#Rescue Bots Boulder

[fan-burns]

Here’s the full piece for the Villain Zine! Transformers was an old interest of mine, but I’ve been getting back into it since May of last year, and after learning about the last Rescue Bots Zine I had to join in on this one!

I decided to do a “What if” au where Morocco found the bots before OP did. I’m still fleshing things out but I would love to hear some feedback!

I wanted to thank everyone at @turbofox-zines and the discord server for a wonderful experience, and I hope I can partake in more Zines (transformers related or not) in the future!

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-

A really stupid incorrect quote joke that i think fits them well, enjoy

[stinkytrashman]

Guys they're escaping

[sargentstyrofoam]

Some reaction images I made over the past few days for a disc server I'm in :3

And a wip I'll maybe probably finish soon of Cars as transformers

Chase loves Christmas

I designed the Rescue Bots as humans a bit ago <3

I had fun drawing them, my personal favorite is Bolders or Savages. I might do Hightied because I want a accuse to draw a hot old guy :)

Headcanon time!

We all saw the Rescue Bots in their protoform… forms before scanning their vehicles, yes? Well, from my understanding, protoforms are basically underdeveloped Cybertronians. My headcanons for them come from that.

- All the bots have stunted heights because of that. As in, shorter than Arcee. It makes it easier to save the humans.

- Their voice boxes aren’t as clear as normal human noises due to being underdeveloped, they all kinda sound like UTAUs but in different resamplers

- Before they went to the academy, they get hurt easily since protoforms have thinner armour. But they eventually made modifications to their bodies to make them more durable

Miscellaneous headcanons below the cut!

- They initially fought a lot when they first got teamed together in the academy, but eventually got closer

- Heatwave was basically the heartthrob of the academy

- The reason why Boulder doesn’t have the regular visor is because one time in the academy, he was just passing by (wearing his visor) the quadrangle when a cube (the one they use for the cube sport) suddenly crashed into the side of his visor like a meteor, sending it flying. He couldn’t find it after that incident so he just opted for the ones that stuck close to his optics.

- When they were in the academy, the mods they had installed to their body made them stronger, faster, and durable, but also made them very bulky (and they still are after scanning their Earth modes)

- The flashlight optic things are actually a modification from the academy

- The desks they had in the academy were like the armchairs in the Philippines, (iykyk) but they kept sitting on each other’s desks to the point it’s still a habit they do even after training

- O.A, they’re all O.A but they mostly keep it under wraps (except for Blades)

- The four all had land based vehicle modes back on Cybertron, and they love to race with each other after classes

- They LOVE gossiping, they hate to be involved but love hearing it (afterschool gossiping 😍)

- They rarely go to clubs and bars because they’re always busy in Cybertron (and partly because they’re lightweights)

- Boulder picks up the nearest bot next to him when hearing good news (like how he did in Chase’s run for mayor)

- Chase can’t cook to save his life, even if it’s Cybertronian cuisine, Boulder knows how to chop things but doesn’t really know much about how to actually cook, Heatwave can cook a decent bit, but keeps burning things (how ironic), and Blades is the only one who knows how to cook and bake since he was a servant when he was young

- The moment Blades got his first paycheck as a Rescue Bot, he bought all the sweets he wanted alongside some for his team (and made the cashier laugh with the amount of candy he got)

- Boulder, Chase, and Blades got a little bit more violent after being teamed up with Heatwave

- The rescue crew all have outlier abilities

- They all have masks (like Optimus’s) but they rarely use it on Earth since the incidents aren’t as dire

- Blades is very, very familiar with tropa time

- Heatwave gets embarrassed when showing affection to his team when it isn’t small gestures like a hand to the shoulder or nudges but tries to get out of his comfort zone from time to time

- Boulder had the most ankle injuries out of them all when they first landed on Earth (like how do you even walk on those shovels???)

- The team occasionally sings happy birthday (or the Cybertronian equivalent) when trying to wake up a member because it’s funny

- Chase got teased a lot because of his shiny, smooth helm

- A few members of Team Prime visit Griffin Rock for reports under Optimus’s command (and that’s how Smokescreen met Blades). They all understand what Optimus is trying to do for them and respects his decision to not throw them into war

- And the Rescue Crew loves it, they keep asking for stories of war (mostly Heatwave though)

- Optic colour headcanons: Heatwave has red-orange, Boulder has yellow, Chase has bluish-gray, and Blades has green

Got to the end? Congrats! Thank you for listening to me yap :DDD

Cody when everyone was questioning him about whare he got the teach from even tho he doesn't know what is going on. Cody was so confused about what they were talking about 😂

[skyaya-100]

How hard is the life of a student... There is not enough time for anything. But! I still managed to draw these handsome rescuers ❤️🧡💚💙. I recently rewatched this wonderful cartoon series and now all my thoughts are only about them.

Как же тяжела жизнь студента… Ни на что не хватает времени. Но! Я всё же сумела нарисовать этих красавцев-спасателей ❤️🧡💚💙. Пересматривала недавно этот замечательный мультсериал и все мысли теперь только о них.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RESCUE BOTS!!!!

[the-rescue-bots]

Do you like turtles?

Please stop asking other bots that

We might get cassette-napped or something, Dad and Papa would be angry if we got stolen

@livewirethecassette

I love turtles! Well, I love all animals, really.
