Transformers Rescue Bots: Hero Adventures is a mobile game released by Budge Studios.

Plot

Natural disasters are occurring all over Griffin Rock. The Rescue Bots are tasked with saving as many people as possible, as they try to figure out who's causing them.

Considering Doctor Morocco is on screen as Cody is narrating to explain this, it isn't really much of a secret. He's using a weather machine attached to a buoy to control the weather.

The Rescue Bots save people from wildfires, volcanic eruptions, avalanches and earthquakes.

After the Rescue Bots save many people from several natural disasters, Doctor Morocco appears on the screen at the firehouse, laughing evilly, and an invasion of Morbots begins causing trouble around Griffin Rock.

Bumblebee keeps the Morbots from attacking the civilians, fending them off with lasers. Chase leads the Morbots into a trap. In a bit of a non-sequitur, Optimus Prime runs towards a single Morbot and takes it out. Heatwave sprays the remaining Morbots with water, and Blades carries them into a crater. Boulder then clears a path from a nearby river to flood the crater, defeating the Morbots.

Dr. Morocco retreats in Nemo, plotting his revenge.

Gameplay

Natural disasters appear on a menu showing a map of Griffin Rock. The player selects a mission, and then chooses from the six available Rescue Bots. The earlier levels require only one, while eventually they require up to four Rescue Bots to be selected.

After this, the player transforms their Rescue Bot of choice by swiping a slider--up for robot mode, down for vehicle mode. This then begins a minigame. The game played depends on the Rescue Bot selected. There's different set dressing for them depending on the natural disaster selected, but they boil down to two kinds of mission per Rescue Bot, one for their vehicle mode and one for their robot mode.

The vehicle minigame for Chase has him drive away from approaching danger, dodging various obstacles in the process. His robot mode game has him finding civilians in a dark room

-blades

-optimus prime

-bumblebee

-heatwave

-boulder

After enough disasters are cleared, the game brings the player back to the map menu. A gauge is filled, and more disasters come to take the cleared one's place.


Notes

  • As is common for Budge Studio games, Hero Adventures is free-to-start, but eventually requires money to progress, as the amount of Rescue Bots the player needs to complete a mission outpaces the two freely available, Chase and Blades.
  • Bumblebee and Optimus Prime were late additions who weren't in older builds of the game. This results in Optimus Prime and Bumblebee's segments being awkwardly shoved into the ending sequence. Bumblebee's feels somewhat natural, as it is incorporated into the beginning. But for Optimus, the camera in Chase's minigame 'still pans to Heatwave' before his part begins,
  • Fire safety tips are worked in occasionally between levels.

Club BK, occasionally formatted without the space as ClubBK, was a virtual world browser game developed by Design Kitchen to promote Burger King. It had promotions tying into the live action Transformers movies.

Gameplay

Club BK was a rather standard virtual world game. Players could customize their characters & rooms, earn the in-game currency called Crowns, and play minigames. There was also a chat system, though it was a very limited safe chat, using a set of pre-selected phrases.

The game's hub was a planet-sized spaceship, though players could go to other locations and complete quests.

Transformers content

Players could enter codes included with their Burger King toys to unlock prizes, though what exactly what these prizes were is unknown. There were two known events, one in 2009 with the release of Burger King's Revenge of the Fallen toys, and one in 2011 with the release of their Dark of The Moon toys. The 2009 event is known to have

Notes

  • A Bumblebee outfit was also released, as shown on the design portfolio of Derek Dietrich-Muller. While it is likely this released at the same time as the Optimus Prime helmet (which would mean the Optimus Prime helmet probably came with an associated outfit) this isn't known for sure.[2]
