We all know who mans best friend is, but who's robots best friend? Say hello to Servo the Rescue Dog, who's making his debut on Transformers Rescue Bots! Hasbro Studios has given us a sneak peak at the new talented robo-pup who appears to a walking tool shed. Have a look at the teaser video and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

FWIW, that video is made up entirely of footage from previous episodes (even Heatwave's "rescue dog" line) except for the few shots that specifically feature Servo.

When I first saw that picture for a split second I thought "Voltron Force's Yellow Lion is joining Rescue Bots!"

even servo is better than kicker

Admittedly I haven't been watching Rescue Bots, so the first thing I thought when I saw this is that they're trying to win over the Paw Patrol crowd.

To darn funny next they will be making my little pony's as transformers

...Isn't something like this usually a bad sign?

Episode 68 -

Heatwave's taking Doc, Graham, Frankie, and Cody over to a Drilling Platform No. 6, A.K.A. "Old Faithful", an offshore oil platform that went dry. They're going to check it out since new owners just bought it and want to turn it back on.

High Tide is here! And huge! Like, Omega Supreme HUGE!

Short theme song.

High Tide's even got an Omega Supreme-esque head and claws.

High Tide can separate himself from his giant ship body into a smaller component, kinda like how a Headmaster can separate from its Transtector.

Hi, Optimus.

High Tide has a very slight, very subtle West Country accent, and is much taller than Heatwave (almost Optimus's height).

Optimus puts High Tide in charge of the team during their training (though, Optimus secrtly lets Chief know that High Tide has much to learn from the team as well).

High Tide finds humans to be beneath him, not worth his bothering with.

Servo appears to be High Tide's personal assistant, for maintenance and supply retrieval and such.

Surf's up, Boulder! Cowabunga!

...Until he hangs far too much more than ten and goes for a sinking nosedive.

High Tide's component altmode is a submarine.

The oil rig is in pretty bad shape. Rusted beams, missing struts, exposed wiring, dangerously corroded well cap... makes one wonder who bought this rig and why they thought it could be useful again.

Blades saved Milo from drowning, but because he left his training under High Tide to do so, High Tide chewed him off for it. However, Cody and Heatwave stood up to High Tide for Blades, getting themselves kicked of High Tide's ship for their insubordination.

Back at the rig, Doc states that the whole area is far too unstable for future drilling with any rig, and that one tremor could trigger a disaster. And that's all it takes for the well cap to burst shortly after he speaks that. A massive oil spill followed by an intense fire is unleashed.

Whoa, Servo can transform into a bin on wheels.

Heatwave: "Rescue Bots, surf to the rescue!"

Doc and Frankie are saved, the rig collapses and explodes, but the well cap refuses to stay in place.

High Tide combines with his ship to become its Mega-Bot mode.

With High Tide stepping down on the cap, the others secure it into place.

Since's Doc's floating lab was destroyed in the fire, Optimus requests that High Tide remain on Earth for a little longer, which he accepts. And Servo is allowed to stay with the team.


High Tide -- MICHAEL BELL!!!!!


Well, this certainly was a surprise! We get a brand new Autobot character who is not only chums with Optimus, but also a very indignant character. He's rude, obnoxious, bossy, condescending, demanding, strict, harsh; just about the opposite of everything one would expect for a role model character in a young-age children's cartoon. A very flawed character. And yet, that's a big part of what makes him so interesting. He's such a stark deviation of the normal kinds of good guys that, until now, the most we had of these characteristics came from Heatwave and Kade, but both of them have come a fair ways from when they each first started out at the beginning of the series. Now, we get this new guy who makes both of them look like legitimate upstanding citizens, and it's such an engaging experience to see a good guy so uncooperative and arrogant in this show that usually only has those who act out like this in villain roles. On top of that, he was even voiced by a G1 veteran to boot!

Have you studied High Tide's body?

I see Dreadwing's head (just a coincidence)

And then we have Flipper patterened Feet, scuba tanks, and external engines... short of an outright figure with knees, I'm going for Gen. SeaSpray. Too bad Dreadwing blew up the real Sea Spray, or we could have gotten another of the Prime Wreckers ticked off the list.

And pleasently pleased: I was ex[ecting a reskin of Heatwve's boat form, as a cost saver but High Tide seems to have an all knew model. So good for them for not cheeping out

Flashwave wrote:And pleasently pleased: I was ex[ecting a reskin of Heatwve's boat form, as a cost saver but High Tide seems to have an all knew model. So good for them for not cheeping out

Well, High Tide has his own toy that Hasbro would want to sell, so the animators would be obligated to make him look like his toy.

Though, I concur with the Dreadwing thing, but primarily in the eyebrows. His Mega-Bot mode, however, is straight up "Omega Supreme as a boat".

So does this mean High Tide will get a dino mode like the rest of the team? Doubtful, and I don't know what "dino" he'd take (personally, I'd suspect a plesiosaur or mosasaur, but worth speculating (not that the main team has used their dino modes that much).

Not sure why he'd need one since Quarry's been arrested and Humungado's back in his movie.

Considering Evan and Miles keep escaping incarceration (it's amazing they haven't been outright exiled from the island), I doubt we've seen the last of Quarry.

I hope so. Quarry's awesome.

But with a dino toy of his own for Hasbro to sell, I can't see High Tide (or the other two forthcoming recruits) getting a dino mode.

I expect us to get more of High Tide's Mega Bot Mode figures before we see a dino. And anyway, I think the Dino thing was a combination AoE tie-in and a shot across the bow for the dinosaur car changer toys that the cartoon ran with.

