GoBots

Matt Hunter one of three main human allies of the Guardian GoBots in the Challenge of the GoBots animated series and related fiction.

Animated series

Matt was an experienced NASA astronaut, and was charged with taking the shuttle Intrepid up to repair a satellite with the help of cadets Nick Burns and A.J. Foster. However, the shuttle was destroyed by the Renegades' Thruster, and the trio were suspended by NASA, who didn't believe their story. However, the Guardians soon contacted them for help repairing Turbo. Matt was then drawn into the battle between the two groups, instantly striking up a rapport with Leader-1.

He would regularly pilot the Guardian in battle. However, he was taken over by the Renegades' Pulsar Generator, but was freed by Turbo, Scooter and the cadets. He then helped stop the Renegades' invasion of the planet, and was obviously allowed to return to NASA.

He stayed with the service when it was revamped as UNECOM, taking a key liaison role in their alliance with the Guardians.

Matt would help discover the Last Engineer and returned to Earth when GoBotron fell to the Renegades, eventually helping pilot the Command Center during the Guardians' successful counterattack.

Matt Hunter appeared in Challenge of the GoBots episode 9, "Terror in Atlantis".

Matt Hunter appeared in episode 45, "Ring of Fire".[2]

He briefly turned out as a successful gladiator in Old GoBotron; he took the Tri-Amulet from Cy-Kill; he convinced the Guardians to listen to Doctor Braxis about the Nova Beam; he helped expose the Renegades' plans during the Vienna peace conference; he freed the captured Guardians on Elba (though he also got stranded there by way of thanks); swallowed down his pride to recruit Braxis again to combat Roguestar's stealth field, and destroyed the Renegades' Shield Generator when they used it to give crime-lord Murchison control of America.
