Live fast, die young.

Auggie Cahnay was a world-class race car driver. Now he's dead.

Japanese name: Goldback

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

Because a big hard man deserves a really small 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, Goldback, 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.
