Bitches love Rescue Bots

…

It’s me, I’m bitches

[stinger-shot]

just a random rant..

So I've been rewatching rescue bots after not watching it in years, I never got to finish it when I was younger and I'm so upset that I never!

I just finished watching the episode where blurr and salvage join the team and I'm so happy I came back to this show, it's so amazing and nostalgic for me.

It was litterly the first transformers show I ever watched and how i know about it today!

And I always still stim over optimus when he shows up because.. c'mon WHO DOESN'T LOVE OPTIMUS!!

And blades is still my favourite rescue bot..

Also I still hate Dr morocco..

Blades: I CAN'T DO IT!

Streetwise, laughing: I CAN'T EITHER!

Blades: I CANT FUCKING DO IT ANYMORE

Bumblebee: WELL I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, YOU CAN EITHER GIVE UP NOW, OR YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT. BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU, AND WE KNOW YOU CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT US.

Blades:

Blades: I appreciate it,

Blades: BUT LOOK WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH-

Salvage: Blades-

Blades: YOU GOTTA DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE!

Groove: Blades we gotta-

Blades: YOU GOTTA DRAW A FUCKING LINE IN THE SAND. YOU GOTTA MAKE A STATEMENT.

Blades: YOU GOTTA LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF AND SAY 'What am I willing to put up with today?'

Blades, motioning to Blur: NOT FUCKING THIS!

OK I think I finally figured out how old the Transformers Prime bots are. And it’s all because of Transformers Rescue Bots.

So, in the first episode of Rescue Bots, Optimus Prime introduces himself to the Rescue Bots, and remarks about how he was not aware they were still active. The bots also talk about checking in with Cybertron HQ. This leads me to believe that not only did the Rescue Bots leave Cybertron before the war started, they also left before they knew Optimus became a Prime. This is paralleled with Smokescreen meeting Optimus and IMMEDIATELY knowing who he is. Also, I feel like they wouldn’t have left Cybertron while a war was raging, since Heatwave and Chase were more than happy to join the war. (this point could be refuted since they know about Bumblebee during the war, but that might also be because they had been talking to Optimus and researching the war)

Later, all the way in Season 3 Episode 20, when the Rescue Bots find Blurr and Salvage’s ship, the Rescue Bots remark that they’ve never seen a ship like theirs before, and that it was “Ancient” and “way before their time”. And then, HERE’S THE KICKER, later in the episode, Cody tells Blurr that he and Salvage had been on Earth for 10,000 years. This is a very big deal because the aligned continuity shows made it a point to stay away from exact dates, opting to use words like ‘millennia’ and stuff

So…that means, at the VERY OLDEST, the Rescue Bots and most of Team Prime (barring Optimus and Ratchet) are around 9000 years old. It also means that Orion Pax became Optimus Prime around anywhere from 1000 to 9000 years ago, and that the war had been raging for about that long.

That really is not a lot by Cybertronian standards, but I’m gonna be honest, I like it MUCH more than the “million year old robots” thing.

I’d assume Optimus is around 10-20 thousand, along with Ratchet

Bulkhead and Arcee are around 8000

Smokescreen and Bumblebee are around 5000

And they’ve been on earth since ~1980 (Arcee mentions Bulkhead hitting wires or something when they first got to Earth. The writers were probably lining it up with the 1980s cartoon timeline I’m guessing)

So, do with this information what you will lol

just want to say that i think it was a very bold and iconic move of the megop fandom to hijack the lord high protector megatron idea from the bayverse movie comics. like, i GUARANTEE you 99% of transformers fans in general have never even read the bayverse comics, but megop fans really took one (1) idea from them, which was solely created to push more Brotherly Drama™ between optimus and megatron, and said "ACTUALLY this makes megatron optimus's boyfriend and they are now a happily married ruling couple over cybertron :3", and i think that's beautiful. <3

The rescue bots zine gave me nostalgia

lazy screenshot redraw of that one time the Rescue Bots B-Team watches everyone they know, love and/or hate disappear into thin air

How did the rest of the team (and OP) react to the news of them expecting a baby?? They probably told everyone at one of their Sunday reunion thingys.

