"Transformers Rescue Bots," animated series, created especially for younger TRANSFORMERS fans, returns for its second season on Saturday, March 1, with two all-new, back-to-back episodes starting at 1:00 p.m. ET/ 10 a.m. PT, on the HUB Network, a destination for kids and their families. Beginning on Saturday, March 8, new episodes of the show will air at 1:30 p.m. ET/10:30 a.m. PT. The series is produced by Hasbro Studios. In addition, HubNetwork.com will launch a fun-filled new match game called "Hero Hunt."

The second season of "Transformers Rescue Bots" kicks off with action-packed, episode "Road Trip", where a tricky transporter takes Cody for a crazy ride and Kade takes on a high-flying rescue mission. The second episode, "Sky Forest" has Cody and Frankie going head to head in a town inventor contest, leading to a jealous divide between the two. To make matters worse, Frankie's Contest entry gets out of control, not only threatening her friendship with Cody and the Bots, but the safety of the entire island.

In the digital Rescue Bots game "Hero Hunt," fans can get the Bots ready to roll by making the correct match and the more matches they make, the more points they score. Players will be challenged to complete each mission and see if they can make it to the end of the game. Viewers can get into the action at http://hubnetwork.com/herohunt.
