| {{anchor|Cy-Kill}}'''[[Cy-Kill (GoBots)|Cy-Kill]]'''
| Motorcycle
| Exceptionally theatrical leader of the Renegades. He was formerly a Guardian who rebelled and took leadership of the scattered Renegade terrorist faction when his comrade [[Leader-1 (GoBots)|Leader-1]] was promoted over him. After being stranded in [[Axiom Nexus]], he briefly served as a guest host to replace [[Vector Prime]] when he was absent; his column, "Renegade Rhetoric", proved very popular with audiences in the [[Quadwal|Quadwal Cluster]], and when he returned to his home dimension to continue his war against the Guardians, he continued to provide summaries of his plans for his interdimensional audience.
| Cy-Kill has inspired a [[Cy-Kill (disambiguation)|legion of imitators]], almost all of whom have a habit of immediately dying horribly.

|-
| {{anchor|Crasher}}'''[[Crasher (GoBots)|Crasher]]'''
| Porsche 956
| One of Cy-Kill's most trusted lieutenants, a cackling Renegade madwoman able to send energy crackling through the ground with her powerful seismic stomps, and is rivals with the Guardian speedster [[Turbo (GoBots)|Turbo]], but Cy-Kill thinks her obsession with him borders on the unhealthy. After Cy-Kill returned from Axiom Nexus, she and Cop-Tur hacked its airwaves to publicly reveal the final members of the [[Convoy (group)|Convoy]].
| Crasher was the inspiration for [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]]. [[Vector Prime]] believed that at some point, a version of Crasher from a Gargent reality was displaced to a [[Tyran]] stream and actually ''became'' Fracture. It was also implied that she wound up in [[Malgus 1207.26 Alpha|the ''Animated'' universe]].

| {{anchor|Cop-Tur}}'''[[Cop-Tur (GoBots)|Cop-Tur]]'''
| Helicopter
| Cy-Kill's top hench-thug, not known for his smarts. After Cy-Kill returned from Axiom Nexus, he and Crasher hacked its airwaves to publicly reveal the final members of the [[Convoy (group)|Convoy]].
| Cop-Tur was the inspiration for the [[Cop-Tur (G1)|''Timelines'' character]] of the same name.

| {{anchor|Bad Boy}}'''[[Bad Boy]]'''
| A-10 Thunderbolt
| A cocky, sarcastic thug with a penchant for violence, the young Bad Boy is purportedly one of Cy-Kill's most loyal Renegades — that is, until something better comes his way. He occasionally acts as a saboteur and spy, and was one of a team of GoBots sent across the dimensions to investigate the origins of a mysterious [[Cataclysm (GoBots)|Cataclysm]] that threatened to destroy their universe.
| One the "[[G1 GoBots]]" released by [[TakaraTomy]].

| {{anchor|Bug Bite}}'''[[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]]'''
| Volkswagen Beetle
| Bug Bite was once a member of a "lost" group of GoBots that dwelled beneath Gobotron's surface, but joined up with Cy-Kill when his leader [[#Gunnyr|Gunnyr]] was deposed. The brilliant but amoral Bug Bite was one of a team of GoBots sent across the dimensions to investigate the origins of a mysterious [[Cataclysm (GoBots)|Cataclysm]] that threatened to destroy their universe, but once free of his faction leader's supervision, he made a power play and tried mind-controlling [[Decepticon]]s to overthrow the local [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]].
| One the "[[G1 GoBots]]" released by [[TakaraTomy]]. Later had an exclusive [[BotCon 2007]] figure.

| {{anchor|BuggyMan}}'''[[BuggyMan]]'''
| Meyer Manx dune buggy (original)<br>Generic dune buggy (disguise)
| Cy-Kill considers him a competent officer with good judgement and an appropriate level of initiative (and someone who can utilize Clutch's obsessive personality), and often leaves him in charge of [[Thruster]]s. Among his escapades includes abducting [[Guardian (GoBots)#Anya Turgenova|Anya Turgenova]] so the Renegades could make their own Space Hawks. In some timelines, he likes to call himself "the Buggyman" and pretend to be a creepy nutjob with a bug obsession because that means you'll underestimate him...
| His Cybertronian-style body in ''[[Spatiotemporal Challengers]]'' is a prototype red version of [[Beachcomber (G1)#Toys|Beachcomber]].

| {{anchor|Doctor Go}}'''[[Doctor Go]]'''
| Porsche 928S
| The Renegades' resident mad scientist. Also known as "Herr Fiend". Many a wacky scheme can be attributed to his work, and he's also a talented doctor who doesn't need to turn into an ambulance to show it, unlike ''some'' people. When the Cataclysm threatened reality, it was Go/Fiend/Gofiend's science that allowed the GoBots to send a team into interdimensional space to investigate.
| "Herr Fiend" was the name of his toy; "Doctor Go" was the name he was given in the ''GoBots'' cartoon.<br>A version of [[Herr Fiend]] lives in Axiom Nexus.

