Kade Burns
| The name or term "Burns" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Burns (disambiguation). |
- Kade Burns is a human jerk from the Rescue Bots portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Kade Burns went from high school star quarterback to firefighter, and carried his ego over between vocations. He can often be a jerk to his siblings, especially Cody, and he has trouble working with others, especially Heatwave. Perhaps his partnership with the Rescue Bot will temper him somewhat.
Fiction
Rescue Bots cartoon
- Voice actor: Jason Marsden (English)
Kade took part in a dedication ceremony during which Chief Burns unveiled the town's new emergency rescue robots, though Kade was started when his fire engine transformed without prompting to take him to the museum to attend to a fire. After Kade put the fire out, he was again surprised by his fire engine robot saving his father and brother Graham from a falling dinosaur head, but was all too happy to take the credit. That night, he was annoyed when his other brother, Cody, appeared to have commandeered his fire engine to chase around a rogue robot Tyrannosaurus rex from the museum. He was even more taken aback when the fire engine robot assisted in taking down the dinosaur by transforming and throwing the T. rex around. Chief Burns revealed that the four robots were actually aliens. Family of Heroes
This revelation didn't help, as Kade had trouble with the idea his fire engine was an Autobot and could drive itself. After Cody attempted to get him and Heatwave to bond, Kade turned up to the next disaster with a real fire engine, only for it to be destroyed by the lava, requiring him to be rescued by Heatwave. As they later fought to stop Mount Magma from erupting, Heatwave and Kade were forced to try to stop the lava flow from reaching the bunker under the fire station. When they ran out of water, Kade opted to stay by Heatwave's side. Luckily, Dani and Blades came to their rescue with the contents of a water tower. Under Pressure
Kade and Heatwave teamed up again to help save Doc Greene after the scientist's experimental car went out of control. Kade became disgruntled when Dani fitted a scoop claw to Blades, and the pair started hogging all the rescue action, and took his concerns to his sister. Things seemed to go much smoother after the others had to rescue Blades, Dani and Cody following a lightning strike, and Blades decided to put the claw in storage. Hotshots Following another rescue of Doc Greene in which Kade and Heatwave had to retrieve him from a building, the Rescue Bots were to have taken part in a technology parade, but Heatwave had "engine trouble". Kade was just relieved he would have a break from hanging around with Heatwave, but when the Lobster and Technology Festival was attacked by flobsters, he was forced to call the fire station to try to cajole Heatwave into coming to help.

He and Heatwave rescued Edgar Prewett from a truck dangling over a cliff. The pair also attempted to help residents of Griffin Rock after Huxley Prescott caused a mass panic by reporting an alien invasion. The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock After a lion and some lemurs escaped from the zoo, Kade and Heatwave took part in the effort to round them up. Walk on the Wild Side
Though their attempt to stop Mr Harrison by spraying him with water didn't work, the pair later helped stop rampaging nanites who took over Boulder. Cody on Patrol During a bridge repair job, Kade and Heatwave had to rescue an impatient motorist who plunged into the river, though Kade was almost swept over a waterfall in the process. He also attended a call out when the bank was in danger of falling into a sink hole. Cody deprived him of the chance to test Doc Greene's Turbo Cycle, and instead he got stuck babysitting the Robo-Baby for a week. Four Bots and a Baby
