His built-in repair systems can repair most injuries to his body if given enough energy.īad Boy is featured extensively in "Wolf in the Fold" episode #30. Like most Gobots, Bad Boy can change form, his alternate mode being a combat jet. He is actually smarter than he lets on, preferring to let others underestimate him. He is a rough street punk always ready with an insult and looking for a fight. However, it’d still be funny to see Drax fight an actual GoBot (even if it is in an end-credit scene).Bad Boy is one of Cy-Kill's minions. With the Guardian of the Galaxy going head-to-head against Adam Warlock in the next film, I highly doubt that the Go-Bots will make a significant appearance. So while bringing the GoBots into the MCU officially would be a bit odd, it’s not the strangest thing that Marvel has done. We’ve seen a couple of strange things come out of the Guardians of the Galaxy films, including a talking god, a Kree that spends most of his time yelling and a fight against a celestial being and a giant Pac-Man. But, on the other hand, this could mean that GoBots are now a part of the MCU, which could be explored in the last Guardians of the Galaxy film.ĭrax has had a lot of loss in his lifetime, first his wife and daughter at the hands of the Mad Titan, Thanos, and now it seems his cousin to one of the GoBots (and it’s clear that he still holds a grudge against any GoBots that might cross his path). On the one hand, the reference to the GoBots could have been nothing more than a passing reference to have audiences laugh at Drax’s expense once again. Nostalgic Tribute or Part of a Wider Multiverse? Hasbro, the creators behind the Transformers, later bought the company and absorbed it into the Transformers, making the GoBots an alternate universe that was a part of the greater Transformers multiverse. Unfortunately, the Transformers debuted a year later and ultimately overwhelmed the GoBots. The toy line soon became popular and was later turned into an animated TV series ( Challenge of the GoBots) and then a film ( GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords). GoBots were originally a series of toys that had been created by Tonka (a company which produces toy trucks) with characters that were either good and known as the Guardians or evil and known as the Renegades. They were significantly less complex than the Transformers we know and love today. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was no different in this regard, but this seemingly throwaway line may have opened the MCU up for a much stranger story.īefore the Transformers made their debut, there was another group of sentient robots, and they were known as the GoBots. Throughout the Guardians of the Galaxy films, James Gunn has always taken every opportunity to make obscure references to the 80s, including the film’s soundtrack and random memorabilia left for fans to spot, such as a troll doll. ![]()
