Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (or simply Rescue Bots Academy) is an animated robot superhero television series on Discovery Family. It is based on toy manufacturer Hasbro's Transformers franchise and a sequel of Transformers: Rescue Bots, sharing the name with the Rescue Bots season three episode called "Rescue Bots Academy". The first two episodes were previewed on December 8, 2018. The series officially premiered on January 5, 2019. The voice cast of Rescue Bots does not reprise their roles, with existing characters being re-cast with voice actors from the same New York-based casting pool as Transformers: Cyberverse.

Premise

School is in session at the Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy, and Griffin Rock’s heroes Heatwave the Fire-Bot, Chase the Police-Bot, Blades the Copter-Bot, and Boulder the Construction-Bot are back and ready to train a new batch of recruits. Just arriving on Earth from their home world of Cybertron, young Cube player Hot Shot, aspiring rescue hero Hoist, the enthusiastic Whirl, Construction-bot Wedge and field medic appropriately named Medix have the honor of being the first class in history to enroll in the Rescue Bots Academy, a highly advanced training facility located at a top-secret base. With encouragement from Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Grimlock, the new recruits learn the power of team building through exciting simulated and real-life rescue missions that highlight the importance of heroism, teamwork, and most importantly, friendship.

Characters

Autobots

Recruits

• Hot Shot (voiced by Pierce Cravens) - a former Cube player recruited by Optimus Prime, who also gives him a Muti-change T-cog that lets him use a different vehicle mode per day. His regular vehicle mode is a red and yellow ATV, while his alternate forms are a red jet plane and a yellow and red hovercraft boat. He later gains a fourth vehicle form in Season 2 by scanning Heatwave’s fire truck mode.
• Whirl (voiced by Courtney Shaw) - an enthusiastic fembot who, like Chase, has studied the rules of being a Rescue bot, and who serves as the team’s optimist and sister figure. She transforms into a blue and light gray police helicopter, and later adopts a blue squad car form during Season 2’s Multi-change story arc.
• Hoist (voiced by Alan Trinca) - an aspiring inventor and mechanic who transforms into a teal green tow truck. In Season 1, he was afraid of dinosaurs until after he met his new mentor, Grimlock, and overcame his fear when a triceratops from Wayward Island broke into the school in the episode “Dino Hard.” During Season 2’s T-cog story arc, he scanned Grimlock to become a Dinobot himself and now has two transformations.
• Medix (voiced by Adam Andrianopoulous) - a Rescue Bots recruit who does not like surprises and works purely with logic. He serves as the team’s intelligence officer on missions and transforms into a white emergency response car with green zaglines and a red light bar mounted on the roof. During Season 2’s T-Cog story arc, he gains a third form of a white rescue helicopter and kinda annoyed Whirl with his preference on aerial tactics.
• Wedge (voiced by Mason Hensley) - a former Decepticon turned aspiring leader and superhero who turns into an orange payloader. He had a rivalry with Hot Shot in Season 1 and shares Blades’ fanboy attitude towards Bumblebee. He even has a collection of trading cards detailing all the major Autobots called “Heroes of Cybertron.” His Decepticon past is revealed in the Season 2 episode “More than Meets the Eye” when the team confronts Lazerbeak and that he was born before the end of the Great War. Like Hot Shot, Optimus Prime believed he had potential and recruited him. He later gains a second sports car mode in homage to his idol, Bumblebee.
• Brushfire (Bimini Wright) - a new arrival on Earth stationed in Australia who transforms into an orange half-track ATV. She previously appeared exclusively in the toy line, and will make her onscreen debut in Season 2’s 31st episode “Brushfire” where she meets and befriends Whirl during their training together. It is hinted she’s the aligned continuity (and the franchise’s)’s first bisexual Transformer, as she seems to flirt with Whirl and Hot Shot on a small level.

