Love how Chief Burns' reaction to this is essentially:

"Fuck this, I'm going back to sleep."

Heatwave promised himself that he would adopt Cody if anything happened to the Chief.

Finding that your child is a magical creature can mean: you accept it, or you hate it...

I show you how Charlie would react upon finding that Cody is a Griffin, but depending on how young Cody was. Well actually this was an excuse to draw fluffy Cody hehehe

what are some other nice moments from Rescue bots?

This show is loaded with them!!! :)

Here we go, some nice moments in Rescue Bots!!

I'm going to write this with the assumption that some people reading this may not have ever seen Rescue Bots or might only be somewhat familiar, as I realise the target audience skews much younger than most Transformers media does, so I'm not 100% sure how popular it was outside of that demographic in total.

Off the top of my head:

-There is an in-universe VR game called Element Quest that has a couple really good episodes, the design is cute and there are tons of meme references. Blades, at one point, goes "I used to like video games. Then I took an arrow to the knee." LOL

-I think it's cool how they actually do tie in their continuity with TFP's continuity. For example, "What Rises Above" (RB) canonically comes before "Nemesis Prime" (TFP), and this is directly referenced in the dialogue in TFP when Optimus says that he is late arriving to the base as he was exploring an underground energon deposit-- This is the deposit he explores with the Rescue Bots.

-THERE IS A MUSICAL EPISODE. IT IS EXTREMELY GOOD

-Woodrow Burns, the Chief's brother, is kind of an idiot asshole, although he's not actively malicious. But he is great with the kids and for whatever reason the only thing I can ever remember about this character is when he goes up to Cody after it's been a long time since he saw him last and says "You've grown a whole foot since the last time I saw you-- Now you'll need three socks!" IDK I just think that's a real cute dad joke thing to say to a little kid lol :')

-There is an episode where they explore the local folklore of Griffin Rock, and TL;DR the local lore is that their island is where literal griffins used to nest seasonally. So throughout the episode, there's this kind of vibe of "OK are these electrical magnetic pulses or whatever like a science problem or a magic problem" and it's actually a very cute and fun vibe, especially since Cody is talking about the lore in the first place as part of his work towards a Scouts badge and Blades is very cute in this episode, the bots are all like "okay magic isn't real but uhhh what if magic's real?" for a minute and it's great :')

-Doc Greene/Green creates a ton of fun science devices throughout the show, but the names of some are just so doofy and fun. I love the "Torna-Don't", which is a thing designed to dispel tornados. Of course. lmao

-All the weird small town local events are also very silly and cute, and weirdly realistic for those of us who are familiar with this kind of local event thing, lmao. One of my favourite concepts is one of what seems to be several crawdad-related festivals, in which there is apparently a televised crawdad race. It's a bunch of shrimps put on a tiny racetrack, like Olympic runners. LOL

-At one point, Blurr shows up, and when the Rescue Bots are trying to acclimate him to working with humans, Chase is like "Humans seem to have two genders, which are defined by how many cooties they have." This implies that as far as the Rescue Bots are aware, 1) cooties are real and 2) human gender is defined solely by how many cooties a person has, and not by anything else, thus leaving their understanding of human gender fairly open (and it is also clear they have solely learned about gender from young kids in a small town which is likely why they state there are two genders but then make it clear that gender is a cooties thing and not an inherently physical thing, which makes sense in context and is kind of great because it gives more leeway for gender diversity than I expected) and I love this a lot. What is human gender? Cooties. That's all. So someone with a particularly high number of cooties could be another gender altogether, because why not?

-There is a body swap episode, which treats us to Blades in Dani's body trying on dresses in her room. He picks an orange and white one, which matches his paint job. I also love this a lot.

-Heatwave is gruff as hell especially at the start of the series and constantly starts shit or perpetuates shit with Kade, which is super funny. Just this centuries old Cybertronian fucking with this doofus boy who keeps leaving donuts in his cab. God dammit Kade, lmao.

-There is an episode where Cody is aged up via Science Device, and we get to see an older Cody, who more closely resembles his father than his older brother does. It's cute that he'll look like his dad when he's older. :')

During this episode, he assists in a rescue, and the girl his brother has a crush on tries to hit on him, but he clearly doesn't get what's happening and thinks it's icky because of course he does, he's a kid. I just think this scene is handled well and it's cute that his reaction to being hit on is still "ewww girls" but his brother is still absolutely pissed off about it anyway LMAO like jesus Kade, relax

-Kade's mostly an asshole but he's shown to be a really good rescuer who genuinely cares about people, and he has moments where he really comes through for his family and realises on his own that he should shut up and back down on his bullshit, thus making him a better developed and more realistic asshole brother character than 99% of asshole brother characters in most shows. I think this is pretty solid because it does lead to effective character development here and there, and it makes his positive moments with his family and the bots that much nicer. :)

-Cody is such a good kid. He is often willing to give people or ideas a chance when nobody else will, and even though he's too young to actively participate in most missions, he stays involved by helping at their dispatch centre. He's a smart little dude, who has a lot of heart and a ton of potential. One of the few child characters in anything that I actually like, because I think they write him extremely well: He is young, but he is not stupid. He is not treated like an accessory or like the property of his family, he's his own person with a distinct personality within his family, with a reasonable amount of autonomy. And he's a person who is still learning and has valuable contributions while also needing guidance or support at times. 10/10

-Dani gradually gets better at helping Blades deal with his flight anxiety (and sticks up for him when the others might mock him a little for it), and this is not only inherently very nice and cute, but it also makes a lot of sense as she is a first responder/medic and we see her offer the same reassurances towards the people she helps to rescue.

