![]() High Tide's (quoted above) quip about gumption is a paraphrase of Lou Grant's famous quote from the first episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show - "You know what? You've got spunk! I hate spunk!".Hightide calls the Rescue Bots a crew of hatchlings.Doc Greene's floating lab is destroyed.I hate gumption! So stay out of things that aren't your concern, ya hear me?" "Ah, ya got gumption, blip, I'll give ya that. "When I want your life story, I'll ask for it! Understand, flyboy?" Y'see one day, just after we'd arrived on Earth-" "What are you supposed to be? Some oversized skeeter-bot?" "Is this about the time I accidentally sank Heatwave?" High Tide leaves Servo with the team and heads off. Optimus asks him to stay on at Griffin Rock to help, since the floating lab was destroyed. Graham phones Mayor Luskey with the bad news.īack at the fire house, High Tide compliments the Rescue Bots on their work and admits maybe his management style could use work. The four Rescue Bots take the cap underwater and with some help from High Tide in his Megabot Mode, manage to use it to cap the oil shaft. The oil rig is starting to collapse, so Blades uses his winch to steady it long enough for the others to get the Greenes and the new cap to safety. Heatwave arrives to help and after loading his tanks with oil dispersant, he, Boulder and Chase head in to pick up the Greenes. After ejecting Kade from his cabin, High Tide heads underwater and tries unsuccessfully to seal the breached cap with a boulder. With the sea around them in flames, Doc Greene calls the emergency line, and High Tide brings the Rescue Bots to render assistance. Indeed, at that moment the existing cap breaks, unleashing an oil spill which promptly catches fire thanks to some of the exposed wiring on the oil rig. That night, Chief hears about how well their day went and is impressed to meet Servo.ĭoc Greene has obtained a new oil cap, but he's also found that the area of seabed is too unstable for further drilling. Heatwave jumps in and rescues both Chase and Servo. Blades takes too long, causing High Tide to yell at him, which results in Chase accidentally being knocked into the water. For the next drill, High Tide has Servo pretend to be a drowning victim and instructs Blades on rescuing the dog. High Tide dives in and uses his submarine mode to pull Boulder to safety. After taking a jump in the air, things suddenly go wrong for Boulder as he's sent straight down towards an underwater trench. As Boulder doesn't have a mode applicable to water rescues, High Tide gives him a Cybertronian-sized surf board, and though Boulder protests he's never learned to ride one before, he soon gets the hang of it. High Tide brings out Servo, a robot dog which starts cleaning up the spilled oil, but when Chase objects to the idea of the oil being swept overboard, High Tide gives him swabbing duties. The next day, High Tide lines the Rescue Bots on his ship to inspect the troops, but his aggressive approach leads to Blades tripping over some oil drums. As the smoke alarm signals that the meatloaf Dani is making has finished cooking and the humans all go to attempt to eat it, Optimus suggests that High Tide get help working with humans by taking along Cody. The Burns family will use their old vehicles while the four Bots are busy being taught and Optimus additionally confides to Chief that High Tide will hopefully learn from the Rescue Bots too. Heatwave is about to give the newcomer a piece of his mind when Optimus Prime arrives and introduces him to High Tide.īack at the firehouse, Optimus explains he called High Tide to Earth to give the Rescue Bots some sea training. The giant Autobot transforms into a ship and carries Heatwave back to land, where the top of the ship detaches to transform into a smaller bot. Heatwave starts to be pulled under, however just as they're worrying that there's no one around to answer their SOS, a huge robot rises out of the sea and plucks Heatwave from the whirlpool. As they head for Drilling Platform number 6 to check out the stability of the seabed, they suddenly encounter a whirlpool. ![]() ![]() Cody thinks he spots a sea monster, but it's just a smudge on his binoculars, as Frankie points out. The Greenes, Graham, and Cody are taking a ride on Heatwave out to sea.
