[laughs] I don't know what this simulation is,

but I love it already!

It's called an earthquake.

And it's incredibly dangerous.

[crashing]

Whoa. Loving it less.

Huh. That was a fast emergency.

Just because the shaking's over,

doesn't mean our job is.

Now we look for humans to help.

[man] Help!

Found one!

Help!

[cat yowls]

Don't worry, Sir. Remain calm. You're perfectly safe.

If only humans behaved like that in real life.

Why wouldn't they? This simulation is designed

to be an exact copy of an actual emergency.

Right... but in the real world,

Heatwave says things never go like you expect-- whoa!

Oops! Sorry, guys!

But Hot sh*t isn't part of the SIM program.

If we follow protocol, every rescue should be easy.

Hey, if you want something hard to do...

[grunting] Help me with this.

[barks]

On my count. One, two...

Huh? What?

Wonderful. Now we won't be able to finish our assignment

because the girder is behaving illogically.

[buzzing]

It must be a glitch in the SIM program.

No problem! Glitch got you in a stitch?

There's more than one way to scratch an itch!

I uh... understood none of that.

I mean, when you've tried everything that makes sense,

try something that doesn't!

Sometimes rescues take imagination.

[grunts]

This is wrong on so many levels.

[barking]

[giggles] Yes, we saved you!

Yes we did. You're very welcome.

Nice work, Whirl. Mission accomplished, team!

We only finished the SIM

thanks to an error, so it doesn't count.

Real rescues are based on logic.

-[alarm sounds] -And speaking of real rescues...

Take a seat, recruits.

We just got an emergency call from Griffin Rock.

This delivery truck blew a tire and flipped over.

I'm sending you five to clear the road

and help get the driver back on his way.

-On it! -Wait. There's more.

Those cans contain expl*sive gas

so be careful when you move them.

And...

Cody will be coming with you. Now you can go.

[action music]

Ok, team. There's the truck how do you want to handle this?

Let's take things step by step.

We should move the gas cans first.

Then lift the truck upright! And tow it to safety.

Or, we could just explode the cans

and blow the truck onto its wheels again!

How cool would that be?

Your suggestion is illogical. And a really bad idea.

Let's just keep things nice and simple for now.

Unload the truck, and get it back on its wheels.

[crashing]

Um... what were you saying about nice and simple?

Cause that looks bad and dangerous!

Hot sh*t, Hoist, Wedge-- go stop those cans.

-Got it! -Yeah!

Medix, Whirl-- change into vehicle mode

and move all the humans out of the area.

We gotta keep them safe.

How about a little competition?

The bot that stops the most cans wins!

And I'm already in the lead.

Not for long!

Ha! Now we're tied. Sorry, Wedge.

Don't be.

'Cause I'm winning.

Medix! Canisters on a crash course with a clueless couple!

I will simply follow

the earthquake procedure we just learned.

Duck and cover?

No. "If you're in a crowded public place, avoid panicking."

[screeching tires]

Gas canisters are rolling towards you,

which could blow up and cause damage everywhere.

Please remain calm.

[gasps] Ahhh!

I don't understand. Why didn't they comply,

as in the simulation?

Humans aren't a computer program, Medix.

We're a little more unpredictable than that.

But... that's not logical!

Welcome to Earth. C'mon, let's go help the others.

[gasps]

Ahhhh!

[baby giggling]

♪♪

Ha ha, two more for me!

Hey, we were part of that rescue, too!

Ok, ok, we'll share that one.

One for me, and a half for each of you.

[banging]

-You're so generous. -How's it going, team?

All cans stopped and accounted for.

That's a big negatory, Hoist!

I see two more cans, and they're heading straight for a bridge.

[loud expl*si*n]

[screeching tires]

Oh no! Everyone, hurry!

A car's about to fall off the bridge!

Follow me, team.

Wait, we need to assess the situation!

What are you planning to do?

I'll know when I get there!

[sighs] Humans.

Help!

Better stay back, Whirl.

That car's too unsteady for an air rescue.

Don't worry. We'll save you!

Yeah! Um... how?

Simple. We just need to think and act carefully.

Hmm... huh!

Hmm. Now what?

Maybe I can lift them to safety!

[revving engine]

Hoist, no! The bridge is too unstable!

[crumbling masonry]

We can't get close enough to that car

to get those people out!

I'll try to reach my dad at the firehouse.

I wish this rescue was as easy as they are in SIM practice.

At least there's no polka-dot flying girders here.

That's it! What was it you said?

At least there's no polka-dot--

No, no, no. I mean in the SIM this morning.

"Got a glitch you can't solve? Try a different approach!"

Eh... close enough.

I say we treat this accident in the same way as the glitch.

Try something that isn't obvious.

Well, whatever we do, we'd better do it soon.

The rescue team is busy with another emergency,

and I'm not sure when they'll get here.

What's your plan, Medix?

We can't get close to the car...

the other side of the bridge is inaccessible.

All normal methods of rescue are impossible!

How is talking supposed to be helping?

Shh, this is how he works.

[computer whirring]

I've got it! We push the car off the bridge.

-Push the car? -So it falls into the river?

With the people inside?

Isn't that what we're trying to avoid?

Well, it doesn't make sense when you say it like that.

But it's like Whirl said:

Sometimes the most logical solution is the least expected.

-I said that? -Close enough.

Hot sh*t, you haven't picked your vehicle form for today, right?

-Not yet. -Excellent!

Cody, I believe I have a way to save those humans!

[Medix] First, we deliberately get the bridge

to cr*ck and crumble. That will cause the car to fall.

I can't believe we're doing this.

[Cody] Make sure your seat belts are securely fastened.

[crumbling]

By my calculations, the arc of the falling car

will snag it on the bridge's cables.

Then Whirl and Cody can fly in and rescue the family.

[Cody] Take it nice and slow...

[Whirl] We'll have you safe on the ground in no time!

[Medix] And if there's an unexpected splash down,

Hot sh*t can take care of it.

Somebody order a hovercraft?

[bark]

This is unexpected and illogical!

But surprisingly nice.

-Thank you, dog. -[dog barks]

Huh, looks like you didn't need help after all.

Medix figured out what to do,

and the recruits took care of it.

I still prefer logic for solving problems.

But Whirl's imaginative way

of approaching a situation proved useful.

Thanks, Medix. But even I would never have thought

to push the car off the bridge.

Wait, what happened?

We'll explain back at the truck.

[grunting]

Nice work today, team.

Rescues don't always go as planned,

so it's good to remember,

there's more than one way to solve a problem.

Well, some things turned out how I thought they would.

Like me catching more cans than you two.

Not so fast. Look what we found.

Which makes us the winners.

By a half point each.

[laughter]

Wait! I want a rematch.

C'mon guys!

We just need to find another overturned gas truck!
