| This article is about the RID race-car driver. For the Generation 1 race-car driver, see Auggie Cahnay (G1). |
- Auggie Cahnay is a human character from the Robots in Disguise continuity family.
Auggie Cahnay was a world-class race car driver. Now he's dead.
Fiction
Robots in Disguise cartoon
Auggie Cahnay was a world-famous race car driver tragically killed in a racing accident. He'd won every major race in the world—except the International Grand Prix. Koji Onishi was a huge fan of Auggie.
The Autobot Skid-Z became infected with (some would say possessed by) Auggie's fierce competitiveness when he scanned his car as the basis for his earth mode. Skid Z's Choice
Auggie's car
Auggie spent so much time in his Formula 1 racer, he bragged the car was almost part of him. After his death, the car was put on display in an automotive museum along with some of his winning gear.
Skid-Z thought it was a shame such a nice car was going to waste as a display piece, and scanned it to use as his Earth vehicle.
Auggie's Formula-1 racer had a gold Autobot symbol on it for some reason.
Notes
- Auggie's Japanese name, Goldbuk, is seemingly an inexplicable reference to Goldbug's Japanese name.
- Auggie's uniform, helmet and sponsor designs and colors draw a lot of similar cues to Japan's most successful Honda driver in Indy and F1, Ayrton Senna. Coincidentally, Ayrton Senna also died while racing.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Goldbuk (ゴールドバグ Gōrudobaku)
