Quotes

"Aw, no fair! I don't have a third form."
"Sure you do! Helicopter, Bot, and whiner."

—Blades and Heatwave

"I am a rescue robot."
"And I'm the Duchess of Kent."
"Greetings, Duchess."

—Blades and Morocco

"Heatwave's been great! No complaining, no arguing." [beat]] Gasp! What's wrong with him?!"

—Kade on the Bots' odd behavior.

"Look, it doesn't matter why we're doing this. It's what Optimus Prime ordered."

Notes

Continuity notes

• The picture of the rescue team which Morocco shows Pynch is from "Family of Heroes" when the Rescue Bots were first revealed.
• A MorBot can be seen aboard Morocco's HQ.
• Blades uses an energize tool - a grappling hook, during the game of Rescue Ball.
• The meteor virus was previously seen in "Bumblebee to the Rescue". Morocco appears to have stolen a sample of it when he visited the fire station in "Changes", which is also the episode in which he learned the Bots were aliens.
• Luskey suggests building a library out of recyclables, which happened back in "Walk on the Wild Side".
• The incident with the drive-in Cody mentions occurred in "Family of Heroes".

Transformers references

• Heatwave mentions Scraplets.

Real-world references

• Doc Greene's line "May the force-field be with you" is a clear nod to the Star Wars franchise.
• Luskey has a tattoo which says "Rosebud", a reference to Citizen Kane.
