| The name or term "Zero" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Zero (disambiguation). |
- Zero is a Renegade from the GoBots continuity family.
Zero is a Renegade who turns into a Mitsubishi A6M Zero-sen. This plane-transforming high-ranking villain wishes to depose his boss and take control of the Renegades himself, and has big schemes for it that go awry and may threaten the very species in his quest for power...
...hang on, guys, we've done this profile before.
We haven't, he's totally an unrelated character? Huh.
Fiction
Renegade Rhetoric
Cy-Kill says he first began to question Guardian propaganda when Zero showed him mercy in a battle at Parthus. In a burst of propaganda, he implied Zero was totally a goodie and those mean old Guardians were the baddies. Renegade Rhetoric, 14/10/2015
Centuries later, Zero was Cy-Kill's deputy sub-commander. This wasn't enough for him and he turned traitor, taking advantage of one of Cy-Kill's rare defeats to convince a few wayward Renegades to defect with him. Bad Boy captured Crasher for him, allowing him to used her as bait to lure Cy-Kill to the boobytrapped Dendron Beta. Unfortunately for him, Cy-Kill was able to not only elude the trap and rescue his officer, but convince Zero's men to rejoin the Renegades proper. Zero was forced into hiding for his crimes.
He was eventually replaced as deputy sub-commander of the Renegades by Gunnyr. Renegade Rhetoric, 15/10/2015
Timelines
One time, Gong and Sideways smooshed the timelines together for a laugh and created an amalgamated world where GoBots and Transformers co-existed in 2005. Zero was part of a raid on an Autobot shuttle and, after time-space blipped again, a raid on Guardian City. He dumped Megatron out of a shuttle and got blasted by Galvatron a short time later for his trouble. Echoes and Fragments
Years later, Zero's universe was on the eve of destruction. Zero grew fed up with the GoBots' response to the Cataclysm and secretly worked with the Buggyman on their own plan: restarting the GoBot race all over again if their universe fell! With a new Super Voyager body constructed, Zero prepared to head for a new reality when the Buggyman told him all was going to plan. High Noon
Animated cartoon
Zero was held at Trypticon Prison. The AllSpark Almanac II
Notes
- Animated Zero has not been definitively confirmed to be GoBots Zero, but the author says so!
- The Guardian propagandists at Hanna-Barbara claim that Zero actually tried to kill Cy-Kill, and getting his butt kicked (and Leader-1 doing better than him) was what made him join the Renegades.
- Zero being a traitor is a reference to the GoBots episode "The Third Column", in which Zero splits from the Renegades.
- Events in the episode don't happen exactly as Cy-Kill describes them, though whether that's a matter of his ego blinding him to the truth, hints that the universe Cy-Kill originates in is not the Challenge of the Gobots universe, or simply him exaggerating is unclear.
