Writing idea

We all know that Bots live MUCH longer than humans, and we all know watching the Burnses die over the years would hit the Rescue Bots hard. They love there little pals, after all.

But do you know what would hurt more?

Watching them forget everything.

So, my idea: an angst fic of Chief Burns with dementia. He's forgetting everything. It hurts everybody because they all know he'll forget them too.

But it really hurts the Bots. Human lifespans are already so short, and watching the human they know slip away from them while still being there hurts. They knew they'd lose Chief eventually, but not this soon, not like this... They already have so little time together, and it feels like it's being cut short when the first human they met forgets their names, their faces, who they are...

Everyone says, “Cody Burns wouldn’t hurt a fly” “Cody would try to befriend even Megatron” “Cody adores his family”

And I agree, but give me Cody who is is all these things to a fault!

Give me Cody who loves his family so much but they a bit too oblivious to fully reciprocate it! Give me Cody who never blames them and chalks it up to their jobs! Give me a Burns family that is too disconnected from the youngest member to notice him slowly and painfully drifting away!

Give me Cody who moves to the mainland, only to be pulled in to a deceptacon conflict!

Give me Cody Burns in a desperate life or death situation, and for once, nobody is there to save him except himself…

And he fails. He fails to save himself, the Burns and Bot have to deal with never finding his body.

Give me a Cody who in his most desperate final moments, awakens a Prime long forgotten. Make him a vessel or reincarnation, the original or a derivative but Cody IS Onyx.

Give Cody as both someTHING he is familiar with as well as something brand new as his spark becomes the first Ordinal of a Prime.

What does the SG! rescue bots react around to their partners?

Heatwave around kade?

Chase around chief, Charlie?

Blades around dani?

Blouder around graham?

The SG! rescue bots around coby bruns?

I'm still considering if I should invert the humans' personalities aswell in my sg au, as I don't know how their inverted personalities would be. So, this is going with the idea that the humans don't have inverted personalities.

SG!Heatwave's relationship with Kade is...the same as it is in the original show if we're going with the no inverted personalities for the humans. SG!Heatwave, while mostly calm, does still have the snarky and sarcastic side to him, so he still bickers(which is mostly one sided) with Kade.

SG!Chase's relationship with Charlie is like a tired dad with his rebellious son. SG!Chase breaks the law daily, so he is possibly the worst ever police officer in Griffin Rock. Thankfully, Charlie has been getting through to him, and he doesn't break the law...well, not as much as he used to but it's progress.

SG!Blades and Dani are best friends. Since SG!Blades has the same love of flying as Dani does, they got along well at the start. Dani taught and showed him all kinds of shoes once he showed interest in them, she especially showed him the romantic sitcoms when SG!Bumblebee had shown up - much to SG!Blade's confusion.

SG!Boulder and Graham are as close as they are in the original. They didn't get along well st the start due to SG!Boulder's destructive personality, but overtime they got close. Graham helped SG!Boulder become more gentle and less destructive, while SG!Boulder showed Graham how to stand up for himself

The SG!Rescue bots are still protective of Cody, though they have their own ways of protecting him. SG!Heatwave teaches Cody to stick to the rules. SG!Blades and SG!Boulder teach Cody how to defend himself and how to maim a man. SG!Chase teaches Cody how to crime(much to SG!Heatwave's dismay)

They are very silly to me. This is more IDW Prowl but his G1 design was easier to draw hugghsgds

Really tough to say but I don’t want a reboot or even continuation.

I’d really like a formal ending with where everyone ended up living their best lives but we wouldn’t get that from a reboot. Hasbro of all companies would just be looking to milk another license.

The tone the original had was also interesting because while it arguably had the lowest age demographics for a Transformers show up to that point, it never downplayed the audience or spelled things out. For a franchise that hyper-focuses on Deceptacons, ignoring them gave way for a lot of cool plots!

I want more but not that much more. Maybe a movie with a better animation budget (love the original but the tweening is obviously its weakest part).

To have a final story to tie up lose ends and show the series at it highest point, that would be great to watch!

