Turns out the Goldbug reference is inexplicable because it isn't one! His Japanese name is Goldberg.

Notes: Senna didn't drive for Honda, he drove for McLaren, which used Honda engines at the time. And that was just part of his career, he also drove for Toleman, Lotus, and Williams.

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 suit, helmet, sponsor designs, and colors are rather similar to that of Brazilian Formula 1 driver, Ayrton Senna. Senna also died behind the wheel.
