Challenge of the GoBots
Characters introduced in Challenge of the GoBots.
Guardians
Leader-1: The leader of the Guardians. He is a brave leader who cares deeply about his people. He believes not one person should be in charge. He supports the democratic system of the Guardians. This leads his former friend, Cy-Kill, to break away from the Guardians. He takes command of the evil Renegades and becomes Leader-1's worst enemy. Turns into an F-15 fighter jet. Voiced by Lou Richards, Jr.
Courageous: Turbo, Scooter, Path Finder and Royal-T
Small Foot: One of Leader-1's most trusted soldiers. A tracker, what she lacks in size she more than makes up for in heart and determination. Small Foot can often be seen kicking around with Scooter but she idolizes Leader-1 and is often found fighting by his side. Trouble seems to find her wherever she is. Sometimes with all of her determination Small Foot becomes impulsive and eager to please the older and more experienced Guardian soldiers. Turns into a pickup truck. Voiced by B.J. Ward.

Several other Gobots have cameo or walk-on scenes during the early stages of the film, including Fitor, Cop-Tur, Herr Fiend, Heat Seeker, Klaws, Sparky, Rest-Q, Dozer, Zeemon, Twin Spin, Twister and Stallion'''. In an odd animation error, Herr Fiend and Baron Von Joy's roles were reversed, with each Gobot fulfilling the other's role, and being referred to by name. This error is especially odd as it required several scenes of animation, yet the error is consistent throughout.
