Psycho Renegade Gobot




PSYCHO:

Episode Appearance(s): 2

(02) 2. Target Earth & (08) 43. The Fall Of Gobotron

Bio:
The Renegade that disassembled Leader-1 and laughed his head off doing so...

The first we see of Psycho he is manning a control panel in the Renegade HQ on Gobotron and is the bot Fitor explains there tricky situation to. as he isn't allowed to use Zod(Main) to Stop the constant Guardian bombardment.

However the next and last time we see Psycho he is ordered to be the Renegade that 'disassembles' Leader-1. Which he does followed by a Psychtic laugh but sadly this near deafeat of the Guardian is very short lived because as soon as he's switched the dissassembler on he Blasted my Turbo, Lightfoot and Sparky.
Power Abilities:
Most likely had the ability to fly and the use of fist blasters. Given his alternate form, I think it would be best assumed that he had great speed.
Character speculations and possibilities:
It would've been nice to see more of Psycho like with most under/unused characters in the Gobots. Using his name it would be good to assume that the Psycho isn't the full ticket, I would like to think he would've been the bot that others would go to, to get unspeakable things done.
I think his story would be a bit tragic maybe as a result of an experiment by Dr. Go/Herr Fiend to be the fastest Gobot (lets say on par with Blurr form Transformers) the experiment was a 'success' but with side dire side effects for as fast as he went he would also get more insane.

Crainbrain Renegade Gobot


CRAINBRAIN

Appearance(s): 2

(02) 2. Target Earth & (06) 41. Cy-Kills Escape.

Bio:
Well not much can be said of Crainbrain's screen time.

We first see that he is one of the Renegades that are Guarding there Gobotron city/base. He and Screwhead were the two Renegades called by Fitor to release Zod (Prime). Was this one of Crainbrains jobs to guard and monitor Zod if anything went wrong with his 'cell'?

He must have helped defend the Renegade base as he is not part of Cy-Kills earth bound force, but the battle for the Renegades HQ on Gobotron is ultimately lost to the Guardian assault.

The next time we see Crainbrain he is imprisoned on the 'Prison Moon' following the Renegades defeat at their Gobotron HQ. Crainbrain would then take part in the great jail break as he and Geeper Creeper are seen charging out of their cells by Nick and Scooter whom were monitoring the situation in a different location.

It is not known whether Crainbrain survived his escape attempt or any of the subsequent battles that followed...

Power Abilities:

Most likely had the ability to fly and the use of fist blaster.
Given his alternate form, I think it would be assumed that he had great strength and vast heavy lifting abilities.

Character speculations and possibilities:

What I would’ve liked to of seen is back story with Crainbrain, Spoons, Blockhead, Steamer, Dozer and Dumper as a unit similar to the Constructicons from the Transformers.
Instead of the team being completely bad the war could've split the unit down the middle as one half believed Cy-Kills' doctrine and the other half believed in the way of the Gobotron Council and the Guardians. Steamer being pendulum between the two factions.

This would’ve made for a great episode or two.
