Transformers: Rescue Bots Episode 8 Title and Description "Walk on the Wild Side"

El Duque wrote:In our second piece of cartoon programming news for the evening, MSN have also updated their Transformer: Rescue Bots episode guide to reveal a new title and synopsis. Episode 8 title "Walk on the Wild Side" will air on April 21st.

Boulder decides that the team needs an animal mascot but maybe a zoo isn't the best place to find one.

Hmm, still no sign of the plot arc that was hinted at in episode 6. I really hope this show kicks it up a level since it was off to a very strong start from the get-go.

Thanks to the MSN episode guide for Transformers: Rescue Bots we have the title and description of episode 9, "Christmas in July". This episode is scheduled to air on Saturday April 28th, 2012.

Cody, his family and the Rescue Bots have to stop a snow storm in July when a weather machine goes haywire.

For a second there, I thought this was going to be the third Transformers Christmas episode ever made (Seriously, was was there never a Christmas episode until animated?), but I guess not.

Either way, here's hoping the plot gets going not long after these new episodes start airing.

Also, darn it! I'm gonna miss this one the morning it airs since I'll be at BotCon!

I'm DVRing it all myself, though I can't make it to Botcon.

I can't think of any other TF Christmas eps besides Human Error either, just UK comics. Though thinking back far enough, this one sounds pretty close to the premise of the Punky Brewster cartoon of the same name. No, I'm serious.

And if it turns out the Weather Dominator Pearl of Bahoudin machine was actually sabotaged, that subplot may be rolling again before we know it.

I'm also DVRing it, but I've never missed the day an episode aired.

I hope so, as the previous two episodes don't seem to have anything that ties into the newly-introduced plot (babysitting a robo-baby, and looking for a pet at the zoo).

Courtesyof Zap2it we have the title and description for the May 12th episode of Transformers: Rescue Bots, "Return of the Dinobot".

An intruder hacks into Griffin Rock's central computer and wreaks havoc.

For continuity's sake, this better be referring to the robotic T-Rex from episode 1 and not THE Dinobots from FOC (as they haven't appeared yet and their full return in the present day is better suited to happen in TF: Prime).

Plus, it's only one "Dinobot" instead of "Dinobots". So, I'm hoping that it's referring to that robotic T-Rex.

Though, a hacking intruder, eh? Sounds like sabotage to me. Could this be linked with the mystery surrounding the Nanobots from before?

This week's episode was my favorite next to Flopsters. So freakin' cute and adorable. I hope they bring Robo-baby back!

Courtesy of Zap2it we have the title and description of Transformers: Rescue Bots episode 12, "The Other Doctor". This episode is scheduled to air May 19th, see the brief synopsis below:

A scientist tries to replace the team with a new invention, leaving everyone out of the action.

If Doc Greene is a Doc Brown expy, who do you suppose this rival scientist will be based on (if anyone)?

Well, the title, "The Other Doctor", made me wonder "Who" as well, but I can't see Rescue Bots slipping in any Easter Eggs for Whovians; not that there's no precedent for that, according to David Wise and UK comic continuity.

If he is actually based on someone, I'll be first to guess Arkeville.

Courtesy of Zap2it we have the title and description of Transformers: Rescue Bots episode 13, "The Reign of Morocco". This episode is scheduled to air May 19th, see the brief synopsis below:

Cody looks for proof that the new scientist's invention is really a villainous plan.

Houston, we have a plot!

Also, jusdgin by this title, I'm gonna guess that the new scientist is named something like "Dr. Morocco".

Zap2it has updated with a new title and description for the Hub's Transformers: Rescue Bots. Episode 14, "Small Blessings", is scheduled to air on June 9th.

See the brief synopsis below:

The Rescue Bots are accidentally shrunk and the Burns family must work without their partners.

Looks like they gotta handle emergencies the old-fashioned way... BRUTALLY!!!

Zap2it's Transformers: Rescue Bots episode guide has been updated with the title and description of June 16th's episode, "The Griffin Rock Triangle". See the brief synopsis below:

Cody finds a clue to an old mystery and makes a startling underwater discovery.

A new plot, perhaps? So soon, too.

Meanwhile, as Rescue Bots goes on, Prime goes to hiatus after this next episode.

