Abilities
Like most GoBots, Hornet has numerous abilities because of his robotic body. He can survive in space and is super-humanly strong and tough. He can fly in robot mode and project energy blasts from his hands. His body heals quickly when supplied with energy. He can turn into a jet.
Animated series
Hornet first appeared in Challenge of the GoBots episode "Et Tu, Cy-Kill". A long serving Renegade since at least the aftermath of the first revolt, Hornet took command of a Thruster during the disastrous raid on GoBotron - the Guardians lured the bulk of the Renegade fleet into a trap, and inflicted heavy losses.
In GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords Hornet would be part of the force taken down to the surface of Cordax by Cy-Kill, helping with the initial rout of Boulder's troops.
