- The MorBot is a robot from the Rescue Bots portion of the Aligned continuity family.
The MorBot is an invention of Doctor Morocco. Constructed of the most advanced technology, it is positively bristling with deadly weapons hi-tech rescuing gear, including a giant cannon industrial-strength fire extinguisher and rocket boots. It even has the ability to convert into an armored assault tank a rescue vehicle. It's sure to be a great asset to any terrorist rescue organization.
Fiction
Rescue Bots cartoon
- Voice actor: Maurice LaMarche (English)
In 1939, the arrival of the time-travelling Autobots from the future, Morocco had the robots' abilities studied, but when the tests yielded little information, he strung the robots up with electromagnets and prepared to vivisect them. The arrival of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee from the future stymied his plans, but even as the robots and children escaped back to their future, Morocco discovered that they had accidentally left a small robot behind. It's a Bot Time Before he could examine it, however, the Rescue Bots returned to 1939, retrieving Dither. But it is possible for the little information he had gathered, he was able to enginner a Morbot. Bot to the Future
After causing Doc Greene to be fired as Griffin Rock's lead scientist, Morocco sabotaged a road roller, allowing his MorBot to swoop in and save the day ahead of the Rescue Bots. The MorBot made short work of the roller, impressing Mayor Luskey, who agreed to let the MorBot enter into a competition with Chief Burn's team. Morocco engineered a fire at the dock, which the MorBot extinguished by diving into the sea and causing a giant wave. After the MorBot stopped both a runaway toy rocket and Doc Greene's solar car, the latter just before it would have squashed the mayor, Luskey was only too happy to promote Morocco to lead scientist. The Other Doctor
The MorBot continued to rescue people, halting Mr Harrison's runaway flight and retrieving Mister Pettypaws from a tree, though its rescue methods left something to be desired. It also guarded the laboratory, and pursued Blades, Dani and Cody when they tried to spy on Morocco. After Cody and Frankie sneaked into the lab, they were spotted by Morocco, who sent the MorBot after them. Though carelessly knocking a grenade and causing an explosion, the MorBot pursued its quarry into Morocco's blimp. It was prevented from reaching the two children by a large door, and by the time it broke through, Cody had landed the blimp. The MorBot jumped out to attack them, only to be surrounded by the Rescue Bots, who forcibly disassembled it. The Reign of Morocco
A solitary MorBot stood aboard the bridge of Morocco's main sub, the Nemo. Double Villainy Doc Greene was studying the MorBot which the Rescue Bots had disassembled, keeping its head on a table in his lab, much to Frankie's discomfort. Some mutant army ants were later able to reconnect the head's power supply, enabling the MorBot to reactivate and break Morocco out of jail. Bugs in the System
Alternate timeline
Using technology from the robot, Dither, which had been left behind in 1939 by the time-traveling Rescue Bots, Morocco eventually created an army of "MorBot" automatons and took over Griffin Rock, redubbing it "Moropolis". When a team of Autobots returned from 1939, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee began trashing the Morbots, eventually wiping out all of them except the larger red MorBot that Morocco was driving. The evil scientist drove the last MorBot after the rogue group as they headed for the Temporal Station they were using. He was too late to stop them however, and crashed the MorBot into the time machine. The Autobots returned to 1939 to retrieve Dither and erased the timeline.Bot to the Future
Toys
Rescue Bots
- Bumblebee and MorBot (2-pack, 2014)
- Only available in a two-pack with Bumblebee, MorBot is a non-transforming minifigure with no articulation. He is also a little chubby.
Notes
- It is unclear how exactly Morocco was able to engineer a man-made Transformer, as it was established in Prime (which is set in the same continuity) when MECH tried to build a Transformer, such additonal supplies were needed, such as Energon and a Transformation cog. However, it is shown that the Morbots' possess sentience and the ability to transform with out the proper necessities. This is partial explained in the alternate timeline, where they were reverse egineered from Dither, however it is unclear how he was able to do so in the original timeline without the presence of Dither, though it is possible he was able to gather some information in the indentical restored timeline, in time to create a Morbot in present day. Then again nothing the Aligned continuity family makes sense, so this is not uncommon.
