Fiction[edit | edit source]
Challenge of the GoBots cartoon[edit | edit source]
- Voice actor: Bill Martin
Wrecks made a living in Old GoBotron by arranging gladiatorial battles and running a network of Urchin pick-pockets. When Matt Hunter, A.J. Foster and Nick Burns strayed onto his patch he took them prisoner. He put the cadets on display at a freakshow—which provided a distraction for his gang to rob the gawpers—and forced Matt to become a gladiator, promising the human freedom if he won a fight. However when Cy-Kill, Fly Trap, and Gorn arrived looking for them, Wrecks had the humans smuggled out of his arena via a secret passage. They found out he was actually a kindly if avuncular character who looked after his band as best he could in the tough world of Old GoBotron. He got the humans back to Leader-1. Impressed, the Guardian offered him a chance to join the Guardians, but Wrecks instead opted to remain in Old GoBotron to help those living there. Lost on GoBotron
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Wrecks was devised for the series and isn't seen to change into a vehicle in the episode; considering the episode's reference to "Modifier rejects" he may not be able to.
- His name is a double pun—Wrecks because he's an old wreck, and because it sounds like 'rex' and he's king of the streets of Old GoBotron. Double groan.
