Bitches love Rescue Bots

Someone asked me to draw Cody in a new outfit and his family’s reaction to him wearing something other than the same jacket, T-shirt, and jeans he wears through each season.

[cybertron-after-dark]

We were robbed of a Rescue Bots episode where chief Burns, doc Greene and Optimus hang out and do middle aged dad things.

[gelu-the-babosa-multiversal]

Finding that your child is a magical creature can mean: you accept it, or you hate it...

I show you how Charlie would react upon finding that Cody is a Griffin, but depending on how young Cody was. Well actually this was an excuse to draw fluffy Cody hehehe

[mistermissmissgendered]

Hey, for those of you who are having a rough day...

Have a random Rescue Bots headcannon!

Headcannon: Cody as a baby has tried to eat his father's moustache at least once.

[mistermissmisgendered2nd]

Can we talk more about the last two episodes of season 1 of Transformers Rescue Bots?

I feel like we don't talk enough about Moropolis. Or the parallels of the Burns family. Honestly, my mind is still caught up on Dr. Morocco implying that he wanted to kill Cody and Frankie.

[monocle-teacup]

Love how Chief Burns' reaction to this is essentially:

"Fuck this, I'm going back to sleep."

[radicalellska]

[enigmatist17]

I have a version of this that is, of course, depressing, and decided to have another that's happier after watching some rescue bots last night with some friends :)

---

Chase was quite excited to be back in Griffon Rock, for all the fun he had had with Chief Burns on the mainland. The Chief had been a host at a safety and law enforcement conference, and with some well-placed cameras, Chase was able to attend most of the lectures while parked either outside or on display. He couldn't wait to review his carefully logged notes and other information Charlie had been kind enough to grab for him, and maybe even put on one of his favorite detective movies for the perfect background noise. He was quite sore after remaining in his alt mode for nearly a week and a half straight, and Charlie was just as exhausted, not even keeping up the pretense that he was awake as Chase slowly made his way to the firehouse with his partner fast asleep.

"Chase to Kade. The Chief and I will be arriving soon, but he's fallen asleep. May I request your assistance in helping him into your home?"

"Sure thing bud! See ya soon!" The comm cut out, and Chase wondered why the usually ornery Burns was so cheerful, but figured he would find out eventually through Heatwave. Kade and Dani were waiting for the patrol car when he arrived a few minutes later, Chase popping open his driver's side door while turning on his interior light, the older man grumbling something at the intrusion of his nap.

"Chief Burns, we have arrived home. You may find your berth far more suitable than my interior seating." To most, Chase sounded like his semi-monotone self, but Charlie could hear the slight fondness in Chase's voice as he patted the dashboard before getting out with a yawn.

"Thanks, partner, I'd have slept at the docks if it wasn't for you." Dani headed over to her father as Kade cleared out his bags from Chase's trunk, both clearly pleased at having their father home. "You get your rest, too."

"Copy that." Chase transformed as Dani helped Charlie up and into the upper part of the home, raising an optic ridge at the grin on Kade's face when he paused at the top of the stairs. "Yes?"

"Just a heads up, you've got some visitors downstairs. Night!" With that, he scurried up and into the house, leaving Chase further confused as he headed for the elevator controls.

How strange, no one had alerted Chase that Optimus or any of the others were coming for a visit.

He internally shrugged as he descended into the bunker, a soft smile gracing his derma at the sound of Blades bickering over the remote with what had to be Heatwave, the familiarity already settling his weary spark. The sight to greet his optics when he turned the corner, however, had Chase freeze in place, his processor trying to understand what it was he was seeing, exactly.

"Chase, you're home!" Blades jumping up off the couch wasn't unusual, the helicopter bouncing in place with sheer excitement. "We weren't expecting you until the morning!"

"Blades, give him some space buddy." Boulder had been in his usual painting corner when Chase arrived, again not an unusual sight, though looking very happy for the enforcer as he tugged Blades away from the center of the room. "Welcome home Chase, I would have given you a heads up, but..."

"We kinda gave 'em all a surprise." A bot that had been perched on the couch next to Blades stood with a lax salute, the smile on their face plate forced as much as it was genuine, ocean blue optics scanning Chase as they moved closer. "You look good, little brother."

"I - I don't...Bluestreak?" His processor recoiled at the name as he reached out with one hand, not a single memory file explaining what he was supposed to do at this very moment. By Primus, as always, Bluestreak was somehow still able to read his very thoughts, placing their servos together palm to palm with a gentle brush of his EMF field.

