'''Samuel James "Sam" Witwicky''' (b. [[October 10]], [[1990]] or [[September 13]], [[1991]])<ref>Sam's birthday, according to the [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Timeline.cfm Hasbro.com official timeline] that came out with the first movie, is October 10, 1990. Indeed, the [[:File:Witwickytree.jpg|genealogy chart]] in [[Transformers (film)|the 2007 movie]] indicates Sam was born in 1990. In ''Revenge of the Fallen'', the shot of Sam's driver's license has the date of birth as [[September 13]], 1991. ''[[Transformers: The Junior Novel]]'' has Frenzy note that Sam is 16 due to the information Sam provided in his eBay listing, and so that would seem to suggest a 1991 birth date as well. Take your pick as to which is right.</ref> is a typical adolescent human with an atypical destiny. He quite often ends up in the crossfire in the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. He can seem to be a coward sometimes, but he has the makings of a true leader.<br />
<br />
When he bought a car, it turned out to be [[Bumblebee (Movie)|an alien robot]]. Who knew? Also, his pheromone levels suggest that he wants to mate with [[Mikaela Banes]].<br />
<br />
He is also known as '''LadiesMan217'''.<br />

[[File:Movie Sam classreport papers.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Is this a genealogy report or an auction?]]<br />
<br />
In 10th grade, Sam tried out for the football team. He failed. Trent would take notice of this and taunt him about this sometimes, but Sam would claim that he was researching a book he was writing, which was allegedly about the link between football and brain damage.<br />
<br />
After getting an undeserved A- for his genealogy report, Sam went with his father to buy a car. Though they passed a [[Jazz (G1)|Porsche]] car lot, Ron was actually playing a cruel joke on his son. (Real smart, considering that he'll eventually get {{w|power of attorney}} someday.) Going to [[Bobby Bolivia]]'s car lot, they went shopping for a used car. Sam spotted a Camaro that he liked, but Ron, ever the cheap man, refused to go over four thousand dollars. However, when all the windows in the car lot suddenly exploded, Bolivia agreed to four thousand.<br />
<br />
[[File:Movie Sam Bumble Lake.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|That Charles Atlas course really works!]]<br />
<br />
Sam took his buddy Miles to the lake, where they encountered Mikaela and her boyfriend [[Trent DeMarco|Trent]]. Trent pretty much told them to get lost, but Mikaela then dumped Trent. Realizing he had his one shot, Sam abandoned Miles and offered to give Mikaela a ride home. When his car had some engine trouble, Mikaela looked under the hood and was quite impressed with the layout of the Camaro's engine, though Sam was more impressed with the layout of Mikaela. After giving her a ride home, Mikaela asked Sam if he thought she was shallow. Sam awkwardly replied that he thought there was "more than meets the eye... with you". After berating himself for his lame pickup line, Sam watched Mikaela wave goodbye from her porch and felt that he had made progress, prompting him to say he loved his car.<br />
<br />
[[File:Movie2007 Bumblebee firstsighting.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Nope, nothing out of the ordinary here, no sirree.]]<br />
<br />
Later that night, his car suddenly left. Believing it was being stolen, Sam followed it to an abandoned junkyard. To his shock and horror, the car was [[Transformer|alive]]. Sam left his last words to his parents and [[Mojo]], in which he acknowledged that he owned the ''Busty Beauties'' issues that were given to him by his uncle [[Charles (Movie)|Charles]], then investigated. Some police came and arrested him, and an overzealous cop, believing him to be a junkie, called him "[[50 Cent]]". Once he returned home, [[Unicron|Satan's]] Camaro arrived, and Sam fled ignominiously on his [[Judy Witwicky|mother's]] pink bike. He hit the cement hard in front of Mikaela and soon found a police car. He demanded the officer's help...at which point said police car turned into [[Barricade (Movie)|an even scarier car]]. After throwing Sam onto a nearby vehicle, the cop car demanded the location of Sam's eBay items, but Sam fled and ran into Mikaela. The Camaro arrived and took them to a power plant, where the two cars fought it out while Sam was chased by [[Frenzy (Movie)|a horrible little abomination]] who pantsed him. Mikaela was able to cut off its head, which Sam punted. <br />
<br />
[[File:BarricadeVsSam.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"Are you user name ladiesman217?!"<br/> "NO!"<br/> "Oh. Well, then never mind."<br/> "Really?"<br/> "No, I'm still gonna kill you."]]<br />
<br />
Sam and Mikaela approached the Camaro, who could only speak through his radio and offered them a ride. Mikaela was hesitant, but Sam convinced her to get in. While driving, Sam had shotgun, but Mikaela refused to sit in the driver's seat. Sam suggested that she sit in his lap. Safety first, right? She agreed, then admitted to Sam that it was a smooth move on his part. Mikaela then asked if the robot was so advanced, then why did he turn into a piece of crap Camaro? Insulted, the car forced them out. As Sam lamented how four thousand dollars had driven off, the car returned as a 2009 Camaro. It took the teens to an observatory, where they watched as four meteors entered Earth's atmosphere, during which Mikaela instinctively reached out for Sam's hand. They were then escorted to an abandoned alley, where they met the biggest surprises of them all: four other cars [[Transformation|transformed]] into robots. The lead robot, after inquiring about Sam's identity, introduced himself as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Prime (rank)|leader]] of the [[Autobot]]s, autonomous robotic lifeforms from a planet known as [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Prime introduced [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], his first lieutenant; [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], his weapons expert; and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], their medical officer (who claimed that Sam's pheromone level indicated that he wanted to mate with Mikaela, embarrassing both teens); and identified the Camaro as Bumblebee, Sam's appointed guardian. Optimus explained their mission to locate the [[AllSpark]], the betrayal of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s, and how [[Archibald Witwicky's glasses]] played a vital role in finding the AllSpark.<br />
<br />
[[File:Movie Sam Mikaela meettheAutobots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Oh, great, now you get mugged by giant alien robots.]]<br />
<br />
Going to his house, Sam frantically searched for the [[glasses]], but the Autobots were somewhat impatient and totally wrecked his dad's backyard. After he found the glasses, government agents arrived. Their leader, [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]], took Sam and Mikaela into custody, separating Sam from his parents. Simmons went bad cop on Sam, threatening him with life imprisonment and revealing Mikaela's criminal record. Just as Simmons demanded answers about aliens, Prime intercepted the convoy, and the Autobots totally outclassed the agents. Sam demanded to know what [[Sector Seven]] was, but a backup team arrived. Prime took Sam and Mikaela to hide under a bridge, but they nearly fell to their deaths. Bumblebee saved them but was captured, and Sam and Mikaela were recaptured. <br />
<br />
[[File:Movie Sam Bumblebee capture.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|If you thought this part of the hazing was bad, wait'll you see what they do with the scraplets.]]<br />
<br />
They were taken to [[Hoover Dam]], where Simmons tried the awkward role of good cop, but Sam was uninterested in talking. [[Tom Banachek]] tried to bribe him, and Sam demanded the freeing of Bumblebee, his parents, and the expunging of Mikaela's criminal record. Taking them into the dam, Sector Seven showed them [[Megatron (Movie)|N.B.E.-1]], whom Sam recognized as Megatron. He explained Megatron's goals and the purpose of the AllSpark. However, the abomination that had pantsed him sent a message to the Decepticons, who attacked. Sam implored Sector Seven to release Bumblebee, saying he could help, which [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] expedited by putting a gun to Simmons's chest. Bumblebee converted the AllSpark to a smaller form, and the soldiers, soon augmented by the Autobots, escorted the two teens and Bumblebee to [[Mission City]]. <br />
<br />
[[File:Movie Megatron Samonroof.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Why, Mr. Witwicky, why, WHY do you persist!?]]<br />
<br />
Upon reaching Mission City, an F-22 Raptor was spotted, which Ironhide recognized as [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Starscream attacked, damaging Bumblebee's legs, and [[Brawl (Movie)|a tank]] attacked the soldiers. As the Autobots and the soldiers went to deal with the tank, Mikaela arrived with a tow truck to remove Bumblebee from the battle. Megatron soon arrived and killed Jazz, and Lennox ordered Sam to take the AllSpark to a building to be escorted out of the city. Despite Sam's refusal to leave, Bumblebee handed the Cube to him, urging him to go. Sam was pursued by Megatron, Starscream, and [[Blackout (Movie)|a helicopter]], with Ratchet and Ironhide providing protection, but they were injured by Starscream, and Sam was forced to leave without them. During his flight, Sam dropped the AllSpark, causing [[Steering wheel robot|some]] [[Dispensor|nearby]] [[Xbox 360 robot|machines]] to come to life. Reaching the building, Sam ignited a flare, but his ride was destroyed by Starscream. <br />
<br />
[[File:Movie Sam defeats Megatron.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|left|Now, light our darkest hour...]]<br />
<br />
Cornered on the roof, Megatron demanded the AllSpark in exchange for living to be [[Ravage (G1)|his]] [[Laserbeak (G1)|pet]], but Sam refused. Megatron used his flail to knock Sam off the roof, but Sam was saved by Optimus Prime. Telling Sam to hold onto the cube, Prime tried to scale down the building, but Megatron knocked them all off. Prime managed to shield Sam from any serious injury, however. Prime expressed admiration for Sam's efforts and told him that if he couldn't defeat Megatron, Sam was to merge the Cube with Optimus's [[spark]], destroying both Prime and the AllSpark. Megatron was indeed too powerful for Optimus to defeat alone, and Prime told Sam to push the cube into the Autobot's chest. Instead, Sam merged the AllSpark with Megatron, killing him. Optimus extended his thanks, telling him he owed Sam a debt of gratitude. Bumblebee, who could now speak, requested permission to stay with Sam, to which Sam eagerly agreed. Sam and Mikaela entered into a relationship and made out on Bumblebee's hood while Ironhide and Ratchet observed. <br />

[[File:ROTF Sam Cube fragment.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Damned bedbugs.]]<br />
About two years later, Sam was packing up his stuff and preparing to leave for college with his parents, insisting that he was not going to be with anyone else but [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]], at which point she called to tell him she was breaking up with him. Sam played it cool as he convinced her that they should stay together, having already brought a "long distance relationship kit", and offered to throw in his sweater from the battle two years earlier. A shard of the AllSpark fell out of the sweater and a.) brought numerous kitchen devices to life and b.) imprinted a large collection of ancient Cybertronian knowledge onto his brain. After [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] destroyed the kitchen robots (and parts of the Witwickys' house with them), Sam handed the AllSpark shard to [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]]. In a wrenching heart-to-heart with Bumblebee, he dismissed him from his role as guardian, saying it was time for Bumblebee to rejoin the other Autobots (and Sam wasn't allowed to have a car at college, anyway). Before he departed he and Mikaela argued over the fact that neither would say they loved each other, and Sam claimed it was all part of an elaborate plan to keep her interested.<br />
<br />
Arriving at college, Sam met his roommate, [[Leo Spitz]], who operated a [[The Real Effing Deal|conspiracy website]] and was convinced that alien robots were hiding on Earth. Sam, already fretting that his wacky roommate would discover his connection to the Autobots and attempting to throw him off the truth, was mortified when he realised [[Judy Witwicky|Judy]] had unknowingly bought and digested brownies, making her run around the campus and babbling about his private life before [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] took her away. <br />
<br />
Going to a frat party on at the same time as his first web chat date with Mikaela, Sam also met his fellow student [[Alice (ROTF)|Alice]], who immediately and forcefully attempted to seduce him. When Bumblebee showed up noting they had a problem, Alice invited herself along on a ride with Sam, but Bumblebee did everything he could to convince her to leave. After finally getting rid of her, Bumblebee took Sam to Optimus Prime, who was convinced—for some reason—that Sam was in danger. Even more strangely, Optimus asked Sam to act as a go-between for the Autobots to humanity at large. Sam, wanting to be normal, declined due to his anger that he hadn't even been given one day of normality at college.<br />
<br />
[[File:ROTF mental meltdown.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|What do you mean, this movie is [http://theabyssgazes.blogspot.com/2010/03/teal-and-orange-hollywood-please-stop.html only orange and teal?]]]<br />
Because no good deed goes unpunished, of course, as Sam shortly thereafter began to see [[Cyberglyphics|strange symbols]] right in the middle of his first astronomy class. He also developed a nasty eye tic and decided to assert in front of his [[Colan|professor]] and about three hundred of his colleagues that Einstein was wrong, that the first four dimensions were unfairly in the spotlight, and what about the other thirteen that nobody ever talks about? He began to write out the symbols in support of this theory on a blackboard in front of his class, until he pulled himself together and was ordered out of the class.<br />
<br />
After recovering from this outburst, Sam believed it might have something to do with him touching the AllSpark shard, and he contacted his bitter-for-standing-him-up girlfriend to warn her not to touch the shard. Mikaela promptly boarded a plane to see Sam, but when she arrived, she found him in what appeared to be an intimate moment with Alice, who had come in with Leo as Sam was drawing more Cybertronian symbols all over the walls. Fortunately for Sam's relationship, Alice turned out to be a killer alien robot who tried to strangle him with her tongue. Sam, Mikaela and Leo, who stumbled across Alice's robotic self by accident, tried to escape but were captured by a [[Grindor (ROTF)|Decepticon helicopter]] who took them to an abandoned foundry where [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and a resurrected [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] waited. <br />
<br />
[[File:ROTF must have brain.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Hey Doc, don't get all Egyptian-ish and take out my brain through my nose!]]<br />
After Sam's failure at relating to the thirty-foot-tall robot, Megatron ordered a small, glasses-wearing robot called [[Scalpel (ROTF)|The Doctor]] and his [[Scalpel's assistant|assistants]] to remove Sam's brain in order to access the information from the AllSpark shard. Sam pleaded for the chance to talk things through, just as Optimus Prime and Bumblebee arrived and attacked the Decepticons, freeing Sam, Mikaela and Leo. Fleeing with the Autobot leader through a forest, Sam was caught up in Optimus's attempt to fight off Megatron, Starscream and Grindor all by himself. After killing Grindor, Optimus was impaled by Megatron and died, his last words being for Sam to run. Just then, the other Autobots arrived, causing Megatron and Starscream to retreat. Sam was safe, for the moment at least, and upset that he had been responsible to Optimus Prime's death.<br />
<br />
In a hijacked TV broadcast, [[The Fallen]] revealed his existence to the global public and demanded Sam to be surrendered to him. Decepticons landed around the globe, killing several thousand people. In Paris, one of them tracked down Sam's parents and captured them, and a manhunt led by the FBI and CIA began for Sam. Sam hid out with Mikaela, Leo, Bumblebee and the Autobot twins, [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] in an old prison, and was frustrated by Leo's panicking. Sam contemplated turning himself in, blaming himself for all the casualties, but Mikaela and Bumblebee knew the Decepticons wouldn't just leave Earth alone if that happened. <br />
<br />
Sam then decided they should try and find out what the symbols he had been seeing meant, but neither Bumblebee or the twins could read the ancient dialect, and Leo suggested they ask his rival, "[[Robo-Warrior]]", owner of a [[GiantEffingRobots.com|competing website]], for help. To everyone's surprise, Robo-Warrior turned out to be none other than [[Seymour Simmons]], former agent of [[Sector Seven]], who still held a small grudge against Sam until he mentioned the Cybertronian symbols. Simmons revealed that symbols similar to those Sam was obsessed with had been found on numerous excavation sites around the world, but in order to read them, they might need a Decepticon. Mikaela just happened to be carrying around [[Wheelie (ROTF)|a Decepticon]], who when interrogated suggested they track down one of the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]], a species of Transformer that had been present on Earth for much of its history.<br />
<br />
[[File:ROTF Sam burns hand.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4| AHHH, THE LIGHT—IT BURNS!!!]]<br />
At the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Sam used the last remaining AllSpark shard to reactivate an old Decepticon named [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]], disguised as an SR-71 Blackbird. Jetfire claimed to have defected to the Autobots and upon Sam showing him the symbols and mentioning The Fallen's name, Jetfire opened a [[space bridge]] and teleported the entire group to [[Egypt]], injuring Sam's hand in the process. Jetfire proceeded to tell them about The Fallen, who betrayed his brothers, the [[Dynasty of Primes|Primes]], many millennia ago. The Fallen intended to destroy the Earth's sun in order to create [[energon]], the Transformers' source of energy, and the symbols in Sam's head were a map to the location of the [[Star Harvester]], the weapon intended to use to destroy the sun. Jetfire also revealed that only a Prime could stop The Fallen, and a key was needed to activate the harvester: the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Sam asked Jetfire whether the Matrix would also revive Optimus Prime, to which Jetfire responded that it might be possible, given the unusual radiation that the Matrix generated.<br />
<br />
[[File:ROTF Matrix crumbles.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|We came all the way to Kansas for this, and that benefactor didn't tell me my PS3 Controller would just crumble into dust!]]<br />
Setting off with Jetfire's translation of the symbols, "When dawn alights the Dagger's Tip, Three Kings shall reveal the doorway", Sam planned to have Simmons call [[William Lennox|Lennox]] and have him transport Optimus's body to Egypt. After a stopover for the night between the Pyramids of Giza, during which Sam totally failed at declaring his love for Mikaela, he realised that the Three Kings were in fact the star constellations above the Pyramids, which pointed to Jordan. In the Petra mountains, the group discovered the tomb of the Primes, uncovered during a fight between Skids and Mudflap. Inside, Sam found the Matrix, which crumbled to dust when he touched it. Sam collected the dust regardless, and together they traveled back to Egypt.<br />
<br />
[[File:ROTF-Mikaela-and-Sam-Running.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Run, Mikaela! Run for the sake of cool perspective shots!]]<br />
Meanwhile, the NEST team parachuted down and prepared for [[Operation: Firestorm|battle]] near the pyramids, having realised the Decepticons were on their way. Before Sam and the others could get back to Lennox and his people, the Decepticons commenced their assault and Starscream attacked, so while the others created a diversion, Sam and Mikaela cut through an Egyptian village. After killing a searching [[Insecticon (Movie)|Insecticon]], they fled from Starscream and [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]], running straight into a trap the Constructicon [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] had set up using his parents. Sam stalled for time by offering to hand over the Matrix dust, 'til he was rescued by Bumblebee. Sam ordered Bumblebee to get his parents to safety while he and Mikaela continued on.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tf2009 mol.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Even Frisbees on Cybertron were co-opted into the [[Great War (disambiguation)|Great War]].]]<br />
Sam and Mikaela almost joined a search group led by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], but they were attacked and forced to head on by themselves. Arriving at the site of the main battle, they were saved by Lennox, [[Robert Epps|Epps]] and Jetfire, but Sam was mortally wounded by a blast fired by Megatron as he made his way to Optimus's body. While paramedics tried to reanimate him, the Matrix dust was spilled across his hand, and Sam encountered the dead Primes in a vision. The Primes told him that he was destined to find the Matrix and save the life of the last Prime. Sam returned to life, and the dust in his hand reassembled itself into the Matrix. Sam took the opportunity to tell Mikaela that he loved her. With the Matrix, Sam was able to revive Optimus Prime, who ultimately was able to defeat the Fallen.<br />
<br />
[[File:ROTF Sam back at school.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Did anyone miss me?]]<br />
With the battle won, the Autobots, NEST, Sam and his friends returned to the USA on board an aircraft carrier, where Sam and Optimus Prime checked out the view from the back. Optimus thanked Sam for saving his life, and Sam in turn thanked him for believing in him. Upon his return, Sam continued to attend college. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}<br />

Sometime after [[Operation: Firestorm]] and following being dumped by Mikaela, Sam was awarded a medal for his heroism by [[Barack Obama]]. While at the White House, he met [[Carly Spencer]]. He later went on to move in with his new girlfriend in [[Washington, D.C.]]. They took in the small Autobots [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Brains]] as "pets" (and [[Bonecrusher (dog)|Mikaela's dog]] for some reason) while Bumblebee also continued to live with Sam, but he would frequently leave to continue his work with [[NEST]], leading Sam to buy a Bumblebee-like car (described by his mother as a 'sad piece of shit') to fill in for his friend.<br />
<br />
Receiving a stuffed rabbit from Carly as a good luck charm as he prepared to set out to find a new job, Sam took a moment to complain about the government not allowing him to work with the Autobots, having to borrow money from Carly to pay for things, and the fact that his parents were coming to visit in a week's time. As Carly left for work, Sam reminded the small Autobots of their place and left to begin job-hunting. But his parents had arrived early, and Sam made it clear he had job interviews, and he had to get a ride from them, since his car refused to start. After a series of failed interviews, Sam arrived at a telecommunication company named [[Accuretta Systems]], where his apparently failing attempt to win over [[Bruce Brazos]] succeeded, and he was given a position as a mail carrier. Sam then visited Carly at [[Hotchkiss Gould Investments]] with the news. He then met Carly's boss, [[Dylan Gould]], who seemed all too close to his girlfriend, but Sam denied any jealousy. Before they could go, Dylan revealed that he was on the board for Accuretta Systems and had provided a letter of recommendation for him, to Sam's confusion. <br />
<br />
Almost as soon as he started work, Sam found his job to be boring and unfulfilling. Receiving a quick visit from Carly, during which she apparently helped boost Bruce's opinion of Sam, he was dismayed to learn Dylan had loaned her a [[Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes]] SLS AMG. <br />
<br />
[[File:DOTM-JerryWangSam.jpg|left|thumb|200px|They warned me about office romances...]][[File:DOTMSam Bee Thatsmycar.JPG|right|thumb|200px|"Sam, did you replace me with a piece of rusting junk?" <br> "Of course not, I replaced you with a collectible automobile."]]<br />
<br />
Later, one of Sam's co-workers, [[Jerry Wang]], confronted Sam and held him down in a toilet stall. There Jerry told the freaked-out Sam that the Autobots were in danger and the Decepticons were killing humans. After giving Sam his manifesto, Jerry left and Bruce noticed that the two had been struggling in the stall together, creating some . . . awkward moments afterwards. Sam went through Jerry's notes, which contained information regarding the dark side of the Moon. He was confused as to what it meant and went to Jerry's office to ask some questions, but Jerry acted strangely, pretending it had never happened and demanded he leave. Almost immediately after, Jerry fell out of the window to his death, and Bruce told Sam that he didn't care about what had happened earlier, however a [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|condor-like Decepticon]] suddenly attacked Sam, and he barely managed to get out of the office.<br />
<br />
Sam decided to head to the NEST base with Carly, but the guards refused to let him in and pretended he was in the wrong place. After arguing with the guards, Sam radioed for Bumblebee as they restrained him, and Bumblebee arrived and warned them off. Before they went in, Sam told Bumblebee that he was disappointed that they never saw each other any more. He told [[William Lennox|Lennox]] about Jerry's death and his notes of the Moon. Incidentally, NEST and the Autobots had discovered the crashed Autobot ship the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'', which had been the driving force of the American-Russian space race in the '60s, on the Moon. Not only that, they had recently returned from it with the deactivated [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] and five pillars that helped form a space bridge. National Intelligence Director [[Charlotte Mearing]] was not happy with Sam's presence, and after witnessing Optimus reactivate Sentinel with the [[Matrix of Leadership]], she warned Sam that while she was pleased with the information he had brought, he was nothing but a messenger and that his help wasn't necessary.<br />
<br />
Upon arriving back at home with Bumblebee, Sam decided he wasn't going to let the matter go and called [[Seymour Simmons|Simmons]] and his assistant [[Dutch (DOTM)|Dutch]] for help. The group went through piles of information and came to the conclusion that humans were working with the Decepticons and had been doing so since the space race. When Carly got back, she wasn't happy with Sam, reminding him they were going to Dylan's and believed that he wanted to put himself in danger. She asked Sam to let the situation go, but he refused, and she left. After tracking down a pair of Russian cosmonauts, the group learned that there were once hundreds of pillars, but the Decepticons had stolen them before anyone had reached the ''Ark''. Realising that the Decepticons had left behind Sentinel, the only one who could control the pillars, so that the Autobots could revive him, Sam called Mearing to warn her. <br />
<br />
[[File:Dotm-sam&bumblebee-ahhh!-1-.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br />
Aided by Bumblebee, [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] and [[Dino]], they began escorting Sentinel back to the NEST base. En route, they were attacked by the [[Dread (DOTM)|Dreads]], and during the ensuing chase, Bumblebee was forced transform over a crashing truck, tossing Sam out above him and catching again as he reverted to vehicle mode. But when they arrived back at base, Sentinel revealed that he had made a deal with Megatron to restore Cybertron, then killed [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], wrecked the NEST base and stole his pillars before leaving.<br />
<br />
Sam rushed back home to find Carly before remembering she was at Dylan's. He went to his parents to tell them about their argument, and after an embarrassing conversation in which Judy and Ron expressed their opinions of Sam's love life, he realized how much he loved Carly and warned his parents to leave the city. Arriving at Dylan's mansion, he convinced Carly to allow them the chance to talk by being rude to Dylan. However Dylan revealed that his father was once one of the Decepticons' allies. Sam and Carly tried to flee in the loaned Mercedes, only for it to reveal itself as [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], who held Carly hostage. Dylan demanded that Sam find out the Autobots' plan to fight back against the hundreds of the Decepticons brought to Earth by the space bridge, forcing him to wear a [[Watch-bot]] so that he couldn't warn them. Before he left, Sam promised that he would kill Dylan for threatening Carly. He was taken to Mearing by NEST agents, and after she apologized for not believing him, learned that Sentinel had forced the government into exiling the Autobots. Sam was taken to the Autobots' ship, the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'', where a group of Autobots called the [[Wrecker]]s were preparing the ship for launch. Sam pleaded for Optimus to ignore the government's demand for exile and asked what their plan was, but Optimus said they had none. After he and Bumblebee bade him farewell, Sam watched as the ''Xantium'' took off and called Dylan to let him know they were gone, only to learn that the Decepticons had never intended to let the Autobots leave. Sam could only watch as the ship was then destroyed.<br />
<br />
He decided that he would find Dylan and save Carly, and with Simmons and Dutch's help he tracked Dylan's location to [[Chicago]]. [[Robert Epps|Epps]] decided to help Sam and gathered a group of soldiers to accompany them. But en route, the Decepticons invaded Chicago, and the group arrived on the devastated city outskirts. While the soldiers were reluctant to go in, Sam was determined, even though Epps tried to convince him they didn't stand a chance. They were then attacked by a Decepticon [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighter]], which was brought down by Optimus Prime and the Wreckers. As the rest of the Autobots arrived, they revealed that they had known the Decepticons would never let them go or leave Earth alone and so had hid in a booster rocket that disengaged before the ship was destroyed. With Bumblebee piloting the fighter, Sam infiltrated Dylan's building but was again attacked by Laserbeak, who dropped him over the side. Luckily, Bumblebee caught him, and after Carly jumped onto the fighter, Sam held Laserbeak in place as Bumblebee blasted the 'Con's head off. Once the fighter crash-landed, they awaited the arrival of the rest of the Autobots. After Carly explained the Decepticons' scheme to bring Cybertron into Earth's solar system to NEST via a downed UAV drone optic, Epps came up with a plan to destroy the control pillar with a rocket shot from a high building. Before Sam and the other humans left, [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Que]] handed out grappling hooks and boomsticks.<br />
<br />
[[File:DOTMGrappleglove.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|I love the Power Glove. It's so bad.]]<br />
<br />
Sam and the others made it into [[Galileo Building|a tall building]], but before the rocket could be launched, Decepticon fighters began firing at the skyscraper, causing it to tilt, and a Decepticon protoform came in looking for them. Escaping by jumping out of the window and sliding down to a lower floor, the group's presence was discovered by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], who sent his [[Driller]] to finish the building. After their tower slammed into another, Sam and the others escaped while Optimus arrived and killed the Driller. They began rushing toward the building with the pillars, which had started to activate, but Sam and Carly were separated from Epps and his men. They were found by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who relished the opportunity to be alone with Sam and started toying around with him. Sam fired the grappling hook into one of Starscream's eyes, and as Starscream thrashed in panic, Sam was flung around and eventually crashed through a window. While he had the opportunity, he armed one of the boomsticks Que had given him, hoping that it had 'better work.' Taking advantage of the arrival of Lennox's team, Sam jumped onto Starscream's head and lodged the armed boomstick into his other eye. He was again flung around while Lennox tried to free him. Starscream flew to the top of a building, and as his head exploded, Bumblebee arrived to catch the falling pair. <br />
<br />
They met up with Epps's team and large force of soldiers, but Sam and Carly snuck across the river to find Bumblebee, Dino, Sideswipe, Que and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] captured by Soundwave's forces. As the 'Cons began executing their prisoners, starting with Que, Sam desperately tried to prepare another boomstick to save Bumblebee when his turn came, but it malfunctioned, forcing Sam to watch in horror and despair as his friend was about to be executed before his eyes. Luckily, Bumblebee was saved when Wheelie and Brains took control of a Decepticon ship and caused a distraction that allowed Bumblebee to kill Soundwave. Sam and Carly ended up in the middle of the battlefield, and Sam called to Optimus to warn him about the pillars, and Optimus managed to stall the process by firing at the control pillar. Sam insisted on helping and assured Carly she would be all right, then began rushing to the pillar, which Dylan was trying to reactivate. Sam tried to stop him but failed, and Dylan kicked him off the collapsed structure. Sam refused to give up, however. When Dylan said Sam wasn't a hero, Sam agreed, stating he was just the messenger...then knocked Dylan into the active pillar, killing him. Bumblebee and Ratchet arrived and destroyed the pillar, causing the partially formed Cybertron to collapse in on itself. <br />
<br />
After Optimus had killed Sentinel Prime and Megatron, Sam arrived with the others and hugged Carly in relief. Sam apologized for putting himself in danger and said she was all he needed and he would do anything to make it up to her. She forgave him, and Bumblebee took the opportunity to pass out rings, though Sam interpreted this as needing to "slow way down". Sam then joined the Autobots and soldiers as they stood as heroes for rescuing the world from utter destruction -- perhaps finally with due credit. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}<br />

Considering the man's proclamation of being the last surviving member of the Order of Witwiccans, it is possible Sam had perished by the time Cybertron returned to Earth's orbit.

Years later, Sam discovered the concept of riding around in cars to cruise for chicks.

Shortly after the battle of Mission City, Sam and Mikaela were watching Ratchet reattach Bumblebee's legs when [[Dispensor|the transformed Mountain Dew machine]] suddenly attacked Sam. Fortunately, Ratchet crushed the creature before it could cause further havoc. Examining the liquid from its remains, Ratchet warned his human friends about the dangers in weight gain and tooth decay that the substance could cause to them. Amused, Sam and Mikaela promised to be careful. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1|Alliance #1}}<br />

A few months later, after the Autobots and the [[United States military]] had agreed to operation under a formal military alliance as [[NEST]], Major Lennox became concerned over an ominous warning he had received from [[Swindle (Movie)|a Decepticon]] they had just destroyed. The Decepticons were looking for "it", and both Lennox and Optimus Prime feared they could be after Sam again. Though Lennox refused Prime's suggestion of placing Sam in protective custody at their base on [[Diego Garcia]], believing it was too much for the boy to handle, they agreed that somebody needed to keep an eye on Sam, and so Bumblebee once again assumed the role of his protector. {{storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}<br />

Sam was delighted to see Bumblebee return, but the delight stopped when Bumblebee "helped" to get a cat out of a tree by shaking the tree until it got off. After learning that Bumblebee had returned to watch over him, Sam used the Autobot as his ride to the movies for a double date between him and Mikaela, and Miles with Mikaela's friend [[Lindsey]]. Once there, he saw Trent's truck and hoped not to run into him. The night went without a hitch, and Sam was happy that Bumblebee behaved himself in front of Trent, but Bumblebee explained that he got back at Trent by flipping over his car, which displeased Sam. As the days went by, Bumblebee's attempt to integrate himself into Sam's life didn't go as smoothly as he had hoped. Without the team structure of the Autobots, Bumblebee grew more reckless and impulsive, from smashing a would-be car thief with the door he was attempting to unlock, to inadvertently earning Sam traffic tickets for running red lights. Eventually, Sam discussed his upcoming college plans with Bumblebee, explaining that the yellow guy might not be able to accompany him at school. He then had to persuade his parents to let Bumblebee stay in the garage while he was at school, but Ron strenuously said no, stating that 'Bee could stay for the summer, but once Sam left for school, the Autobot had to leave too. Frustrated, Sam walked to Mikaela's to cool off, but twenty minutes later, he was captured by Barricade, who chained him up and hung him from a hook over a junkyard car crusher. The Decepticon demanded that Sam tell him the locations of Bumblebee and the AllSpark, but Sam had no idea about either. As Barricade prepared to drop the young human into the crusher, Bumblebee arrived just in time, and Sam safely fell onto a pile of tires while Barricade taunted Bumblebee about how Earth had made the Autobot soft and how their last encounter was just luck. Barricade easily swatted Bumblebee aside and went after Sam, but 'Bee managed to pull himself out of the scrap and assaulted Barricade once more. Barricade had the upper hand, so Sam helped by operating a crane. However, he had trouble controlling the vehicle, and Barricade snapped the chain-hook off and tossed the crane aside before charging at the crane's occupant again. Bumblebee then used the abandoned chain-hook to knock Barricade into a pool of gasoline. He sent Sam off to a safer distance and fired his cannon at the gasoline-soaked Decepticon menace, causing a massive explosion. Bumblebee survived the explosion, and Sam was happy to see him okay. He then asked what had happened to Barricade, and Bumblebee responded that they probably hadn't seen the last of the Decepticon. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 1|Tales of the Fallen #1}}<br />

Sam and Mikaela later broke up, making him somewhat "testy". {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} He was also invited to dinner at the [[White House]], having saved the world twice, where he met [[Carly Spencer]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}} {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}<br />

While hanging out together on the open road, Sam and Bumblebee came under attack from Starscream. Bumblebee ejected Sam out of his car mode as he transformed to keep him out of harm's way while duking it out with the Decepticon.

Sam was enjoying a picnic with Arcee and Bumblebee when they detected an energy signature emanating from a nearby cave. Investigating, the trio was ambushed by [[Space Case (DOTM)|Space Case]]. As the two Autobots faced off against the Decepticon, Sam warned Bumblebee to not use his missiles, as they might bring the whole cave down on their heads. This only served to give Space Case an idea though, and the Decepticon brought down the cave's ceiling on Sam, Bumblebee and Arcee. Bumblebee shielded Sam from bodily harm, but Space Case got away. {{storylink|Transformers: Space Case}} Buried under rubble, Bumblebee was strained to hold up a boulder from smashing down onto Sam as their oxygen slowly began to run out. Sam talked to Bumblebee to keep himself optimistic about their situation, but Bumblebee couldn't even respond, as the rocks were cutting him off from Earth's radio transmissions. Digging deep for inner strength, Bumblebee managed to muscle them out of their prison as Sam was beginning to choke for lack of fresh air. Outside, they found Ratchet, who had already rescued Arcee, and had been digging for them from the outside of the cave-in. Sam thanked Bumblebee for always being his friend when he needed him to be. {{storylink|Transformers: Bumblebee}}<br />

Annoyed, he pointed out he'd done his part and just wanted to be left alone, but the twins pushed him into taking a ride in Skids. They explained they'd been framed for a crime they didn't commit, they had vital intelligence of a secret Decepticon army, and they wanted Sam to inform Optimus because Prime trusted him. Sam, being a smart kid, didn't think much of wild stories by two strangers who'd abducted him and said he'd ''think'' about it. When Bumblebee turned up and the twins accelerated, he stopped thinking and starting banging on Skids window in a desire to GTFO.<br />

Luckily, Skids spat him out. Unluckily, he then saw Bumblebee get gunned down by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], who'd come to recruit the twins. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}}<br />

Bumblebee and Wheelie began to argue on how to defeat the Decepticon, forcing Sam and Mikaela to run for their lives as Starscream came gunning for them. Thankfully, Optimus showed up and knocked Starscream out with one punch. Optimus then chastised the other two Autobots for allowing their feelings get in the way of their mission to protect the humans. But Wheelie and Bumblebee were too stubborn to apologize to one another, and continued fuming despite Sam and Mikaela's attempt at having them reconcile. Optimus suggested the two teenagers allow Bumblebee and Wheelie some time to simmer down. But then Starscream regained consciousness and resumed his attack. Optimus took over protecting Sam and Mikaela and ordered his subordinates to take care of Starscream together.

=====Autobot campaign=====<br />
Bumblebee was listening in on the Witwicky family's conversations and discovered Sam's father had promised to buy him a car the next day. When Sam arrived at the used car lot, he felt as though the Camaro was calling to him and convinced his father to buy it. Later, Sam and Mikaela were leaving school when they were attacked by Barricade. Sam was surprised when his car arrived and turned into a robot, and he and Mikaela fled at Bumblebee's prompting. Once Barricade was defeated, Sam thanked Bumblebee for saving him, then witnessed four other Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, arrive in Tranquility. Sam nervously introduced himself, and Optimus said they needed his help. Sam was surprised to learn his great-grandfather's glasses contained the location to the Allspark, and he went to go retrieve them with Mikaela, only for them and Bumblebee to be captured by Sector 7.<br />
<br />
Bumblebee's interference at the Sector 7 base inside Hoover Dam also allowed the two humans to be set free, and they escaped the dam with the Allspark as Megatron began unfreezing. Reaching Mission City, Sam and Mikaela were forced to flee as Barricade returned. Once Bumblebee finally finished the Decepticon, Sam noted how insane the situation was. At that moment, Megatron arrived, and Sam and Mikaela fled once again. Megatron discovered them hiding in a building, but Optimus arrived and apparently killed Megatron. As Sam prepared to hand the Allspark over to Optimus, Megatron charged, and a shocked Sam dropped the Allspark, which Optimus used to end the Decepticon leader's life.<br />

Sam and Mikaela were innocently walking down the street when Barricade arrived and attacked. Luckily, Bumblebee came to the rescue, and the two humans got in and drove off.

Once Barricade left, Sam and Mikaela were surrounded by Sector 7 vehicles.<br />

Later, during the Battle of Mission City, Scorponok threatened Sam, who was prepared to hand over the Allspark, but Ironhide arrived and told them to flee. However, after Ironhide and Jazz were killed in the battle, he and Mikaela went to report this to Optimus. Sam then witnessed the battle between Optimus and Megatron, the latter of whom tracked Sam all across the city until Optimus was killed. Sam dropped the Allspark as he looked solemnly at Optimus's remains, and Megatron used the Allspark to achieve ultimate power.

