They review a Rescue Briefing, select a mission and get familiar with using a map to better understand the challenge that lies ahead. Then it's time to take action! The first task is to select the correct gear for the mission at hand. Once suited up, little adventure seekers head to the scene, avoiding hazards and remembering to collect Energon to power up. To complete the rescue mission, little ones must identify landforms, hazards and more. When the mission's complete, they use their newly acquired knowledge to disable the Disaster Machine.