Zap2it has provided the title an description of the June 23rd episode of Transformers: Rescue Bots:

"Rules and Regulations"

The Rescue Bots disobey the Chief's orders and find themselves in a life-threatening situation.

I can understand Heatwave doing this, but the others too?

Zap2it have posted the title and description of Transformers: Rescue Bots Episode 17, "The Lost Bell". The episode is scheduled to air on June 30th, see the brief synopsis below:

A storm strands Cody on a deserted island where they find a pirate ship that holds the key to a mystery.

Based on this and few episodes leading up to it, this seems to be another story arc involving some sort of nautical based mystery plot.

I think it'd be cool if it centered around another Iacon relic.

Or, hey, what if this island Cody's trapped on turns out to be Tatui, as some of hindsighted foreshadowing put into episode 5.

Man, the more I think about it, Rescue Bots is just leaps and bounds better at storytelling than Prime has ever been. We get a really great two-part beginning that actually feels like a beginning, followed by a small batch of seemingly filler episodes that establish the status quo and flesh out the characters, then comes a multi-episode story arc that culminates in an excellent two-part climax that really sets the bar high, and now we get a second story arc underway shortly after. That is magnificent.

By comparison, it makes watching Prime feel like a chore, since it's story seemed to drag on forever until it finally got to the point of an ongoing story arc in season 2.

I envision it going something like this:

Heatwave- Let's do this! What's the matter are you Cyberchicken?

Blades-I'm no Cyberchicken! I think...

Boulder- Well...it sounds like it might be fun...

Chase- *Watching them leave* Well I guess someone has got to follow along to make sure they don't get into trouble.

cue life threatening disaster.

When are we getting new transformers prime?

Unknown. It's on a hiatus.

I still cant believe adult collectors are actually watching this show. Everytime I think about maybe downloading it just for the hell of it, I get these awful visions in my head. Visions of robots rescuing kittens from trees and teaching high school kids bullying is not cool.

Ever heard of judging a book by its cover? Rescue Bots is all around a really cool, really fun show and I think everybody should give it a fair shot.

No visions of robots fighting robot dinosaurs, floods of molten lava, hurricanes, mass hysteria, wild predatory animals set loose, high-tech nanites that infect and control whatever technology they come in contact with and cause it to go crazy, unstable terra, unnatural weather disasters, a robotic shark armed with lasers and a self-destruct device, a saboteur's virus, an armored assault tank Transformer, and a master manipulator behind a good portion of it all?

You're seriously one of the most seemingly insecure fans I've ever met. If you're still trying to defend your manliness after already making a hobby of collecting children's toys, then I don't know what to tell you.

Ever consider that the reason people are watching this show is because it's as good as they say? That it's not some kiddie show solely geared towards the same age range as its toyline? If this show was seriously about such meager nonsense as "saving kittens" or "education" and such, I probably wouldn't be watching it, much less enjoying it (far moreso than I am Prime, even), as I am now.

Once aging Zap2it brings us the title of an upcoming episode of Transformers: Rescue Bots. The July 7th episode is titled "Bumblebee to the Rescue", but unfortunately no description is available beyond that.

FINALLY! BB's on his way!

I'm betting he'll be like a special guest star for that episode, since he'll have to get back to Team Prime in Jasper, Nevada at some point.

It'll be funny to see how the others react to his beeping speech. I'd crack up at someone like Kade getting so frustrated at trying to understand him. "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!!!"

Here's his character model.

I really hope he's not a permanent member on the show after he appears

automan224 wrote:I really hope he's not a permanent member on the show after he appears

He can't be. He's gotta get back to Team Prime in Nevada. Otherwise, he'd have to permanently leave the Prime cartoon and I don't see that happening.

Not me. The Prime cartoon has been building up some special reason as to why Raf can understand BB. So if they get rid of BB, this subplot will have been all for nothing, thus making Prime feel like another Transformers: Energon.

ugh, you had to mention Energon. Didn't you?

I suppose your right. But then again, I never put to much thought into WHY raf can understand BB, mostly because I don't like humans. What if BB took raf and the supposed story arc with him?

