- Ezra Greene is a human from the Rescue Bots portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Doctor Ezra Greene is Griffin Rock's very own eccentric scientist. His daughter is Frankie Greene and he owns two dogs, Edison and Aristotle. His inventions, although brilliant, endanger himself, those around him, and often the entire island on a regular basis. He drives a DeLorean complete with some familiar looking kibble.

Along with Chief Burns and Mayor Luskey, Doc Greene had Doctor Morocco expelled from Griffin Rock. Greene subsequently became lead scientist on the island. The Reign of Morocco
Doc Greene attended the dedication ceremony for the town's new robotic rescue team with Francine. Family of Heroes He was hanging upside-down in an attempt to increase his mental acuity when he received a call from his daughter's friend Cody Burns, who asked about any volcanoes on the island. Doc Greene filled him in on Mount Magma and suggested that they try to deal with the lava problem by gradually releasing the pressure. Under Pressure
The Doc's experimental solar car went out of control, carrying him through the streets of Griffin Rock. Luckily the Rescue Bots prevented any major damage, and stopped the car. Doc Greene regarded the test as a success, apart from the control issues. While he was working on a newspaper dispenser to replace the one he ran over, Dani Burns visited and he was able to supply her with an old scoop claw he had in storage. Hotshots
While filling parade balloons with helium, Doc Greene was accidentally whisked into the air when the lobster balloon he was filling got loose. He was rescued by the Burns family and their robots, and overnight developed floatium, a more reliable version of helium, which he used in all of the balloons. Unfortunately the floatium ended up turning a tank full of lobsters into flobsters, and Greene had to quickly develop a new compound to get rid of the floatium. Flobsters on Parade
Doc Greene built a SETI dish for Huxley Prescott so the reporter could search for aliens. Unfortunately Prescott failed to follow safety instructions, and when Greene tried to turn it off, it was out of control and in danger of destroying the island. Fortunately the Burns family and their robots destroyed the dish. The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock He took Cody and Frankie to Griffin Rock Zoo to celebrate Earth Day. Walk on the Wild Side Greene had some nanites stored in his laboratory for some reason. Cody on Patrol
Inspired by an accident on the island, Doc Greene created the Turbo Cycle and got Kade to be a test subject. When Cody wanted to try it instead, Frankie talked him into instead baby-sitting the Robo-Baby the doc had developed to record baby-related data. Greene was so impressed with the results, he let Cody test the cycle, and gave the Robo-Baby to Kade for a week. Four Bots and a Baby When Cody wanted to engineer a snow storm, Doc Greene happily supplied him with a weather machine which they set up in the town square. A snowball accident damaged the machine, and the doc had to take it back to his lab to repair it. Christmas in July When the island's automatic lighthouse failed to come on, Greene copped the flack from Mayor Luskey and soon discovered that the lighthouse's electro-magnetic sensors had been damaged. The sensor beneath his floating research lab was also attacked, and he downloaded the video from it to discover a mechanical shark was behind the attacks. Deep Trouble
After several break-ins at the lab, Doc Greene reprogrammed the dinosaur from the museum as a butler/guard dog. Unfortunately someone implanted a virus in Trex, which then infected the island's mainframe, and Greene had to disinfect the computer while dodging an out-of-control Trex. He succeeded in doing both that and purging the virus from Trex. Unfortunately Mayor Luskey, furious about the whole affair, relieved Greene of his post as lead scientist. Return of the Dino Bot Greene and Frankie went to stay at Mrs. Neederlander's bed and breakfast, and Greene occupied himself building bird houses. He and his daughter were in his solar car when it went rogue, though they got out before it attempted to flatten the mayor and was crushed by the MorBot. The Other Doctor He found the reason for the failure in the remains of the car—a canister of nanites—but it wasn't enough to convince the mayor, and he began packing to move to the mainland. As it turned out, he didn't need to go, as Cody and Frankie found evidence incriminating the recently-returned Morocco, who had been behind the recent technology failures, and Greene was reinstated as lead scientist. The Reign of Morocco
