My second piece for the Rescue Bots Zine hosted by @turbofox-zines!

[fishleeks]

More under the cut!!

After inhaling noir detective films I have begun to throw it back up, now with transformers.

I haven't figured out the actual mystery of this AU yet, but the gist of it is that chase, something of a hobbyist lollipop man/traffic warden now that there isn't so much work for a not-quite-a-cop but not-quite-a-civilian.

When Chase started this side gig, the area was dangerous thanks to its popularity amongst speedsters and drag racers. But a guy with too much free time and the power to issue a dozen fixed speeding fines an hour was enough to discourage speeding in the area, and as a result accidents.

Despite his efforts, the history books remained the same. This area had a history of reckless driving. So when Chase is the sole witness to a frantic driver fatally crashing, he is the only one who seems to think this was abnormal. Without the power to press the issue, and nothing but some bits of potentially missed evidence stashed away crudely after the fact, Chase has no choice but to try and forget what he saw.

That is until Chase is visited by Nightbeat, a detective decidedly not authorised to be pursuing a closed case. But when Chase tells him he thinks there's more to this, Detective Nightbeat listens. And when Nightbeat asks Chase to help him with a minor errand- in the name of justice of course- Chase isn't aware of how deep this rabbit hole would go when he obliges.

I just love this bit. Chase just in the background while Chief and Woodrow argue-

"Oops, I seem to have... Erm..."

"I'm just gonna put this rock back, so-"

"-And... Nope. Not working, lava's still there. Chief-"

"...Yeah, there's a thing I need to bring up-"

"-Yeah. That." (Sheesh!)

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 :)

Chase = one of the funniest characters. He does his best comedy when he doesn’t realize he’s making a joke.

A bunch of loose chickens? He suspects “Fowl” play

Gets told something isn’t his business? Great! He doesn’t even own one!

Someone calls for 911- bro replies “No need citizen! I AM 911” as he puts his shades on

He spent an entire episode narrating his every move and thought process

He has accurately used a “that’s what she said” joke

“And like a swimming pool in the winter time this case is closed”

[transformersandschtuff]

Heatwave is *that* person at Cody's games he can't help it he loves his little step brother so much and has anger issues wdym he can't threaten the ref for a dumb call

Chase is the only reason he hasn't been banned from attending

Ok so I just kinda thought of this but I like the idea that tfrb chase is a secret jazz/prowl love child and jazz has no idea that prowl had a kid and sent him to the rescue bots to be raised away from praxis. (I’m thinking this is pre war before they work together professionally) and prowl just never tells him even after there reunited during the war. That is until they get sent on a joint mission to griffin Rock and then prowl has to explain why there’s a bot there calling him creator but looking nothing like a praxian. Oh and prowl also has to call redalert and let him know that heatwaves also on griffin Rock and is not dead in space like every one thought they were.

One out of four OG Rescue Bots done!

I might adjust the blending modes more on Blades so you can see the flag colors more clearly, but I’m too lazy to do it rn

Not all of the flag colors are the exact headcanons I have for them, I just needed flags that suited the amount of places to color… the flags do still apply to him and Dani though :)

If you want to know, all the flags/flag colors Blades has right now are:

Gay flag (on the, y’know, big banner stick he’s on. It’s also on the paint splatter on his copter blade)

Pansexual flag (on his windshield thingy and the party banner flags, sorry there are 0 technical terms its 4 am. This flag applies to both him and Dani)

Transgender flag (painted on his left arm and on his left leg)

Queergender flag (painted on his right arm and right leg)

Genderfluid flag (in his left leg rotor)

Genderflux flag (in his right leg rotor)

And the rainbow, of course, partially on the lower party banner and his left shoulder’s paint splatter!

That should be all of them, I might change them tho since they’re pretty redundant (I might change one to be ace or poly, depends since I still need the flags for the other three)

Tell me your RB headcanons and I’ll see if I can include them!

I want to be able to include as much representation for this Pride (since it’s my first time really making art specifically for pride and posting it, I usually forget it’s pride month, but I want to celebrate because I can 👍🏼)

Hadn't seen Rescue Bots in a long time, love the hc that Chase and Prowl were either friends or maybe brothers before the War

---

"Is Chase going to be alright? He's been out there for hours."

"He just needs time, son." The eldest Burns shook his head with a soft sigh, mixing up a salad for dinner. "Go get Cody from the bunker, will you?" His eldest nodded before heading for the fire pole, passing by Graham and Dani seated at the table. They were just as worried for the bot they considered part of the family, but they knew there wasn't much they could do.

Mourning was complicated for anyone.