It'd still be a dropped concept in regards to the Prime cartoon. And since Rescue Bots will already be undergoing another overarching plot by the time BB shows up, it'd feel like Raf's subplot would be forced in and out of place in Rescue Bots. Not to mention that Raf would be uprooted from his home and family to go live on the other side of the country for no other reason than to be a plot device in a show that he wasn't a part of in the first place.

It’s not insecurity. Its called street cred. It’s almost like religion in urban areas like Miami. When you live a certain lifestyle, there are some things you just don’t do. Would you call a Muslim insecure because he won’t eat pork? How about calling a Christian insecure because he doesn’t believe in abortion? I believe that “insecurity” is when somebody is afraid to stand up for their beliefs.

Back on topic, I trust your judgment so I will download rescue bots and give them a chance. My concerns were only because of the use of the word “rescue” in the title. It could be compared to the likes of “Rescue Heroes” or “Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers”.

When it came onto Kids WB!, Rescue Heroes was cool, since it made the stakes way higher than those episodes that aired on CBS. I think it was called "Rescue Heroes: GRT" by that point, so maybe it was the non-GRT episodes that weren't as good.

But, yeah, Rescue Bots is greatly scarce in the PSA department. The use of the "Rescue" in the title is due to them being an emergency response team that faces all sorts of crazy disasters and accidents waiting to happen. The whole place is so danger prone that it simply would not survive without these guys coming in to keep it all from falling apart. I'm surprised the town's residents haven't yet packed up and moved away for the sake of their own safety.

Thanks to Zap2it we now have a description for the previously revealed episode of Transformers: Rescue Bots "Bumblebee to the Rescue". The episode is scheduled for July 7th, brief synopsis below:

Bumblebee pays the Rescue Bots a visit just in time to help investigate a mysterious meteor.

While i'm certain Sabreblade will be thrilled, I cant catch up. I need to find a site that has the episodes. So far, no luck.

I haven't been watching Rescue Bots, I watched the first episode and it was cute but definitely aimed at the younger end of the fandom and I just couldnt get into it. However, I think having two TF cartoons running simultaneously geared at two different age groups is a FANTASTIC idea for Transformers, *especially* if they crossover from time to time. It seems like the perfect way to bring over Rescue Bots viewers who are starting to get "too old" for the show. "Too old" for Rescue Bots is a misleading term (I'm all for older fans watching and enjoying Rescue Bots, I'm referring largely to the target audience). The point is that now children are not "too old" for Rescue Bots, they are "old enough" for TF:Prime. Having Bumblebee show up in Rescue Bots, where he will presumably at least mention his life and friends in Nevada will introduce children to the expanded TF universe and lead them straight into being TF:Prime viewers. Especially if Bumblebee shows up on Rescue Bots more than just this once. It introduces children to the idea of a story-within-a-story, Rescue Bots' small town within the larger world seen in TF:Prime. Of course, it also teaches the difference between the battle (Rescue Bots) and the war (TF:Prime).

Also, now we need Rescue Bots characters to cameo on TF:Prime.

This sounds exciting and it MAY help pinpoint how closely tied Prime and Rescue Bots are.
Now why would Bee be in Griffin Rock? One logical answer might be escorting Raf. It is exactly the kind place that would host a science competition/exhibition that Raf would like to be a part of.
I could see Raf rolling into base with Bee. Jumping out and declaring that he had won first prize in the state science quiz/competition/essay contest and he was going to compete in the nationals. And where are they being held? Oh some little town on the East Coast called Griffin Rock. Cue Optimus to raise one optic ridge in surprise.
Pure speculation of course. The producers might not want to tie them too closely at this point.
But I be Raf would get along real good with Cody and Frankie. .....

He could have been sent to help investigate the meteor.

Oh snap! Just thought of something! While I'm not at all expecting this to happen, what if this meteor is related to the Dark Energon asteroid from the upcoming TF: Prime video game, which itself take place during season 2 of Prime?

For those looking for Rescue Bots Eps. I've been posting them over @ TFW2005

Hope you enjoy them.

Yeeessss, this is possible, most distinctly a possibility. However the description makes it sound like he just happened to be there when the meteor strikes. Granted both Prime and RB have shown themselves experts at diverting hints.

Return of the shark sub? Or some other devious contraption by Dr. Morocco, that's my bet.

The nautical mystery has begun.
