rewatching rescue bots as many times as i do really highlights just how much heatwave is right about. like pretty much every episode he either predicts emergencies or is directly involved in how they happen. this guy is some sort of catalyst ok i'm watching "sky forest" rn and the other bots are talking about cody and frankie and heatwave is silent. and then he goes "something just doesn't feel right" and then not even a full minute later things start to go wrong.
this kinda fits into "the rescue bots are Other" but like especially heatwave this stuff applies to. i think he might have a future sight outlier and just doesn't realize it. another big time i remember this happening is when he, chase, cody and frankie went through the groundbridge and it "malfunctioned" (during s4). this was when quickshadow first showed up but it was before they knew it was her, and they saw her in vehicle mode and cody was like "what's a car doing out here?" and heatwave said "we're here aren't we?" and i know it was unintentional but he was literally right. the car was another bot out there for literally the same reason the others were. he predicted it on accident. he was also the one who revealed quickshadow by telling her who they were and to reveal herself. like he's just always correct?

Rescue Bots HCs
Note: been watching rescue bots over the past couple months and thought id get back into writing w some headcanons!
They all love the movie Big Hero Six (all meaning the bots and whole burns family)
Blades 100% has a tumblr acc
And letterboxd (gives VERY thorough reviews)
One time Heatwave and Kade had a competition on who could call each other the stupidest nickname without breaking
Heatwave lost LMAO
Kade's an older brother, he's gonna be the king of stupid nicknames
Boulder loves the Sound of Music film
Him and Blades are the only ones who like musicals
Heatwave and Chase don't hate them, they jst don't rly care for them
Heatwave loves the avengers movies
Chase watches a lot of detective/crime films but he also reads just as many books about them
The Burns family has a bunch of photos of them all together on the fridge
Graham loves sci-fi films
Blades absolutely HATES any movie where a dog dies
If he could he would be sobbing his optics out
Boulder sometimes wishes he were smaller/human so he could volunteer to take care of wild life or just be out in nature without scaring smaller creatures
He also loves the Planet Earth documentaries
Frankie and Cody loooove space documentaries and plan a movie night once in a while with the bots
Dani's always had short hair, long hair just always got in the way

Okay, can we all talk about how Chase is as aggressive as Heatwave or if not more aggressive?
Like yea, Heatwave has anger issues and all that which makes him more firey and willing to fight; but Chase is willing to throw hands at the drop of a hat too!
S01, Ep02
He just throws that landscaper like it's nothing, and proceeded to say "You will not be constipated for any damages."
Like get it Chase, but settle down tad bit.
Like in the next episode his immediately thrown hands again with rocks!
S01, Ep03
Same stance as heatwave! Just a higher fist and more like turned into the punch, he knows how to deck someone if needed!
Also he pulled up so fast in this scene in the same episode he wanted a chase(haha), he was willing and ready to go!
There are so many more scenes of Chase willing to fight anything; if It's deemed a threat his going toe to toe with it.

My drafts were being weird @skatermusic so here we are
Heatwave headcanons
He was lower caste on Cybertron before coming to the Rescue Bots
This mf is shit at reading due to this, but he tries his best to hide it
His formal education is whatever they taught at the academy, and even then due to the age he was when he came in and his graduation year, his education level isn't as high as the others
He is street smart though, and has a basic understanding of things around him. He isn't stupid when you actually look into what he knows
Sometimes doubts his position as leader due to this. Majority of the team leaders have been fire bots, so he sometimes believes that is why he was chosen as Sigma 17's team leader
Doesn't help that their team's graduation was rushed. That part was never really explained to them
Out of all of the Sigma team he is closest to Chase, but isn't Amica level with him (that honor has been given to Blades)
Loves to lie to the humans about basic Cybertronian things. Things from how they sleep, refuel, if they can cry or not, all of that is fair game for him to lie about. Anything that can actually be useful for them to know, such as patching them up, he allows Blades to explain
Speaking of Blades, these two started to rough house more as Blade's confidence grew. The rest of the team likes to watch them wrestle with each other
Literally cannot tell if Quickshadow is either flirting with him or making fun of him. Blades does not make it any easier as well with his input
Blurr gets under his plating but most of that is due to him seeing a younger self in Blurr. He tries his best to guide Blurr away from making the same mistakes as him, but sometimes you just gotta let him learn the hard way
Will never admit it, but loves when Kade insists on them visiting different scenic areas of Griffin Rock. The scenery was one of the small things that made him want to stay
Speaking of these times, he will also never admit that he loves hearing the stories Kade tells him. When he isn't trying to pose up for others, Kade actually makes a good talking partner to the bot.
While he doesn't fully understand the whole Kaiju movie industry, he will admit that watching giant monsters beat the shit out of each other is entertaining. Kade has dragged him off to a Godzilla movie marathon
Cody throws off his guardian coding, especially with all of the danger he gets into
He teaches Cody with his holoform different self defense mechanisms, and sometimes drags Kade in to be the test dummy
Has broken his training dummy so many times that Boulder had refused to fix it for 2 solid months. After that they came to a conclusion to create a metal one
Will allow Chase to infodump about his detective movies and books, but if there were a test at the end, he would fail
Finds metal and punk music to be the most similar human music to his favorite Cybertronian genres of music
Use to follow Megatron's speeches due to his position in the lower caste, but gave up on him after the council meeting and the fall out after that
"Why the frag is half of this island brain dead?"
Has never killed a man or bot, but isn't opposed to it if he weren't a Rescue Bot and was under oath
Is very sassy after the bots are revealed to the community. Has ruined many of Huxley's clips by swearing in English
Swears the most in English, but Blades wins for Cybertronian swearing
Races Hightide in boat mode. Only won once because Hightide took pity
Would gladly fuck up MECH if they met
And those are some Heatwave headcanons! Hope you enjoy
