Gongis a mysterious, imp-ish figure with power over time and space. Although nominally aRenegade,no one knows where he truly comes from.

Gong apparently servesCy-Killout of a sense of fun, but his loyalty to the Renegade overlord and their cause has never been truly tested.

Echoes and Fragments
Gong was hanging out atMaccadam's Old Oil Houseon a version ofCybertronwhen he ran into a seemingly-similar mischief-maker namedSideways.The two invaders from foreign dimensions shared a drink, and Gong began bragging that his Guardians and Renegades would fare well against the upcoming attack ofUnicron.Sideways got him to put it to a wager, and together they planned to manipulate theOmega Locksacross two universes to blend this reality with one containing Gong'sGoBotcontemporaries.
Gong reached Cybertron's Omega Lock and began tweaking one-dimensional strings and the vibrational frequencies they used to define that universe. Under his influence, the Renegades ofGoBotronreplaced the Decepticons in the events leading up to the attack onAutobot City.Meanwhile, Sideways found his own Omega Lock terminal at the core ofOld GoBotronin the second reality. His manipulations inverted the factions at play, restoring the Decepticons but now showing the Guardians of Guardian City defending against the invasion from their enemies. Sideways began to play again, mixing Autobots and Guardians, Decepticons and Renegades, before being pursued byVec-Tor.
Sideways was captured by Vec-Tor and the Guardians, leaving Gong without a playmate to match wits with. He grew bored at the Omega Lock until Sideways escaped and called to alert Gong that Vec-Tor was coming for him. They laid a trap for Vec-Tor, getting him magnetized to Gong while Sideways was free to strike at the elderly Guardian. Somewhat fortunately, Unicron began his attack on Cybertron at that moment, causing cyber-quakes which freed Vec-Tor to swing Gong into a conduit, shocking him unconscious.
Vec-Tor and Sideways battled over the controls of the Omega Lock, while Vec-Tor tried to discern Sideways' true motives. Gong awakened in time to hear Sideways call the Renegade trickster an idiot, and his plan all along was to cause the destruction of the universe at Unicron's hands. Sideways was injured by Vec-Tor and forced to flee, leaving the Guardian to fix the dimensional strings just in time. As he tended to his wounds, Sideways was approached by a vengeful Gong, looking to pay him back for the earlier insult...Echoes and Fragments
