Rest-Q (GoBots)

This article is about the GoBots Guardian. For the Generation 1 Autobot, see Rest-Q (G1).

Rest-Q is a Guardian from the GoBots continuity family.

Not called "Cupcake".

Rest-Q is a Guardian medic and so of course he turns into an ambulance. He used to suffer from a case of foreign vocoder syndrome, causing random words from other languages to pop up in his speech, but he's all better now! Unless he has to wear a brand new body for some reason but what are the chances?

Fiction

Rest-Q was able to develop a cure for a cyber-mimetic virus found by Cy-Kill in an ancient Himalayan temple. Renegade Rhetoric (1), 2015/10/17

Timelines

When the whole universe was threatened by a Cataclysm, Rest-Q was given a new body and sent as part of a three-man cross-faction team to join Path Finder in saving the day. He was glad to see her team was in good health but inadvertently started a spat between Man-O-War and Path Finder's group when he asked where the AWOL Bug Bite was.

When the team split in two, Rest-Q and the other ground 'bots came under Treds's command. Sunrise

They traveled over land for a time until they reached the outskirts of Oregon. Road Ranger was complaining about low energy reserves after having to carry Treds' bulky tank mode on his flatbed, so Rest-Q called for a pit-stop. He gave Road Ranger a once-over with his diagnostic hand and discovered a leak in Ranger's fuel line. The doc quickly patched him up (well, he accelerated the cyborg patient's pre-existing self-repair capabilities, but same difference).

When the ground patrol reached the general area of the Autobot Ironworks, they grew suspicious of the lack of radio traffic from their advance fliers. Scouting the area, Rest-Q and the Go-Bots attracted the attention of the negative polarity Autobot Stepper. High Noon

After passing their attacker, Rest-Q and the GoBots entered the Iron Works and reconnected with their advance team. As they prepared to continue on to the next leg of their journey, Rest-Q noted the team would need considerable repairs before seeing action again. Journey's Eve After a night's rest, the group separated again to maximize their speed to their destination. Rest-Q was among those left behind while Path Finder guided the team forward. Last Sunset

Notes

A conspicuously unused other prototype Mini-Vehicle deco? We're sure that won't come up in the future.

• Like the guy who was named after him, Rest-Q in Spatiotemporal Challengers is based on a prototype version of the Generation 1 Mini Vehicle Hubcap seen in the Toy Fair 1986 catalogue, though he swaps the helmet and face colours from the prototype.
• Rest-Q's "foreign vocoder syndrome" that leads him to speak in Antillian is a reference to his G1 counterpart.

Foreign names