=====Autobot campaign=====<br />
The Autobots did their best to keep Sam out of the increasingly intense war with the Decepticons, reassigning Bumblebee to rejoin Optimus Prime's unit. Unfortunately, the Decepticons led by Grindor kidnapped him, intent on extracting information from his brain (no doubt in a most unpleasant and final manner). Fortunately for Sam, a force of Autobots arrived to rescue him. Sam managed to warn them of Grindor's presence before being escorted to safety.<br />
<br />
Following this, Sam was escorted by the Autobots to an unassuming deli, where former Sector Seven agent Simmons now worked. From there, he led the Autobots to the conveniently close-by museum, where he managed to awaken the ancient Transformer Jetfire while the Autobots held off a Decepticon assault outside. Jetfire teleported them to Egypt, where Sam explored a mysterious tomb while Optimus Prime personally battled Megatron and Starscream. Despite Jetfire's death in battle, the Autobots managed to drive off the Decepticons. During the final battle against the Fallen, Sam's only contribution was to beg Optimus not to lose.<br />
<br />
He tended to start babbling when panicked, and there were times when the Autobots must have surely wanted him to shut up. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Revenge of the Fallen}}<br />

At first, the human germ was of no further interest to Starscream and his Decepticon forces. However, upon discovering his fellow human Mikaela possessed an Allspark shard, the Decepticons first kidnapped her to seize the shard and then visited his college town. After they tore their way through a unit of Autobots sent to stop them, Starscream managed to capture the boy, despite his protests. <br />

<br />
: This ''Screen Battles'' pack features a largely unchanged Deluxe class [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#First Encounter|Barricade]] figure, but the Frenzy accessory has been cast in black plastic to better blend in with Barricade's chest. The pack also comes with unposable figurines of Sam Witwicky in a running pose, Frenzy menacing Sam, and [[Mikaela Banes#First Encounter|Mikaela Banes]] holding the power saw she uses to attack [[Frenzy (Movie)#First Encounter|Frenzy]]. The set is packaged in a special window box with a diorama depicting the battle between Barricade and Bumblebee.<br />

:The first human partner in the ''[[Human Alliance]]'' subset of the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline]], Sam is an articulated 2.5-inch-tall action figure designed to work with the larger-scale, all-new [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Human Alliance|Bumblebee figure]] and other Human Alliance-scale Transformers. He can sit inside Bumblebee's vehicle interior, ride in special seats mounted on Bumblebee's arms, or stand on his shoulder behind his head, with each location having a different weapon for Sam or any other Human Alliance human character figure to use. He's a bit out of [[scale]] with the Bumblebee and the other Human Alliance figures, being slightly undersized.<br />

==Notes==<br />
* According to Roberto Orci, Sam was not given the nickname "[[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]]", nor [[Ron Witwicky|his father]] the nickname "[[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]]" <!---(though [[Judy Witwicky|his wife]] does refer to him as "Spark")--> because, unlike their Generation 1 counterparts, the movie characters are not [[oil rig]] workers or mechanics. Earlier drafts of the script did have Sam earning the nickname "Spike" another way, but this was dropped before the script was finalized.<ref>[http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=350123&amp;postcount=4134 Roberto Orci on Paramount's official ''Transformers'' movie forum] explaining why the names Spike and Sparkplug weren't used in the movie.</ref> Regardless, in the Latin American dub of ''Transformers'', Sam appears credited under the name of Sam "Spike" Witwicky.<br />
* Sam's [[eBay]] user name, "LadiesMan217", is a reference to movie director [[Michael Bay]]'s birthday, [[February 17]]. [http://myworld.ebay.com/ladiesman217/ ladiesman217] is a registered user on eBay.<br />
* In the Japanese dub of the film, Sam's eBay username is changed from "LadiesMan217" to "[[Playboy|playboy217]]", since "ladies' man" isn't a term the Japanese are familiar with. To better suit this joke in the Spanish version, his username is "{{w|Don Juan|DonJuan217}}", named after the famed Spanish womanizer. Likewise, in the French dub, his username is "LeTombeur217", a reference to the 1958 French film involving a young man getting engaged to two women at the same time. In the IDW [[Transformers: Movie Adaptation|comics adaptation]], his [[eBay|ePay]] username is "hotstud217". This is even more disturbing.<br />
* According to screenwriter [[Roberto Orci]], he and writing partner [[Alex Kurtzman]] pitched the character of Sam as "[[Marty McFly]] on crack".<ref>[http://www.donmurphy.net/board/showpost.php?p=1119191&amp;postcount=1921 Roberto Orci on Don Murphy's forum] responding to criticisms of the human characters.</ref><br />

[[File:CyberverseStarscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Good afternoon, ma'am! Have you heard the good news about our lord and savior, me?]]<br />
Leader of the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]]s and [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]'s [[second-in-command]],<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/cyberverse Character bios] at the official ''Cyberverse'' website</ref> '''Starscream''' is the kind of guy who'd sell you out to Megatron in a heartbeat, then sell ''Megatron'' out to whoever offers him more power. He's not a very loyal sort, and often comes at odds with the heroic and loyal [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]]—both traits Starscream despises.<br />
<br />
Lack of loyalty isn't his only flaw: Starscream himself has earned Megatron's scorn for his cowardice and incompetence over the eons, and neither [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] nor [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] have much respect for him. Just about the only things he has going for him are his skills as a flier, and the leadership of the Seekers. Strangely enough, despite Starscream's own lack of loyalty, he somehow has the complete loyalty of his Seekers. <br />
<br />
So complete that one wonders if they had to choose, would they follow Starscream or Megatron? <br />

[[File:Starscream - Cyberverse - Megatron Is My Hero promo.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Excitement? Amusement? Fear? [[Dull surprise]]?]]<br />
Before the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Starscream took the newly arrived [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] to a [[Cube (sport)|Cube]] game where he flaunted his upper-class credentials by mocking the plebs and having [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] be kicked out of the stadium. Attempting to spice up the game, Starscream made his way to the Cubes and reprogrammed the AI in one of them to cause chaos only for Bumblebee and Windblade to foil his plot. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}}<br />
<br />
Starscream later attended the rally where Megatron unveiled the [[Decepticon]] faction and emblem. Soon enough however, the movement had gone from civil disagreements to open revolution with Starscream derisively greeting [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] when the "file clerk" tried to deter Megatron's ambitions. Later in the war, Megatron conspired to use [[Vector Sigma]] to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a new generation of loyal Decepticons. When the Autobots got wind up of this plot, {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} they stole the AllSpark and launched it through a [[space bridge]] despite the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seekers]]' best efforts to retrieve the artifact. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Cyberverse - Matrix of Leadership - Sleek Screamy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Seekers, the scavenger hunt will proceed-]]<br />
As Cybertron's condition deteriorated due to the loss of the AllSpark, Starscream led [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]], and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]] to the [[Grand Imperium]] where the trio attempted to slay Optimus Prime only to be bested and forced to retreat. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}<br />
<br />
Some 66 million years later, the AllSpark had been tracked to the distant world of [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Fractured}} Starscream sent [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] to scout the planet and locate the artifact while he rallied the [[Decepticon fleet]]. {{storylink|Siloed}} {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}<br />
<br />
Once the scouting team had made planetfall, Starscream contacted their [[Decepticon scout ship|shuttle]] for a status report only for the [[Autobot]] Bumblebee to answer his call instead. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}} Much to his ire, this would not prove an isolated occurrence and he swore to demote Slipstream as far he could when he came to Earth. {{storylink|Siloed}}<br />
<br />
With his fleet, Starscream entered the [[Solar System|Sol system]] only to find [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] had beaten him there. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}} After the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']] crew had been awoken, Starscream's fleet arrived to back up the Decepticons and invade the planet. {{storylink|Eruption}}<br />
<br />
Months of Earth-bound battles eventually resulted in the [[human]]s becoming aware of the [[Transformer]]s. When Megatron opted to simply destroy the Earth, he had Shockwave construct a [[Planet Smasher]] on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]], its complex coming under attack from the Autobots. Starscream led his Seekers into battle, engaging Windblade in a dogfight before he was chomped on by [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]]. As the Seekers fled to the safety of the Planet Smasher, Megatron radioed Starscream for air support, an order that the Seeker chose to ignore and instead ordered the [[force field]] raised, intending to leave Megatron at the mercy of the Autobots. Unfortunately, Megatron had managed to extradite himself from the danger and had made it to the forcefield. Furious, the warlord threw Starscream around before demoting him, making Slipstream the new leader of the Seekers. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}}<br />
[[File:Cyberverse-s2e2 Starscream's victory.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Vote for me and I promise you'll all get new toys! Yes, even you, [[Red Wing]]!]] <br />
<br />
As Starscream seethed over this, the Autobots destroyed the Planet Smasher, prompting the Decepticons to retreat underground and enact their backup plan of using [[planetary engine]]s to smash the moon into the Earth. When Megatron's injured leg caused him to stumble, a maddened Starscream leapt on the opportunity, kicking his master to the floor and bombarding him with a [[missile]] swarm before beating him senseless. Considering Megatron deceased, Starscream declared himself the new [[Decepticon leader]] only for his confidence to flounder when the Autobots neared the control room. After Shockwave had primed the control room to self-destruct, Starscream ordered his troops back to the [[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|''Nemesis'']] with Megatron left behind. Back on the flagship, an exceptionally smug Starscream kicked Soundwave off the command throne, before ordering the ''Nemesis'' to take off. As the warship rose, Autobot sabotage caused the planetary engines to begin reversing. Before Starscream could issue a command, a furious Megatron entered the bridge and began silently and relentlessly pummelling Starscream across the ship, even as the Seeker begged for mercy. As Megatron prepared to execute Starscream, he ran for the bay doors only for the full force of Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] to strike him in the back, seemingly deactivating him. Contemptuously, Megatron threw Starscream's body onto the moon's surface as the ''Nemesis'' left. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}<br />
<br />
Despite Megatron's assault, Starscream barely clung to life. Fatally wounded, he awoke on the moon's surface under the gaze of [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]]. Witnessing the bestial Cybertronian run through a [[GroundBridge]], Starscream followed, the portal's AllSpark energies healing his wounds. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Reaching out to his Seekers, Starscream rallied them to him and had them procure [[Vector Sigma]]. As a propaganda move, Megatron made a video directed at the people of Earth that claimed that Starscream tragically lost his life at the hands of the Autobots. As soon as the broadcast was over, however, he immediately warned the other Decepticons to take Starscream's fate as a reminder of the price of failure. He then issued a challenge to them: anyone who succeeded in bringing him the head of Optimus Prime would take Starscream's place as his second-in-command. {{storylink|Bring Me The Spark Of Optimus Prime}}<br />
<br />
When Optimus and Megatron were fighting over the AllSpark in new [[spark armor]], Starscream took the opportunity to steal the AllSpark and escape through another GroundBridge. {{storylink|Trials}} Starscream's brush with death had left him insane, believing he had come back from the AllSpark with the purpose of creating a new era of peace by returning all other Transformers to it. To facilitate this, he used the AllSpark to give himself his own spark armor while tasking [[Acid Storm (Cyberverse)|Acid Storm]] with programming Vector Sigma to command the AllSpark and have it create an army of [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Dark Birth}}<br />
[[File:Starscream and Scraplets.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Starscream shows off his homemade [[Sunstorm (disambiguation)|Sunstorm]] cosplay.]]<br />
<br />
Believing these new beings housed the sparks of ancient Transformers reclaimed from the AllSpark, Starscream plotted to use his new "children" to further his plans. Though he attempted to convince Slipstream to join him, she fled to warn the Autobots and Decepticons of his intentions, managing to reveal his location to Windblade before being killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]]. {{storylink|Parley}} Anticipating the Autobots' arrival, Starscream abandoned his temporary base and led his Scraplets in an attack on the ''Nemesis'', draining the energon from the Decepticons. Megatron managed to send out an SOS, prompting Optimus and a team of Autobots to investigate. Optimus and Windblade eventually found Starscream waiting for them on the bridge, where he ordered his Scraplets to attack and drained their energon, preparing to take the Matrix of Leadership from Optimus. His attempt was interrupted by Cheetor's arrival, who fought Starscream and extracted the AllSpark from his armor, using it to restore everyone and disable the Scraplets. His armor now destroyed, Starscream swore vengeance before making a hasty retreat with the AllSpark in tow. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}<br />
<br />
Starscream’s next scheme would involve him kidnapping Cheetor and Bumblebee, which he did by sending his seekers to pursue them. While it seemed as though Cheetor and Bumblebee escaped through the [[Groundbridge Nexus]], they were unexpectedly attacked and paralyzed by Acid Storm, who took them back to Starscream’s new lair. After they had awoken only to be surrounded by more Scraplets, Starscream explained how he shared much in common with Cheetor, with the knowledge that the AllSpark gave the young guardian it’s power, he planned to forcibly merge Cheetor’s Spark with his own, but first opted to give his captive a demonstration as he had Bumblebee strapped to a table that was part of the device, and attempted to merge the scout’s Spark with one of his Scraplets, but his plan was ultimately foiled after Cheetor used some Energon as a distraction for the other Scraplets, and broke Bumblebee free of his bonds, ceasing the merging process, and the two escaped, leaving Starscream to continue scheming. {{storylink|Spotted}} <br />
<br />
The Decepticon would then hasten his plans further with the timely arrival of both [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] and [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]], and approached both of the warriors with the promise of defeating one another. Giving them Spark Armor, he assured each of them individually that the other didn’t have anything like their Spark Armor, and revealed to Acid Storm that he planned to have them destroy each other, and possibly both the Autobots and Decepticons. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Cyberverse-IAmTheAllspark-StarscreamsNewPower.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Transform and Roll Out|"IT'S MORE POWERFUL THAN I EVER IMAGINED!"]]]]<br />
Acid Storm eventually finished the reprogramming of Vector Sigma, allowing Starscream to absorb it and increase his power. As a reward for his Seekers' loyalty, he extracted all of their sparks. When he returned to the GroundBridge Nexus, he found all the Autobots and Decepticons already there and, after some verbal jousting with Megatron, prepared to extract their sparks only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix, its energy blasting the AllSpark out of Starscream and knocking him into stasis. Knowing that Optimus would want the Seeker to face a trial, Bumblebee dragged the unconscious Starscream back to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}<br />
<br />
Guarded by [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]] and [[Rack'n'Ruin (Cyberverse)|Rack'n'Ruin]], Starscream attempted to unleash his AllSpark power upon reawakening, only to realize he no longer had it after Rack'n'Ruin mocked him for it. He didn't like this one bit. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}} Later, he attempted to have the Autobots destroy each other by sabotaging one of the [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack's]] new AllSpark emitters. However, his plan was foiled when Optimus Prime destroyed the device connecting the emitters. {{storylink|Party Down}}<br />
<br />
Managing to dupe Teletraan-X into giving him enough space to escape, Starscream made it out of the ''Ark'' but soon became a tag-along to the Titan [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]], screaming as he left for parts unknown. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}<br />
<br />
After Croaton had flown through a storm and dangerously close to a sun, he happened upon a [[Quintesson]] Cruiser, both Cybertronians being taken prisoner. Brought by the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]] before a [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]], Starscream's ego quickly won him the death sentence before he, in a panic, sold out his species and the AllSpark by pointing the aliens towards Cybertron. Pleased with his gift, the Judge sent Starscream to the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]] so he could be rewarded by becoming part of the new Judge alongside a [[Gray]] and a [[Velgrox]]. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}}<br />
<br />
To fuel Starscream's metamorphosis, the Quintessons began draining the energon of both the Cybertronian race and the AllSpark once they conquered the metallic planet. {{storylink|The Scientist}} Working together, the Autobots and Decepticons managed to destroy the Quintesson ship whereupon Starscream made his dramatic return, declaring his race to be guilty. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}} Using his newfound powers on his foes, Judge Starscream prolonged the Transformers' trial, wanting both Optimus Prime and Megatron present so they could stand trial for all their wrongdoings towards him. He also repainted the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutor]]s and Sharkticons in his colors. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}}<br />
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU I JudgeStarscream.jpg|230px|thumb|right|He's ahead of the curve.]]<br />
<br />
Holding the assembled members of his species prisoner, Judge Starscream ranted to them about the injustices that they had inflicted on him over the course of his life before he demanded Prime and Megatron's locations. As one, the Cybertronians gave him contradictory information prompting him to take [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] as a hostage, threatening to kill her. Before he could make good on this, Windblade awoke the War Titan [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}}<br />
<br />
Though Judge Starscream panicked, the Scientist calmly called in the brainwashed Croaton to deal with Iaconus, even if the War Titan proved able to punt Starscream across the horizon. When he returned to the battlefield, Croaton was on the verge of defeat, forcing Starscream to kill Iaconus by dumping some [[unspace]] matter on his head. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}}<br />

Ordering Coraton to annihilate [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] and every Transformer in it, Judge Starscream finally found Optimus Prime. Before he could pass his judgment on the Prime, Megatron returned aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]], attacking Starscream with exotic energy manipulation abilities that he had gained while in another reality. After Croaton left the battlefield, his mind freed by Windblade, Judge Starscream attempted to attack Astrotrain personally before both Prime and Megatron, having stolen one from [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|another universe]], unleashed the power of two Matrices of Leadership on the rogue Seeker, overwhelming him and bringing his reign of terror to an end. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}<br />

Starscream's head, as depicted from his time as a Quintesson Judge, was eventually recovered at some point following the downfall of the Quintessons by [[Meteorfire (Cyberverse)|Meteorfire]] and stored among his alien memorabilia. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}<br />

In [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron X]]'s reality, after the tyrant fatally wounded Optimus Prime when his once friend refused to join the Decepticons, Starscream restrained Bumblebee alongside Shadow Striker. However, he was later executed by Megatron X, who claimed he outlived his usefulness after easily winning the Great War. {{storylink|The Other One}} <br />

*'''Starscream''' (Tiny Turbo Changer, 2019)<br />
**''Series'': '''1'''<br />
**''Bag code'': '''K'''<br />
: Part of the first Series of ''Cyberverse'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Starscream is a soft-plastic robot who transforms into a tiny fighter jet.<br />

*'''Starscream''' (Scout Class, 2018)<br />
**''Action Attack'': "Wing Slice"<br />
:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Scout Class Starscream is roughly the size of a Legends Class figure that converts from robot to <s>Gerwalk mode</s> jet with limbs (Also known as a "transformational mode") and back. His wings swing around in a spring-loaded "Wing Slice" attack attached to his waist, which can be locked in using the landing gear. In transformational mode, Starscream can fold his legs up to approximate a more "complete" jet mode.<br />
:The figure was later redecoed into [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)#Toys|Slipstream]].<br />

:''Cyberverse'' 1-Step Changers Starscream is an all-new mold, transforming from jet to robot by flipping the nosecone backwards. Due to some kind of distribution issue, this Starscream wound up being incredibly rare. <br />

*'''Starscream''' (Warrior Class, 2018)<br />
**''Action Attack'': "Wing Slice"<br />
:Released as part of the first wave of ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class lineup, this Starscream is a Deluxe-sized figure that converts from robot to jet and back. His "Wing Slice" Action Attack gimmick is activated by winding up a spring in his waist and releasing the upper part of the figure, allowing it to spin and flip out its spring-loaded wing blades with centrifugal force. The underside of these panels, normally hidden, are painted over in bright pink with large silver Decepticon [[Insignia]]. The waist can be locked in place by pegging his landing gear onto a peg on his backside. Additionally, he has non-firing Null Ray blasters molded into his forearms with [[5 mm post]] hole hands.<br />
:While his arms have articulation comparable to other ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class toys, Starscream has the unusual distinction of having his hip swivels molded together, meaning the front-to-back movement is in tandem. He also lacks knees, likely due to his whole legs being cast from the same grey plastic. Despite this otherwise restricted movement, he can splay his legs out to the sides due to hinges on his hips, allowing splits and high kicks. Also unusual, the middle recess on his forehead is shown as unpainted in promotional images (including on the back of his box) and yellow in character art, but is painted in metallic blue on the actual toy. He lacks the red stripes on the inner wings on the final product as well.<br />
:This mold was redecoed into [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)#Warrior Class|Thundercracker]], [[Acid Storm (Cyberverse)#Warrior Class|Acid Storm]], and [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)#Warrior Class|Slipstream]].<br />

*'''Starscream''' (Warrior Class, 2020)<br />
**''Action Attack'': "Starseeker Missile"<br />
:This Warrior Class version of Starscream transforms into a Cybertronian jet that resembles the [[wikia:gradius:Vic Viper|Vic Viper T-301 from ''Gradius V'']]. His new Starseeker Missile Action Attack has his null rays (now fixed to his wings rather than his arms) flip up and forward. This Starscream has more show-accurate paint apps and proportions in robot mode than the last version, but only just. Differences include larger wings, transparent orange wing-mounted null rays, no outward movement in the arms, a more show accurate whitish plastic, darker blue paint and forearm plastic, painted hands, and separately jointed legs with ''knees'' of all things, plus many other features making him a different figure.<br />
:Due to his large wings extending so far above his head, he is packaged in a squatting position. His poor knees.<br />

**''Action Attack'': "Nova Seeker Missile"<br />
:This ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Starscream is a redeco of his Warrior Class "Cybertronian Mode" figure, using translucent plastics emulating a ghostly appearance. His action attack is renamed the "Nova Seeker Missile", and functions exactly the same as the last version of the mold.<br />
:Starscream was released exclusively at [[Target]] with fellow Seekers [[Skywarp (Cyberverse)|Skywarp]], [[Thrust (Cyberverse)|Thrust]], and [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]], all of whom were also redecoed from the same Starscream figure.

**''Spark Armor'': "Demolition Destroyer"<br />
:''Cyberverse'' Battle Class Starscream is a smaller (about the size of older Scout Class toys), less Action Attack-laden mold that transforms from robot to a fighter jet. He comes with the "[[Demolition Destroyer]]" bulldozer accessory that also splits into 4 parts to form his battle armor. He features very few paint applications, which is more evident than his larger Warrior class figure due to being uniformly cast in dark grey plastic. He also features more articulation that his previous toy, with ball joints in his shoulders and hips as well as elbow, knee, and waist joints. His bulldozer armor becomes a new helmet, leg armor, and a shovel weapon. His forearms also sport hexagonal, [[5 mm post]] compatible ports. His transformation scheme is similar to the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Thrilling_30|''Thrilling 30'']] and ''[[Starscream (G1)/toys#Authentics|''Authentics'']]'' figures.<br />

What he lacks in BAF pieces he more than makes up for with accessories- Starscream includes his null rays, two laser blast effect parts, and a relatively large "missile launching" effect piece meant to emulate his chest missiles from the cartoon.<br />

He features molded on Null-rays and includes a whip weapon that gives his jet mode a tail. Like his sub-line brethren, Starscream features a "Battle Call" voice-activated gimmick, wherein if you flip the on-switch on his shoulder and shout really loud at him (or just blow on his torso), the electronic light in his chest glows slightly brighter and sometimes flashes. Strangely, his head and hands are painted bronze.<br />

His hips are articulated and both his arms can be flung upwards at the same time by pressing an action feature button on the rear. Interestingly, he includes a decal sheet for his chest, wings and legs, making him the only one of the four Burger King Cyberverse toys to feature stickers.<br />

Similar to how most ''[[Kre-O]]'' figures work, Starscream must be disassembled and reassembled in order to change from one mode to the next.

==Notes==<br />
[[File:Judge-Starscream-Boulder-model.jpg|thumb|250px|All rise for the dishonorable Judge Mental.]]<br />
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Starscream's design is based on the [[Evergreen]] design also used for his [[Starscream (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks that, unlike almost every other version of Starscream in existence, make him look different from his Seeker comrades aside from paint jobs. However, this is not reflected on their toys, as all current toys of the Seekers are simple [[redeco]]s of Starscream's (save Ultra Class Slipstream).<br />
**Firstly, he has a unique head sculpt that is very different from the other default "male" and "female" heads the rest of the Seekers use. Secondly, his wings are wide with a zigzagging edge compared to the other Seekers' narrow wings with a sharp tip at the end. Lastly, he has forearm-mounted [[null-ray]]s whereas the other Seekers have their null-rays mounted on their upper arms.<br />
*Starscream's voice actor in the Japanese dub gives him the same mannerisms and histrionic personality as [[Starscream (WFC)|''Prime'' Starscream]] had in the Japanese dub of his respective show. <br />
*Starscream's death in "The End Of The Universe IV" hurt [[Mae Catt]] the most. She wanted Starscream to emerge from the remains of his Quintesson Judge body and conceived a redemption arc, though she is okay this got scrapped.<ref name="Q+A">"[https://shikai-the-storyteller.tumblr.com/post/613237429097365504/i-absolutely-didnt-go-back-through-and-edit-this Transformers: Cyberverse – Mae Catt Q&A Session (Unedited Edition)]"</ref><br />

<br />
An alternate dimension version of [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]], '''Megatron X''' (aka '''the Other One''') is different in many ways. Actually having the nerve to kill his version of [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and downright ''steal'' his [[Matrix of Leadership]], he did what his primary universe counterpart failed to do... but with more tyranny than the primary version ever employed.<br />
<br />
==Fiction==<br />
===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===<br />
{{voiceactor|[[Marc Thompson]] (English)}}<br />
Eons ago, Megatron was a [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial champion]] on Cybertron, besting numerous powerful opponents, including [[Devastator Maximus]] whose [[brain module]] he crushed. {{storylink|Trials}} While Megatron's raw strength served him well in the gladiatorial pits, it was his charisma which netted him a large following of admirers from all flocks of life. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Among his followers was [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]], a file clerk who began to author Megatron's speeches to his following. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At a rally, Megatron dubbed his movement '[[Decepticon]]s', and swore to create a new Cybertron that would bring equal rights to all citizens. As his power base grew however, Megatron's personality took a darker turn, {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} eventually staging a fatal attack on the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}<br />
<br />
Following this, Optimus—now going by "Optimus Prime"—confronted Megatron and made a plea for his old friend to stand down from his aggression. With neither willing to compromise, Megatron realized that Optimus would forever oppose him and fired a point-blank round from his [[fusion cannon]], mortally wounding his once friend before ripping the [[Matrix of Leadership]] from the short-lived [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]'s chest. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} {{storylink|The Other One}}<br />
<br />
With the Matrix, Megatron declared a [[Great War (Cyberverse)|lightning war]] on the Autobots, wiping them out completely. Free of any resistance, he used the [[AllSpark]] to create a master race of [[Perfect Decepticon|perfectly obedient Decepticons]] before ridding himself of the "unneeded" Decepticons. When the [[Quintesson]]s arrived, Megatron quickly defeated them using a [[laser snare]] before salvaging their [[multiverse]] technology for his own ends. {{storylink|The Other One}}<br />
<br />
Megatron's universe was eventually visited by an alternate version of himself who managed to steal his Matrix of Leadership and flee back to his own universe, taking [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]] and the [[Insecticon (Cyberverse)|Insecticons]] with him. Megatron eventually managed to locate the universe where his Matrix was and sent his perfect troops as an advance guard. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}<br />
<br />
After his troops had been defeated, Megatron teleported into the other universe and quickly defeated his counterpart and reclaimed his Matrix. Before he could re-insert it into himself, however, [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] seized it and flew off. Though commending him for the effort, Megatron caught up to the scout at the Autobot/Decepticon border and reclaimed his prize before being confronted by Optimus, who engaged him in a duel of the Matrices. Though initially caught off-guard, Megatron soon gained the advantage. Unbeknownst to Megatron, his Matrix now held a psychic shard of [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]], her mind scattered following her rescue of [[Croaton]]. Guided by the ghost of his universe's Optimus, Windblade sabotaged Megatron's Matrix, short-circuiting him. The crippled Megatron was retrieved by Astrotrain, who promised to take him into the multiverse and keep him trapped within him as revenge for his cruelty. {{storylink|The Other One}}<br />

: A black redeco of the Series 1 ''Cyberverse'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]] Megatron, Megatron X changes from a stubby little tank to a robot in a few steps. Like many of his other-universe counterpart's toys, he features an "energon mace" molded in place of his left hand.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*To differentiate himself from the primary ''Cyberverse'' Megatron, X is almost half the height of Astrotrain and features a prominently darker color scheme while using his primary counterpart's Earth mode kibble. He shrinks over the course of his debut, becoming the same size as his primary counterpart by the time his Matrix is destroyed.<br />
*Megatron X's body is bears a resemblance to his replacement body in the IDW 2005 Continuity.<br />

[[File:Blitzwingg1.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|"Blitzwing has no feet. Blitzwing needs no feet!"]]<br />
The other Decepticons don't care much for '''Blitzwing'''. Oh, they can respect that he's an absolute terror on the battlefield, using his triple-changing ability to maximum effect. Few things are more destructive and demoralizing to an enemy force than a ''tank'' landing on your front line at Mach 2. Blitzwing changes forms rapidly in battle to keep his opponents off-balance at all times. And through it all, he's laughing like a madman, because frag it, it's just ''funny'' to him.<br />
<br />
What makes him such a pain to his teammates is that Blitzwing's sense of humor rivals even [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]'s for brainless thuggery. He's an unlikable, blustering, loudmouthed jerk to everyone. The Decepticons as a group may be an unpleasant bunch, but Blitzwing takes the cake, platter, and tablecloth, and has ground the table underfoot.<br />
<br />
In at least [[Blitzwing (Animated)|one universe]] though, components of Blitzwing's abrasive personality seem to be splitting and amplifying; sometimes his cold-sparked strategic side is forefront, other times he remains consumed with raging bloodlust, and others, he's just plain I-think-I'm-hilarious bat-scrap loco. You never know which of the three you're going to have to deal with at any given moment, as he will even change in mid-sentence... but all three outcomes are going to be unpleasant in some way. Thankfully for [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], the Decepticon berserker is easy to manipulate, given Blitzwing's unstable mind.<br />

Blitzwing appeared out of nowhere to join [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s forces on [[Earth]] in 1985, and was first seen on a mission to steal [[energon]] from [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]]. {{storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 1}} The [[Autobot]]s eventually arrived to halt their scheme, and Blitzwing got into a tank duel with [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]]. {{storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 2}} <br />
<br />
Later adventures of Blitzwing included joining Megatron and [[Shawn Berger]] in an attempt to exile the Autobots from Earth via bad publicity (it failed). {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2}} After that, he was seen suffering from [[cybertonium]] depletion just like everybody else, {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}} then fighting Warpath again and coating himself in [[electrum]]. {{storylink|The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon}}<br />
<br />
Blitzwing and a team of other Decepticons came searching for the [[robotic insecticide]] the Autobots had come up with, but when they came to the valley, they found it full of [[Morphobot]]s. After the Autobots arrived to pick up [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]], Megatron ordered [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]], and Blitzwing to attack. However, the Morphobots ended up incapacitating the Decepticons and slammed them on the ground. {{storylink|Quest for Survival}}<br />
<br />
For someone as powerful as he is, Blitzwing did not have the best track record when it comes to decision-making. First, he and fellow [[Triple Changer]] [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] decided to do away with both Megatron and [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] and strike out on their own in search of fame, fortune, and energon. While this would normally be considered suicidal, the two Triple Changers somehow pulled it off and were free to finally do whatever it took to wipe out those pesky Autobots once and for all.<br />
<br />
[[File:TripleTakeover Blitzwing coach.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|IMMA EAT CHOO!]]<br />
The way they chose to do this, however, did not do much to inspire confidence in their abilities. While his partner went off to play with some trains, Blitzwing's personal strategy for victory was to kidnap a [[football coach]] under the mistaken impression that the human was some kind of master strategist. Blitzwing brought the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] in on his plan, and used them to build a maze surrounding the entry to his base/stadium. To Blitzwing's credit, a lot of the Autobots crashed into each other (and required more extensive repairs once he got to them), but soon, the Constructicons demanded a share of the leadership, and then Astrotrain arrived. All three were beaten so quickly by Megatron that it was almost embarrassing, and Blitzwing crept carefully back to the [[Decepticon]] ranks, hoping that nobody would remember what had happened. {{storylink|Triple Takeover}}<br />
<br />
Not long afterwards, Megatron was impressed by [[Chumley|Lord Chumley]]'s Autobot-capturing skills, and sent Blitzwing and Astrotrain to negotiate a deal with the human. Shortly after arriving at Chumley's castle, Blitzwing got himself caught in a trap meant for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], and Chumley [[Chumley's arachnoid drones|captured]] both Triple Changers for getting in the way of his Autobot hunting. After all of his traps failed, Chumley released Blitzwing and Astrotrain as a last ditch attempt to capture Prime, but they just tried to stomp him to death before flying back home. {{storylink|Prime Target (episode)|Prime Target}}<br />
<br />
A [[Size changing|strangely-enormous Blitzwing]] served as transport when the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] captured Perceptor, who had created [[Corrostop|the cure]] for [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|a disease Megatron had picked up]]. Although Blitzwing was stalked by the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], a [[Lightning Bug]] attack from Dirge and Ramjet stalled them so Blitzwing could safely make it back to Decepticon headquarters. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}<br />
<br />
[[File:TFTM KupBlitzwing.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Viagra.]]<br />
Blitzwing was also present during [[Battle of Autobot City|the infamous assault]] on [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in 2005, where he was at the head of the first attack. Together with [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]], he battled [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] at [[Lookout Mountain]], a fight that did not go in his favour (Kup being surprisingly nimble for an old guy). Blitzwing is also shown participating in the general carnage at Autobot City a short time later, and is one of the several Decepticons who ran afoul of Optimus Prime. Unlike his less fortunate comrades, Blitzwing was able to avoid getting run over, and even managed to shoot back a little before Prime beat him, which is more than most Decepticons expect when facing Optimus Prime. In fact, Blitzwing made it through the entire battle more or less intact, which meant he got to ride all the way to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] without anyone trying to kick him out the back door when he wasn't looking. This is exactly what happened to Megatron, however, and Blitzwing's old desire for leadership blossomed back up as he joined in on the scuffle for leadership that followed. Ultimately Starscream was the winner, and Blitzwing attended his coronation as the new [[Decepticon leader]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}<br />
{{note|Blitzwing’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]."}}<br />
<br />
When the [[Quintesson]]s arrived on [[Chaar]] to bribe the [[Decepticon]] army with promises of [[energon]] and revenge, Blitzwing was the only one of his comrades to turn down their offers. He had met their kind before (or at least he thought they seemed familiar to him for [[Overcharge (G1)|''some'' reason]]) and did not trust them, though he could not remember why. Upon the triumphant return of [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]], Blitzwing was the only Decepticon left to greet him. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}}<br />
<br />
[[File:FFoD5 Blitzwings betrayal.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|It's the look of absolute shock on Galvatron's face that sells this.]]<br />
Later, during an assault on Cybertron, it was Blitzwing who discovered that the Quintessons were lying to Galvatron and plotting to destroy all Transformers (instead of just the Autobots, which Blitzwing had no problems with). He tried to report this to Galvatron, but when he could not convince the Decepticon leader, he turned to [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] for help. Together, Blitzwing and Rodimus were able to stop the [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]] commando team that had infiltrated Cybertron. Galvatron, unfortunately, suspected that Blitzwing was trying to betray the Decepticons and steal the "[[Decepticon Matrix|Decepticon Matrix of Leadership]]" for himself and threw the Quintessons' [[Large switch|nullifying switch]], deactivating Transformers galaxy-wide until [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] destroyed it. With the Quintessons' deception revealed, Galvatron attempted to renew hostilities with Rodimus, but Blitzwing drew his weapon and targeted Galvatron, stating that the battle was over for now. Seething, but seeing little alternative, Galvatron accepted and withdrew his forces from Cybertron, but banished Blitzwing from the Decepticon ranks forever. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}<br />
<br />
[[File:TVMagazineStarscreamsGhost1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]<br />
{{note|In the original script for ''[[Five Faces of Darkness]]'', after Blitzwing's banishment, Rodimus extended his offer to Blitzwing a second time, and in this instance, he did not accept, but did not ''refuse'' either, saying that he would think about it. The later episode, "[[Starscream's Ghost]]" was originally written to feature Blitzwing, but was later re-written to be about the newest Decepticon Triple Changer, [[Octane]], although there is no explanation offered for why Octane is friendly with the Autobots. It would seem that this would have originally been Blitzwing following up on Rodimus' offer. Blitzwing would reappear briefly in several crowd scenes, such as "[[Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee]]" and "[[The Ultimate Weapon]]", likely as the result of carelessness in production. Then again. Galvatron did forgive Scourge for [[Ghost in the Machine (G1)|his]] [[The Burden Hardest to Bear|antics]]. Plus, Galvatron is pretty insane.}}<br />

Blitzwing was originally an [[Overcharge (G1)|Overcharge]], the personal attendant of a [[Quintesson]] who led an invasion of the [[Legends World]]. There, he met the future version of himself, who dubbed the Overcharge "Blitzwing" and told him to forge his own destiny after hearing his past self's laments that he didn't know what to do without orders from his master, who abandoned him. After returning to the [[OG World|G1 World]], Blitzwing left the Quintessons and joined up with the [[Decepticon]]s on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 59|Bonus Edition Vol. 59}}<br />
<br />
=====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' manga=====<br />
In [[Arizona]], Blitzwing joined the rest of the Decepticons in an all-out assault on the Autobots. The attack was just a distraction, however, so that Soundwave could continue operations in [[Japan]] unopposed. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 2|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #2}}<br />
<br />
Later, Blitzwing, Starscream, and Megatron attacked the Japanese city of [[Yokohama]], causing destruction using Megatron's "Super Megatron Gun" form. Warpath stood against them, but Blitzwing simply charged onwards, crushing the [[Mini Vehicle]] under his tracks. The Decepticons were eventually vanquished when [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] used his aerial manueverability to trick Blitzwing and Starscream to crash into their leader, followed by all three getting a "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Prime]]-[[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Magnus]] Double Cross Kick" to their backs. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 4|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #4}}<br />
<br />
=====''The Battle of the Star Gate''=====<br />
Blitzwing was amongst the Decepticons who attacked the ''[[Trigger]]'' as it neared completion. They took it over easily, thanks in part to the human collaborator, [[Trov]]. One human, [[Makoto (Star Gate)|Makoto]], had been overlooked by the Decepticons however, and managed to pin down Blitzwing and the rest of the group under Megatron's command in the ''Trigger''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s rail room with a powerful electromagnetic field. Blitzwing was almost sent hurdling to the farthest side of the galaxy by the ''Trigger'', but a blast from Megatron's fusion cannon disabled the portal. Then the Autobots showed up, and the two factions began their battle aboard the space station. The Decepticons lost the fight and fled. {{storylink|First Contact (Star Gate)|First Contact}}<br />
<br />
Blitzwing helped Megatron and Starscream fight off a squad of Autobots who had stumbled upon the Decepticons’ latest Energon-gathering scheme. He was ordered to provide Astrotrain with cover fire as the Decepticon shuttle retreated with the Decepticons’ newly acquired supply of Energon cubes. {{storylink|Activation}}<br />
<br />
A duplicate of Starscream then showed up and swiped the entirety of the Energon cache, before disappearing with the other Starscream. Blitzwing was later amongst the Decepticons Megatron brought to the ''Trigger'' to confront the two Starscreams conspiring against the Decepticon leader. When Starscream combined himself with the ''Trigger'' to create a powerful new body for himself, Blitzwing had to contend with the volley of asteroids thrown towards both Autobots and Decepticons from Starscream's star gate. He was then almost sucked into a portal to a black hole when Starscream neared defeat, but was instead sent plummeting down to Earth when Optimus and Megatron worked together to defeat Starscream. {{storylink|The Battle of the Star Gate}}<br />

By the year [[2011]], it seems Blitzwing had been reprieved of his exile; he participated in an all-out Decepticon assault on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], and was seen chasing [[Sunstreaker (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Sunstreaker]] around the planet until he took cover and the Triple-Changer crashed into a wall. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} He later helped Astrotrain, Octane, and the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] fight the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] on Earth, but the Autobot team was really just distracting them so that [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Twincast]] could sneak into [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}} The three Triple Changers proceeded to help the Decepticon [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] steal the [[Sol 1]] satellite {{storylink|The Shadow Emperor, Scorponok}} and watch [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] reveal his [[transtector]]. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!!

<br />
In a rare occasion of being separated from Astrotrain and Octane, Blitzwing was set with patrolling [[Chaar]]'s perimeter and guard it from intruders. [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] and [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] sneaked past him easily, only for Blitzwing to return and reveal that it was a trap. He took Chromedome for a spin before throwing him to Scorponok, who punched both Autobots back into space. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}} Blitzwing and Astrotrain were present in the climactic battle against the Autobots in the Arctic, and fled into space when it seemed like the Earth was going to be destroyed. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}<br />

Along with his comrades in the [[2021]] battle between [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s Decepticons and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]'s Autobots, Blitzwing's body became infected with [[blackball]]s and his head had to be converted into a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] to survive. Integrating himself into the society of the [[Legends World]] like the other black ball victims, Blitzwing was walking out after a night with [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] at [[Hardhead's]] when he remembered the Quintesson invasion of the Legends World that he was part of. Attacking the Quintesson overseer for once being a slave to their whims, the diminutive Headmaster was easily tossed aside by the nearby Overcharge. Lamenting that he didn't have the perfect strategist, he was soon met by [[Big Convoy|Big Fight]], who offered to think for the soldier in battle. (He wasn't all that cracked up to be, only advising Blitzwing to take control of his own destiny.) Managing to turn a downed Overcharge into a [[transtector]], Blitzwing flew into battle and took down the Overcharge protecting the Quintesson. However, when the Quintesson escaped and the Overcharge panicked that he didn't know how to act on his own, Blitzwing realized it was him from the past and told him to forge his own path, giving him his name: "Blitzwing". After witnessing the invaders leave back to their home universe and saying his goodbyes to Big Fight, Blitzwing was back to boring Astrotrain with his stories at Hardhead's. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 59|Bonus Edition Vol. 59}} {{storylink|LG59 Blitzwing Prologue: Big-sensei|To Fight with...}}<br />

Blitzwing was among the "Legendary Decepticons" who appeared out of nowhere to challenge [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]] and the Autobots on Earth.

Blitzwing was one of the many warriors who retreated from Autobot City after Optimus Prime turned the tide, and was shocked when Starscream revealed that Megatron hadn't made it out.

