Rescue Bots Academy headcanons (with a touch of angst)

Hotshot has a (rather poorly) hidden inferiority complex

Heatwave unintentionally adopted Hotshot

Neither has any idea how it happened, Hotshot just became Heatwave's son one day

Blurr has visited the Academy at some point, and he was both glad and upset at how Heatwave has changed

On the one hand, he's happy the recruits and especially Hotshot are getting a good mentor,

But on the other, he's upset that he never got that version of Heatwave, and sometimes he wonders if it's his own fault

Grimlock treats Dinomode Hoist like a dog treats its puppy

Hoist has been scruffed on several occasions

Medix loves bats

Even before the incident with Mr. Flappy, he collected books about bats and loved watching documentaries about them

Autistic Medix, Wedge, and Hoist

ADHD Whirl and Hotshot

None of the recruits have any idea their teachers (except Heatwave) have more than one alt mode

Whirl is a scraplet colony, specifically the one Whirl Sr. Adopted in MTMTE

Whirl Jr. aroace

Colonies of metal-eating pests don't have much interest in romance, as it turns out

Ratchet changed for the better when he found out about Medix

While he is no longer afraid of dinobots, Hoist still finds actual dinosaurs a bit unnerving

This probably has to do with them being organic

While training to use a hose, Hotshot nearly passed out. Several times.

While bats are his favorite, Medix loves most types of animals

The only exception to this is deep-sea creatures

He does not understand them and he does not want to understand them

Wedge has had a brother

The way Medix's family found out he could magnetize was by finding him on the ceiling

Whirl Jr, in her most basic state, looks like a bot-shaped scraplet, with a silver body, solid blue optics, and thin limbs

A lot of bots find this appearance unnerving
