Bad Boy

Bad Boy is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 series.

Bad Boy is a traveller from another dimension, who has taken the form of a Decepticon and infiltrated their ranks in the hopes of finding the solution to a problem that plagues his home. He was a renegade in his home dimension, and in his current mission is under the strict supervision of the Guardian Treds.

(Note: Bad Boy is clearly intended to be the character from the Tonka GoBots line. His name does not appear in any of the final product material; it only appeared in an early Photoshopped promotional image on the E-Hobby website. The individual toys' names were dropped when Takara's legal department felt that the legalities of using the characters from a toy line originally developed by Bandai and a cartoon developed by Hanna-Barberra was shaky.)

Toy

Bad Boy was only available in an E-Hobby-exclusive 6-pack with Bug Bite, Pathfinder, Road Ranger, Small Foot and Treds. He is a redeco of the Mini-Vehicle Powerglide. His coloration is similar to an early version of the toy that only appeared in an early Japanese Transformers catalogue image; all five 1985 Mini-Vehicles in this image had color differences from the final versions.
