Blades 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. Blades was not keen on the helicopter alternate mode he was forced to take, as his previous form had wheels and he was afraid of heights. The four Rescue Bots were presented to the public by Chief Burns at a ceremony, following which Blades discovered that his new partner, Dani Burns, could yell really loud when she wanted him to fly faster as they went to the museum to attend to a fire. 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
Dani and Blades continued to have trouble working together, arriving late to an emergency. Cody tried unsuccessfully to get the pair to bond, until there was another emergency when Mount Magma began threatening the island with lava. Blades and Dani operated the switch to open the volcano's crater as a relief measure, but when they were subsequently caught in an ash cloud, Dani had to cajole a panicking Blades into flying out of it. He managed to earn her respect when he subsequently braved the ash to pick up a water tower and douse the lava with it. Under Pressure
After Blades felt like he wasn't contributing enough, Dani fitted a scoop claw to him, something he wasn't that enthusiastic about, and made him look fat in robot mode. The claw soon proved its worth, though the other Rescue Bots were annoyed Blades and Dani were hogging all the rescues and even threatened to forcibly remove it. When during a patrol, Blades was forced down by a lightning strike, the other Rescue Bots came to his aid, and he and Dani decided to use the claw scoop a little less often in the future. Hotshots Blades and Dani retrieved a lobster parade balloon after it carried away Doc Greene. Three of the Rescue Bots took part in the technology parade during the Lobster and Technology Festival but the town was attacked by flobsters, who seemed to have a liking for Blades's face. He and Dani helped round them up using a cage and the lobster balloon, so they could be neutralized. Afterwards, Blades finally worked out the joke. Flobsters on Parade
After Boulder got the idea to adopt a pet, Blades helped him by shutting down the power to Griffin Rock Zoo. They spent the rest of the night trying to find the lion that Boulder had let loose, and Blades ended up catching it in a cage. Walk on the Wild Side
After helping prevent a hazardous chemical spill, the Rescue Bots were forced to endure a screening of The Natives of Tatui that resulted in Huxley Prescott causing a mass panic when he reported an alien invasion. The Rescue Bots had to help during the ensuing chaos and destroyed Huxley's SETI dish to avoid the island's destruction. The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock After Cody souped up a go-kart, Blades was worried he wouldn't want to hang out with them any more. The go-kart turned sour when Cody tried to soup it up with nanites, which instead ran rampant, and the Rescue Bots had to help him. Cody on Patrol
Cody roped the Rescue Bots into helping him take care of a Robo-Baby. They found Blades's rotors had a soothing effect on the baby and put it to sleep. When the bank was in danger of falling into a sinkhole, Blades and Dani had to rescue Mr Harrison again, and in the meantime the baby escaped from the fire station, forcing Cody and the Rescue Bots to track it down.
