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 portion of the Aligned 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 non-sentient 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.
Fiction
Rescue Bots cartoon
- Voice actor: Steve Blum (English)
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 Rock 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
Heatwave and Kade continued having trouble working together, with Kade even preferring to drive a non-transforming firetruck. After Mount Magma started spewing lava and threatening the island, the pair were forced to work together, driving through a tunnel under the island to stop the lava from reaching the bunker under the fire station. Under Pressure Following the rescue of Doc Greene, Heatwave felt under-appreciated by the humans. He was amused when Dani fitted a scoop claw to Blades, but less so when the pair started upstaging the other Rescue Bots at rescues, and even threatened to forcibly remove the device from his comrade. Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots came to Blades's rescue when he was struck by lightning and unable to fly, after which Dani sent some appreciation their way and Blades promised not to use the claw as much. Hotshots
After another rescue of Doc Greene, Heatwave was still disgruntled and refused to take part in the Lobster and Technology Festival, instead staying back at the fire station to watch it on TV. When the town was attacked by flobsters, he ventured out to help the other Rescue Bots fight the flying critters, resulting in him later having to endure being climbed on by children. Flobsters on Parade Following the rescue of a truck of hazardous materials, Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were subjected to a screening of The Natives of Tatui, which accidentally resulted in Huxley Prescott causing a mass panic by reporting an alien invasion. The Rescue Bots had to destroy Prescott's SETI dish to save the island. The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock
Heatwave's attempt to stop Mr Harrison's heli-pack ride with water only resulted in an umbrella shop being flooded. When Boulder was taken over by nanites, Heatwave threatened to physically intervene, though Blades suspected Boulder would come out on top in that match-up. Cody on Patrol
Called out about a cat in a tree, Heatwave saved Mrs Neederlander when she fell out of a tree, and was rewarded with a slap in the face. The next day, he helped hunt a lion and return a bunch of lemurs to the zoo. Walk on the Wild Side When a rescue went wrong, Heatwave managed to fish Kade and another human out of a river using his fire hose. Cody roped the Rescue Bots, including "Uncle Heatwave", into helping him look after a Robo-Baby. The Robo-Baby seemed to like Heatwave best of all. After the baby went missing during a call-out, the bots had to rescue it from a wind farm. Heatwave caught it in mid-air after it fell from a windmill. Four Bots and a Baby
