Fiction

Rescue Bots cartoon

Charlie Burns, his son Cody Burns and their Rescue Bots set out on the annual Burns family fishing trip. They hadn't been out for long when they were attacked by a giant robot shark, which struck the boat, causing Heatwave to fall overboard. After consulting with Doc Greene, Burns took the boat out again with the Rescue Bots, planning to use an electro-magnetic lure to trap the shark in a cove. The shark took the bait and started following the Darby Ava, but veered off to investigate the Griffin Rock ferry. After Burns and Blades went to help the people on the ferry, the other Rescue Bots abandoned ship to attack the shark. Deep Trouble

After Cody and the four Rescue Bots were swept out to sea, the rest of the Burns family pressed the Darby Ava into service as a search-and-rescue vessel, along with many of Griffin Rock's other boats. The Lost Bell

They used the boat to reach Wayward Island after a meteor crashed there. During a second visit to the island to destroy the meteorite, the Darby Ava was swept into rocks, damaging the ending and triggering the countdown on the bomb they'd brought. Graham was able to fix the engine, and the bomb was used to destroy the meteorite. Bumblebee to the Rescue
