Rick Sanchez

**Rick Sanchez** was a strict and demanding employer. His ambition made him use his genius to build his own models of Trainsformers he could control and never be betrayed by them. However, his arrogance blinded him to the fact that he was manipulated by Ernie, Stan, and Megatrain. He is very afraid of death and does not see his mistakes until it is too late. This was shown where he often panics during the battle and chooses to betray Ernie and Stan after realizing what he had done and realized that Galvatrain has manipulated him. Rick was also a coward and a hypocritical complainer, whining to Brian and Tarinbot Bull for involving him into a battle against TBC Deceptitrains, but they retaliate against him by verbally arguing back that at least they are fighting to save Earth while he is not. However, after all of this, he stopped and eventually redeemed himself.

## Bio

Rick started out as the arrogant CEO of TBC. His company was hired by a rogue CIA agents Ernie and Stan Smith to build artificial, remote-controlled Trainsformers due to Ernie and Stan planned to hunt down the Trainbots. Rick himself thinks the Trainbots are only junk compared to his creations. This was shown when Brian, Thomas, and rest of the protagonists and Trainbots talk to him for the first time, Rick openly starts insulting and preaching to Thomas, that the Trainbots are no longer needed because now humans can make their own robots, but Thomas angrily objects that TBC were only able to do so by killing or exploiting many of his friends. And to add salt to the wound, he tells our heroes that the Rebellion and the Resistence is finished too and are no longer needed to fight battles now that he can create his own robots.

However, when he uses Galvatrain to capture Thomas, Galvatrain is briefly out of control due to Megatrain's possession. Despite this, he thought that it is just a technical problem.

Afterwards, Rick slowly has a change of heart after briefly conversing with Brian who tried to warn him of who Galvatrain really is from what he learned from Sparkshot along with the Pod that Ernie and Stan covered all this time. This made Rick start to see Ernie and Stan for who they truly are based on the knowledge Brian gave him, in which he reminded him of mistakes that he had done. He confronts Ernie and Stan to question their mutual cooperation, only to have Ernie reveal that all this time, they have manipulated him as a mere pawn for him (refer him nothing but a golden parachute for their success). Before he even had a chance to cope with all of this, Galvatrain reactivated along with other 100 artificial Trainsformers. He then betrays Ernie and Stan, took the Pod away from him, and disobeys Ernie's demand to re-control Galvatrain.

A chase ensues in Tokyo, where he met with other protagonists to help him took the Pod away, but is ambushed by both Galvatran's forces, Ernie, Stan, and there right-hand man Sideshow Bob. He helps the Trainbots and our heroes to fight Galvatrain and his army. Fortunately for him, just as his hacked Trainsformers gain the upper hand, with help of the Kaiju Bots, quickly overpower them and most of the hacked Trainsformers are killed, while the rest of them have escaped.

After the battle, he realizes that sending time with family is more important that science work. And agrees to fill in all the bills of the damage the prototypes have done. He also apparently stopped his Trainsformers development project after a change of heart.

### Personality

Rick was still a nuisance and a prick to the Trainbots and Brian even after he joined them as Rick told Brian to blame himself should his family be killed since Brian's the one who brought them to the war zone, and Rick called Bull a "Fatass Trainbot". Thomas proved that he is still angry at Rick for his demeaning preaching back at the TBC Lab and having rebuilt his nemesis Megatrain, and had Earthquake roar in Rick's face.

Rick is a coward, and he proves to be rather useless in helping Brian and our heroes fight off the robots he himself created. He is easily scared by Earthquake roaring angrily at him, thinking Earthquake almost ate him. He also proved mediocre combat skills against the Rooster Chicken Force agents sent by Ernie and Stan to subdue him, and therefore his granddaughter Sour Sweet, her friends, and a helpful stranger had to deal with those agents to save Rick.