Hey Rescue Bots fandom, I would like that we all be honest with ourselves and answer the question...

How would we feel if Hasbro ever made a Rescue Bots reboot???

Me? Still undecided... I want more TFRB official stuff but I really don't know how a reboot would be.

Why Cody Burns succeeded where Rafael Esquivel failed

Honestly, Raf is one of those characters I never thought much of, in part because he was so forgettable. More often than not in Prime, Raf was just the sweet baby who everybody thought the world of and wanted to keep out of harm's way, even though the most he ever did in the show was provide technical help with Earth machinery or play the part of innocent child. This was not helped by the fact that he was buddy-ed up with the mute Bumblebee, who's sole contributions up until his two part arc and the series finale was additional man power and adorable mimic. While this was good for background humor, it ultimately did nothing to the overall storyline in the series, both for Raf and for Bee, and for the series itself.

By contrast, Cody Burns - the resident team baby, beloved by all and unwaveringly helpful in rescue missions - stood out far more than Raf. And what's more, is that he never had "his own" Autobot/Cybertronian partner, when literally his whole family had one of their own.

Allow me to delve into this, hopefully, final observatory post regarding the TFP kids.

Of all the humans, we quite frankly get the least out of Raf. We know he's a prodigy, given that he's twelve (and a quarter) and jumped straight into the same classes as Miko and Jack, the former of whom is no slouch as I've already covered. We're shown that his family allows him free reign of Jasper, as he's playing by himself near the road, although he's alone. That tells us that his family is either extremely lax in their attention for their youngest child, or that Jasper is an actually safe location for a kid who's barely filling out his shoes to be on his own. Whether or not either option is true, that's dangerous and shows that Raf goes unnoticed by his family. I'm not saying they're abusive or willfully neglectful of him, but this points us to the conclusion that Raf has a very lonely home life, and we already know that he's got zero friends until he meets the Autobots.

This could have been a great plot-point for the series: by giving Team Prime a small child with no one for company, the writers could have more clearly given the Autobots hope for the future of the War/after the War, while Raf could have gained confidence and security from having people who actually cared and listened to him. It could have been fun, having him be the human cycling through the Autobots for various needs. Imagine Raf going to Optimus for comfort after another day of feeling ignored, talking to Arcee for ideas on how to stand up to Vince (being the sole child in class makes you a target, after all), or coming to Bulkhead for how to struggle through the physical aspects of his school regimen (i.e. the time he brought up the rope climbing to Ratchet.) The possibilities were endless.

But instead, he's specifically handed over to Bee. Bee, who is the disabled child that is also largely forgotten, and who, while he does bond with Raf and provide him with much needed company, offers nothing else in the way of development or storylines. We got something marginally better when Raf started spending time with the grumpy grandpa that is Ratchet, which was great to highlight Ratchet's soft side that nurtures his own character progression, but it's not enough for Raf's development. I greatly prefer the company of the Autobots to the human characters in virtually every series, but there needs to be a noticable human presence to ground the Autobots' protective instincts toward Earth and to push along the story. Raf ended up being a token character not even halfway through the first season, which is a shame given his potential, especially since he and Bee ended up being background décor.

Now, as a counterpoint, we come to Cody Burns.

Like Raf, Cody is the youngest child of the Burns clan - and I say clan because his family has been the one providing Griffin Rock's safety and protection for about...roughly three hundred years? (Correct me if I'm wrong, but his family were the ones in-universe to discover the island. Thus, there's a large claim and respect to his family's name.) His father Charlie is the chief of police; his oldest brother Kade is the chief firefighter; his older sister Dani is the helicopter pilot and primary search and rescue operator; and his brother Graham, who's about eight years older than ten year old Cody, is already a chief engineer and inventor himself. Clearly, Cody has an impressive family. Clearly, they're the best of the best, and he couldn't be prouder of them.

And clearly, Cody feels the need to earn his stripes given their talents and the family's reputation.