I'm thinking the Epic Optimus Prime figure could've been better served by being High Tide. It would be the all-important scale, You could do a FLip-change High Tide as the head (or, not)

Anyone found the latest episode yet?..The Last Of Morocco.....coz the regular YouTube poster hasn't put it up yet!(which he usually does on a Saturday night) I know Amazon & torrent sites have it already.....but you have to buy the series or episodes on Amazon....& I'm not a fan of torrent, also.....hasbroepisodes also have it on YouTube! but it's not available for viewing in the UK.

Episode 69 -

Frankie got accepted to a science camp that she and Cody applied for, but Cody didn't. But if he would be in if he were to take a catch-up math class. Though, Cody doesn't seem that interested.

Instant time portal in the sky! Hot air balloon coming through!

When asked what year it is, Chief doesn't give an answer.

Verne somehow seems to know Heatwave.

Verne has met (or will meet) Cybertronians!

Verne and Morocco met at the London Exposition of 1862. They shared scientific findings, and Verne trusted Morocco enough to give him one of the two prototype devices Verne had been working on. But soon after, their interests went in different directions. Verne focused on exploration to further the advancement of mankind. Morocco, however, worked to advance only himself, tried to make himself younger, stronger, and wealthier. Verne feels guilty for having not intervened, having been so caught up in his work that he let themselves drift apart.

But the morning he left Paris in 1869, he received a message consisting only of some coordinates and the present day's date.

High Tide! He's giving the team a lift to the designated coordinates.

Servo's a Cybertronian Helper-Bot.

Chief overboard! A whale's threatening to eat him! Go Heatwave!

"Power Up and Energize!" -- Chase is using a winched hook

There's a camera on the whale. And the creature somehow seems intelligent enough to motion the team to follow it (as well as to respond to Chief's doubts of it "saying" anything).

High Tide escorts Verne, Chief, and Cody underwater, following the whale straight to... the Nemo. Morocco's undersea base.

Morocco is more aged than ever.

Morocco got the Nemo back in a forced trade of his Verne Device to Madeline Pynch. He had intended on outsmarting her, but with the device, he can't run his Chamber of Youth. However, he took a chance at sending a message on a piece of paper through time to reach Jules Verne over a 140 years in the past.

Morocco could have traveled back himself had Verne shared the energy source of the Verne Device with Morocco, but Verne had taken an oath to never reveal that secret.

Chief attempts to arrest Morocco, but he's ready for such measures. He traps the three in a force field and, using the ant-controlling device that he's since modified into controlling undersea beasts, orders whales and an octopus to attack the team's ship.

The beasts have sunk the ship! And the Bots can't beat what they refuse to kill!

Chief is willing to surrender, but High Tide ain't!

High Tide, Mega-Bot Mode!

Utterly flabbergasted by the sheer enormity and might of High Tide, Morocco surrenders, but begs to use the Chamber of youth when they return, or he shall perish (YES, he said the word "PERISH") within days.

Morocco's young again, and behind bars again.

Cody calls Frankie and tells her that he's going to take the math class so he and her can go to science camp together.

Verne wants to take Morocco back in to the past to serve his sentence in his own era, but Chief declines Verne's offer since the present day facilities are far more secure, and he doesn't want to risk Morocco escaping again.

Cody suggests using the Verne Device to erase Morocco's memories of his life as a villain, thereby giving him a second chance as a new man. However, Graham notes that the younger Morocco of 1869 is already living there, so bringing back the present day Morocco would cause a problem of there being two of him in that year. So Verne says that he'll instead take Morocco to the future, where he can visit him.

Boulder sees that Verne's energy source is none other than an energon crystal. It interacts with the Verne Device in a special way, creating the ability to travel through time. It is how he met the Autobots in the future. And he knows of what Heatwave's destiny is.

Morocco escaped! Again.

He's getting away with the balloon!

Heatwave cuffs him to the balloon whilst holding onto Blades, and helps Verne into the balloon, which disappears into the time portal.

Blades blurts out that Heatwave is going to meet Verne again in the future.

Verne and Morocco made it to Paris in the future, and Verne seemed to succeed at erasing Morocco's memories.



Diedrich Bader -- Jules Verne



Oh man. That was awesome. Even at his greatest moment of vulnerability, Morocco still proved competent enough as a villain, only being stopped by High Tide's Mega-Bot Mode. And even when he seemed to finally be beaten, he still couldn't be stopped. It took a last-ditch attempt at a point of no return for him to ultimately be stopped for good, and then a method of ambiguous morality to cease his term of villainy. Yeah, I'm not too keen on his mind having been erased against his will to forcibly change him into another person. That's more stepping into questionable territory since it's essentially playing god with a person's life. But on the other end of the spectrum, Jules Verne was a neat addition to the episode, serving as the perfect scientific counterpart to Morocco. And what's more is that he served to foreshadow things to come in the show, with his having already met Cybertronians (specifically Heatwave) in a future scenario. I hope we see him again real soon. Maybe he could be involved in the season finale.

You know what I don't like? That Dang Boat's mass shifting. The squid had it nose down completely submerged, and then it ransformed. So if you assume Mega Bot is Length of boat mode+Half again for concealed thighs+Bridge tower's height) It still should be freakin huge enough to be intimidating but it should not be that dang big. And I'm not gonna buy "Convienent Sandbar for it to stand on" in deepwater ocean. Around Griffin Rock? Sure, but not there.

since the present day facilities are far more secure,

Um, can we get a second opinion on that?

What's funny is that that claim came back to bite him when Morocco escaped again.

But, I do believe that in spite of Morocco's escaping it, the modern day facilities are still more secure than those in 1869. Imagine how swimmingly Morocco could get outta one of those.
