Some might speculate that Hooligan fights in the arena because he is forced to, but they would be wrong—Hooligan really loves to fight!

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

This character appeared exclusively in the UK portion of the Marvel Comics continuity.

When the Jekka Amphitheatre was reopened by an alliance between the Decepticons and the alien Zabra, Hooligan spent his days killing scores of weak, helpless Autobots and other prisoners, including Chameleon, in front of a paying audience. This reign of terror was brought to an end when Hooligan was pitted against Ultra Magnus, who wiped the floor with him and Zabra too. Magnus made an impassioned speech about the sanctity of life and Hooligan was presumably incarcerated or exiled, rather than executed. Deadly Games!

Notes

• Mil-Wal is identified as Hooligan's home planet on the cover of Marvel UK #171 (as seen to the right). This is an obvious reference to [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Millwall F.C.|{{#if:||Millwall F.C.}}]], a British football team with a reputation for hooliganism amongst their fans.
