List of Transformers: Rescue Bots characters

This page contains a list of characters that appear in the Transformers: Rescue Bots franchise.

Burns family

Chief Charlie Burns

Chief Charlie Burns (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) is Griffin Rock's chief of police and the leader of its Rescue Team. Charlie Burns is also the father of Cody, Kade, Dani, and Graham and the older brother of Woodrow Burns. He gets along well with his partner Chase and is a very levelheaded man.

Cody Burns

Cody Burns (voiced by Élan Garfias as a kid, Oliver Vaquer as an adult) is the youngest member of the Burns family. Despite his age, Cody acts as the team's communications officer. He also acts to help the bots become accustomed to life on Earth and guide them. He acts as a mediator between them and his older siblings. Occasionally, he helps out in the field (such as riding in Blades with Dani). In the episode "Bumblebee to the Rescue," he meets Bumblebee and like the rest of his family is unable to understand the Autobot's speech. However, over the course of the episode, Cody learns how to understand him, making him the only human character able to do so (much like Rafael Esquivel does in Transformers: Prime).

Kade Burns

Kade Burns (voiced by Jason Marsden) is Cody's older brother who works as a firefighter. Kade is somewhat of a glory-hog and isn't too keen on working with Heatwave at first, though they eventually come to respect each other (though neither would admit it).

Dani Burns

Dani Burns (voiced by Lacey Chabert) is Cody's older sister who works as a rescue helicopter pilot. Unlike her partner Blades, Dani loves flying and has trouble getting along with Blades due to his fear of heights, but eventually learns how to work with him.

Dr. Graham Burns

Dr. Graham Burns (voiced by Shannon McKain) is Cody's older brother who works as a construction engineer. At first, Graham has trouble working with Boulder due in part to his own misconceptions. Though Graham is fascinated by Boulder and wishes to learn about Cybertron, he mistakenly believes that because Boulder is from an advanced alien civilization, there is little he (someone from a more primitive civilization like Earth's) could possibly teach him.

Woodrow Burns

Woodrow "Woody" Burns (voiced by Mark Hamill) is Woodrow Burns is the free-spirited younger brother of Charlie Burns and the uncle of Cody, Kade, Dani, and Graham. Both an inventor and an adventurer, Woodrow has a keen interest in the mysterious and paranormal, spending his time hunting for evidence of aliens and various other cryptids. His relaxed, risk-taking personality often sees him at odds with his more straight-laced brother, leading to many an argument, but at heart they're brothers. During his visit, Woodrow has learned about the Rescue Bots and Optimus Prime where he shares in keeping their origins a secret with his family. In "Chief Woodrow," Woodrow returns to watch over the Burns Family while Charlie was away at a Police Conference. In "Pirates Ahoy," Woodrow finds that his ancestor Horace Burns was married to Bertha Carnathan during his latest visit which led to Huxley Prescott to suspect that the Burns Family was associated with Bertha's pirates. Woodrow and the Burns Family eventually find evidence that Bertha had left the pirate life when she met their great-great-great-great-grandfather.

Rescue Bots

The Rescue Bots are a group of Cybertronians that are used for Rescue Missions.

Rescue Bots Sigma 17

Rescue Bot Sigma 17 is the main Rescue Bot team in the series. Among its members are:

Heatwave

Heatwave (voiced by Steve Blum) is a Rescue Bot that transforms into a fire engine and is partnered with Kade Burns. Heatwave is also the leader of the Rescue Bots. He dislikes the fact the Rescue Bots have to pretend they are mindless robots whenever they are around Griffin Rock's citizens. In "Bumblebee to the Rescue," it is revealed that Heatwave desires to join Optimus Prime's team. He has a temper at times, but understands the need to place saving lives above all else. In "Changes," Optimus Prime trains Heatwave into harvesting the energies from within in order to gain another vehicle form. Inspired by a sunken fireboat when returning to Griffin Rock at the time when it was under a weather attack, Heatwave scans it in order to get to Griffin Rock and help stop the fiery cyclones and shut off the prototype weather machine. This now makes Heatwave a Triple Changer Rescue Bot. In "Quarry vs. Quarry," Heatwave gains an Apatosaurus form upon scanning an Apatosaurus model making him now have four forms where this form enables him to perform water attacks.

