Go-Bots comic

Paired with his Go-Bot Leader-1, Commander Nick Burns was one of the US military's most skilled pilots. Despite the rash and ultimately fatal actions of Beaky, Nick was able to save hostages taken by a foreign power after Leader-1 massacred the guards. The pair returned to the Go-Bot Command Center in the Pentagon for debriefing and their next mission—to find and neutralize a band of rogue Go-Bots led by the former gladiator Cy-Kill near Route 66. Nick spoke to one of the Renegade victims, a man who had been traumatized by Crasher, before they set off. Initially, the hunt seemed futile before Leader-1 detected the group. Cop-Tur attempted to intercept them but was shot down. However, the pair had underestimated the number of Renegades and the power of Cy-Kill, who engaged Leader-1 in a savage duel. Nick was badly injured during the fight and pleaded with Leader-1 not to listen to Cy-Kill's rhetoric—though his Go-Bot asked him to keep quiet. Leader-1 ultimately turned down Cy-Kill's offer to join him but was overwhelmed by the Renegades, who took his knowledge of codes and other military information from his brain and set off to overthrow mankind.

Leader-1 was able to escape crushing at the hands of Pocket and Crossword, but the US military were unable to raise Nick during their fight against the uprising. Leader-1 entered the battle on the side of humanity, ultimately beating Cy-Kill in another no-holds-barred fight but then had doubts over whether to lead the Go-Bots to freedom or return them to servitude, cradling Nick's broken body as he pondered his next move. Go-Bots #2

Leader-1 took the third option of setting himself up as autocratic king of the Go-Bots. After he was finally killed by Cy-Kill, Leader-1 had visions of Eno and Nick. Go-Bots #4 When Leader-1's body was later salvaged by Road Ranger and Bug Bite, they found Nick had never been removed from the Go-Bot, his skeleton still being in Leader-1's cockpit. Go-Bots #5
