Chilla Gorilla

Chilla Gorilla is a member of the Techie Team from BotBots.

"All of George’s secrets." There’s the shortest audiobook ever written.

After being turned into a robotic ape by an energon-infused mist, Chilla Gorilla has dedicated himself to silence. Beyond just keeping mum, he has the ability to emit a noise-canceling frequency that even quiets his footfalls, granting him stealthy movement. While he'll insist others also keep from being loud, he isn't above occasionally pounding a beat with his enormous fists.

Toys

BotBots

• Techie Team (5-pack, 2018)
  • Series: 1
  • Level: 3 Star

Part of the first Series of BotBots, Chilla changes from a pair of padded headphones into a soft plastic robot gorilla and back. His deco is noticeably different from the promotional art, with features on the figure suggesting a bushy black mustache and thick 'monobrow' that are instead interpreted as a jutting jaw and sloping forehead in the artwork.

Chilla is only available in a single one of the "Techie Team" themed 5-packs, along with Slappyhappy, Pucksie, Raddhaxx, and Lost Bot Bonz-Eye.

This mold was used to make Abominable Soundman.

This pack is a "recommended minimum buy" for a complete set of Series 1 BotBots.

Arcade Renegades Surprise 16-pack

• Arcade Renegades Surprise (16-pack, 2019)
  • Series: 3
  • Level: 3 Star

Chilla Gorilla was also inexplicably available in three of the six iterations of the "Arcade Renegades Surprise" 16-pack, found only in one of the eight blindpacked bubbles on the package. Unfortunately, there appears to be no form of ID numbering on the packaging to tell what's inside the bubbles, and the window portion of the packaging has the same eight new-mold Renegades in the same positions in every version. So um... good luck!

He comes in these blindpacked arrangements:

• Chilla Gorilla, Duderoni, Laceface, Papa Click, Sheriff Sugarfeet, Skillz Punk, Sweet Cheat, Tangry Tart
• 24K-Bit, Chilla Gorilla, Duderoni, Papa Click, Skillz Punk, Spud Muffin, Sweet Cheat, Wrist Banned
• Chilla Gorilla, Duderoni, The Fizz, Hawt Diggity, Papa Click, Pixelfin, Shredder Jack, Wrist Banned

Notes

• Chilla has a pair of Autobot symbols on his person. But as with the other BotBots, this appears to be a matter of in-universe marketing, not any sign of faction affiliation.