-The writing for the Burns Family in general is some of the best family group character writing in anything tbh, they handle the family dynamic so well in this show, and it's extra cute as the Rescue Bots all learn a lot from observing how the family takes care of one another and the townspeople they rescue. :')

-Blades has anxiety. I also have anxiety, so I am biased and clearly love this dude, lmao. He's so fucking relatable and even though sometimes the others rip on him, it is clear that they're also very proud of him for trying his best to deal with a situation which for him is particularly difficult (he was forced to take a flight capable alt-mode when this is something he is explicitly not comfortable with) and his team mates do support him, even though Heatwave is a douche sometimes (although it is clear this is usually due to stress or something else and that the actual problem isn't Blades). Over the course of the series, Blades does develop a little more confidence, and it's very cute and nice to see him puffing himself up a little more. :)

-The overall attitudes the bots have towards humans in this show is sweet. It's clear they don't really understand humanity or humans as a whole, but it also doesn't really matter because they are so specifically oriented to their local population on the island and their focus is a relatively small community of humans. They take their duties seriously and will protect this population, even if they don't really understand the people outright. They gradually start to respect the locals (and the Burns Family) more and more as they work with them, and get acclimated to Earth. They love their dumbass weird little humans :')

This leads to a lot of fun shenanigans with the bots not understanding things, or only understanding things as they have been explained by the children, which is hilarious.

-There is an episode where local thieves steal Chase, and inspired by Cody's school drama project, he decides to go undercover after watching a bunch of old detective movies. This includes him narrating things to himself, which he is called on when Dani enters the garage and asks him "Why are the lights off? Are you talking to yourself?" lmao

-Although it isn't explicitly canonical, it's easy to interpret both Chase and Blades as being neurodivergent. Both of them display various behaviours and traits which can potentially be understood in this way, and I'm just glad that there's a show for kids where two of the main characters, who are rescue workers, are shown to be competent and skilled at their jobs and accepted by the community for who they are while also being neurodivergent. <3 It's such a good vibe when the other characters support or defend these two in particular, especially when Chase or Blades might be confused or upset about something. Chief Burns is especially great working with Chase.

-Any episode where Optimus shows up in Rescue Bots usually has some gems of cuteness/silliness. The Elvis line still takes me out, LMAO. "You're bigger than Elvis!" "I have not met this Elvis, and I am unaware of his size." 10/10 writing, I fucking love Rescue Bots

-The bots constantly call out a bunch of details that are entirely appropriate for robots from space to notice and recognise as somewhat weird, whereas a lot of the human characters are so used to 1) being human and 2) living on this incredibly weird little technologically advanced island that nothing really phases them anymore. So we can actually identify more with the bots at time, despite the fact that they are also providing an outsider point of view, which is really clever! :)

-The theme song is a fucking banger. It's so good. I love this song so much. I wish we got a full version of it, but this is the best extended version of it that I've been able to find. Enjoy!!!

-There's a lot of fairly adult stuff in the show, more than I think people realise! The tone can never get too dark outright as it is intended for young kids as the primary demographic, but there's a lot of situations, conversations, etc. that are genuinely engaging and interesting from an adult perspective, which is a large part of what makes it a great watch for all ages.

Some situational examples include scenarios where children are imperilled in natural disasters, accidents, even kidnapping at one point.

Non-kid related situations include risks and threat to civilians from AI development and the dangers that uncontrolled or poorly thought out technology can cause or exacerbate, which is significant in context and also interesting to think about given our current relationship IRL with rapid tech development and concerns around how that technology is being made and applied, either in reality or in theory.

Some dialogue examples include scenes where the bots mention their grief over being unable to save Cybertron, a sense of guilt that they were in stasis for so long even though this was beyond their control, awareness that they may be the last Rescue Bots team in operation on Earth or anywhere else in the universe (a sense of loneliness and a responsibility as the last upholders of their specific creed), struggles with their sense of duty and concerns around their ability to fulfil their expectations for themselves and meet the expectations of others while rising to the demands of their unique situation, and so on.

this is already pretty long lmao, there's a ton of stuff I really like about Rescue Bots, but I hope this might encourage others to check out the show if you haven't before, it's well worth a watch! :)

Partner swap Au thing I made because why not

Chase still with chief because yes

With Gram being with blades I feel like he would open up more and Gram is also shown to have a slight fear of heights in the show

Kade would most likely have a more mature attitude with things and I want Hayley in this Au to have more involvement (they can grow flowers together)

And Dani and Heatwave would be the gossip duo

shit talking about people

(No the bots alt modes are not changed)

Blades: Would you say you’re independent?

