A failed excursion to a vicious, jungle-smitten world in pursuit of crystalline energon molded a younger Goa: his midsized, ground-based chassis is built for bushwacking.

His vehicle mode is decidedly Cybertronian, and perhaps decidedly Decepticon -- an armored shell of a dune buggy, scythes wider than the buggy itself at the helm.
