Fiction

Rescue Bots cartoon

Three Scrubbers went out of control and were released on the city, resulting in the Griffin Rock rescue team having to GroundBridge there to subdue them. To protect the project, Blades, Dani, Quickshadow, and High Tide were assigned to Faxian. The Morocco virus got wind of the project and arrived via the GroundBridge, managing to evade Blades's team and make off with the technology from the lab. Upgrades With the GroundBridge down, Blades and Dani were able to borrow a rocket booster so they could fly back to the US to help out when it turned out Morocco was not down for the count.

Notes

• The city's name may be a reference to the Mandarin word for "find"/"discover", 发现 (fāxiàn). Of course, Mandarin is not the common language of Hong Kong...
• The city's name could also be referencing Faxian (法顯 [fà.ɕjɛ̀n]; 337 CE – c. 422 CE), a Chinese Buddhist monk and translator who traveled by foot from China to India to acquire Buddhist texts. Referencing the fact that Faxian use knowledge far from home to help his people, mirroring the city connection with Cybertron.