Chase: *Looks towards Chief Burns*

Chief Burns: *Nods*

Chase: I would say so, yes.

Listen, Doc Greene definitely knew about the bots the whole time. There is no way he didn't figure it out almost immediately. We didn't get to see his reaction when Chief told him but I'm confident it went something like this

Chief: Doc, nobody is supposed to know this, but with Frankie in danger it's important that you know what's going on. She's in good hands. The bots... aren't really robots. They're aliens. They'll take good care of Frankie and Cody, and get them home safe.

Doc: Oh I know.

Chief: You... do?

Doc: Yes??

Chief: But... how?

Doc: Chief, I build robots. I'm the lead scientist on an island full of advanced tech. I knew within the first week that those weren't robots. And so, the only logical explanation was aliens.

Chief: ...Ah, yes. Logical.

Chief: So... you've known this whole time?

Doc: Naturally.

Chief: But why didn't you say anything?!

Doc: I thought maybe they were self conscious. And besides, they've saved me and Frankie enough times that I'd hate to make them think they weren't doing an adequate job. They really are phenomenal actors. And pulling off all the rescues they do without letting anybody know? Incredible!

Chief:

Doc: Oh and I suspect Frankie knows as well

Chief:

The Burns Family work designs!

Close ups

Some little things that have happened to our family of heros.

First off, Cody became a Game Warden, a type of law enforcement that deals with rules and regulations on game related sport. This includes fishing, hunting, boating, and other outdoor related activities. They work to protect wildlife and the environment that they live in. A lot of Game Wardens themselves love game sports, and with Cody being seen enjoying fishing with Charlie, I felt this was a good choice for him. Heres some more info on Game Wardens if y'all want that. The scar on his cheek comes from when he was training for the job.

Charlie is still on the job, 300 years later. With his body in stasis, and the world constantly changing around them, he decided to not retire and instead take more protective measures for himself. His uniform now consists of armor that helps protect him to keep him around for his kids.

Now Dani, she actually has two prosthetic legs under her uniform, her casual outfit will show that off better. How did she lose her legs? Within Cyberaligned a human war will happen, and she joined the Top Gun academy. This branched off of the plot point in season 4 where she tests new military aircraft. Not to spoil much of this plot, she loses her legs in a crash across seas and is M.I.A. for a while until she returns back to Griffin Rock with a Purple Heart. Her lower jaw was also reconstructed with metal.

Graham received some upgrades to his engineering kit. A heavy duty construction exoskeleton, which also replaced his original tablet. He can do his calibration and calculations on the exoskeleton, which is then able to transmit to Boulder what his plans for a build are.

Kade was badly burned in a terrible fire. As he got everyone out of the building, his old uniform broke after years of not being replaced due to "town funds" issues. The oxygen mask he had on broke, creating a sudden vacuum in the oxygen deprived burning building that led a flame straight to his face. Heatwave was able to get him out from the building, but not before he was burned on his left side of the face, which would later be revealed that he was also legally blind in his left eye.

More of their story will be explored in their character profiles! Their casual clothes will also be revealed then (aka I have not finished those designs yet)

Heatwave is a blubbering mess when he cries. Kade, Chase, Chief, and Mrs Burns, if she's around, are the only 4 who can understand him.

I just had a thought. With all the father figures we (you, me, and others) give Cody in our AUs, I think Charlie might be jealous and worry someone is trying to replace him as Cody's father.

Yes... and no (as my thoughts can't decode)

Let's remember that a lot of time Charlie feels guilty for not spending much time with Cody. He spent most of the day in the office, doing rescue work, or with his older children at work.

If we go by canon Charlie of course would feel worried (and very threatened) that someone, maybe younger, with more experience than him, with a more extravagant or normal life would become the missing time he can't spend with Cody.

Charlie is too old, and Cody was born late. Charlie already spent a lot of time taking care of the other 3 kids who have already grown as well. Who he has to blame for that, no one.

Charlie has an importing work that no one else could/want to replace, he is obligated to stay in that position until his body tells him to stop. And when that happens, Cody will have grown too, maybe have his own children and leave for somewhere else...

I like to hc (if the Burns family if 100% related) is that Cody got that self-doubt from his dad. Like, every one of his kids got a small part of him.

He would probably come to the conclusion or gaslight himself that this is the best way for Cody to not grow alone and without guidance. And come on, is not like Cody will actually leave his side or his family.

Cody also tries hard to spend time with his father. The fact that a bunch of guys he found on his adventures want to adopt them doesn't mean that Cody will accept.

No, the kid already knows where is his home.
