The Rescue Bots were assigned to protect the island after arriving on Earth, and were presented to the population by Chief Charlie Burns as hi-tech robots which would assist him and his family. After they successfully dealt with a fire at the natural history museum, Cody Burns discovered that the four robots were aliens. He showed them the tunnels which ran all over the island from the Cold War bunker beneath the fire station, and they managed to stop a rampaging robotic Tyrannosaurus rex that had escaped from the museum and was threatening the drive-in theater.

Further trouble came when Chase and Chief Burns had to stop a robo-landscaper that had gone rogue and begun carving up downtown. That same day, the rescue team had to deal with lava flooding out of the sewers, thanks to Mount Magma building up too much pressure. Under Pressure
