Heatwave (RB)

This article is about the Fire-Bot from Rescue Bots. For the Timelines combiner, see Heatwave (Timelines).

Heatwave the Fire-Bot is an Autobot from the Rescue Bots continuity family.

The team leader of the Rescue Bots, Heatwave was given his position because of how deeply he cares for his team and their mission. However, he is a bot of action at heart and sometimes has little patience for anything he sees as getting in the way of his mission, including staying in disguise as nonsentient vehicles and working with human partners. When he goes into action, though, no blaze is too strong for his armor. With built-in water cannons, a rescue hook, and a fireman's axe, he's well prepared to take on the most stubborn fires and most intense rescue missions. He partners with the other Rescue Bots and with their newest human teammates, Kade and Cody Burns.

Heatwave was part of a team of Rescue Bots drifting through space when their spaceship received a transmission from Optimus Prime and landed on Earth. After dropping the bombshell that Cybertron was no more, Optimus appointed Heatwave team leader and assigned them to Griffin Island to work with the Burns family. The four Rescue Bots were presented to the public by Chief Burns at a ceremony, following which Heatwave and his new partner, Kade Burns, drove to the museum to attend to a fire. Heatwave was disgruntled when Kade took the credit for his saving Burns and Graham from a falling dinosaur statue head. That night, Cody Burns discovered the Rescue Bots' secret, and after they helped stop a rogue robot Tyrannosaurus Rex, Chief Burns revealed the truth to the rest of the team. Family of Heroes