[[File:Ten deadliest killers target 2006.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8]]<br />
''Blitzwing was one of the [[Ten Deadliest Killers|most feared and deadly killers]] on Cybertron, and a specific target in [[Operation: Volcano]]. He'd have been killed in a [[Wrecker]]s ambush at the [[Imperial Amphitheatre]] if [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] hadn't abruptly called most of the gang to Earth.'' {{storylink|Target: 2006}}<br />
<br />
''Some time later, Megatron was teleported to Cybertron alongside [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]. [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]], Blitzwing's commanding officer, came to see Megatron as a liability and sought to take control of his more powerful body. Blitzwing witnessed the mind-swapping process, unaware that it had gone awry upon its completion, leaving both Megatron and Straxus trapped within the same frame.'' {{storylink|Resurrection!}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Blitzwingg1mvl.jpg|thumb|Dern rickets!]]<br />
Blitzwing, [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] and [[Octane]] were commissioned by [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] to investigate the loss of his [[Wash and Roll|priceless cargo]] that had arrived on [[Earth]] via a low-cost freighter, but hadn't checked in as scheduled. Upon making contact with the [[Freighter pilot|crashed ship's pilot]], Blitzwing and his companions were infected with [[Scraplet]]s, and began to slowly waste away. The Autobots [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]] came upon the site as well, and the Decepticons reveled at the chance at some destructive fun before their demise. Though Goldbug escaped, Blitzwing, Astrotrain, and Octane cornered Blaster {{storylink|Crater Critters}} and took him prisoner. The trio then made contact with Ratbat, and urged him to send a cure to their affliction. Instead, Ratbat decided to cut his losses and sent over the [[Throttlebot]]s, armed with canisters of acid, to put a permanent and immediate end to the infection. Upon seeing the Autobots approaching, Blitzwing tried to attack them, only to find he was already too weak to do anything more than sit tight and wait for the inevitable. This never came to pass though, as Blaster's friends returned with a strange and wondrous chemical that acted as a cure for the deadly disease: [[water]]. Though Blaster, who had himself gotten infected in the interim, refused to be saved if it meant also sparing the life of his captors, Goldbug's hand was forced against his fellow Autobot's wishes when thousands of Scraplets combined into a monster; the Decepticons were the only ones present with enough firepower to stop it. After being doused in water, the Decepticons made short work of the remaining Scraplets, then quickly took off hauling Ratbat's cargo. {{storylink|The Cure!}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Long haul blitzwing toy soldiers.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.6|Don't be a weenie, Blitzwing. Astrotrain can carry all six of the Constructicons, plus their combined form.]]<br />
After delivering the [[Wash and Roll|cargo]] to its intended destination, the Triple Changers linked up with [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]'s Decepticons on Earth, {{storylink|Buster Witwicky and the Car Wash of Doom}} operating out of their [[Club Con|tropical island starship]]. At that time, the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] had left Earth, allowing the other Decepticons to launch increasingly brazen raids; Blitzwing helped the Constructicons swipe a stockpile of girders by having them load up Long Haul with as many as he could carry, then Blitzwing carried him off to their base. {{storylink|Toy Soldiers!}} ''On Shockwave's orders, he went up on a mission to [[London]] alongside [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]], [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] and [[Overbite (G1)|Overbite]] to retrieve the remains of [[Straxus (G1)|Megatron]] from the bottom of the [[Thames|River Thames]].'' {{storylink|Salvage!}} He was later part of a major offensive against the Autobots on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]], when the crews of the Ark and ''[[Steelhaven (G1)|Steelhaven]]'' all gathered together as one big target. Blitzwing's fortunes changed, however, when he came [[sword]]-to-sword with [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] — it seems the [[Energo weapon|energo-sword]] is mightier than the [[electron scimitar]]. Blitzwing was left in two pieces on the lunar landscape, and one can only assume his fellow Decepticons collected his pieces before fleeing. {{storylink|Totaled!}} He returned to the Decepticon island base as it was made over into a resort for human (shields). {{storylink|The Flames of Boltax!}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Blitzwing horri-bull cold war.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9|Blitzwing doesn't take any bull.]]<br />
Still smarting from his last fight, Blitzwing eagerly rushed into battle when an invasion alert sounded within the Decepticon base. This proved to be a false alarm, as the visitors were another group of Decepticons led by [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]. Blitzwing wound up fighting against them nonetheless, as Starscream manipulated the two Decepticon groups into fighting one another, culminating in a [[Decepticon Civil War]] between them. Turnabout is fair play, as this time it was Blitzwing who cut an opponent in two, slicing through [[Horri-Bull]]'s midsection. {{storylink|Cold War!}} The infighting came to an end when the Decepticons learned that it had been orchestrated by Starscream in a bid to obtain the power of the legendary [[Underbase]] for himself. They returned to Ratbat's headquarters to tend to their wounds, though the reprieve turned out to be a short one; a large group of Autobots was detected inbound. This too turned out to be a distraction put together by [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]], and both factions united in order to stop the treacherous Seeker. Despite the Autobot/Decepticon alliance's best efforts, Starscream was able to absorb enough power to make himself virtually unstoppable. Blitzwing was part of a squad stationed in [[Buenos Aires]] in an effort to stop Starscream's rampage across the globe. He was destroyed, along with the other Decepticon Triple Changers, by a blast of cosmic energy. {{storylink|Dark Star}}<br />

Blitzwing was loyal to Shockwave during the split in the Decepticon faction, a precursor to his [[Dreamwave Generation One continuity|later career moves]]. At the [[Enclave]] between Megatron and Shockwave's troops, Blitzwing was seen talking to a Stunticon, and was later present during the huge melee initiated by the Autobots. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}} Later, having received insider information from a traitor in Megatron's camp, he joined Shockwave and the other Triple Changers in stealing an energon shipment right out from under Megatron himself, tossing the other Decepticon leader off a cliff in the process. {{storylink|Secrets (G1)|Secrets}} He was present at Shockwave's base when the Insecticons tried to infiltrate it at Megatron's command. {{storylink|Bugged!}}<br />

After the Decepticon factions reunited, they staged a major strike on the Autobot [[Earthbase]]. Blitzwing joined [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] and Octane in an airstrike on the Autobot compound, but they were eventually driven off. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}} Later, he and Astrotrain received an SOS from their fellow Triple Changer, Octane, who had somehow driven himself into the middle of a military testing range. While fending off the live ammunition that threatened to set off their tanker truck comrade, Blitzwing demanded to know how this could have happened. Octane finally relented and told his fellow Decepticons that he had been "playing" again, attacking human vehicles for sport, when [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|one of them]] led him on a merry chase right into his current predicament. Infuriated by the idiot's antics, Blitzwing and Astrotrain left him to his fate in the combat zone. {{storylink|Manoeuvres!}}<br />

He rushed towards [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]], only to be met with heavy artillery in his advance. {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}} Somehow he survived that terrifying encounter, and was present at the second major Decepticon offensive of 2008, acting as one of [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s sub-commanders to ready his "team" for combat. Things turned ugly, however, when the [[Quintesson]] [[Trident Attack Craft]]s ambushed the Decepticon on their way to Autobase.

Using these "Ex-bots," Megatron managed to achieve near-total control over the Earth. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 3}}<br />
<br />
Blitzwing and a sizeable portion of Megatron's legion were deployed in [[California]] to track down any survivors after Megatron had shot down the [[Wrecker]]s' ship. Blitzwing got to ride on the back of Megatron's [[battle sled]]. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 2}} After [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]] was captured and infected with [[Scraplet]]s, Megatron left the old 'bot in the open as bait. The Wreckers willingly walked into the trap to keep Megatron distracted from some of their allies making a play for the Ark, and Blitzwing entered a dogfight with [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] upon his approach. Though Whirl managed to get a few good shots on Blitzwing, the latter couldn't feel pain in his undead state and kept coming, much to his opponent's frustration. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 4}} Blitzwing and the other zombified Cybertronians were off-lined permanently once [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Regeneration One|Circuit Smasher]] frizzle-fried the Ark's computer, [[Aunty|Auntie]]. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 5}} After Megatron's defeat, all of the deactivated zombies were piled into a large pit by the Autobots and obliterated from orbit. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}}<br />

[[File:BattledriveBumblebeevsBlitzwingStarscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]<br />
Starscream and Blitzwing had been instructed by Megatron to wreak havoc and destroy the humans' wheat and corn farmland. They were meant to let the Autobots overhear that the Decepticons were planning to force the humans into starvation if they did not become Decepticon slaves, their true plan was a much more practical one. The two jets were to lure the Autobots into the open country, where they would have no cover against the flying Decepticons, and thus would be easy pickings.<br />
<br />
In one possible sequence of events, Bumblebee happened upon the duo, and was able to take out Blitzwing with a sucker punch. This took Blitzwing out of commission for the time being, as he lay a smoldering wreck on the ground. Later, if events played out in a certain fashion, a patched-up Blitzwing would join the rest of the Decepticons in tracking down Sparkplug Witwicky to a cave in the mountains. The human had discovered a fatal flaw in the Decepticons' circuitry, and the bulk of the Decepticons' forces were tasked by Megatron into hunting him down. The Decepticons were then ambushed by Swoop, who then either took out Megatron by himself, leading Blitzwing and the rest of the Decepticons to be subsequently defeated by Autobot reinforcements, or flew away after his initial assault, leading most of the Decepticon jets, but not Blitzwing himself, on a chase all the way back to Autobot headquarters. In the later turn of events, a later possibility arose wherein Prowl attempted to make a mad dash back to Autobot headquarters with Sparkplug. In this scenario, Blitzwing and Laserbeak chased Prowl as he zig-zagged into a forest, evading Decepticon fire... only for it all to turn out nothing but one of [[you]]r dreams.<br />
<br />
In a completely different sequence of events, Bumblebee happened upon the duo, but hid amongst abandoned cars on the roadway instead of engaging Blitzwing and Starscream. Starscream and Blitzwing are not fooled, and transform before Bumblebee to discuss the Decepticons' "plan" between themselves, knowing Bumblebee would report back to Optimus. Before taking off, Blitzwing was sure to bang up the "abandonned car" out of spite. Once Optimus Prime had been lured out to the open farmland, Blitzwing was amongst the many flying Decepticons who planned to take him out. Whether or not the Decepticons succeeded depended on what decisions Optimus made.<br />
<br />
In other possible sequences of events, Blitzwing is part of a larger Decepticon army that take out the Autobots without much fanfare. {{storylink|Battle Drive}}<br />

<br />
====Autobot Alert!====<br />
In one possible scenario, Blitzwing accompanied Galvatron on a campaign to retrieve an ancient sphere of cybertite that contained the secrets to an ancient Autobot power-booster. Learning that the sphere was located within a sunken ship off the California coast, Blitzwing and the others headed for its location.<br />
<br />
If they found the Autobots in the middle of retrieving it, the Decepticons destroyed both the ship and the sphere, and proceeded to rain superior Decepticon firepower upon their foes.<br />
<br />
If the Decepticons found the coast deserted, they retrieved the ship themselves, using the might of Devastator. <br />
<br />
If Ironhide, Brawn and Grapple attempted to snatch the ship away from the Decepticons, Blitzwing and his comrades destroyed the ship and the sphere contained within to keep it out of Autobot hands. The Decepticons then proceeded to pin down the Autobots in their hiding spots, leaving the heroic robots at their mercy.<br />
<br />
If Springer, Topspin and Seaspray executed their plan to retrieve the sphere from Decepticon clutches, they successfully distracted the evil robots for long enough to whisk the cybertite sphere back to Metroplex. {{storylink|Autobot Alert!}}<br />

===Milton Bradley mini-comic===<br />
Blitzwing was among the Decepticons under [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s command who ambushed the [[Ark (G1)|ark]] and was knocked offline when it crashed into [[Earth]]. He and the others were repaired four million years later when a volcanic eruption caused the ark's systems to spring into life. {{storylink|In the Transformers}}<br />
<br />
===Ladybird Books continuity===<br />
As part of a new surveillance system, Blitzwing was in command of [[Decepticon Space Station Argon]]. He and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] coordinated the activation of the [[refraction shield]], rendering it and the other two stations like it invisible to all sensors. Some time later, Blitzwing got another transmission ordering him to move the station to a specific set of coordinates. Unaware it was [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] imitating Soundwave's voice, Blitzwing had the station shifted, at which point it collided with the other two stations, destroying all three. {{storylink|Galvatron's Air Attack}}<br />

[[File:1 blitzwing war within.jpg|left|thumb|This probably didn't happen.]]<br />
Shortly after [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optronix]] was upgraded into [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Megatron overlooked Blitzwing's activities in the field via a view-screen in his throne room. {{storylink|The War Within issue 2|The War Within #2}} Blitzwing later participated in [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s assault on [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] where he demonstrated triple-changing abilities. {{storylink|The War Within issue 3|The War Within #3}} He was at Shockwave's side when the latter ordered the final push on the [[Decagon]], {{storylink|The War Within issue 4|The War Within #4}} and afterwards when Shockwave declared victory in Iacon with only a few Autobots left to mop up. {{storylink|The War Within issue 5|The War Within #5}} Blitzwing and the other Decepticons did not have long to savor their triumph - they were forced to retreat when [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] wound up destroying the entire [[Polities of Cybertron|city-state]] by activating one of Cybertron's planetary engines. {{storylink|The War Within issue 6|The War Within #6}}<br />
<br />
[[File:2 blitzwing dark ages.jpg|thumb|This may have happened, but he probably didn't look like that.]]<br />
After the disappearance of Optimus Prime and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] in a [[space bridge]] explosion, Blitzwing remained with Shockwave's Decepticon forces, but was captured and imprisoned by the Autobots as an experiment too dangerous to be set free. Due to some unique property of his [[spark]], Blitzwing was abducted from [[Autobase]] by [[the Fallen]] as part of the [[Unbinding]], {{storylink|Confrontation (issue)|Confrontation}} and presumably released back to the Decepticons after the temporary truce that resulted from the Fallen's defeat. {{storylink|Conflagration}}<br />
<br />
[[File:3 blitzwing micromasters.jpg|left|thumb|This could have happened.]]<br />
Following the departure of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], Blitzwing served as Shockwave's lieutenant, overseeing the introduction of [[Micromaster]]s into the Decepticon ranks. Blitzwing and Octane were standing guard at Decepticon HQ when one of the Decepticons' Micromaster patrols returned for a mission. One of them, the badly injured [[Greasepit (G1)|Greasepit]], begged his larger counterparts to share some of their Energon, but Astrotrain and Blitzwing simply mocked him, and guzzled down their drinks. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}} Shortly before the return of [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] and [[Skyhopper]], Blitzwing appeared to be undergoing some sort of mutation which Shockwave did not fully understand, but which was also affecting [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. Shockwave wanted to analyze and concentrate this mutation but his plans were cut short by the arrival of the two Micromasters - Blitzwing was knocked offline by Skyhopper, while Skystalker turned Shockwave into a glove puppet. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}<br />
<br />
[[File:4 blitzwing prime directive.jpg|thumb|This almost certainly didn't.]]<br />
At some point Blitzwing was reactivated and made his way to [[Earth]], where he was seen among the Decepticons captured and deactivated during [[Operation Liberation]]. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 5|Prime Directive #5}}<br />
<br />
[[File:5 blitzwing new world order.jpg|left|thumb|Did this happen?]]<br />
Somehow he avoided becoming one of the Transformers recovered and controlled by [[Lazarus]], returning instead to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] where he fell once more under Shockwave's command. During this time, Shockwave had unified the Autobots and Decepticons, and Blitzwing now served alongside his former enemies as part of a combined force. Alongside his fellow [[Triple Changer]]s, Blitzwing accompanied Shockwave to Earth to capture the renegade forces of Optimus Prime and Megatron and even managed to cause Megatron some damage before he was badly bent out of shape by [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] in the battle that ensued.<br />
<br />
While Shockwave returned to Cybertron with the captive ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' crew, Blitzwing remained behind on Earth to assist [[Security Team Dion]] in apprehending the Autobots. {{storylink|New World Order}} {{storylink|Generation 1 issue 0|Generation 1 #0}} Despite his mutual antagonism with the [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|team's commander]], they managed to capture Prime's crew without incident, except when Blitzwing's goading of Optimus Prime caused him to smack the Triple Changer down. Blitzwing returned to Cybertron along with the prisoners aboard [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]. {{storylink|Brothers' Burden}}<br />
<br />
Shockwave was ordering Blitzwing to bring him his prisoners when the conversation was interrupted by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]' attack on Shockwave's citadel. {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}} Blitzwing crossed swords once more with Grimlock and though it was Ultra Magnus who took the Dinobot commander down, it was Blitzwing who made sure he ''stayed'' down. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} Later, during Optimus Prime's uprising of the Autobot resistance, Shockwave ordered Blitzwing to rally the troops and activate the defences. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}} Blitzwing subsequently joined Astrotrain on the front lines, and was about to take out that Autobrat [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] when he was pummelled into the ground by a rejuvenated Grimlock and thrown at an approaching [[Guardian robot|Omega Sentinel]]. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}<br />
<br />
[[File:6 blitzwing route of all evil.jpg|thumb|Eh, doesn't matter anymore.]]<br />
Following the toppling of Shockwave's government, Shockwave, Blitzwing, Astrotrain and the [[Conehead]]s went to ground in the Cybertronian wastelands, operating out of a hidden base. When their perimeter alarm was tripped by a reanimated [[Air Warrior]], Shockwave ordered Blitzwing and Astrotrain to investigate. The mindless drone was merely a distraction for a [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]] attack and though Astrotrain surrendered and agreed to serve Megatron, Blitzwing's loyalty to Shockwave proved too great - he resisted and the Predacons tore him to pieces. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}}<br />
<br />
His remains were then examined by [[Sixshot]]. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}<br />
<br />
{{note|Blitzwing's history in Dreamwave's comics was rather convoluted and contradictory. His appearance among the captured Decepticons on Earth in [[Prime Directive|''Transformers: Generation 1'' vol. 1: Prime Directive]] is at odds with his later appearances on Cybertron in [[War and Peace|''Transformers: Generation 1'' vol. 2: War and Peace]] and ''[[Transformers: Micromasters|Micromasters]]''. Furthermore, his earliest chronological appearance in ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' depicts him as a Triple Changer, while in ''[[Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|The Dark Ages]]'' he's an experiment that Shockwave had invested an "awful lot of time and resources in". ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' also states that Blitzwing's triple-changing was the result of one of Shockwave's experiments (though problematically it claims [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] was perfected first) while in ''Micromasters'' Blitzwing appears to be naturally evolving into a Triple Changer. The answers to these conundrums, and the identity of the being who examined his fallen form (though it was likely [[Sixshot]]) will remain forever unanswered, due to the bankruptcy and collapse of Dreamwave.}}<br />

Innumerable copies of Blitzwing are part of the [[Decepticon]] forces that menace [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] on his journey.<br />
<br />
They trundle forward slowly in tank mode, their low profiles making it hard for Magnus to hit them while in robot mode. Bizarrely, despite those big honking cannons they got, they don't fire at all. Magnus's vehicle-mode low arcing missile shot can nail tank-mode Blitzwings, forcing them into robot mode. A second shot from the missile is needed to finally destroy them in robot mode, as they are ''just'' short enough to slip under Magnus's robot-mode blaster.<br />

Or they can just be jumped over easily because the effort isn't worth it and something else will likely kill you while you're dinking around with a Blitzwing.<br />

In the Autobot story, Blitzwing appears to have been placed in charge of the Jaad wind power plant. When Optiumus Prime's squad team made it to the main station of the power plant, Blitzwing approached them in his tank form, expressing mock surprise that the Autobots managed to make it. He transformed to robot form, commenting how worthless his troops were, letting the Autobots reach the main station so easily. Blitzwing then announced that it didn't matter, because he was going to burn up the Autobots. However, Blitzwing failed to live up to his threat and was defeated by the Autobot squad team. Expressing disbelief that he was defeated, he decided to high-tail it out of there, transforming to jet mode and flying away. The Autobots faced Blitzwing once again inside the [[Monogan Hydroelectric Power Station]] and yet again at the [[Karzite mine]]. They managed to defeat the triple changer along with his troops on both occasions.<br />
<br />
During the Decepticon storyline, Blitzwing was a member of a team that Megatron sent to investigate a mysterious UFO that was spotted in the area of Zel Samine. Something caused the team to lose contact with the main Decepticon forces, and they found out that they could not leave the planet, as Zel's sun, Paradius, emitted electromagnetic rays that was harmful to them. Unable to contact Megatron and with no way to leave the planet safely, Blitzwing and the others scattered across Zel.<br />
<br />
The Decepticon forces went to Zel in order to investigate, and Blitzwing found them just when they were leaving the geothermal power plant. Expressing relief on how the Decepticons finally arrived, Blitzwing drove up to them in tank mode and transformed to [[robot mode]]. He complained about how late the Decepticons were and voiced his thoughts on how they were going to leave him behind to clean up all the pieces of the Autobots the Decepticons had defeated. Megatron briefly thought that he would have to bolt Blitzwing's mouth shut, but ultimately decided that he could use the triple changer and let him join his forces. What was Blitzwing's response?

*The earliest ''[[Diaclone]]'' catalog artwork to show the "Jet Fighter Type" Triplechanger depicted it with a less humanoid-looking face; this art took its cues from an unused, pre-production design for the toy's head.

*Like the majority of new season 2 characters, Blitzwing's character model was designed with only a front-facing image of his toy for reference, requiring the designers to invent a rear-view design from virtually whole cloth. Blitzwing's rear-view model misinterprets how ''many'' details visible from the front are supposed to work: instead of the tank turret that is supposed to rest on his back, he instead has a sort of "jetpack" which incorporates both his jet-mode engines (which are actually supposed to be his feet) and his wings (which are supposed to be part of his shoulders). His tank barrel does not even protrude from this backpack, but is instead shifted to emerge from the back of his head.<br />
**Additionally, the character model for his tank mode was evidently based on a mis-transformed toy, as it orients the entire body of the tank backwards, with his jet cockpit being at the front, visible below the tank's barrel, instead of at the back.<br />
*In the episode "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]" several of the Stunticons fit inside of Blitzwing in his jet mode in a similar way to how Decepticons usually go inside of Astrotrain in his shuttle mode. It would seem as though Blitzwing can mass shift to make his flying [[alternate mode]] large enough to fit other Decepticons the way that fellow Triple Changer Astrotrain often does.<br />
*A [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] battle scene from ''[[TV Magazine]]'' (reprinted in ''[[Transformers Generations]]'') appears to depict (one of?) Blitzwing's original alt mode(s) as a double-barreled tank—a good decade and a half before he received a Cybertronian makeover in ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]''.<br />
*The season 3 [[title sequence]] features a large row of tanks that look suspiciously identical to Blitzwing. If there was any significance meant by this is unknown (though almost certainly unlikely), but the oddity was later rationalized with the drone type [[Overcharge (G1)|Overcharge]].<br />

:''Megatron X is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''<br />
An alternate dimension version of [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]], '''Megatron X''' (aka '''the Other One''') was different in many ways. Actually having the nerve to kill his version of [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and downright ''steal'' his [[Matrix of Leadership]], he did what his primary universe counterpart failed to do... but with more tyranny than the primary version ever employed.<br />
<br />
==Fiction==<br />
===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===<br />
{{voiceactor|[[Marc Thompson]] (English)}}<br />
{{spoiler|The Other One|March 26}}<br />
Eons ago, Megatron was a [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial champion]] on Cybertron, besting numerous powerful opponents, including [[Devastator Maximus]] whose [[brain module]] he crushed. {{storylink|Trials}} While Megatron's raw strength served him well in the gladiatorial pits, it was his charisma which netted him a large following of admirers from all flocks of life. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Among his followers was [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]], a file clerk who began to author Megatron's speeches to his following. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At a rally, Megatron dubbed his movement '[[Decepticon]]s', and swore to create a new Cybertron that would bring equal rights to all citizens. As his power base grew however, Megatron's personality took a darker turn, {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} eventually staging a fatal attack on the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}<br />
<br />
Following this, Optimus—now going by "Optimus Prime"—confronted Megatron and made a plea for his old friend to stand down from his aggression. With neither willing to compromise, Megatron realized that Optimus would forever oppose him and fired a point-blank round from his [[fusion cannon]], mortally wounding his once friend before ripping the [[Matrix of Leadership]] from the short-lived [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]'s chest. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} {{storylink|The Other One}}<br />
<br />
With the Matrix, Megatron declared a [[Great War (Cyberverse)|lightning war]] on the Autobots, wiping them out completely. Free of any resistance, he used the [[AllSpark]] to create a master race of [[Perfect Decepticon|perfectly obedient Decepticons]] before ridding himself of the "unneeded" Decepticons. When the [[Quintesson]]s arrived, Megatron quickly defeated them using a [[laser snare]] before salvaging their [[multiverse]] technology for his own ends. {{storylink|The Other One}}<br />
<br />
Megatron's universe was eventually visited by an alternate version of himself who managed to steal his Matrix of Leadership and flee back to his own universe, taking [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]] and the [[Insecticon (Cyberverse)|Insecticons]] with him. Megatron eventually managed to locate the universe where his Matrix was and sent his perfect troops as an advance guard. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}<br />
<br />
After his troops had been defeated, Megatron teleported into the other universe and quickly defeated his counterpart and reclaimed his Matrix. Before he could re-insert it into himself, however, [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] seized it and flew off. Though commending him for the effort, Megatron caught up to the scout at the Autobot/Decepticon border and reclaimed his prize before being confronted by Optimus, who engaged him in a duel of the Matrices. Though initially caught off-guard, Megatron soon gained the advantage. Unbeknownst to Megatron, his Matrix now held a psychic shard of [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]], her mind scattered following her rescue of [[Croaton]]. Guided by the ghost of his universe's Optimus, Windblade sabotaged Megatron's Matrix, short-circuiting him. The crippled Megatron was retrieved by Astrotrain, who promised to take him into the multiverse and keep him trapped within him as revenge for his cruelty. {{storylink|The Other One}}<br />

<br />
==Notes==<br />
*To differentiate himself from the primary ''Cyberverse'' Megatron, X is almost half the height of Astrotrain and features a prominently darker color scheme. He becomes the same size as his primary counterpart once his Matrix is destroyed.<br />
*Megatron X is presumably named after the [[Megatron X (BW)|mysterious double]] of Beast Wars [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] from the [[Beast Wars: Transmetals]] Nintendo 64 game<br />

<br />
Prideful, treacherous, and awesomely powerful, '''Vigilem''' hails from a bygone era of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s history. A [[Titan (group)|Titan]] from the era of the [[Thirteen Tribes]] and the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]], Vigilem's loyalty to his master [[Liege Maximo]] supersedes all other desires, even his own sense of self-preservation. Though a warrior first and foremost, bristling with weaponry, Vigilem also takes after his leader, whispering poison into the ears of those who approach him unguarded. If they ''don't'' fall for his lies, however, his formidable arsenal might make them reconsider accepting his duplicitous promises.<br />
<br />
Though millennia of exile as the living prison '''Carcer''' have eaten away at his mind and body, Vigilem remains as proud and wrathful as ever, yearning to strike down his ancient nemesis [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] and extinguish the [[Spark]] of the 'bot responsible for his long banishment. <br />

<br />
During the era of the [[Thirteen]], Vigilem was the loyal Titan of [[Liege Maximo]]. {{storylink|Rubicon}} His master, however, came to believe that lies could be more powerful than the truth, {{storylink|Heavy}} and formed an alliance with the resentful [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] to overthrow their leader [[Prima]]. When their treachery was laid bare—[[Solus Prime]] killed by their machinations—Liege Maximo was captured by his fellow Primes, {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} just as Vigilem was subdued by his brethren. {{storylink|Rubicon}} <br />
<br />
At [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]]'s insistence, Liege Maximo was imprisoned within his own Titan and the two of them were permanently banished from the planet. In order to ensure that Vigilem would remain a suitable prison, Onyx Prime stripped him of his higher functions using a surgical technique that would form the basis for [[shadowplay]]—as "Onyx Prime" was a false identity constructed by a time-travelling [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], who had once been subjected to a similar process. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} Permanently transformed into his starship mode, his [[brain module]] shut down, and the Liege Maximo entombed within his body, unable to escape, the remaining Titans decided that they would henceforth refer to their exiled brother as "Carcer": a nomadic, living prison for the Liege Maximo. Several repentant members of Maximo's tribe served as Carcer's crew, pledging to keep Liege Maximo forever imprisoned inside the inert Titan. {{storylink|Rubicon}} The straitened inhabitants learned to value three things above all else: efficiency, security, and truth. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}}<br />

In spite of the Titans' efforts to purge Vigilem's name from memory, some evidence of him and his actions remained in the historical records. The colonists of [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]] remembered Vigilem as an example of how not all Titans were pure of [[Spark]]. {{storylink|Informed}}<br />

<br />
As Carcer travelled through space over the eons, a core breach threatened the integrity of the ship. The Titan's captain threw his body into the breach to seal it, beginning a tradition where the crew would sacrifice their own bodies to keep their Titan alive as his natural resources diminished. Eventually, [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] became captain and "First One", ruling from a chair composed of the bodies of their colony's greatest heroes—all of whom had given their lives in the service of their ship. {{storylink|Rubicon}} {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} Some 600,000 years ago, [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]] launched one of his [[Regenesis]] ores at Carcer, with the missile carrying a "seed" of [[Ore-10]]. {{storylink|Ceremony}} By the 21st century, Carcer's original body had become a hodgepodge of mismatched parts. {{storylink|Rubicon}} {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} <br />
<br />
After returning to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] circa [[2014]], [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] located several of his Titan brethren scattered throughout the stars. {{storylink|A Long Way Down}} Among them was Vigilem, whose [[Space bridge|Spacebridge]] read to Metroplex's sensors as his lost brother [[Tempo]]. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} When Cityspeaker [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] merged with Metroplex's brain, she saw the name "Carcer" in Metroplex's consciousness. Windblade, who had never heard of such a Titan, asked Metroplex for more information, but Metroplex hid the truth from by claiming that Carcer was a different Titan from either Tempo or Vigilem. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} {{storylink|Rubicon}} <br />
<br />
During their climatic battle, [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] kicked [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]] through Metroplex's spacebridge and onto Carcer's hull, although Optimus quickly rebounded and dived back through to Cybertron. {{storylink|All That Remains}} <br />
<br />
[[File:TheWillOfTheFew-thissucks.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]<br />
<br />
Hoping to convince the inhabitants of "Tempo" to join the [[Council of Worlds]], Chancellor [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] and [[Cityspeaker]] [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] used Metroplex's Spacebridge to reestablish contact with what they thought was a ship of peaceful philosophers. They were surprised to find a crew of militaristic colonists who identified their Titan as "Carcer". Elita One fudged the situation by lying that they had simply renamed their ship along the way; Windblade was aware that Elita was lying through her teeth and was concerned with what the First One must be hiding. After some political wrangling, the two ambassadors were nevertheless able to convince Carcer to join the Council of Worlds; they chose to send Strika and Obsidian as ambassadors. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}}<br />
<br />
The Carcerians took the opportunity to order replacements parts for some of their ship's more worn out systems. {{storylink|07:00:00}}<br />
<br />
When Windblade proposed a mental merge with [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]], [[Pyra Magna]] brought up Vigilem to remind her that Metrotitan might have ulterior motives. {{storylink|Informed}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Ping-carcervstitans.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
Shortly afterwards, a horde of [[zombie]] Titans, raised by [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] in order to raze Cybertron, began showing up on Carcer's sensors, [[Lancer]] and [[Greenlight]] reported the news to Elita One. As the Titans began arriving on Cybertron, Strika lead Carcer's crew in a valiant battle to defend Cybertron, admonishing them that they could not let the Titans take their ship for fear of releasing the Liege Maximo. As the battle wore on, Metroplex was overwhelmed by his zombified brethren, prompting Starscream to contact Elita and ask for her help. Starscream explained that he needed Carcer on the ground to help Metroplex; Elita politely refused, wished Starscream well, and shut off her comm line. {{storylink|Ping}}<br />
<br />
Repeated entreaties to get Carcer to transform didn't go any better. Windblade, Starscream, and several Council delegates talked things over, and Windblade came up with a desperate, last ditch plan: the group would invade Carcer, under cover, and Windblade would merge with him and explain the situation in hopes that he'd take it upon himself to transform and defend Cybertron. To cover Windblade's approach, the remaining ships in orbit were directed to attack Carcer directly, and [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] was deployed to draw the bulk of the Carcerians' troops, giving Windblade and her team a hopefully clearer path to Carcer's brain chamber. {{storylink|Desperate Times}} A running battle ensued as Windblade and her team struggled to elude Obsidian and Elita One. Windblade managed to establish a [[cityspeaker]] link with Carcer's [[brain module]]... only to discover that she had awakened Vigilem! {{storylink|Desperate Measures (Till All Are One)|Desperate Measures}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Rubicon-VigilemDies.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Vigilem? I hardly knew 'em!]]<br />
<br />
Vigilem's systems began rebooting, and Windblade realized that he was trying to reawaken. Unable to force the evil Titan back into his slumber, she did the unthinkable by taking physical control of Vigilem's body, shrugging off his whispered persuasions to join him. Windblade succeeded in maneuvering Vigilem's patchwork body onto Cybertron, where she engaged the zombie hordes. The dual strain of trying to fight off the Titan army and hold off Vigilem's mental manipulations proved too much, and Vigilem's consciousness quickly reasserted itself over his body once more, then moving onto Windblade's own mind. Spying Metroplex, Vigilem decided to kill the Titan he blamed for his imprisonment, mockingly declaring that the last thing the First Titan would see would be the return of the Liege Maximo, and began shifting his internal architecture to unlock his ancient prison. It was then that Elita One arrived in Vigilem's brain chamber. Announcing that she had sworn an oath to never let Vigilem or Liege Maximo walk free, she emptied her weapon into Vigilem's brain module, {{storylink|Rubicon}} who quickly downloaded his mind into Windblade's own, the influx of data sending the cityspeaker into stasis lock. {{storylink|If I Know You}} While Elita had destroyed the brain module, which caused the Titan's body to collapse, she had arrived too late to prevent her ship from disgorging its prisoner. The Liege Maximo emerged, thanking Vigilem for his loyalty. Before he teleported away, he vowed that he would avenge his imprisonment and his Titan's death. {{storylink|Rubicon}}<br />
<br />
Vigilem's corpse was subsequently cannibalized for parts before transforming back into its starship form, though Elita noted it would be years before their ship would be able to leave Cybertron's orbit. {{storylink|Heavy}}<br />
<br />
When Windblade was brought to a hospital, [[Windblade's doctor|a doctor]] determined that Vigilem had jumped into Windblade's body. Unable to distinguish between the two brain patterns, he requested [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] bring in a mnemosurgeon who refused. After suffering from a crisis of conscience, Starscream went to consult [[Airachnid (G1)|Airachnid]], who correctly deduced that Vigilem could only be destroyed if a third bot entered Windblade's mind to help disentangle her mind from the Titan's. <br />
<br />
[[File:IfIKnowYou-VigilemVsWindblade.jpg|thumb|right|300px|I. WANT. [[Windblade (G1)#Titans Return|MY. OWN. TOY]]!]]<br />
<br />
Within their shared mindspace, Vigilem tried to convince Windblade to merge their Sparks so they could both survive, offering his wealth of knowledge about manipulation and ancient Cybertron as extra incentive so that Windblade could bring Cybertron to true peace. As the two clashed, Vigilem said he had no intention of using Windblade to possess Metroplex and examined the cityspeaker's memories to show that despite her initial optimism about the world, she had made countless morally grey choices and told lies. Vigilem then asked, had Windblade compromised her ideals or had she just come to understand how the world truly worked? {{storylink|If I Know You}} <br />
<br />
Windblade and Vigilem continued to battle against one another for control of the body until Starscream—patched into Windblade's mind with the help of [[Airachnid (G1)|Airachnid]]—arrived to help the beleaguered Cityspeaker. Unfortunately for Starscream, Vigilem recognized that Starscream's mind offered another way to escape his new prison. Transforming into a vision of [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] to paralyze Starscream with fear, Vigilem leapt into Starscream's mind and began attacking Starscream, ripping away at his mental projection until finally exposing his spark. Convinced that he had defeated his foe, Vigilem began to overwrite Starscream's mind... unaware that Windblade had rescued Starscream's [[spark]]. Manifesting a replica of [[Solus Prime]]'s old hammer, Windblade "forged" Starscream's spark and created a spectral army—all based off significant figures in Starscream's life—to slow down Vigilem. <br />
<br />
[[File:YourFirstMistake-VigilemDefeated.jpg|thumb|left|250px|No, not into the pit! It ''buuuuuurns!'']]<br />
<br />
Battling the ghosts of Starscream's past, Vigilem was weighed down by the ghostly army, buying just enough time to complete her work and forge Starscream into a towering, resplendent form; the true form that his Spark was always ''meant'' to take. With one footfall, Starscream crushed the cowering Titan underfoot and banished him back into Windblade's mind. Realizing the key to defeating Vigilem, Windblade once more assumed a gigantic form and shoved the weakened Titan into her own spark chamber. Just as the forge of Starscream's spark burned away everything, revealing his innermost truth, Windblade turned her spectral spark into a forge to burn away Vigilem. His duplicitous nature finally laid bare, Windblade found no truth in the spark of the villainous Titan. Vigilem's mind was swiftly burned away to nothing, finally ending his life and allowing Windblade to return to the waking world. {{storylink|Your First Mistake}}<br />
<br />
Though his spark was destroyed, Vigilem's body was converted back to starship form and reassumed its orbit above Cybertron once again as "Carcer". After human terrorists had attacked [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Elita called for reinforcements from Carcer only for the [[Solstar Order]] to arrive and bar the Carcerians from teleporting in troops. {{storylink|First Strike issue 2|First Strike #2}}<br />
<br />
After becoming a candidate in the Cybertronian elections, [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] confessed to Metroplex that she feared her desire to rule Cybertron might be a remnant of Vigilem's personality lingering in her mind. Metroplex said Vigilem had listened to no one but Liege Maximo and if Windblade listened to and helped others, she would know herself to be free from Vigilem's influence. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}<br />
<br />
When [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]] returned to Cybertron with its crew proving hostile, Elita One suggested turning Carcer on the evil Titan only to be overruled on account of the poor luck [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]] had had against Nemesis. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 5: Endless Forever|Endless Forever}}<br />
<br />
As [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] began devouring the galaxy, Carcer remained in Cybertronian orbit. After [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]] fell, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] noted that [[Earth]] and Carcer were the only colonies left between the Chaos Bringer and Cybertron. A quick count by [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] however highlighted that that only accounted for ''twelve'' of the thirteen colonies. {{storylink|Last Stand (Unicron)|Last Stand}}<br />
<br />
Once Unicron began his assault on Cybertron, Carcer served as the impromptu flagship of the Cybertronian defense, with the intention to unleash [[Victorion]] within the monster's innards. While the Carcerians managed to deploy their weapon, they soon came under heavy fire from [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s [[Worldsweeper]]. With the ship falling apart at the seams, Elita One ordered her craft to ram Unicron only for the Chaos Bringer to casually incinerate the ship with an optic attack. {{storylink|Our Finest}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Unicron4 Carcer Last Stand.jpg|thumb|right|400px|"Full emergency power to the engines. Ram the Blade Ship."]]<br />
<br />
Considering Carcer destroyed, Unicron turned his attention to the rest of the Cybertronian fleet. However, Carcer had in fact survived the blast with most of his control system intact. Elita made her way back to the bridge and reassumed the helm just as the [[magic]] of the [[Spectral Knight]]s began to teleport the Cybertronian populace. Unicron attempted to destroy the rest of the fleet before they could be evacuated, but was interrupted when Elita defiantly rammed Carcer into his face, destroying both Carcer and herself but giving the fleet a little extra time—just enough for the magic to reach them and teleport them to safety. {{storylink|Road's End}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
[[File:SaraPitreDurocher-VigilemConceptArt.jpg|thumb|right|300px|See that? That's millions of years of taking the stairs instead of the elevator.]]<br />
* "Vigilem" is the first-person singular present active subjunctive (whew!) form of the Latin verb "vigilar", meaning "to watch over"... and he and his crew certainly did "watch over" Liege Maximo for who knows how long!<br />
** Sorry, Classical Latin aficionados, but according to [[Mairghread Scott]], the name is pronounced as an English speaker would expect, like the word "vigilant".<ref>[https://twitter.com/MairghreadScott/status/986265418984599552 Tweet by @MairghreadScott, 2018/04/17]</ref> <br />
* "Carcer", meanwhile, is Latin for "prison": a fitting name, as he was indeed a prison for the Liege Maximo as well as a prisoner in his own body.<br />
* The "Book of Logos" was written prior to the revelation that "Carcer" was merely an alternate name for Vigilem, hence why it treats the two names separately and does not perfectly mirror the IDW continuity. <br />
* Backmatter in [[Ceremony|''Unicron'' #6]] series implies that Carcer carried [[Ore-10|the tenth]] of Shockwave's [[Regenesis]] ores, though how exactly this ''works'', what with him not being a planet and all, is not expounded on.<br />

<br />
Prideful, treacherous, and awesomely powerful, '''Vigilem''' hails from a bygone era of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s history. A [[Titan (group)|Titan]] from the era of the [[Thirteen Tribes]] and the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]], Vigilem's loyalty to his master [[Liege Maximo]] supersedes all other desires, even his own sense of self-preservation. Though a warrior first and foremost, bristling with weaponry, Vigilem also takes after his leader, whispering poison into the ears of those who approach him unguarded. If they ''don't'' fall for his lies, however, his formidable arsenal might make them reconsider accepting his duplicitous promises.<br />
<br />
Though millennia of exile as the living prison '''Carcer''' have eaten away at his mind and body, Vigilem remains as proud and wrathful as ever, yearning to strike down his ancient nemesis [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] and extinguish the [[Spark]] of the 'bot responsible for his long banishment. <br />

