### RGP XIII

In "The New Guy", Becks joins Beaks in announcing the RGP XIII and introducing the seven veteran racers to viewers. In "Welcome To The Big Time", the pair are joined by Mr. King in commenting on the season starting race at Desert Rose speed track. Becks comments about King's attempts at puns, only to be stared at for his own efforts by Beaks. Unlike Beaks, he fails to recognized Tag using one of Riq's moves during the race, but is stunned when the rookie makes a record second place finish.

In "Playing With Fire", Becks and Beaks welcome Tag into their newsroom, and Becks is the first to inform Tag of his endorsement with Jump Jump Power Drink. When Miles is going through Ark security footage, Becks is visible in the newsroom leaping into the air and clicking his heels together as Beaks watches. Together with Ms. Dira, they also provide commentary for the race at Highland Air Race Track. In "Shakes, Rattles, & Rolls", the pair announce the next race's location as Pinewood Reservoir, infamous for Riq's apparent death.

In "Can I Get A Ka-Ching!", Becks comments on the race at Blizzard's Bite, noting Axle's determination to regain his lead after losing to Tag at Pinewood.

Becks has a slim humanoid build topped by a stylized male goat head with two large black horns emerging from the top back and curling around behind his pointed ears. He is covered in white wool except for his red nose, and has blue eyes. Becks wears glasses, a white shirt with a red suit coat, and a black tie with diagonal yellow stripes towards the bottom.

## Relationships

### Axle

Like most people, Becks is somewhat put off by Axle's quiet nature.

### Beaks

Despite Beaks' few words, Becks is apparently able to decipher what his partner wants to communicate in any situation.

### Mr. King

Becks is amiable towards Mr. King, given the hippo being his superior; however, he isn't afraid to show his lack of appreciation for King's jokes.

### Ms. Dira

Dira works directly under Becks and Beaks as a field correspondent, and their relationship seems to be positive.

### Tag
