Boulder 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 assigned the team to Griffin Rock to work with the Burns family. The four Rescue Bots were presented to the public by Chief Burns at a ceremony, following which Boulder and his new partner, Graham Burns, drove to the museum to attend to a fire. To Boulder's dismay, he had to ruin the aesthetics of the plaza outside the museum by moving planters. He was impressed by the humans' culture, admiring their paintings. 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

Boulder and Graham had trouble working together, as Graham assumed a robot from space wouldn't need help from a primitive human. After Mount Magma started spewing lava and threatening the island, Cody managed to get the pair communicating so they could locate the artificial mountain's release control. Boulder was also able to map the underground cave system when the lava started pouring into it, threatening the bunker under the fire station. Under Pressure

During an attempt to rescue Doc Greene from his out-of-control car, Boulder and Graham improvised a spike strip, which turned out to be ineffective. When Dani and Blades later started hogging the limelight with a new scoop claw, Boulder didn't seem as put out at the other Rescue Bots and even thanked Blades. He and the others rescued Blades after the copter-bot was hit by lightning. Hotshots