Jazz and Prowl are granddaddys now, YIPPEEE🎉🎉🎉🎉

Quickshadow is REALLY nervous about her sires’ reactions because the last time they heard from her, she was the same old quiet, and closed off femme, but SUDDENLY SHE’S ON AN ISLAND FULL OF MECHS AND SHE GOT PREGNANT 💀💀💀💀💀😦😦😦😦😦

Boy are they gonna have chat with Heatwave

Everyone was initially shocked, but immediately screaming and chaos replaced the silence, and while Blurr was posting this on his story, everyone was scrambling to get the firehouse set up for Quickshadow. Blades and Dani are already planning her baby shower and brainstorming names (obviously not officially thinking of names, as that’s up to Heatwave and Quickshadow) and the burns kids are frantically telling the Greene’s everything

More outfits based on the rescue bots characters, this time I focused on their allies

GUESS WHO'S BIRTHDAY IT IS!!

in honor of my birthday here are some more rescue bots headcanons!!

they (as in constructed rescue bots) have extra color receptors which allows them to see more types of light than other bots, as well as advanced hearing (they’re also the only bots with noses so they have an extra sense)

all of them have outliers (its a requirement to be a rescue bot)

blurr changed his paint job (post s4, before he showed up in rid15) because heatwave and blades basically bullied him into it

the academy where they studied was on a moon of cybertron’s, and they actually spent very little time on cybertron itself. it was sorta like a field trip spot, and they went very infrequently

quickshadow was the academy's champion shot, and she won a bunch of competitions

the rescue bots all had specialties outside of what they actually did (heatwave was a history nerd, boulder studied xenobiology, blades took journalism, chase did psychology, quickshadow was a data analyst, hightide took astronomy)

hightide was actually friends with both orion pax and megatronus separately before they realized they all knew each other

in that same vein, servo and lazerbeak were longtime friends because they grew up together

optimus is so ridiculously tolerant towards whatever the rescue bots do that they actually have a running bet on how much they can get away with before optimus gets angry (he never once has)

blurr's reputation as most annoying bot ever has been intact since way before the war when he was a racer

blades got his name through an awkward mishap at an armory that heatwave never let him live down

related to that, all the rescue bots' "names" are really more of nicknames. their names are listed on documents but their primary identification is through serial numbers because they're cold constructs

boulder had a practically bullet proof reputation at the academy as the perfect student so whenever the others wanted to get away with something they always involved him

when salvage heard about DIY's he got super into them and started making tons of pointless stuff. he never even followed the good channels, only stuff like troom troom

chase succumbs to peer pressure ridiculously easy

heatwave gives really good advice but only on accident

quickshadow and hightide like to hang out and trash talk optimus whenever he does something they don't like

blades only has field medicine training, he's not cleared for any actual treatment outside of an emergency (he can do first aid and EMT stuff but can't, like, prescribe things or do surgery). this has not stopped him from trying things though.

salvage is actually from one of cybertron's colony worlds, but he grew up on cybertron

ok here's a fun little surprise is honor of my birthday: the humans are also included in headcanons!!

kade was actually very good at gymnastics, he just got bored of it

chief burns needs glasses but he prefers to wear contacts

dani had a very extreme scene core phase, and her hairstyle is a remnant of that

frankie has super high government security clearance as a super genius and daughter of one of the world's best scientists, so she knows all kinds of military secrets

doc greene and chief burns met in childhood, doc's family moved away, and then when he got older he moved back to griffin rock and reunited with the chief

graham is the biggest night owl because of college. sometimes, when he has trouble falling asleep, the bots invite him to movie night and they all watch reruns of old movies or shows

building off that, there are two kinds of movie night: the first is with the whole burns family, rescue team, and sometimes others such as optimus or the greenes. the second is less of a movie night and more of a "we need something to do while the humans are sleeping, let's watch trashy tv all night." this kind of movie night is really just the bots (minus whoever has night shift)

professor baranova actually used to be pretty upbeat, although she was a bit misunderstood because she's neurodivergent (i also headcanon that after the whole living underwater for 28 years thing she developed DID and multiple alters to cope with the loneliness, so she's now a system)

woodrow and optimus are in a qpr. optimus refers to him as his amica, and also privately thinks of him as his human partner

doc greene at some point developed a working synthetic energon formula completely independently. when ratchet first met him (post war, probably right before he was hired to work at the rescue academy) and learned about this he lost his shit

bumblebee and dani race together all the time when he visits

this is where i'm gonna stop this post, because it's pretty late for me lol. it was my birthday today, so happy birthday to me!!

also y'all PLEASE talk to me abt any of these headcanons i will be thrilled to elaborate!