"Cycle in, cycle out, we don't need a tac net crash." Bluestreak hummed, remaining perfectly still when he felt the first hesitant tug on his spark, one that he thought would remain cold and cut off for the rest of his life. He responded with a feeling of affection and love, the two other parts of his spark responding at the sudden flood of emotion as Chase stared at his brother, following his instructions as Boulder moved closer with a brush of his own field to calm the other.

"Where...Where is Heatwave?" Chase's voice is laced with static when he finally responds, looking between Boulder and Bluestreak as he lowers his servo.

"He's out with Smokescreen and Prowl, they wanted to see the island for themselves. Well, that an' Prowl didn't want to wait for your assessments, impatient aft." It was a good thing Boulder had moved closer, Chase felt like the world had tilted at the two other names he never expected to hear again, the green servo on his shoulder keeping him upright.

"Alright, time to get you seated before we're picking you up off the floor. Bluestreak, go get some energon from the comm room I showed you, Boulder could you go and get Cody? I know he's watching us, and I think Chase could use the company." Blades shooed the Praxian away with a click, gently grasping Chase's arm and guiding him to the couch. "How's the processor?"

"I do not know." Blades didn't look happy with the answer, but smiled as he fished out his scanner from one of his subspace pockets, doing a once over just to ease his own processor. Bluestreak was pressing a small container of energon into his servos just as Boulders returned with Cody, the small human placed on Chase's shoulder by the construction bot.

"Hi Chase." Cody was a bit tired with how late it was, but neither he nor his siblings were able to sleep tonight, having been watching the bunker cameras from the living room. His father had been filled in and had gone to call Heatwave when Boulder came for him, and despite the curious look from Bluestreak, Cody was more than happy to sit with his friend. "How was the ship ride from the mainland?"

"It was a pleasant journey." Chase sipped the fresh energon as Cody dangled his legs over the edge of Chase's shoulder, his free servo patting them with his usual care. "How was your science demonstration?"

"The science fair? It was fun! I got third place, but I'll have to wait for a new award ribbon, someone's experiment exploded and destroyed the judging table." Cody chuckled at the memory, Chase eyeing him with slight concern. "Everyone was okay, and no structural damage either! Kinda wish it did cause some, I still had P.E the next day."

"And yet you survived." Cody smiled at the ghost of a smile that crossed the bots face, looking toward the tunnel that the Burns' used when the sound of three vehicles approaching filled the air. Heatwave was the first one through the opening, the rescue bot leader transforming with his usual grace as the two bots behind him entered moments later, transforming as Chase set his unfinished energon aside.

"Good to see you, Chase." Heatwave only nodded at his second before taking Cody from his shoulder and moving him to the table, stepping back as the enforcer got up and onto his pedes. "Rescue Bots, time to go topside." No one spoke as the small team headed to the elevator, the room silent for a moment before one of the other bots couldn't contain their excitement any longer.

"CHASE!" The rescue bot grunted when the slightly shorter of the two bots in front of him launched forward with a happy cry, hugging Chase as tight as they could. "You're alive! Oh thank Primus you're alive!"

"Smokescreen..." Chase finally understood what humans meant by feeling dizzy from a varying range of emotions, cycling air through his vents in an attempt to cool his processor. It's the steadying servo on his shoulder that sends Chase to his knees, a series of pained clicks and chirps escaping his vocalizer as the eldest bot in the room knelt down, taking Chase's trembling servos into his own. Cody watched the older bot click at Chase in a tone that reminded him of Dad trying to calm him or his siblings whenever they got hurt, the EMF field that practically filled the room radiating so much love that Cody could feel it, limited as it was to a human. It seemed to help his friend, the weird rattling that Cody had only heard when Chase's tac net unit (something that none of the bots ever explained, and he could understand that) was overwhelmed fading away as he listened to Prowl, and despite the heartwarming scene, a question burst from his lips before Cody could stop himself.

"Are you Chase's dad?" Four sets of optics flicker over to the tiny human on the table, and he only ducks his head with an embarrassed smile. "Um, sorry."

"It is alright, you are merely curious." Bluestreak moved to take Prowl's place at the flick of the older bots' doorwing, the black and white Hellcat crossing the room and kneeling down to Cody's level. "I am not, although I had to take on the task of his and Smokescreen's upbringing when our sire...left."

"Oh, that must have been a lot of work!" Cody missed the look shared between Prowl and Bluestreak, Smokescreen visibly wincing as Chase just stared at the floor. "Were you all Rescue Bots before your um, War?"

