virus in the virtual world, it escaped into the real world via 3D printing. {{storylink|Back to Virtual Reality}} Cody's feelings of invisibility around the rest of his family became real when he accidentally picked up some Velgrox metal from Doc Greene's lab. His antics resulted in him discovering that Madeline Pynch was behind a bid to open a resort on the island, and he alerted the rest of the team. {{storylink|Vanishing Returns}}

When Evan and Myles carjacked Quickshadow, Cody was trapped inside her vehicle mode until she could shake their control. The pair threatened to reveal the Rescue Bots' secret to the world, but Cody recalled listening to ''[[Crustaceans from the Cosmos]]'' for his history class and came up with a plan to make a fake film to discredit the pair's footage. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (RB)|Ghost in the Machine}} After Whiskers was abducted from the zoo, Cody's investigations resulted in him getting information out of Quint Quarry, and leading the team to arrest [[Thurston Chumley|Lord Chumley]]. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RB)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

[[File:MayorMayNot Cody and Frankie.jpg|thumb|right|320px]]
Cody suggested Chase run for mayor when Luskey managed to bungle the opening of his re-election campaign. Cody and Frankie acted as Chase's campaign team and managed to get the Rescue Bot elected, only to regret it when Chase was over enthusiastic in enforcing obscure laws. The pair eventually had to get Luskey to help prevent the destruction of the island 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 — Cody delivered newspapers, and became the moose mascot for Kade's [[Brash Ball]] team. The townsfolk later chipped in with enough cash to replace the tower. {{storylink|Part-Time Heroes}} Cody attended the opening of the mainland [[Rescue Bot Training Center]], only to become trapped there when the base's computer malfunctioned and put the base into lockdown. {{storylink|The More Things Change...}} He, Heatwave and Kade were assigned the task of repairing the cloaking device so that the center wouldn't be detected. In the process of doing so, Cody worked out that CeCe's security scan had been uploaded into the base's computer system, and the information helped Graham and Boulder work out the bugs. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}

[[File:KingBurns King Cody.jpg|thumb|left|350px]]
Cody and Dani opted to keep quiet when they spotted Blurr gatecrashing a motor race. When a series of mishaps later befell the races, the team had to spring into action to prevent things going disastrously wrong. {{storylink|Hot Rod Bot}} After Boulder and Cody found a bottle containing a centuries-old proclamation, Cody eventually ended up being King of Griffin Rock once Kade and Graham had found they disliked the post. His reign was shortlived as Boulder found a document proving [[Horace Burns]] had stepped down as king. {{storylink|King Burns}} Cody started having trouble finding places to keep all his stuff, and ended up with it scattered over the fire house. During the Pizza Pi Party, the team had to deal with a huge out-of-control mound of pizza dough. {{storylink|Pizza Pi Party}}

During a surprise visit by Bumblebee to the training center, the human portion of the rescue team had to head back to Griffin Rock, but Cody opted to stay at the center with the Bots. He was trapped there with them when the center went into lockdown due to an [[energon eater]] having hitched a ride on Bumblebee's ship, but helped the Bots track the creature down. {{storylink|Uninvited Guest}}

[[File:Codys11 Ace.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]
After obtaining the last badge he needed to upgrade to Teen Pioneer, Cody opted not to attend the ceremony when it turned out Blades wasn't going to be able to go. Graham provided a holographic disguise for the bot, allowing him and Cody to attend the ceremony, only for the trio to get mixed up in [[Chickadee]]'s plan to find some lost emeralds. They were able to escape the cave she trapped them in, and after the rest of the team apprehended her, Blades and Cody took part in the upgrade ceremony. {{storylink|Camp Cody}}

Cody, Heatwave and Kade accompanied Frankie into the woods to make a delivery to Mrs. Neederlander, only to find themselves having to search for her. After finding her and briefly being trapped in a cave, the group managed to meet up with the rest of the team. {{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, Cody (under the code name '''Ace''') and Quickshadow came up with a plan to infiltrate her compound and retrieve both the Energon and other tech she'd accumulated. Cody successfully coordinated the plan and the team successfully arrested Pynch. {{storylink|Cody's 11}} When Dani's test space mission ran into trouble, the rescue team used the ''[[Sigma]]'' to head to the rescue. {{storylink|To Infinity... And Back}}

[[File:Transformations Cody in MorBot.jpg|thumb|left|280px]]
Cody struggled to work out which camp to sign up to for the Junior First Responder Jamboree, and everyone else in his family had their own ideas. After Chief risked his own life for townsfolk who had lost their homes, Cody decided he wanted to be like his father. {{storylink|Family Business}} Cody borrowed the library's copy of ''[[Pilgrim's Progress]]'' from Frankie. During [[Maven Danger]]'s visit to the island, Cody found himself being volunteered as a cameraman by Danger's agent, [[Skip Scobble]], only for it to turn out that it was to free Scobble up so he could try to steal the rare book. {{storylink|A Brush with Danger}}