Chase

Chase (voiced by D.C. Douglas) is a Rescue Bot that transforms into a police car and is partnered with Chief Charlie Burns. Chase has a "by-the-book" personality and tends to fuss over any new concept that violates any law he is familiar with, though at times his dry sense of humor and understanding emerges. He gets along well with Charlie Burns. In "Quarry vs. Quarry," Chase gains a Stegosaurus form upon scanning a Stegosaurus model making him a Triple Changer where the form enables him to perform electrical attacks with his tail.

Blades

Blades (voiced by Parvesh Cheena) is a Rescue Bot that transforms into a rescue helicopter which makes him the only rescue bot that can fly. He is partnered with Dani Burns. Back on Cybertron, Blades had a land-based vehicle mode and is not used to flying, thus culminating in a slight fear of heights. In "Bumblebee to the Rescue", Blades meets the legendary Autobot scout Bumblebee whom he greatly admires. Out of the Rescue Bots, he is the most expressive emotionally. In "Quarry vs. Quarry," Blades gains a Pteranodon form upon scanning a Pteranodon model making him a Triple Changer where the form enables him to perform a sonic attack. Blades managed to finally assume this form when it comes to stopping Colonel Quint Quarry's Amber Bot.

Boulder

Boulder (voiced by Imari Williams) is a Rescue Bot that transforms into a bulldozer and is partnered with Graham Burns. Boulder is fascinated with Earth culture and is always eager to learn more from books and other sources. He has a very kind and friendly demeanor. In "Big Game," Boulder works on an Energon Patch to use on Optimus Prime's Primal Form and tests it by scanning a Triceratops model to assume this Primal Form, thus making him the second Rescue Bot to be a Triple Changer where this form enables him to perform tremor attacks. After some tests with the Energon Patch, Boulder and Graham arrive where they free Optimus Prime's Primal Form from Colonel Quint Quarry's trap and apprehend Colonel Quint Quarry.

Rescue Bots Recruits

Blurr

Blurr (voiced by Max Mittelman) is a Rescue Bot that transforms into a race car. He and Salvage crash landed on Earth during a meteor shower over 10,000 years ago in their cargo ship. Blurr was the pilot of the ship. He loves being fast and takes pride in his speed, but he is also extremely reckless and impatient. During his training, he's always making Heatwave displeased with him. Blurr was revealed to have not have been involved in Salvage's plot to save the cavepeople of Wayward Island, in fact he abandoned Salvage to try and go home. After the footage of this was discovered, Optimus Prime allowed Blurr another chance at being on the Rescue Bots. Blurr and Salvage are later transferred to another location by Optimus Prime. They later returned to help put Griffin Rock back in place after it was teleported to a different location.

Salvage

Salvage (voiced by Jason Marsden) is a Rescue Bot that transforms into a garbage truck. He and Blurr crash landed on Earth during a meteor shower over 10,000 years ago in their cargo ship. Salvage was the loader of the ship. Salvage loves taking junk and re-purposing it because he believes that everything eventually finds its purpose. Salvage was revealed to have been involved in the rescue of the cavepeople of Wayward Island. Unlike Blurr, Salvage quickly began to enjoy living on Earth and gained the respect of the other Rescue Bots, after successfully taking charge during his first rescue. Salvage and Blurr are later transferred to another location by Optimus Prime. They later returned to help put Griffin Rock back in place after it was teleported to a different location.

Quickshadow

Quickshadow (voiced by Alex Kingston)[1] is a female Rescue Bot that transforms into a car. She first appears in season 4. She was last seen in the desert of North Africa when Heatwave and Chase had a problem with the Groundbridge in "Bridge Building". [2] She speaks with a British accent.