"No, I was an Enforcer, effectively a police officer of our city Praxus." Cody straightened a little as he listened, noting how Chase finally relaxed when Smokescreen whispered something in their lyrical Cybertronian speech with a smile. "Bluestreak was something akin to a gardener, but I do not have the proper reference to fully explain his occupation."

"A gardener?" The tiny human looked over at Bluestreak, who couldn't help the soft chirp that escaped his vocalizer at how cute he was.

"More a mix of a gardener, singer, and a nurse. Praxus was home to special floating crystals, which were carefully harvested to help in the medical field, and could only be tended to by very specific bots. I happened to be one of those bots." His tank churned at the memory of seeing those beautiful crystals shattering in the bombing of Praxus, but Chase didn't need to feel that across their bond, so he shoved the files deep into his processor. "It was calming work."

"That sounds really cool." Cody smiled, looking over when Chase nudged his brothers, the three getting up off the floor in a tangle of limbs, not wanting to be separated longer than necessary. "You feeling better?"

"As much as I can for the moment, but your concern is appreciated Cody, thank you." Chase dipped his helm at the youngest Burns before regrettably extracting himself from the tight holds on him. "You are up well past your recharge cycle, you should go and rest."

"You sure?" Prowl moved to the side as his second to youngest brother walked over, the human jumping onto his offered palm with no resistance.

"I will be fine, I promise." The smile that crossed Chase's face did much to ease Cody's worry, his field draping around the young human as he carried him to the elevator. "I will see you after school tomorrow."

"Okay, goodnight Chase." Cody hugged one of his digits before hopping off onto the platform, waving behind the Rescue Bot. "You too, Smokescreen, Bluestreak, and Prowl!"

"Night lil' human!" Bluestreak waved, amused at the slight tilt of Prowl's helm as he watched the human be carried up and out of sight by the platform. "He's so cute."

"Cody Burns is an extraordinary human, especially for one of his age." The rescuer turned to face his family, still partially wondering if this was all some sort of sick mirage summoned by his processor. "How did you find me?"

"Optimus Prime cannot hide a secret from me." Prowl replied in amusement, holding out a servo that Chase took with a soft rumble of his engine. "I only arrived with a small group of fellow Autobots four jours ago, so many of us are still adjusting to this...strange planet."

"Earth is indeed strange, but I have come to enjoy it since our arrival here." Chase squeezed Prowl's servo as the four went to sit down on the couch, Chase settled right in the middle of the group. "It is not home, but there are places similar enough."

"Perhaps you can teach us all you have come to learn, it is our home as much as Cybertron was." Chase clicked at the hint of grief that danced within Prowl's words, wishing he had his doorwings to flick them in comfort, so he settled for pushing reassurance through their revitalized bond. "We have much to catch you up on."

"Are we goin' to start with the big one?" Bluestreak hummed from his spot to Chase's left, a grin on his face plate as Smokescreen had to bite back bursting out the answer as Prowl shot him an irritated look.

"Speak of what?" Chase watched his brothers with a soft vent, optics dim as Smokescreen gently rubbed one of his audial fins.

"That can wait, this is not-"

"Big brother met his Conjunx!" Smokescreen blurted out, unable to contain his excitement, as well as knowing Prowl was far too adept at skirting conversations he wanted to avoid.

"Smokescreen." The eldest sighed, doorwings drooping slightly as he shot his youngest brother a look. "There are far more important topics to discuss before any concerning myself, you did not need to drag that to the forefront."

"Oh hush, he's only excited." The second eldest reached over to flick at the lower part of Prowl's closest doorwing, unphased by the faint growl directed his way. "Besides, I know he followed us here, no use pushing off the inevitable."

"Y'know Blue, ruinin' the surprise is no fun." A voice said from behind the four bots, Chase the only one turning to see an Autobot emerge from the shadows of the entrance to the tunnels that ran all throughout the island, heading toward them as Prowl stood. "An' of course I did."

"Plenty fun for me." The visored mech chuckled as he joined Prowl, standing a helm shorter as he looked down at Chase with a friendly wave.

"Chase, I introduce my Conjunx Endure, Jazz of Polyhex." Chase got to his pedes as his brother bowed slightly, mirroring the gesture in return before addressing the new bot.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, and congratulations to you both." Jazz's grin only grew as Chase held out his servo, only to chirp in surprise when Jazz pulled him into a hug, his other arm around Prowl's waist.

