Transformers: Rescue Bots or simply Rescue Bots is a toyline and television series based on toy manufacturer Hasbro's Transformers. Rescue Bots is the successor of Transformers: Robot Heroes, and is based on the same concept as the Marvel Super Hero Squad franchise, and Hero On-The-Go, Rescue Bots mainly focus on educating children regarding hazards and safety.
The group of Autobots who take part in Rescue Bots are Chase, Heatwave, Blades and Boulder, with the exception of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee in the TV series.[1]
Relating to other Transformers series/continuities Rescue Bots features human Autobot allies. The toy line's roaster of allies differs from the TV series containing: Chief Charlie Burns (Optimus Prime's partner), Cody Burns (Heatwave's partner), Axel Frazier (Bumblebee's partner), Billy Blastoff (Chase's partner), Sawyer Storm (Blades's partner), and Walker Cleveland (Boulder's partner). A dog named Sparkplug (a homage to both Transformers: Generation 1 and Transformers Animated) is also featured as a member of the team.
The TV series features Chief Charlie Burns (Chase's partner), Cody Burns, Dani Burns (Blades's partner), Kade Burns (Heatwave's partner), and Graham Burns (Boulder's partner), as well as Doc Greene and Francine Greene as supporting characters.[2]