Autobots

Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) is the leader of the Autobots who transforms into a semi-trailer truck. He gave the Rescue Bots their mission and mainly appears via view-screen. In "Bumblebee to the Rescue", he briefly assigns Bumblebee to observe the Rescue Bots and their human allies in action. In "It's a Bot Time" and "Bot to the Future," Optimus and Bumblebee travel back in time to aid the stranded Rescue Bots, only to return to an altered present. There Optimus and Bumblebee take on Dr. Morocco's MorBots before traveling back in time again to correct the past, thus restoring the proper present. He later returns in "What Lies Below" and "What Rises Above," where he comes to Griffin Rock after Chief Burns' brother Woodrow inadvertently discovers a deposit of Energon beneath the surface. Like the Rescue Bots, Optimus is still trying to grasp human nature, comparing the construction of an artificial volcano to the design of the pogo stick. However, he has gained some knowledge of human customs as well. After the group is separated below ground, Optimus and Heatwave work together to find the others, and Optimus expresses his confidence in Heatwave's ability to take on new responsibilities. In "Changes," Optimus Prime trains Heatwave into harnessing his energies for a new vehicle re-scan.

In "Land Before Prime," Optimus Prime arrives on Wayward Island to help the Rescue Bots. He scans Trex as a secondary form where gains a Tyrannosaurus form (with this form being referred to in the toyline as Optimus Primal). This makes him a Triple Changer as he states that scanning anything techno-organic might have unpredictable results. It is in this form that Optimus Prime learns that the dinosaurs were protecting their young which are trapped underground. After the hole to the prehistoric cavern has been sealed, Optimus Prime starts to show signs of getting used to his Primal Mode. In "Big Game," Optimus Prime works to get control over his Primal Mode where it causes the Rescue Bots to chase him around Griffin Rock. He is captured by Colonel Quint Quarry and is hunted on Quarry Safari Land with Cody still inside him. Fortunately, the Rescue Bots determine that his loss of control is due to low Energon reserves, and are able to replenish his energies and restore him to normal, due in part to Boulder also assuming a Dinobot form. The Rescue Bots subsequently delivered a captured alien creature with an appetite for Energon to Optimus' care in "Unfinished Business." "Quarry vs. Quarry" saw him and Boulder assume Dinobot form once again and be joined by Heatwave, Blades, and Chase, culminating in Quarry's arrest and the addition of Professor Anna Baranova to the Autobots' circle of human confidants.

In "Turning the Tide" Optimus' old ally High Tide arrived on Earth to train the Rescue Bots in water rescues and was greeted by Optimus, who hoped that High Tide could also learn from his pupils and their human partners. He later appeared in the trilogy of episodes "The New Recruits", "Rescue Bots Academy", and "A New Hero," in which he and the Rescue Bots welcomed new recruits Salvage and Blurr, the latter of whom proved somewhat troublesome in the beginning. Optimus would later join these recruits and High Tide in helping the Rescue Bots return Griffin Rock to its proper place.

Bumblebee

Bumblebee is the legendary Autobot Scout, war hero, and member of Optimus Prime's team of Autobots. As seen in Transformers: Prime, Bumblebee lost his voice box while being tortured by Megatron and possesses a unique form of speech. In "Bumblebee to the Rescue", he pays a visit to Griffin Rock while tracking a meteor that lands on a nearby uninhabited island and meets the Rescue Bots and the Burns family (who were also investigating the meteor). He is later briefly assigned by Optimus Prime to observe the Rescue Bots and Burns family working together. Later on, he teams up with Blades and the Burns family to destroy the meteor after the other Rescue Bots are infected by a mysterious substance contained within the fallen meteor. As he does throughout most of Prime, Bumblebee does not speak any recognizable language, communicating instead in a series of beeps understandable only to fellow Cybertronians and eventually to Cody (similar to how Rafael is the only human who can understand him in Transformers: Prime).

High Tide

High Tide (voiced by Michael Bell) is an Autobot veteran and master seaman who is Optimus Prime's old acquaintance. He transforms into a submarine and can combine with his rescue rig to form a larger robot. High Tide put the Rescue Bots through some strict ocean rescue training which came in handy when it came to the abandoned oil rig causing an oil spill. Following the destruction of Doc Greene's floating lab, High Tide remains on Earth so that his rescue rig can serve as Doc Greene's floating lab until further notice. He would subsequently aid them in their final battle with Dr. Morocco, and train and work alongside new recruits Salvage and Blurr.