"Aww, yer just like yer brother, a mini Prowler!" The older cooed, and Chase was glad they could not blush, cautiously extending his field when Jazz teeked at him, confused by the adoration this bot held for him, despite this being their first meeting. "I'm glad I got ta finally meet ya, Prowler talked about you all the time."

"H-He did?" Jazz laughed as he gave Chase a small squeeze, before loosening his grip to allow the other to walk away if he wanted. "How long have you both been Conjunx?"

"A long time my mech, but obviously after you...vanished." The word was heavy, but Chase merely tugged the couple toward the couch, letting Jazz's arm remain around him despite his usual aversion to touch by someone unknown. It was a bit of a cramped seating arrangement until Smokescreen took the floor, but no one complained as Chase took in the three familiar figures, and one he knew was soon to become family within his coding before long. "So, yer a Rescue Bot huh? I knew some good mech who were some as well."

"I am, it is a title I have always held proudly." Chase let a faint smile grace his face plate, and he was sure his fellow first responders could probably feel the positive EMF fields from outside. "I appear to be the only one to hold my original...occupation."

"Mhm, no shame in that." Jazz watched the way Prowl's doorwings twitched, and sent a gentle wave of affection through their bond. "Why don't ya tell us what you've been up to? We're not goin' anywhere anytime soon."

"Where shall I begin?" Chase straightened a little as Smokescreen perked up, the youngest grinning.

"Start from the beginning?"

"Our journey to Earth began when an Energon Eater attacked our vessel..."

Heatwave was the one to check in on the Praxian sibling's breems later, spark warming at the sight that greets him when he turns the corner. Chase was in a light recharge, his fellow team member resting against the Enforcer he'd met earlier, the older bot protectively holding him while the other one (Bluestreak?) guarded Chase's other side. The youngest bot was dozing off against Chase's legs, doorwings fluttering in contentment as he most likely took in the positive feelings filtering through their reunited bond. The last bot that Heatwave hadn't seen beforehand, but had been warned off during the island tour, was the only one to remain awake, helm tilting up to meet Heatwave's gaze.

"All good?" The visored mech grinned, one servo tracing a mindless path along one of the Enforcer's doorwing.

"All good, go an' rest, yer all safe with me." The mech spoke with a soft tone, but Heatwave could hear the weight of military rank behind every word, promising death to those who would dare break apart their reunited family.

"Goodnight then, we'll check on you in the morning." With that Heatwave left, his spark content that his teammate would be safe without his watchful optics.

Griffin Rock sleeps well that night.

Forgetting to post these on Halloween :3c

[theunknown-void]

SURE!

What's your au about?

Beholder AU

Basically, back on Cybertron being a Rescue Bot was a growing occupation. And to make sure that the newly graduated bots knew what they were doing, for the first 1,000 rescue missions they went on they had a supervisor with them. This supervisor is either an currently active rescue bot, or a former rescue bot/teacher.

Chase, Blades, and Boulder were a team of three young rescue bots(they are between 1,400-1,600 years old.) All three of them were built for rescue work and don't really know anything other than that. When the three graduated they were placed with their supervisor Heatwave, a professor at the academy.

Heatwave is significantly older than the three(I haven't decided his exact age yet, but old enough that as sparklings he and Orion Pax/Optimus were good friends. Hes also significantly taller, being only a few feet shorter than Optimus) Unlike the three he was not built for rescue work, he was built for combat. He fought in a few small civil wars and or skirmishes. Eventually though wars stopped happening and Heatwave was thrown into the gladiator pits where he stayed for years. After some time he escaped the pits and joined the academy where he graduated, carried out quite a few missions, then became a teacher.(If you can't tell Heatwave is both my favorite bot and the character that is most developed in this AU at the moment.) Due to Heatwave once being a warrior, he has built in weapons systems.

On their 999th mission, they receive a distress call. The four find an abandoned Cybertron ship, and an energon eater. This mission goes almost exactly the same to how it went in the show; they had to go into stasis, Heatwave programed the Sigma to reactivate when they got a priority prime message, they didn't get one until Optimus Prime sent one out. When they land on earth Optimus greets them. Boulder is extremely exited at the prospect of earth because he had never been to an organic planet before. Blades is terrified to stay on earth because its nothing like Cybertron. Chase is mildly interested and wishes to read up on Earth laws before making any decisions. Heatwave is more confused than anything because who the scrap decided to make Orion Pax a Prime?(He knows how much trouble Orion used to get into when he was younger.) They all push their ship into a warehouse where Optimus explains what happened to Cybertron to the bots. Ofc they're devastated. Privately Heatwave asks Optimus what they're going to do with Chase, Blades, and Boulder, because the three had never seen war before. Optimus agrees that they can't send those bots out into war, so he calls agent fowler. When Fowler gets to the warehouse Boulder is the most giddy to meet him. Optimus explains what's happening and asks Fowler to find a place that the rescue bots can continue to be rescue bots. Now Fowler knows someone from his days in the military, the someone was a police chief now. And that someone was Chief Charlie Burns.