A recurring subplot in Rescue Bots is how Cody is insecure about his role on the team, and that often leads him to attempt to provide help and find his place in life in the family. Sometimes, this works; although he's often left monitoring the situations across the island at home through the cameras, Cody finds ways of giving advice or pointing out a hazard that the others are oblivious to that would have likely killed them. And this is a noble occupation his fills, with his aid saving many lives and much trouble.

However, sitting around and merely being an observer wears on him. It makes him restless, and he often seeks aid from the 'Bots to figure out his problems before typical shenanigans ensue that rectify the current episode's dilemma.

This is an important part of Cody's characterization because while he does occasionally feel left out/ignored by his family, he understands it is because of their duties. Charlie has to daily wrangle different criminals and legal offenses while Graham is eagerly going to town on his latest project. Kade and Dani each have their own lives that are beginning and that they're pursuing, but additionally maintain an intense sibling rivalry due to them being not even three years apart. Thus, while they're seeing they're respective girlfriend and boyfriend, they're also competing in various childish ways that, sometimes, result in massive fights. It's no small wonder Cody rarely goes to them for advice.

For this, he's left with the 'Bots, and because they view him as their darling little brother who inspires them every day to give the humans of Griffin Rock and Earth a chance, they listen and advise him. Heatwave is the oldest of the 'Bots, and thus more experienced; additionally, Heatwave more than once nearly threw in the towel in the early days, but only relented due to Cody's convictions and virtues. Therefore, while they have a special bond without it being the sole focus, Cody tends to run to Heatwave the most when emotionally unwell and Charlie is unavailable. Heatwave in turn gives him comfort and advice, and backs him up in most situations. Chase is one he less often seeks help from, mostly due to Chase's nature of being a rigid rulebook. Most times Cody helps Chase understand human expressions and terms when Charlie is busy or otherwise engaged, with both their efforts helping the police 'Bot to loosen up. There are times when he needs Chase's input, as strange as that aid might be, and Cody doesn't hesitate to seek it.

Boulder he goes to almost as regularly as Heatwave, and the two get along fantastically. Boulder provides him with loving company he's hungry for, and sound advice without being overbearing. Blades sometimes needs more encouragement than anything, and thus Cody plays the rare part of helping guide someone through their numerous fears. Because of that, the 'copter 'Bot is extremely loyal and protective of Cody, and when Cody does ask for his help or companionship, Blades readily gives it. Sometimes, Blades will even go above and beyond what is asked, and never asks for anything in return.

These are healthy, constantly growing relationships that Cody develops with the 'Bots, as well as magnificent characterizations that are always expanding. While the focus tends to be shown through Cody's eyes or centered around him, it never fixates on him more than is necessary. Rather, by setting him up as the show's heart, the writing team is able to stretch out towards arcs related to other characters, both the 'Bots and their specific partners, and the other human cast members who interact with the 'Bots on a less frequent basis.

This is how Cody takes the potential of Raf from Prime and not only runs with it, but builds up countless heartwarming moments and strong characterizations over the course of Rescue Bots' run. Cody is positively and rightly shown as the glue of the family element of the show, and is given the autonomy to maintain his own personality and growth without being forgotten like Raf consistently was. That's why Cody stands out, and poor Raf is left hanging.

Well, that's my thoughts on the matter. I felt I should tackle Raf, given I covered his two peers, and Cody is a cute, fun, and constantly evolving counterpart to Raf that explains much of why I feel the poor baby of Team Prime was ultimately misused and unnecessary. I hope you enjoyed this, and that it got some gears turning in your heads.

I'll be seeing you guys!

Ya guys want to learn something cool?

I was researching for the naming of my fan design/comic(?)/art of the Cody Burns as Onyx Prime fannon (car poll has only 6 hours left), and I started looking at fake onyx.

This is Agate! It’s a calcedony rock formed when silica get trapped in the rack creating process and creates bands of alternating colors like Onyx

However Agate forms in water with sedimentary rocks, while Onyx forms in lava and is volcanic. I hope the “poor reading comprehension” site can see the obvious parallels

The same process in different environments still creates similar products…so what if it worked with Sparks as well?

Maybe we’ll see it with Agate Ordinal, sparkling of late Onyx Prime