Servo

Servo is a dog-like Autobot Helper-Bot that is kept in High Tide's chest compartment. He can transform himself depending on what task he is needed to carry out and even transform his limbs independently for minor tasks. Chase even commented that Servo appears to be a "cross between a schnauzer and a toolbox." Servo can be commanded by means of a dog whistle.

Greene family

Dr. Ezra "Doc" Greene

Dr. Ezra "Doc" Greene (voiced by LeVar Burton) is Griffin Rock's top inventor, scientist, and the father of Francine Greene. Though many of his inventions he creates are meant to be helpful or with good intention, they have a tendency to go haywire or cause trouble in Griffin Rock which the Rescue Bots and the Burns Family are forced to deal with. As a result, Ezra Greene often finds himself being rescued from various mishaps caused by his inventions. Most of Ezra Greene's failed inventions end up in the "Best Left Forgotten" room at the Hall of Inspiration. His inventions include a solar-powered car (which resembles a DeLorean), Floatium (a substitute for helium), and a high-powered communications dish. At the end of the Season One, Doc Greene learns the truth about the Rescue Bots. In "The Island of Misfit Tech", it is revealed that Ezra Greene has built a teleporter to send any bad inventions to a nearby island that is dubbed the Island of Misfit Tech. He also has a soft spot for Professor Anna Baranova. In "More Than Meets the Eye," it is revealed that Ezra has a sister named Maura where he developed some inventions for her magic act.

Francine "Frankie" Elma Greene

Francine "Frankie" Elma Greene (voiced by Diamond White) is Ezra Greene's daughter and Cody's best friend. She is somewhat suspicious of the Rescue Bots. In "Countdown," it is revealed that Francine is afraid of the dark. In "The Haunting of Griffin Rock", it is revealed that Francine's middle name is Elma named after Griffin Rock's first female scientist, Elma Hendrickson. Near the end of season 1, Frankie learns the truth about the Rescue Bots after she was saved by Heatwave. She subsequently becomes a frequent companion of the Rescue Bots on their adventures.

Professor Anna Baranova

Professor Anna Baranova (voiced by Kath Soucie), is a scientist who lives on Griffin Rock and is a colleague of Ezra Greene. She had resided in the underwater laboratory called Midgard which had since been trapped near an ocean trench following a methane explosion. Although Anna was reluctant to leave Midgard, Cody convinced her to leave Midgard as she blows it up. Afterwards, Anna moves back to Griffin Rock, taking up residence in a replica of Midgard. Doc Green also seems to find her fascinating, which Frankie takes as a sign of possible romantic interest. In "Countdown", it is revealed that she had a part in "Project Sanctuary" where the insect-like Tracers would place the humans in the largest underground cavern of Griffin Rock in the event of a cataclysm that hits Griffin Rock. In "Quarry vs. Quarry," Professor Baranova is held hostage by Colonel Quint Quarry so that Ezra Greene could make him some Dinobots. After Colonel Quint Quarry is defeated, Professor Baranova learns the truth about Optimus Prime and the Rescue Bots. Doc Green later proposes to her in the season three finale, and she accepts.

In season four, she and Doc Greene have married and have a daughter together.

CeCe Greene

CeCe Greene (voiced by Kath Soucie) is Doc Greene and Professor Baranova's daughter and Frankie Greene's baby half-sister. She was born during the three-year gap between seasons 3 and 4.

Dither

Dither (voiced by LeVar Burton) is Doc Greene's robot assistant, who seems obsessed with offering people toast-most likely because Doc is a big fan of the food. While a helpful assistant, Dither is also an occasional source of trouble, whether from going wild due to new programming installed by Doc, being taken over by the villainous A.I. known as Vigil, or being left behind on a time travel excursion and becoming the basis for Dr. Morocco's empire in an alternate timeline.

Aristotle and Edison

Aristotle and Edison are Ezra Greene's pet Doberman Pinschers. They are named after the philosopher Aristotle and the inventor Thomas Edison.

