-Hot sh*t! -You in here?

Hello!

Hot sh*t, if you can hear us,

look, Wedge says he's sorry.

Yeah, right.

Okay, he didn't exactly say he's sorry,

but he made this face.

Which means he wants you on the team. We all do.

Too late.

I guess he went home.

Oh, come on!

Send me back to Cybertron already!

Hot sh*t, there is something I want to show you.

Unless you have other plans.

This? I totally wasn't giving up and going home.

And, even if I was, what does it matter?

This place doesn't need me.

There's a whole room full of bots back there

who love rescue work.

And make a great team.

That you are a part of.

If you leave,

it will affect the other recruits more than you know.

I'm just slowing them down and getting in their way.

I'm built for sports, not emergencies.

You may leave the academy if you wish.

But before you make your decision,

follow me.

♪♪

What... what is it?

The Mul-t-cog Badge.

An ancient Cybertronian relic.

It will only share its power if a bot's spark is worthy.

How can it tell?

If you were in a cube game,

and the winning sh*t depended on you,

-what would you do? -I'd win.

What if you were built for emergencies?

Then I'd do whatever it takes with what I had.

Good answer.

Whoa!

What does it do?

The Mul-t-cog will allow you to change

into three different rescue forms.

A water-based hovercraft,

a sky-bound jet,

and your current land mode.

But you can only pick one form per day.

This is exactly what I need to prove to Wedge

that I'm a better rescuer than... I mean...

This will help me, uh... be a great part of the team.

A rescuer's true strength comes from within.

Thanks, Optimus. I'm totally gonna make you proud.

Now then. I assume you have all read this short version

of the rules and safety protocols for police patrols?

[all] Yes, professor Chase.

Nope. I read the long version!

The chapter on city codes was hilarious!

We'll take your word for it.

Excellent work, Whirl. Who can tell me

what a flashing yellow traffic light means on Earth?

Ooh, ooh, me, me!

Who else can tell me?

-Hot sh*t! -You're still here?

That's right. So you better watch your step.

The precise answer is,

a "flashing yellow light means proceed with caution."

But I will accept "watch your step." Well done, Hot sh*t.

Lucky guess. But luck won't save you when things get real.

Sounds like a challenge. Which I accept.

Attention, recruits.

Rescue missions must be performed quickly,

but also safely.

The object of this simulation

is to obey the rules of protocol,

and still cross the finish line in a timely manner.

You will be racing in teams of two against the clock -

and each other. Who would like to...

-Me! -I will!

You will start this race course in bot mode.

When you have safely arrived at a check-in point,

and hit the checkpoint,

you will be allowed to proceed to the next stop.

After the last check in, you may then use

your vehicle mode to complete the race. Understood?

-Got it! -Yes, professor Chase.

Then, as the humans say, let us commence this celebration.

He means, "Let's get this party started."

Go!

See ya at the finish line!

[buzzer sounds]

Not if I see you first!

Come on Chuck, pick up the pace.

Oh look. My shoe is untied.

You don't wear shoes!

[clicking]

Woo-hoo!

Uh...

[grunts]

♪♪

Huh!

Uhhh...

Ahhhh!

[engine revving]

[cheering]

Uh, what just happened?

Hot sh*t turned into a jet!

That is not possible. Or logical.

How did you-- But you're an ATV!

Not anymore! Thanks to Optimus,

I'm a one-bot rescue team.

Wow. You're friends with Optimus Prime?

We've hung out a couple of times.

Having a range of vehicles will be quite useful

for our rescues.

Isn't this amazing, Wedge?

We have our own quadruple changer!

Who cares?

Uh... me?

I thought you'd be thrilled.

Now I'm a Rescue Bot, just like you guys!

Please. You think your vehicle form is what makes you a hero?

Rescue work is about who you are in your spark.

It's also about being the first one there

to save the day, which I totally just was.

[siren blaring]

Aah! What is that annoying sound?

[gasps] The rescue alarm! Hurry!

Nice hustle, recruits. As you know,

emergencies can happen any time, anywhere.

That's why tonight, you'll be practicing a cave rescue.

Cody is hiding deep in the caverns near Milford.

It's up to you to work as a team

to find him and bring him safely back here.

I'll be in contact with Heatwave to let him know

how your mission goes. Hope to see you soon!

It's easy to get lost in a cave,

so follow this map and stay together. Any questions?

So is string cheese made of string, or cheese?

Any questions about the rescue?

Oh... nope!

Then you're ready to go.

Rescue Bots, roll to the rescue!

What? That's what we say, right?

That's what I say. You're still in training.

Then how about, rescue recruits, roll out!

Works for me!

Huh!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Uh... huh!

[engines revving]

Which way do we go?

Last one to Cody is a rusty wing nut!

Wait! [groans]

We're supposed to stay together!

Then we'd better hurry!

And that is why we use a map.

Hey, at least now we know where not to go.

Look! We're close!

Cody! Where are you?

Over here!

Really? We're doing this again?

[clanging]

Whoa, guys, take it easy! I'm right here!

[loud rumbling]

-Where's Cody? -Behind those rocks!

Cody? Are you okay?

Knock once for "yes," twice for "kinda",

three times for "I'm hungry"...

[coughing, laughing] I'm fine!

But I'll be better if you can get me out of here.

Humans have an annoying habit of needing to breathe.

You dig him out, and I'll look for another air source.

Can I... um... oops! Sorry!

Don't just stand there, do something!

Come help us, Hot sh*t.

I can't. I didn't tell you before but...

...I only get to use one vehicle form a day.

And I chose a jet. I'm useless down here.

I thought you said you were a Rescue Bot!

Well, that means you don't quit. Even when things look hopeless.

Yeah! Just think-- if this was a cube game,

what would you do?

[rocks falling]

I'd win.

Yeah, nice!

-Finally. -That's what I'm talking about!

Oh...

Huh!

-[Hoist] Awesome! -[Whirl] Woo-hoo!

Thanks for digging me out so fast.

Thank Hot sh*t. We couldn't have done it without his cube moves.

It took the whole team.

We're stronger when we all work together.

And when we follow the map. I'm just saying.

Guess you're worth keeping around after all, rookie.

That's what I've been telling you!

I taught him that.
