New Transformers: Rescue Bots Episode Title Revealed "Cody on Patrol"

MSN TV have updated their Transformers: Rescue Bots episode guide with the title of another upcoming episode, "Cody on Patrol". No description is given at this time, but the episode is scheduled to air on March 17th.

Looks like the kid's finally getting his chance to shine.

Courtesy of Zap2it we now have a description for the previously revealed episode of Transformers: Rescue Bots "Cody on Patrol". The episode is scheduled to air March 17th on the Hub.

Cody accidentally unleashes a swarm of futuristic nanites while he's trying to super-charge his go-kart to help in the team's rescue missions.

I get the feeling that this could be the episode that haters will point at to label Cody as a "stupid human kid sidekick" like several past humans have been labeled.

And I don't like that. Thus far, Cody's been helpful and portrayed as a relatively smart kid. If he so much as makes one mistake, the haters can go all out on making him look just as bad as past humans have been made out look.

MSN have updated their Transformers: Rescue Bots guide with the title and description of episode seven, "Four Bots and a Baby". Unfortunately it appears we will be going a month before this episode airs, it's scheduled for April 14th.

Description:
The Bots are enlisted to watch after Doc Greene's Robo-Baby.
Original air date:
Saturday, April 14, 2012

The race-war had begun.

Machines were building robot-babies, to replace other babies.

Everyone knows what happened next:

Aw, man! You mean we gotta wait that long to find out anything about the plot of this show? It just got its first plot point in yesterday's episode.

Yeah, the first hint of an actual enemy. Something this show is at risk of becoming abysmally boring without.

Say, I think I know who the enemy is! Who still has an axe to grind with the TF franchise in the wake of their last cartoon cancellation? And who has a supply of nanites? Cartoon Network! That's why they cancelled Generator Rex did a soft reboot to Ben 10 all of a sudden: the forced continuity implosion mixed Rex's world's nanites with the ones from Alien Swarm via the dimensional bridge Ben used to get to his world in the crossover, creating an omniversal singularity that allows CN to ship the hybrid nanites into rival networks' shows and f@#& them up! These nanites weren't all that effective if they couldn't act on organic matter or even overwhelm the power plant, so maybe Time Warner will find some way to act through the HUB's reruns of Batman cartoons next time.

No, wait, DC's superheroes aren't to blame; the HUB airing that wretched Superhero Squad cartoon is f@#&ing up their network far worse.

Think that's too far fetched? Remember, continuity is a battle waged in the hearts and minds of every fan, everywhere, every day! Whenever someone talks about Diaclone like it's actually TF history within the context of the fiction, whenever someone implies that Transformers and GoBots had actual battles in the mid-'80s, wherever Turkish Star Wars carries more weight in the minds of fans than the prequels, you too may already be one of the Space Thunder Kids.

Enemy? Who said anything about there being an enemy in this show? The dangers ARE the enemy. Them bringing in an actual villain (i.e. - a Decepticon) would be counterproductive to what this show's deal is. Sue, the nanites could be of Decepticon origin, but there's no need to actually bring any Cons into this show. It doesn't need any Decepticons anyway.

Bite your tongue! This show is amazing! Granted, the Flobsters episode was probably the weakest thus far, but even it had a certain charm that Prime could only ever dream of acquiring. This show knows how to have fun, and how to excellently carry out characterization. And the unlimited amount of all kinds of fantastical dangers that can and will come about just add a superb layer of diversity and imagination to it all. There's all kinds of possibilities and opportunities that this show can spring forward, and I look forward to witnessing all of it.

My tongue has reflexes you've never dreamed of; it cannot be bitten. You should hear my Seaspray impression.

And I said "at risk of" becoming boring, as in it hasn't happened...yet. It's just that despite their best efforts at variety, the pattern of the benevolent mad-scientist inventing something that leads to a problem is coming to dominate the majority of episodes. The implication that the can of nanites came from some other organization that might want to sabotage things on Griffin Rock seems to have added the necessary next layer to the dynamic of the show just in time to prevent that established routine from becoming dull.

And I didn't say 'Cons because I agree that they aren't needed here. I'm guessing it's some human organization out to sabotage all of the island's advanced tech, leading to an episode down the road where all human tech becomes unreliable, making sentient robots the only hope to avert disaster and restore order, forcing the bots to 'out' themselves to the rest of the town in a way that leads to their being accepted as the aliens they are. At least that's what I guessed the SETI dish episode (best one so far IMO) might be laying some groundwork for.

