Transformers Rescue Bots: Hero Adventures
File:RescueBotsHeroAdventuresTitleScreen.jpg
Developer Budge Studios
Platform Android, iOS
Release date May 5, 2016

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 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.

Gaia Online is an anime-themed forum/avatar creation site released in 2003.

Gameplay

In Gaia Online, users play games and post on the forums in order to earn the ingame currency, Platinum (formerly Gold before hyperinflation made it easier to just switch currencies.) Platinum can be used to buy a variety of items, but is primarily used to buy clothing to dress up a pixel-art avatar, which appears in some games and also next to forum posts.

Transformers content

Transformers content in Gaia Online is minimal, but present, consisting of one clothing item. The Transformers Prime Chestplate is a chestplate featuring the Autobot insignia in black, with red as an accent color around it. It is listed as being released on November 12, 2010,[1] however all forum threads mentioning it are dated back to October 13th, predating this.[2]

The item was for a Hub Network sponsorship. The Hub was promoting Transformers Prime alongside Strawberry Shortcake.[3] Players could obtain the Transformers Prime Chestplate by watching a preview of Transformers Prime.

The Hub also ran another thread to promote the item, featuring a poll to choose between the Autobots and Decepticons. [4]
