Voice actor: Shannon McKain (English), Grzegorz Woś (Polish), Luis Leonardo Suárez (Latin American-Spanish)

Graham was at the dedication of the dedication of the new rescue robots with his brother Kade and sister Dani when an alert came through of a fire at the natural history museum. He headed there in his new bulldozer, though the robot seemed oddly concerned about spoiling the plaza's aesthetics when he tried to move the planters. That night, the trio were further startled when their vehicles went off on their own to chase a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex. At Cody's suggestion, Graham used his bulldozer-bot to extract a jail cell from the police station so Dani could use her helicopter to trap the dinosaur. It was only later that Chief Burns revealed that the four robots were aliens. Family of Heroes

Graham doesn't know Michael Bay rigged the game to blow.

With this revelation, Graham found it difficult to work with Boulder because he couldn't work out what a lowly human could offer a technologically-advanced alien, and even Cody's attempt to get them to bond failed. When they had to deal with Mount Magma, Cody gave Graham advice over the radio and got him to work together to locate the volcano's main control, and later map the underground tunnels to track the lava flow as it headed for the bunker. Under Pressure

Graham and Boulder tried to stop Doc Greene's out-of-control car with an improvised spike strip which proved ineffective. After the rescue, Dani fitted Blades with a scoop claw, resulting in the pair hogging all the rescues, including clearing a road which Boulder and Graham were about to do. Graham and Kade tried to take their concerns to Dani, but it was only after they had to come to her and Blades's rescue that the scoop claw was put in storage. Hotshots When the Lobster and Technology Festival was attacked by flobsters, Graham and Boulder helped by scooping them up after Doc Greene's new compound removed their ability to fly. Flobsters on Parade

The pair assisted in preventing a potentially disastrous spill of hazardous materials. When Huxley Prescott caused everyone to believe aliens were invading, they paid a visit to Mr Perkins's farm to find there were only cows there. After the power went out, Graham visited the power plant and determined that Prescott's SETI dish was the cause of the problem. The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock After a lion and some lemurs escaped from the zoo, Graham and Boulder used some lemur feed to lure the lemurs back to their enclosure. Walk on the Wild Side

Time to bust some ghosts!

Though their attempt to stop Mr Harrison's heli-pack ride didn't go so well, the pair later helped quell some rampaging nanites. Cody on Patrol During repair work on a bridge, Graham watched in amazement as an idiot tried to jump the gap on a motorcycle and fell short. He and Boulder took part in a rescue operation when the bank was in danger of falling into a sinkhole, and Graham stuck his arm into a sewer pipe to retrieve the Rubber Ducky that was blocking it. Four Bots and a Baby During a snowfall, Graham stood watch so the Rescue Bots could have some fun in the snow. When the weather machine they were using to create the snow went out of control, he and Boulder helped Doc Greene take the machine back to his lab for repairs. Christmas in July

Graham, Kade, and Dani used excuses to get out of the annual Burns fishing trip, but later changed their minds and arrived on the pier to discover they'd missed out on the giant mechanical shark. Deep Trouble When the island's technology ran loose as a result of the mainframe being hacked, Graham and Boulder had to help get Mayor Luskey out of the town hall. Return of the Dino Bot The arrival of Doctor Morocco and his MorBot resulted in the entire team being stood down, after they failed to compete against the newcomer. The Other Doctor As the Rescue Bots tried to adjust to their new life, Graham found himself being subjected to Chase's pea soup and had to politely decline. He and the team finally got back into action when they had to attend a fire at the lab, and the discovery of new information about Morocco resulted in the team being reinstated for good. The Reign of Morocco

"Umm, could somebody call a metal stingray, please?"

