Kelly (RID)
- Kelly is a human from the Robots in Disguise continuity family.
Kelly was most likely born on a Friday the 13th underneath both a ladder and an open umbrella inside a house and possibly within close proximity of numerous black cats. To put it lightly, her luck sucks. On the bright side, Kelly appears to be fabulously wealthy (or at least has great insurance policies). So while her many sports cars typically wind up destroyed during Transformer battles (into which she inadvertently steps all the time, no matter where on the globe she travels in order to get away from "the talking cars"), she can just buy a new one.
Kelly is also quite boy-crazy, always on the lookout for a good man. However, thanks to her bad luck, the only man to ever show any interest in her is Side Burn, who, unbeknownst to her, is actually macking on the red sports cars she drives.
Poor, rich Kelly.
- Japanese name: Junko
Fiction
Robots in Disguise cartoon
Kelly's first encounter with those strange, talking cars from another planet happened when her new sports utility vehicle, X-Brawn, came to life in response to a call from Optimus Prime. Not wanting to lug her into battle, X-Brawn apologized in advance and then launched her violently through his sunroof. Battle Protocol (episode)
Dreamwave Armada comic
In a random, out-of-continuity cameo, Kelly was nearly mowed down by the Street Action Mini-Con Team when they responded (against their will) to a Mini-Con recall signal.
Trivia
- Like all the girls in the Binaltech Asterisk line, the character of Junko Shiragami was inspired by an existing female human from a past Transformers series. Kelly was her inspiration, if you couldn't guess.
- Kelly's name was never once spoken during the series. Rather, it was only ever made known through a casting sheet released online at the time of the show's premiere.
