Transformers: Rescue Bots (2011) s03e21 Episode Script
Rescue Bots Academy
Second level secure.
Salvage, Blurr, come help with the next platform.
That cable's gonna break! Rescue Bots, leap to the rescue.
Salvage, Blurr, help us.
Help.
Blurr, where are you? Blurr, get down here! A routine patrol With four Bots in stasis Years later awoke In the strangest of places Earth was their home now And in addition Optimus Prime Gave them this mission Learn from the humans Serve and protect Live in their world Earn their respect A family of heroes Will be your allies To others remain Robots in disguise Rescue Bots Roll to the rescue Humans in need Heroes indeed Rescue Bots Roll to the rescue Rescue Bots Blurr, get down here! Stop VR.
We've been using this virtual training program all week.
And you haven't gotten one rescue right yet.
We did throw 'em a bit of a curveball that time.
Though, in context, a falling platform was not entirely unexpected.
You just stood there.
Why did you freeze? The tactical choice.
Somebody had to be free to handle things if the rescue went wrong.
Which it did.
Actually, not a bad answer.
It wouldn't have gone wrong if you'd have helped.
Okay, bad answer.
It's called teamwork for a reason.
That's it.
No more Rescue Force training for you till further notice.
Oh, come on, Captain.
It's just a simulator.
I'll be there when it really counts.
Sorry to let you down, Optimus.
I tried giving this guy a second chance, but it's just not working.
I await your instructions.
Heatwave out.
Maybe Blurr just needs more time.
Time is not the problem.
Just ask them.
Ask us what? About training Blurr and Salvage.
Salvage seems an ideal student.
Blurr's more like the kid you wish would get transferred to another class.
Or his dad would get a new job and they'd have to move.
Or a meteor would hit the school and That's it.
The job, or the meteor? Other classes.
Instead of VR training, you guys could split up and teach them different things separately.
Like a Rescue Bots Academy.
I could provide them with reading material and in-house task assignments.
I think you mean homework, Chase.
I know.
Videos.
It's the best way to learn.
Yeah, not so sure about that.
Look at all I've learned from television.
We could show them examples of rescues we've made, experiences we've had.
Good idea, Blades.
I have already catalogued video of all our rescues from security camera footage.
It would make excellent teaching material.
I better start putting my highlight reel together.
Welcome to Rescue Bots Academy.
Do I need to be here? I gotta get my laps in.
But it's also important to study, especially if you're going to be a Rescue Bot.
My video database can be sorted alphabetically, chronologically, by risk level, or, my favorite, by category.
- Impressive.
- Thank you.
I recommend you take notes, as there will be a quiz.
Now, let's spin the category wheel.
Ah, environmental emergencies.
Which we seem to have a disproportionate share of on this island.
We have a situation on Main and Park.
Sewer's overflowing.
With lava.
When we're directly above it, the Torna-don't.
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot! Which brings us to another Earth animals.
The relationship between humans and other species can cause a variety of mishaps.
Look out! Hiya! Heading down to the clock dedica-aation! Whoa! Ugh, hate to break it to you, Chase, but that air freshener? So not cutting it.
Curse you, Mr.
Pettypaws.
Whoa! Yee-haw! What kind of animal is that? My mistake.
A mechanical bull, which should be categorized under Tech Gone Wrong.
Not wrong, Chase.
We just haven't found the right use for it yet.
I'm with you there.
Everything finds its purpose, right? Perhaps.
Perhaps not.
What is this thing, anyway? A small tube that Chase, behind you! You are hindering an officer of the law Ah, yes.
The Red Zone.
An important part of Earth technology.
Briefly, the lesson is: Always avoid it.
Don't leave it at that level for very long, or the system will overload.
You'll want to avoid raising the power into the red zone too often, or you could overload the badge.
Uh, Dad, what's wrong with my badge? Must be overloaded.
Aah! Do we need to evacuate the town? We're losing Cody and Blades.
Run for cover! Optimus, no! And there you have it.
Please use a No.
