%%* LawOfChromaticSuperiority

[[folder:Autobot Rescue Force Sigma-17/Rescue Bots]]

%%* BadassCrew: A non-combat version.
%%* CarFu

* FriendToAllLivingThings

%%* CoolOldGuy

%%* GrumpyOldMan

Leader of the Autobots, who gave the Rescue Bots their mission. He appears mainly via view-screen.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SupportingLeader

!!Function: Scout

Legendary Autobot Scout, war hero, and member of Optimus Prime's team of Autobots. As seen in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', Bumblebee lost his voice box in the line of duty (really, it was Megatron torturing him, but this was glossed over) and possesses a unique form of speech.

* SuddenlySpeaking: [[spoiler: He speaks in "Uninvited Guest". None of the Rescue Bots nor the Burns family recognize his voice at first until he reveals himself.]]

[[folder:Humans]]

!Burns Family

* TheCommissionerGordon: Not only does he fulfil this role but he even looks like the spitting image of the [=GCPD=] Commissioner too.
* DaChief: Both the Chief of Ploice but also a Rescue Station Chief.
* GoodParents: He's shown to have a loving relationship with his kids.
* TheLeader: Due to the rescue team being made up of his children ''and'' being the chief of Police, he naturally has this role.
* OnlySaneMan: He's the least crazy in the family.

* TheBigGuy: Just like his father, Kade is one of the more larger and muscular members of the family.

* BreakTheHaughty: Quite a lot of episodes in the show have him get into trouble due to his rather abrasive and irritable attitude.

* FantasticRacism: Downplayed. Kade first thinks of the bots as just vehicles/tools for a long while before growing bonds close enough to consider them as family.

* TheLancer: Often plays this role to either his father, Cody or Heatwave.
* FireForgedFriends: Pun aside, he starts off with a bitof FantasticRacism before steadily becoming close friends with Heatwave.

* TheSmartGuy

Cody's older sister and Griffin Rock rescue helicopter pilot. Unlike her partner Blades, Dani loves flying and has trouble getting along with Blades due to his fear of heights, but eventually learns how to work with him.

* AcePilot
* ActionGirl: One of her hobbies is rock-climbing.
* TheChick
* [[DrivesLikeCrazy Flies Like Crazy]]: Poor Blades thinks so.

* ImprobablePilotingSkills: She can fly Blades ''upside-down''!
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: A more action oriented, tough Masculine Girl to Blades' softer, nervous Feminine Boy. A non-romantic example.

!Other

A scientist of Griffon Rock who disappeared years ago when she went to stop the Griffon Rock Triangle with her sub-aquatic ship the Midgard. In the present day the Rescue team found her and with her help stopped the Triangle. She now live in Griffon Rock.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Frankie does love her, but is still irked a lot by her tendency to get into her things.

!!Doctor Thaddeus Morocco
-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TimCurry (season 1), Creator/GregEllis (season 2 and onward)

The recurring antagonist of the series. Dr. Thaddeus Morocco is a mad scientist who invents things to cause damage. He is behind several of the incidents that occurred in Griffin Rock. He plotted revenge against Chief Charlie Burns, Mayor Luskey, and Doc Greene for making him an outcast.
-----
* BigBad: Morocco is the closest the series has come to an over-arching villain.
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Sort of, in "Back to Virtual Reality", in the form of a sentient computer virus modeled after him.]]
* EvilBrit: He speaks in a British accent.
* EvilGenius: While he may have stolen a lot of his inventions rather than discover them, Morocco is still a brilliant scientist having [[spoiler:reverse engineered Dither and building an empire out of technology made far from his day in an alternate future]].
* EvilVirtues: While the man has many faults, ''many'', a lack of gratitude is apparently not one of them since he once saved the Burns family from drowning after they first saved him from a salvage fiasco when he could have simply left them all to die.
%%* FauxAffablyEvil
* FountainOfYouth: Thaddeus Morocco seems to have invented (stolen) a machine that has kept him in the prime of his youth instead of a old man, as seen in "Bot to the Future".
* [[spoiler: HeelFaceBrainwashing: In a way. Jules Verne wipes his memory so he returns to how he was before he turned to crime.]]
* HighClassGlass: He has a monocle.
* KarmaHoudini: He tends to weasel out of any comeuppance he appears to get [[spoiler:until he is brought to justice at the end of season two.]]
* KillerRobot: His Morbots. [[spoiler: Thanks to technology he stole from the firehouse, they can be pretty much considered homemade Decepticons.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: He's a pretty sinister villain, especially since the show had no real antagonists until he came along.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste
* MechaMooks: His Morbots, again.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's a villainous inventor with the title of Doctor.
* OlderThanTheyLook [[spoiler: Back before he used the machine to keep him at his prime, he used to be friends with Jules Verne.]]
* SuckSessor: Attempts to replace Dr. Greene as the island's chief scientist. He also tries to use his Morbots to replace the Burns family and the Rescue Bots.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: At first his Morbot shows up the Rescue Bots at every turn, saving people faster than before and quickly solving all of the hazards that Morocco creates. Prescott is quick to praise the rescue bot at the expense of the team and the Mayor puts an unreasonable amount of faith in such a shady man. After Morocco takes over, this starts to wane with the Morbot's DestructiveSavior antics causing far more havoc than helping. Prescott and most of the town turn on him after that (without the heroes needing to expose him as a fraud), but Morocco is indifferent, having access to Doc Greene's inventions, and the Mayor's blind faith still in hand.
* WickedCultured: The guy wears a monocle and was voiced by Creator/TimCurry. 'Nuff said.

The resident news reporter.

* IntrepidReporter

%%* GrumpyBear

* CuteMachines: The entire team is arguably cute, due to either the cartoon's ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''-esque aesthetic or each of [[GrumpyBear their endearing]] [[BruiserWithASoftCenter personalities]], but Blades takes the cake. Seriously, he reaches dangerously ''WesternAnimation/WallE'' levels of cuteness from time to time.

%%* GrumpyBear

* NiceHat: Acquires one after scanning his alt mode. Fittingly enough, it's a fireman's helmet.

* DitzyGenius / IdiotBall: Had some trouble processing that a ''lion'' wasn't exactly the best choice for a TeamPet.

* NatureLovingRobot: See above.

* ButtMonkey: In the beginning, at least.