During the era of the [[Thirteen]], Vigilem was the loyal Titan of [[Liege Maximo]]. {{storylink|Rubicon}} His master, however, came to believe that lies could be more powerful than the truth, {{storylink|Heavy}} and formed an alliance with the resentful [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] to overthrow their leader [[Prima]]. When their treachery was laid bare—[[Solus Prime]] killed by their machinations—Liege Maximo was captured by his fellow Primes, {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} just as Vigilem was subdued by his brethren. {{storylink|Rubicon}} <br />
<br />
At [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]]'s insistence, Liege Maximo was imprisoned within his own Titan and the two of them were permanently banished from the planet. In order to ensure that Vigilem would remain a suitable prison, Onyx Prime stripped him of his higher functions using a surgical technique that would form the basis for [[shadowplay]]—as "Onyx Prime" was a false identity constructed by a time-travelling [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], who had once been subjected to a similar process. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} Permanently transformed into his starship mode, his [[brain module]] shut down, and the Liege Maximo entombed within his body, unable to escape, the remaining Titans decided that they would henceforth refer to their exiled brother as "Carcer": a nomadic, living prison for the Liege Maximo. Several repentant members of Maximo's tribe served as Carcer's crew, pledging to keep Liege Maximo forever imprisoned inside the inert Titan. {{storylink|Rubicon}} The straitened inhabitants learned to value three things above all else: efficiency, security, and truth. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}}<br />

Metroplex said Vigilem had listened to no one but Liege Maximo and if Windblade listened to and helped others, she would know herself to be free from Vigilem's influence. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}<br />
<br />
When [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]] returned to Cybertron with its crew proving hostile, Elita One suggested turning Carcer on the evil Titan only to be overruled on account of the poor luck [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]] had had against Nemesis. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 5: Endless Forever|Endless Forever}}<br />
<br />
As [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] began devouring the galaxy, Carcer remained in Cybertronian orbit. After [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]] fell, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] noted that [[Earth]] and Carcer were the only colonies left between the Chaos Bringer and Cybertron. A quick count by [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] however highlighted that that only accounted for ''twelve'' of the thirteen colonies. {{storylink|Last Stand (Unicron)|Last Stand}}<br />
<br />
Once Unicron began his assault on Cybertron, Carcer served as the impromptu flagship of the Cybertronian defense, with the intention to unleash [[Victorion]] within the monster's innards. While the Carcerians managed to deploy their weapon, they soon came under heavy fire from [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s [[Worldsweeper]]. With the ship falling apart at the seams, Elita One ordered her craft to ram Unicron only for the Chaos Bringer to casually incinerate the ship with an optic attack. {{storylink|Our Finest}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Unicron4 Carcer Last Stand.jpg|thumb|right|400px|"Full emergency power to the engines. Ram the Blade Ship."]]<br />
<br />
Considering Carcer destroyed, Unicron turned his attention to the rest of the Cybertronian fleet. However, Carcer had in fact survived the blast with most of his control system intact. Elita made her way back to the bridge and reassumed the helm just as the [[magic]] of the [[Spectral Knight]]s began to teleport the Cybertronian populace. Unicron attempted to destroy the rest of the fleet before they could be evacuated, but was interrupted when Elita defiantly rammed Carcer into his face, destroying both Carcer and herself but giving the fleet a little extra time—just enough for the magic to reach them and teleport them to safety. {{storylink|Road's End}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
[[File:SaraPitreDurocher-VigilemConceptArt.jpg|thumb|right|300px|See that? That's millions of years of taking the stairs instead of the elevator.]]<br />
* "Vigilem" is the first-person singular present active subjunctive (whew!) form of the Latin verb "vigilar", meaning "to watch over"... and he and his crew certainly did "watch over" Liege Maximo for who knows how long!<br />
** Sorry, Classical Latin aficionados, but according to [[Mairghread Scott]], the name is pronounced as an English speaker would expect, like the word "vigilant".<ref>[https://twitter.com/MairghreadScott/status/986265418984599552 Tweet by @MairghreadScott, 2018/04/17]</ref> <br />
* "Carcer", meanwhile, is Latin for "prison": a fitting name, as he was indeed a prison for the Liege Maximo as well as a prisoner in his own body.<br />
* The "Book of Logos" was written prior to the revelation that "Carcer" was merely an alternate name for Vigilem, hence why it treats the two names separately and does not perfectly mirror the IDW continuity. <br />
* Backmatter in [[Ceremony|''Unicron'' #6]] series implies that Carcer carried [[Ore-10|the tenth]] of Shockwave's [[Regenesis]] ores, though how exactly this ''works'', what with him not being a planet and all, is not expounded on.<br />

<br />
'''Hoist''' was once a spaceship repair-bot and aspiring inventor. Now he's putting his engineering skills and towing abilities to new use as a potential [[Rescue Bot]]. Studying at the [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] on [[Earth]], Hoist is learning to have more confidence in himself and work as part of a team with his fellow students [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]], [[Medix (RB)|Medix]], [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]], and [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]]. Just make sure the mission doesn't involve [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]] or, by extension, [[Dinobot (RID)|Dinobots]].<br />

Following the restoration of Cybertron from the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Hoist was one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. {{Storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}<br />

{{voiceactor|[[Alan Trinca]] (English)|[[Dario Sansalone]] (Italian)}}<br />
[[File:IfAtFirst Hoist brainstorming.jpg|thumb|left|260px]]<br />
Hoist was selected to be a new recruit at the [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] on [[Earth]]. Shortly after [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] joined the team, [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] had them undertake a test rescue, with Hoist and [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] extracting [[Tough Luck Chuck]] from a burning building, however the test ended in failure thanks to Hot Shot. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]] and Hoist unsuccessfully tried to find Hot Shot, who appeared to be headed back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], however their fellow recuit later turned up with two extra alternate modes bestowed on him by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. The recruits went on to successfully carry out a cave rescue. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}} Hoist and the other recruits got to meet [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] when the copter-bot was brought in to help tutor Hot Shot in the art of flying, and later took part in a forest fire rescue. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}}<br />
<br />
After a rescue turned out to be more difficult than expected, the other recruits got Hoist to create new rescue tools for them to use, including a winch whip for himself. Hoist was discouraged when the first test of the tools was a dismal failure, but the other recruits got [[Boulder]] involved, and Hoist successfully perfected the tools. {{storylink|If at First...}} After Hot Shot was assigned to look after Tough Luck Chuck when the test robot was damaged, [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] and Hoist found Chuck roaming the training center. Chuck managed to slip off Hoist's hook and escape through the [[GroundBridge]], forcing the Rescue Bots to hunt for him in [[Milford]]. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Bored by Chase's class on police codes, Hoist and the other recruits persuaded Chase to let them try to do a practice rescue, and ended up being rescued themselves by Whirl when they got stuck in the snow. {{storylink|Whirl'd View}} When the recruits didn't understand why Boulder was having them plant flowers, the Rescue Bot set them a task which taught them that all parts of nature are important, though Hoist had the misfortune of stepping in cow patties. {{storylink|Plan Bee}}<br />
<br />
[[File:MissionInaudible Hoist in action.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]<br />
Hoist was helping Boulder by repairing the launch tubes, when Wedge started abusing the rescue alarm for a series of drills intended to get the team's response time down. As a result, the repairs didn't get done and Wedge ended up trapped in one of the launch tubes when it malfunctioned. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}} The recruits had to contend with a runaway rock sculpture of Hot Shot's head when he decided to carve it into a mountain alongside the likenesses of the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} After he broke up an argument between Hot Shot and Wedge, Hoist was put in charge of a rescue exercise but had trouble getting the other recruits to follow his orders. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} After completing a simulated rescue, despite a glitch occuring, the recruits took part in a real rescue in Griffin Rock which was only successful because the glitch gave [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] an idea to complete it safely. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}}<br />
<br />
[[File:FiveIntoFour Hoist vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|left|320px]]<br />
After a ride on the ''[[Sigma]]'', the recruits assumed the four command chairs meant one of their number wouldn't graduate. The team went on to botch a volcano rescue drill after staying up all night worrying, until Heatwave told them they'd assumed wrong. {{storylink|Five into Four}} When Whirl was filming footage for a recruitment video, Hoist broke out his Heatwave and Optimus puppets for a brief show before falling through a GroundBridge portal to [[Outer Mongolia]]. He and the others later helped whip the footage into a usable state. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} After a botched rescue had the recruits blaming each other, Heatwave assigned them to cleaning duties. Hot Shot sneaked out to do a rescue, and as a result, the rest of the recruits had to go help him when he hit trouble. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Hoist and the other recruits set up a surprise rescue mission for Medix, who didn't get the appeal of surprises. Unfortunately the mission did not go well, and the other recruits promised to stop with the surprises. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}<br />
<br />
[[File:DrivingAWedge Wes Hoist lassoo.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]<br />
The recruits got to try out some [[TX3000]]s on loan to the rescue center, and even used them during an actual rescue. {{storylink|The TX3000}} After being proclaimed hero of the hour for a rescue, Hoist was reluctant to spend time recuperating in his stasis pod, and as a result jeopardized another rescue mission with his malfunctions. {{storylink|Little Bot Peep}} During [[Lad Pioneer|Teen Pioneer]] [[Wes]]'s visit to the Academy, he and Hoist spend some time in Hero Hall practicing their skills with the lassoo. {{storylink|Driving a Wedge}} Boulder accompanied the recruits to the planet [[Parvus]] where they rescued the last surviving [[Galax]]. {{storylink|The Big, Small Rescue}}<br />
<br />
When Hot Shot and Wedge decided to compete over who was qualified to get into the [[Heroes of Cybertron (cards)|Heroes of Cybertron]] card game, Hoist acted as referee. After the competition ended in a tie, Hoist revealed he'd made custom cards for them both. {{storylink|Battle of the Bots}} Hoist and the other recruits had to round up a small rock alien that got loose in the academy. {{storylink|About a Rock}} The recruits tried to keep secret the fact a dog had followed them home after the last rescue, only to discover that the dog was actually trying to alert them to the fact they'd missed someone who needed rescuing. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Hoist took part in the rescue of [[Dr Hart]] on a runaway iceberg. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}}<br />
<br />
Whirl tried to get Hoist and the other recruits into cheerleading, but it wasn't until they employed the skills they'd learned during a rescue that they were enthusiastic about it. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}} When Boulder assigned the recruits the task of familiarizing themselves with smartphones, they neglected their lessons and chores, resulting in them screwing up a rescue exercise. {{storylink|Screen Time}} During a visit to the museum in Milford, Hoist and the others helped Whirl apprehend a criminal in the act of robbing the place. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}<br />
<br />
[[File:AllWashedUp Hoist unveils ScrubADubber.jpg|thumb|left|350px]]<br />
When their teachers went missing on a space mission, the recruits worked together to pilot the ''Sigma'' and mount a rescue. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} Assigned the task of trash collection, Hoist souped up his garbage grabber to incorporate an electromagnet. He successfully used it to locate a shipwreck when the recruits' next mission was undersea trash collection. {{Storylink|All at Sea}} Hoist created the [[Scrub-A-Dubber]] to clean up the academy for them while the teachers were away, however the recruits plugged so many power pods into it that it became out of control and they had to trap it in Heatwave's office. {{storylink|All Washed Up}}<br />
<br />
Heatwave suggested that the bored students try their hands at being teachers for the day. Hoist set up a driving course for Medix to demonstrate, however a sudden downpour made it trickier than intended. {{storylink|Who's Teaching Who?}} An attempt to rescue a balloon from a tree turned into a major disaster when the recruits went in without a plan. {{Storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}} During a sim exercise, Hoist was so distracted reading about dragons that Heatwave assigned the recruits a new medieval sim with a dragon in it. They first attempted to corral the dragon before realizing it was actually trying to help. {{storylink|The Mystery of Dragon Mountain}} Another sim turned into chaos thanks to Hot Shot combining it with his game, forcing the recruits to deal with giant hedgehogs. {{Storylink|Hack Attack}}<br />
<br />
[[File:TyrannosaurusWrecked sick Hoist.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]<br />
Hoist and the other recruits found their rescues complicated by Medix's attempts to loosen up after they suggested he was a stick in the mud. {{storylink|Life of the Party}} Hoist was unenthusiastic when it turned out [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] was joining the academy as a teacher, as he was afraid of Dinobots. He kept making excuses to skip lessons, until he discovered Grimlock was deathly afraid of cats, and pledged to work through his fear. {{storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}} Despite this, Hoist asked to be let off a trip to [[Wayward Island|Dino Island]] due to his fear of [[dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]] only to find himself stuck in the academy with a dinosaur which had come through the GroundBridge. After he bravely removed a rock stuck in its foot, it was much happier, although he still had not completely shaken his fear of dinosaurs. {{storylink|Dino Hard}}<br />
<br />
Assigned a stealth mission by Chase, Hoist and Whirl managed to find Tough Luck Chuck hiding in a barn, but were caught by Chase after Whirl accidentally demolished the structure. {{storylink|Buddy Cop}} Another mission saw the recruits having to rescue penguins from an island the hard way after an electrical storm knocked out their tools and even their ability to transform. {{storylink|Escape from Penguin Island}} During a competitive search and rescue exercise, Hoist cheated by using an accidentally dropped map to find Chuck. He won the prize, picking an Old West sim for the recruits to do, but had to admit that he'd cheated earlier when the sim turned into another search and rescue. {{storylink|All that Glitters}} A hunt for a downed satellite resulted in the recruits hiding out backstage at [[Dig Fest (event)|Dig Fest]] while trying to signal Wedge. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}}<br />
<br />
[[File:TuneOut Hoist forgot the tune.jpg|thumb|left|280px]]<br />
The recruits took part in [[Halloween]] festivities and ended up having to deal with a house fire. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}} Medix's confusion over a television commercial meant that the recruits had to mount a hasty coverup so he wouldn't blow their secret to all of Milford. {{storylink|Monster Savings}} Heatwave assigned Hoist the task of looking after the experimental [[Virtual Sonic Fence]], for which the recruit memorized the unlock code by remembering the tune it made. Unfortunately the tune turned out to be such an earworm it interfered with the recruits' concentration and they had to erase it from their minds. This later caused problems when they needed to use the device during a mission to [[Herbu]], but Hoist eventually succeeded in remembering the tune. {{storylink|Tune Out}} A trip to survey a geyser field saw the recruits having to deal with a swarm of [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}}<br />
<br />
Hoist and the other recruits took part in essential maintenance as directed by Bumblebee, unlike Wedge who spent the whole time trying to impress his hero, and they were therefore fully functional for the following rescue drill. {{storylink|Bee Prepared}} When Whirl's failed attempts to do a maneuver led her to try to seek out the Wise One, the other recruits went after her and became trapped in a ravine, requiring her to rescue them using the maneuver she had been trying to perfect. {{storylink|Whirl's Wise-Bot Quest}} Hot Shot's careless actions in ejecting his junk into space had Hoist and the others following his lead, resulting an a huge junk meteor that threatened the satellite they were trying to repair. {{storylink|Flying Hunk-A-Junk}} A mission deep undersea forced the recruits to rely on each other as they rescued an automated drone from deep sea wildlife. {{storylink|Into the Depths}}<br />
<br />
Inspired by a dog whistle, Hoist created the "talkie squawkie", a new comms device designed to not be audible to humans. Despite Heatwave insisting it needed testing before use, Hoist proceeded to test it anyway, causing problems when it turned out to drive animals crazy. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} The recruits struggled to complete a rescue sim until Hot Shot realized they'd been trying to stop the disaster instead of saving the people. {{Storylink|The Ice Wave}} As graduation drew closer, the recruits successful competed against their teachers in a relay race carrying a pretend rescue victim. Hoist and the others were surprised and saddened when Hot Shot opted to abandon his Rescue Bot training and return to Cybertron to compete in the Cube finals. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} Wanting to watch Hot Shot's Cube game, Hoist came up with the idea of boosting the holo-emitter screen using the [[space bridge]]. This resulted in the creation of a slowly growing energon bubble which engulfed the academy. It was only when Hot Shot returned that the recruits were able to burst the bubble. The recruits were able to graduate from year one of their learning. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}<br />

:Part of the fifth wave of the original ''Rescue Bots'' toyline, Hoist transforms from robot into a tow truck. Pulling the tow truck's hook up converts him back into a robot.<br />
<br />
: The wave with Hoist and [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] was originally a bit scarce on retail shelves (though it hit [[Target]] clearance in some places), and as such the two demanded some hefty prices on the secondary market thanks to a surge of interest in the line as a result of the [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|cartoon)]]. However, there must have been a warehouse find or something, as [[eBay]] sellers eventually started listing them in large numbers for roughly original retail.<br />

<br />
:Part of the eleventh wave of "Rescan" figures (second wave of the 2016 assortment), Hoist is a re-working of his original toy in a smaller scale. He transforms from robot to tow truck (and back) in a single step, activated by swinging his legs down (or up), which swings out (or in) his arms and head. His tow-winch is adjustable and can ''in theory'' tow another toy in vehicle mode, but the hook sits pretty dang close to his rear bumper and prevents some toys from hooking up with him; [[Quickshadow#Rescue Bots|Quickshadow]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#RescanCar|Bumblebee]] both work for this.<br />
<br />
:He has [[5mm post|5mm post-holes]] on his tow-winch and both sides of his fists, though the ones on the bottoms of his fists have considerably more clearance for large "accessories" like the [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)#Mini-Cons|''Rescue Bots'' Mini-Cons]].<br />

: The first ''Academy''-branded Hoist is a redeco and retool of the earlier [[#Rescan|Rescan]] version of Hoist, now cast in colors more closely resembling his on-screen appearance in the ''Rescue Bots Academy'' show. First revealed at Toy Fair 2019<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/events/gallery.php?event_id=621 Seibertron.com - Toy Fair 2019: Transformers Rescue Bots Academy Photogallery]</ref>, he features a new head, new vehicle mode traybed, and revised waist and legs, turning him into a 6-wheeled flatbed tow truck. Hoist comes in a set of four, similar to the previous "[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)#Rescan Series|Griffin Rock Rescue Team]]", with [[Whirl (RBA)#AcadRescTeam|Whirl]] (retool of VTOL jet version of Blades), [[Hot Shot (Prime)#AcadRescTeam|Hot Shot]] (retool of Rock Rescue Team Bumblebee) and [[Wedge (RBA)#AcadRescTeam|Wedge]] (retool of cement mixer Salvage).<br />

He features a "tow-line" gimmick in his left arm; the winch on said arm actually works and has a hook, and can be retracted on a spring by pressing the left side of his front bumper.<br />

==Notes==<br />
[[File:RBHoist-packageart.jpg|thumb]]<br />
* The original Hoist's [[package art]] shows him teamed with an unnamed human partner in the shape, but not colors, of the original [[Charlie Burns#Toys|Charlie Burns figure]]. This character never materialized as a toy.<br />
* His Rescan series artwork is a trace-over of the original rendered in style to match the cartoon's look. It also omits the human partner and changes a handful of details to line up more with the new toy.<br />
* Compared to the final version, Hoist's [[:File:Rescue Bots Academy Hoist.jpg|initial character model]] for ''Rescue Bots Academy'' featured black wrist panels instead of green, no silver shoulder hubcaps, different leg stripe placements, and silver ear disks instead of black. The coloring for his vehicle mode also resembles his original toy much more.<br />

Following a rescue in [[Griffin Rock]], the recruits persuaded Hoist to make new rescue tools for them all. Whirl got new rotors on her arms, and though the initial test went horribly wrong, she and the other recruits enlisted the help of Boulder, and Hoist eventually perfected the tools. {{storylink|If at First...}} After Hot Shot badly damaged [[Tough Luck Chuck]] and was assigned the task of looking after the robot, he tried to foist the duty onto Whirl, who was trying to do some rescue research, only for Chuck to slip past them. They attempted to hunt him down, and eventually pursued him to [[Milford]]. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Whirl enthusiastically memorised all of the police codes Chase was teaching the recruits, and as a result, when the other recruits persuaded Chase to let them try a rescue and instead got stuck in the snow, Whirl was able to rescue them. {{storylink|Whirl'd View}} When the recruits didn't understand why Boulder was having them plant flowers, the Rescue Bot set them a task which taught them that all parts of nature are important. {{storylink|Plan Bee}}<br />
<br />
[[File:MissionInaudible Whirl copter mode.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"I was just on an important mission to save my friends and AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THE SAME THING?!"]]<br />
Whirl and the other recruits were bugged when [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] borrowed the trigger for the rescue alarm and had them constantly running drills to get their response time down. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}} The recruits had to contend with a runaway rock sculpture of Hot Shot's head when he decided to carve it into a mountain alongside the likenesses of the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} When Hoist was put in charge of a rescue exercise, Whirl was the only one who actually followed any of his orders, and ended up dangling over a chasm with Hot Shot, Wedge and [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] dangling from her until Hoist successfully rescued them. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} After completing a simulated rescue, despite a glitch occurring, the recruits took part in a real rescue in Griffin Rock which was only successful because the glitch gave [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] an idea to complete it safely. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}}<br />
<br />
[[File:RescuePromo Whirl filmmaker.jpg|thumb|left|270px|"Put a little bomb in the hot-ass damsel, blow stuff up and make people die-"]]<br />
After a ride on the ''[[Sigma]]'', the recruits assumed the four command chairs meant one of their number wouldn't graduate. The team went on to botch a volcano rescue drill after staying up all night worrying, until Heatwave told them they'd assumed wrong. {{storylink|Five into Four}} Whirl took over filming a recruitment video for the training center, but all the footage she got was terrible and it wasn't until she told the other recruits that they were able to pitch in and help her make a workable video. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} After a botched rescue had the recruits blaming each other, Heatwave assigned them to cleaning duties. Hot Shot sneaked out to do a rescue, and as a result, the rest of the recruits had to go help him when he hit trouble. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Whirl and the other recruits set up a surprise rescue mission for Medix, who didn't get the appeal of surprises. Unfortunately the mission did not go well, and the other recruits promised to stop with the surprises. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}<br />
<br />
The recruits got to try out some [[TX3000]]s on loan to the rescue center, and even used them during an actual rescue. {{storylink|The TX3000}} They had to round up a lost flock of sheep, but were hampered by Hoist malfunctioning. {{storylink|Little Bot Peep}} When [[Lad Pioneer|Teen Pioneer]] [[Wes]] visited the base and Wedge was reluctant to spend time with the boy due to low self-confidence, Whirl pointed out that Wedge was Wes's favorite Rescue Bot. {{Storylink|Driving a Wedge}} Boulder accompanied the recruits to the planet [[Parvus]] where they rescued the last surviving [[Galax]]. {{storylink|The Big, Small Rescue}}<br />
<br />
[[File:RBA-Fright At The Museum-Shades.jpg|thumb|right|350px|"Real badasses eat chocolate chip cookies, I'ma gonna get that tattooed across my back in Old English font."]]<br />
When Hot Shot and Wedge decided to compete over who was qualified to get into the [[Heroes of Cybertron (cards)|Heroes of Cybertron]] card game, Medix and Whirl acted as commentators for the building and Cube challenges they undertook. {{storylink|Battle of the Bots}} While trying to round up a small rock alien that had gotten loose in the academy, Whirl temporarily got trapped in her locker. {{storylink|About a Rock}} The recruits tried to keep secret the fact a dog had followed them home after the last rescue, only to discover that the dog was actually trying to alert them to the fact they'd missed someone who needed rescuing. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Whirl took part in rescuing [[Dr Hart]] from a runaway iceberg. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}}<br />
<br />
Inspired by Blades, Whirl took it upon herself to get into cheerleading. Though the other recruits weren't as enthused, they soon discovered that the skills they were learning were helpful during rescues, and began practicing in earnest. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}} When Boulder assigned the recruits smartphones so they could familiarize themselves with the devices, they began neglecting their lessons and chores, until they realized it was causing problems with their rescues. {{storylink|Screen Time}} During a trip to a museum in Milford, Whirl naturally assumed they'd encounter a heist in progress, and turned out to be right. Her policing skills resulted in her catching a thief in the act, and she was able to ferry him to the Griffin Rock jail. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}<br />
<br />
[[File:AllAtSea Whirl mermaid.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"You don't taste like broccoli; broccoli tastes like butt."]]<br />
When their teachers went missing on a space mission, the recruits worked together to pilot the ''Sigma'' and mount a rescue. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} Boulder had the recruits cleaning up a park, though as Whirl spent the whole time chasing a rogue plastic bag, she didn't get much trash. The same thing happened during the follow up mission at the bottom of the sea, though Whirl did accidentally make herself look like a mermaid using seaweed. She and the other recruits later had to rescue Medix from a shark. {{storylink|All at Sea}} With the teachers on another off-planet mission, the recruits were left to tidy up the Academy, and had to deal with Hoist's [[Scrub-A-Dubber]] when it went rogue. {{storylink|All Washed Up}}<br />
<br />
Heatwave suggested that the bored students try their hands at being teachers for the day. None of the recruits seemed to do well, with Whirl's lecture on transforming boring Heatwave and Cody, but their teachers later put what they'd learned to use during a real rescue. {{storylink|Who's Teaching Who?}} An attempt to rescue a balloon from a tree turned into a major disaster when the recruits went in without a plan. {{storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}} A fantasy simulation saw the recruits trying to corral a dragon, until they worked out that the dragon was actually trying to help, {{storylink|The Mystery of Dragon Mountain}} and yet another sim turned into chaos thanks to Hot Shot combining it with his game, forcing the recruits to deal with giant hedgehogs. {{storylink|Hack Attack}}<br />
<br />
Whirl and the other recruits found their rescues complicated by Medix's attempts to loosen up after they suggested he was a stick in the mud. {{storylink|Life of the Party}} Whirl learned that the recruits were getting a new teacher, but was too excited to find out who. It turned out to be [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]]! {{storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}} Grimlock took Whirl and the others on a field trip to [[Wayward Island|Dino Island]]. After the GroundBridge was damaged, Whirl had to tow Grimlock back to the mainland. {{storylink|Dino Hard}} Assigned a stealth mission by Chase, Whirl and Hoist managed to find Tough Luck Chuck hiding in a barn, but were caught by Chase after Whirl accidentally demolished the structure. {{storylink|Buddy Cop}}<br />
<br />
[[File:DigFest Whirl signalling.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"Ooohhh you hit that, gimme high-five!"]]<br />
The recruits had to rescue some penguins from an island, and Whirl came up with the idea of building a raft after their ability to transform was disabled by an electrical storm. {{storylink|Escape from Penguin Island}} Whirl was surprised to learn Hoist had cheated during a search and rescue test that led to the recruits taking part in an Old West simulation. {{storylink|All that Glitters}} A hunt for a downed satellite resulted in the recruits hiding out backstage at [[Dig Fest (event)|Dig Fest]] while trying to signal Wedge. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}} The recruits took part in [[Halloween]] festivities and ended up having to deal with a house fire. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}}<br />
<br />
Medix's confusion over a television commercial meant that the recruits had to mount a hasty coverup so he wouldn't blow their secret to all of Milford {{storylink|Monster Savings}} Whirl and the others got a tune stuck in their heads, impairing their performance on a training exercise. They managed to forget the tune, but this caused problems on a mission to the planet [[Herbu]], as it was the code needed for the [[Virtual Sonic Fence]] Hoist needed to use to stop the [[karkinoid beetle]]. {{storylink|Tune Out}} A trip to survey a geyser field saw the recruits having to deal with a swarm of [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}}<br />
<br />
[[File:WhirlsWiseBotQuest Whirl rotor blades.jpg|thumb|left|350px|"Woohoo! Burn all the babies!"]]<br />
Whirl and the other recruits took part in essential maintenance as directed by [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], unlike Wedge who spent the whole time trying to impress his hero, and they were therefore fully functional for the following rescue drill. {{Storylink|Bee Prepared}} After Whirl failed to master a tricky maneuver, Blades told her about a Rescue Bot guru who had once helped him. Whirl set out to find the guru, unaware that Blades had made the story up, and along the way made a series of rescues. The rescues gave her the skills to master the maneuver, which she was later able to use to rescue her fellow recruits. {{storylink|Whirl's Wise-Bot Quest}}<br />
<br />
Hot Shot's careless actions in ejecting his junk into space had Whirl and the others following his lead, resulting an a huge junk meteor that threatened the satellite they were trying to repair. {{Storylink|Flying Hunk-A-Junk}} A mission deep undersea forced the recruits to rely on each other as they rescued an automated drone from deep sea wildlife. {{storylink|Into the Depths}} Whirl joined the hunt for some dogs when Hoist's new comms system turned out to annoy animals. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} The recruits struggled to complete a rescue sim until Hot Shot realized they'd been trying to stop the disaster instead of saving the people. {{storylink|The Ice Wave}}<br />
<br />
As graduation drew closer, the recruits successful competed against their teachers in a relay race carrying a pretend rescue victim. Whirl and the others were surprised and saddened when Hot Shot opted to abandon his Rescue Bot training and return to Cybertron to compete in the Cube finals. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} The remaining recruits decided to tune in to the final using the [[space bridge]] to boost the holo-emitter screen. Unfortunately this led to the creation of a slowly growing energon bubble which engulfed the academy. It was only when Hot Shot returned that the recruits were able to burst the bubble. The recruits were able to graduate from year one of their learning. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}<br />

: Whirl's first toy is sized similarly to the previous Megabots line, at about 11 inches tall, transforming into a helicopter in a couple of "Easy 2 Do Conversion" steps. In either bot or vehicle mode, pressing a button on her rotor causes it to spin. She comes packaged in robot mode, and helpfully, a cutout in the package allows this gimmick to be tried in-store without removing her from the package.

:''Quickshadow is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''<br />
[[File:PlusOne Quickshadow.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Allons-y, Let's Go!]]<br />
<br />
Sleek, stylish, and secretive, '''Quickshadow''' is a covert operations specialist sent by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] to assist the [[Rescue Bot]]s on [[Griffin Rock]]. There's absolutely no denying she's ''very'' effective at her job, with a plethora of built-in spy-gear that lets her tackle missions with ease.<br />
<br />
In fact, she may be a little ''too'' effective, as she's not exactly the easiest bot to work with. She's not antagonistic (though she is overconfident bordering on arrogant), she's just very used to working on her own without backup, both in personnel and planning, needing to get a job done right, fast, and on the first try. The heavily-team-based dynamic of [[Rescue Force Sigma-17]] is very tough for her to adjust to. Perhaps Optimus sent her to learn from them just as much as they could learn from her....<br />
<br />
She has operated on [[Earth]] for a long time, under a long list of code names, including '''Slipchain''', '''Bootlatch''', and '''Overdrive'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Fiction==<br />
===''Rescue Bots'' cartoon===<br />
{{voiceactor|[[Alex Kingston]] (English)}}, [[Beatrice Caggiula]] (Italian)<br />
[[File:RBGhostInTheMachine Boulder and Blades carry Quickshadow.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]<br />
[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] assigned Quickshadow to [[Earth]] {{storylink|Arrivals}} and allowed her to scan the car from the [[Maven Danger]] films. {{storylink|Plus One (RB)|Plus One}} One of her early assignments was to spy on [[Madeline Pynch]]. {{storylink|Cody's 11}} <br />
<br />
Quickshadow hijacked the [[GroundBridge]], resulting in [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]], [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and two humans landing up in the [[Sahara]]. {{storylink|Bridge Building}} She again encountered the two Rescue Bots when she hijacked the GroundBridge to the mainland near [[Griffin Rock]]. After saving a driver from plunging off a bridge, she followed Heatwave and Chase back to Griffin Rock, but maintained her cover in vehicle mode. Escaping the firehouse through a tunnel, she saved a pedestrian and rescued [[CeCe Greene]] from a bank vault before the rescue team cornered her in a parking garage. She revealed to them who she was and that she'd been sent by Optimus. {{storylink|Arrivals}} After she took part in a rescue, Quickshadow attempted to share her experience with the other Rescue Bots, and Heatwave placed her in charge for a mission transporting [[Phodolite]] through town. Though she came up with a plan, she didn't have a backup when the plan went wrong, and ended up assisting when Chase provided a solution to the problem. Believing the team had nothing to learn from her, she instead opted to instead go to the mainland to instruct [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] and [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]]. {{storylink|Plus One (RB)|Plus One}}<br />
<br />
Quickshadow was asked by [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] to help with [[Halloween|Earliween]] preparations, however when she arrived in Griffin Rock, she found herself the subject of an attempted theft by [[Evan (RB)|Evan]] and [[Myles]] who mistook her for the car from Maven Danger. Following their next attempt, involving a device which overrode control of her alternate mode, she inadvertently exposed the Rescue Bots' secret to the pair. They attempted to use the video to force Quickshadow to turn herself over to them, however with the help of the townsfolk, she turned the tables and took Evan and Myles into custody. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (RB)|Ghost in the Machine}}<br />
<br />
To Quickshadow's relief (Blurr and Salvage were really annoying) the day came to open the new [[Rescue Bot Training Center]]. After the base was transformed, she accepted Blurr's challenge to race around a slot car track, after having been shrunk using a [[Minimizer]], and easily beat him. Unfortunately the base's computer then refused to deshrink the pair. {{storylink|The More Things Change...}} With the base's holographic disguise also failing, she and Blurr made their way to the front door, evading the cleaning equipment with some help from [[Servo (RB)|Servo]]. They succeeded in exiting through a small hatch and restarted the hologram projectors once the cloaking device had been replaced. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}<br />
<br />
When Madeline Pynch stumbled on a deposit of [[Energon]], Quickshadow enlisted the rescue team for help in infiltrating the tycoon's mainland compound. As part of the plan, she posed as a relief car when Pynch's car broke down, allowing her to drive into the compound where she could release [[Servo (RB)|Servo]] who planted a device to let the team control the security systems. Following the successful recovery of the Energon and other tech, Pynch tried to make a getaway in Quickshadow, who promptly drove her to jail in Griffin Rock. {{storylink|Cody's 11}}<br />
<br />
During a brief visit to Griffin Rock, Quickshadow had the intention of making a quick exit when Maven Danger arrived, but was spotted by the actor and had to remain to avoid suspicion. She found herself being driven on a rescue by Maven, and when it later turned out that the whole visit was actually so Maven's agent [[Skip Scobble]] could steal a rare book, Quickshadow drove Mr. Danger to the nearest egress from the island. {{storylink|A Brush with Danger}}<br />
<br />
When [[Dani Burns|Dani]]'s test space mission ran into trouble, Chase asked Quickshadow to keep Ground Control in the dark while the rescue team used the ''[[Sigma]]'' to head to the rescue. {{storylink|To Infinity... And Back}}<br />
<br />
Quickshadow and High Tide were assigned as Blades's team to protect the [[Scrubber Initiative]] in [[Faxian]], [[China]], and arrived well before their new team leader. When the [[Morocco virus]], piloting a new [[MorBot]], entered the city and stole the lab's new [[resiliency patch]], Quickshadow was the first to intercept it via flying body tackle, slamming them both into a building. However, the resiliency patch allowed it to shrug off the blow, while the previously-stolen speed booster let it escape Quickshadow's capture cables. {{storylink|Upgrades}} Following the Virus's defeat (and the rebuilding of the GroundBridge network that stranded the separated Rescue Bots for a little while) she joined the whole team back at the mainland Training Center, where Optimus finalized everyone's new assignments, and everyone posed for a new family photo. {{storylink|Transformations}}<br />
<br />
===2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===<br />
Following the restoration of Cybertron from the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Quickshadow was one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. {{Storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
[[File:RB-Quickshadow-head-lightpiping.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]<br />
*Unlike most of the Rescue Bots, Quickshadow's driver's seat is positioned on the right side of her vehicle mode's interior. This matches her accent, as most vehicles manufactured in the United Kingdom use this configuration.<br />
* Quickshadow's animation model includes a small blue square on the back of her head which resembles a [[light-piping]] window. This is a little weird. None of her toys have a light-piping feature.<br />
* In [[Arrivals|her introduction]], she says "you may call me Quickshadow," and it's [[Plus One (RB)|subsequently revealed]] that she has had multiple aliases, explaining that "Optimus insisted that my real name never be used." Chase surmises "until now, apparently." Quickshadow doesn't directly confirm this simply adding that "he (Optimus) gave me new orders." This still leaves open the possibility of "Quickshadow" being another alias.<br />

Salvage and Blurr's ship crashed on [[Earth]] as the result of a meteor storm. While Salvage was attempting to save some cavemen, Blurr took the opportunity to try to take off in the ship without him, leading to the pair fighting and then being forced into their [[stasis pod]]s when the meteors began hitting the cave. They remained in stasis for some ten thousand years, and due to the damage Salvage's pod sustained, when he was awoken he had no memory of events after the crash — as a result Blurr was able to claim the credit for saving the cavemen. He and Blurr met [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and were invited to join [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]'s team of Rescue Bots for training. After Salvage successfully helped out in a rescue by constructing an electromagnet, the truth came out about who rescued the cavemen. {{storylink|The New Recruits}}<br />
<br />
Salvage proceeded well in his training, watching all the training videos [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] made and going on a mission to rescue a window washer. He helped [[Boulder]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] construct [[ERVIS]] and install it in the ''[[Sigma]]''. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy (episode)|Rescue Bots Academy}} After Blurr stole the ship, Salvage had to rescue Cody from the hangar. A solar flare knocked out the island's power and left a satellite plummeting towards the island, but Salvage was able to rig up a communications device and reach Blurr, allowing the rest of the team to talk him through destroying the satellite. He and Blurr was subsequently made Rescue Bots and assigned elsewhere by Optimus. {{storylink|A New Hero}}<br />

Blurr and Salvage joined some other recruits to contact the Rescue Bots for some tips, only to find the Bots on Griffin Rock were only able to sing. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}} Salvage and Blurr were on their way to Griffin Rock with High Tide when they had to stop and rescue [[Woodrow Burns]]. They were in sight of the island when it suddenly disappeared, leaving a number of surprised humans to rescue. {{storylink|Now and Then}} They were soon contacted by Chief Burns, and had to clear out the crater where Griffin Rock used to be, so the island could be relocated there after flying back from the [[Arctic]] where it had been teleported. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}<br />
<br />
Three years on, the Rescue Bots received plans from Optimus for a new [[Rescue Bot Training Center|mainland base]]. Salvage constructed the mainland end of a [[GroundBridge]], although the first test resulted in Heatwave and Chase being deposited in the [[Sahara]]. {{storylink|Bridge Building}} Salvage was called in to look at Griffin Rock's aging communications tower, and thought he'd have more luck building them an Argon Beam Coagulator. He managed to get the tower to work, though the top fell off. {{storylink|Part-Time Heroes}}<br />
<br />
Salvage was putting the finishing touches on the Rescue Arena when the opening day for the Rescue Bot training center arrived. Rather than stick around for the party, he opted to head to Griffin Rock to check the scrapyard for possible tech, and ended up being stuck there when the GroundBridge malfunctioned. {{storylink|The More Things Change...}} He persevered in trying to fix the bridge, but didn't have any luck until the problem was fixed at the other end. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}<br />
<br />
While the Rescue Team practiced in the Training Center, Blurr and Salvage covered for them in Griffin Rock though their unorthodox techniques resulted in the Burns family coming back early to help them out. {{storylink|Uninvited Guest}} Salvage alerted the rescue team when he detected strange readings off the coast of Griffin Rock. The readings turned out to be [[Energon]], however when the Energon later disappeared, Salvage was unable to pick up any readings from it. {{storylink|Cody's 11}}<br />
<br />
As part of the reassignments to protect the [[Scrubmite|Scrubber Initiative]], Salvage and Servo ended up as Heatwave's team looking after Griffin Rock, though Salvage's ideas of helping included turning the traffic lights purple. He served as transport for Chief and Kade when the [[Morocco virus]] attacked the laboratory. {{storylink|Upgrades}} To try and prevent Morocco from abducting Cody, Salvage and the rest of Heatwave's team formed a line of defense on the beach and fought a swarm of [[Scrubmite|Scrubbers]]. He was later present when Optimus Prime reassigned the team to new posts. {{storylink|Transformations}}<br />
<br />
===2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===<br />
Following the restoration of Cybertron from the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Salvage was one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. {{Storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}<br />

'''Boulder'''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> huge frame and powerful alternate mode are his greatest assets when it comes to his primary job of being the Rescue Bots' engineer. His keen reasoning ability and engineering nous are also something he shares with his human partner, [[Graham Burns]], with whom he has formed a mutual bond to the point where they each can anticipate what the other is thinking as they're forced to improvise as part of a rescue effort. There's another side to Boulder, however — his gentle nature and fascination by everything he encounters on planet [[Earth]]. From the flora and fauna to human culture, Boulder can't get enough of it. <br />

He is also sometimes partnered with [[Walker Cleveland]].<br />

[[File:RescueBotsRollOut Boulder.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]<br />
As part of [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]'s team of Rescue Bots, Boulder was the super-strong one. When they received a message from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], they jumped in their spaceship and joined him on [[Earth]], at which point Boulder was given a bulldozer as an alternate mode. As the Rescue Bots headed for [[Griffin Rock]], Blades accidentally chopped down a tree with his rotors, but Boulder was able to catch it. They eventually reached the [[Fire Station Prime|fire station]], where Optimus introduced them to [[Charlie Burns|Chief Charlie]]. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Roll Out}} Some time later, [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and Boulder were on their way to [[Fire Station Prime|Prime Fire Station]] to join the team when they happened upon a flash flood at a construction site. Boulder used a metal sheet to improvise a ramp so that Chase could jump the flood, and the two Rescue Bots were able to get construction worker [[Walker Cleveland|Walker]] to safety. After a freak wave washed away Chase and [[Jack Tracker|Hunter]], Boulder managed to beat them downstream by taking the direct route, and felled a tree for Chase to grab on to. The four of them later made it to the fire station, where Walker joined the team as Boulder's partner. {{storylink|Rapid Rescue}}<br />

