"Deal with the Wheel!"

—Bouncer's official catchphrase

Bouncer is a former Roboto Ball player who is one of the eight new Giants in Skylanders: Giants. He has a Legendary counterpart called Legendary Bouncer, who is a Toys R Us exclusive.

Background

Personality

While still an All-Star Roboto Ball player, Bouncer had a big, lively personality that helped popularized the sport. Even after he no longer plays the sport of Roboto Ball, he still holds a sense of loyalty to his Mabu fanbase, who remembered the security-bot fondly from his playing days, and Bouncer became determined to defeat the Arkeyan King, not wanting to let his fans down when they were enslaved by the Arkeyans.

Biography

Long ago, Bouncer was an All-Star Roboto Ball player. But when the evil Arkeyan Empire destroyed his home town and discontinued the games, he was converted into a security-bot and stationed in the mines. It was there that Bouncer encountered dozens of Mabu prisoners who remembered him fondly from his playing days. He quickly became a bit of a celebrity around the mines, and it wasn't long before this new adulation convinced him that he could be just as much of a hero in life as he was on the field. Thus, he decided to join the Skylanders and take a stand against the evil Arkeyan overlords.

Story

History

Bouncer, along with the other Giants, participated in the fight against the Arkeyans for the freedom of Skylands. To truly stop their tyrannical foe, the Giants confronted the Arkeyan King himself and his army of War Machines. Although the Giants were victorious in their battle against the Arkeyans, and ended their reign of terror, the Iron Fist of Arkus used the last of its remaining powers to sweep all eight Giants from Skylands and banished them to Earth, where they would remain for 10,000 years.

Abilities

Bouncer’s base power is shooting out the tips of his fingers. He is quite famous for various ricochet trick shots with these blasters. Bouncer can launch rockets from his shoulders, and use an aiming reticule to make them land in a very precise spot.

Trivia

• During production of Giants, Bouncer first started out as an unnamed dark Arkeyan.^[1]
• Bouncer and Drill Sergeant are the only Tech Skylanders so far to be fully robotic.
• He may be Arkeyan, considering in the Lost City of Arkus, the Weapon Master says that Roboto-Ball was an Arkeyan sport. He also has an Arkeyan color scheme, like Drill Sergeant (who is confirmed to be made by the Arkeyans). It is also possible that he was created by the Arkeyans for sport purposes.
• Bouncer bears a resemblance to the Iron Giant, the title character of the movie, The Iron Giant.
• Bouncer's elemental symbol is on his chest, and his back.
• Bouncer is voiced by Bumper Robinson. Some people know him as the voice of Bumblebee, Blitzwing and Porter C. Powell in Transformers Animated. Ironically, Bouncer, Bumblebee and Blitzwing are robots.
  • Bumper Robinson is also known for the voice of Rook Blonko in the 2012-present series Ben 10 Omniverse.
• When defeated, his defeat screen on the Portal of Power shows the gear on his chest falling out.
• He bears a slight resemblance to GridMan from the MegaMan Battle Network series.
• Bouncer's head slighty resembles Clank from Ratchet and Clank.
  • Also, the Qwark-Bots in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal greatly resemble Bouncer, as they both have fingerguns, a wheel instead of feet, and their overall shapes are similar.
• He and Ninjini are the only Giants without feet.
• His face slightly resembles Drill-X's.
• Bouncer is the only Giant to have a Legendary counterpart..