Blah, blah, blah, they all scan new vehicles and meet Chief. Blah, blah, blah.

Heatwave stays with the bots, as this would be their 1,000th mission and he wants to make sure everything works out and that they are protected.

In this AU everyone would act practically the same as canon out in the open. But behind closed doors or alone this is how they would act(some closer to canon than others.)

Chase(He/him): He would be actively trying to learn everything he possibly could about the Laws of Earth. The fact that when Heatwave does eventually leave he will become leader slowly eats away at him until he becomes a walking ball of stress

Alt mode: Dodge Charger pursuit vehicle

Blades(They/them): Blades would be quite home sick, more so than the rest of the group, so they would turn to other things like television to calm down. They would soon come out of their shell and be more open with people. They're not scared of heights, just flying. They would miss their wheels being planted firmly on the ground.

Alt mode: single man rotor helicopter

Boulder(He/him): Of course Boulder would miss home, but he would be super exited about Earth and its wildlife. He would research as much as he possibly could, frequently watching documentaries and or reading all the book he could get his hands on. Eventually he became super knowledgeable about earth and is the bot the rest turn too if they have questions about earth.

Alt Mode: Wheeled Bulldozer

Heatwave(He/it): Heatwave would be the mentor figure of the bots. At first they would be shocked at how he acted around Kade, but they would soon learn that it was more relaxed. Heatwave tries his best to teach the bots about things, and sometimes it becomes useful. It's the bot the rest turn to when they need help mentally or physically. He's very protective of the other bots and would beat itself up is something ever happened to them.

Alt Form: Triple Combination Pumper(Fire engine)

The humans are practically the same and they grow over time. They and the bots become like family after a longer period of time than they do in the show.

I'm still finalizing details, so if you guys have any ideas, please do share!!

[whatwooshkai]

Gimme a number 5! :D

Chase's face is contorted in badly disguised panic as he stands there, finials practically brushing the lights on his back, waiting for instruction.

Charlie tries desperately not to laugh, coughing into his fist. "I am so sorry," he says, voice strained, as Mayor Luskey forces his way out of the car, fuming.

"BURNS!" he snarls, his toupee slightly askew, and he nearly trips over the grappler as he storms up to him. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!"

"So sorry," Charlie repeats, noticing that Chase has started nervously wringing his hands. "The police bot noticed your car was going above the speed limit and wasn't responding to the flashing lights, so he- uh, the AI, I mean- took the next logical step." He gestures at the scene. "Hence the grappler."

Chase had deployed it without asking, and Charlie hadn't even known what happened until the mayor's car had suddenly stopped and started swerving in front of them, caught in a trap of yellow nylon webbing.

"Well- well- fix it!" Mayor Luskey turns on his poor chauffeur and starts shouting again, and Charlie notices the slight sigh of relief from Chase as the attention is taken off them.

"Police bot," Charlie orders, biting back his smile, "fix this please."

"Yes sir," Chase says, sounding much less confident than usual.

-------------------------------

"I didn't even know you had a grappler," Charlie pipes up as they roll into the firehouse's driveway. "My last patrol car sure didn't."

"It was equipment I had back on Cybertron," Chase explains as the garage door closes behind them, then transforms when Charlie steps out. "I just haven't had a reason to use it until now."

"Well, uh, good to know," Charlie says, patting his hands on his hips. "Just maybe ask first next time?"

"Of course," Chase hums, and his finials flatten against his helm.

"So, do you have any other equipment you're holding out on me?" Charlie continues teasingly, and Chase's finials cant back.

"No," he answers, sounding almost disappointed. "A question better suited for Heatwave. I have not seen him use any of his arsenal."

"Really?" They step on the lift together. Normally Charlie would go back upstairs, but now he's curious. "What kinds of equipment?"

"I'd imagine it's similar." Chase taps his foot against the ground as the lift starts down. "He's got a kit hand."

"What's that?"

"Heatwave!" Chase addresses the fire bot instead, who's up on one of the pillars with the training dummy.

