Hey! Did you hear the rumor

about a special guest visiting the Academy today?

You mean the rumor you started?

Let me guess: You think it's Bumblebee.

How did you know?

Good. You're all here.

There's someone I'd like you to meet.

-[all gasp] -Rescue Bot recruits, please welcome...

...Wes.

Huh?

[Heatwave] Wes won Griffin Rock's team pioneer

Emergency Response competition.

Hmm...

So he gets to spend a day with us at the Academy.

[all] Hi Wes! Nice to meet you! Welcome to the Academy!

Hey.

Wes will do a shift with each of you during his visit.

So he can see what special, individual skills

-you bring to rescue work. -Cool!

I'll show you around first.

Hey, thanks Hot sh*t!

Think you can teach me some of your cube moves?

Wait-- you know I'm a cube player?

The best cube player!

Cody told me all about you guys!

I'm glad I finally get to meet you in person.

Aw, what a cool kid!

This assignment is gonna be so great!

[Wedge] Whatever.

Babysitting isn't rescue training.

I'm going to the lab to do some real work.

What's rusting his servos?

Hmm.

[action music]

[action music]

[whoosh, thud, whoosh]

[skidding]

Zoom! And that, Wes,

is how you ace the recruit agility course.

Whoa! Can I try?

Uh, sure. But isn't it kinda big for you?

Huh?

Boom!

Oh! Nice, Wes! I'm impressed.

I guess being small can't stop a hero!

-[zap] -Ugh! Come on!

[Wes] Is that a hydro-fusion drive?

Uh, yeah. It's a part of my piston clamp attachment

that was damaged in a rescue--

Never mind.

Maybe I can help?

No thanks, kid. I got this.

-[zap] -[growls]

Wes? Why don't you join me until Wedge is available?

Thus changing your sad face to one of happiness.

Thanks, Medix.

Indeed.

-[thud] -Whoa, careful Wedge.

Is this your hydro-fusion piston?

What made you decide to work on it now?

You've been putting it off for weeks.

I just thought this was the day to finally fix it.

Well, today's priority is Wes.

Have you spent any time with him yet?

-No... but... -I'd fix that, first.

Oh, and don't forget about

the Groundbridge maintenance test this afternoon.

The portal will be open,

and we don't want anyone accidentally falling through.

Oh, thanks for the reminder, Sir.

Very impressive!

You have taken to pressure bandage application

like water foul to H.

You mean like a duck to water?

Exactly. Humans say the strangest things.

They can act strange too.

Can you explain why humans love watching videos of kittens?

Hey Wedge, are you free now?

Ugh, sorry kid. Still busy.

-[zap] -Gah!

What is with this thing?

Have you tried reversing the polarity?

-Hmm. -I could help if you like.

No! That's ok. I got it.

Howdy partner? Is it my turn to mosey you around?

I guess.

Then yee-haw let's hit the trail, cowboy!

[powers up]

Huh. It was the polarity.

I created this SIM especially for you, Wes.

-Ready to lasso some varmints? -Sure am, partner.

[dramatic music]

It's all in the wrists.

[whoosh]

Yee-haw!

Does this really count as rescue training?

It's so much fun!

Sure! You learn more when you're having a great time.

And lassos can be super helpful on missions.

You wanna try?

Swing it just like I showed you!

Then let it go!

Yes! I mean, yee-haw!

Ha-ha! See that, everyone?

There's a new sheriff in town.

Hey-- wanna see a trick sh*t?

Uh...

-[cr*ck] -Ah!

Okay, see what I just did? Don't do that.

Where's Wedge? I think it's his turn with Wes.

I don't know! But since he's not here...

Wes can come with me! You do like flying, right?

Training with you recruits is so awesome!

[whirring]

[Hoist] There you are! You keep missing your turn with Wes!

Believe me, I'm not "missing" anything.

And neither is he.

Hi Wedge! Wes just gave me an awesome idea!

Bungee cords on my basket hooks

so it's a comfier ride for humans!

He's the best!

Hey, great! You got your piston working!

Uh, yeah.

If you have time now, there's something in my journal

I'd like to show you.

Sorry, kid. Maybe later.

More like maybe never.

Hey, how about another flight?

No thanks, Whirl.

-[clank] -[whoosh]

Nice! Ten times normal arm power.

[Whirl] what are you doing, Wedge?

Wes is going home soon

and you still haven't hung out with him.

I'm a Rescue Bot recruit,

not a babysitter.

Heatwave said each of us had to spend time with Wes.

It's not like you to ignore a mission.

What's really going on?

Uh... look...

I don't have cool skills to show off like you guys do.

Hanging out with me isn't exciting.

I'm construction equipment.

How inspiring to a kid am I gonna be?

More inspiring than you think.

You're his favorite bot!

What? Me?

In fact, he told me

that when he's a fully fledged first responder,

Wes hopes to be paired with you!

As a human-bot team! You're his hero!

That's why he knew all about fusion piston clamps

and reverse polarity.

And I just kept pushing him away.

Aw, scraplets.

-[alarm sounds] -[gasps]

[Whirl] Where's the emergency?

Griffin Rock, but we have another problem.

The Groundbridge was open for the maintenance test

and Wes just ran through!

Who was supposed to be with him?

It's my fault, Sir.

Then it's your job to deal with that emergency

and keep Wes safe.

Recruits, roll to the rescue!

Wes!

The building's collapsing.

Help me get these workers to safety!

Stay calm and keep moving!

This way, please.

It's safe over here!

[crumble, cr*ck]

-Wedge, that beam! -I'm on it!

Hurry! I'm not sure how long I can hold this up.

[grunts]

What if you use your new fusion piston clamp?

That should give you the extra power you need!

Good thinking, Wes!

[grunts] But I can't let go to reach the button!

Medix! Help the foreman!

[action music]

-[grunts] -[rumble]

Hang in there, Wedge!

All clear!

Yes! You did it!

-Wahoo! Alright! -Way to go, Wedge!

Save it for Wes.

Couldn't have done it without him.

And so, I wanted to say--

I'm really sorry about how I treated you.

That's okay.

I'm sorry for going through the Groundbridge without permission.

To be fair,

you saw an emergency and you acted.

You even sounded the alarm for the rest of us.

Yeah! Those construction workers

would have been in real trouble without your help!

And, me, too.

I'm glad you see that.

So, the next time I assign you a task,

even one you don't realize is important--

I'll do it, sir!

I'm sorry for letting you and Wes down.

Hey Wes! Ready for me to show you those cube moves?

Naw, he probably wants

to hit the lassos again with his partner!

Or we could do a fly-by over your high school!

I have selected some excellent kitten videos!

[meow]

Sorry guys, it's my turn.
