11	!Trainees
12	!!Hot Shot
13	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rba_hotshot.jpg]]
14	->'''Voiced by:''' Pierce Cravens
15	The Rescue Bots' newest trainee. He was called by none other than Optimus Prime to arrive on Earth to stay with the Rescue Bots.
16	----
17	* CharacterDevelopment: Most of the show involves Hot Shot learning a valuable lesson. Either involving him letting go of his ego, or about being more serious and dedicated to rescue work.
18	* FragileSpeedster: Being a natural athlete, Hot Shot is fast on his feet. Virtually all of his alt-modes emphasis speed. Though limited armor and a smaller size also make him vulnerable.
19	* FriendlyRivalry: With Wedge.
20	* ItsAllAboutMe: He can be self-centered at times.
21
22	!!Whirl
23	[[quoteright:253:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rba_whirl.jpg]]
24	->'''Voiced by:''' Courtney Shaw
25	A Rescue Bot who is aspiring to become a police officer.
26	----
27	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: G1 Whirl was a CyberCyclops without much in the way of facial features, this version has a far cuter visage with the addition of a humanoid face and nice {{Fembot}} body.
28	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Most incarnations of Whirl are AxCrazy {{Blood Knight}}s. This Whirl, meanwhile, is a GenkiGirl.
29	* BadassAdorable: She's positively adorable between her energy and enthusiasm for police work. Of course, don't let that stop you from having faith in her as a Rescue Bot.
30	* DecompositeCharacter: If [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:RBA-Ep20-TwoWhirls.jpg this]] blink-and-you-miss-it cameo is any indication, this Whirl is separate from the main [[Franchise/TransformersAlignedUniverse Aligned-verse]] [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Whirl_(FOC) incarnation of Whirl]].
31	* GenderFlip: A female take on the traditionally-male Whirl. Subverted since she’s a separate character.
32	* GenkiGirl: She is most definitely a cheerful and upbeat girl.
33	* NiceGirl: Out of all the recruits, she is the nicest one.
34	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She is the only female trainee in the academy and therefore the only female in the show's main cast.
35	* TokenFlyer: Of the Rescue Bot trainees, Whirl is the only one lacking a ground-based vehicle mode. Averted after they get the multicog.
36
37	!!Medix
38	[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rba_medix.jpg]]
39	->'''Voiced by:''' Adam Andrianopoulous
40	A Rescue Bot in training.
41	----
42	* TheComicallySerious: Much like Chase before him, he tends to be stoic and unemotional and prone to saying bizarre things without realizing the absurdity of his statements.
43	* TheMedic: He specializes in mending the others' injuries.
44	* PlayfulHacker: He demonstrates he can be a hacker in "Glitch".
45	* RelatedInTheAdaptation: He's Ratchet's nephew in this series, when his incarnation in the original ''Rescue Bots'' toyline gave no indication that he was related to any other Transformer.
46
47	!!Hoist
48	[[quoteright:262:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rba_hoist.jpg]]
49	->'''Voiced by:''' Alan Trinca
50	One of the trainees at the Rescue Bot Training Center.
51	----
52	* AnimalMecha: [[spoiler:His fellow recruits all chose a secondary vehicle mode when they received multi-cogs. As for Hoist? Since his mentor was Grimlock, he decided he wanted a beast mode instead. And not just any beast. He decided on a T-Rex just like the big guy.]]
53	* GadgeteerGenius: He invents some tools for his teammates in "If At First...".
54
55	!!Wedge

93	----

129	!Tough Luck Chuck
130	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px_rba___tough_luck_chuck_6.jpg]]
131	[[caption-width-right:300:]]
132	->'''Voiced by:''' Todd Perlmutter
133	The Rescue Bots' Cybertrobian test dummy. He always plays the victim for the Rescue Bots' simulated rescues, and can also give helpful advices and report the status of the mission. He gets abused a lot, especially in Hot Shot's hands.
134	----
135	* CharacterTitle: The fourth episode is titled after him.
136	* TheChewToy: Being a robotic crash test dummy, he mainly exists to be subjected to abuse that would be crippling if he were a living being.
137
138	!Laserbeak
139	An ex-Decepticon Mini-Con with no intention on returning to the crime and warfare that it entailed. He stays at the Academy partly out of gratitude for being helped, and partly because he doesn't quite know where else to go.
140	----
141	* HeelFaceReturn: He was last seen under Soundwave's employ, having fought by his side until they were apprehended by Team Bee and Optimus. By the time of ''Academy'', he was either found innocent of any wrongdoing or has served enough of his sentence to be considered free of any criminal record.
142	* IntellectualAnimal: Laserbeak is perfectly sentient like any other Mini-Con, but otherwise resembles and sounds like a typical (robotic) condor.
143	* OldShame: The primary reason he doesn't formally sign up with the Academy, and presumably the reason for his constant urge to break things, is a feeling that he'll never be much more than a Decepticon.
