Shoutout to the 2 people out there who remember the rescue cats au, they have redesigns now 😌
I made a page for Volume 2 of the Rescue Bots Zine by @turbofox-zines, which dropped preorders in February and is hopefully entering the shipping phase soon!
This was such a fun opportunity and I love how everyone’s work turned out!
Now for the rambling below vvv
I went into this project wanting to depict as many characters from the main cast as I could, while giving everyone a chance to shine and interact with each other in some less common combinations. This show is really nostalgic for me so I wanted to create a scene that shows that, even years in the future, they all still get together and hang out :) (I haven’t watched all of Academy so this isn’t necessarily compliant with that though haha)
I chose for the setting to be at this time (like twilight ig?) and on a beach to get some summer-y vibes and imply that this piece takes place after a whole day of spending time together (also glowy lights are fun)

Rescue Bots Holiday prompts day five: snowman
It snowed here!! Not wet enough to make snowmen sadly but it gave me the drive to finally finish this
I ❤️ the Burns family so much
Shoutout to my gf for the Graham comic idea
To all those saying that the Rescue Bots wouldn't survive Prime -
You're wrong.
The cast of Prime wouldn't stand a CHANCE against the Rescue Bots, OR their partners.
Give Heatwave and Kade access to explosives, a layout of the Nemesis, maybe some cloaking devices from Griffin Rock, and then sit back and watch as the fuel lines on the Nemesis rupture, the engines explode, and it sinks like an airborne Titanic from space.
Just tell Blades that Knock Out and Airachnid were gonna grotesquely kill humans for pleasure/a personal collection of alien heads, and that Copter-Bot will go BONKERS on them, probably even rip Knock Out's saws off his hands and kill them both that way. And as his berserker rage activates, Dani - armed with one of their shrink rays, a forcefield projector/tractor beam thing from Doc, plus a single grenade - will shrink all the Vehicons left on the ship, corral them into the energon storage area, throw the grenade in, lock the room behind her, and laugh as she takes off from the ensuing explosion.
Boulder and Graham would locate every single energon mine the Decepticons had, trick the Vehicons/Insecticons into leaving for a part of the mines, and then Chase and Chief would either kill them with the volatile dregs of the energon deposits, get them to surrender or - as the case is when dealing with Insecticons - Chase will jump onto their backs and stab them straight through the neck as needed until the 'Cons raise the figurative white flag. Meanwhile, Boulder and Graham ship the energon around the planet to their friends as necessary. Boulder will also figure out how to trap Soundwave and Laserbeak in the Shadowzone, because I do not doubt he COULD do that.
High Tide would get in his exo-suit and just flipping SQUISH Starscream with his bare hands, then headbutt Megatron into the ground. He'll probably even stomp on him for good measure.
Quickshadow will cut the wire connecting Shockwave to his arm cannon, stay out of his reach for a good while, stab something through his eye and out the back of his head, then just fire a rocket at him. If that doesn't kill him, High Tide will come out of his exo-suit just to beat Shockwave to mush personally for added insult.
Cody? He's already got Breakdown separated from the rest of the Decepticons, had a heart-to-heart with him, and not only has Breakdown reconsidered his life choices, he's left the Decepticons and is fully willing to be on probation until he can become an Autobot. Cody doesn't understand why no one tried this earlier, and Bulkhead's brain is frozen in pure shock.
Salvage probably magnetized Dreadwing's weaponry/inventory out of his hands with the polarity gauntlet (Blurr stole it before Heatwave, Kade, Dani, and Blades began wrecking mayhem), then just magnetizes the guy to a large, nearby metal structure and disassembles his bombs with the intent of making fireworks out of them for the kids on Griffin Rock.
And that's before the Rescue Bots turn into dinosaurs!
The only reason this NEVER happened is because if any of the Rescue Bots left Griffin Rock for longer than five minutes, that island would turn into the modern day myth of Atlantis by either sinking to the bottom of the ocean, exploding in spectacular fashion, or just become a teleporting, phantom island.
The Rescue Bots are the literal reason that that island still exists.
P.S. If Doctor Morocco came across MECH, he'd dismiss them as amateurs, send his MorBots in to wipe them out, snap Silas' neck himself because He Could Really Do That, and then observe their work. Finding nothing of value, he'd just destroy the remains and go about his day with disappointment.