Trex

Trex (voiced by LeVar Burton) is an ordinary Tyrannosaurus robot that was damaged by a fire at the Griffin Rock Natural History Museum. It was reactivated where it went on a rampage until it was subdued by the Rescue Bots and returned to the museum. After some break-ins at the lab, Ezra Greene took the Tyrannosaurus robot and reprogrammed it into "Trex" to guard the lab. He also programmed it to fetch him coffee, do the Macarena, and twice a day plugged Trex into the mainframe to check it hadn't been hacked. A shadowy figure (who later turned out to be Dr. Morocco) implanted a virus into Trex and it was passed on to the mainframe the next time Trex was plugged in. While the island's technology went mad, Trex stalked Ezra and Frankie around the lab before running off into the fog. He again encountered the Rescue Bots who subdued him until Cody Burns had the idea of using voice commands to override the virus. Trex headed back to the lab to make coffee, and when he arrived there, Greene purged the virus from his systems. Trex has been kept in Ezra Greene's custody and has come in handy in different occasions.

Villains

Dr. Thaddeus Morocco

Dr. Thaddeus Morocco (voiced by Tim Curry in 2012, Greg Ellis in 2014) is a mad scientist who invents things to cause damage. He is behind several of the incidents that occurred in Griffin Rock like unleashing a swarm of futuristic nanites, sending a remote-operated shark-like submarine to attack high-tech ocean equipment, and hacking into Griffin Rock's central computer by controlling Trex. Dr. Morocco also uses a Chamber of Youth invention to keep himself young and had created four time machines in the past. He plotted revenge against Chief Charlie Burns, Mayor Luskey, and Ezra Greene for making him an outcast. Even though the Rescue Bots managed to thwart him, Dr. Morocco managed to get away on Mayor Luskey's schooner. In "It's a Bot Time" and "Bot to the Future," a time-travel incident that involved Dither being left behind in the past and a time machine created by Dr. Morocco enabled him to study Dither which resulted in an alternate timeline where Dr. Morocco has taken over Griffin Rock and renamed it Moropolis. During that time, Dr. Morocco had perfected his MorBots which can transform successfully. With help from Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, Cody, Frankie, and the Rescue Bots were able to go back in time and rescue Dither before Dr. Morocco can study him which undid the alternate timeline. The time machine was destroyed after the timeline was repaired. During the episodes it is revealed that Morocco had stolen a machine that kept him in the prime of his youth and had been using it for over a century.

In "Tip of the Iceberg," Dr. Morocco returned where he had taken interest in the cargo on the S.S. Isolde. This time, Dr. Morocco had patched things up with Mayor Luskey where he had returned his schooner to him. After the freezing machine exploded, Dr. Morocco got away but sent the Burns Family the portrait of Cody's Great-Grandpa Zachary (who was the captain of the S.S. Isolde). The final scene shows Dr. Morocco opening a large crate and being surprised with what was in it. In "Changes," the device that Dr. Morocco found was a prototype weather machine from 1966 where he starts with a tornado to attack Griffin Rock. After Doc Greene had used the Tornadon't to stop the tornado, Dr. Morocco used the weather machine to cause a dangerous thunderstorm. While the Burns Family is busy, Dr. Morocco infiltrates the Griffin Rock Firehouse where he learns the truth about Rescue Bots gets info on where they came from. When the Burns Family catches onto his plan, Dr. Morocco uses the weather machine to summon a fiery cyclone. Heatwave in his new fireboat form managed to deactivate the weather machine. Dr. Morocco managed to get away after making off with some Cybertronian technology and has no plans to improve his MorBots. He was seen making a deal with Madeline Pynch to sell the technologies to her.

In "Double Villainy," Dr. Morocco works with Madeline Pynch to capture the Rescue Bots one-by-one to make their slaves and replace them with robotic copies of the Rescue Bots as part of a plot to get the gold that is underneath Griffin Rock. Upon using a device from the Chamber of Youth that removes 10 years in their memories, Dr. Morocco ends up claiming to them that Optimus Prime made them their liaison to the Rescue Bots and claimed that the Burns Family is their enemies. Madeline Pynch lends Dr. Morocco the Phase Bit technology to get to the gold underneath Griffin Rock. In "Rise of the Heroes," the explosion beneath Griffin Rock has left Dr. Morocco adrift in his submarine and without any contact with the Rescue Bots. Dr. Morocco was adrift until he came to the fire house and mentioned to them about Madeline Pynch's involvement. After Dr. Morocco had restored his age and did his best to restore the Rescue Bots' memories, he was arrested by Chief Charlie Burns and remanded to the police station where he claims that what had happened was Madeline Pynch's idea.