Cody gave Frankie a laser necklace for her birthday, and was surprised when it turned out that there were people in [[China]] who knew all about the Rescue Bots. When the team went over there to deal with out-of-control [[Scrubmite|Scrubbers]], Cody remained in Griffin Rock but was able to help when he was patched into the local cameras. Following the team's redeployment to protect the Scrubber Initiative, Cody went on patrol with Heatwave, and ended up caught up in the action when the [[Morocco virus]] made a return. {{storylink|Upgrades}} Cody, Kade and Heatwave discovered that Morocco had taken over the training center, and following their getaway, Morocco decided he needed a human partner to be as effective as the Rescue Bots, and settled on Cody. Despite the best efforts of the team, Morocco managed to abduct and hypnotize Cody, however Frankie succeeded in rescuing him. {{storylink|Transformations}}

===''Rescue Bots Academy'' cartoon===
[[Image:RBA-Cody.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]
{{voiceactor|[[Andy Zou]] (English)|[[Gregory Praet]] (French)}}
Years later, Cody had taken up a position at the Rescue Bot Training Academy helping the other Rescue Bots with training exercises for the new cadets. A dejected [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] encountered him after screwing up a rescue training mission, and Cody gave the young recruit some encouragement. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} Cody later volunteered to be the "victim" for a cave rescue, but ended up trapped behind a cave-in after Hot Shot and [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] proved too competitive. He was impressed when the recruits successfully worked together to rescue him. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}}

Cody joined the recruits on a mission to deal with an overturned truck in Griffin Rock, giving them instructions as they intercepted the explosive cans that fell off. After two of the cans blew up on a nearby bridge, Cody called his father only to find the rescue team was busy elsewhere, however [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] successfully came up with a plan that saw them rescue some humans from a car on the bridge. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}} Cody successfully passed his EMT training course, and Heatwave and the recruits surprised him with the certificate. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}

Cody and the recruits watched ''[[Skateboard Snakes II]]'' during movie night. When Hot Shot later admitted to Cody that he should have told the others he didn't know how to use a [[TX3000]], Cody told him the others would have understood. {{storylink|The TX3000}} Cody was talking with [[Wes]] on the phone when the latter accidentally got trapped in a cave in. Cody was thus able to alert the rest of the rescue team. {{storylink|Screen Time}}

Cody and Heatwave had to join the other Rescue Bots for an offworld mission. {{storylink|All Washed Up}} Cody and Heatwave took a turn as students when the recruits thought they'd make better teachers. {{storylink|Who's Teaching Who?}} The recruits contacted Cody when their attempt to retrieve a balloon from a tree somehow ended up with the tree stuck to a rocket flying through Milford. {{storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}}

[[File:TrickOrTreat Cody.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
After educating the recruits about [[Halloween]], Cody took them trick or treating in Milford as they'd be mistaken for humans wearing costumes. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}} Cody's attempts to explain advertising to Medix were ultimately unsuccessful, as the Bot went to help someone whom he believed was being attacked by monsters. Cody subsequently had to participate in a cover-up. {{storylink|Monster Savings}} Cody and Heatwave were dealing with a crashed ice cream truck in Griffin Rock when they had to come to the assistance of Boulder and the recruits, who'd stumbled on a nest of [[Scraplet]]s. He later scared the others when they mistook his [[carrot]] crunching for Scraplets. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}} Cody and Boulder watched the recruits sorting their trash. {{storylink|Flying Hunk-A-Junk}}

Cody helped Heatwave conduct repairs as his hands were smaller, though they were interrupted by the recruits testing out a new comms system created by Hoist which was inaudible to [[human]]s. After the comms system turned out to disturb animals, Cody realized Hoist had based it on a dog whistle. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} Cody took part in the recruits' final test, a teachers vs students relay race. Unfortunately Cody's tow truck was unable to carry [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] fast enough (or even move the big lug, as a matter of fact), and he lost to Hoist. He was later on hand to farewell Hot Shot when the Bot opted to abandon his training and return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} Cody, Optimus, Heatwave and Chase were trapped in a slowly-expanding energon bubble as a result of the recruits tampering with the space bridge. They were eventually freed by the recruits. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}

[[File:RoboCody Cody in bot.jpg|thumb|right|270px]]
The recruits jumped to the conclusion that Cody was down because he wasn't a robot like them and couldn't join in the same activities. This resulted in the construction of a robotic suit which Cody found difficult to control, especially the rocket boosters, however he was eventually able to explain that he had just been missing hanging out with the recruits. {{storylink|Robo-Cody}} Cody volunteered to look after [[Heatwave (dog)|Heatwave]] while the dog's owners were away, though this meant he'd miss out on a trip to the aquarium. As it turned out, he got to go after all when Medix volunteered to mind the dog for him. {{storylink|Heatwave's Shiny Coat}}

