Created by Prime Nova, Search and Rescue are the Cybertronian equivalent of emergency services. Once the first war broke out, Search and Rescue fell apart, with some of the members forming their own warbands. Several of those warbands would later rejoin the Autobots under Sentinel Prime during the second war, and then form the core of Search and Rescue again, once it was rebuilt during the third interbellum period.
Divided into:
- Security Operations
- Roughly the same as human police forces - the respond to disturbances of peace and solve crimes
- Somewhat more limited in scope: certain crimes may be handled privately (given that Cybertronians don’t tend to have many possessions, theft falls under this), though in those cases the private person may request Security Operations to help
- Paramedics/Medical First Response
- Medical emergencies
- Psychological crisis response
- Engineering corps
- Firefighters
- Building safety
- Infrastructure maintenance (roads, pipes, etc.)