He and Frankie gave a demonstration of the Minimizer at the Hall of Inspiration during which he recklessly endangered Mrs. Neederlander. When the device was later damaged during a break-in, he fixed it more or less so that Cody could return the Rescue Bots to their normal size. Small Blessings Cody consulted Doc Greene when he found a plate with strange markings and they dug up a recording of Professor Anna Baranova. After the Professor herself was brought up from the sea floor where she'd been for the last 28 years, Greene set about building her a replica of the Midgard which Frankie took as a sign he liked her. The Griffin Rock Triangle
Doc Greene gave Chief Burns a new experimental handheld holographic generator to try out. Amazingly, it did not explode. Rules and Regulations As well as inventing anti-gravity sneakers, Doc Greene replicated samples of Squilsh brought back from Mars, and conducted tests on it. The tests went swimmingly until a sample shocked with electricity seems to come to life and started eating things. Greene was forced to rapidly trying and come up with a way to neutralize the threat, though it was ultimately Graham Burns and Boulder who worked out that alternating current was the key. Greene later gave Cody a Squilsh-powered lava lamp to give Graham. You've Been Squilshed
While conducting inventory in the archives, Doc Greene encountered some tracers, which transported him to a dark place that turned out to be a cavern beneath Griffin Rock. As more people were teleported in, Greene took part in an effort to dig their way out, but ultimately they were all freed by the Rescue Bots. Countdown During a ghost invasion, the Doc and Frankie got the chance to try out his Spectral Vapor Filter, though it turned out that the "ghosts" were just holograms. The Haunting of Griffin Rock Doc Greene tried to help out Frankie by busting some moves for her student film. When she remarked he was a bit rusty, he retired to the Hall of Inspiration to practice, unaware that the jukebox he was using was triggering a subwoofer stored underground which was creating tremors. Shake Up When Cody required some sort of protection, Greene was inspired by the repulsor technology in Cody's hoverboard to create a repulsor badge. Though he warned Cody not to use it too much at full power, the boy did anyway, and Doc Greene had to supply neutralizer gloves to the Rescue Bots so they could stop the badge. Rescue Boy
After Cody inadvertently discovered a time machine in a hidden room, Doc Greene found that all it required was a sufficiently powerful energy source. He used nuclear power, however during the initial test, as well as Dither going through, the portal drew the Rescue Bots, Cody and Frankie through as well. It's a Bot Time Chief Burns filled Doc Greene in on the fact that the Rescue Bots were actually aliens, so they could bring in Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Greene was soon reunited with his daughter. Bot to the Future
With the help of Cybertronian technology and Boulder's technical help, Doc Greene was able to develop new and more dangerous innovative technology, including an Inspiration Counter to keep track of his inventions. The Vacuum Accelerator that they constructed turned out to be too erratic, transporting objects to seemingly random locations. Road Trip Greene was dismayed to learn that Mayor Luskey had taken experimental growth formula from the Best Left Forgotten room to make the trees in Frankie's Sky Forest grow faster. The formula resulted in the vegetation growing out of control, and Luskey suggested that Doc Greene keep the Best Left Forgotten room locked in future. Sky Forest
When a piece of his stasis machine was stolen and the remaining piece accidentally aged Cody into an adult, Doc Greene set about trying to configure the remaining part to reverse the aging without much success. Luckily the missing piece was later recovered. One for the Ages Graham consulted Doc Greene for a list of the cargo manifest when the S.S. Isolde was discovered. Tip of the Iceberg Sometime before, Doc Greene built a virtual reality game. He promised Cody and Frankie that they could test it out, but a snow storm trapped him on the mainland. Chief Burns attempted to call him when Cody and Blades were trapped in the game, but the snow storm blocked out all reception. A Virtual Disaster Doc Greene was among those hypnotized by cellphones. He tried to lure Cody into a trap, but the boy managed to elude the townsfolk. Later, after everyone was freed from their mesmerized state, he turned up to help fix Blossom Vale. Spellbound
Following Huxley Prescott's attempt at rigging a reality show, Doc Greene was stuck having to deal with a dam full of Squilsh. Prescott's Bots He had the opportunity to test the Collision Foam Cannon he'd developed with Boulder when a plane was heading for the laboratory, and luckily the invention worked. He later fired up the Nightmare Imaging Device to help Kade with some nightmares, only to end up creating a horde of gremlins which threatened Griffin Rock. Blame the Gremlins