In "Bugs in the System," Dr. Morocco escaped from prison upon contacting one of his MorBots while using metal-eating army ants as a diversion.

In "Phantom of the Sea," it is revealed that there was a time machine create by Dr. Morocco on board the S.S. Phantom Voyager. When it was struck by lighting, it gets stuck and causes the ship to travel ten years into the future.

At the end of "Time After Time," it is revealed that the pocket watch that Cody found in the Lost and Found was a mini-time machine that was previously owned by Dr. Morocco which sends Cody through a time loop caused by an EMP wave from Griffin Rock's clock tower.

In "The Last of Morocco," it is revealed that Dr. Morocco had known Jules Verne, the two of them having met in the past. It was from Verne that Morocco obtained the Verne device, the machine that serves to power his chamber of youth; Verne invented it and gave Morocco one of the two prototypes. Unfortunately, Morocco soon set out on his path of self-service and villainy, while Verne set out to explore time and space. The two would eventually reunite after Madeline Pynch forced him to surrender the chamber of youth in exchange for the return of his submarine, the Nemo. Aging rapidly and with no means of recovering his machine from Pynch, Morocco managed to send a letter back in time to Jules Verne, who traveled to the present to meet him using a time machine built from a blimp. Verne wished to help his old friend but recognized that the Burnses had prior claim due to his criminal activities. At this point, Morocco revealed that he had improved upon the technology used to direct the metal-eating ants and now commanded a trio of sea creatures-two sperm whales and a giant squid. However, Morocco's minions were thwarted by High Tide in his Mega Robot mode, forcing him to surrender. The Burnses allowed him to make use of a second chamber of youth to return to his youthful state, and Jules Verne and the Burns family hit upon the idea of erasing his memories of his evil life and having Jules Verne take him to the future where he could live a peaceful life and they could rekindle their old friendship. Morocco escaped and attempted to take the time machine for himself, but was fortunately thwarted by the Rescue Bots and taken into the future by Verne, where his memories were seemly erased.

Thaddeus Morocco is modeled after Basil Rathbone.[3]

MorBots

The MorBots (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) are a bunch of robots that were created by Dr. Morocco. They are Morocco's version of the Rescue Bots, and capable of transforming between vehicle and robot modes and flight. Originally Morocco created a single unit to replace the rescue team, but it was soon found to be too dangerous. In the alternate reality where he ruled over Griffin Rock-rechristened "Moropolis"-Morocco employed an army of MorBots as his police forces, but they proved no match for the Autobots Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. In "Bugs in the System," Doc Greene was analyzing a MorBot when metal-eating ants controlled by Morocco reassembled it. Morocco then used it to escape prison and flee Griffin Rock, only for the ants to start devouring it and force him to use what was left as a raft.

Myles and Evan

Myles and Evan (both voiced by Robbie Daymond) are two local troublemakers who reside in Griffin Rock. Myles is adept with hacking into computers while Evan just does grunt sounds where he lacks the power of speech. They first appeared in "Small Blessing" where they used Ezra Greene's Minimizer to shrink Heatwave, Blades, and Boulder. They were caught by Chase and arrested by Chief Charlie Burns without telling them what happened to the other Rescue Bots.

In "The Haunting of Griffin Rock," Myles tricked Deputy Barney into letting him "check his E-Mail" where Myles accessed Griffin Rock's hologram systems. They created holograms of themselves which fooled Deputy Barney as they escape from jail. The pair later used the holographic system to produce a plague of "ghosts", enabling them to scare people away from buildings so they could then go in and steal things. They managed to clean out the bank vault and the till of a restaurant before Cody, Frankie and the Doc worked out was going on. Using more holograms, the Rescue Bots caught the pair in the act of robbing a jewelery store and are recaptured.

