#golobulus

Ok Megatron ain’t gonna hear scrap—and give me your saddest conceivable backstory writers—jestem gotowy (I’m ready). 🍿🍭🥤

(No famous last words on my part. Some sick animals gotta go)

Golobulus…probably not either. Also hella territorial to a comedic degree. We’ll see what he chooses to do

Pythona’s the one I still have hope for. She was friendly enough to Wheelie, so maybe Akronus can also talk some sense into her

Flagg, who most likely knows how torture is an unreliable form of extracting accurate information (according to history and studies), and also knew about Mirage, Bulkhead and Starscream (in which studying the former 2 apparently amounted to nothing), yet chose to blindly go after a conscious “metal monstrosity” (after preparing restraints for them in advance of course—hmm, wonder how many months those took to build, and wonder if those were actually meant for Optimus. Just some food for thought) in order to…get off on torturing them since he knows he can easily justify himself “protect the country” (which also apparently amounted to nothing)—

(Btw Doc’s still missing—)

And then got real pissy when confronted about it (while attempting to “apologize” to members of his own species), as he immediately resorts to making the confronter feel like crap instead of even feigning remorse—and then later going on a side quest to make someone else (whether they’re a good or bad guy is not the point) suffer: ☝️🙂‍↔️

/ He really fascinates me

Darak. Please. Keep that nightcrawling headhunting Unicron fueler (cuz Unicron…h-he literally feeds off evil too right) at comms’ length

(As like I said, some sick animals gotta go)

Just go befriend Carly and Spike, like especially Spike (who’s not villainous. At all. Just so we’re clear, but his dialogue lately whenever he mentions aliens concerns + saddens me [and I don’t blame Spike for wanting normalcy at the potential cost of his Autobot relationships—that’s on Prime. He made a promise to protect him—and he doesn’t even seem to realize that he’s been failing big time since the end of Volume 3])—

Dear Tentacled Terror,

With the death of its champion Cobra Commander, Koh-Buru-Lah—child of the cosmic Serpent and sibling to Golah-Bulas—was forced into hiding, deep within the surface of Cybertron. Cut off from its worshippers and surrounded by the cold metal it despised, it was left in a catatonic state, paralysed and unmoving far below the feet of Rodimus Prime and his fellow Cybertronians for decades. However, the dark deity's role in this world was not yet over, and Koh-Buru-Lah would be reawakened when Space War II reached Cybertron. Having already conquered Mars from the forces of Snake-Eyes, the Cobra Commander, the Serpentor sought to prevail where his father had not in claiming Cybertron for his own; and when he set foot on the metal world, the presence of his divinely-touched bloodline was felt by Koh-Buru-Lah. Reaching out to the Serpentor through his dreams, the primordial god drew to itself the Neo-Cobra Emperor, who gladly pledged his service. As a blessing to its new herald, Koh-Buru-Lah used the worship it had fed upon and its years of acclamation to Cybertron to create new followers: Kohlada and the Slitherfangs, fusions of dark occultism and living metal, nigh-unstoppable in battle.

Another successful trip to Toy Traders in Langley BC! Finally took the plunge on Cobra-La! Can't believe it's taken me this long to pick them up, I love the figures, but I think I was just waiting to find a Royal Guard complete. Another mic/breather/antenna for the want list... 

141: “Golobulus.” G.I. Joe “Real American Hero” Series 6, 1987.

Welp. This may in fact be the weirdest figure I will draw for this entire project.  

Here we have the first of another 3-pack: COBRA-LA. This was the sort of “partner pack” to counter the Renegades pack preceding it. All of these characters were featured in the G.I. Joe movie that came out this same year. Ol’ Golobulus here was voiced by none other than Burgess Meredith (who played The Penguin in the Adam West Batman TV series, AND Rocky’s trainer Mickey in the Rocky movies).