Doc Greene developed a Magnetic Insta-Grill, which worked perfectly until Mayor Luskey overloaded it with "Magic Meat", at which point it shot down a blimp. Greene later identified the meat as Fo-Foo. Feed the Beast He volunteered to be on of the crew of the Asgard space elevator, though he almost forgot the launch and had to be reminded by Frankie. He also forgot the air sick bags, which resulted in him missing lunch. When the Asgard was damaged by an asteroid strike, he and Graham sheltered in the Asgard greenhouse until they could be rescued by the Rescue Bots. Space Bots
When the rescue team brought him an mechanical bull, Doc Greene opted to use the Beam Box to send it to the Island of Misfit Tech, but inadvertently sent Cody as well. After Heatwave and Kade were sent through, Doc Greene was finally able to retrieve them all. The Island of Misfit Tech Doc Greene oversaw installing Vigil in one of the lab's underground sections, and had to beef up the defenses as part of the requirements. Unfortunately Vigil then took over the town, trapping Doc Greene and Frankie in the lift until its defeat at the hands of the rescue team. The Vigilant Town
The Burns family borrowed Doc Greene's floating lab to get to Wayward Island. In Search of the Griffin's Nest When the island was threatened by a tornado, Doc Greene saw it as the perfect opportunity to test his experimental Tornadon't. The device successfully stopped the tornado in its tracks, though Doc Greene later discovered the tornado was the product of a weather machine operated by Doctor Morocco. Changes On Midwinter Morning, Doc Greene and Frankie were happy to find the Rider of Midwinter had left them a loaf of bread. The Riders of Midwinter Doc Greene invented Boil Coils to heat water, though they proved effective in attracting the Power Planter too. Movers and Shakers
Doc Greene had Cody and Frankie test out the Ski-neakers he'd invented, and as a result he and Heatwave had to rescue them from a rogue wave. When a series of water-related issues cropped up, he and Frankie worked on triangulating the location of the cause, a Cybertronian relic. Odd Bot Out He developed the Phase Bit for a drilling company, the CEO of which he hadn't met. He designed the hover train that would be the Griffin Rock Express, however there wasn't time to calibrate the booster before the train's maiden journey. As a result, the train was sent out of control when the Mayor ordered it to speed up against Greene's advice, and though he worked to disable the malfunctioning booster, he and the others aboard had to be rescued by the Rescue Bots and Frankie, the latter of whom had borrowed the Phase Bit for superheroing purposes. The Griffin Rock Express
Doc Greene took part in a game of Rescue Ball. When Mayor Luskey later turned up suffering from apparent amnesia, Greene took him to Doctor McSwain. Double Villainy When the tunnels under the island started collapsing, Doc Greene supplied the rescue team with foam mines and Phase Bits, which they used to restore the tunnels and prevent the island from sinking. Rise of the Heroes
When a pterodactyl was sighted on Mount Griffin, Doc Greene investigated and had to call for help when the creature mistook his hang glider for a mate. He tracked the pterodactyl back to Wayward Island, and took Trex along for protection, however when he found a group of dinosaurs, Trex became trapped by a rock fall and Greene required help from Heatwave to escape the island. Land Before Prime After Optimus went feral as a result of his new dino mode, Doc Greene, Boulder, Graham and Frankie worked on diagnosing the problem. Big Game
By giving the Imaging Device more power, Doc Greene was able to get it to materialise objects from his waking mind, leading to a plethora of copies of Mister Pettypaws appearing. He later carried out a demonstration with Kade, and while it initially blew a fuse, the machine produced four copies of Kade. Greene puzzled over how the clones persisted despite possessing no obvious power source until it was discovered they each had a short-circuiting comlink. Too Many Kades
During the ten-yearly appearance of the S.S. Phantom Voyager, Doc and Frankie were out on the floating lab recording its appearance. When it vanished with most of the rescue team on board, Doc Greene was able to analyze the readings and determine the energy matched the time machine found under the Griffin Rock laboratory. Ten years later, when the ship reappeared, he passed on his findings to the returned rescue team, so they could reverse the time machine's effects and return to the present. Phantom of the Sea
