PAW Patrol Spinoff Rubble & Crew Features New and Returning Characters
The description of Rubble & Crew reads, “Set in the community of Builder Cove, a neighboring town toย PAW Patrol‘sย Adventure Bay,ย Rubble & Crewย centers on Rubble, the funny and optimistic leader of the construction crew. In the small, quickly growing town, lots of things are still needed for the community to come together, including a bigger airport, train station, bridges, tunnels, schools, fire stations, parks and more. Rubble and his construction pup family–his pup cousins Mix, Wheeler, Charger, Motor, along with Grandpa Gravel and Auntie Crane–must work together to tackle and build all the projects the town needs.”
Rubble & Crew will introduce new characters to the PAW Patrol franchise, while also bringing in familiar guest stars that fans will surely recognize:
- Mix, a construction chemist handling all things concrete, glue, cement and custom paints;
- Wheeler, the clean machine for this Builder Cove team, who does not like to get dirty and bolts away to clean up every mess;
- Charger, a big energy pup (especially when he gets a case of the zoomies!) who is kind and always eager to help out or dig into a new construction project;
- Motor, the tiniest and youngest pup who is a valuable member of the construction crew and looking for ways to be a good helper with her power smash-it energy;
- Grandpa Gravel, Rubble’s grandpa, the family kibble chef who supplies the team with snacks from his tasty food truck;
- Auntie Crane, Rubble’s auntie, who runs the supply warehouse and makes sure all the pups are loaded up and ready to build;
- Speed Meister, who runs the rival construction company in town along with his slow-moving villainous sidekick, Mr. McTurtle–together they build fast and sorta good;
- And Mayor Greatway, Adventure Bay Mayor Goodway’s sister, a motorcycle-riding bubbly bundle of friendliness and her pet, Mr. Ducky-Doo.