| {{anchor|Puzzler}}'''[[Puzzler]]'''
| Combiner
| Cy-Kill was fed up of [[Guardian (GoBots)#Courageous|Courageous]] so he made his own combiner! But ''his'' would have ''stylish'' components! Puzzler is formed by the merging of  '''{{gb|Zig Zag}}''' the blue Nissan 300ZX, '''{{gb|Crossword}}''' the orange Porsche 930T, '''{{gb|Pocket}}''' the yellow Lamborghini Countach, '''{{gb|Rube}}''' the black Mercedes 300SL, '''{{gb|Jigsaw}}''' the Toyota Celica XX police car, and '''{{gb|Tic Tac}}''' the red Chevrolet Corvette. Usually, these are mindless drones but the Puzzler of [[Gargent 1184.10 Gamma]] is made of living GoBots fused permanently by [[Violen Jiger|Bio Ranger Iga]] so the horror could serve as one of his [[Thirteen Great Demon Generals]]. After his trip to [[Axiom Nexus]], Cy-Kill returned home with six stolen [[spark]]s and out them in the Puzzler drones, bringing the 'bot to full life.
|Axiom Nexus demands the authorities do something about the missing sparks via the  #savethesix campaign.

| {{anchor|Stretch}}'''[[Stretch]]'''
|[[TUX model mega-limo]]/Rolls-Royce Phantom VI
| Originally a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Malgus|Malgus Cluster]], Stretch was a [[TUX model mega-limo]] belonging to [[Porter C. Powell]] who was brought to life by an [[AllSpark]] fragment. Vain and status-obsessed, Stretch nearly bankrupted Powell until his former owner called upon rival [[Isaac Sumdac (Animated)|Isaac Sumdac]] to use a [[space bridge]] to banish him across the dimensions. Arriving in the Gargent Cluster, Stretch was recruited to the Renegades by [[#Loco|Loco]].
| "Tux" was the name his toy was released under; he was named "Stretch" in the ''GoBots'' cartoon. ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Animated]]'' featured a limousine based on his toy, which was brought to life in ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac]]'' and sent into the GoBots dimension to actually ''become'' the GoBots character.

| {{anchor|Zero}}'''[[Zero]]'''
| Mitsubishi A6M Zero-sen
| A powerful Renegade who clashed with Cy-Kill back when the murderous motorcycle was still a Guardian. Years later, when Cy-Kill had taken leadership of the Renegades, Zero, jealous of his authority, staged an attempted coup with the help of a few other disgruntled Renegades. The coup failed, and while his followers returned to Cy-Kill's side, Zero was forced into hiding. He later ran into the Master Renegade and the pair teamed up to conquer Gobotron with a matter-eating super-algae. Fighting between the pair led the Master Renegade to betray Zero, and his schemes were undone.
| Zero's treachery was the subject of only one episode of the ''GoBots'' cartoon, but it was a memorable enough tale that it set the tone for his return appearances in "Renegade Rhetoric" and ''Timelines''. An ''Animated'' incarnation of Zero also exists who may or may not be the GoBot, displaced from his home reality.

| {{anchor|Blades}}{{gb|Blades}}
| Mil Mi-24 'Hind' helicopter gunship
| A stoic, fatalistic Renegade. He once cosplayed as Inuyasha to help Cy-Kill infiltrate a science fiction convention.
| Toy was released under the name "Night Fright." "Renegade Rhetoric" retroactively justified this discontinuity by having Cy-Kill note that Blades would have to change his name after Blade'''''z''''' joined the Renegades. The GoBotronic in the story "[[Cultural Appropriation]]" lists that Blades traveled to [[Viron 102.0 Beta|Level 44]] due to the Cataclysm.

| Anger management issues. Member of the '''Instigation Mini-Con Team''', a trio of [[Aurex|Aurex Cluster]] [[Mini-Con]]s encountered by Cy-Kill during his time in Axiom Nexus. Tired of being treated like second-class citizens by the larger Transformers, they decided to become Renegades and returned to Cy-Kill's home dimension with him when he departed.

| Part of a Guardian expedition that left Gobotron in the distant past, Decker Decker resented his ship's captain [[Guardian (GoBots)#Hi-Way|Hi-Way]]. Upon their return to Gobotron in the present day, Cy-Kill used mind-control to exacerbate Hi-Way's worst qualities, thereby convincing Decker Decker to join the Renegades.
| Decker Decker is an original character created for "Renegade Rhetoric", based on a ''Machine Robo'' toy that never made it into the ''GoBots'' toyline.