"What?" he calls back, leaning against it.

Chase gestures to Charlie. "He's curious about your equipment."

Heatwave frowns. "...What equipment?"

"Your firefighting equipment. You hand." Chase gestures abstractly.

"Oh." Heatwave jumps down and Chase offers his hand to Charlie, who climbs into it, and he's deposited onto Chase's shoulder for a better view. "Most of it's only accessible in my alt mode, but I got a few things."

He sticks his forearm out and a panel retracts. "Winch," he says, gesturing at it. "Got them on both sides. And my hand's kit." His left hand retracts back into his forearm, and he transforms tools out in rapid succession, including but not limited to a sledgehammer, an axe, a halligan, and a chainsaw. His hand's back in a few moments, and he offers Charlie a shrug. "I don't really have a need for them. I can usually brute force my way through any of the emergencies you guys have."

"True," Charlie hums, "but it's good to know. Thank you."

Heatwave blinks, then nods, turning away and going back to his dummy. Charlie looks to Chase. "Do the others have equipment like that, or, uh, 'kit' hands?"

Chase's finial flicks. "Why don't we go ask?" he says, voice colored with an excited lilt.

Charlie gets the distinct impression he's being included on something important, but he can't even begin to be sure of what. So he just smiles, pats Chase on the cheek, and lets him take him to the others.

Unfinished Rescue Bots, Heatwave & Kade comic. Maybe I’ll finish it🤷🏻‍♀️

Next

[cybertron-after-dark]

I can't stop thinking about Prime and Rescue Bots sharing a universe. Like what all did the Rescue Bots know about during the war. Do they know about Unicron, Team Prime's base getting destroyed, do they even know Smokescreen exists? Same goes for Team Prime. When did each member find out about the Rescue Bots (if they found out), how often did Optimus think about just letting his Dino-bot side out during a battle, did they worry about M.E.C.H. finding out about them? This universe makes me absolutely feral with things like this and I love it.

Honestly I'm pretty sure they didn't even register Unicron happening because disasters are just the natural state of griffin rock. "Oh another earthquake? Yeah okay, let's go fellas, we got work."

They likely didnt know about the base being destroyed until after they relocated just with how often the bots try to get a hold of team prime and reach nobody until whichever fiasco is happening is over.

They definitely know about most of team prime just with how much they knew about Bumblebee alone, but they likely only learned about Smokescreen if Blades and Bumblebee talk outside of necessary-for-work comms.

Honestly I'm pretty sure all of team prime knows about griffin rock even if they don't get an episode there. If it's restricted information to, say, Arcee and Bulkhead, then its a bit confusing that Optimus would freely reveal it to Bumblebee when he ranks lower. And we know Ratchet is aware of them since he had to help find a cure for the paralytic virus in the first bumblebee episode. I'd guess he debriefed the others on the new bots and the griffin rock project right after they touched down to earth for the first time.

I truly, genuinely, honestly believe Optimus should've gone dinobot mode at some point during prime but either that episode came out after the show already ended or they just did not have the budget to model a full t rex mode. But in the timeline where things lined up just the right way to allow it to happen, please imagine with me: dinobot Optimus vs predaking. T rex vs a dragon. Somewhere in the multiverse, beast wars Megatron is weeping.

As for MECH's involvement, I think it's actually implied Morocco has been selling them tech. There's a nonzero chance Nemesis Prime used a Morbot as a base and they modified it from there after they learned enough about cybertronian anatomy to make a copy of prime.

All in all the Ramifications of these shows being so deeply intertwined has me FUCKED UP and I want to see the two teams hanging out so so so badly. Boulder, Graham and Bulkhead all getting to talking and finding out about Bulkhead's construction experience and being like legitimately hyped that they have that in common, and then Bulkhead having a full on out of body experience because hey wait why are the smart guys treating him like he's One of Them and not calling him dumb? Arcee and Heatwave shooting the shit about how frustrating the people they live with can be, but they still love their teams to death. Both of them snarking at Kade. Blades and Bumblebee being Gay on Main alnd Jack, Raf and Miko clamoring for DETAILS while Dani cheers them on. Ratchet being miserable because by Primus why are there so many humans, three of them is already exhausting, until Cody starts talking to him and he conveniently forgets his plan to go hide out in his room. Chase being out of his depth around Miko, aka Chaos Personified. Optimus, June, Fowler and Charlie just slowwwly forming a Tired Parents Club in the corner.

In conclusion your honor I liek when the funni robot shows crossover :]
