| The name or term "Wedge" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Wedge (disambiguation). |
- Wedge the Construction-Bot is an Autobot from Rescue Bots Academy portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Wedge is pretty sure he's the best of the new Rescue Bot recruits and will jump at the chance to prove it. This has resulted in something of a rivalry stewing between him and Hot Shot, and if there's any criticism to be made of his fellow recruits, Wedge will be the one to make it, though he'll usually regret it soon after.
Fiction
Rescue Bots Academy cartoon
- Voice actor: Mason Hensley (English)
Wedge won a rescue competition to earn himself a spot studying at the Rescue Bot Training Center on Earth. He started an instant rivalry with Hot Shot when the latter was assigned to the team of new recruits by Optimus Prime. Once Hot Shot screwed up the first rescue drill, Wedge challenged him to a simple stacking contest and easily won. Recruits Part I Hot Shot went on to win an obstacle course race against Wedge and revealed that Optimus had given him the ability to use three alternate modes, though Wedge was still unimpressed, beliving it was the bot and not their abilities that made for a good rescuer. Nonetheless when Hot Shot later realized that the jet mode he was stuck with for the day was useless for the cave rescue exercise they'd been assigned, Wedge joined the others in encouraging him not to give up. Recruits Part II
Following a particularly tricky rescue, Hoist constructed new tools for everyone, including power drivers for Wedge. The first test didn't go well, but Wedge and the others enlisted Boulder to give Hoist some encouragement and help perfect the tools. If at First... After Hot Shot was assigned to look after Tough Luck Chuck when the test robot was damaged, Wedge and Hoist found Chuck roaming the training center. He slipped through their fingers as well and got through the GroundBridge, forcing the recruits to search for him in Milford. Tough Luck Chuck Bored by Chase's class on police codes, Wedge and the other recruits persuaded Chase to let them try to do a practice rescue, and ended up being rescued themselves by Whirl when they got stuck in the snow. Whirl'd View When the recruits didn't understand why Boulder was having them plant flowers, the Rescue Bot set them a task which taught them that all parts of nature are important. Plan Bee
