Apollo (GoBots)
Apollo is a fictional character from the GoBots series. He is a heroic Guardian who turns into a Saturn V rocket.
GoBots
Apollo is based on the Machine Robo character Apollo Robo, although that toy was never imported into the GoBots toy line.
He should not be confused with Armada Skyblast, who was called Apollo in Japan, or with Autonomous Maximus, who has been known as Apollo.
Comics
Apollo was one of a six-bot crew returning to Gobotron after a lengthy scouting expedition, one launched shortly after the Gobot conversion process was implemented. Scorp and Crain Brain, flying in Space Hawk interceptors, observed them. Cy-Kill subsequently captured all of the crew except Apollo, who escaped to warn the Guardians. Apollo returned with Leader-1's team to rescue the scouts, but two had joined up with the Renegades.
Apollo appeared in the Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric episode 9 story "Cy-Kill For President".[1]
Apollo was featured in the 2016 Ask Vector Prime story Echoes and Fragments, set during the events of The Transformers: The Movie. The manipulations of the evil Gong and Sideways resulted in various GoBots swapping places with characters during the events of that film. Apollo was demolished by Astrotrain at the battle of Guardian City.[2]
