Hooligan (G2)
| This article is about the Generation 2 Decepticon. For the four-armed alien gladiator, see Hooligan (alien). |
- Hooligan is a Decepticon Cyberjet in the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
If Skywarp needed competition in the cruel practical joker department he's found it in Hooligan. Only marginally smarter than fellow Cyberjet Space Case, his idea of a great joke is usually something mean spirited and destructive. Hooligan doesn't care who his target is either; Autobot, human, or fellow Decepticon. His greatest flaw is a tendency to go too far in pursuit of a good joke: most robots would know better than to pull a prank on Megatron, Hooligan...not so much. Given that, it's a wonder he's still functional.
Fiction
Japanese G2 mini-comics
During battle, Optimus Prime had gotten the advantage over Megatron, who was low on energy. Optimus was about to force Megatron to surrender, when Hooligan arrived and hit Optimus in the back with his "March Shower Missiles". The blow destroyed Prime's back unit, making his cannon in-operative. Megatron then gained the upper hand.

- Hooligan (Cyberjet, 1995)
- Japanese ID number: TRF-9
- Hooligan transforms into the proposed "swing-wing" Naval variant of the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor in orange with black tiger stripes and a large missile launcher atop the airframe. When transformed, the missile launcher becomes the robot's right arm, and like all Cyberjets, Hooligan's robot mode makes use of ball joints for a high degree of articulation.
- The Hooligan mold was redecoed to make Generation 2 Jetfire. In recent years it has been used for Robot Masters R Blade, Universe Wind Sheer, and Timelines Ricochet.