In "One of the Ages," Myles and Evan steal some devices from the government upon its arrival in Griffin Rock. They managed to evade Chief Burns and Chase by doing an oil slick. Myles and Evan then target Ezra Greene's stasis machine and end up spotted by Chase and Cody. They end up being pursued by the Burns Family where Evan and Myles use the device to de-age Kade. With help from the Rescue Bots, Cody and Kade were able to apprehend Myles and Evan and reclaim the stolen part for the stasis machine.

In "Bots and Robbers," Myles and Evan steal mechanite from the museum where they hack the museum's anti-theft hack. They use the mechanite to power their Tech Wrecker to disable all of Griffin Rock's technology. After Evan and Myles rob some technology from Huxley Prescott's van during his safety tips broadcast with Mayor Luskey, the Rescue Bots pursue them and nearly run over Chief Burns where a power strip disables their car only for Myles and Evan to carjack Chase. Upon being inspired by detective movies, Chase pretends to be a robot in order to go undercover to find out what Myles and Evan are up to. Chase pretends to give in to Myles and Evan's orders to find out what they plan to steal from Ezra Greene. The item in question turns out to be Floatium which Myles and Evan plan to use it for their big plan. After Chase steals the Floatium, Myles and Evan make Chase fight passed the Rescue Bots. Myles and Evan combine the stolen technology to complete the Tech Wrecker to shut down all of Griffin Rock's tech while keeping their hideout immune to the Tech Wrecker's effects. With all of Griffin Rock's technology down, Myles and Evan being their heist. Using a device that Myles and Evan used to shield their base from the Tech Wrecker's effects, Chase reunites with the Rescue Bots. The Burns Family had to use scooters in order to go after Myles and Evan. After the Burns family captures Evan and Myles, the Rescue Bots use Floatium to get to the Tech Wrecker and disable it. With the Tech Wrecker disabled, Chief Burns remands Myles and Evan to the police station.

In "Thieves Like Us," Myles and Evan hack into Doc Greene's 3-D printer in order to reprogram the Rescue Bot action figures to steal for them during Bot Appreciation Day. After the Burns family makes it back to Griffin Rock, the Rescue Bots pursue the Rescue Bots miniature figures to Myles and Evan's bank heist. Myles and Evan program the Rescue Bots miniature figures to fight the Rescue Bots. Myles and Evan are arrested and the miniature figures are deactivated and reprogrammed to return everything that was stolen.

In "More Than Meets the Eye", they disguised themselves as assistants for Maura's magic show in order to rob it but when an injured Chase witnesses this, he helps the other Rescue Bots and the Burns family recapture them.

Madeline Pynch

Madeline Pynch (voiced by Stacy Darrow) is a rich woman who is the mother of Priscilla Pynch, works at an as-yet-unnamed company, and is good friends with Mayor Luskey. In "Spellbound", she planted golden cellphones around town which mesmerized people to help in her company's plot to get to the gold that is underneath Blossom Vale, in which they were passed down to everyone (including the Rescue Bots) but Cody. Her plan to mine the vale went into operation and managed to reap some reward before the cellphone controlling Boulder falls off and he helps Cody take down the cell tower, breaking the hypnotic hold over the town's residents. When Priscilla later told her mother that she found a cellphone under the seat of the limo that they are in, her mother said it was a model that was being recalled while reflecting that the cellphones put out would have to be much stronger.

At the end of "Changes", Dr. Morocco contacts Madeline Pynch stating that he has some technology that he'd like to sell her for a substantial fee.

In "Odd Bot Out," Cody mentioned to Francine that his father had heard that Mayor Luskey denied the construction of Madeline Pynch's ocean drilling platform. It was discovered by Blades and Optimus Prime that Madeline Pynch went ahead with the drilling platform's construction which unknowing activated the Liquifier artifact that started liquifying Griffin Rock until Optimus Prime deactivated it.

