Argus

Leader Imperius Argus the Command Cruiser, also known as Ark the Cosmic Cruiser or the Satellite Recovery Arm, is the leader of the Protectons and father of Compucore. Before transferring his essence into his Robotix body, he was the captain of the Protectonian imperial city spacecraft Zanadon and had a romantic relationship with Narra. He is compassionate and brave and tries to help the humans. He despises killing to the point that he would rather hurt himself instead of allowing anybody to use him to kill another being. He almost suffered a nervous breakdown upon learning that his life force was downloaded into his robot shell. His Robotix body is shaped like a truck and resembles a monster dog with a head on a long neck usable as a ramrod and a curved hook for a right hand that changes into a gun. Memorable transformations and and features include many forms such as the Space Crane, Crater Creature, Lunar Explorer Vehicle and Long Launcher, laser cannons deployed from his chest and an additional K-series drone barge referred to as K-9. His pilot of choice is Captain Exetor Galaxon. He was voiced by Arthur Burghardt.
