	[[Ezra Greene\|Doc Greene]] races through the streets of [[Griffin Rock]] in his out-of-control experimental [[solar car]], pursued by [[Charlie Burns]] and [[Chase (RB)\|Chase]]. [[Heatwave (RB)\|Heatwave]] uses his ladder as a ramp so the Doc doesn't crash into some parked cars, and [[Boulder]] and [[Graham Burns\|Graham]] attempt to stop the car with an improvised spike strip. Unfortunately the car has a tire replacement system so the spike strip is ineffective, and the car starts heading up [[Old Canyon Road]] towards a busted bridge. Chase finally manages to catch up and, [[transformation\|transforming]], grabs the rear of the car and brings it to a halt. Doc Greene announces that apart from the control problems, the experiment was a success.

	In the aftermath of the rescue, [[Kade Burns\|Kade]], Graham and Dani are interviewed by reporter [[Huxley Prescott]], but Dani is annoyed that she didn't get to contribute during the operation. Elsewhere the [[Rescue Bot]]s are cleaning themselves, and [[Blades (RB)\|Blades]] feels equally underutilized. Heatwave grouses that all of them are under-appreciated for their work and the humans get all the credit.

	Dani pays a visit to Doc Greene, who is working on a new newspaper dispenser to replace the one he accidentally ran over (the replacement is slightly out of control). She asks about a scoop claw for Blades, and the Doc turns out to have an old one, once used for logging, in storage. Dani is soon installing it on a less-than-enthusiastic Blades. The other Rescue Bots are unable to hide their amusement at the affect the claw has on his robot mode, but the discussion is cut short by the report of a rock slide. The Rescue Bots roll out and start smashing boulders, but when [[Cody Burns\|Cody]] spots a huge boulder, the three ground-based bots prepare for the impact—only for Blades to grab it in his scoop claw.

	Blades is noticeably preening when they return to base. During the next few rescues, Blades and Dani use the scoop claw to solve each problem, leaving the other Rescue Bots with nothing to do. Kade and Graham complain to Dani, and when Cody tries to intercede, he's told the problem doesn't concern him. He goes down to the bunker instead, where Heatwave is preparing to remove the scoop claw from Blades, and is told much the same thing by the Rescue Bots. Dani arrives to take Blades out on patrol, and Cody, though annoyed by the others' dismissal of him, opts to go along to see what he can do to mitigate the problem.

	Cody and Blades talk to Dani, and she realizes she's been too hard on them. As a lightning storm moves in, Dani opts to go back to base, but too late, as Blades is hit by lightning. Dani sends a distress transmission as Blades makes an emergency landing at the bottom of a cliff. The trio prepare to wait for help, but more lightning starts a forest fire which threatens to broil the two humans sheltering in Blades like snickerdoodles. They use Blades's scoop claw to scale the cliff, though the chain gives out just as they reach the top and it turns out they're still trapped with the fire swiftly moving in. Blades attempt to fly them out is cut short by his damaged tail. Luckily the other three Rescue Bots arrive and Heatwave douses a way through the fire to Blades so they can carry the injured [[Autobot]] back down the hill.