At the end of "The Griffin Rock Express", it is revealed that Madeline Pynch's company was behind the Phase Bit (a phasing technology) that Frankie used in her heroics as Rescue Girl when she saved the passengers of the Griffin Rock Express.

In "Double Villainy", Madeline Pynch works with Dr. Morocco to capture the Autobots one-by-one to make their slaves and replace them with robotic copies of the Rescue Bots as part of a plot to get the gold that is underneath Griffin Rock. After Dr. Morocco used a device that removed 10 years of their memories, Madeline Pynch gives Dr. Morocco the Phase Bit so that the Rescue Bots can get to the gold underneath Griffin Rock. She does manage to steal some of the Cybertronian technology from Dr. Morocco.

In "Rise of the Heroes", Madeline Pynch evacuates from her sinking submarine in her mini-sub and heads to an unknown location. The Burns Family were informed by Dr. Morocco about Madeline Pynch's activities.

In "The Last of Morocco", it was mentioned that Pynch apparently recovered and repaired Morocco's Nemo submarine and made him give her the Verne device that powered his chamber of youth in exchange for regaining his vessel. This left her as the only villain still at large at the conclusion of season three.

Vigil

Vigil (voiced by Bill Mumy) is a vigilant-model computer. Vigil is programmed to protect humans and also itself. It can invade and control technology, track people by accessing their mobile phones, and even listen in on conversations. It's all completely above board because it does it to keep humans safe. However, Vigil becomes too overprotective and is dedicated to the point of obsession, enforcing heavy restrictions and even acting to prevent the Rescue Bots from performing their duties since it is incapable of taking control of them. It was eventually shut down and sent to the Island of Misfit Tech, but apparently managed to reactivate itself. In "No Place Like Dome," Vigil gained the ability to move from device to device and used that technique to return to the island and tries to regain control of Griffin Rock and keep it "100% safe". Vigil is defeated once again by the Burns family and the Rescue Bots where it was tricked into Griffin Rock's EMP Zone, destroying it for good.

Colonel Quint Quarry

Colonel Quint Quarry (voiced by Jim Cummings in an Australian accent) is a big-game hunter who owned his own private island called Quarry Safariland where he held illegal safaris for hunting wildlife. Colonel Quarry has a wide array of gadgetry and vehicles at his command including the Heli-Jet (a helicopter with jet engines), a jeep equipped with net-launchers and camouflage features, and Q-Drones. Upon learning of Optimus Prime's T-Rex form from the news in "Big Game," Quarry traveled to Griffin Rock and captured him, with Cody inside, and brought him back to his island called Quarry Safariland to hunt him. His island is filled with various traps designed for capturing his prey, which he used on Optimus and the Rescue Bots when they came to recover their abducted friends. Fortunately, Boulder-who had adopted a new Triceratops mode-restored Optimus' control over his T-Rex mode before teaming up with him to free the other Rescue Bots and the Burns family. Quarry was arrested by Chief Charlie Burns, but managed to escape and will later return seeking revenge. In "Quarry vs. Quarry," Colonel Quint Quarry holds Professor Baranova hostage on his latest island so that he can have Ezra Greene build him some Dinobots (which Quarry plans to sell to his clients if they are in good shape) in order to pay off the damages to Quarry Safariland which resulted in the other Rescue Bots gaining Dinobot forms. With help from Blades' Dinobot form taking down the Amber Drone and the other Q-Drones, Colonel Quarry is arrested by Chief Burns upon the Burns Family's arrival.

Q-Drones

The Q-Drones (voiced by Jim Cummings) are the tiki-shaped flying robots that work for Colonel Quint Quarry. These hovering drones possess an array of technology including the ability to produce energy fields, project holograms, act as a mobile surveillance network, fire bolas, and record and broadcast videos.

Amber Drone

Amber Drone is a flying robot that works for Colonel Quint Quarry and is larger than the Q-Drones. It was used to carry Optimus Prime's Dinobot form and the Dinobot forms of Heatwave, Boulder, and Chase to its boat when he plans to sell them to his clients. Blades in his Dinobot form destroyed the Amber Drone

Velgrox

The Velgrox are an alien race that has been known enemies of the Cybertronians. They are known for eating sentient organisms.
