#Chief Burns

[waty-art]

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.

TFP + Rescue Bots incorrect quotes 'cause I was feeling nostalgic

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

Optimus: If you bite it and you die, it’s poisonous. If it bites you and you die, it’s venomous. Bulkhead: What if it bites me and it dies!? Arcee: Then you’re poisonous. Jesus Christ, Bulkhead, learn to listen. Bumblebee: What if it bites itself and I die? Arcee: That’s voodoo. Wheeljack: What if it bites me and someone else dies? Ultra Magnus: That’s correlation, not causation. Smokescreen: What if we bite each other, and neither of us die? Wheeljack: That’s kinky. Ratchet: Oh my God.

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

Optimus: Do crabs think people walk sideways? Heatwave: …Optimus, what the hell?

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

Boulder: Are you good? Arcee: In what sense? Boulder: Generally. Arcee: Oh, definitely not.

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

Blades: I don’t think we can mansplain, manipulate, or malewife our way out of it this time. Heatwave: cracks knuckles Manslaughter it is!

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

Blurr: An apple a day keeps the doctor away! Bulkhead: An apple a day can keep anyone away if you throw it hard enough.

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

Miko: We either die free, or die trying! Jack: Are those the only choices?

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

Miko: sneezes

Ratchet: Shut the fuck up.

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

Arcee: A pessimist sees a dark tunnel.

Optimus: An optimist sees the light at the end of the tunnel.

Bumblebee: A realist sees a train coming.

Ratchet: AND THE TRAIN DRIVER SEES THREE IDIOTS ON THE TRACKS!

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

Optimus: I sent Chief Burns a picture of Bumblebee with the caption "in menace mode" except the picture didn't send and all Chief Burns said was "huh!"

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

Bumblebee: In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Optimus: Wasn't Bulkhead with you?

Bulkhead:

Bulkhead: In my defense, I was also left unsupervised.

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

Salvage, the day he and Blurr became Rescue Bots: What's the signal when something goes wrong? Heatwave: We yell, 'oh shit.' Blurr: …That'll work.

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

Optimus: dies Bumblebee: Timer starts now! When are they coming back? I say two months! Arcee: Bullshit. One month. Bulkhead: Nah, half a month. Smokescreen, sobbing: WHAT ARE YOU DOING? OPTIMUS JUST DIED! Ratchet, scratching chin in thought: One week.

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

Blurr: I have an idea. Salvage: A good idea? Blurr: Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

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

Ratchet: I’m not a doctor I’m a medic. Bulkhead: What’s the difference then? Ratchet: Well doctors actually save lives, medics just make you feel more comfortable as you die. Arcee: Note to self; never get shot.

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

Ratchet: If history repeats itself, I’m getting a dinosaur.

Optimus: You already have one.

Ratchet:

Optimus:

Ratchet: OPTIMUS PRIME-

Bitches love Rescue Bots

It’s me, I’m bitches

Doodle sketches for @bluekat12345 because we are mutuals who love angst and EMH. I already did art of Thor and Hulk so have the rest of the Avengers.

Please read her most recent fanfic: He's my son, not yours! One of the doodles is a scene in chapter 4.

Don't get mad at me for giving Graham a beard...

Love how Chief Burns' reaction to this is essentially:

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

[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.

Forgetting to post these on Halloween :3c

How do you people in the fandom feel about this new fic idea I have:

It would basically be a retelling of Transformers Rescue Bots except canon would diverge at the very start. Cody would discover that the bots were aliens as usual, but this time he doesn't let anyone else know that he knows.

The rest of the Burns family find out as early as usual so their partnership progresses as usual, if not a bit rockier for a bit longer since Cody was essential in strengthening relations.

It would play out like this:

Cody funds out that the Bots are aliens and he familiarises himself with different things around Griffin Rock the help him sneak around.

Heatwave finds another reason to stay on Earth this time around (maybe either he's a bit less quick to anger? Sees some potential?)

The rest of the series plays out the same, with everyone in the places they're supposed to be (e.g Cody in the bunker when that volcano was erupting in s01 e02) but I'll find other ways for them to end up there.

Cody sneaks around and does his own things to help his family and the bots (at some point revealing that he knows to Optimus, maybe?)

Maybe when Frankie finds out about the bots she immediately goes to tell him (they're the best friends ever 🥺🥺🥺) and he convinces her to keep the fact that he knows secret and then Frankie joins in on the scheming

Comedic moments from then on and Cody being exasperated at how obvious the bots are being

Maybe some angst potential at the start since, in this AU, the Burns family doesn't tell Cody but he gives them the silent treatment for a while before deciding to get himself together and kick start his plans?

Huge dramatic confession from all the bots (including the others like Salvage, Blurr) and Cody just being like "oh wow no way I am shocked, this is me being shocked rn

Anyway, I feel like this would be in a series where I rewrite episodes (either important ones or ones I feel like I could have a nice little subplot)

This is a surprisingly alive fandom (I know you're here I can smell you) so if other people have any ideas feel free to lemme know. Idk when I'm gonna write this (when my motivation comes back probably) but I will write this eventually. Probably. Updates in my progress will probably pop up here as well. :)

Heatwave promised himself that he would adopt Cody if anything happened to the Chief.

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.

Listen, Doc Greene definitely knew about the bots the whole time. There is no way he didn't figure it out almost immediately. We didn't get to see his reaction when Chief told him but I'm confident it went something like this

Chief: Doc, nobody is supposed to know this, but with Frankie in danger it's important that you know what's going on. She's in good hands. The bots... aren't really robots. They're aliens. They'll take good care of Frankie and Cody, and get them home safe.

Doc: Oh I know.

Chief: You... do?

Doc: Yes??

Chief: But... how?

Doc: Chief, I build robots. I'm the lead scientist on an island full of advanced tech. I knew within the first week that those weren't robots. And so, the only logical explanation was aliens.

Chief: ...Ah, yes. Logical.

Chief: So... you've known this whole time?

Doc: Naturally.

Chief: But why didn't you say anything?!

Doc: I thought maybe they were self conscious. And besides, they've saved me and Frankie enough times that I'd hate to make them think they weren't doing an adequate job. They really are phenomenal actors. And pulling off all the rescues they do without letting anybody know? Incredible!

Chief:

Doc: Oh and I suspect Frankie knows as well

Chief:

I was wondering about your last TfRB post when Cody shows his family how he decided to try out something new with his style. How would his family react if, like two weeks later, Cody again shows up in his regular clothes (boots, jeans, jacket, t-shirt) and be like, "Nah I don't like in anymore" and next day shows up in something new

I feel like Graham knew it wouldn’t last, so he just shakes his head and lets out a sigh of disappointment.

Dani probably is grumpy about it and misses the new outfit, but doesn’t say anything and just sulks.

The Chief? Well frankly, he’s devastated. He’s just wants his son to wear clothes normally.

Kade finally recognizes Cody again.

Graham: I knew it! nothing lasts forever.

Dani: He was so cute though.

Chief: (silence filled with utter disappointment)

Kade: Cody, you’re back! Where have you been?

Cody: (face palms)

[hopefulangelpuppy]

more rescue bots memes!!! So I made some more for you all hope you like them

[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

god bless fathers