Doc Greene created a huge force field dome to cover the island when it was threatened by Hurricane Opie. The dome worked, but the stabilizer supplied to complete it was used by Vigil to return to the island. Vigil used the dome's atmosphere generator to put Doc Greene and the rest of town to sleep. After Vigil's defeat, Chief Burns opted to let Doc have his beauty sleep. No Place Like Dome Doc's work on studying the MorBot backfired when Morocco was able to use the creation to escape from jail. Bugs in the System When an attempt to use an anti-gravity patch was less than successful, Doc Greene instead went up in the space elevator to complete the Binary Diagnostic Link. A close encounter with a nebula swapped everyone's minds, with Doc inhabiting Chief Burns' form. He found working with Burns's stubby fingers difficult, but eventually came up with a solution and everyone was swapped back into the correct body. Switcheroo
After accidentally contaminating his clean room with his breakfast, Doc Greene upgraded Dither's CPU. One thing led to another, and Kade accidentally ingested some of the scrubmites Doc was using to sanitize the clean room. As a result, Doc used the Minimizer to shrink the rest of the rescue team so they could go inside Kade and retrieve the six missing scrubmites. Bot-Tastic Voyage Keen to have Frankie and Baranova getting on together, Doc Greene left them on the floating lab with the excuse he needed to get more mustard. Unfortunately Quint Quarry abducted Baranova and attempted to use her as leverage to get Greene to supply him with five dinobots. With the help of Optimus and the Rescue Bots, Greene supplied five robot dinosaurs, and was taken to the island to "complete" the last of the dinobots, as Blades had encountered problems transforming. There, he, Blades and Cody managed to find Baranova and Frankie, and rescued the Autobots from Quarry as well. Quarry's Quarry
When the rescue team brought a frozen caveman back from Wayward Island, Doc Greene discovered he was still alive and was able to thaw him. Their attempts to help "Ira" acclimate to modern life were hampered by Mrs. Dumont, a visiting investor, resulting in Greene having to accompany Ira to a formal dinner held by the mayor. Did You See What I Thaw? After a fire at the drive in, Doc Greene developed a new projector using the same technology from the Imaging Chamber. Unfortunately he and Frankie then had to scramble when a power surge resulted in the projector creating real-life Kaiju, and eventually succeeded in returning the creatures to the film. The Attack of Humungado
The mayor had Doc Greene create miniature souvenir Rescue Bots for Bot Appreciation Week, however Evan and Myles tampered with the creations, allowing them to turn the toys into kleptomaniacs. Doc Greene later reprogrammed them to clean up the mess they'd created. All Bots Great and Small When Cody started experiencing repeated time, Doc Greene broke off his energy drink experiments to help. After preventing Cody's third time jump, Greene discovered Cody's new pocket watch contained a time-travel crystal. Time After Time
The mayor had Doc Greene and Graham to assess Drilling Platform number 6 to see if drilling could be resumed. Doc found that the cap on the oil shaft needed replacing, but before he could do so, the cap released an oil spill, and he and Frankie had to be rescued from the resulting inferno, losing the floating lab in the process. Turning the Tide Doc Greene was able to repair the memory core from Blurr and Salvage's ship. The New Recruits When a solar flare knocked the island's power out, Doc used a potato-powered calculator to work out when the tech would recover, though he spotted a more pressing problem through his telescope — a rogue satellite about to hit the island. A New Hero
Doc Greene was able to identify some woodpeckers Boulder found as a species thought to be extinct. He leg-tagged the specimens and was later able to track them when they left Blossom Vale. Endangered Species He created some invisibility cloaks for his magician sister Maura the Magnificent, only for them to be stolen shortly after he gave them to her. More than Meets the Eye His testing of the Tone-O-Tuner he'd developed was put on hold when Cody and Frankie pointed out it would be cheating if they used it in the Griffin Rock Idol competition. He was unaware when the device was taken from his van by Priscilla Pynch, and later ended up causing the entire town to sing. I Have Heard the Robots Singing
Intending to propose to Baranova, Doc ventured into the disused mine to find a diamond and also stumbled on some reactaline which Chase helped him obtain for testing purposes. After an accident with a quantum crystal caused the reactaline beneath the town to teleport the entire island to the Arctic, Doc Greene raised the forcefield dome. Now and Then Doc manufactured a large amount of floatium, which was used to make the island float. On his daughter's prompting, he proposed to Baranova who accepted, though the pair went through a life-threatening experience when the ground gave way under them. Once the island had been floated back to Maine, Doc, Frankie and Baranova magnetized the reactaline to return it to its normal place. Today and Forever