[[File:UnfinishedBusiness protoBoulder.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Paint apps were hard to come by in those days.]]<br />
Boulder was part of a team of Rescue Bots who were finishing a routine patrol in space when they received a distress call. Investigating, they found they'd been marked as lunch by an [[Energon eater]], and had to put themselves in stasis and power down their ship to escape it. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} Sometime later, the ''[[Sigma]]'' received a transmission from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and landed on [[Earth]]. After dropping the bombshell that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was no more, Optimus assigned the team to [[Griffin Rock]] to work with the Burns family. The four Rescue Bots were presented to the public by [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] at a ceremony, following which Boulder and his new partner, [[Graham Burns]], drove to the [[Griffin Rock natural history museum|museum]] to attend to a fire. To Boulder's dismay, he had to ruin the aesthetics of the plaza outside the museum by moving planters. He was impressed by the humans' culture, admiring their paintings. That night, [[Cody Burns]] discovered the Rescue Bots' secret, and after they helped stop a rogue robot ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', Chief Burns revealed the truth to the rest of the team. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}<br />
<br />
Boulder and Graham had trouble working together, as Graham assumed a robot from space wouldn't need help from a primitive human. After [[Mount Magma]] started spewing lava and threatening the island, Cody managed to get the pair communicating so they could locate the artificial mountain's release control. Boulder was also able to map the underground cave system when the lava started pouring into it, threatening the bunker under the fire station. {{storylink|Under Pressure}}<br />
<br />
[[File:FlobstersOnParade Boulder catches Flobsters.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]<br />
During an attempt to rescue [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]] from his out-of-control car, Boulder and Graham improvised a spike strip, which turned out to be ineffective. When [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] later started hogging the limelight with a new scoop claw, Boulder didn't seem as put out at the other Rescue Bots and even thanked Blades. He and the others rescued Blades after the copter-bot was hit by lightning. {{storylink|Hotshots}} Boulder was happy enough to take part in the technology parade during the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]], despite his problems in maintaining the guise of an ordinary robot, and later helped stop the [[flobster]]s from destroying the town. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}}<br />
<br />
[[File:CodyOnPatrol nanite Boulder.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]<br />
After saving a truck from falling off a cliff, Boulder and the other Rescue Bots were subjected to a movie entitled ''[[The Natives of Tatooie]]'', which he didn't enjoy very much. After [[Huxley Prescott]] caused a massive panic, Boulder and Graham visited [[Perkins (RB)|Mr. Perkins]]'s farm to check for aliens, only to find cows instead. The Rescue Bots had to destroy Prescott's [[SETI]] dish when it threatened to destroy the island. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}} After a callout to rescue [[Neederlander|Mrs. Neederlander]]'s cat, Boulder was inspired to adopt his own pet. He and Blades visited the [[Griffin Rock Zoo|zoo]], where they tried to adopt the lion which Boulder dubbed [[Whiskers]]. After chasing Whiskers around the town all night, Boulder helped lure some lemurs back to the zoo. Cody gave him a potted plant as a more suitable pet. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}}<br />
<br />
Boulder tried unsuccessfully to catch [[Harrison (RB)|Mr. Harrison]] in his scoop. After executing a daring plan to stop a [[nanite]]-controlled [[Scrapmaster]], Boulder himself was taken over and rampaged through the park, knocking down trees. Cody's plan to use the [[Griffin Rock power plant|power plant]] to get rid of the nanites worked, and Boulder set about replanting the trees. {{Storylink|Cody on Patrol}} Boulder was working to repair a bridge when a motorist drove off it. Cody roped the Rescue Bots into helping look after a [[Robo-Baby]]. When the baby escaped during a call-out, Cody and the bots tracked it to a wind farm, where Boulder tried to scale a windmill to save it, but missed catching it when it fell. Luckily [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] caught it. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}}<br />
<br />
[[File:ChristmasInJuly Boulder raise the roof.jpg|thumb|left|240px]]<br />
During a heatwave, Boulder read up on seasons but was confused by the concept. His questions prompted Cody to get Doc Greene to set up a weather machine, and Boulder got to experience snow, though he proved inept at aiming snowballs. When one of his snowballs sent the machine out of control, he and the other Rescue Bots swung into action. Boulder helped Doc Greene get the weather machine back to his lab and saved City Hall's roof. He later used a well-aimed snowball to save [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] from going over a waterfall. {{storylink|Christmas in July}} Boulder and the other Rescue Bots were invited on the Burns' annual fishing trip on the ''[[Darby Ava]]'', during which they encountered and fought a [[shark submarine|mechanical shark]]. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RB)|Deep Trouble}}<br />
<br />
The Rescue Bots had to help stop out-of-control technology one foggy day, when the Griffin Rock mainframe was hacked into. Boulder mistook a street sweeper for an [[elephant]] and trashed it. {{storylink|Return of the Dino Bot}} When [[Doctor Morocco]] turned up with his [[MorBot]] and threatened to overshadow the Rescue Bots, the team was forced to compete with the doctor's invention to prove themselves worthy. Thanks to Morocco's machinations, they failed and were stood down from service. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} Boulder maintained his optimism, and used the space time he now had to practice his painting. After being called out to a fire at the lab, the Rescue Bots got the chance to exact some payback on the MorBot. The team was subsequently reinstated as Griffin Rock's rescue service. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}<br />
<br />
Boulder joined Cody and Graham in visiting the [[Hall of Inspiration]] and watched Doc Greene demonstrate the [[Minimizer]]. When the team later turned up to a break-in at the Hall, he, Blades, and Heatwave were shrunk to the size of ants by the device and ended up in the sewer. Though Boulder was fascinated by the experience, they had to brave huge rats and a torrent of water before making it to the [[Griffin Rock dam]], where they rescued [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and alerted the rest of the team to the fact that the dam was near bursting. Cody later used the Minimizer to return them to their normal sizes. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} Boulder helped save [[Wild (RB)|Captain Wild]]'s ship and search for "tunnel 15" in the tunnels below Griffin Rock. This led the team to discover [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]]'s ''[[Midgard]]'' at the bottom of an ocean trench, and they helped her seal the methane vent causing the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]]. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}<br />
<br />
[[File:RulesAndRegulations Boulder's dash head.jpg|thumb|right|270px|We're just leaving out all those Beast Wars episodes where he fell on Tarantulas.]]<br />
After the daring rescue of Huxley Prescott by the four bots, Chief left them with strict orders not to go to [[Griffin Crest]]. After receiving an apparent SOS from Cody, Boulder and the others went there anyway and ended up immobilized by an [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] field, leaving them in need of a rescue. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}} Boulder and the other three Bots were washed out to sea with Cody and ended up on an inhabited island. Their attempts to build him shelter and gather food were less than successful, but they did manage to find traces of the ''[[Oaken Crow]]'', which led to them finding the ship and getting off the island. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}} Chasing a crashed meteorite on [[Wayward Island]], the team ran into [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. Boulder, Heatwave and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] checked out the meteorite and were unwittingly exposed to an alien virus. They slowly became to lose the ability to move or speak, and it was only through the work of Bumblebee, Blades and the humans that a cure was found. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}}<br />
<br />
Boulder was concerned by the news that Graham had been accepted to the [[Gremsky Technical Institute]], but was supportive of his partner. While they pursued a giant blob of [[Squilsh]], they discussed Graham's decision. The pair cooperated in an attempt to stop the space slime and eventually worked out that they had to shock it with alternating current. After Boulder and Graham did so, saving those it had swallowed, Graham decided not to go to Gremsky Tech after all. {{storylink|You've Been Squilshed}} After [[Tracer (RB)|tracer bugs]] teleported most of the townfolk to parts unknown, Boulder discovered the bugs were sensitive to sound, and devised a way to use his sonar to disable them all. He and the other three bots then tracked down the cavern where the townspeople had been sent and mounted a rescue. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}}<br />
<br />
[[File:LittleWhiteLies Boulder sonar.jpg|thumb|left|260px|Ping!]]<br />
When an infestation of what appeared to be ghosts hit Griffin Rock, Boulder was fascinated by this new form of life and attempted unsuccessfully to make contact. As it turned out, they were just [[hologram]]s anyway. {{storylink|The Haunting of Griffin Rock}} During a Kade-initiated race, Boulder accidentally knocked down the statue of [[Horace Burns]]. When Chase and the Chief went missing, Boulder and the rest of the team searched all night, and were eventually led to the lead mine. Boulder used his sonar to track movement in the mine, eventually finding Chase and helping him break out. {{storylink|Little White Lies}}<br />
<br />
The Rescue Bots were forced to be extra attentive to their cover as robots when Frankie started filming them for a school project. It made Boulder's rescues during an earthquake harder. The team tracked the source of the quakes to the tunnels under the town, but while looking for Frankie and Heatwave, Boulder almost caused a huge cave-in with his sonar. {{storylink|Shake Up}} After Boulder took part in a rescue at a pyrotechnics factory, Cody got a [[repulsor badge]] that gave him superhero powers. Boulder was helping with a tire change when the truck's load came loose—he stopped two of the concrete pipes and Cody stopped the third. The Rescue Bots were relegated to cleanup until Cody's badge overloaded, trapping him in a bubble of energy until Boulder managed to extract the badge. {{storylink|Rescue Boy}}<br />
<br />
Boulder helped Graham with his engineering homework. He, the other Rescue Bots, Cody and Frankie were sent back in time to [[1939]] in a time travel accident. There they fell into the hands of a team of scientists headed by Doctor Morocco who performed experiments on them. Morocco was getting to the point of dissecting the four Bots when Optimus and Bumblebee came to their rescue. On returning to the present, they found that Morocco had taken over the town with the aid of his MorBots. {{storylink|It's a Bot Time}} The four bots managed to elude the MorBots and soon established that leaving [[Dither]] in the past had resulted in the changed. After an encounter with an alternate version of the Burns family, the Rescue Bots returned to 1939 and retrieved Dither, returning the timeline to normal. {{storylink|Bot to the Future}}<br />
<br />
[[File:SkyForest Boulder covered in excrement.jpg|thumb|right|300px|For once, this is exactly how it looks.]]<br />
With Doc Greene now in on the Rescue Bots' secret, Boulder teamed up with him to work on inventions using Cybertronian technology. The [[Vacuum Accelerator]] they developed proved erratic, transporting the [[Mobile Headquarters]] to the top of [[Mount Griffin]] with Cody, Heatwave, Chase and Boulder along for the ride. {{storylink|Road Trip}} During a chase, Boulder became coated in manure, but didn't seem too bothered about it. The Rescue Bots helped construct Frankie Greene's [[Sky Forest (structure)|Sky Forest]], only to have to rescue the town's citizens when the plant life grew out of control. {{storylink|Sky Forest (episode)|Sky Forest}} When Chief Burns was ill, the four bots had to contend with Kade appointing himself new team leader, and Cody being aged into an adult in a lab experiment. {{storylink|One for the Ages}}<br />
<br />
When an iceberg was discovered that was actually a frozen [[S.S. Isolde|ship]] carrying a dangerous [[Sub-Zero Expander]], Boulder 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. {{storylink|Tip of the Iceberg}} When Griffin Rock was hit by a major snow storm, Boulder took part in rescuing a trapped skier from Mount Griffin. He also assisted in helping Graham when Blades and Cody were trapped in a virtual reality game. {{storylink|A Virtual Disaster}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Spellbound Boulder shhh.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Be vewy, vewy quiet. We're <s>hunting wabbits</s> evading a mob."]]<br />
Boulder along with the rest of the team was mesmerized by a cellphone and sent to mine [[Blossom Vale]]. He snapped out of it when his cellphone was broken, and was able to help Cody evade the hypnotized townsfolk. The pair freed everyone from the influence of the cellphones by toppling the island's cell tower, and Boulder believed the vale could be restored with the aid of a painting of it he'd done earlier. {{storylink|Spellbound}} The team was roped into participating in Huxley Prescott's reality show, however when Prescott manufactured emergencies to make the show more exciting, it caused a fire which endangered the town, and the show was shut down. Boulder later had to help deal with the Squilsh which Prescott had unleashed on the dam. {{storylink|Prescott's Bots}}<br />
<br />
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 a monster was spotted during a star-gazing expedition with Cody, Boulder and the other Rescue Bots helped the boy hunt for the beast, resulting in an encounter with it at an old cannery. It transpired that the "Magic Meat" that [[H.B. Luskey|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}}<br />
<br />
[[File:SpaceBots Boulder and hippos.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]<br />
When [[Woodrow Burns]] visited the island in search of aliens, Boulder helped Cody tail his uncle to a mine. The two humans were spirited away by an excavator, and Boulder had to join the rest of the team in finding them in a cavern deep underground and rescuing them from giant spiders. {{storylink|What Lies Below}} After Blades, Boulder and the three older siblings were separated from the others, Boulder used his sonar to try to find routes out from the caverns, and they eventually hit upon using the sonar to signal the rest of the team. Once the team was reunited, they escaped from underground by blasting themselves out of the top of Mount Magma. {{storylink|What Rises Above}}<br />
<br />
The Rescue Bots had to bring out their spaceship for another mission to save Graham and Doc Greene after the space elevator they were on was hit by an asteroid. {{storylink|Space Bots}} Boulder managed to deal with a runaway [[mechanical bull]] by putting it into sleep mode. When a mishap occurred while transporting the creature to the [[Island of Misfit Tech]], he, Chase and Blades ended up tussling with a prototype Scrapmaster. {{storylink|The Island of Misfit Tech}} The town's new central computer [[Vigil]] was unable to control the four Rescue Bots, so when it attempted to take control of Griffin Rock, the Bots were able to get the rest of the team into its vault to stop it. {{storylink|The Vigilant Town}}<br />
<br />
[[File:RescueDog Bots rescue dog.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Performing Shakespeare probably wasn't my best idea.]]<br />
Boulder and the other Rescue Bots went on a nature hike, during which the hikers' [[Buddy Bracelet]]s got locked together. Boulder consequently got to carry Mrs. Neederlander and her cat around as he and Graham tried to wrangle snakes. {{storylink|Buddy System}} Boulder, Blades and Heatwave accompanied Graham and Cody to Wayward Island, where they discovered a lodestone super-magnet that was causing metal objects to be pulled towards it all the way from Griffin Rock. {{storylink|In Search of the Griffin's Nest}}<br />
<br />
When Chase appeared to join with Evan and Myles during their crime spree, Boulder and the rest of the rescue team found themselves going against him. He later rejoined the team and the four Rescue Bots disabled the [[Tech Wrecker]] Evan and Myles had created. {{storylink|Bots and Robbers}} Following the rescue of a dog, the Rescue Bots were joined in their work by [[Noble (RB)|Noble]], at least until the dogs real owner turned up to claim him. {{storylink|Rescue Dog}} The team had to deal with a storm without Heatwave, when their leader was called to the mainland to acquire a second alternate mode. {{storylink|Changes}}<br />
<br />
After the town's midwinter presents were sent to the bottom of the ocean in a ferry accident, Boulder and the rest of the team took on the mantle of the [[Rider of Midwinter]] and delivered loaves of bread to the townsfolk. {{storylink|The Riders of Midwinter}} Boulder's attempt to plant "[[Leafy]]" went awry when a [[Power Planter]] was struck by lightning and ran wild. After being forced to respond to a number of emergencies caused by the device, the team managed to lure it into a trap with [[Boil Coil]]s, and Boulder was able to plant Leafy in peace. {{storylink|Movers and Shakers}}<br />
<br />
[[File:OddBotOut Boulder and painting.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]<br />
While Chief was away, the team found itself under Woodrow's leadership. Also the mayor got a pod of [[dolphin]]s stuck in the wetlands, much to Boulder's disgust. {{storylink|Chief Woodrow}} Boulder joined in the hunt for a relic, and he and the rest of the team ended up rescuing people from the device's effects, until Optimus Prime and Blades found and deactivated the relic. {{storylink|Odd Bot Out}} The rescue team was roped into completing a rail tunnel to the mainland, mainly because Mayor Luskey regarded the Bots as heavy machinery. When the [[Griffin Rock Express]] went out of control, the Bots had to rescue everyone on board, with the help of Frankie and her phasing technology. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Express}}<br />
<br />
Following a game of [[Rescue Ball]] which was interrupted by an impromptu rescue, Chase and the others found that Blades was acting strangely. They discovered why when they were abducted by Dr. Morocco and replaced by duplicates as Blades had been earlier. Morocco erased their memories and convinced them he had been appointed their Earth liaison by Optimus Prime. The Rescue Bots were promptly sent on a mission to mine gold under Griffin Rock, which barely got started before they trigged a methane explosion, and were confronted by the "criminal" Burns family. {{storylink|Double Villainy}}<br />
<br />
The suspicious Bots were taken back to the fire house, where the evidence soon convinced them that the Burns family was on their side and they'd been misled by Morocco. Unfortunately the methane explosion cause the island to begin to sink, and given the choice between helping out or regaining their memories, the Bots chose the former option. With the help of some tech from Doc Greene, the team was able to raise the island once again, and Morocco was forced to restore their memories. {{storylink|Rise of the Heroes}}<br />
<br />
[[File:BigGame TriBouldertops.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]<br />
During a routine inspection by Optimus, the team ended up heading to Wayward Island to investigate a pterodactyl. They found a group of dinosaurs which chased them into a tar pit, and they had to be rescued by Optimus Prime. Once they established what the dinos were upset about, the team was able to get them to return to the underground cavern they'd come from. {{storylink|Land Before Prime (episode)|Land Before Prime}} When Optimus became feral and was kidnapped by big game hunter [[Quint Quarry]], Boulder, Graham and the Greenes attempted to discover what had gone wrong with the Autobot leader. They concluded that a lack of energon had resulted in Optimus's new dinomode taking over, and once Boulder developed a patch, he scanned a new triceratops alternate mode to test it. Fortunately the cure worked, and Boulder and Graham took it to Quarry's island, where they restored Optimus and helped rescue the other Rescue Bots from Quarry. {{storylink|Big Game}}<br />
<br />
Following the accidental creation of four extra Kades, their squabbling caused an accident during a rescue, sending Boulder off the side of a cliff. Boulder and the team were later saved from a gas leak by the quintet of Kades. {{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}} Following a flooding disaster, Boulder accompanied Chase into space to again try to rescue the stricken spaceship they had encountered before their original trip to Earth, though they found the ship's crew was long gone. Again being attacked by the Energon eater, the pair successfully trapped it and returned with it to Earth. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}}<br />
<br />
[[File:BugsInTheSystem Cody on Boulder's shoulder.jpg|thumb|right|340px]]<br />
Boulder, Graham and Cody visited the Island of Misfit Tech to retrieve a stabilizer so that Doc Greene could activate a protective dome over the island, but unwittingly returned with Vigil as well. Boulder had trouble bringing the dome down after Vigil locked it in place, and pursued the rogue AI, only to end up buried under old cars in the scrapyard. {{storylink|No Place Like Dome}} As Graham tried to gain confidence to talk to [[Amy]], Boulder encouraged him. He and the other Rescue Bots had to deal with a swarm of mutant metal-eating army ants left behind by Doctor Morocco. {{storylink|Bugs in the System}}<br />
<br />
Boulder took up trying to learn tap dancing, though he didn't think he was very good at it. During a trip on the space elevator Asgard, Boulder switched bodies with Cody, and found he was a better tap dancer as a human. They were later switched back to their own bodies. {{storylink|Switcheroo}} Boulder and the rest of the team were shrunken down to microscopic size so they could enter Kade's body and retrieve the [[scrubmite]]s he'd accidentally ingested. {{storylink|Bot-Tastic Voyage}} Following Professor Baranova's abduction at the hands of Colonel Quarry, Boulder helped the other Rescue Bots scan dinosaur alternate modes so that they, plus Optimus, could masquerade as the dinobots Quarry wanted Doc Greene to build. They were taken to an island by Quarry and put through their paces, before he took them to a boat so he could ship them off to be sold. Luckily Blades, who'd been having trouble with his alternate mode, was able to rescue them and Quarry was arrested. {{Storylink|Quarry's Quarry}}<br />
<br />
[[File:WhatIThaw Boulder Ira feels.jpg|left|thumb|350px]]<br />
The team visited Wayward Island to search for an energon trace, but instead found a caveman frozen in ice. After the caveman proved to still be alive, the team tried to help him acclimatize to the modern world, and Boulder particularly empathized with "[[Ira]]", feeling a tinge of homesickness himself. After Ira failed to adapt, they had to return the caveman to Wayward Island. {{storylink|Did You See What I Thaw?}} The team had to cope with giant Kaiju created when Doc Greene's new projector was used to screen ''[[Humungado|Attack of Humungado]]'', and ended up using their dino modes to combat the beasts. {{storylink|The Attack of Humungado}}<br />
<br />
The mayor decided to honor the rescue team by holding [[Bot Appreciation Week]], however a clash in schedules resulted in the Burns family being off the island for the start. The Rescue Bots found they had to contend with the souvenir versions of themselves running amok thanks to Evan and Myles reprogramming them. {{storylink|All Bots Great and Small}} 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}}<br />
<br />
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 an island where Boulder unearthed a pirate ship containing the treasure and they were able to persuade the mayor to reinstate them. {{storylink|Pirates Ahoy}} The Rescue Bots found themselves being trained in marine rescues by [[High Tide]], and Boulder was given a surf board to use, though it almost resulted in him ending up at the bottom of the sea. He later took part in a rescue when an oil spill caught fire. {{storylink|Turning the Tide}} When the time traveler [[Jules Verne]] visited, Boulder helped apprehend Dr. Morocco. {{storylink|The Last of Morocco}}<br />
<br />
[[File:RescueBotsAcademy Boulder saves worker.jpg|thumb|right|350px]]<br />
When the Rescue Bots found two Autobots, [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] and [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]], on Wayward Island, Optimus assigned the team to train the two newcomers. Boulder seemed perfectly happy to, even when it turned out Blurr had been lying about his past. {{storylink|The New Recruits}} While Salvage helped out Boulder and Graham with creating and installing [[ERVIS]], Blurr proved less helpful, resulting in Boulder having to save a human after Blurr botched a rescue. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy (episode)|Rescue Bots Academy}} Searching for Blurr, Boulder and the rest of the team followed Servo back to the fire house to find Blurr had stolen the ''Sigma'' and Cody needed rescuing. After a solar flare knocked out the island's power, the town was only saved from a rogue satellite by Blurr, so the rescue team was somewhat better disposed towards him. {{storylink|A New Hero}}<br />
<br />
Boulder and Cody tried to help Servo adapt to pretending to be a robot, though their perceived lack of success was actually a result of Servo looking out for the mayor's dog [[Poopsie]]. {{storylink|Four-Legged Hero}} After finding a family of woodpeckers in Blossom Vale, Boulder roped the rest of the team into helping protect them, however it backfired when the rest of town found out and accidentally caused a fire in the grove. {{storylink|Endangered Species}}<br />
<br />
[[File:RobotsSinging Boulder's song.jpg|thumb|left|400px]]<br />
When Chase had to work as the dispatcher due to an injury, he sent Boulder and the rest of the team on several false alarms. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RB)|More than Meets the Eye}} When Doc Greene's [[Tone-O-Tuner]] caused everyone in town to sing instead of talk, Boulder took part in a video call to educate new recruits and sung about how much he loved Earth. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}}<br />
<br />
Boulder and the other Rescue Bots took part in the opening of a time capsule, during which a quantum crystal mishap resulted in the entire island being teleported to the [[Arctic]]. The four Bots had to deice the generators so that the island's dome could be raised. {{storylink|Now and Then}} As the team enacted a plan to fill the dome with floatium and fly the island back, the Rescue Bots had their work cut out keeping people safe. The journey continued, but the Rescue Bots were forced to use their own energon to power the dome. They successfully reached Griffin Rock's old location, and after some medical attention, the Rescue Bots recovered. Optimus gave them a new mission, to let the rest of the town in on their secret. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}<br />
<br />
Over the next three years, Boulder worked on his art and got to the point where he was selling his paintings online. Contact with Optimus gave them a mission to construct a new mainland base, so Boulder started working with Doc Greene and Graham to realize the plan, however work was delayed by an invasion by the [[Velgrox]] which resulted in the Rescue Bots being forced to reveal their secret to the townsfolk. {{storylink|New Normal}} Work continued apace, and soon a [[GroundBridge]] was completed. The first test saw Heatwave and Chase deposited in the [[Sahara]], resulting in Boulder, Doc and Graham having to do some reprogramming to get them back. The townsfolk, meanwhile, voted to keep the Rescue Bots' secret. {{storylink|Bridge Building}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Arrivals Boulder book club.jpg|thumb|right|290px]]<br />
Boulder's book club meeting was interrupted by an emergency involving a rocket. When Heatwave subsequently restricted the team to their official duties, Boulder contemplated setting up a book club at the fire house. It was not long after that the team encountered a new Rescue Bot named [[Quickshadow]]. {{storylink|Arrivals}} Boulder took part in a mission set up by Quickshadow to transport [[Phodolite]] through town, however when part of the load spilled, the rescue team had to rely on Chase's plan B when Quickshadow didn't have one herself. {{storylink|Plus One (RB)|Plus One}}<br />
<br />
Following a mishap in which the town pool froze over, Boulder opted to head to the library and apply for a library card. Unfortunately his attempt was disrupted when a [[Morocco virus|virus]] temporarily took over the library computers. {{storylink|Back to Virtual Reality}} When investors were looking at redeveloping the island, the Rescue Bots used Velgrox technology to make themselves invisible and pretend to be ghosts to scare them off. {{storylink|Vanishing Returns}}<br />
<br />
The team took part in [[Halloween|Earliween]] celebrations, and also came up with a plan to foil Evan and Myles when the pair tried to carnap Quickshadow. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (RB)|Ghost in the Machine}} When Whiskers was abducted from the zoo, the Rescue Bots used their dino modes as bait to lure big game hunter [[Thurston Chumley|Lord Chumley]]. Though they themselves were captured, they made the most of their situation, both finding Whiskers and bringing the rest of the team to help arrest Chumley. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RB)|Enemy of My Enemy}} Boulder helped Chase run for mayor by campaigning, however when Chase actually took office, the changes he made interfered with the team's ability to do their job. {{storylink|Mayor May Not}}<br />
<br />
[[File:AllSparkDay Boulder drum.jpg|thumb|left|390px]]<br />
After determining it was time to celebrate [[All Spark Day (event)|All Spark Day]], Boulder instead found himself helping with a sea rescue and pretending to be a [[Pasteur|stuffed frog]] to keep a giant-size [[CeCe Greene]] happy. With the help of the rest of town, the Bots got to celebrate All Spark Day after all. {{storylink|All Spark Day (episode)|All Spark Day}} When the town's communications tower required replacing, the team took on second jobs — Boulder attempted landscaping and garbage collection. The townsfolk later chipped in with enough cash to replace the tower. {{storylink|Part-Time Heroes}}<br />
<br />
Boulder attended the opening of the mainland [[Rescue Bot Training Center]], though rather than take part in the festivities, he and Graham worked on importing CeCe Greene's scan into the security system, only for the computer to put the base into lockdown. {{storylink|The More Things Change...}} The pair continued to try to debug the system until a suggestion from Cody led them to discover that CeCe's imprint had been added to the computer's personality by accident. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}<br />
<br />
During a series of motor races, the Bots had to first deal with a collapsing stand full of spectators, and then with runaway racers thanks to an errant invention. {{storylink|Hot Rod Bot}} Boulder found a bottle containing a document that suggested the Burns family were actually royalty, he regretted it when Kade was promptly crowned King. He hit the library and was eventually able to find a document that revealed that Horace Burns had actually turned down the throne. {{storylink|King Burns}} During the Pizza Pi Party, Boulder promised to team up with Frankie for the maths competition, though he was delayed installing new solar panels with Graham. When the town was threatened by out-of-control pizza dough, the pair joined the rest of the team in stopping it. {{storylink|Pizza Pi Party}}<br />
<br />
[[File:UninvitedGuest Boulder Servo find meteorite.jpg|thumb|right|290px]]<br />
While running practice drills in the Training Center, the team had to save a Cybertronian ship that crash-landed. Boulder set about repairing the ship while the others took the occupant, Bumblebee, on a tour of the center, however when it turned out an energon eater had also arrived aboard the ship, he joined the others in trying to catch it, and ended up in stasis after it attacked him. He was woken back up once the creature was captured. {{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. {{storylink|Camp Cody}}<br />
<br />
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}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Codys11 Boulder cell tower.jpg|thumb|left|230px]]<br />
When Madeline Pynch got hold of a chunk of Energon, Boulder realized that the [[Pynch-Cell]]s she was creating with it were unstable, and the rescue team put into action a plan to recover the Energon and arrest Pynch. Boulder acted as a comms tower so he and Graham could hijack the local cellular network and intercept Pynch's phone calls. {{storylink|Cody's 11}} The Bots found themselves having to maintain their robot disguises when [[Maven Danger]] stayed at the firehouse as research for his new movie, though it later turned out the visit was just so Maven's agent [[Skip Scobble]] could attempt to steal a rare book. {{storylink|A Brush with Danger}}<br />
<br />
When Dani's test space mission ran into trouble, the team headed into space in the ''Sigma'' to mount a rescue. {{storylink|To Infinity... And Back}} When Cody was trying to work out what sort of rescue worker to become, Boulder and Graham attempted without success to interest him in engineering. {{storylink|Family Business}}<br />
<br />
The team was surprised to discover a whole town in [[China]] knew about them, when they were called there to deal with some out-of-control [[Scrubmite|Scrubbers]]. Afterwards Optimus promptly reassigned them, with Boulder and Blurr being Chase's team protecting Professor Baranova's laboratory on the west coast. When it turned out the Morocco virus was back and had built a new MorBot, the team were unable to stop him from stealing technology from the lab. {{storylink|Upgrades}} The team came back from a hike to discover that Morocco was still around and had taken over the Training Center. After Blurr and Baranova reached the center, they were able to use the GroundBridge to bring Chase, Boulder and Graham in to help devirus the mainframe. Optimus later assigned Boulder and Graham to build a new human/Bot community on the west coast. {{storylink|Transformations}}<br />

[[File:IfAtFirst Boulder.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]<br />
Boulder supervised the new recruits as they attempted to pull Mrs. Rubio's car back onto the road. When [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]]'s cable was too short, Boulder helped out by holding Hoist's tow truck mode closer to the car. Hoist later made some new attachments for the recruits, but when the first test went horribly wrong, Boulder gave him the help and encouragement he needed to complete the devices and test them on a real rescue. {{storylink|If at First...}} Boulder had to create some new components for [[Tough Luck Chuck]] after the robot was badly damaged during a training exercise. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}}<br />
<br />
When the recruits were confused by Boulder having them plant flowers, he set up a farm rescue exercise to teach them about the importance of every part of nature. Though they failed several times, he encouraged them to keep at it, and they eventually carried out the exercise successfully. {{Storylink|Plan Bee}} Boulder had Hoist fix the launch tube system. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}} A giant statue of Boulder's face was carved into a mountain near Griffin Rock, alongside the faces of the other Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}}<br />
<br />
When Hoist was injured during a rescue mission, Boulder ordered him back to base to spend some time in a [[stasis pod]]. Hoist didn't spend enough time recuperating, resulting in Boulder having to order him back into the pod several times. {{storylink|Little Bot Peep}} Boulder took the recruits on a special mission to the planet [[Parvus]] to rescue the [[Galax]], since the cave it was in was too small for him to safely enter. {{Storylink|The Big, Small Rescue}} Heatwave and Boulder collected rock samples from an asteroid using the ''Sigma''. {{storylink|About a Rock}}<br />
<br />
The recruits successfully managed to conceal a dog from Boulder. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Boulder, Heatwave and Blades worked to prevent in a flood in Griffin Rock while the recruits rescued the townsfolk. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}} Boulder assigned the recruits the task of familiarizing themselves with the Earth technology known as smartphones, but they swiftly became absorbed with the devices, resulting in them almost botching a rescue. He later reclaimed the phones. {{Storylink|Screen Time}}<br />
<br />
During a mission to the ''Asgard'', the Rescue Bots got trapped outside and had to wait for the recruits to come to their rescue. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} Boulder had the recruits pick up trash in a variety of places including the sea bed. {{storylink|All at Sea}} The Rescue Bots were later on another urgent off-world mission. {{storylink|All Washed Up}} When Heatwave had the recruits be teachers for the day, Boulder and Blades decided to join the class and later employed what they'd learned during a rescue. {{storylink|Who's Teaching Who?}} Boulder and the other teachers were away from the academy when a dinosaur got loose in it, leaving Hoist to be the one to deal with it. {{storylink|Dino Hard}}<br />
<br />
[[File:FlyingHunkAJunk Boulder on comms.jpg|thumb|left|350px]]<br />
The recruits joined Boulder on a mission to a remote island to rescue some penguins who were endangered by an oncoming electrical storm. He was able to save the majority of the penguins, but the storm resulted in him being separated from the recruits, who had to rescue the remaining penguins themselves. He later left them to deal with the creatures once they got out of hand. {{storylink|Escape from Penguin Island}} A satellite that Boulder had imbued with Cybertronian tech later crashed and had to be retrieved by the recruits. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}}<br />
<br />
When Boulder took the recruits on a space mission to repair a satellite, he was disappointed to discover that they'd ejected their trash into space, causing an unexpected hazard that jeopardized the mission. {{storylink|Flying Hunk-A-Junk}} Boulder constructed a replacement battery for a deep-sea submersible drone. {{storylink|Into the Depths}} Boulder participated in a relay race carrying [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] as a pretend rescue victim, but lost to Wedge. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} He was in attendance as the recruits graduated from their first year at the academy. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}<br />

*'''Boulder the Construction-Bot''' (2011)<br />
:Boulder transforms into a bright green construction vehicle of a likely fictitious design. Like the rest of the Rescue Bots, Boulder features a partially automated transformation: pulling his treads out to form his arms also causes his head to pop up and causes the <s>bucket</s> <s>blade</s> front section to push forward and separate into the legs. Although not readily obvious, Boulder has a silver Autobot symbol on his torso / the top of his cab.<br />

:Available in a two-pack with Doc Greene, Boulder is a non-transforming soft-plastic figure based heavily on the cartoon model (with a few extra details). He features some basic posability, with shoulder, wrist and joined-hip articulation, his left hand replaced by a rescue drill that sadly does not spin freely (though it does turn).

*'''Boulder the Construction-Bot''' (2014)<br />
<br />
:Released within the 4th wave of 2014 "Rescan" figures (a smaller, less expensive price point in-line with the other Playskool "Heroes" toys), Boulder transforms from a rather compact little dump truck into a robot in a few short steps. He features knee articulation, though only due to his transformation. He also has 5mm fist holes, though most things pegged into them need to be done underhand due to a lack of clearance. Care, and quite a bit of force, is required to peg the dump bed/feet into the cabin, to keep it from auto-transforming for robot mode.<br />
<br />
:Like many figures from the line, the actual figure is missing a number of paint apps shown in the back-of-box photo, such as additional silver detailing on the waist, toes, shins and helmet, and construction stripes on the feet. Meanwhile, the version shown in Hasbro's stock promotional photo (at right) somehow has ''less'' detail, with the wheels cast in the same green as the main body, despite them being black on the actual figure.<br />

His vehicle-mode bed also has a 5mm post-hole for mounting rescue gear, as well as a pair of slots that allows the included [[Windchill]] to attach in drill-ski mode.<br />

==Notes==<br />
*Boulder is the only Rescue Bot to not share a name with a previous incarnation, though he does share a name with the leader of the {{w|Rock Lords#Good Rock Lords|heroic Rock Lords}}, from the ill-fated spinoff of the [[GoBots]]. His status as the big, green friendly guy on the team seems to take a few cues from ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Animated]]'' [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]].<br />
**Although, compared to the three other main members of [[Rescue Force Sigma-17|the team]], he's actually the ''shortest''.<br />
*Unlike the other bots in his franchise, Boulder's visor is simply a color change of optics.<br />
<br />
===Foreign names===<br />
*''Hungarian:'' '''Szikla''' (Boulder)<br />
*''Hungarian:'' '''Jù Shí''' (巨石, Giant Rock)<br />

<br />
Ask for volunteers for a dangerous aerial mission, and you'll find '''Blades'''... slouched towards the back of the crowd trying not to be noticed. Timid by nature, acrophobic despite his aerial alternate mode, and more interested in consuming [[Earth]] pop culture than actually living an adventure, Blades seems a very unlikely member of [[Rescue Force Sigma-17]].<br />
<br />
But Blades' sensitivity also makes him very empathetic to those in danger, and can push him past his fears to come to the rescue. Working with the energetic and daring [[human]] [[Dani Burns]], while at first ''incredibly'' nerve-wracking for the Cybertronian, has resulted in something of a streak of genuine courage. He also has a ''huge'' case of hero worship for the legendary Autobot [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], and having gotten to work with the scout on numerous occasions —and more importantly being called a friend by Bee— has given Blades an ego boost to further embolden him. Blades will make a fine [[Rescue Bot]]...<br />
<br />
Even if he'd rather be doing arts and crafts or playing video games.<br />

[[File:RescueBotsRespond Blades.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]<br />
Blades was part of [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]'s team of Rescue Bots — he was the smart one who made up all the plans. When the team received a message from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], they hopped in their spacecraft and joined him on [[Earth]], where he was given the [[alternate mode]] of a helicopter. Inexperienced at flying, Blades accidentally sliced a tree with his rotors, and it had to be dealt with by the rest of the team. They eventually arrived in [[Griffin Rock]], where Optimus introduced them to [[Charlie Burns|Chief Charlie]]. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Roll Out}}<br />
<br />
After some time away from Griffin Rock, Blades returned to [[Fire Station Prime|Prime Fire Station]] to join the team, and introduced himself to [[Cody Burns]]. He, Heatwave and Cody were soon called out on a mission, however Blades's broken radio caused problems, and he inadvertently fanned the forest fire with his rotors until the others could warn him away. Instead he found his partner [[Sawyer Storm]] helping humans trapped by the fire and assisted in the rescue. Back at the fire station, Blades and the team were congratulated on a job well done, and Blades got his radio fixed. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Respond}} He was on hand to welcome [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Boulder]] when the remaining members of the team arrives. {{storylink|Rapid Rescue}}<br />

