Rescue Bots

• Heatwave the Fire-Bot and Kade Burns(Figure 2-pack, 2013)

Part of the first wave ofRescue BotsFigure 2-packs, Kade Burns is a completely non-articulated PVC figure. He is relativelyshow accurate,but has the same proportions as the previously-releasedRescue Botshumans.

He came with a larger, articulated PVC figure of his partnerHeatwave.

There's that winning smile.

• Griffin Rock Garage(Adventure Playset, 2016)

Available only with theGriffin Rock Garageplayset, this version of Kade is much more show-accurate. He now has moving arms (they're one piece so they both move at once) and open hands to grip5 mm postaccessories... such as pack-inMini-ConpoochFireplugin his water cannon mode.

Notes

• A running gag in the cartoon involves the copious amounts of food that Kade consumes. This actually becomes a plot point in some episodes, such as "Too Many Kades","Bot-Tastic Voyage",and"Enemy of My Enemy".
