High Tide came to Earth in response to a request from Optimus. He was investigating the seabed around Drilling Platform number 6 near Griffin Rock when he rescued Heatwave from a whirlpool, and took the Rescue Bot back to land. There Optimus assigned High Tide to train the Rescue Bots in water rescues. He took them out on his ship and drilled them, though he was unimpressed with how they did, requiring him to rescue Boulder at one point, and the next day he was even subjected to insubordination from Heatwave, whom he kicked off the ship. Training was interrupted by a crisis at the oil rig, and the Rescue Bots proved their worth by rescuing Doc Greene and Frankie, as well as capping the oil shaft to stop the spill. High Tide later admitted his management style could use work, and agreed to stick around as Doc's floating lab had been destroyed. Turning the Tide
After Jules Verne arrived from the past, High Tide took him and the Rescue Bots out on the ship. His submarine mode turned out to be invaluable to let Verne, Cody and the Chief reach Dr. Morocco's sub the Nemo. When Morocco unleashed several large sea beasts on the ship, High Tide simply merged with it, and the sight of the resulting giant 'Bot made Morocco surrender. The Last of Morocco
High Tide sat in on a call to the Rescue Bots who were going to give some new recruits some tips, only to find the Bots on Griffin Rock were only able to sing. I Have Heard the Robots Singing High Tide was on his way to Griffin Rock with Blurr and Salvage 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. 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. Today and Forever
On All Spark Day, High Tide celebrated by repeatedly jumping into the sea, until he was told to stop because he was creating huge waves. The Rescue Bots later called him in to tell stories to a super-sized CeCe Greene so she could fall asleep. He was later seen telling Griffin Rock residents a story about the destruction of the Hammer of Primus. All Spark Day
Quickshadow and High Tide were assigned as Blades's team to protect the Scrubber Initiative in Faxian, China. They proved unable to prevent the Morocco virus from stealing the technology from under their olfactory sensors. Upgrades Later back at the Training Center, they were present as Optimus made the assignment permanent. Transformations

Following the restoration of Cybertron from the Great War, High Tide was one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the new High Council for being a supporter of Optimus Prime. Enemy of My Enemy

Rescue Bots
- High Tide Rescue Rig (Playset, 2015)
- The High Tide playset includes a large playset in the shape of a ship and a submarine with a simplified transformation into a robot. The front of the ship's hull directly in front of the bridge can be opened and the robot placed inside. Pulling a lever on the side of the ship up raises the robot and reveals the Megabot head. Pushing the levers down auto-transforms the robot into submarine mode inside the ship. The lower front of the hull can be swiveled to one side to expel the submarine.
- High Tide (Featured Bot, 2015)
- A non-transforming figure of High Tide in his Megabot Mode was unveiled at Toy Fair 2015. It features a claw pinching action on its left arm.
- Deep Water Rescue High Tide (Megabot, 2016)
- Part of the second wave of Megabots figures, High Tide in, of course, his Megabot Mode changes into a huge rescue ship and back in a few steps. His crane is removable and can be placed on his robot mode back or on attachment points on both his stern and bow in ship mode. These connection points are the same as the ladder piece from Elite Rescue Heatwave's thus making their tools interchangeable if you felt so inclined to swap them.
- He features articulation at his shoulders and numerous 5mm slots to attach Rescue Mini-Con tools as well as small pegs to accommodate human figures.
- High Tide (Epic Figure, 2016)
- High Tide is a 12-inch-tall non-transforming figure with basic articulation. His chest can open to hold a human figure, and he features 5mm ports to attach accessories and Mini-Cons.
- High Tide (Rescue Bot,
2017)
- Solicited as an exclusive to Amazon.com, this version of High Tide was to be released concurrently with Salvage and is sized around the scale of the very original Rescue Bots toys. He shares engineering with his original figure from the Rescue Rig playset, but isn't encumbered by the gimmickry that toy was designed around and is therefore more robust and show-accurate. Unfortunately he was cancelled in December 2017.