[[File:UnfinishedBusiness proto-Blades.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|*intro guitar riff*]]<br />
Blades was part of a team of Rescue Bots who were finishing a routine patrol in space when they received a distress call. Investigating, they found they'd been marked as lunch by an [[Energon eater]], and had to put themselves in stasis and power down their ship to escape it. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} Sometime later, the ''[[Sigma]]'' received a transmission from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and landed on [[Earth]]. After dropping the bombshell that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was no more, Optimus assigned the team to [[Griffin Rock]] to work with the Burns family. Blades was not keen on the helicopter [[alternate mode]] he was forced to take, as his previous form had wheels and he was afraid of heights. The four Rescue Bots were presented to the public by [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] at a ceremony, following which Blades discovered that his new partner, [[Dani Burns]], could yell really loud when she wanted him to fly faster as they went to the [[Griffin Rock natural history museum|museum]] to attend to a fire. That night, [[Cody Burns]] discovered the Rescue Bots' secret, and after they helped stop a rogue robot ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', Chief Burns revealed the truth to the rest of the team. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Hotshots Blades with scoopclaw belly.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"Too alarmin' now to talk about."]]<br />
Dani and Blades continued to have trouble working together, arriving late to an emergency. Cody tried unsuccessfully to get the pair to bond, until there was another emergency when [[Mount Magma]] began threatening the island with lava. Blades and Dani operated the switch to open the volcano's crater as a relief measure, but when they were subsequently caught in an ash cloud, Dani had to cajole a panicking Blades into flying out of it. He managed to earn her respect when he subsequently braved the ash to pick up a water tower and douse the lava with it. {{storylink|Under Pressure}}<br />
<br />
After Blades felt like he wasn't contributing enough, Dani fitted a scoop claw to him, something he wasn't that enthusiastic about, and made him look fat in [[robot mode]]. The claw soon proved its worth, though the other Rescue Bots were annoyed Blades and Dani were hogging all the rescues and even threatened to forcibly remove it. When during a patrol, Blades was forced down by a lightning strike, the other Rescue Bots came to his aid, and he and Dani decided to use the claw scoop a little less often in the future. {{storylink|Hotshots}} Blades and Dani retrieved a lobster parade balloon after it carried away Doc Greene. Three of the Rescue Bots took part in the technology parade during the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]] but the town was attacked by [[flobster]]s, who seemed to have a liking for Blades's face. He and Dani helped round them up using a cage and the lobster balloon, so they could be neutralized. Afterwards, Blades finally worked out the joke. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}}<br />
<br />
[[File:FourBotsBaby Blades lowers harness.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.34|"Take your pictures down and shake it out."]]<br />
After helping prevent a hazardous chemical spill, the Rescue Bots were forced to endure a screening of ''[[The Natives of Tatooie]]'' that resulted in [[Huxley Prescott]] causing a mass panic when he reported an alien invasion. The Rescue Bots had to help during the ensuing chaos and destroyed Huxley's [[SETI]] dish to avoid the island's destruction. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}} After [[Boulder]] got the idea to adopt a pet, Blades helped him by shutting down the power to [[Griffin Rock Zoo]]. They spent the rest of the night trying to find the [[Whiskers|lion]] that Boulder had let loose, and Blades ended up catching it in a cage. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}}<br />
<br />
After Cody souped up a go-kart, Blades was worried he wouldn't want to hang out with them any more. The go-kart turned sour when Cody tried to soup it up with nanites, which instead ran rampant, and the Rescue Bots had to help him. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}} Cody roped the Rescue Bots into helping him take care of a [[Robo-Baby]]. They found Blades's rotors had a soothing effect on the baby and put it to sleep. When the bank was in danger of falling into a sinkhole, Blades and Dani had to rescue [[Harrison (RB)|Mr. Harrison]] again, and in the meantime the baby escaped from the fire station, forcing Cody and the Rescue Bots to track it down. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}}<br />
<br />
[[File:DeepTrouble Pirate Blades.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|"Truth or consequence, say it aloud."]]<br />
During a snowfall caused by a weather machine, Dani and Blades helped save City Hall by flying upside-down and clearing the snow off the roof. Unfortunately this left Blades too frozen to fly when they later needed to rescue [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] from a chunk of ice on the river. {{storylink|Christmas in July}} Blades and Dani rescued [[H.B. Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] when his boat, the ''[[Floating Xanadu]]'' was in danger of running aground. He and the other Rescue Bots were invited on a fishing trip with Chief Burns and Cody the next day, and Blades, who had been watching too many pirate movies, began affecting pirate talk. After the Bots encountered and fought a [[shark submarine]], the sub started a self-destruct sequence, and Blades had to fly it out to sea before it exploded. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RB)|Deep Trouble}}<br />
<br />
Blades was happy at being grounded due to fog, but had to fly anyway when the dinosaur from the museum was spotted near the lab. Though it turned out the dinosaur had been reprogrammed, a short time later the island's technology went wild, and the Rescue Bots had to deal with the out-of-control devices and a hacked [[Trex]]. After they subdued the beast, Blades had to fly Doc Greene back to his lab to remove the virus from Trex. {{storylink|Return of the Dino Bot}} When [[Doctor Morocco]] turned up with his [[MorBot]] and threatened to overshadow the Rescue Bots, the team was forced to compete with the doctor's invention to prove themselves worthy. Thanks to Morocco's machinations, they failed and were stood down from service. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} Blades turned to television. He was pressed into service by Cody, who had Dani fly him over to spy on the lab, which worked until they were spotted by the MorBot which chased them back to the fire station. After being called out to a fire at the lab, the Rescue Bots got the chance to exact some payback on the MorBot. The team was subsequently reinstated as Griffin Rock's rescue service. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}<br />
<br />
[[File:GriffinRockTriangle Blades pulls boat.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|"Use that evidence, race it around."]]<br />
Though Blades and Dani turned up to rescue [[Hayley]], Kade insisted on doing it himself so he could impress the girl. The team turned up to a break-in at the [[Hall of Inspiration]], during which Blades, [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and Boulder were shrunk to the size of ants by the [[Minimizer]] and ended up in the sewer. After braving huge rats and a torrent of water, they made it to the [[Griffin Rock dam]], where they rescued Kade and alerted the rest of the team to the fact that the dam was near bursting. Cody later used the Minimizer to return them to their normal sizes. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} While trying to save [[Wild (RB)|Captain Wild]]'s boat, Blades was pulled under the sea but managed to save the boat with the help of the rest of the team. He helped Cody search the tunnels under the island to find a mooring station, leading the team to venture into the sea where they helped [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]] seal the vent causing the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]]. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}<br />
<br />
After the daring rescue of Huxley Prescott by the four bots, Chief left them with strict orders not to go to [[Griffin Crest]]. After receiving an apparent SOS from Cody, Blades and the others went there anyway and ended up immobilized by an [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] field, leaving them in need of a rescue. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}} Blades had a rotor bend during a rescue at the airport, so when he and the other three Bots were washed out to sea with Cody and ended up on an inhabited island, he was unable to fly back to Griffin Rock for help. The Bots' attempts to build him shelter and gather food were less than successful, but they did manage to find traces of the ''[[Oaken Crow]]'', which led to them finding the ship and getting off the island. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Bttr bumblebee blades.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8|"There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes."]]<br />
While on a mission to [[Wayward Island]], Blades was excited to meet Bumblebee, however his attempting to show off backfired when he got stuck to a tree and Bumblebee had to rescue him. Back on Griffin Rock, the team attended another rescue, but when the other three Rescue Bots seized up, Bumblebee once again had to help Blades complete the rescue. As it turned out the others had been infected by a virus from the meteorite, Blades stayed at the fire station while the humans and Bumblebee went to deal with it, but ended up flying out himself to rescue Bumblebee from an undersea trench. Faced with an out-of-control bomb, the two Bots used it to destroy the meteorite, but were infected by the virus themselves. Luckily a sample of the meteorite they'd obtained resulted in the finding of a cure, and Blades was overjoyed to get some photos of himself with Bumblebee. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}}<br />
<br />
When the Rescue Bots were called out to deal with a huge blob of space goo, Blades was horrified by it eating [[Mister Pettypaws]] and tried fruitlessly to hit it with a park sculpture. He and Dani tracked the [[Squilsh]] from the air, and later provided an air lift when the team cornered it at the [[Griffin Rock Community Pool]]. {{storylink|You've Been Squilshed}} Blades and Dani rescued Frankie from [[Tracer (RB)|tracers]] after most of the townspeople were teleported elsewhere by them, and had to fly through the wind farm to try to lose a swarm of the bugs. Back at the fire station, the Bots had their work cut out squishing bugs, though Blades managed to catch one, enabling Boulder to find a way to neutralize them. The four Bots later tracked down the cavern where the townsfolk had been teleported and rescued them all. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}} When Griffin Rock was hit by an infestation of what appeared to be ghosts, Blades was particularly hesitant to deal with them, having watched all fourteen ''[[Haunted Halls]]'' movies. He was especially unnerved when one manifested right inside his cockpit. {{storylink|The Haunting of Griffin Rock}}<br />
<br />
[[File:LittleWhiteLies Blades protects Graham.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.45|"There goes my hero. He's ordinary."]]<br />
Blades helped search the island for Chief Burns and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] after the pair went missing, though when the trail led to the old lead mine, he was almost too worried about blood-sucking bats to go in. He, [[Graham Burns|Graham]] and Dani followed Boulder's sonar and managed to find Chase. {{storylink|Little White Lies}} The Rescue Bots were forced to be extra attentive to their cover as robots when Frankie started filming them for a school project. They stopped a swarm of earthquakes by tracking down the cause in the caves under Griffin Rock. {{storylink|Shake Up}} Following Blades's discovery of fireworks, Cody got a [[repulsor badge]], granting the boy superhero-like powers. When the badge overloaded, trapping Cody in an energy bubble, Blades declared it his mortal enemy, as he and the other Bots worked to rescue Cody. {{storylink|Rescue Boy}}<br />
<br />
Blades, the other Rescue Bots, Cody and Frankie were sent back in time to [[1939]] in a time travel accident. There they fell into the hands of a team of scientists headed by Doctor Morocco who performed experiments on them. Morocco was getting to the point of dissecting the four Bots when Optimus and Bumblebee came to their rescue. On returning to the present, they found that Morocco had taken over the town with the aid of his MorBots. {{storylink|It's a Bot Time}} The four bots managed to elude the MorBots and soon established that leaving [[Dither]] in the past had resulted in the changed. After an encounter with an alternate version of the Burns family, including a version of Dani who didn't like flying, the Rescue Bots returned to 1939 and retrieved Dither, returning the timeline to normal. {{storylink|Bot to the Future}}<br />
<br />
Blades took to playing a dance video game with Frankie, once she and Doc Greene knew the Rescue Bots' secret. He assisted in the rescue of [[Taylor]], whom he was amused to note that Dani had taken a liking to, and had to rescue the other Bots when Doc Greene's [[Vacuum Accelerator]] warped them to the top of [[Mount Griffin]]. {{storylink|Road Trip}} The Rescue Bots helped construct Frankie Greene's [[Sky Forest (structure)|Sky Forest]], only to have to rescue the town's citizens when the plant life grew out of control. {{storylink|Sky Forest (episode)|Sky Forest}} When Chief Burns was ill, the four bots had to contend with Kade appointing himself new team leader, and Cody being aged into an adult in a lab experiment. Blades's attempt to salvage a crashed rocket from where it was tangled in power lines resulted in it exploding. {{storylink|One for the Ages}}<br />
<br />
[[File:AVirtualDisaster Blades arrow to the knee.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.45|"Don't the best of them bleed it out<br />
while the rest of them peter out?"]]<br />
He and Dani tracked an iceberg, only to discover it was actually [[S.S. Isolde|a ship]] frozen by a piece of cargo it was carrying, the [[Sub-Zero Expander]]. After accidentally getting frozen by the machine, Blades returned to base, and 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. {{storylink|Tip of the Iceberg}} After a rescue mission where Blades became frightened of the snowy weather, Cody took Blades to the Hall of Inspiration where they played the Doc's new [[Griffin Rock Element Quest|virtual reality game]]. Inside the game, Cody taught Blades about video games, such as power-ups and boss fights, but the game bugged out when lightning struck the Hall. The bosses could hurt the two and Blades overcame his fear and gained the courage to protect Cody, much to Heatwave's surprise. The three beat the game, thanks to Blades, and were teleported out of the game. Heatwave later commented on Blades's courage. {{storylink|A Virtual Disaster}}<br />
<br />
When the rest of the team was mesmerized by cellphones, Blades escaped by virtue of being out on patrol at the time, though it did mean he and Dani had to put out a fire without Heatwave's help. They were subsequently mind-controlled as well, and forced to excavate [[Blossom Vale]] until the cell tower was taken out. {{storylink|Spellbound}} Huxley Prescott's reality show featuring the bots was approved by the mayor, and Blades was caught up in the idea of gaining fame. He began trying to think up catchphrases, but was disappointed when it turned out Prescott had begun manufacturing emergencies to make the show more exciting. {{storylink|Prescott's Bots}}<br />
<br />
[[File:BlameTheGremlins Blades and Dani rescue.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.55|"Kudos, my hero, leavin' all the best."]]<br />
Blades took part in a rescue when Taylor's plane was stricken with an electrical fault. He and the rest of the team later had to face a horde of [[gremlin]]s conjured from Kade's nightmares. {{storylink|Blame the Gremlins}} When a monster was spotted during a star-gazing expedition with Cody, Blades and the other Rescue Bots helped the boy hunt for the beast, resulting in an encounter with it at an old cannery. 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}}<br />
<br />
A picnic Blades and Cody were helping Dani with was interrupted by the arrival of [[Woodrow Burns]]. The revelation that there was [[energon]] under the island resulted in Optimus Prime arriving, and the whole team had to go rescue Woodrow and Cody after the pair became trapped in a cavern deep underground, which ended up with Blades having to fight giant spiders. {{storylink|What Lies Below}} After Blades, Boulder and the three older siblings were separated from the others, Blades had to brave luminous fungus, pterodactyls, and giant fish as they searched for a way out. Once the team was reunited, they escaped from underground by blasting themselves out of the top of Mount Magma. {{storylink|What Rises Above}}<br />
<br />
The Rescue Bots had to bring out their spaceship for another mission to save Graham and Doc Greene after the space elevator they were on was hit by an asteroid. {{storylink|Space Bots}} The team had to deal with a runaway [[mechanical bull]]. When a mishap occurred while transporting the creature to the [[Island of Misfit Tech]], Blades, Chase and Boulder ended up tussling with a prototype Scrapmaster. {{storylink|The Island of Misfit Tech}} The town's new central computer [[Vigil]] was unable to control the four Rescue Bots, so when it attempted to take control of Griffin Rock, the Bots were able to get the rest of the team into its vault to stop it. {{storylink|The Vigilant Town}}<br />
<br />
[[File:BuddySystem Blades scales cliff.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.85|"You know my hero, the one that's on."]]<br />
Blades finally achieved his ambition to become a [[Lad Pioneer]] when he was appointed troop mascot. Going on a nature hike, Blade was linked with Cody via [[Buddy Bracelet]]s, the keys for which were accidentally destroyed. Consequently, Cody had to come along with Blades when the Rescue Bot took part in a snake hunt around town. {{storylink|Buddy System}} After an earthquake and a rash of objects being pulled into the air, Blades became convinced that invisible [[griffin]]s were to blame. He and the other Bots accompanied Graham and Cody to Wayward Island, where it turned out that it was just a super-magnet causing the trouble. {{storylink|In Search of the Griffin's Nest}}<br />
<br />
When Chase appeared to join with Evan and Myles during their crime spree, Blades and the rest of the rescue team found themselves going against him. He later rejoined the team and the four Rescue Bots disabled the [[Tech Wrecker]] Evan and Myles had created. {{storylink|Bots and Robbers}} Following the rescue of a dog, the Rescue Bots were joined in their work by [[Noble (RB)|Noble]], at least until the dogs real owner turned up to claim him. {{storylink|Rescue Dog}} The team had to deal with a storm without Heatwave. When their leader returned with a second alternate mode, Blades was interested in finding out how to acquire one himself. {{storylink|Changes}}<br />
<br />
After a sea rescue Blades took part in resulted in everyone's midwinter holiday presents sinking to the bottom of the ocean, Blades and the rest of the team took on the mantle of the [[Rider of Midwinter]] and delivered loaves of bread to the townsfolk. {{storylink|The Riders of Midwinter}} When a [[Power Planter]] was struck by lightning and ran wild, the team was forced to respond to a number of emergencies caused by it. They eventually succeeded in luring it into a trap using [[Boil Coil]]s and destroyed it. {{storylink|Movers and Shakers}} When Chief Burns was off the island, Woodrow ended up as part of the team. Blades found himself being used as a ramp during a rescue of the mayor, something he didn't enjoy much, though he later got to help rescue some [[dolphin]]s. {{storylink|Chief Woodrow}}<br />
<br />
Blades was excited at the news that Bumblebee was coming and made plans to enjoy his friend's visit, however it turned out Bumblebee was there on a relic-finding mission. What's worse, Dani's pilot license was suspended, so unable to fly in Blades, she was partnered with Bumblebee. Though he grew jealous of the pair's growing bond, Blades was soon distracted by helping Optimus retrieve the relic from the ocean, and was later happy when Bumblebee saved Dani from quicksand. {{storylink|Odd Bot Out}} The rescue team was roped into completing a rail tunnel to the mainland, mainly because Mayor Luskey regarded the Bots as heavy machinery. When the [[Griffin Rock Express]] went out of control, the Bots had to rescue everyone on board, with the help of Frankie and her phasing technology. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Express}}<br />
<br />
[[File:RiseOfTheHeroes Blades flies underground.jpg|thumb|upright=1.45]]<br />
Following a game of [[Rescue Ball]] and an impromptu rescue mission, Blades's attempt to watch ''[[Cupcake Hoarders]]'' was thwarted when he was lured into a trap and kidnapped by Dr. Morocco. Morocco used a memory-erasing ray on him and convinced him that the doctor had been assigned as the Rescue Bots' liaison on Earth by Optimus Prime. Once the other Rescue Bots were similarly brainwashed, Morocco put Blades in charge and sent the team to a cavern under Griffin Rock to mine gold. Unfortunately Blades accidentally set off a methane explosion and when the Bots climbed out of the crater, they were confronted by the dastardly Burns family. {{storylink|Double Villainy}}<br />
<br />
The suspicious Bots were taken back to the fire house, where the evidence soon convinced them that the Burns family was on their side and they'd been misled by Morocco. Unfortunately the methane explosion cause the island to begin to sink, and given the choice between helping out or regaining their memories, the Bots chose the former option. Blades was relieved to discover he wasn't team leader though. With the help of some tech from Doc Greene, the team was able to raise the island once again, and Morocco was forced to restore their memories. {{storylink|Rise of the Heroes}}<br />
<br />
[[File:BigGame Chase carries Blades.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.6| Wrap up and Roll out!]]<br />
During a routine inspection by Optimus, Blades and Dani encountered an unexpected pterodactyl. After they captured and tagged it, the team tracked the creature back to Wayward Island where they found a whole group of dinosaurs, one of which damaged Blades's tail rotor. The team was subsequently chased into a tar pit and had to be rescued by Optimus Prime. Once they established what the dinos were upset about, the team was able to get them to return to the underground cavern they'd come from. {{storylink|Land Before Prime (episode)|Land Before Prime}} When Optimus was abducted by big game hunter [[Quint Quarry]], Heatwave, Chase and Blades headed to Quarry's island to mount a rescue. After catching Blades repeatedly with nets, the hunter managed to trap the trio in a cage and was about to take them off the island in his heli-jet when Optimus and Boulder came to their aid. {{storylink|Big Game}}<br />
<br />
Following the accidental creation of four extra Kades, Blades found himself having to take them all back to the first station after their squabbling caused an accident. He later attempted to rescue the rest of the team from a gas leak, but ended up himself needing rescuing by the quintet of Kades. {{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 having to deal with a flooding disaster, Blades and Heatwave had to try and cover for Chase and Boulder during their mission in space. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Switcheroo Blades eats yogurt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br />
After the town was sealed inside an energy dome by Vigil, Blades and the others pursued the AI to try to beat it to the dome controls in the lab. Despite being injured during the chase, Blades beat Vigil to the lab along with Chase, but Vigil stuck them to the floor using the Collision Foam Cannon, leaving it to Frankie and Cody to save the day. {{storylink|No Place Like Dome}} Blades attempted to help Graham gain confidence to talk to [[Amy]] via role playing. He later saved the day, using ''[[Confident Me]]'' to lure a swarm of mutant army ants to a place where they could be successfully captured. {{storylink|Bugs in the System}}<br />
<br />
During a trip on the space elevator Asgard, Blades switched bodies with Dani. He binged on yogurt and potato chips, much to her disgust, and she forced him to exercise to work off the calories. For his part, he was smug when she found being a helicopter wasn't as much fun as she thought. They were eventually swapped back into their own bodies. {{storylink|Switcheroo}} Blades and the rest of the team were shrunken down to microscopic size so they could enter Kade's body and retrieve the [[scrubmite]]s he'd accidentally ingested. {{storylink|Bot-Tastic Voyage}} Following Professor Baranova's abduction at the hands of Colonel Quarry, Blades scanned a pterodactyl alternate mode so he and the other Rescue Bots, plus Optimus, could masquerade as the dinobots Quarry wanted Doc Greene to build. Unfortunately Blades then found he could no longer transform, and ended up bringing Cody along by accident when Quarry took them all to an island. As Quarry was taking the other Autobots to be sold, Blades finally found the strength to transform so that he could rescue them. {{storylink|Quarry's Quarry}}<br />
<br />
[[File:AttackOfHumunagado Blades pterodactyl.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.9|Blades, that isn't a dinosaur. Stop cheating!]]<br />
The team visited Wayward Island to search for an energon trace, which Blades hoped would mean a visit from Bumblebee. They found only a caveman frozen in ice, who turned out to be still alive once he was thawed back in Griffin Rock. While the others helped "[[Ira]]" acclimate, Heatwave and Blades returned to Wayward Island and found cave paintings depicting Autobots in the caveman's era. {{storylink|Did You See What I Thaw?}} The team had to cope with giant Kaiju created when Doc Greene's new projector was used to screen ''[[Humungado|Attack of Humungado]]'', and ended up using their dino modes to combat the beasts. {{storylink|The Attack of Humungado}}<br />
<br />
The mayor decided to honor the rescue team by holding [[Bot Appreciation Week]], however a clash in schedules resulted in the Burns family being off the island for the start. The Rescue Bots found they had to contend with the souvenir versions of themselves running amok thanks to Evan and Myles reprogramming them. {{storylink|All Bots Great and Small}} 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}}<br />
<br />
[[File:PiratesAhoy Blades sandcastle.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br />
After the discovery that the Burns family had a pirate in their ancestry and the suspension of the rescue team, Blades took Woodrow, Cody and Dani to look for pirate treasure, though he was too big to enter the cave they were led to, and built a firehouse out of sand while he waited. Clues eventually led the team to the treasure, and they were subsequently reinstated by the mayor. {{storylink|Pirates Ahoy}} When the Rescue Bots were assigned to training with [[High Tide]], Blades found the old bot particularly fearsome and messed up repeatedly. After taking some time to rescue a human in trouble, Blades earned a chewing out from High Tide. He later steadied an oil rig long enough for the other Rescue Bots to rescue Doc and Frankie. {{storylink|Turning the Tide}} When the time traveler [[Jules Verne]] visited, Blades helped apprehend Dr. Morocco. {{storylink|The Last of Morocco}}<br />
<br />
When the Rescue Bots found two Autobots, [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] and [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]], on Wayward Island, Optimus assigned the team to train the two newcomers. Blades was unimpressed with Blurr's lying about his past, but Optimus convinced the team to let Blurr have another chance. {{storylink|The New Recruits}} After hours of failed rescue simulations, Cody suggested more personal training for the newbies, so Blades constructed a highlight reel of his own rescues. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy (episode)|Rescue Bots Academy}} After Blurr stole the ship and a solar flare knocked out the island's power, Blades was reluctantly forced to fly rescues in the dark, backwards. Blurr later returned having saved the island from a rogue satellite, and was assigned elsewhere along with Salvage. {{storylink|A New Hero}}<br />
<br />
The Rescue Bots were forced to hunt for Servo after the dog went missing in action and left a trail of destruction in his wake. {{storylink|Four-Legged Hero}} Blades joined Boulder, Chase and the kids in guarding some woodpeckers Boulder found, however they were forced to go into damage control mode when word of the discovery got out, and had to deal with a fire in Blossom Vale. {{storylink|Endangered Species}}<br />

After Chase injured himself, Blades prescribed a week of rest off his feet, and as a result Chase took the job of dispatcher and managed to send the team on a number of false alarms. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RB)|More than Meets the Eye}} When Doc Greene's [[Tone-O-Tuner]] caused everyone in town to sing instead of talk, Blades took part in a video call to educate new recruits and though reluctant, ended up singing a duet with Dani. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}}<br />
<br />
Blades and the other Rescue Bots took part in the opening of a time capsule, during which a quantum crystal mishap resulted in the entire island being teleported to the [[Arctic]]. The four Bots had to deice the generators so that the island's dome could be raised. {{storylink|Now and Then}} Blades and Dani attempted to go for help, only to find that the conditions were too harsh and Heatwave had to help them return to town. As the team enacted a plan to fill the dome with floatium and fly the island back, the Rescue Bots had their work cut out keeping people safe. The journey continued, but the Rescue Bots were forced to use their own energon to power the dome. They successfully reached Griffin Rock's old location, and after some medical attention, the Rescue Bots recovered. Optimus gave them a new mission, to let the rest of the town in on their secret. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}<br />
<br />
[[File:BridgeBuilding Blades fan club.jpg|thumb|upright=1.9]]<br />
Despite Blades being in favor, three years on they still hadn't told the humans about themselves. An invasion by the [[Velgrox]], which Blades found out about when they captured Dani, resulted in the four Rescue Bots having to reveal themselves to the townsfolk. {{storylink|New Normal}} Blades immediately started organizing his own fan club, however he proved unable to interest any of the townsfolk in joining and had to offer free helicopter rides instead. {{storylink|Bridge Building}} When a race between Blades and Heatwave ended in an emergency situation, Blades had to help clean up the mess. Heatwave subsequently restricted the team to their official duties and had Blades flying patrols over the island. It was not long after that the team encountered a new Rescue Bot named [[Quickshadow]]. {{storylink|Arrivals}} Quickshadow assigned him and Dani to fly over the island while Heatwave transported dangerous chemicals for Doc Greene. After a mishap spread acid clouds around downtown, he carried Heatwave back to the clouds to help neutralize them. {{storylink|Plus One (RB)|Plus One}}<br />
<br />
Following a mishap in which the town pool froze over, Blades went to the [[Griffin Rock Fun Zone|Fun Zone]] to play games. When the [[Morocco virus]] invaded the ''Element Quest'' game, Blades was eliminated while protecting Cody from a dragon. {{storylink|Back to Virtual Reality}} When investors were looking at redeveloping the island, the Rescue Bots used Velgrox technology to make themselves invisible and pretend to be ghosts to scare them off. {{storylink|Vanishing Returns}}<br />
<br />
The team took part in [[Halloween|Earliween]] celebrations, though Blades was keen on dressing in a costume himself. They also came up with a plan to foil Evan and Myles when the pair tried to carnap Quickshadow. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (RB)|Ghost in the Machine}} When Whiskers was abducted from the zoo, the Rescue Bots used their dino modes as bait to lure big game hunter [[Thurston Chumley|Lord Chumley]]. Though they themselves were captured, they made the most of their situation, both finding Whiskers and bringing the rest of the team to help arrest Chumley. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RB)|Enemy of My Enemy}}<br />
<br />
[[File:PartTimeHeroes Blades reports.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.9]]<br />
Blades helped Chase run for mayor by campaigning, however when Chase actually took office, the changes he made interfered with the team's ability to do their job. {{storylink|Mayor May Not}} Blades was keen to celebrate [[All Spark Day (event)|All Spark Day]], and actually got to do so with the rest of town — after the team had to deal with a giant-size [[CeCe Greene]]. {{storylink|All Spark Day (episode)|All Spark Day}} When the town's communications tower required replacing, the team took on second jobs — Blades and Dani operated a traffic report for Huxley. The townsfolk later chipped in with enough cash to replace the tower. {{storylink|Part-Time Heroes}}<br />
<br />
When the new mainland [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] was reaching completion, Blades planned a housewarming party, but was upset when it turned out a fair portion of the team wouldn't be able to make it. He ended up abandoning the idea and headed back to Griffin Rock. {{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. Blades was called on to fly over to the mainland and assist Heatwave in reactivating the center's holographic disguise. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}<br />
<br />
During a series of motor races, the Bots had to first deal with a collapsing stand full of spectators, and then with runaway racers thanks to an errant invention. Dani presented him with the race cup for being understanding about her sneaking off to take part in the races with Blurr. {{storylink|Hot Rod Bot}} Blades accompanied Heatwave, Chief and Dani to [[Africa]] when Woodrow Burns appeared to need help, and ended up helping a family of gorillas survive baboons and an erupting volcano. {{storylink|King Burns}} Blades was honored to be made a judge in one of the competitions for the town's Pizza Pi Party, though the event was interrupted by out-of-control pizza dough. {{storylink|Pizza Pi Party}}<br />
<br />
While running practice drills in the Training Center, the team had to save a Cybertronian ship that crash-landed. Blades found himself reunited with Bumblebee, but was startled by the changes in his friend. When the tour of the training center was interrupted by an energon eater which has stowed away on the ship, Blades and Bumblebee ended up teaming up to capture it. Before leaving, Bumblebee suggested Blades come on a mission with his team. {{storylink|Uninvited Guest}}<br />
<br />
[[File:CampCody human Blades full body.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|I'm a boy, a really real boy.]]<br />
Blades finally got the last Lad Pioneer badge he needed, only to find he wouldn't be able to attend the level up ceremony because it was on the mainland. Graham made him a holographic disguise so he could become a Teen Pioneer, and he pretended to be Swedish to explain why he couldn't touch anything. At [[Camp Itsa Craftsee]], he, Cody and Graham ended up getting mixed up in [[Chickadee]]'s plan to find some lost emeralds, but ended up helping the rest of the team apprehend her. {{storylink|Camp Cody}}<br />
<br />
Blades joined Dani in trying to rescue Taylor only for Taylor to be turned into a frog by fairies. Blades kept the frog safe until the trio were reunited with the rest of the team and Taylor was transformed back. {{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}}<br />
<br />
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. Blades's job under the code name '''Rain Cloud''' (after '''Irrelevant''' was first considered) was to fly over Pynch's compound disguised as a cloud, and drop Heatwave and Chief inside. {{storylink|Cody's 11}} The Bots found themselves having to maintain their robot disguises when [[Maven Danger]] stayed at the firehouse as research for his new movie, though it later turned out the visit was just so Maven's agent [[Skip Scobble]] could attempt to steal a rare book. {{storylink|A Brush with Danger}}<br />
<br />
While Blades grew increasingly anxious at the dangerous test missions Dani was undertaking, he was alarmed to hear she might take up test-piloting full-time. When her test space mission ran into trouble, the team came to her rescue in the ''Sigma'', and Blades managed to reach her stricken craft and guide it on a slingshot trajectory around the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. {{storylink|To Infinity... And Back}} Dani and Blades tried to get Cody interested in being a medical responder when the boy was deciding what sort of rescue worker he'd become. {{storylink|Family Business}}<br />
<br />
The team was surprised to discover a whole town in [[China]] knew about them, when they were called there to deal with some out-of-control [[Scrubmite|Scrubbers]]. Afterwards Optimus promptly reassigned them, with Blades leading Quickshadow and High Tide in China — though Blades was initially hesitant, an encounter with some Blades fans left him more enthusiastic. When it turned out the Morocco virus was back and had built a new MorBot, Blades and his team were unable to prevent him getting away with tech from the [[Faxian]] laboratory. {{storylink|Upgrades}} When Morocco set his sights on abducting Cody, Blades and Dani flew back from China at high speed thanks to some rocket boosters, and joined in trying to prevent Morocco's forces coming ashore on Griffin Rock. Optimus later assigned Blades and his team Faxian on a permanent basis. {{storylink|Transformations}}<br />

====Prevenge====<br />
{{voiceactor|[[Parvesh Cheena]] (English)}}<br />
Blades had been left alone back at the Rescue Bots command center when he was abducted by a mysterious force, pulled through a trans-dimensional portal to another universe. He found himself within a metallic labyrinth, where he met the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]]. Several cannons then popped up throughout the corridor, prompting Snarl to tell the Rescue Bot to draw out his swords. A bewildered Blades explained to Snarl that his blades were for flying, not fighting! Snarl picking up the slack, the duo made their way to the middle of the maze via a "graphic and expensive-looking battle sequence." Upon reaching their destination, Blades was relieved to find an authority figure in the form of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]]. He also met five other 'bots who had similarly been abducted from their home dimensions: [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]], [[Sureshock (Armada)|Sureshock]], [[Ravage (SG)|Ravage]], [[Ironhide (RID)|Ironhide]] and [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]]. Blades found them all terrifying.<br />
<br />
A mysterious voice then made itself heard, and stated that it had brought the group together in a ploy to get revenge on the Autobots. Blades pointed out that a bunch of them weren't Autobots, and asked to be excused from the whole brouhaha. The voice declared that it didn't care about the semantics of their factions, and unleashed a "horde" of Sharkticons on them... and by a horde, it meant a single sickly and rusted Sharkticon. Embarrassed, the group's abductor ordered them to fight to the death instead of bothering with the Sharkticon. Blades had difficulty wrapping his head around the idea that someone could fight so hard with their friends or coworkers that they'd just drop dead, before it was explained to him what the voice actually meant. This only served to terrify Blades further, who pondered that this was weird way to learn a valuable lesson about responsibility and teamwork.<br />
<br />
Annoyed that its prisoners weren't killing one another already, the voice threatened to detonate a Dark Energon bomb if they didn't get on with it. But Blades managed to bluff his captor into admitting that he didn't have a bomb, using some of the "mad scientist lingo" he had picked up around Griffin Rock. The architect behind the whole plot revealed himself to be the [[Skuxxoid]], whom Snarl dealt with in short order. The abductees, now left to devise a way to get themselves back to their homes, began to brainstorm on how to accomplish such a feat. They settled on all laughing together, as characters in cheesy cartoons are prone to do when an episode comes to an end. This, surprisingly enough, worked out. Finding himself back in Griffin Rock, Blades was puzzled over the fact that he hadn't gotten any character building lesson out of his adventure... He decided that the only thing he learned was that weird things just happen sometimes. {{storylink|Prevenge}}<br />

[[File:GoTeamGo Blades.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br />
A giant statue of Blades's face was carved into a mountain near Griffin Rock, alongside the faces of the other Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} Heatwave called in Blades to help train [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] in the proper use of his jet alternate mode. [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]] joined in as well, as Blades had them learning to hover in place and fly slowly and carefully. Blades later took part in controlling a forest fire, but was unable to go in himself to rescue some firefighters, so Hot Shot went in in his stead. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}}<br />
<br />
Blades almost caught the recruits with an illicit pooch in the Academy. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Blades's cheering during a rescue simulation prompted [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]] to get the recruits practicing cheerleading. When Blades later had them evacuate citizens in Griffin Rock while he and the other Rescue Bots dealt with a flood, they made use of the skills they'd learned. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}}<br />
<br />
During a mission to the ''Asgard'', the Rescue Bots got trapped outside and had to wait for the recruits to come to their rescue. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} The Rescue Bots were later on another urgent off-world mission. {{storylink|All Washed Up}} When Heatwave had the recruits be teachers for the day, Boulder and Blades decided to join the class and later employed what they'd learned during a rescue. {{storylink|Who's Teaching Who?}} Blades and the other teachers were away from the academy when a dinosaur got loose in it, leaving Hoist to be the one to deal with it. {{storylink|Dino Hard}}<br />
<br />
[[File:WhirlsWiseBotQuest the Wise One.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]<br />
Blades had the recruits carry out a series of search and rescue exercises, and awarded Hoist with his choice of sims, unaware that Hoist had cheated to win the exercises. {{storylink|All that Glitters}} Blades brought [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] to the academy to teach, the two friends later catching up on recent events while heading into Griffin Rock to pick up supplies. {{storylink|Bee Prepared}} When Whirl had trouble mastering a maneuver, Blades spun a fictional tale about a Rescue Bot guru who'd once helped him. Whirl set off to find the guru, an Blades flew ahead to disguise himself so he could pose as said guru, however Whirl learned all she needed to know while on her journey. {{storylink|Whirl's Wise-Bot Quest}}<br />
<br />
Blades took part in a student versus teacher relay race, carrying [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] as a pretend rescue victim through a canyon. He lost to Whirl when she took a faster route while he had to fly over a tornado. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} Blades was later in attendance when the recruits graduated from the first year of the academy. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}<br />

*'''Blades the Copter-Bot''' (Rescue Bot, 2011)<br />
:Blades transforms into an orange and white rescue helicopter of a likely fictitious origin, but with design details common to several real-life helicopters. In keeping with the simplified transformations of the line, Blades can be transformed from helicopter to robot simply by twisting the knob on his propeller. His rotors are free-spinning in this mode, and the design of his tail / legs is such that he can be held by the bottom portion of the tail beneath the tail rotor. Care must be taken, however, as the free-spinning nature of his blades means that they can sometimes spin when the knob is twisted.<br />

*'''Blades the Flight-Bot''' (Rescan, 2014)<br />
<br />
:Blades is a transforming mold, about two-thirds the size of his original toy. He transforms into a rescue jet by swiveling his wings forward, which folds down the cockpit, revealing the head, and splays out the arms and legs. Transforming him any other way, such as folding down the cockpit directly can cause the internal gearing mechanism to skip, preventing his parts from properly lining up when returning him to jet mode. Although many such affected examples are often described as "broken," the problem can be corrected by removing a couple of screws from the underside, realigning the gearing mechanism and then re-assembling the figure. And then transforming him properly from then on.<br />
<br />
:Like other 2014 figures, Blades is missing several paint details seen on his packaging stock photos.<br />

<br />
:Released in the fourth wave of 2015 Rescan figures, Blades is functionally a smaller version of his original toy but features a more show-accurate design. He transforms from copter to robot with a simple pull/push of his arms. In an undocumented feature, his helicopter rotors can be bent downward by hand for a more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] robot mode.<br />
<br />
:[[Stock photography]] on Blades's packaging shows him with a few [[paint operation|paint application]]s that the final toy lacks; namely, blue paint on the lower half of the helicopter cockpit, black paint on the hands, and additional orange paint on the forearms and kneecaps.<br />
<br />
:Blades has [[5 mm post|5mm]] fist holes, although since he lacks any useful articulation in his arms, accessories placed in his hands will be pointed downward.<br />
<br />
:This toy was also included in the "[[Blades (RB)#4pack|Griffin Rock Rescue Team Set]]" with no notable changes. its engineering and transformation pattern were later used for ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)|Rescue Bots Academy]]'' [[Whirl (RBA)#Rescue Bots Academy|Whirl]].<br />

:Part of the fourth wave of Megabots figures, Blades changes from an ocean rescue helicopter to robot in a few quick steps. He features articulation at his shoulders and 5mm fist holes as well as a large claw clamp that he can either hold in his fist, store under his cockpit in vehicle mode, or hook it up to his winch system on his underside. Slight assembly is required for Blades out of box; one must attach his rotor prop plate to his back. His rotor connects to a peg which allows one to activate his working winch in helicopter mode. When his claw is hooked onto the winch, rotating the rotor clockwise booms the claw down, while rotating it counterclockwise reels it back up.<br />

This special was aired back-to-back for four hours on Christmas morning, possibly as a means of giving the bulk of the network staff a chance to spend Christmas morning with their families. <br />
* Before his new setting made it largely unnecessary, Blades functioned as the team's field medic.<br />

[[Image:ChaseRB-cartoonmodel.jpg|thumb|right|300px|There's only one of him for every two case assortments.]]<br />
Chief [[Charlie Burns]]'s partner '''Chase''' is the Rescue Bot most at home and happy with their new positions learning and enforcing the laws and customs of Earth. He is brave, loyal, and very fast when he turns into a police car. As long as he gets to protect and serve, he is happy. He is a stickler for wanting to enforce the extreme letter of the law.<ref>Chase's profile at [https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.hubworld.com:80/transformers/shows/rescue-bots/cast-gallery/chase hubworld.com] (via Internet Wayback Machine)</ref> He hangs out with [[Charlie Burns]] most of the time, and the two seem to get along pretty well.

