Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy is an animated cartoon series developed by Boulder Media Studio as a sequel to Transformers: Rescue Bots, with Ben Ward and Nicole Dubuc as story editors. The series had a special advance premiere on December 8, 2018, while the remaining episodes began airing on January 5, 2019 on Discovery Family in the US and Pop TV in the UK. Two 52 episode seasons are currently planned, and like Transformers: Cyberverse, each episode runs for 11 minutes.[1] The voice cast of Rescue Bots did not reprise their roles, with existing characters being re-cast with voice actors from the same New York-based casting pool as Cyberverse.
Intended for more of a preschool audience than its predecessor, the series follows the first class of the new Rescue Bot Training Academy, learning from the more experienced Rescue Bots how to respond to emergency situations and become heroes.
| “ | Earth needed help and they answered the call, No rescue too big, no hero too small. Recruits come to learn from the best of the best, They'll be Rescue Bots too, if they pass the test! |

Notes
- The series uses a different art style from its predecessor. For example, the robot characters in this series have full optics instead of large gaps around an iris. The recruits also have a shorter stature than the other bots, with Optimus being the tallest of the cast.
- Several characters, including Optimus Prime, Grimlock, Bumblebee and Ratchet, have been heavily redesigned from their previous appearances in Rescue Bots and other Aligned continuity series. All four now resemble their "evergreen" designs, in a concession to Hasbro's push for a unified brand look.
