Challenge of the GoBots: Guardians headcanons.

The Guardians, have something in common with their human companions.

They get songs, jingles, or random television/movie moments that live rent-free in their heads.

But they all react a little differently from each other.

Leader-1 would be a little annoyed hearing the familiar Disney song in his head. He would try to refocus his thoughts into something else.

A rhythmic, almost hypnotic melody had infiltrated Leader-1's processor. It was the opening riff of "Friend Like Me" from Aladdin, a song that jarred with his usual focus on battle strategies and tactical maneuvers. The thought of a flamboyant genie offering wishes was anathema to his logical mind. He attempted to drown it out with the usual strategic calculations, troop movements, and potential Renegade threats.

Yet, with every strategic dismissal, the song would sneak back in, a jarring reminder of carefree days before the war. A deep sigh, a physical impossibility for a GoBot, escaped his vents. Perhaps, he admitted to himself, a little dose of unexpected melody wouldn't hurt his focus. After all, even the most stoic leader needed a moment of levity now and then. He focused on the underlying beat, transforming it into a mental drumroll for his next daring mission plan. The "Friend Like Me" melody, once an annoyance, became an unexpected source of inspiration.

------

Unlike the others, Turbo wasn't having it. The chipper tones of "Be Our Guest" grated on his circuits with every repetition. He, the fastest Guardian, craved the quiet solitude of deep space, not the cacophony of a bustling restaurant. The song became a personal torment, its forced cheer a constant reminder of the confinement of their base. He tried blasting heavy metal through his audio receptors, hoping to drown out the sugary melody, but the nonsensical lyrics only served to further muddle his thoughts. Turbo paced the room, his engine growling in frustration, yearning for the open expanse of space where he could scream into the void without the soundtrack of a never-ending banquet.

------

Scooter: The melody thrummed through Scooter's circuits, an irresistible earworm that had him humming along with every action. He'd tap his wrench to the beat while tinkering, dodge training punches with a flourish, and even burst into a slightly off-key rendition during patrol briefings (earning him a withering glare from Leader-1). The only problem? Scooter couldn't remember where he first heard the song. It felt familiar, like a long-lost friend, but the source remained a fuzzy memory. He pestered Leader-1 with questions ("Was it during that mission on Zeron? Maybe it's a secret Renegade anthem?") but the stoic leader just shook his head, defeated by Scooter's boundless enthusiasm. Undeterred, Scooter continued his crusade, humming his way through every mission, hoping a spark of memory would ignite and reveal the song's origin.

(The song was "Let it Go." From "Frozen")

------

-------

Smallfoot: Patrol duty was usually a time for quiet reflection for Smallfoot. Gliding through the metallic corridors of the Guardian base, her keen eyes scanned for any potential security breaches. Suddenly, a high-pitched, warbling sound pierced the usual hum of machinery. It was Scooter, butchering the melody of "Let It Go" at the top of his lungs while polishing his tools. The unexpected assault on her senses made Smallfoot wince. This wasn't the peaceful patrol she'd envisioned. Instead of Mary Poppins' soothing tones, a different Disney classic began to play in her head – "Cruella De Vil" from 101 Dalmatians. A wry smile touched her lips. Scooter's enthusiasm, while endearing, could be a bit… much.

She envisioned him as a manic Cruella, gleefully smoking her cigarette, instead of having an obsession with fur coats. The image brought a much-needed spark of humor to the otherwise mundane patrol, and Smallfoot found herself humming a subdued version of the villain's theme song, a private joke between her and the oblivious Scooter.

Matt: Matt, ever the pragmatist, found Scooter's relentless humming of "Let It Go" to be a source of amusement, albeit a low-key one. He'd occasionally raise an eyebrow or give a dry quip like, "Sounds like someone's got a princess stuck in their circuits," but mostly let Scooter be. Secretly, he found the wide-eyed joy radiating from his friend to be a refreshing change from the usual seriousness of their battles.

-------

Aj: The most level-headed of the human trio, noticed the subtle shift in Smallfoot's demeanor during their patrol. Smallfoot, usually focused and meticulous, seemed a touch… distracted. A knowing smile played on Aj's lips as she caught Smallfoot humming a suspiciously familiar tune. When their eyes met, Smallfoot winked, a silent acknowledgment of their shared amusement at Scooter's oblivious enthusiasm. Aj simply shook her head, a silent promise to keep Smallfoot's secret weapon (Cruella De Vil) under wraps.

------

Nick: Turbo's predicament was a source of endless amusement for Nick. He'd approach Turbo with a mock frown, "Feeling a little less 'Be Our Guest' today, are we?" Turbo, already at his wit's end, would growl in response, only fueling Nick's teasing. One day, Nick, unable to resist, snuck a recording of "Be Our Guest" onto the base's PA system. The saccharine melody filled every corner, causing Turbo to whirl around in frustration, glaring daggers at Nick, who doubled over in laughter. Despite the annoyance, a small part of Turbo couldn't help but admire Nick's mischievous spirit. Maybe, just maybe, a little payback would be in order once the song curse lifted.

I read Tom Scioli's Gobots comic a while back and it was great! I loved how both Cy-kill and Leader-1 are absolutely horrible and unhinged 🥰

wada sez: Another “Minibot suffers audiosensory trauma” strip. I swear these robots are so familiar. That’s definitely Horri-Bull at least. Those are Twincast’s colours, but what’s up with his shoulders? That’s definitely Leader-1′s head, but what’s up with his shoulders? Why’s that other Decepticon’s red gun so distinctive? I’m going crazy here, help me out.
