There are good Gobots and enemy Gobots and each is properly identified, thank goodness. Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: He actually does believe in his cause, and he can drift into Villainous Valor upon occasion.Gobots are robots that almost in the flash of an eye can become vehicles of some kind: aircraft, cars, tanks, locomotives.Basically while the lion's share of the Renegades (including their former leader) were cannon fodder, Fi-Tor could be a strategist. In contrast, while Fi-Tor ultimately did fail to keep the Guardians from capturing the Renegade stronghold, he'd been placed in charge to keep the Guardians occupied while Cy-Kill assembled his Zod Armada, and after the pilot movie was usually the Renegade that could be counted on to adapt plans and mission parameters as the situation changed. For his part, Cop-Tur is almost the definition of Dumb Muscle and can quickly find himself out of his depth when "hitting it" no longer works. Her eagerness to use said power has been used to bait her into destroying technology that was necessary to Cy-Kill's plans. Crasher is too violent and can easily get distracted in her efforts to cause mayhem and her destructive stomp can't really be controlled beyond giving it a general direction. Token Competent Minion: While Crasher and Cop-Tur are tough opponents and usually serve as Cy-Kill's primary minions, both tend to suffer severe drawbacks.FaceHeel Turn: Like Cy-Kill, he used to be a Guardian.The Dragon: He is Cy-Kill's official second-in-command, even though he doesn't appear as often as Crasher and Cop-Tur do.Villainous Friendship: He and Fi-Tor both defected from the Guardians at the same time, and actually regard each other as friends.His name also sounds like the word "psycho." Names to Run Away from Really Fast: It's dubious that a person with "Kill" in their name would be of noble character.Large Ham: His dialogue is really no more over-the-top than most cartoon Big Bads, but Bernard Erhard clearly had a blast milking the lines for everything they were worth.FaceHeel Turn: It is established in "Et Tu, Cy-Kill" that he used to be a Guardian before joining the Renegades.Evil Laugh: Not manic like Crasher's, but his deep voice still makes it memorable.Character Blog: He has a Fun Publications-sanctioned Facebook page called Renegade Rhetoric (initially a temporary edition of Ask Vector Prime before continuing as its own separate Facebook page), which consists mainly of creating posts where he describes the events of episodes from a fictional second season of Challenge of the GoBots.The Renegade Rhetoric Facebook posts (which were essentially a quasi-official second season to the cartoon) would later have him reluctantly form another alliance with Magmar in the "Combiner Wars" double-post that served as the series' spiritual Grand Finale. Big Bad Duumvirate: He teams up with Magmar in the Battle of the Rock Lords movie, but ends up betraying him to take the power scepter for himself.Big Bad: As leader of the Renegades, he's responsible for just about every conflict the Guardians have to resolve.Benevolent Boss: He shows more loyalty to his troops than one might expect from an 80's cartoon villain.
