[Whirl] Look how shiny we were!

Can you believe we're now completing

our first year at the Academy?

We've all come a long way! Huh?

Hey! Cut that out! [laughter]

And tomorrow we're gonna be standing on those

in front of the mayor and everyone from Griffin Rock

on Graduation Day!

Don't forget, we still have today's end of term test.

[Heatwave over PA] Recruits report to Hero Hall!

Best Bots Forever.

[Hot sh*t] Hey, a full audience.

You guys come to pick up a few pointers

when we crush our final test?

[Boulder] Not exactly. We are your final test!

[Cody] Your final test, Recruits,

is a student versus teacher relay race.

[Cody] Each team will carry a 'rescue victim'

through a series of SIM environments.

Passing the victim from team member to team member

as each stage of the race is completed.

-We so got this! -Cool!

The Recruits will carry Tough Luck Chuck,

while the teachers, to make this interesting,

will be carrying...

..Grimlock!

[whirring helicopters]

[Whirl] Oh! Sandstorm ahead.

There's no way through. It'll choke my engine.

Ahhhh.

[Blades] Better luck next time, Recruit.

I'll take my better luck this time, sir.

[both] Woo-hoo! Yeah!

[triumphant music]

[clatter, bang]

[Cody] And Wedge wins the demolition derby race

-with inches to spare! -[all cheering]

[Medix] So slippery!

Hey, Chase. You sure I'm gonna... fit?

Argh! Uh oh!

[engines revving]

[cheers]

Note to self. Sometimes "slippery" can be a good thing!

[buzzer sounds]

[engines revving]

-[Hot sh*t] Yeah! -[Hoist] I did it! I won!

Can I be on his team next time?

[buzzer sounds]

[Hot sh*t] How's it hanging back there?

[Heatwave] Sorry, Recruit. Bigger Bot, bigger engine.

[laughing]

Hey Grimlock. Is that a cat I see in the raft with you!

Cat? Cat... Cat!

Whoa?

[cheering]

-Woohoo! -Yeah!

Alright.

-That's how it's done. -Huh?

[applause]

[all] Optimus Prime!

I am proud of you all!

No way. I don't believe it!

Ah yes, you have a guest from Cybertron.

Hey guys, this is my buddy...

Scorch!

Hot sh*t talks about you all the time.

I'm known as far as Earth?

That's kinda awesome.

Sorry I haven't been in touch.

They keep us pretty busy around here.

Hey! Did you see that SIM race?

Awesome, right?

I mean, sure, it looked fun,

but it's not real competition.

Not like cube. Listen, buddy,

the reason I came was to talk about the "Cyber Blazers."

Your team? You guys are awesome.

Congrats on reaching the Cube Champion Finals.

Thanks. But we're a player short.

Something happened to one of your teammates?

No. But you're better.

And I want to win.

Whad'ya say?

You're the best player I know... besides me.

Scorch, I'm flattered but...

But what? It's the finals.

It's what we always dreamed of.

I know, but... I'm already part of a team.

The Rescue Bot Recruits.

Exactly. You're a "recruit".

Your buddies are the B team.

The Hot sh*t I knew was A team, all the way.

Just tell me you'll think about it.

Sure. I'll think about it.

So Hoist and I completely stripped this kit down

then rebuilt it with Wedge's help.

Whirl is gonna fine tune it,

then Medix makes sure it's up to code.

Isn't that cool?

Hey, watch this!

[sniggering]

Hey, back in the day you would have loved that!

It's just...

Chuck is a part of our team too.

[whispers] No offense, but your team is kind of a snore-fest.

Your friend is a, what's the Earth term again? Ah yes...

-[alarm sounds] -Great! A rescue!

Now Scorch will see just how exciting

things can really get around here!

Frank the window washer is in trouble.

His cradle is jammed. Find out what's going on.

But be careful,

low hanging clouds are making visibility poor.

[Medix] I can't see Frank from down here.

What's cloud cover like up there?

[Wedge] Ditto up here! We can't see him.

[whirring]

Help! The cable's about to break!

Hoist, the right-side cable is about to snap!

Need some guidance, Whirl!

Left a bit! Up!

You've almost got it!

[Medix] Please move back to a safe distance!

-[Whirl gasps] -Ahhhh!

[Whirl] You did it, Hoist. Lower away.

Oh, thank you! Whoever you are.

Oh, yeah! Whoa!

Somehow I don't think Frank's gonna get

to finish these windows today.

I got this!

[TV news sting]

We'll be right back following these commercials.

The rarest breed... .

Did you see that rescue, Scorch?

That's what I'm talking about!

So, let me get this straight.

You guys do all that rescue stuff

but nobody knows who you are.

What's the point?

The point, Scorch,

is we're doing the right thing!

Look, I don't mean to upset anyone but...

I don't get it.

Arghhh!

They saved Frank. They're a great team!

Sure, they're a great team,

but you're a star, Hot sh*t.

What are you talking about?

The rescue was fine. But your contribution?

They didn't need you.

They needed a garden hose!

Whereas the Cyber Blazers do need you.

And this... could be all yours!

Look buddy, I gotta get back.

One more practice before the big game.

So you need to decide...

Is it Team Glory or Team Garden Hose?

[upbeat music]

Yeah! And the crowd goes...

[downbeat] Wild.

There you are, Hot sh*t!

Wedge has figured out there's only one SIM mission

that we haven't done yet.

If we complete it before graduation tomorrow,

then we'll have done every SIM in the first year database!

How cool is that?

[clap of thunder]

The ground is so dry, we need to put that out

before the whole forest goes up.

Wedge, Medix knock down the trees around it

to stop the fire from spreading.

Whirl you can copter the fallen trees out.

And Hot sh*t, use your water gauntlets to put out the fire!

Ugh...

Your water gauntlets, quickly!

Couldn't Wedge put it out with his shovel instead?

But, there's no time for...

-[buzzer sounds] -Simulation failed.

What happened, Hot sh*t?

Where was the water?

Is that all I am to you?

A glorified "garden hose"?

Ugh. What's the point?

What's up with Hot sh*t? He's not acting himself!

Hmm?

[Whirl] Hey, where's his stuff gone?

I don't get it. Where could he be?

He's not in the gym, he's not here.

[sighs heavily] I think I know where he is.

Here are some Earth souvenirs

to remind you of your time at the Academy.

[Whirl] What's going on?

-Where are you going? -Listen, guys.

I was hoping to avoid this.

I'm not great with goodbyes.

What do you mean "goodbyes"?

You're leaving?

Like, really leaving?

[door opening]

All set, Hot sh*t? Your new team's waiting!

[Hoist] New team?

Scorch asked me to join the Cyber Blazers.

You're breaking up the team cause you wanna play Cube?

After all the work we put in!

See. This is why I don't like goodbyes!

Won't you at least stay 'til after graduation tomorrow?

Not possible, buddy.

Tomorrow's the Cube Final. Go Blazers!

[sad music]

I'm sorry, big guy!

Don't sweat it.

Best Bots Forever, right?

Thanks for everything, guys!

And look at you.

Four's a much better number.

Like the original Rescue Bots!

Maybe this is how it was always supposed to be.

[emotional voice] Did that really just happen?