In our second piece of cartoon programming news for the evening, MSN have also updated their Transformer: Rescue Bots episode guide to reveal a new title and synopsis. Episode 8 title "Walk on the Wild Side" will air on April 21st.

Boulder decides that the team needs an animal mascot but maybe a zoo isn't the best place to find one.

Hmm, still no sign of the plot arc that was hinted at in episode 6. I really hope this show kicks it up a level since it was off to a very strong start from the get-go.

Thanks to the MSN episode guide for Transformers: Rescue Bots we have the title and description of episode 9, "Christmas in July". This episode is scheduled to air on Saturday April 28th, 2012.

Cody, his family and the Rescue Bots have to stop a snow storm in July when a weather machine goes haywire.

For a second there, I thought this was going to be the third Transformers Christmas episode ever made (Seriously, was was there never a Christmas episode until animated?), but I guess not.

Either way, here's hoping the plot gets going not long after these new episodes start airing.

Also, darn it! I'm gonna miss this one the morning it airs since I'll be at BotCon!

I'm DVRing it all myself, though I can't make it to Botcon.

I can't think of any other TF Christmas eps besides Human Error either, just UK comics. Though thinking back far enough, this one sounds pretty close to the premise of the Punky Brewster cartoon of the same name. No, I'm serious.

And if it turns out the Weather Dominator Pearl of Bahoudin machine was actually sabotaged, that subplot may be rolling again before we know it.

I'm also DVRing it, but I've never missed the day an episode aired.

I hope so, as the previous two episodes don't seem to have anything that ties into the newly-introduced plot (babysitting a robo-baby, and looking for a pet at the zoo).

Courtesyof Zap2it we have the title and description for the May 12th episode of Transformers: Rescue Bots, "Return of the Dinobot".

An intruder hacks into Griffin Rock's central computer and wreaks havoc.

For continuity's sake, this better be referring to the robotic T-Rex from episode 1 and not THE Dinobots from FOC (as they haven't appeared yet and their full return in the present day is better suited to happen in TF: Prime).

Plus, it's only one "Dinobot" instead of "Dinobots". So, I'm hoping that it's referring to that robotic T-Rex.

Though, a hacking intruder, eh? Sounds like sabotage to me. Could this be linked with the mystery surrounding the Nanobots from before?

This week's episode was my favorite next to Flopsters. So freakin' cute and adorable. I hope they bring Robo-baby back!

Courtesy of Zap2it we have the title and description of Transformers: Rescue Bots episode 12, "The Other Doctor". This episode is scheduled to air May 19th, see the brief synopsis below:

A scientist tries to replace the team with a new invention, leaving everyone out of the action.

If Doc Greene is a Doc Brown expy, who do you suppose this rival scientist will be based on (if anyone)?

Well, the title, "The Other Doctor", made me wonder "Who" as well, but I can't see Rescue Bots slipping in any Easter Eggs for Whovians; not that there's no precedent for that, according to David Wise and UK comic continuity.

If he is actually based on someone, I'll be first to guess Arkeville.

Courtesy of Zap2it we have the title and description of Transformers: Rescue Bots episode 13, "The Reign of Morocco". This episode is scheduled to air May 19th, see the brief synopsis below:

Cody looks for proof that the new scientist's invention is really a villainous plan.

Houston, we have a plot!

Also, jusdgin by this title, I'm gonna guess that the new scientist is named something like "Dr. Morocco".

Zap2it has updated with a new title and description for the Hub's Transformers: Rescue Bots. Episode 14, "Small Blessings", is scheduled to air on June 9th.

See the brief synopsis below:

The Rescue Bots are accidentally shrunk and the Burns family must work without their partners.

Looks like they gotta handle emergencies the old-fashioned way... BRUTALLY!!!

Zap2it's Transformers: Rescue Bots episode guide has been updated with the title and description of June 16th's episode, "The Griffin Rock Triangle". See the brief synopsis below:

A new plot, perhaps? So soon, too.

Meanwhile, as Rescue Bots goes on, Prime goes to hiatus after this next episode.