[[File:RescueBotsRollOut Chase rescues robot.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"I can walk, you know!"]]<br />
Part of [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]'s team of Rescue Bots, Chase was the fastest, but also careful. They received a message from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], prompting them to travel to [[Earth]] in their spaceship (with Chase piloting, of course) to join the Autobot leader. Once there, Chase received a new police car alternate mode, and Optimus took them to [[Griffin Rock]] to meet [[Charlie Burns|Chief Charlie]]. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Roll Out}} Some time later, Chase and [[Boulder]] were on their way to [[Fire Station Prime|Prime Fire Station]] to join the team when they happened upon a flash flood at a construction site. Using a ramp propped up by Boulder, Chase was able to jump across to two trapped humans, and the Rescue Bots got the construction worker to safety, but a freak wave swept Chase and [[Jack Tracker|Hunter]] downstream. With Hunter's guidance, Chase grabbed onto a tree felled by Boulder, and the four of them made it to the fire station, where Hunter joined the team as Chase's partner. {{storylink|Rapid Rescue}}<br />

[[File:UnfinishedBusiness protoChase.jpg|thumb|right|260px|Stainless steel justice.]]<br />
Chase was part of a team of Rescue Bots who were finishing a routine patrol in space when they received a distress call. Investigating, they found they'd been marked as lunch by an [[Energon eater]], and had to put themselves in stasis and power down their ship to escape it. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} Sometime later, the ''[[Sigma]]'' received a transmission from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and landed on [[Earth]]. After dropping the bombshell that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was no more, Optimus assigned the team to [[Griffin Rock]] to work with the Burns family. The four Rescue Bots were presented to the public by [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] at a ceremony, after which Burns drove Chase to the [[Griffin Rock natural history museum|museum]], where a fire had broken out, and began clearing people from the area. Out of all of the Rescue Bots, Chase seemed to settle into his new role the easiest, though when [[Cody Burns]] discovered their secret, he was still reluctant to share information. He and the other Autobots helped stop a rampaging robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', which seemed to be attracted to Chase's police lights. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:UnderPressure Chase saves motorist.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Ma'am, I'm going to have to take you in for possessing unregistered lava.]]<br />
Chase and Chief Burns managed to deal with an out-of-control [[robo-landscaper]] before the rest of the team, who were having trouble working together, got there. He and the other Autobots accepted Cody's help in trying to bond with the other Burns siblings. After lava began spewing from [[Mount Magma]], Chase helped Chief Burns try to keep the citizens of Griffin Rock out of harm's way and cleared some campers from near the mountain. {{storylink|Under Pressure}} Chase brought [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]]'s out-of-control [[solar car]] to a halt before it could plunge into a ravine, though doing so did nasty things to his feet. Chase and the other Rescue Bots were put out when [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] started hogging all the action with his new scoop claw, but they nonetheless came to his rescue when he, [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and Cody were trapped by a forest fire. {{storylink|Hotshots}}<br />
<br />
When Doc Greene was almost swept away by a giant lobster balloon, Chase tried fruitlessly to help. He and the other Rescue Bots were subsequently given more instruction on following humans' commands, which Chase excelled at. They also took part in the technology parade at the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]] and had to help out when the parade was attacked by [[flobster]]s. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}} After Chase prevented a hazardous chemical spill, but almost blew his cover, he expected a reprimand and instead got praised. He and the other Rescue Bots were subjected to a screening of ''[[The Natives of Tatooie]]'', which inadvertently caused a panic when [[Huxley Prescott]] mistook the movie's audio for an alien transmission, resulting in the team having to save the island from destruction. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:WalkWildSide Chase vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Those exhaust fumes are certified within safety standards.]]<br />
Chase responded to two separate calls from [[Neederlander|Mrs. Neederlander]] about a cat up a tree, though the second time it turned out to be [[Whiskers|a lion]]. The hunt for the lion was interrupted by lemurs attacking the [[Mayor Luskey Library]], and Chase ended up helping [[Boulder]] and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] return the critters to the [[Griffin Rock Zoo|zoo]]. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}} While trying to stop [[Harrison (RB)|Mr. Harrison]]'s heli-pack ride, Chase's pursuit route was blocked by boxes. He and the other Rescue Bots went to Cody's aid when some nanites took over a [[Scrapmaster]], however the trash device failed to respect Chase's authority. He and the other bots managed to stop it anyway and eventually suppressed the nanites. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}}<br />
<br />
Chase was unable to stop a motorist from busting through their barricade and ending up crashing. Cody roped the Rescue Bots into helping him take care of a [[Robo-Baby]], which didn't like Chase's singing at all. This turned out to be to their advantage when they later needed to stop the Robo-Baby from falling off a platform. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}} During a heatwave, Chase didn't approve of [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] and Cody selling lemonade without a license. He didn't quite get what the fuss was about when the humans engineered a snow storm using a weather machine, and everyone seemed to be having fun, but later got into the spirit of things by making snow angels. {{storylink|Christmas in July}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:ReignOfMorocco Chase makes soup.jpg|left|350px|thumb|[["Weird Al" Yankovic|"Well don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan]], so [[Michael Jackson|EAT IT! Just EAT IT!"]]]]<br />
Chase and the other Rescue Bots were invited on the Burns' annual fishing trip on the ''[[Darby Ava]]'', during which they encountered and fought a [[shark submarine|mechanical shark]]. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RB)|Deep Trouble}} Chase found the fog to be very unpleasant, especially when it made it hard to see the mailboxes on Willow Street. When the Griffin Rock mainframe was hacked into, the Rescue Bots had to try and stop the out-of-control technology running rampant. {{storylink|Return of the Dino Bot}} He struggled to reconcile the concept of compassionate policing. When [[Doctor Morocco]] turned up with his [[MorBot]] and threatened to overshadow the Rescue Bots, the team was forced to compete with the doctor's invention to prove themselves worthy. Thanks to Morocco's machinations, they failed and were stood down from service. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} Chase began to investigate alternate career options and tried his hand at being a gourmet chef, though he turned out to be as good at it as he was at singing. After being called out to a fire at the lab, they got the chance to exact some payback on the MorBot. The team was subsequently reinstated as Griffin Rock's rescue service. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}<br />
<br />
Chase turned down a visit to the [[Hall of Inspiration]] in favor of some speed trap detail. He later got the chance to see it when the team attended a break-in, and he apprehended the pair responsible. The disappearance of the three other Rescue Bots left him on his own, until he showed Cody a picture of the gun they'd been zapped with, and Cody recognized it. As a result, they were able to get Doc Greene to fix the [[Minimizer]] and restore Heatwave, Boulder and Blades. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} Chase helped save [[Wild (RB)|Captain Wild]]'s ship and search for "tunnel 15" in the tunnels below Griffin Rock. This led the team to discover [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]]'s ''[[Midgard]]'' at the bottom of an ocean trench, and they helped her seal the methane vent causing the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]]. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:LostBell Chase grin.jpg|right|thumb|260px|Hi.]]<br />
After the daring rescue of Huxley Prescott by the four bots, Chief Burns and Cody headed off to [[Griffin Crest]], leaving them with strict orders not to cross Canyon Road which Chase was determined to obey. He also found the [[Lad Pioneers Handbook]] among the camping equipment and began reading up on its contents. When an apparent distress call from Cody had the four bots head to the Crest, Chase refused to go past Canyon Road, and ended up faking a litter emergency to get the human half of the team to come help after losing contact with the other three Rescue Bots. They found that the others had fallen afoul of an [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] field, and Chase ended up using a [[bubble tent]] to rescue Heatwave from the [[Old Parker]] geyser. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}} Chase and the other three Bots were washed out to sea with Cody and ended up on an inhabited island. Their attempts to build him shelter and gather food were less than successful, but they did manage to find traces of the ''[[Oaken Crow]]'', which led to them finding the ship and getting off the island. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}}<br />
<br />
Chasing a crashed meteorite on [[Wayward Island]], the team ran into [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. Chase, Heatwave and Boulder checked out the meteorite and were unwittingly exposed to an alien virus. They slowly became to lose the ability to move or speak, and it was only through the work of Bumblebee, Blades and the humans that a cure was found. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}} Chase and the team were called out to deal with a giant blob of [[Squilsh]]. Chase and the Chief tried to save some kids, and while protecting the Chief from the Squilsh, Chase was swallowed by it. He was barely able to communicate with the outside world on his comm, but the others eventually found a way to destroy the space goo, freeing him. {{storylink|You've Been Squilshed}}<br />
<br />
When most of the town was teleported away by strange [[Tracer (RB)|bugs]], Chase caught one for [[Graham Burns|Graham]] to examine. Back at the fire station, the bots had their work cut out for them squashing bugs, but they were eventually able to track down where the townsfolk had been teleported to and rescue them. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}} Chase's main problem with an apparent infestation of ghosts was their complete inability to follow any laws, and the fact they floated straight through him when he tried to stop them. They later turned out to be [[hologram]]s. {{storylink|The Haunting of Griffin Rock}}<br />
<br />
He was disturbed by Burns lying to the rest of the team about where they were going, though the Chief pointed out that Chase lied when he pretended to be a normal robot. He and the Chief ended up trapped in a lead mine and had to make their own way out, as the rest of the team didn't know they were there. Though the situation got worse when the pair were separated, Chase kept trying to reach the Chief and was eventually found by the rest of the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Little White Lies}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:ShakeUp have some pie.jpg|thumb|left|280px|Chase gets his audition to become [[Joker|The Joker]]'s ride.]]<br />
After failing to understand a comedy movie, Chase began researching the genre and mostly failed with his jokes. He and the other Bots had to be extra careful to act like robots when Frankie started filming them for her school project. {{storylink|Shake Up}} The Rescue Bots found themselves relegated to cleanup when Cody got hold of a [[repulsor badge]] and became a small town superhero. {{storylink|Rescue Boy}}<br />
<br />
Chase was too busy studying municipal codes to go see movies with Cody. He, the other Rescue Bots, Cody and Frankie were sent back in time to [[1939]] in a time travel accident. There they fell into the hands of a team of scientists headed by Doctor Morocco who performed experiments on them. Morocco was getting to the point of dissecting the four Bots when Optimus and Bumblebee came to their rescue. On returning to the present, they found that Morocco had taken over the town with the aid of his MorBots. {{storylink|It's a Bot Time}} The four bots managed to elude the MorBots and soon established that leaving [[Dither]] in the past had resulted in the changed. After an encounter with an alternate version of the Burns family, the Rescue Bots returned to 1939 and retrieved Dither, returning the timeline to normal. {{storylink|Bot to the Future}}<br />
<br />
While the other Rescue Bots were playing with the [[Mobile Headquarters]], Chase was doing more important work chasing speeders. During a later rescue, the Mobile HQ was teleported to the top of [[Mount Griffin]] along with Chase, Heatwave and Boulder, necessitating a rescue by Blades. {{storylink|Road Trip}} The Rescue Bots helped construct Frankie Greene's [[Sky Forest (structure)|Sky Forest]], only to have to rescue the town's citizens when the plant life grew out of control. {{storylink|Sky Forest (episode)|Sky Forest}} When Chief Burns became sick, Chase collected some mucus samples. He also helped capture Evan and Myles after the pair stole a piece of Doc Greene's [[stasis machine]], inadvertently resulting in Cody being aged into an adult. {{storylink|One for the Ages}}<br />
<br />
[[File:TipOfTheIceberg Chase pushes iceberg.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]<br />
Following reports of a sea monster, Chase accompanied Chief Burns and Cody on the [[Griffin Rock ferry]]. Though they didn't encounter a sea monster, Chase did save the vessel after it hit an unexpected iceberg. The iceberg turned out to be the [[S.S. Isolde]], frozen by the [[Sub-Zero Expander]] it carried as cargo, and Chase 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. {{storylink|Tip of the Iceberg}} Chase was confused why Cody was excited by the snow day when Griffin Rock was caught in a major snow storm. He later helped Cody and Blades escape the [[Griffin Rock Element Quest|virtual reality game]] after the storm prevented them from leaving. {{storylink|A Virtual Disaster}}<br />
<br />
[[File:BlameTheGremlins Chase fires net.jpg|thumb|left|280px]]<br />
Chase and the rest of the team were hypnotized and forced to dig up [[Blossom Vale]], which had formerly been a very nice recreation area with 82% less litter than other comparable such areas. They were eventually freed when Boulder destroyed the cell tower, and set to work repairing the damage to the vale. {{storylink|Spellbound}} The team was roped into participating in Huxley Prescott's reality show, however when Prescott manufactured emergencies to make the show more exciting, it caused a fire which endangered the town, and the show was 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}}<br />
<br />
When a monster was spotted during a star-gazing expedition with Cody, Chase and the other Rescue Bots helped the boy hunt for the beast, resulting in an encounter with it at an old cannery. It transpired that the "Magic Meat" that [[H.B. Luskey|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}}<br />
<br />
[[Woodrow Burns]] paid an unexpected visit to the island, and took Chase for a spin, which involved breaking the speed limit much to Chase's disgruntlement. The rescue team was joined by Optimus Prime shortly before they were forced to go on a rescue mission to find Woodrow and Cody in a cavern deep underground. {{storylink|What Lies Below}} Separated from the others, Chase did his best to protect Chief, Woodrow and Cody from lava, though the arguing and Woodrow's colorful language puzzled him. They were soon reunited with the rest of the team, though they had to face a pterodactyl, and eventually escaped by blasting themselves out of the top of Mount Magma. {{storylink|What Rises Above}}<br />
<br />
[[File:SpaceBots Chase at helm.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]<br />
The Rescue Bots had to bring out their spaceship for another mission to save Graham and Doc Greene after the space elevator they were on was hit by an asteroid. {{storylink|Space Bots}} The team had to deal with a runaway [[mechanical bull]], which turned out to be turned placid when it saw Chase's blue paint job. When a mishap occurred while transporting the creature to the [[Island of Misfit Tech]], he, Boulder and Blades ended up tussling with a prototype Scrapmaster. {{storylink|The Island of Misfit Tech}} The town's new central computer [[Vigil]] was unable to control the four Rescue Bots, so when it attempted to take control of Griffin Rock, the Bots were able to get the rest of the team into its vault to stop it. {{storylink|The Vigilant Town}}<br />
<br />
Chase and the other Rescue Bots went along on a nature hike which was interrupted by a snake infestation. Chase had a close encounter with a boa constrictor, but the team was able to successfully wrangle all the snakes. {{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}}<br />
<br />
[[File:BotsAndRobbers noir Chase.jpg|thumb|left|320px]]<br />
After educating himself on old detective movies, Chase began narrating everything film noir style. When Evan and Myles attempted to use him as a getaway car, Chase opted to play along, accompanying them to their hideout in an attempt to learn their plan, and even helping them break into the lab to steal [[Floatium]], leaving the rescue team wondering if he'd turned against them. Once Evan and Myles's [[Tech Wrecker]] was unveiled, Chase returned to the rest of the team and helped unravel the two criminals' plan and disable the device. {{storylink|Bots and Robbers}} Following the rescue of a dog, the Rescue Bots were joined in their work by [[Noble (RB)|Noble]], at least until the dog's real owner turned up to claim him. {{storylink|Rescue Dog}}<br />
<br />
The team had to deal with a storm without Heatwave, when their leader was called to the mainland to acquire a second alternate mode. {{storylink|Changes}} After the town's midwinter presents were sent to the bottom of the ocean in a ferry accident, Chase and the rest of the team took on the mantle of the [[Rider of Midwinter]] and delivered loaves of bread to the townsfolk. {{storylink|The Riders of Midwinter}} When a [[Power Planter]] was struck by lightning and ran wild, the team was forced to respond to a number of emergencies caused by it. They eventually succeeded in luring it into a trap using [[Boil Coil]]s and destroyed it. {{storylink|Movers and Shakers}}<br />
<br />
During Chief's absence due to a police conference (Chase requested copious notes) the team found itself under Woodrow's leadership, and Chase experienced jealousy of Woodrow's car after it took his parking spot. {{storylink|Chief Woodrow}} Chase took part in a hunt to find a relic. The device's effects caused a sinkhole which Chase and the Chief almost fell into, and they subsequently had to rescue people across the island until Optimus Prime shut the relic down. {{storylink|Odd Bot Out}} The rescue team was roped into completing a rail tunnel to the mainland, mainly because Mayor Luskey regarded the Bots as heavy machinery. When the [[Griffin Rock Express]] went out of control, the Bots had to rescue everyone on board, with the help of Frankie and her phasing technology. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Express}}<br />
<br />
[[File:DoubleVillainy Chase stuck to wall.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]<br />
Following a game of [[Rescue Ball]] which was interrupted by an impromptu rescue, Chase and the others found that Blades was acting strangely. They discovered why when they were abducted by Dr. Morocco and replaced by duplicates as Blades had been earlier. Morocco erased their memories and convinced them he had been appointed their Earth liaison by Optimus Prime. The Rescue Bots were promptly sent on a mission to mine gold under Griffin Rock, which barely got started before they triggered a methane explosion, and were confronted by the "criminal" Burns family. {{storylink|Double Villainy}}<br />
<br />
The suspicious Bots were taken back to the fire house, where the evidence soon convinced them that the Burns family was on their side and they'd been misled by Morocco. Unfortunately the methane explosion cause the island to begin to sink, and given the choice between helping out or regaining their memories, the Bots chose the former option. With the help of some tech from Doc Greene, the team was able to raise the island once again, and Morocco was forced to restore their memories. {{storylink|Rise of the Heroes}}<br />
<br />
Chase tried to help Cody with a [[Lad Pioneer]] project by holding a game show. During a routine inspection by Optimus, the team ended up heading to Wayward Island to investigate a pterodactyl. The Rescue Bots found a group of dinosaurs which chased them into a tar pit, and they had to be rescued by Optimus Prime. Once they established what the dinos were upset about, the team was able to get them to return to the underground cavern they'd come from. {{storylink|Land Before Prime (episode)|Land Before Prime}} When Optimus was abducted by big game hunter [[Quint Quarry]], Heatwave, Chase and Blades headed to Quarry's island to mount a rescue. The hunter managed to trap them in a cage and was about to take them off the island in his heli-jet when Optimus and Boulder came to their aid. {{storylink|Big Game}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Switcheroo Chase and Frankie.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]<br />
Following the accidental creation of four extra Kades, Chase and the team were saved from a gas leak by the quintet of Kades. {{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 a flooding disaster ended in a less-than-ideal manner, Chase recalled the stricken spaceship that the team had failed to rescue prior to coming to Earth. After again receiving the ship's distress signal, he and Boulder took the ''Sigma'' into space to try another rescue, though they found the crew was long gone. Again being attacked by the Energon eater, the pair successfully trapped it and returned with it to Earth. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}}<br />
<br />
After the town was sealed inside an energy dome by Vigil, Chase and the others pursued the AI to try to beat it to the dome controls in the lab. Chase and Blades managed to reach the lab first, but Vigil stuck them to the floor using the Collision Foam Cannon, leaving it to Frankie and Cody to save the day. {{storylink|No Place Like Dome}} In addition to helping Graham with his love life, Chase and the rest of the team had to deal with mutant metal-eating army ants courtesy of Doctor Morocco. {{storylink|Bugs in the System}}<br />
<br />
During a trip on the space elevator Asgard, Chase switched bodies with Frankie. Though perturbed by the experience, he adapted to being a small girl and gained a new insight into the fragility of humans. They were later returned to their own bodies. {{storylink|Switcheroo}} Chase and the rest of the team were shrunken down to microscopic size so they could enter Kade's body and retrieve the [[scrubmite]]s he'd accidentally ingested. {{storylink|Bot-Tastic Voyage}} Following Professor Baranova's abduction at the hands of Colonel Quarry, Chase scanned a stegosaurus alternate mode so he and the other Rescue Bots, plus Optimus, could masquerade as the dinobots Quarry wanted Doc Greene to build. They were taken to an island by Quarry and put through their paces, before he took them to a boat so he could ship them off to be sold. Luckily Blades, who'd been having trouble with his alternate mode, was able to rescue them and Quarry was arrested. {{Storylink|Quarry's Quarry}}<br />
<br />
[[File:AttackOfHumungado dinoChase.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]<br />
Chase and the rest of the team visited Wayward Island to search for an energon trace, but found a frozen caveman in a cave. The caveman turned out to still be alive once he was thawed, but despite the team's best efforts, "[[Ira]]" proved unable to adapt to the modern world and had to be returned to the island. {{storylink|Did You See What I Thaw?}} The team had to cope with giant Kaiju created when Doc Greene's new projector was used to screen ''[[Humungado|Attack of Humungado]]'', and ended up using their dino modes to combat the beasts. {{storylink|The Attack of Humungado}}<br />
<br />
The mayor decided to honor the rescue team by holding [[Bot Appreciation Week]], however a clash in schedules resulted in the Burns family being off the island for the start. The Rescue Bots found they had to contend with the souvenir versions of themselves running amok thanks to Evan and Myles reprogramming them. {{storylink|All Bots Great and Small}} 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}}<br />
<br />
After the discovery that the Burns family had a pirate in their ancestry and the suspension of the rescue team, Chase was the responsible one who stayed back on the island to monitor things while the rest of the team went treasure hunting. After the treasure was found, the team was reinstated. {{storylink|Pirates Ahoy}} The Rescue Bots found themselves being trained in marine rescues by [[High Tide]], though Chase spent most of the time working on his swabbing skills. He later took part in a rescue when an oil spill caught fire. {{storylink|Turning the Tide}}<br />
<br />
[[File:NewRecruits Chase does not like hugs.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]<br />
When the time traveler [[Jules Verne]] visited, Chase helped apprehend Dr. Morocco. {{storylink|The Last of Morocco}} When the Rescue Bots found two Autobots, [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] and [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]] on Wayward Island, Optimus assigned the team to train them. Chase was not impressed with Blurr's recklessness, lying about his past, and flagrant hugging, but Optimus convinced the team to give Blurr another chance. {{storylink|The New Recruits}} When Cody suggested the Rescue Bots provide the newbies with more personalized training, Chase took the opportunity to mine the database of security footage of their rescues that he'd built up, to create a presentation. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy (episode)|Rescue Bots Academy}} After Blurr stole the ''Sigma'', Chase was all in favor of a court martial, especially when a solar flare knocked out the island's power and they didn't have the ship to stop a rogue satellite crashing on them. He was still in favor even after Blurr saved the day, though Heatwave gave Blurr another chance and Optimus assigned Blurr and Salvage elsewhere. {{storylink|A New Hero}}<br />
<br />
Chase joined in searching for Servo after the dog cut a swathe of destruction through Griffin Rock, though it later turned out Servo had actually been helping people. {{Storylink|Four-Legged Hero}} Chase, Boulder, Blades and the kids attempted to guard some endangered woodpeckers Boulder found, however their activity resulted in the rest of the town finding out and inadvertently wrecking the woodpeckers' habitat. {{storylink|Endangered Species}}<br />
<br />
[[File:IHaveHeardTheRobotsSinging Chase in spotlight.jpg|right|thumb|290px]]<br />
After sustaining an injury to his right leg when he interceded in a magic trick which he didn't understand was an illusion, Chase was restricted to a wheelchair and attempted to do Cody's job monitoring Griffin Rock for trouble. After raising several false alarms, Chase became suspicious that the assistant of visiting magician [[Maura the Magnificent]] was behind a number of thefts and roped Frankie into tailing the suspect. He was eventually proven right, but had to abandon his wheelchair in order to save Maura from a plummet off [[Griffin Falls]]. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RB)|More than Meets the Eye}} When Doc Greene's [[Tone-O-Tuner]] caused everyone in town to sing instead of talk, Chase found himself lecturing new recruits on police codes using the medium of song. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}}<br />
<br />
Chase accompanied Doc Greene and the Chief into a disused diamond mine and helped them extract a sample of [[reactaline]]. He and the other Rescue Bots took part in the opening of a time capsule, which resulted in the entire island being teleported to the [[Arctic]]. The four Bots had to deice the generators so that the island's dome could be raised. {{storylink|Now and Then}} As the team enacted a plan to fill the dome with floatium and fly the island back, Chase had to rescue Doc Greene and Professor Baranova when the ground started giving way. The journey continued, but the Rescue Bots were forced to use their own energon to power the dome. They successfully reached Griffin Rock's old location, and after some medical attention, the Rescue Bots recovered. Optimus gave them a new mission, to let the rest of the town in on their secret. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}<br />

Some years later, Chase had been integrated into life on Earth to the point that he was writing a detective novel. He and the other Rescue Bots helped resist the [[Velgrox]] invasion, and in doing so revealed their status as visitors from another world to the Griffin Rock community. {{storylink|New Normal}} While the townsfolk decided whether to keep their secret, Chase and Heatwave tested out the new [[GroundBridge]] to the mainland and ended up stuck in the [[Sahara]]. They managed to get back to Griffin Rock, where the townsfolk voted to keep their secret. {{storylink|Bridge Building}}<br />
<br />
Chase regrettably had to cut short a three hour presentation on law enforcement to attend to an emergency. Another GroundBridge accident sent him and Heatwave to the mainland, and resulted in them bringing a car back to the island who later turned out to be the Rescue Bot [[Quickshadow]]. {{Storylink|Arrivals}} Suspicious of the new arrival, Chase investigated [[Quickshadow]], though she was able to explain why she didn't appear in Chase's database. When Heatwave placed her in charge of an operation, Chase made the precaution of coming up with a contingency plan, which paid off when something went wrong and Quickshadow didn't have a plan B herself. {{storylink|Plus One (RB)|Plus One}}<br />
<br />
Following a mishap in which the town pool froze over, Chase patrolled the town while the rest of the team visited the [[Griffin Rock Fun Zone|Fun Zone]], only to find himself facing an angry crowd at the bank when a [[Morocco virus|virus]] temporarily took over the computers there. His attempts at humor failed to defuse the situation. {{storylink|Back to Virtual Reality}} When investors were looking at redeveloping the island, the Rescue Bots used Velgrox technology to make themselves invisible and pretend to be ghosts to scare them off. {{storylink|Vanishing Returns}}<br />
<br />
The team took part in [[Halloween|Earliween]] celebrations and Chase struck on the idea of using their dino modes as "costumes". He was left handing out candy with Graham while the rest of the team stopped Evan and Myles from kidnapping Quickshadow. The whole team later enacted a plan to capture the pair. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (RB)|Ghost in the Machine}} When Whiskers was abducted from the zoo, the Rescue Bots used their dino modes as bait to lure big game hunter [[Thurston Chumley|Lord Chumley]]. Though they themselves were captured, they made the most of their situation, both finding Whiskers and bringing the rest of the team to help arrest Chumley. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RB)|Enemy of My Enemy}}<br />
<br />
[[File:MayorMayNot Mayor Chase.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Making Griffin Rock lawful again.]]<br />
During election season, Chase was encouraged to run for mayor. Despite not being the best at public speaking, he won running against Luskey and insisted on taking office. His strict adherence to many obscure laws caused chaos, culminating in the near destruction of the island when he locked Doc Greene out of the laboratory and a [[minimolecular collider]] almost overloaded. He reluctantly stepped down, allowing Luskey to take back the mayoralty. {{storylink|Mayor May Not}}<br />
<br />
After dealing with a marine rescue and a giant baby, the Rescue Bots got to celebrate [[All Spark Day (event)|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 — Chase became a taxi, though he didn't have much luck with passengers. The townsfolk later chipped in with enough cash to replace the tower. {{storylink|Part-Time Heroes}}<br />
<br />
Chase and Chief were delayed attending the opening of the new mainland [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] when they had to fix Jerry's truck, and Chase had to prevent it falling off the mountain. 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, including more lawbreaking by Don, until the problem was fixed. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}<br />
<br />
During a series of motor races, the Bots had to first deal with a collapsing stand full of spectators, and then with runaway racers thanks to an errant invention. {{storylink|Hot Rod Bot}} When the Burns family discovered they might be royalty and Kade was crowned king, Chase appointed himself as royal bodyguard, until it later turned out that the whole thing was a mistake. {{storylink|King Burns}} During the town's Pizza Pi Party, the team had to deal with a rapidly-expanding monster mound of pizza dough. {{storylink|Pizza Pi Party}}<br />
<br />
[[File:UninvitedGuest Chase energon eater.jpg|thumb|left|280px]]<br />
While running practice drills in the Training Center, the team had to save a Cybertronian ship that crash-landed. When it turned out Bumblebee was on board, the Rescue Bots took him on a tour of the center, however Heatwave and Chase were attacked and knocked out by an energon eater than had come down with the craft. Once it was captured, the others revived them. {{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. {{storylink|Camp Cody}}<br />
<br />
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}}<br />
<br />
[[File:FamilyBusiness Chase salutes.jpg|thumb|right|260px]]<br />
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. Though Chase was uncomfortable with the idea of stealing, he successfully disabled Pynch's car with road spikes (under the code name '''Spike'''), and later loaded the Energon onto Dani's jet with Kade. {{storylink|Cody's 11}} The Bots found themselves having to maintain their robot disguises when [[Maven Danger]] stayed at the firehouse as research for his new movie, though it later turned out the visit was just so Maven's agent [[Skip Scobble]] could attempt to steal a rare book. {{storylink|A Brush with Danger}}<br />
<br />
When Dani's test space mission ran into trouble, the team headed into space in the ''Sigma'' to mount a rescue, with Chase providing the second stage to a jetpack-assisted Rescue Bot rocket. {{storylink|To Infinity... And Back}} Chase subtly pointed Cody in the direction of law enforcement when the buy was trying to decide what sort of rescue worker he'd become. {{storylink|Family Business}}<br />
<br />
The team was surprised to discover a whole town in [[China]] knew about them, when they were called there to deal with some out-of-control [[Scrubmite|Scrubbers]]. Afterwards Optimus promptly reassigned them, with Chase leading a team consisting of Boulder and Blurr to protect Professor Baranova's laboratory on the west coast. When it turned out the Morocco virus was back and had built a new MorBot, the team were unable to stop him from stealing technology from the lab. {{storylink|Upgrades}} The team came back from a hike to discover that Morocco was still around and had taken over the Training Center. After Blurr and Baranova reached the center, they were able to use the GroundBridge to bring Chase, Boulder and Graham in to help devirus the mainframe. Optimus later assigned Chase back to Griffin Rock to continue working with Chief. {{storylink|Transformations}}<br />

[[File:WhirldView Chase thumbs up.jpg|thumb|left|290px]]<br />
Chase had the new recruits run an assault course as part of their rescue training, with [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] and [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] going first as they'd built up a rivalry. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}}<br />
<br />
During a lecture on police codes, the recruits convinced Chase that they would learn better by doing a field rescue, so he set up a hiker training rescue for them in the wilderness. He later halted the improvised sled they used to return to the GroundBridge portal. {{storylink|Whirl'd View}} A giant statue of Chase's face was carved into a mountain near Griffin Rock, alongside the faces of the other Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}}<br />
<br />
During a mission to the ''Asgard'', the Rescue Bots got trapped outside and had to wait for the recruits to come to their rescue. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} The Rescue Bots were later on another urgent off-world mission. {{storylink|All Washed Up}} When the recruits had difficulty concentrating during a lesson, Chase instead had them take on the lesson as a simulation, unaware that Hot Shot had modified the sim to include giant space hedgehogs. {{storylink|Hack Attack}} [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] enlisted Chase's help in lightening up as the other recruits thought he was a stick in the mud. Chase's lessons were of dubious help. {{storylink|Life of the Party}} Chase and the other teachers were away from the academy when a dinosaur got loose in it, leaving Hoist to be the one to deal with it. {{storylink|Dino Hard}}<br />
<br />
[[File:BestBotsForever1 Chase Grimlock stuck.jpg|thumb|right|230px]]<br />
Chase assigned the recruits a stealth exercise, having them hunt down [[Tough Luck Chuck]] in Griffin Rock while he tried to find them. In the end, only [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] was successful. {{storylink|Buddy Cop}} After having the recruits run a trust exercise, Chase gave them a mission to replace a battery in a submersible drone at the bottom of the sea. {{storylink|Into the Depths}} Chase participated in a teachers vs students relay race, carrying Grimlock as a pretend rescue victim, but became lodged in an ice cave when Grimlock proved too large to pass through. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} Chase along with Optimus, Heatwave and Cody became trapped in an energon bubble after the recruits tampered with the space bridge. They were eventually freed, and Chase attended the year one graduation. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}<br />

*'''Chase the Police-Bot & Chief Charlie Burns''' (2012)<br />
: A nontransformable figurine of Chase comes in a two-pack with a figure of Chief Charlie Burns. Chase has an "[[Energize]]"-themed claw hand, universal articulation at the shoulders, rotational articulation at the head and wrists, and both legs (a single piece) can rotate into a sitting position at the same time. <br />

===Beam Box===<br />
*'''Chase the Police-Bot''' (<s>2013</s>)<br />

:Chase is a non-transforming figure with no articulation, mounted on a rocky base. Inserting him into the Beam Box Game System unlocks Chase in the game.<br />
<br />
:The figure was solicited as part of the assortment's first wave, but appears to have never been released. The reason for this becomes apparent if one "fools" the Beam Box console's simple, button-based recognition system into thinking a Chase figure has been placed inside – the controls for the Chase game do not respond, effectively freezing the console until it is reset. Apparently Hasbro simply neglected to release Chase rather than recall and/or re-manufacture the Beam Box itself.<br />

<br />
The team leader of the [[Rescue Bot]]s, '''Heatwave''' was given his position because of how deeply he cares for his team and their mission. However, he is a bot of action at heart who dreams of one day joining [[Team Prime]], and sometimes has little patience for anything he sees as getting in the way of his mission, including staying in disguise as non-sentient vehicles and working with [[human]] partners.<br />
<br />
When he goes into action, though, no blaze is too strong for his armor. With built-in water cannons, a rescue hook, and a fireman's axe, he's well prepared to take on the most stubborn fires and most intense rescue missions. He partners with the other Rescue Bots and with their newest human teammates, [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Cody Burns]], though he and Kade are frequently at odds as their egos clash.<br />

[[File:PrimeAlert Heatwave rolls out.jpg|thumb|left|260px|]]<br />
Heatwave was the leader of the Rescue Bot team on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. They received a message from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] to join him on [[Earth]], and immediately hopped in their spaceship. On arrival on the new planet, Optimus gave him a new alternate mode, a fire truck, and they headed for [[Griffin Rock]]. [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] accidentally chopped down a tree with his rotors, requiring some quick work by the rest of the team to prevent more damage. They finally reached their destination, where Optimus introduced them to [[Charlie Burns|Chief Charlie]]. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Roll Out}} Heatwave's first mission was to go to the [[Fire Safety Training Center]] for training, and there he rescued a cat and extinguished a fire. He soon after received an emergency alert from [[Fire Station Prime|Prime Fire Station]], and rushed back across town to find the station on fire. After rescuing Chief Charlie and [[Cody Burns]], he and Cody became partners, and were assigned the important task of giving [[Sparkplug (RB)|Sparkplug]] a bath. {{storylink|Prime Alert}}<br />
<br />
After the team at the station were joined by Blades, the two Rescue Bots and Cody headed out to another emergency, however Blades's radio was damaged, making it difficult for Heatwave to give him orders. While Heatwave battled the forest fire, Blades accidentally fanned the fire with his rotors until Heatwave and Cody were able to shoo him away. Blades discovered where his partner and the other endangered humans were, and led Heatwave to them. Heatwave and Cody were able to finish putting out the fire, and returned to Prime Fire Station covered in soot. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Respond}} [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Boulder]] later arrived at the station to complete the team, and Heatwave and Blades were there to welcome them. {{storylink|Rapid Rescue}}<br />

On Cybertron, Heatwave was a three time [[Lobbing]] champion. {{storylink|Road Trip}}<br />
<br />
Heatwave and his team were finishing a routine patrol in space when they received a distress call. Investigating, they found they'd been marked as lunch by an [[Energon eater]], and had to put themselves in stasis and power down their ship to escape it. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} Sometime later, the ''[[Sigma]]'' received a transmission from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and landed on [[Earth]]. After dropping the bombshell that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was no more, Optimus appointed Heatwave team leader and assigned them to [[Griffin Rock]] to work with the Burns family. The four Rescue Bots were presented to the public by [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] at a ceremony, following which Heatwave and his new partner, [[Kade Burns]], drove to the [[Griffin Rock natural history museum|museum]] to attend to a fire. Heatwave was disgruntled when Kade took the credit for his saving Chief Burns and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] from a falling dinosaur statue head. That night, [[Cody Burns]] discovered the Rescue Bots' secret, and after they helped stop a rogue robot ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', Chief Burns revealed the truth to the rest of the team. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}<br />