When Frankie and her father were trapped in the lab surrounded by a slowly shrinking force field, she contacted Cody who mobilised the Rescue Bots. He was able to keep in contact with her while the team worked on rescuing everyone from the force field. {{Storylink|Partners (RBA)|Partners}} Cody had the recruits learn some ballet to make them lighter on their feet. {{storylink|Shall We Dance?}} Cody joined the recruits on a camping trip on [[Natura Island]], but failed to turn off the anti-technology measures, resulting in them being transported to a junk yard. They were fortunately rescued by Chase and Whirl, and Cody made sure the system was off. {{storylink|Five Little Rescue Bots}}

[[File:CampfireFright Cody tells story.jpg|thumb|left|290px]]
Cody took the recruits on another camping trip, though his spooky tale of the [[Zombie Ghost Bear]] was too frightening for Hot Shot. {{storylink|Campfire Fright}} Cody and Wes invited Wedge to be the latter's partner during his first responder test, and later timed the pair as they successfully completed the course, breaking the record. {{storylink|First Responder}} Cody and Wes joined Heatwave in inviting the Rescue Teens to train as first responders. {{storylink|Rescue Teens}} While [[Finn O'Reilly]] joined the Rescue Bots in following a trail stored in a [[holokey]], Cody operated the GroundBridge to move them between locations. {{storylink|X Marks The Bot}}

Cody got Medix into electronic dance music artist DJ Mechmaster. {{storylink|Griffin Rock Rocks!}} When the recruits invited him to take part in a game of Cube, he pointed out it would be dangerous for him as a squishy human, and instead suggested [[Tough Luck Chuck]]. {{storylink|Bot Battle}} Cody was on a First Responder camp out {{storylink|Space Party}} and had to be fetched by [[Slash (RBA)|Slash]] so the recruits could use the encryption key he had to access Griffin Rock's new satellite dishes. He later attended the recruits' year two graduation. {{storylink|Crash Of The Titan}}

*'''Cody Burns & Rescue Hose''' (2011)
:Cody Burns comes packaged with the [[Rescue Hose]] [[Rescue Gear]].

:The Rescue Hose consists of a large water cannon mounted to a reverse tricycle chassis. The included Cody Burns figure can stand on the platform (there's a peg where his left foot would go); his arms are molded so that his left hand is reaching for the yellow lever on top and his right hand is secured on the handle bars.

:Pushing the yellow lever forward and letting it go will cause the blue water spray in front of the cannon to spin around, giving the appearance of the water actively being sprayed. Pressing down on the water cannon assembly will cause it to collapse and a handle to emerge from the bottom. The Rescue Bots can use this handle to wield the now-collapsed Rescue Hose like a water sprayer.

*'''Cody Burns & Rescue Axe''' (2011)
:Cody Burns comes packaged with the [[Rescue Axe]] [[Rescue Gear]].

:A significant [[redeco]] of the original figure, this version of Cody Burns features a number of immediately visible differences from the original. The legs are molded using the same slightly darker red plastic as the rest of the figure and layered with black paint to represent his pants. His belt has been changed from black to white, the hem of his jacket is unpainted, his goggles are yellow instead of blue, and his complexion is distinctly darker. He is also missing the [[Autobot]] symbol from his hat.

:The Rescue Axe consists of a large axe mounted to a wheeled self-propelled platform. The included Cody Burns figure can stand on the platform (there's a peg where his left foot would go); both hands can wrap around the handlebars, but some squeezing of the figure is necessary to do so due to how wide the shoulders are.

:Pushing the yellow button down and letting it go will cause the axe head to move up and down in a "chopping" motion. Pressing down on the handlebars and front guard will cause it to collapse and a handle to emerge from the bottom. The Rescue Bots can use this handle to wield the now-collapsed Rescue Axe.

*'''Energize Optimus Prime and Cody Burns''' (two-pack, 2013)

*'''Heatwave the Fire-Bot and Cody Burns''' (two-pack, 2014)
**''Accessories'': Hoverboard

:This two-pack contains yet another new-sculpt Cody Burns, this time wearing his superhero costume from "Rescue Boy". This version lacks any articulation and is molded in a dynamic pose. He's packaged with Heatwave, who resembles his speedboat rescan toy. The hoverboard is a separate accessory, rather than being permanently attached to Cody.

*'''Bumblebee Rock Rescue Team''' (Rescue Pack, 2017)

: Part of the first (and only) wave of Rescue Pack figures, this version of Cody is certainly happy! He's decked out in rock-climbing gear, as well as articulated arms (on a single axle so they both move at once) and wrist-swivels. His backpack has a [[5 mm post]]-compatible clip on it, particularly meant to hold the back and wings of fellow pack-in [[Talon (RB)|Talon the Eagle-Bot]], giving him a glider-pack.

: The set also includes a rock-climbing buggy version of [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Rescue Packs|Bumblebee]], and [[Hunter (RB Mini-Con)|Hunter the Lion-Bot]].

:This set showed up in stores without ''any'' advance word from [[Hasbro]] whatsoever.
