TX3000

"Now a Rescue Bot, when he picked up the TX3000, he would have immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the tool."

The TX3000 is a multi-purpose tool used by Rescue Bots in their rescue work. Its functions include an icer jet, which sends forth a freezing beam of ice; a laser, for cutting; a rescue net; and rescue beacons, which point rescuers to those in need of rescue. They require a little training to use, if one wants to avoid unfortunate mishaps.

After some encouragement from Cody Burns, Hot Shot put in some TX3000 practice to improve his skills. The TX3000
