Cosmos
This one was always a favorite. The toy was a perfect little thing, going from a UFO to robot. The transformation was simple, true, but it worked. The file card was cute too. Cosmos's job was recon and communications so as such he was often bored. To fight this, he'll sometimes race between meteors, or spook farmers by hovering over their fields.
Not sure why, this just struck me as funny.
For the comic, he was first introduced as a member of Perceptor's rebel group. That's about it, as he seemed stuck as a background character, mostly just watching as battles unfolded. He made it to #50 before just vanishing off into space.
The cartoon had him faring a bit better. Voiced by Michael McConnohie, his role here was similar to his file card, although they gave him the added quirk of crashing. Seriously, he crash-landed in nearly episode that featured him, like a little round Launchpad McQuack.
Cute overall but a pity he wasn't used more.
