Mr. Big Top has run the Cosmic Carnival as long as anyone can remember. A number of years ago, he abducted a human outcast named [[Berko|Berko]] and promoted him to boss of the sideshow when the grousing bald man began to do tricks for the carnival's patrons. Later, Mr. Big Top signed on a [[Spacehikers|group of human children]] and the [[Autobot|Autobot]] [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] when the latter brought the children on board without any form of payment. 


Sky Lynx's resulting fame caught the attention of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and a group of travelling Autobots. When the Autobots boarded and asked if Sky Lynx and the children could be released, Mr. Big Top cited their binding contracts and gave Optimus Prime and his companion Goldbug free passes.