Graham went to the Hall of Inspiration to do a safety check and took Cody and Boulder along. That night the hall was broken into, and when the team attended to it, Graham, Kade and Dani lost their robot partners. Graham and Dani monitored Griffin Rock dam from the fire station after it put out an electronic alarm. Small Blessings After Cody found a lead about a particular tunnel in the cave network, he enlisted Graham and the bots to help him find it. They discovered a small station in which Graham and Cody briefly got caught in an airlock, and it was only through quick thinking that they got out. A videotape they found led the team to venture into the Griffin Rock Triangle where they found Professor Baranova still living in the crashed Midgard and helped her complete her mission to seal the methane vent that had been causing the ship sinkings. The Griffin Rock Triangle

After the Chief went off to check the Griffin Crest security, Graham, Dani and Kade had to head there to rescue three of the Rescue Bots after they were caught in the EMP field. Rules and Regulations When a storm hit Griffin Rock, Graham helped secure the town and searched for Cody on the Darby Ava after his brother was swept out to sea. The Lost Bell Graham accompanied the team on a mission to Wayward Island to investigate a meteorite. After Heatwave, Boulder and Chase were infected by a virus from the meteorite, the Burns family returned to the island, but Graham was knocked overboard when the boat hit rocks, and had to be rescued by Bumblebee. He subsequently got to repair the Darby Ava's engine so they could get back to Griffin Rock. Bumblebee to the Rescue

"Are you doing science again?"

Having applied to Gremsky Technical Institute, Graham received a letter signifying his acceptance, though he was unsure as to whether he'd go or not. During a subsequent call out when they had to deal with a rampaging blob of Squilsh, Graham talked about going to Gremsky with Boulder. He and Boulder used their engineering skills to stop the blob, after which Graham ultimately realized that he'd be able to learn more by being part of the team. You've Been Squilshed Following the disappearance of most of the townsfolk, Graham dissected a mechanical bug Chase caught and discovered it contained a quantum subspace wormhole generator. Before he could expound on his plan to deal with the problem of finding where it was transporting people to, he was teleported to a cavern under Griffin Rock where he found the rest of the townspeople. Though he took part in an effort to dig themselves out, ultimately they were rescued by the Rescue Bots. Countdown

Graham and the rest of the team attended a call out to the bank where they encountered what appeared to be a ghost. The town was soon overrun by them, and Graham attempted to use Doc Greene's Spectral Vapor Filter on one, to limited effect. It later turned out the ghosts were simply holograms anyway. The Haunting of Griffin Rock During a Kade-initiated race, Graham and Boulder managed to demolish the Horace Burns statue. When Chase and the Chief went missing, Graham and the rest of the team searched all night, and were eventually led to the lead mine. He and Dani accompanied Boulder and Blades into the mine to search, finding Chase and helping him break out. Little White Lies

Not quite ready for a close-up just yet.

After an earthquake struck the town, forcing the team to go into rescue mode, Graham traced the source of the tremors to a location in the tunnels under Griffin Rock. There, they located a storage area of inventions, including a huge subwoofer. Graham eventually tracked the wireless signal controlling it back to the jukebox in the Hall of Inspiration collection. Shake Up After Cody got a repulsor badge, he assisted Graham in changing a tire, but his use of the device started getting out of control. Graham and the rest of the team eventually had to save him from the overloading badge. Rescue Boy

Graham got help with his engineering homework from Boulder. The pair attended the testing of a time machine, and Graham's partner was transported back to 1939 with the other Bots. It's a Bot Time In an alternate reality created when history was changed, Graham and his brother and sister were mechanics. The trio constructed the Mobile Headquarters to combat the ruling Doctor Morocco's MorBots, though in the end they didn't use it until they needed to get a group of time traveling Rescue Bots back to their time machine. Bot to the Future

Graham installed a mobile version of the command center in the Mobile HQ. He later joined the chase to find the Mobile HQ after it was teleported around the island. Road Trip He and the rest of the team had to save the town's citizens when the plants in Frankie's sky forest grew out of control. Sky Forest The team had to had to deal with Cody being aged to an adult as well as a rocket that had become tangled in power lines. One for the Ages

When an iceberg was discovered that was actually a frozen ship carrying a dangerous Sub-Zero Expander, Graham took part in an attempt to get rid of the device by blowing it up, which was aborted when it turned out Doctor Morocco had claimed the vessel as salvage. The team had to deal with the fallout when the device exploded and froze a five-mile section of ocean. At one point, Graham lost his hard hat. Graham and the other human members of the team were also saved when their sinking boat was unexpectedly saved by Morocco. Tip of the Iceberg Graham and the rest of the team were mesmerized by cellphones, forcing them to mine Blossom Vale until the spell was broken by the destruction of the cell tower. Spellbound
