[[Image:|right|300px|thumb|Oh, gross! This is never gonna come out of the carpet!]] Goo #8739B (also known simply as Goo) is a planetoid composed almost entirely of a sticky gum-like substance. It's used as a Garbage Disposal of sorts, and has apparent connections to the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Junkion" title="Junkion">Junkions</a>. You can move through it easily enough... but getting out of it is another matter altogether.

Everyone promptly got stuck on its surface, and Springer was caught and dismantled by an alien garbage truck. Searching for the means to "shut off the goo" -- to deactivate the energy fields that kept it warm and sticky -- the Autobots were attacked by a large group of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Decepticon" title="Decepticon">Decepticons</a>, led there by other Quintessons. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Five_Faces_of_Darkness%2C_Part_3" title="Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3">Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3</a></span>

When the Decepticons were distracted by the arrival of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Galvatron_%28G1%29" title="Galvatron (G1)">Galvatron</a>, the Autobots found a control facility where they made contact with <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Wreck-Gar_%28G1%29" title="Wreck-Gar (G1)">Wreck-Gar</a>, who quickly came to their rescue. The <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Junkion" title="Junkion">Junkion</a> leader used a specialized ship to melt the goo out from under them, and vacuum the Autobots inside (and spitting Judge Deliberata back out). Stymied by the escape of his quarry, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Galvatron_%28G1%29" title="Galvatron (G1)">Galvatron</a> destroyed the entire planetoid in a fit of rage. 'Cause he can do that apparently. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Five_Faces_of_Darkness%2C_Part_4" title="Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4">Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4</a></span>

Goo—or a twin—was later the location of a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Earth_Defense_Command" title="Earth Defense Command">Earth Defense Command</a> outpost, destroyed by unknown means. Wreck-Gar, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Kup" class="mw-redirect" title="Kup">Kup</a>, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Blurr_%28G1%29" title="Blurr (G1)">Blurr</a>, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Grimlock_%28G1%29" title="Grimlock (G1)">Grimlock</a>, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Wheelie" title="Wheelie">Wheelie</a> and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Sky_Lynx_%28G1%29" title="Sky Lynx (G1)">Sky Lynx</a> went to investigate, making sure to shut off the force fields in advance this time. After finding a whole bunch of similarly broken things on the planet, Kup told his companions that this was the work of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Death_crystal" title="Death crystal">death crystals</a>, and seconds later the entire group was attacked by <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Blast_Off" title="Blast Off">Blast Off</a> and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Runamuck_%28G1%29" title="Runamuck (G1)">Runamuck</a>, the latter firing the aforementioned crystals at them. The Autobots immediately retreated from the planet. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Chaos_%28episode%29" title="Chaos (episode)">Chaos</a></span>.

Whether this is the same Goo or another planetoid like it is unknown, though the number designation of the original planetoid would imply that there are thousands of the little garbage magnets.