Rescue Bots

• Blades (voiced by Michael Hansen) - a perky Rescue bot who turns into a rotund orange and white rescue helicopter and is one of Whirl’s favourite teachers. In the original series, he also transformed into a white and orange pterodactyl.
• Heatwave (voiced by Paul Guyet) - Leader of Rescue Force Sigma-17 and the academy’s chief instructor. He transforms into a red fire engine with an extending ladder, a red fire boat, and a brontosaurus due to the events of the Transformers: Rescue Bots original cartoon.
• Chase (voiced by Frank Cwiklik) - Second in command for the Rescue Bots, Chase is a by-the-books police officer and one of Whirl’s favourite teachers. He transforms into a dark blue and white police car, as well as a robotic stegosaurus due to the events of the original series.
• Boulder (voiced by Keyon Williams) - A gentle giant who serves as the bulk and science officer of Rescue Force Sigma-17. He serves as the trainees’ teacher on Earth studies and transforms into a green bulldozer in addition to his robotic triceratops form from the original show’s third season.

Dinobots

• Grimlock (voiced by Terrence Flint) - portrayed as a hybrid of his Fall of Cybertron and RID 2015 selves, Grimlock is an old friend of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee who serves as the bots’ gym and field operations coach. He later becomes a peer mentor to Hoist and helps him overcome his fear of dinosaurs. He transforms into a mechanical T-Rex and still has his cat phobia from Transformers: Robots in Disguise.
• Sludge (voiced by Billy Bob Thompson) - a Dinobot science officer who transforms into a metallic apatosaurus with red and silver body Armor. He has not been seen since the Transformers Prime tie-in comics, Rage of the Dinobots, and Transformers Beast Hunters issues 1-8.
• Snarl (voiced by Mark Ashton) - the Dinobots’ tactical officer and one of Grimlock’s old war friends who tends to be grouchy. He transforms into a mechanical stegosaurus with red spinal plates.

Others

• Optimus Prime (voiced by Hiro Diaz in the series pilot, and Jake Tillman) - the benevolent leader of the Autobots who turns into a semi-trailer truck cab.
• Bumblebee (voiced by Jeremy Levy) - a member of Optimus Prime’s team who transforms into a yellow muscle car with black racing stripes, and Grimlock’s former commanding officer from Team Bee.
• Rachet (voiced by Todd Perimutter) - Optimus Prime’s friend and chief medical officer who transforms into a white Ford ambulance. He is later revealed to be Medix’s uncle and one of the academy’s guest lecturers.
• Perceptor (voiced by Jeremy Levy) - An Autobot science and intelligence officer who served alongside Optimus during the Great War for Cybertron. He transforms into a red science expedition vehicle and can downsize himself into a microscope that can be used by other Transformers. In his debut episode, Bumblebee convinces Perceptor to join the Academy as it’s math and science professor.
• Scorch (voiced by Adam Andrianopoulous) - Hot Shot’s old friend and leader of the Cyberblazers Cube team.
• Mach - a Cube player who turns into a sports car.
• Glow - a fembot Cube player who resembles the Decepticon Glowstrike from 2015’s Robots in Disguise spinoff to Transformers Prime. She seems to turn into a red motorcycle.
• Lazerbeak - Soundwave’s former helper and a retired Decepticon, Lazerbeak was found injured by the Rescue Bots in “More than Meets the Eye” when his shuttle was damaged and Hoist retrieved his cassette form before waking him up. After Wedge got rid of their prejudice, the Bots took him back to the academy to heal the wound on his left wing and he became a neural Transformer in protective asylum.

Humans

• Cody Burns (voiced by Andy Zou) - the first kid who befriended Heatwave’s team in the original series, and the youngest member of the Burns Family Emergency Response team, Cody is now 16 years old, (as the show begins roughly two years after the last seasons of Rescue Bots and Robots in Disguise), and helps Heatwave teach the recruits whenever he’s not too busy.
• Wes (voiced by Xander Crowell) - a member of Cody’s Teen Pioneer troupe who’s a fan of the Rescue Bots and idolizes Wedge.
• Francine Greene (voiced by Kaitlin Becker) - Cody’s best friend since childhood and the second youth to learn the Autobots’ true nature in the original series, Frankie is the eldest child of Griffin Rock’s resident genius scientist, Dr. Ezra Greene, and is a science prodigy. She and Doc make their first reappearance in the Season 2 episode “Partners.”