Heatwave and Kade continued having trouble working together, with Kade even preferring to drive a non-transforming firetruck. After [[Mount Magma]] started spewing lava and threatening the island, the pair were forced to work together, driving through a tunnel under the island to stop the lava from reaching the bunker under the fire station. {{storylink|Under Pressure}} Following the rescue of [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]], Heatwave felt under-appreciated by the humans. He was amused when [[Dani Burns|Dani]] fitted a scoop claw to [[Blades (RB)|Blades]], but less so when the pair started upstaging the other Rescue Bots at rescues, and even threatened to forcibly remove the device from his comrade. Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots came to Blades's rescue when he was struck by lightning and unable to fly, after which Dani sent some appreciation their way and Blades promised not to use the claw as much. {{storylink|Hotshots}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Heatwave with children.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Urge to kill...rising...]]<br />
After another rescue of Doc Greene, Heatwave was still disgruntled and refused to take part in the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]], instead staying back at the fire station to watch it on TV. When the town was attacked by [[flobster]]s, he ventured out to help the other Rescue Bots fight the flying critters, resulting in him later having to endure being climbed on by children. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}} Following the rescue of a truck of hazardous materials, Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were subjected to a screening of ''[[The Natives of Tatooie]]'', which accidentally resulted in [[Huxley Prescott]] causing a mass panic by reporting an alien invasion. The Rescue Bots had to destroy Prescott's [[SETI]] dish to save the island. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}}<br />
<br />
Heatwave's attempt to stop [[Harrison (RB)|Mr. Harrison]]'s heli-pack ride with water only resulted in an umbrella shop being flooded. When [[Boulder]] was taken over by nanites, Heatwave threatened to physically intervene, though Blades suspected Boulder would come out on top in that match-up. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}} <br />
<br />
Called out about a cat in a tree, Heatwave saved [[Neederlander|Mrs. Neederlander]] when she fell out of a tree, and was rewarded with a slap in the face. The next day, he helped hunt a [[Whiskers|lion]] and return a bunch of lemurs to the [[Griffin Rock Zoo|zoo]]. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}} When a rescue went wrong, Heatwave managed to fish Kade and [[Don|another human]] out of a river using his fire hose. Cody roped the Rescue Bots, including "Uncle Heatwave", into helping him look after a [[Robo-Baby]]. The Robo-Baby seemed to like Heatwave best of all. After the baby went missing during a call-out, the bots had to rescue it from a wind farm. Heatwave caught it in mid-air after it fell from a windmill. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:DeepTrouble Heatwave jumps shark.jpg|thumb|left|290px|"Just keep swimming...just keep swimming..."]]<br />
During a heatwave, Heatwave did not appreciate being used as a sprinkler. When a weather machine went out of control, he and the other Rescue Bots had to spring into action attending snow-related emergencies around town. {{storylink|Christmas in July}} Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were invited on the Burns' annual fishing trip on the ''[[Darby Ava]]''. Heatwave didn't really get the whole fishing thing until they encountered a [[shark submarine|mechanical shark]] and he got to wrestle it. He, [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and Boulder eventually managed to disable the sub, though it self-destructed soon after. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RB)|Deep Trouble}}<br />
<br />
The Rescue Bots had to help stop out-of-control technology one foggy day, when the Griffin Rock mainframe was hacked into. Heatwave had to rescue the mayor from the town hall when a garbage truck trapped him inside. {{storylink|Return of the Dino Bot}} When [[Doctor Morocco]] turned up with his [[MorBot]] and threatened to overshadow the Rescue Bots, the team was forced to compete with the doctor's invention to prove themselves worthy. Thanks to Morocco's machinations, they failed and were stood down from service. Heatwave was particularly angry at the loss. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} Accepting defeat, he attempted to make contact with Optimus Prime to get reassigned and considered getting their ship working again. After being called out to a fire at the lab, the Rescue Bots got the chance to exact some payback on the MorBot. The team was subsequently reinstated as Griffin Rock's rescue service. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:SmallBlessings Kade rescues Hayley.jpg|thumb|right|260px|Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.]]<br />
After helping Kade rescue [[Hayley]], a girl Kade was interested in, Heatwave was annoyed by Kade blowing him off to go on a date. When he and the rest of the team turned up to a break-in at the [[Hall of Inspiration]], Heatwave was forced to protect Kade and as a result was shrunk to the size of an ant by the [[Minimizer]]. He was joined by the similarly shrunken Boulder and Blades, and the trio ended up in the sewer. After braving huge rats and a torrent of water, they made it to the [[Griffin Rock dam]], where they rescued Kade and alerted the rest of the team to the fact that the dam was near bursting. Cody later used the Minimizer to return them to their normal sizes. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} Heatwave helped save [[Wild (RB)|Captain Wild]]'s ship and found "tunnel 15" in the tunnels below Griffin Rock. This led the team to discover [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]]'s ''[[Midgard]]'' at the bottom of an ocean trench, and they helped her seal the methane vent causing the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]]. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}<br />
<br />
After the daring rescue of Huxley Prescott by the four bots, Chief left them with Kade in charge, however when they got an apparent SOS from Cody and Kade was unable to be contacted, Heatwave made the decision to disobey the Chief's orders and venture into [[Griffin Crest]]. He, Blades and Boulder were subsequently caught by the [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] field there and immobilized on top of [[Old Parker]], necessitating a rescue by Chase and the human half of the team. He was forced to concede that sticking to the rules sometimes worked. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}} Heatwave and the other three Bots were washed out to sea with Cody and ended up on an inhabited island. Their attempts to build him shelter and gather food were less than successful, but they did manage to find traces of the ''[[Oaken Crow]]'', which led to them finding the ship and getting off the island. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:YouveBeenSquilshed Heatwave wields telephone pole.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Heatwave doesn't just throw javelins, he throws ''electrified'' javelins!]]<br />
Chasing a crashed meteorite on [[Wayward Island]], the team ran into [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. Heatwave, Boulder and Chase checked out the meteorite and were unwittingly exposed to an alien virus. They slowly lost the ability to move or speak, and it was only through the work of Bumblebee, Blades and the humans that a cure was found. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}} Heatwave and the team were called out to deal with a giant rampaging blob of space slime. He was particularly incensed when it ate Chase, and though his water didn't help stop the blob, he found zapping it with electricity did, and the discovery ultimately led to the [[Squilsh]]'s defeat. {{storylink|You've Been Squilshed}}<br />
<br />
After most of the town disappeared, Heatwave and the other Bots found themselves fighting small mechanical bugs. He took Cody, [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] and Kade to the lab so they could check the information on the computer there, but after all three of them vanished as well, it was up to Heatwave and his team to work out where the humans had been teleported to. After locating the cavern in question, they were able to rescue the townsfolk. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}} When Griffin Rock was infested by what appeared to be ghosts, Heatwave was mostly just frustrated that he couldn't hit them. When they turned out to just be holograms, he took great delight in catching the perpetrators by hosing them down to work out which were the real humans. {{storylink|The Haunting of Griffin Rock}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:ShakeUp Heatwave protects Frankie.jpg|thumb|right|280px|If he slips and falls, Heatwave'd have a ''looot'' of explaining to do about the red stain on his windscreen.]]<br />
When Kade challenged Graham to a race, Heatwave did the driving and ended up demolishing a fire hydrant. After Chase and the Chief went missing, Heatwave and the others searched all night for them, eventually tracking them down to the lead mine where the team had to rescue them. {{storylink|Little White Lies}} Heatwave was annoyed when Kade ordered the Bots to take part in Frankie's film for school. The Bots soon had problems attending to an earthquake and acting like robots at the same time, but when Frankie followed them into the tunnels under the town, Heatwave had to come rescue her from a cave-in. In the process of doing so, he had to drop his cover, but she was passed out and didn't notice. {{storylink|Shake Up}} After Heatwave took part in a rescue at a pyrotechnics factory, Cody got a [[repulsor badge]] that gave him superhero powers. The Bots ended up being relegated to cleanup, at least until the badge overloaded and they had to rescue Cody from a bubble of energy. {{storylink|Rescue Boy}}<br />
<br />
Heatwave was roped into taking part in a photo op with Kade. When the four bots attended the testing of a [[Temporal Station|time machine]], he sheltered Cody and Frankie, and thus when the four Bots were propelled back in time to [[1939]], so were the kids. Heatwave had the rest of his team keep up the pretense of being robots, and they were subjected to a number of tests before Morocco pinned them to a wall and prepared to dissect them. Luckily Optimus and Bumblebee came to their rescue, and the team returned to the present, only to find that Morocco was in control of Griffin Rock. {{storylink|It's a Bot Time}} They soon established that leaving [[Dither]] in the past was a mistake. After an encounter with an alternate version of the Burns family, the Rescue Bots returned to 1939 and retrieved Dither, returning the timeline to normal. {{storylink|Bot to the Future}}<br />
<br />
[[File:RoadTrip Heatwave vs bear.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Man, those Junior Woodchuck roaring lessons came in real handy!]]<br />
Heatwave soon learned to drive the newly-acquired [[Mobile Headquarters]], using it to stop a speeding driver. An incident with Doc Greene's [[Vacuum Accelerator]] resulted in the Mobile HQ and three of the Rescue Bots being teleported around the island. After a stop atop [[Mount Griffin]], Heatwave threw the device away, only to find they needed it to rescue Kade from the forest. {{storylink|Road Trip}} The Rescue Bots helped construct Frankie Greene's [[Sky Forest (structure)|Sky Forest]], only to have to rescue the town's citizens when the plant life grew out of control. {{storylink|Sky Forest (episode)|Sky Forest}} When Chief Burns was ill, Heatwave had to contend with Kade appointing himself head honcho, and Cody being accidentally aged into an adult in a lab experiment. He helped track down Evan and Myles, and was amused when Kade was temporarily de-aged into a child by the equipment they'd stolen. {{storylink|One for the Ages}}<br />
<br />
When an iceberg was discovered that was actually a frozen [[S.S. Isolde|ship]] carrying a dangerous [[Sub-Zero Expander]], Heatwave 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. {{storylink|Tip of the Iceberg}} After the Bots saved a skier when a huge snow storm hit Griffin Rock, Heatwave scolded Blades for not helping him evade an avalanche. When Blades and Cody got trapped in ''[[Griffin Rock Element Quest]]'', a new virtual reality game in the Hall of Inspiration, Heatwave made sure the power didn't go out by holding two electrical lines together, which caused him to be temporarily dazed after being electrocuted. He later entered the game himself and was surprised to see that Blades was protecting Cody very well. He helped the two defeat the game and was teleported out. Heatwave later commended Blades for his courage. {{storylink|A Virtual Disaster}}<br />
<br />
[[File:BlameTheGremlins Heatwave tells off Kade.jpg|thumb|right|250px|]]<br />
Heatwave was confused and irritated by Kade ignoring emergency calls about fires, until he was hypnotized by one of the cellphones which were bringing the island's inhabitants under their control. Heatwave was forced to dig up [[Blossom Vale]] until the cell tower was destroyed. {{storylink|Spellbound}} Huxley Prescott roped the rescue team into taking part in a reality show, but started manufacturing his emergencies to make the show more exciting. As a result, Heatwave ran out of water to fight a forest fire, and had to use maple syrup instead. {{storylink|Prescott's Bots}} When Kade's nightmares about [[gremlin]]s started affecting his work, Heatwave told him to deal with them. Unfortunately this ended with the team having to face a horde of [[gremlin]]s, conjured from Kade's nightmares by Doc Greene's [[Nightmare Imaging Device]]. {{storylink|Blame the Gremlins}}<br />
<br />
When a monster was spotted during a star-gazing expedition with Cody, Heatwave was doused with skunk smell. He and the other Rescue Bots helped Cody hunt for the beast, resulting in an encounter with it at an old cannery. It transpired that the "Magic Meat" that [[H.B. Luskey|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}}<br />
<br />
[[File:SpaceBots Heatwave flying in space.jpg|thumb|left|280px|Y'know, that scene in WALL-E was so much more ''effective'' with a partner.]]<br />
During a visit by [[Woodrow Burns]], Heatwave realized a photo he'd taken of a cavern showed [[energon]], and alerted Optimus. Once Optimus arrived to help mine the energon, the mission instead turned into a rescue, as Woodrow and Cody had become trapped in a cavern deep underground. {{storylink|What Lies Below}} Separated from the rest of the team, Optimus and Heatwave discovered the main shaft of Mount Magma, and nearby, a sizable deposit of energon. When they were later reunited with the rest of the team, they were able to ignite the energon in a plan to blast themselves out of the top of the volcano. Optimus later farewelled the Rescue Bots, informing Heatwave that he should prepare for greater responsibility some time soon. {{storylink|What Rises Above}}<br />
<br />
Following the launch of the ''[[Asgard]]'' and its collision with an asteroid, Heatwave and the team had to intercept debris falling on the town. The Rescue Bots fired up their spaceship and went up to rescue the crew of the ''Asgard'', with Heatwave himself jumping over to the space elevator and retrieving Doc Greene and Graham. {{storylink|Space Bots}} When the team had to deal with a [[mechanical bull]], they discovered it was made hostile by Heatwave's red color scheme. They managed to get it to the laboratory where Cody was accidentally sent with it to the [[Island of Misfit Tech]]. Heatwave volunteered to travel there, but quickly lost his recall tag and ended up fighting metal-eating insects until Cody came to the rescue with the help of the mechanical bull. Joined by Kade, the trio were able to return to Griffin Rock in time to help deal with a Scrapmaster. {{storylink|The Island of Misfit Tech}}<br />
<br />
[[File:BuddySystem Heatwave and snake.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Alright, who's the wiseguy who tried to replace my hose with a live snake?!]]<br />
The town's new central computer [[Vigil]] was unable to control the four Rescue Bots, so when it attempted to take control of Griffin Rock, the Bots were able to get the rest of the team into its vault to stop it. {{storylink|The Vigilant Town}} Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots went along on a nature hike, however when the hike was interrupted by a snake infestation in town, Heatwave was forced to put up with Kade and Dani bickering and discovered he had a particular dislike of snakes. {{storylink|Buddy System}} Heatwave, Blades and Boulder accompanied Graham and Cody to Wayward Island, where they discovered a lodestone super-magnet that was causing metal objects to be pulled towards it all the way from Griffin Rock. {{storylink|In Search of the Griffin's Nest}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Changes Heatwave as boat.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Sooo, does this make me a Triple-Changer?]]<br />
When Chase appeared to join Evan and Myles during a crime spree by the pair, Heatwave believed that he'd switched sides. It later turned out Chase had merely gone undercover to learn the pair's plan, though as Heatwave later pointed out, he should have let them know. {{storylink|Bots and Robbers}} Following the rescue of a dog, Heatwave was confused by the concept of dog ownership, until [[Noble (RB)|Noble]] turned out to be a capable rescuer who joined the Rescue Bots in their work. {{storylink|Rescue Dog}} Called to the mainland by Optimus Prime, Heatwave received additional training, allowing him to focus his energies in preparation to take on a third mode. As he and Kade headed back to Griffin Rock, he ended up scanning a sunken fire boat in order to come to the aid of the rest of the team. {{storylink|Changes}}<br />
<br />
After a sea rescue Heatwave took part in resulted in everyone's midwinter holiday presents sinking to the bottom of the ocean, Heatwave and the rest of the team took on the mantle of the [[Rider of Midwinter]] and delivered loaves of bread to the townsfolk. {{storylink|The Riders of Midwinter}} When a [[Power Planter]] was struck by lightning and ran wild, the team was forced to respond to a number of emergencies caused by it. They eventually succeeded in luring it into a trap using [[Boil Coil]]s and Heatwave tricked it into driving off a cliff. {{storylink|Movers and Shakers}} During Chief Burns's absence from the island, the team found itself under Woodrow's leadership. {{storylink|Chief Woodrow}}<br />
<br />
While the other Rescue Bots prepared for Bumblebee's visit, Heatwave utilized his new boat mode to help Cody and Frankie test Doc Greene's new [[Ski-neakers]], and rescued the pair when a wave threatened them. Bumblebee turned out to be on the hunt for a relic, and Heatwave helped in the search. Afterwards he and Kade helped rescue people when a right whale sank the ferry. {{storylink|Odd Bot Out}} The rescue team was roped into completing a rail tunnel to the mainland, mainly because Mayor Luskey regarded the Bots as heavy machinery. When the [[Griffin Rock Express]] went out of control, the Bots had to rescue everyone on board, with the help of Frankie and her phasing technology. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Express}}<br />
<br />
[[File:OddBotOut Heatwave rescues Chase.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Heatwave's attempt at wearing a feather boa didn't quite go as planned.]]<br />
Following a game of [[Rescue Ball]] which was interrupted by an impromptu rescue, Chase and the others found that Blades was acting strangely. They discovered why when they were abducted by Dr. Morocco and replaced by duplicates as Blades had been earlier. Morocco erased their memories and convinced them he had been appointed their Earth liaison by Optimus Prime. The Rescue Bots were promptly sent on a mission to mine gold under Griffin Rock, which barely got started before they trigged a methane explosion, and were confronted by the "criminal" Burns family. {{storylink|Double Villainy}}<br />
<br />
The suspicious Bots were taken back to the fire house, where the evidence soon convinced them that the Burns family was on their side and they'd been misled by Morocco. Unfortunately the methane explosion cause the island to begin to sink, and given the choice between helping out or regaining their memories, the Bots chose the former option, though at least Heatwave was restored to his position as team leader. With the help of some tech from Doc Greene, the team was able to raise the island once again, and Morocco was forced to restore their memories. {{storylink|Rise of the Heroes}}<br />
<br />
During a routine inspection by Optimus, Heatwave led his team to Wayward Island to investigate a pterodactyl appearance. The Rescue Bots found a group of dinosaurs which chased them into a tar pit, and they had to be rescued by Optimus Prime. Once they established what the dinosaurs were upset about, the team was able to get them to return to the underground cavern they'd come from. {{storylink|Land Before Prime (episode)|Land Before Prime}} When Optimus was abducted by big game hunter [[Quint Quarry]], Heatwave, Chase and Blades headed to Quarry's island to mount a rescue. The hunter managed to trap them in a cage and was about to take them off the island in his heli-jet when Optimus and Boulder came to their aid. {{storylink|Big Game}}<br />
<br />
[[File:TooManyKades Heatwave buffs himself.jpg|thumb|left|260px|Where's [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] when you need him?]]<br />
Kade's obnoxious behavior led Heatwave to "accidentally" soak him while the team was rounding up clones of Mister Pettypaws created by the Imaging Device. Shortly thereafter another test of the device resulted int the creation of four more Kades, and Heatwave was amused when the Kades argued amongst themselves, though not so much when their squabbling almost caused an accident. The Kades later saved Heatwave and the rest of 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}}<br />
<br />
Heatwave related the story of the Energon eater to Cody one story night. Following a flooding disaster, Heatwave allowed Chase and Boulder to go into space to attempt to help the stricken ship that had sent out the original distress call, and had to attempt to cover for the pair in their absence. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} After the town was sealed inside an energy dome by Vigil, Heatwave and the others pursued the AI to try to beat it to the dome controls in the lab, but both Heatwave and Boulder ended up stuck under old cars in the scrapyard. {{storylink|No Place Like Dome}}<br />
<br />
[[File:BotTasticVoyage Heatwave sits on sofa.jpg|thumb|right|280px|...Where's the remote?]]<br />
In addition to helping Graham with his love life, Heatwave and the rest of the team had to deal with mutant metal-eating army ants courtesy of Doctor Morocco. {{storylink|Bugs in the System}} During a trip on the space elevator Asgard, Heatwave switched bodies with Kade, allowing him to experience the delights of toothaches and human dentistry. He was very relieved when they got switched back. {{storylink|Switcheroo}} When Kade accidentally ingested [[scrubmite]]s, Heatwave and the rest of the team were shrunk to microscopic size and flew the ''Sigma'' into his body to deal with the critters. Heatwave had fun roping the mites, but when they were forced to strap them to the hull of the ship, he had to prevent them escaping before the ship could leave Kade's body. {{storylink|Bot-Tastic Voyage}}<br />
<br />
Following Professor Baranova's abduction at the hands of Colonel Quarry, Heatwave scanned a ''Brachiosaurus'' alternate mode so that he and the others, including Optimus, could masquerade as the Dino-bots Quarry wanted Doc Greene to build. They were taken to an island by Quarry and put through their paces, before he took them to a boat so he could ship them off to be sold. Luckily Blades, who'd been having trouble with his alternate mode, was able to rescue them and Quarry was arrested. {{Storylink|Quarry's Quarry}} The team visited Wayward Island to search for an energon trace. They found only a caveman frozen in ice, who turned out to be still alive once he was thawed back in Griffin Rock. While the others helped "[[Ira]]" acclimate, Heatwave and Blades returned to Wayward Island and found cave paintings depicting Autobots in the caveman's era. {{storylink|Did You See What I Thaw?}}<br />
<br />
[[File:AttackOfHumungado Dino Heatwave.jpg|thumb|left|250px|No, Heatwave, that's what a ''llama'' does! You're a ''Brontosaurus''!]]<br />
When Doc Greene's new projector was used to screen ''[[Humungado|Attack of Humungado]]'', Heatwave ended up using his dinosaur mode to help combat Humungado and his rival Rayvenous when it turned out the projector made them more realistic then Doc had planned...by bringing the two kaiju into the real world. {{storylink|The Attack of Humungado}} The mayor decided to honor the rescue team by holding [[Bot Appreciation Week]]; however, a clash in schedules resulted in the Burns family being off the island for the start. The Rescue Bots found they had to contend with the souvenir versions of themselves running amok thanks to Evan and Myles reprogramming them. {{storylink|All Bots Great and Small}}<br />
<br />
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 the mayor accidentally set fire to Founders' Day, Heatwave and Kade put it out, but the indignant mayor suspended the team on account of the fact that the Burns family was descended from a pirate. 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}}<br />
<br />
After being rescued from a whirlpool by [[High Tide]], Heatwave found himself and his team placed under the new Autobot's command for some water training. Chafing under High Tide's command, Heatwave eventually snapped and quit the training, but later led the operation to secure an oil spill. After the successful securing of the spill, High Tide accepted he'd been too harsh on the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Turning the Tide}} During a visit by the time traveler [[Jules Verne]], Heatwave helped apprehend Dr. Morocco. He was surprised to learn that Verne had met him on another occasion which hadn't yet happened for Heatwave. {{storylink|The Last of Morocco}}<br />
<br />
[[File:RescueBotsAcademy Heatwave shouts at Blurr.jpg|thumb|right|280px|"One o' these days, Blurr, one o' these days: ''POW!!'' Straight to Cybertron!"]]<br />
After the Rescue Bots found [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]] and [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] on Wayward Island, Optimus assigned the pair to be trained by Heatwave's team. Heatwave was unimpressed with the brash Blurr beating him in a race by cheating, and bungling a rescue, and even less so when it turned out Blurr had been lying about his past, but Optimus convinced him to give Blurr another chance. {{storylink|The New Recruits}} Heatwave grew ever more frustrated with Blurr's lack of progress, especially when Blurr botched a rescue and then took a joyride through town and almost exposed the Rescue Bots' secret, leading Heatwave to tell Chief he was going to contact Optimus to get rid of Blurr. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy (episode)|Rescue Bots Academy}} He was even less impressed when Blurr stole the ''Sigma'', leaving the rescue team with a big problem when a solar flare knocked out the town's power. After Blurr saved the town from a falling satellite, Heatwave was more disposed to giving him another chance, though Optimus reassigned Blurr and Salvage elsewhere anyway. {{storylink|A New Hero}}<br />
<br />
When Servo appeared to be causing damage around town, Heatwave conceded that they might need to send the dog back to High Tide, however it turned out Servo had actually been helping people, and Heatwave changed his mind. {{storylink|Four-Legged Hero}} Heatwave opted out of guard duties when Boulder found a family of endangered woodpeckers. He was proven right when the Rescue Bots activities resulted in the town finding out about the birds and damaging their habitat. {{storylink|Endangered Species}}<br />
<br />
After Chase was put in charge of dispatch due to an injury, Heatwave was unimpressed with him raising several false alarms. Once Chase solved a mystery and saved [[Maura the Magnificent]] from going over [[Griffin Falls]], Heatwave declared him fit for duty again. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RB)|More than Meets the Eye}} When Doc Greene's [[Tone-O-Tuner]] caused everyone in town to sing instead of talk, Heatwave refused to say anything until there was an emergency at the town hall. To his relief, they found and shut down the Tone-O-Tuner. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}}<br />
<br />
Heatwave continued to grow discontent that the people they saved thought they were mere robots. He and the other Rescue Bots took part in the opening of a time capsule, during which a quantum crystal mishap resulted in the entire island being teleported to the [[Arctic]]. The four Bots had to deice the generators so that the island's dome could be raised. {{storylink|Now and Then}} Heatwave had to rescue Blades and Dani after they made an attempt to go for help. As the team enacted a plan to fill the dome with floatium and fly the island back, the Rescue Bots had their work cut out keeping people safe. The journey continued, but the Rescue Bots were forced to use their own energon to power the dome. They successfully reached Griffin Rock's old location, and after some medical attention, the Rescue Bots recovered. Optimus then gave them a new mission: to let the rest of the town in on their secret. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}<br />
<br />
[[File:NewNormal keeping Kade for later.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Heatwave finds the Velgrox's fetish disturbing.]]<br />
Three years on, Heatwave had still not let the team reveal themselves out of worry that the townsfolk would react badly. He finally succeeded in contacting Optimus and received orders to build a new mainland base, though the fact that they would need to work with the humans still didn't change his mind. Finally an invasion by the [[Velgrox]] forced his hand. {{storylink|New Normal}} He quickly became discontent with the new attention he and the others were receiving, opting to test the new [[GroundBridge]] rather than prepare for a town meeting. After accidentally ending up in the [[Sahara]], he and the rest of the team fronted up to the townfolk, who voted to keep their secret. {{storylink|Bridge Building}}<br />
<br />
An attempt at racing with Blades resulted in Heatwave accidentally demolishing [[Cullen|Mr. Cullen]]'s rocket. As a result Heatwave decided the team would focus on their duties rather than pursuing their own pastimes. Another GroundBridge accident sent him and Chase to the mainland, and resulted in them bringing a car back to the island who later turned out to be the Rescue Bot [[Quickshadow]]. {{storylink|Arrivals}} Irritated by Quickshadow lecturing them and defeating him in a sparring match, Heatwave placed her in charge of an operation to move [[Phodolite]] through town. The mission hit a snag when the Heatwave lost part of the load, resulting in the team having to use Chase's plan B when Quickshadow didn't have one. {{storylink|Plus One (RB)|Plus One}}<br />
<br />
[[File:VanishingReturns digital Heatwave.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Heatwave Icarus?]]<br />
Following a mishap in which the town pool froze over, the team visited the [[Griffin Rock Fun Zone|Fun Zone]] where Heatwave joined Chief, Cody and Frankie in a round of ''Element Quest'', only to discover it had been invaded by the [[Morocco virus]]. {{storylink|Back to Virtual Reality}} When investors were looking at redeveloping the island, the Rescue Bots used Velgrox technology to make themselves invisible and pretend to be ghosts to scare them off. {{storylink|Vanishing Returns}}<br />
<br />
The team took part in [[Halloween|Earliween]] celebrations, and also came up with a plan to foil Evan and Myles when the pair tried to carnap Quickshadow. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (RB)|Ghost in the Machine}} When Whiskers was abducted from the zoo, the Rescue Bots used their dino modes as bait to lure big game hunter [[Thurston Chumley|Lord Chumley]]. Though they themselves were captured, they made the most of their situation, both finding Whiskers and bringing the rest of the team to help arrest Chumley. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RB)|Enemy of My Enemy}} When the opportunity came up, Heatwave was in favor of Chase running for mayor to prove that the Bots were equal in the community to humans. He soon changed his mind after Chase actually took office and the changes he made interfered with the Rescue Team doing their job. {{storylink|Mayor May Not}}<br />

When Boulder wanted to celebrate [[All Spark Day (event)|All Spark Day]], Heatwave believe they should stick to the holidays celebrated in their new home. After dealing with a water rescue and a giant-sized [[CeCe Greene]], the Bots found the whole town had decided to celebrate All Spark Day, and Heatwave acted as a substitute for the energon fountain. {{storylink|All Spark Day (episode)|All Spark Day}} When the town's communications tower required replacing, the team took on second jobs — Heatwave helped Kade entertain children's parties. The townsfolk later chipped in with enough cash to replace the tower. {{storylink|Part-Time Heroes}}<br />
<br />
When the day finally came to open the mainland [[Rescue Bot Training Center]], Heatwave found himself having to dial the others back with the partying. After the building was transformed, he attempted to return to Griffin Rock with Cody, only to discover that the GroundBridge was malfunctioning. {{storylink|The More Things Change...}} He, Kade and Cody were assigned the task of repairing the center's holographic cloak, and with Blades's help, managed to do so before the base could be discovered. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}<br />
<br />
[[File:OnceUponATime Heatwave busts out.jpg|thumb|right|280px|Heatwave hates it in [[Jurassic Park]].]]<br />
During a series of motor races, the Bots had to first deal with a collapsing stand full of spectators, and then with runaway racers thanks to an errant invention. {{storylink|Hot Rod Bot}} Heatwave accompanied Blades, Chief and Dani to [[Africa]] when Woodrow Burns appeared to need help, and ended up helping a family of gorillas survive baboons and an erupting volcano. {{storylink|King Burns}} During the town's Pizza Pi Party, the team had to deal with a rapidly-expanding monster mound of pizza dough. {{storylink|Pizza Pi Party}}<br />
<br />
While running practice drills in the Training Center, the team had to save a Cybertronian ship that crash-landed. When it turned out Bumblebee was on board, the Rescue Bots took him on a tour of the center, however Heatwave and Chase were attacked and knocked out by an energon eater than had come down with the craft. Once it was captured, the others revived them. {{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. {{storylink|Camp Cody}}<br />
<br />
Heatwave and Kade accompanied Cody and 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}} After an attempt to drill Blurr on rescuing was less than successful, Heatwave and the rest of the team found themselves having to deal with the escaped [[Mini-Con]] [[Bounce]] and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], a member of Bumblebee's team. {{storylink|The Need for Speed}}<br />
<br />
[[File:TheNeedForSpeed Heatwave water knuckles.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Who needs knuckle ''dusters'' when you can have knuckle ''blasters''?]]<br />
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 (under the code name '''Thunder''') 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}} The Bots found themselves having to maintain their robot disguises when [[Maven Danger]] stayed at the firehouse as research for his new movie, though it later turned out the visit was just so Maven's agent [[Skip Scobble]] could attempt to steal a rare book. {{storylink|A Brush with Danger}}<br />
<br />
When Dani's test space mission ran into trouble, the team headed into space in the ''Sigma'' to mount a rescue, with Heatwave providing the first stage to a jetpack-assisted Rescue Bot rocket. {{storylink|To Infinity... And Back}} Kade and Heatwave tried to get Cody interested in firefighting when the boy was deciding what sort of rescue worker he'd become. {{storylink|Family Business}}<br />
<br />
The team was surprised to discover a whole town in [[China]] knew about them, when they were called there to deal with some out-of-control [[Scrubmite|Scrubbers]]. Afterwards Optimus promptly reassigned them, with Heatwave leading a team on Griffin Rock consisting of Salvage and Servo. When it turned out the Morocco virus was back and had built a new MorBot, Heatwave managed to blow it up by boobytrapping the GroundBridge. {{storylink|Upgrades}} Unfortunately when he, Kade and Cody returned to the Training Center, they found it under Morocco's control and had to hastily retreat. When Morocco set his sights on abducting Cody, Heatwave's team attempted in vain to protect the boy, but Heatwave was later able to pick up him and Frankie after they dropped Morocco into an undersea trench. Optimus later assigned Heatwave and Kade to train new recruits. {{storylink|Transformations}}<br />

Following the restoration of Cybertron from the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Heatwave was one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. {{Storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}<br />
<br />
Trying to come up with a rallying cry, [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] once ordered his team to "roll to the rescue", but then evidently remembered that someone else was already using that cry. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}}<br />

After spending some time with Bumblebee's team, Blurr said he needed to return to his own rescue team "before Heatwave blows a gasket." {{storylink|Bee Cool}}<br />

[[File:ToughLuckChuck Heatwave.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yep, still a dick. [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Only this time he also has a large chin.]]]]<br />
Now in charge of the training center, Heatwave introduced a batch of new recruits to Earth and ran them through a series of exercises to assess them, including a simulated rescue. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} He later assigned the recruits to do a training rescue in the caves near [[Milford]], with Cody volunteering as rescue victim. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}}<br />
<br />
At some point Heatwave called in Blades to help [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] get the hang of his new jet mode. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}} After Hot Shot damaged [[Tough Luck Chuck]] during a training exercise, Heatwave put the recruit in charge of looking after the drone while he retrieved some new parts from Milford. It later turned out that Hot Shot had allowed Chuck to wander through the GroundBridge portal to Milford, and Heatwave had to lead the recruits in a search and rescue mission before Chuck was found by humans. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Believing that [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] could get the response time of the other recruits down, Heatwave lent the student his control for the rescue alarm, which didn't go as well as it could have. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}}<br />
<br />
[[File:MissionInaudible Heatwave vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]<br />
Heatwave took the recruits to the building site where the Rescue Bots' giant faces were being hewn into a mountainside near Griffin Rock. He later regretted it when Hot Shot endangered the entire enterprise by trying to add his own head. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} After seeing how [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] got Wedge and Hot Shot to stop fighting, Heatwave put him in charge of the recruits' next practice rescue. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} Heatwave had Cody accompany the recruits on another rescue involving an overturned truck in Griffin Rock. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}} His demonstration of the ''Sigma'' to the recruits resulted in them believing that one of them was going to be expelled as there were only four command chairs, leading to them badly failing a volcano rescue drill until he explained that the ships were built to accomodate as many crew as necessary. {{storylink|Five into Four}}<br />
<br />
[[File:RescuePromo Heatwave puppet.jpg|thumb|right|350px|There are at ''least'' 4 recreations of Puppetwave in the community by this point.]]<br />
Partway through filming a recruitment video, Heatwave had to go help [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]] on a mission and so left the task of filming the rest to [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]]. He invited Optimus back to the base to view the results. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} The recruits blaming each other for the failure of a rescue resulted in Heatwave assigning them chores as punishment. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Heatwave and the recruits set up a surprise for Cody to present him with his EMT training certificate. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}<br />
<br />
After five [[TX3000]]s were loaned to the training center, Heatwave put the recruits through a series of exercises to test their ability with the device. {{storylink|The TX3000}} After Teen Pioneer [[Wes]] won a competition, Heatwave had the recruits spend some time with him, though Wedge required more persuading than the others. {{storylink|Driving a Wedge}} After rock sample from an asteroid went missing, Heatwave assumed one of the recruits had taken it. It later turned out that the rock was actually a small alien which had simply walked off his desk. {{storylink|About a Rock}}<br />
<br />
The recruits attempted to keep a dog secret from Heatwave, but he inevitably found out and had them contact the dog's owner. It turned out the dog's name was also [[Heatwave (dog)|Heatwave]] and had been trying to get the recruits to rescue his other owner [[Frank Murphy]]. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Heatwave was overseeing the recruits in a simulation when Hot Shot fouled up again. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}} He, Boulder and Blades worked to prevent a flood in Griffin Rock while the recruits rescued townsfolk. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}} The recruits were too absorbed in the smartphones Boulder had assigned them to pay attention to Heatwave's lesson, resulting in them botching the rescue simulation he later had them do. {{storylink|Screen Time}} Heatwave took the recruits on a field trip to a museum in Milford, during which Whirl's contention that something was amiss paid off, and the team were able to catch a thief in the act. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}<br />
<br />
[[File:WhosTeachingWho student Heatwave.jpg|thumb|left|280px]]<br />
During a mission to the ''Asgard'', Heatwave and his team got trapped outside, necessitating the sending of the ''Sigma'' back to Earth so the recruits could come make an assist. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} Heatwave left the recruits with a list of chores when he and Cody joined the other Rescue Bots on an off-world mission. On his return, he was impressed with the results until he found the [[Scrub-A-Dubber]] in his office. {{storylink|All Washed Up}} When Heatwave's lesson bored the recruits, he suggested if they thought they could do better, they could be the teachers for the day. Though the results were variable, Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were able to employ what they'd learned during a later rescue. {{storylink|Who's Teaching Who?}}<br />
<br />
While he had more business off-world, Heatwave assigned the recruits the task of retrieving a balloon from a tree in Milford. The tale he was told when he returned was rather more complicated than expected. {{storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}} Heatwave provided the recruits with a simulated dragon to deal with after discovering that Hoist was too distracted reading about the beasts. {{storylink|The Mystery of Dragon Mountain}} Heatwave introduced the recruits to their new teacher, [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]]. He later learned that Hoist had been trying to avoid Grimlock as he was afraid of Dinobots. {{Storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}} Heatwave gave Hoist permission to skip a trip to [[Wayward Island|Dino Island]]. He and the other teachers were away from the academy when a dinosaur got loose in it, leaving Hoist to have to deal with it. {{storylink|Dino Hard}}<br />
<br />
Heatwave assigned the recruits the task of retrieving a crashed top-secret satellite. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}} On [[Halloween]], Heatwave congratulated the recruits after they pulled off a rescue while trick or treating. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}} Heatwave was again absent from the base on another occasion, leaving Grimlock to do his digital paperwork. {{storylink|Monster Savings}} Heatwave assigned Hoist the task of looking after the experimental [[Virtual Sonic Fence]] and was later upset when the recruits became distracted by the tune used to unlock the device and failed an exercise. Once they got themselves together, he sent them on a mission to the planet [[Herbu]]. {{storylink|Tune Out}} Heatwave and Cody were dealing with a crashed ice cream truck when they had to go to the aid of Boulder and the recruits, who'd stumbled on a nest of [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}}<br />
<br />
[[File:BestBotsForever1 Heatwave tows Grimlock.jpg|thumb|right|370px]]<br />
Increasingly irritated by the testing of Hoist's new comms system, Heatwave ordered the recruits to investigate why some animals were acting as which as it turned out, was because of the new comms system. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} Heatwave had the recruits try a simulation involving an ice wave to teach them that sometimes they had to pick their victories based on what was achievable. {{storylink|The Ice Wave}} Heatwave took part in a teachers vs students relay race, carrying Grimlock as a pretend rescue victim, and lost to Hot Shot when the recruit exploited the Dinobot's fear of cats. He was dismayed later when Hot Shot opted to drop out of the Academy the day before graduation to return to Cybertron. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} A space bridge malfunction caused by the students tampering with it resulted in Heatwave, Optimus, Cody and Chase becoming trapped in an expanding energon bubble. They were eventually freed by the recruits, and Heatwave's anger was cut short by the arrival of the Griffin Rock townsfolk. Graduation went ahead as planned. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}<br />

:Heatwave transforms into a red and grey fire engine of likely fictitious origin. In keeping with the simple [[transformation scheme]] of the line, Heatwave transforms from vehicle mode to robot mode by simply pulling up the ladder and folding down the feet. <br />
<br />
:Due to the placement of his ladder on his back, it is actually possible for the human figures to hitch a ride on Heatwave's back in robot mode; the rungs on the ladder are just thin enough to allow for one of their hands to slip around and the thumb on that hand to fit in the hollow area on the back of said rung.<br />

<br />
:Part of the first wave of the Rescan series, Heatwave is an all-new figure, featuring a spring-loaded transformation from show-accurate fireboat to robot, activated by his lightbar. As a boat, he does not have any wheels, nor does he have anything else to lift him off the surface of a table. He is therefore prone to paint wear on his wrist-mounted water cannons and the top of his faux chest window during play.<br />

*'''Hook & Ladder Heatwave''' (2016)<br />
**''Accessories'': Trailer/gauntlet, water-blast projectile<br />
<br />
: Part of a larger "deluxe" range of toys under the broader ''Playskool Heroes'' banner, Hook & Ladder Heatwave is a smaller, more show-like re-make of his original toy (in line with the "Rescan" assortment of his teammates), transforming from fire truck to robot and back with a single step triggered by swinging his truck-mode back end/leg down. He comes with a large trailer unit with a moving ladder rig equipped with a spring-loaded "water burst" launcher. The rig can transform into a gauntlet that kids (or adults with small arms) can wear.<br />
<br />
: The package back calls out that Heatwave's back-ladder is removable and can be attached to the trailer, but it takes ''way'' too much force to do and doesn't feel like it's actually supposed to. Also, the ladder has been molded in a way that makes the tops of the steps incorrectly aligned when attached, causing them to face sideways.<br />
<br />

Hi, I'm a new user here, but longtime Transformers fan. I don't have much experience with wiki editing, so this is going to be a learning curve, but I'll try to do my best work and hold myself to this wiki's standards.<br />
<br />
I'm a fan of anything and everything Starscream, a firm believer that RID (2015) and Generation 2 are underrated, and someone that desperately hopes Leozack will be relevant again someday.<br />

Hi, I'm a new user here, but longtime Transformers fan. I don't have much experience with wiki editing, so this is going to be a learning curve, but I'll try to do my best work and hold myself to this wiki's standards.<br />
<br />
I'm a fan of anything and everything Starscream, a firm believer that RID (2015) and Generation 2 are underrated, and someone that desperately hopes Leozack will be relevant again someday.<br />

The G1 Season 3 cast was less crowded than the cast of the first two Seasons.<br />
<br />
The Rebirth>Headmasters<br />
<br />
Beast Machines was a good series on it's own, but a bad continuation of Beast Wars.<br />
<br />
Scorponok/Zarak was a great endgame villain for the G1 Cartoon, and he needs more prominence in the franchise.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lyzack-manga.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|Aww]]<br />
Most Japanese-produced Transformers anime and manga are inferior to the American-produced cartoons and comics.<br />
<br />
The Decepticons in Prime are far more interesting than the Autobots.<br />
<br />
The Lukas Cluster is a better Star Wars continuity than the current Disney Canon.<br />
<br />
Dark Of The Moon was good, even if it butchered many of the classic characters.<br />
<br />
Lyzack is very cute, and so is her relationship with her brother.<br />
<br />
I don't like Victorion or The Torchbearers.<br />
<br />
Soundwave didn't get enough focus in Transformers Animated.<br />
<br />
Humans have a purpose in Transformers stories, but we need less annoying kids, and more soldiers and government agents.<br />
<br />
The Japanese G1 Continuity is '''really''' bad, and impossible to try and make sense of at times.<br />
<br />
I have no problem with female characters in Transformers, but I dislike the obligation writers seem to have with making every new or previously genderless character female.<br />
<br />
Windblade needs a more consistent personality.<br />
<br />
Nightbird is pathetically underused considering how popular she is.<br />
<br />
Ginrai is a little bit of a Mary Sue.<br />
<br />
Galvatron should remain a new (and permanent) form of Megatron, rather than be split off into a separate character.<br />
<br />
Scourge needs more attention, and is underused compared to Galvatron and Cyclonus.<br />
<br />
Hasbro needs to stop trying to erase noses from Cybertronians. They look fine with them.<br />

Steve Blum is the definitive voice for Starscream.<br />

Animated Megatron should '''not''' be able to turn into a helicopter with that design.<br />

Hi, I'm a new user here, but longtime Transformers fan. I don't have much experience with wiki editing, so this is going to be a learning curve, but I'll try to do my best work and hold myself to this wiki's standards.<br />
<br />
I'm a fan of anything and everything Starscream, a firm believer that RID (2015) and Generation 2 are underrated, and someone that desperately hopes Leozack will be relevant again someday.<br />

Beast Machines was a good series on it's own, but a bad continuation of Beast Wars.<br />

Most Japanese-produced Transformers anime and manga are inferior to the American-produced cartoons and comics.<br />
<br />
The Decepticons in Prime are far more interesting than the Autobots.<br />
<br />
The Lukas Cluster is a better Star Wars continuity than the current Disney Canon.<br />
<br />
Dark Of The Moon was good, even if it butchered many of the classic characters.<br />
<br />
Lyzack is very cute, and so is her relationship with her brother.<br />
<br />
I don't like Victorion or The Torchbearers.<br />
<br />
Soundwave didn't get enough focus in Transformers Animated.<br />
<br />
Humans have a purpose in Transformers stories, but we need less annoying kids, and more soldiers and government agents.<br />
<br />
The Japanese G1 Continuity is '''really''' bad, and impossible to try and make sense of at times.<br />
<br />
I have no problem with female characters in Transformers, but I dislike the obligation writers seem to have with making every new or previously genderless character female.<br />
<br />
Windblade needs a more consistent personality.<br />

Nightbird is pathetically underused considering how popular she is.<br />

Hi, I'm a new user here, but longtime Transformers fan. I don't have much experience with wiki editing, so this is going to be a learning curve, but I'll try to do my best work and hold myself to this wiki's standards.<br />
<br />
I'm a fan of anything and everything Starscream, a firm believer that RID (2015) and Generation 2 are underrated, and someone that desperately hopes Leozack will be relevant again someday.<br />

The G1 Season 3 cast was less crowded than the cast of the first two Seasons.<br />
<br />
The Rebirth>Headmasters<br />
<br />
Beast Machines was a good series on it's own, but a bad continuation of Beast Wars.<br />
<br />
Scorponok/Zarak was a great endgame villain for the G1 Cartoon, and he needs more prominence in the franchise.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lyzack-manga.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|Aww]]<br />
Most Japanese-produced Transformers anime and manga are inferior to the American-produced cartoons and comics.<br />
<br />
The Decepticons in Prime are far more interesting than the Autobots.<br />
<br />
The Lukas Cluster is a better Star Wars continuity than the current Disney Canon.<br />
<br />
Dark Of The Moon was good, even if it butchered many of the classic characters.<br />
<br />
Lyzack is very cute, and so is her relationship with her brother.<br />
<br />
I don't like Victorion or The Torchbearers.<br />

Hi, I'm a new user here, but longtime Transformers fan. I don't have much experience with wiki editing, so this is going to be a learning curve, but I'll try to do my best work and hold myself to this wiki's standards.<br />
<br />
I'm a fan of anything and everything Starscream, a firm believer that RID (2015) and Generation 2 are underrated, and someone that desperately hopes Leozack will be relevant again someday.<br />

Most Japanese-produced Transformers anime and manga are inferior to the American-produced cartoons and comics.<br />
<br />
The Decepticons in Prime are far more interesting than the Autobots.<br />
<br />
The Lukas Cluster is a better Star Wars continuity than the current Disney Canon.<br />

Dark Of The Moon was good, even if it butchered many of the classic characters.<br />

Lyzack is very cute, and so is her relationship with her brother.<br />

==[[Personal canon]]==<br />
*Cyclonus is a fusion of Bombshell and Skywarp in the G1 cartoon, posssesing Bombshell's intellect with Skywarp's loyalty, and the memories of both.<br />
<br />
*The original Insecticons never died, and the ones that became Sweeps were clones, retaining their cloning abilities.<br />
<br />

<br />
*Vehicons are sentient Cybertronians in Prime.<br />
<br />
*[[The One]] is God. The Vok in turn, may or may not be Angels.<br />
<br />
*Shattered Glass characters are not inverse because of universal polarity, rather, they are inverse because of the choices they make, and the universes subsequently become classified as Negative Polarity.<br />
<br />
*Soundwave is a descendant of Logos Prime.<br />
<br />
*Most Sideways' are the same character.<br />
<br />
*G1 Unicron was not created by Primacron, he simply manipulated him to construct a new body for him, as his real one was deep within Earth.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
*Abraham Dante is a version of Zarak.<br />
<br />
*Sam Witwicky is still alive.<br />

<br />
*Cyberverse Nova Storm is a Starscream fangirl.<br />
<br />
*The Vok have no concrete origin, instead, they are an amalgamation of any and every version of themselves.<br />
<br />
*The multiverse is infinite, and all fanfiction and personal canon is true to some universe.<br />
<br />
*StarscreamxWindblade (Don't @ me)<br />
<br />
==Stuff That I Want To Exist==<br />
*A new Regeneration One-ish comic that fully concludes the story of the G1 Cartoon after The Rebirth.<br />
<br />
*A bigger conclusion to the Aligned Continuity than Rescue Bots Academy.<br />
<br />
*A comic based on the cancelled Transtech series.<br />
<br />
*A final War For Cybertron game set during the early years on Earth.<br />
<br />