2 pencil only.
Points will be taken off for sloppiness.
Chase, I have to take this test too? Refresher courses are never a waste of time.
Emergency call just came in.
Thank goodness.
There's a window washer stuck on his hover platform downtown.
Oh, exciting stuff.
Boulder, you and Blades take 'em.
Chase, Chief wants you and me to stay here on call.
You Bots want to ride along? That's not gonna happen.
Just bring the guy down, right? How hard can it be? No harder than unloading a platform from a helicopter.
It was a simulation.
Give them a chance, Heatwave.
They've have been studying.
Right, guys? And we'll keep an eye on 'em.
All right.
But I'll be watching.
Going up.
Secure all safety harnesses.
Going up.
Secure all safety harnesses.
Going up.
- Secure all safety harnesses.
- Get you down in a sec! Going up.
Secure all safety harnesses.
Ah, should've brought Heatwave's ladder.
I can make you one.
Need a couple minutes.
You guys are way overthinking this.
No! Whoa! Aah! Dr.
McSwain's just around the corner.
We'll take care of him.
What? We're supposed to consider people's safety first.
Everybody else was standing around yakking.
I took action.
Isn't that what we're supposed to do? Going up.
Going up.
Going Never know.
Might come in handy.
Blurr, you put one of my citizens in harm's way.
It won't happen again, Chief.
I'll make sure.
Why do we even bother? All humans do is get into trouble.
You think Optimus just chose this planet randomly? We're here for a reason.
Autobots and humans share a common destiny, and have for centuries.
We should know that better than anybody.
Maybe if you learned more about humans, you'd like them better.
They're actually pretty fascinating.
I'll tell you one thing.
You couldn't ask for better partners than the Burns Family.
They're as loyal as any Bots I've ever known.
Filed under T for "Teamwork.
" I'll understand if you don't want to be part of this mission.
It's dangerous, and Griffin Rock isn't your home.
Wherever there is an emergency, there are Rescue Bots ready to serve, save, and protect.
We didn't have the chance to save our home.
We won't let you lose yours.
The lava's moving too fast.
Good a place as any to hold our ground.
I can't see.
Aah! I'll guide you.
You're right-side up.
Just take us as high as you can.
It's okay if you go slow.
Here goes nothing.
We saved everyone.
This is high-five time.
No one? All right, I have a question.
Dani.
She's different from the others.
Yes.
Humans come in subsets of male and female, each having its own variety of what Cody and Frankie refer to as "cooties.
" But only the males can have the thing above their lip, right? Ah, yes, the mustache.
It appears to be a point of pride with some people, like Chief.
We don't know exactly how it works, but somehow it seems to make him more huggable.
Oh, I'm so glad you're okay.
The Burnses, in general, are an affectionate family.
Not gonna make this a habit or nothing, but give me a hug.
It's okay, you don't have to Okay.
Although human affection is sometimes expressed in other ways.
This gesture appears to be universal in sibling relations.
Now that I get.
It's true, humans do get into a lot of trouble.
But that's one of the reasons we're here.
Has anybody else ever noticed how Cody seems to attract falling objects? Noticed and catalogued.
The roof's about to collapse.
All right, I get it, you've all become friends.
But I still think, for the most part, humans are just silly.
Okay, I'm gonna shoot over the hoop, bounce it off Blades' canopy, and back into the basket.
Yeah, right.
Those physics aren't possible.
Can't you use Chase's windshield? If Dani says she can do it She didn't do it.
- Physics wins.
- Oh, Blades, you flinched.
You be the backboard.
Blurr? What do you call that game anyway? Burns Ball.
Our family just kind of made it up.
Well, the Bots helped.
Uh, you wanna play? I'm good here, thanks.
You know, Heatwave was like that when he first came to Griffin Rock.
All he wanted was for Optimus to reassign him.
Hothead.
Really.
So why'd he stay? He got to know everybody, and kind of became part of the family.
I'm more of a go-it-alone kind of Bot, kid.
Not too great at this teamwork stuff.
