'''''Transformers Rescue Bots: Hero Adventures''''' is a mobile game released by [[Budge Studios]]. 

==Plot==

Natural disasters are occurring all over [[Griffin Rock]]. The Rescue Bots are tasked with saving as many people as possible, as they try to figure out who's causing them.

Considering [[Doctor Morocco]] is on screen as [[Cody Burns|Cody]] is narrating to explain this, it isn't really much of a secret. He's using a [[weather machine]] attached to a buoy to control the weather. 

The Rescue Bots save people from wildfires, volcanic eruptions, avalanches and earthquakes.

After the Rescue Bots save many people from several natural disasters, Doctor Morocco appears on the screen at the firehouse, laughing evilly, and an invasion of [[Morbots]] begins causing trouble around Griffin Rock.

[[Bumblebee]] keeps the Morbots from attacking the civilians, fending them off with lasers. [[Chase]] leads the Morbots into a trap. In a bit of a non-sequitur, [[Optimus Prime]] runs towards a single Morbot and takes it out. [[Heatwave]] sprays the remaining Morbots with water, and [[Blades]] carries them into a crater. [[Boulder]] then clears a path from a nearby river to flood the crater, defeating the Morbots. 

Dr. Morocco retreats in [[Nemo]], plotting his revenge.

==Gameplay==

Natural disasters appear on a menu showing a map of Griffin Rock. The player selects a mission, and then chooses from the six available Rescue Bots. The earlier levels require only one, while eventually they require up to four Rescue Bots to be selected.

After this, the player transforms their Rescue Bot of choice by swiping a slider--up for robot mode, down for vehicle mode. This then begins a minigame. The game played depends on the Rescue Bot selected. There's different set dressing for them depending on the natural disaster selected, but they boil down to two kinds of mission per Rescue Bot, one for their vehicle mode and one for their robot mode.

The vehicle minigame for Chase has him drive away from approaching danger, dodging various obstacles in the process. His robot mode game has him finding civilians in a dark room 

-blades

-optimus prime

-bumblebee

-heatwave

-boulder

After enough disasters are cleared, the game brings the player back to the map menu. A gauge is filled, and more disasters come to take the cleared one's place.


==Notes== 

* As is common for Budge Studio games, ''Hero Adventures'' is free-to-start, but eventually requires money to progress, as the amount of Rescue Bots the player needs to complete a mission outpaces the two freely available, Chase and Blades.
* Bumblebee and Optimus Prime were late additions who weren't in older builds of the game. This results in Optimus Prime and Bumblebee's segments being awkwardly shoved into the ending sequence.  Bumblebee's feels somewhat natural, as it is incorporated into the beginning. But for Optimus, the camera in Chase's minigame 'still pans to Heatwave' before his part begins,
* Fire safety tips are worked in occasionally between levels.


=NICKTROP RESEARCH=

'''''Nicktropolis''''' was a virtual world browser game based on several [[Nickelodeon]] properties. It rebranded to The Club (in what year, look it up), before being discontinued altogether.

It announced a Transformers minigame in November 2008, with [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Transformers Universe]] branding (though the initial announcement page showed the logo for [[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|a different Transformers Universe]]<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20081119183457/http://www.nick.com/nicktropolis/game/index_transformers-game.jhtml Initial announcement page]</ref>). The minigame released in December that year.

==Transformers Game==

The minigame, referred to by the incredibly descriptive title of "Transformers Game", took place in the [[Desert Barren]], an abandoned place full of [[Energon|Energon cubes]], cacti and animal skulls. For some reason, Transformers were unable to collect these cubes themselves, and they needed human volunteers to help.

Players entered a room, which appeared to have video playing on an in-game screen. A surviving screenshot of this area shows part of the [[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|Transformers: Cybertron]] intro. There they chose between the Autobots or the Decepticons.

Once in the desert itself, they collected as many cubes as they could and brought them to their team's headquarters. They could lay traps for the opposing side, collecting Energon cubes from those who fell into them. The teams were marked by different uniforms. The Decepticon uniform was black with a purple insignia, while the Autobot uniform was blue with a black insignia. 

The team headquarters featured a leaderboard showing stats for the various players, and a percentage ranking of which team had collected the most Energon cubes overall. They were themed around the team in question, though only images of the Decepticon headquarters have been found.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20081121180305/http://www.nick.com/nicktropolis/game/index_transformers-game.jhtml Page describing gameplay]</ref>