Optimus Prime had come for a visit earlier that day, pulling Chase aside after giving some greetings and news from the mainland, the Autobot leader's expression heavy. Most of the family knew he and Chase had been sending private comms to each other but, for the most part, hadn't pried into it, as everyone was entitled to their privacy. It only became a concern about an hour after they had left when the three other bots, who had been chatting with their various partners suddenly doubled over in pain, their optics taking on an indigo hue.

"What was that?!" Kade demanded when the bots straightened, eyes widening as he was ignored, the three speaking to each other in their native language that the Burns' had only heard in the first days of their arrival. Heatwave then hurried out of the bunker and towards the woods Chase and Optimus had walked toward, leaving Blades and Boulder to keep the humans from following, still whistling and chirping in their native language as they waited for their leader to return.

That had been hours ago, Optimus and Heatwave returning alone with a command to just let Chase be. The eldest human knew the signs of a death notification only too well, herding his children back into the house after shaking his head with a solemn expression.

"Dad, Cody isn't there." Kade hadn't been gone too long before returning, concerned yet not terribly surprised. "Pretty sure I know where he would have gone."

"I'll go get him then." Charlie sighed as he fixed both himself and Cody a plate of the food he'd made, before descending the stairs and heading outside. The other rescue bots were sitting with Optimus behind the house, the elder nodding his head as he heard them talk in low voices in Cybertronian as he passed them, Heatwave's gaze on his back following the human up and into the tree line. He knew where Chase would have gone, having shown the Cybertronian a small clearing that overlooked a small part of Griffin Rock in the early days of their arrival, stepping out of the woods and approaching the massive figure who sat at the edge of the clearing. Cody was sitting beside him, feet slowly kicking back and forth as he pointed up at the stars, just rambling away as the bot beside him watched in complete silence.

"Oh, hi Dad." Charlie knelt down to offer his son dinner, Cody smiling as his dad filled his hair. "This looks great."

"Eat up, you had a long day." Charlie smiled before circling around Chase, carefully sitting beside the bot across from Cody. For a long while, the only noises were the clinking of silverware against plates and the local nocturnal wildlife, filling a silence that felt heavier the longer it went on.

"Dad, I'm going back inside." Cody eventually spoke, getting to his feet and giving Chase's arm a small hug before moving to get his father's plate. "Um..."

"I'll look in on you later, okay?" His son smiled before heading home, leaving the two officers to sit and observe the town below them. Chase must have been listening to make sure Cody had moved out of auditory range, for a noise Charlie Burns could only describe as agony ripped its way out of Chase's throat barely a minute later, frame rattling as his agony echoed over the area below them.

Charlie just placed a reassuring hand on the trembling metal, letting his partner fall to pieces. He'd had his own share of breakdowns in the past and knew having someone he trusted close by had helped him pull himself back together, and would be a silent support for his current partner. The Cybertronian eventually fell silent, servos trembling as he looked down at Charlie, normally blue optics nearly black from what had to be pure grief.

"My split-spark perished here, defending humanity to the very end." His voice was subdued as he cycled his optics, looking away from the human he'd grown to care deeply for. "I had suspected, but..."

"You needed proof." The mech nodded sadly, whatever else he could say just getting lodged in his throat. "This might sound rude, but what is a split-spark?"

"The closest human equivalent is brother, or perhaps twin. We both originated with the same spark, but for whatever reason Primus wills, we split and became separate mechs."

"What was his name, and what was he like?"

"His designation was Prowl."

[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!!

[glitterr-ghoul]

BLACE!! If you ever wanna make me happy just give me Blades x Chase. But for real though, I love these two, literally my comfort ship. He's telling him about the lps popular lore at 3 AM... -

(Alt version with a more blue tint.)

Learning how to draw in the rescue bots style

It was such a pain getting nice pictures of my art cause my camera is ✨️dogshit✨️ but oh well ALSO sorry the formatting of this looks bad I have no idea how to fix it 😭

[fishleeks]

they are watching the real housewives!! (it was blades turn to pick) I think blades is a cuddler but only boulder would accept it. chase is neutral to contact but doesn't engage it and everyone should be happy heatwave is there at all so dont push your luck.

[sargentstyrofoam]

Real talk though, don't interact with me if you infantilize the rescue bots. Like they're not children. They're on a kids show so the show will include kid jokes but they are fully capable adults on a new damn planet. Obviously, they won't know everything about earth culture but that doesn't make them children

Especially Chase, istg. I see Chase get babied the most. But like, the character is just autistic-coded. (I'd argue all the bots are autistic-coded, but Chase is the most "obvious" to people)