Three years on and the Greenes had a new arrival in the form of CeCe, who was more than a handful. During the Velgrox invasion, Ezra and Anna were abducted while turning on the laboratory's satellite dish and later rescued along with the rest of the captured townsfolk. New Normal Doc Greene, Graham and Boulder succeeded in constructing the Griffin Rock end of a new GroundBridge to the mainland. When the initial tests resulted in Heatwave, Chase, Cody and Frankie being stranded in the Sahara, they had to work to get the travelers back. Bridge Building Doc Greene continued to work on the GroundBridge with Graham and Boulder in an attempt to iron out the bugs. After CeCe went missing and was rescued by Quickshadow, it turned out the malfunctions had actually been caused by the new Rescue Bot. Arrivals At some point, Doc Greene and Professor Baranova got involved in developing the Scrubber Initiative. Upgrades Expecting a shipment of Phodolite, Doc Greene arranged for the rescue team to safely transport it to the lab, and created a counter agent for Chase for use in the event it produced an acid cloud. Plus One
He was able to provide an anti-virus program when a virus temporarily took over some of the town's computers. Back to Virtual Reality Doc Greene studied some of the items left behind by the Velgrox during their hasty retreat, including some unique metal with the property to make things invisible. Vanishing Returns Doc Greene was working on a minimolecular collider when he was locked out of his lab by new mayor Chase. With the device in danger of overloading, which would result in the destruction of the island, he was forced to race and get the Rescue Team, who with Luskey's help, were able to open the lab so the device could be switched off. Mayor May Not
Doc was using the Minimizer to size-size rocks for the Parade of Metals for All Spark Day when a mishap caused CeCe to grow to immense size. While the rescue team kept her occupied and out of danger, Doc managed to repair the damaged Minimizer so he could use it to return her to her normal size. All Spark Day Doc Greene struggled to keep the town's ageing communications tower operational, but eventually found it was broken beyond his ability to repair it. The town managed to come up with the money for a new tower, despite Luskey's best efforts. Part-Time Heroes
Doc Greene provided a biometric scanning system for the new mainland Rescue Bot Training Center, however he was prevented from attending the opening when it turned out CeCe's scan hadn't been properly uploaded into the system. The More Things Change... He developed the Directional Momentum Amplifier as a device to make cars go faster without expending any more fuel. Unfortunately he had an appointment on the mainland, so wasn't around for their actual practical use as part of a race. Hot Rod Bot
The new super yeast Doc unveiled at the Pizza Pi Party turned out to be disastrous when cheerleaders knocked it into a bowl, resulting in a rapid-growing giant mound of pizza dough. Fortunately the rescue team was able to turn it into a giant pizza. Pizza Pi Party Doc Greene gave Chief a call when Madeline Pynch unveiled her latest development, an Energon power cell. Cody's 11
Doc and Professor Baranova finally let Frankie in on the Scrubber Initiative, just in time for the laboratory in Faxian to run into problems. Doc continued work on perfecting the speed patch for the Scrubbers, only for it to be stolen by the Morocco virus. Upgrades When Morocco set his sights on abducting Cody, Doc joined the defense at the beach to prevent Morocco from coming ashore. He was later present when Optimus gave the rescue team their new assignments. Transformations

Doc Greene created the Mano e Nano, a tech sculpture for the Museum of Future Tech Art. Whirl contacted him on the day of the museum's grand opening when the sculpture went missing. As it turned out, there had just been a lightning strike that had caused the sculpture to revert to formlessness, and Doc Greene was able to reconfigure it back into its intended form. Mystery Museum Doc Greene was demonstrating a new force field dome to a school field trip when one of the students triggered it, trapping everyone in the lab. Though the Rescue Bots were able to extract everyone, Doc Greene was reluctant to leave his life's work to be destroyed. Hot Shot talked him out of staying, and though the lab was reduced to a tiny smushed ball, Doc Greene was just thankful everyone was alive. Partners

- Boulder the Construction-Bot & Doc Greene (2013)
- Sold in the second wave of Playskool Rescue Bots Figure Packs, this non-posable figurine of Doc Greene was available in a two-pack with a partially-articulated non-transforming figure of Boulder. His proportions have been tweaked to the "big limbs" style popular with concurrent little kids' lines.
- Bumblebee & Doc Greene
- The same Doc Greene figure was later repackaged in a wave-six Figure Pack set with a similarly-repacked Bumblebee. Both figures are identical to their prior releases.