Psycho's not a bad actor either; nobody expected that but when Crasher refused to play Ruth in ''Pirates of Penzance'', Psycho performed admirably.

Slicks was also one of the GoBots abducted by the ancient [[Guerr-O-Vac]] supercomputer and forced to fight in the [[Arena of Strife]]; he defeated [[Guardian (GoBots)#Van Guard|Van Guard]] with speed and cunning.

| GoBotic Pulverizer Mark VII tank
| Slow and bad at names, but he has almost impenetrable armor and incredible firepower. In [[Gargent 087.0 Kappa|Strata 22]], Tank was one of Cy-Kill's elite lieutenants and was part of a plan to recruit the Autobot [[Spy Changer]]s; this backfired and the Renegades lost.

===[[Monster GoBot]]s===
The Monster GoBots are (mostly) creations of the [[#Master Renegade|Master Renegade]]. They are loosely aligned with the Renegades and often come from [[Antares 3|Antares III]]. In an [[Echoes and Fragments|'amalgam' reality]], most took the place of [[Quintesson]] minions. Many of them seem to have found their way to the [[Primax 209.0 Gamma]] after the Cataclysm, where some have been spotted making dirty deals. Trust them at your peril!

Latest revision as of 23:24, 5 February 2024

The name or term "Renegade" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Renegade (disambiguation).
"...And so, we have our human ally namedrop over a hundred GoBots characters, ruining the wiki forever!"

A terrorist organization on the then-organic world of Gobotron, the Renegades thwarted the peacekeeping efforts of the Guardians, the primary law enforcement on the planet. Under the machinations of the Master Renegade, these insurgent cells eventually committed the act of sabotage that resulted in a meteor rendering Gobotron uninhabitable to organic life.

Long after the population had been converted into cyborg chassis called GoBots to protect their organic brains, and after the original conflict and organic origins of Gobotron had passed into myth, the Guardian Cy-Kill would seek to rule Gobotron. Defecting from the Guardians to lead a reconstituted force of Renegades, war swept over the world once again.

Fiction

[edit]

Renegade Rhetoric

[edit]

Cy-Kill claims in propaganda that the Master Renegade wanted to overthrow the nasty Guardians and it was them that made the planet uninhabitable. This is a fib. What is the case is that the Master Renegade fled into hiding and the remaining, mechanical Renegades were constantly pushed back (and some like Gunnyr went literally underground, to the sub-levels of the planet!) However, after almost being killed mopping up Renegade strays, the Guardian Cy-Kill decided he wanted to run the planet and formed a whole new Renegade army to ensure it would happen!

Though hear him tell it and, while he uses violence, he's trying to overthrow a cloyingly moralistic oppressive regime. C.S. Lewis would agree with him! Renegade Rhetoric (1)

Zero tried to create his own Renegade faction, recruiting from people dissenting with Cy-Kill, but his schemes were thwarted. Renegade Rhetoric, 2015/10/15

After multiple clashes, Cy-Kill was lost in Axiom Nexus and the Guardians pressed the advantage. As the Renegades fell on all fronts, Renegade Rhetoric (2) Cy-Kill began to form a whole new Renegade squad out of disgruntled Cybertronians and spread propaganda to the masses when Axiom Nexus News failed to do background checks. He finally escaped back to his universe Renegade Rhetoric (1) and the Renegades fought back once more, until the Combiner Wars on Quartex shattered them. Renegade Rhetoric (2)

Cy-Kill claims he'll rename the Renegades "GoBot Liberation Army" once they've won and says that Renegades is a fine rebel name, not like Decepticons, what the hell's up with that? Renegade Rhetoric (1)

Timelines

[edit]

Years later in a divergent timeline, much to Cy-Kill's ire, the Renegades had to team up with the Guardians and humans to stop a great Cataclysm from the universe. A cross-factional team was sent into dimensional space to investigate Withered Hope and later a second, even as Cy-Kill championed interdimensional evacuation or even outright invasion. Sunrise

Unknown to anyone else, Zero and BuggyMan had their own plan in mind High Noon and unknown to most, many the Monster Renegades had already evacuated to another reality. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/14

Ask Vector Prime

[edit]

Gong and Sideways once mucked around with a Gargent reality and a Primax reality, tuning the latter into a reality where the Renegades were first existing in place of the Decepticons in 2005, and then had always been allied to the Decepticons. It got weird. Echoes and Fragments

Notes

[edit]
  • The Axiom Nexus crew are all GoBots toys that never made it to the show. The "Mini-Cons" (who Cy-Kill says come from "Aurex something something I think") are small Wendy's exclusives, the "Decepticons" are large Super GoBots toys, and the Predacons who form Monsterous are a combiner pack.