Okay, but I'm not giving up on you.
Someday, when the time comes, I know you'll do the right thing.
Humans.
Silly and stubborn.
Ha! Figured I'd find you here.
Scrap surfing as usual.
Well, need an audio output to finish a repurposing project.
Red buttons, or yellow? Now you've made yourself right at home here, haven't you? Scrapyard's nice.
And the other Bots.
Even the humans.
Everything and everybody seems to have a place.
Not quite everybody.
Figures.
You're not thinking about leaving, are you? Me? Nah.
Be nice to take a break, though.
Ever been to Velocitron? Nice planet.
All roads, no speed limits.
Great spot to relax.
Hm.
Sounds boring.
You gonna pick those up? I gotta go unwind.
Okay, Graham.
Should be ready.
The voice chip from the window-washer platform was just what we needed to finish this upgrade.
We call it the Empathically Reactive Voice-Interactive System.
Or for short, ERVIS.
My name is ERVIS.
Please let me assist you.
Not crazy about that voice, though.
How about this one? How can I help y'all, sweetheart? No, thanks.
Nah.
Hi.
I like you.
Do you like me? Ew.
Sounds pretty needy.
Did I program that? Hello.
What can I do for you? Nice.
I like it.
Team, we just got a call about a race car running red lights in town.
Is Blurr with you guys? No.
I can't believe it.
He's going around without a driver? And violating traffic laws.
Hey! What? Whoa, Horace Burns down.
Team, take care of the statue and Blurr.
I'll talk to Jerry.
Uh, Chief, nobody's at the wheel.
It's Doc Greene's new experiment.
A self-driving car that makes racing safer.
I think it still needs some work.
I'll tell Doc you said so.
I've never seen Heatwave so mad.
Not even Kade upsets him like that.
Hey! You gonna put me down? No talking.
No transforming.
Drive slow.
Firehouse.
Now.
It was one little accident.
Two.
First the window washer, now you put us all in danger by nearly blowing our cover.
Well, I wouldn't have crashed if you'd just let me No more excuses.
You're the one responsible for your actions.
Until you get that through your thick metal head, you stay at the firehouse.
Got it? Oh, confinement.
Really? Taking the easy way out, aren't ya? Believe me, nothing about you is easy.
Thanks for your support, everybody.
Good, you're back.
I put in that laser component on the Sigma.
We'll take a look.
This has been here the whole time? Here you are! Um, I heard about you not being able to leave the firehouse.
But that's perfect, because I just finished my training video! Look, Blades, now's not the best time to What else do you have to do? Come on, everybody.
Rescue Bots Academy is back in session.
I-I think I'll sit this one out.
Okay, everybody get comfortable.
We ready? 'Cause this is epic.
- Just get this over with.
- Hit it, Blades.
Blades, I cannot help but notice that all of these examples are focused on you.
Well, yeah.
How else are they going to learn to do air rescues? But neither Blurr nor Salvage can fly.
I could probably rig up one of those scoop attachments.
Shh.
This is my favorite part.
With a slo-mo replay.
With a slo-mo replay.
Well, since you asked.
Spin! Hard! Whoo-hoo! I'm still waiting to hear from Optimus.
But as soon as I do It's your team, Heatwave.
Your decision.
And I've made it.
Blurr has to go.
What do you know? We do agree on something.
Blurr? Where'd he go? Blurr, wait! Whoa! This is not good.
Salvage, Blurr, come help with the next platform.
That cable's gonna break! Rescue Bots, leap to the rescue.
Salvage, Blurr, help us.
Help.
Blurr, where are you? Blurr, get down here! A routine patrol With four Bots in stasis Years later awoke In the strangest of places Earth was their home now And in addition Optimus Prime Gave them this mission Learn from the humans Serve and protect Live in their world Earn their respect A family of heroes Will be your allies To others remain Robots in disguise Rescue Bots Roll to the rescue Humans in need Heroes indeed Rescue Bots Roll to the rescue Rescue Bots Blurr, get down here!
