Episode 45 is now online.
Episode 45 -
Optimus has personally contacted the Bots to give Heatwave a special mission involving a new responsibility, as Optimus tells him it is time for Heatwave to grow into the leader he was meant to be. Heatwave is to meet Optimus at a secret location on the mainland while the others remain on Griffin Rock.
The Burnses still haven't put up the portrait of Zachary Burns? After all this time?
I knew it! There's a secret hidden camera within the portrait for Morocco to spy on the Burnses!
Short version of the theme song.
Morocco' finally learning of the Bots having true personalities, emotions, and a sense of duty. He believes it to be some sort of advanced artificial intelligence programming.
Morocco sounds like he's still voiced by Greg Ellis instead of Tim Curry. Alas.
Heatwave puts Chase in charge in his absence, and puts Boulder in the responsibility of taking care of Cody. Blades just gets told to not stay up late watching monster movies.
Heatwave can't help but feel like he's forgetting something.
Chief: "What's up, Doc?"
Doc: "Not 'wascally wabbits,' I'm afraid."
Doc's called to inform chief about a strange storm front moving toward the island at an alarming rate. It appears to be a tornado.
Griffin Rock's not prepared for that kind of whether, but Doc has an invention that might be able to untwist the twister, with the help of Dani and Blades. Heatwave's gonna stick around to help out with this emergency first, before heading to the mainland to see Optimus.
The school's basement is being used as a safe location from the storm.
The storm's got Heatwave, who's carrying passengers.
"Power Up and Energize!" Boulder's using a non-toy grappling electromagnet to pull Heatwave back to the ground.
Doc's invention is a canister called the "Tornadote". Once inside the tornado, it should explode and change the charge of the tornado's particles, stopping it cold... in theory. Doc hasn't tested it yet.
Luckily, it worked.
They note how it's odd how the tornado just appeared without warning. Doc wants to take a closer look at the weather data.
Kade's invited himself to come along with Heatwave on his mission, much to Heatwave's chagrin. Heatwave tried to tell him no, but Kade convinced him to reconsider.
According to Doc's data, the storm manifested out of a clear blue sky. But the was a blue beam that appeared during its creation, not unlike that of the weather machine, which is currently still sitting on the Best Left Forgotten shelf where it belongs. Doc suspects that a prototype may have been created first. According the records, an early version of the weather machine should have been delivered to the lab in 1966, but never arrived.
1966 was when the S.S. Isole went missing, and Cody and Chief suspect Morocco to be up to something since he was the last person to have access to that ship.
Morocco was trying to cause an islandwide evacuation with the tornado, but now must take even more drastic measures. Like, creating a massive lighting storm.
Captain Shaw has ferried Heatwave and Kade to the mainland. The secure location Heatwave is meet Optimus at looks to be the same hangar his team first met Optimus at back in episode 1.
Kade: "H-Hey, OP! What is shakin', bacon!"
Heatwave: "Sir, my partner insisted insisted on accomapnying me to--"
Optimus: "Nothing much, Double Dutch. ...I too have learned from humans."
Optimus is to give Heatwave to the next step in Rescue Bots leadership: A third form.
A LOVE Heatwave's sarcastic remark about a space shuttle!
It seems Heatwave is gonna have to undergo some kind of spiritual training to prepare himself for his rescan of a new mode.
The storm has hit the island. Thankfully, Boulder and Graham had previously reinforced the Sanctuary caverns, and Doc has sent Dani to the caves with supplies and board games.
Hey, a view of the firehouse we haven't seen before.
Heatwave has successfully focused his energy for a rescan through meditation. While he was under, Kade expressed genuine concern for his buddy, and Optimus revealed to him that Heatwave does cherish his and Kade's partnership (though, not in as many words).
While the Team evacuates everyone in town to the Sanctuary caves under Mount Griffin, Morocco takes the opportunity to infiltrate the firehouse, making his way into the bunker beneath it.
He has uncovered the Autobot command center adjacent to the bunker. And he's playing back datafiles on Rescue Force Sigma-17."
Chase's file recording: "Sigma-17 ship log, Rescue Bots reporting. We are departing Cybertron on a routine patrol to the Quintessa Quadrant."
The Team has located the weather machine out in the ocean thanks to Doc's coordinates. They're going after it in the Darby Ava.
Morocco has switched the machine from creating a lightning storm to producing a giant pillar of fire. Has a sort o Old Testament feel to it, doesn't it?
Make that a TON of fire pillars!
Good thing Heatwave and Kade are on their way back, but they can't hail the island since communications are still down.
The ferry can't go any faster in this part of the ocean. A boneyard of shipwrecks lies below them. Any faster and the ferry could join them.
Heatwave's diving down to scan one of the sunken vessels: A swamp fireboat.
And now he's got his Rescan fireboat toy body! Well, the altmode of it, at least.
Chief Burns has brought out Kade's old rig to help douse the flames.
Heatwave's fully back and now heading out to sea to take out that weather machine, dodging fire pillar left and right!
No need to disable it or turn it off. Heatwave just RAMS the thing!
Blades is interested in Rescanning, but Heatwave explains how tough and difficult it was even for him.
The framing company found Morocco's hidden camera while they were restoring the portrait. And Chase found Morocco's infiltration device in the secret bunker.
Morocco will no longer be focusing on upgrading his MorBots, as he now has access to the most advanced technology the world has ever seen. And offering to sell it to Madeline Pynch.
Yep, Greg Ellis still voices Doctor Morocco.
Oh man, this episode! This was GOOD! A definite game changer episode to the extreme! Arguably the most climactic (and climatic) one of the season, if not of the whole series (barring the season 1 two-part finale's alternate reality). Morocco was more crafty and dangerous than ever and got a hold of top secret Cybertronian intell and technology. Speaking of said intell, it gave us some insight on the Rescue Bots' original mission before their coming to Earth, in which their "routine patrol" (as stated in the theme song) was set in the Quintessa Quadrant. The alone opens up a whole new set of questions and curiosities related to the greater continuity. And let's not forget Heatwave's Rescan into a fireboat. I'm not expecting us to get the other ones for Optimus, Bumblebee, and Blades, but that we got Heatwave's was pretty cool in and of itself. Now we have so much more to look forward to with this episode, here's to a grand finale to come in seven more episodes.
