'''Herr Fiend''' is one of the Renegades. He is the resident Renegade [[mad scientist]], and is depicted as speaking with a thick German accent. <ref>The New Yorker, Volume 61, Page 118</ref>

His alternate mode of a Porsche 928 is identical to the Decepticon Transformers named Dead End.

===Animated series===
In the animated Gobots series Herr Fiend is given the name "Doctor Go."

Doctor Go appears in "Battle for Gobotron" episode #1. Due to animation errors the Renegade Doctor Go appears identical to Zeemon in the pilot series.<REF>{{Cite episode |title= Battle for Gobotron Part 1|episodelink= |series= Challenge of the GoBots|serieslink= Challenge of the GoBots|credits= |network= First-run syndication|station= |airdate= |season= 1|number= 1}}</REF>

In "Doppleganger" episode #23 Cy-Kill has Doctor Go program robot duplicates of the Guardians using recordings he made of the real Guardians. When demonstrating the [[Space Bender]] weapon to Unicom, Leader-1 learns that the Renegades are attacking Washington. The Renegades ambush Leader-1 and replace him with his duplicate. Leading the [[Command Center (Gobots)|Command Center]] back to Gobotron and getting rid of Scooter and Small Foot the Renegades then release duplicates of [[Path Finder (Gobots)|Path Finder]], [[Rest-Q]], [[Van Guard]] and Turbo. Small Foot and Scooter are able to capture the Turbo duplicate and learn where their friends are being held. Cy-Kill then replaces [[Good Night (Gobots)|Good Night]]. Using the duplicate Turbo the Guardians infiltrate the Renegade base, free the captured Guardians and escape from [[Spoons (Gobots)|Spoons]] and [[Fitor]]. Although blocked by the Renegades, Scooter uses a hologram of [[Zod (Gobots)|Zod]] to make the Renegades flee. Making it back to Gobotron the Guardians are attacked by the Guardian duplicates. The real Guardians are able to defeat their duplicates with the aid of the real [[Zeemon]], [[Hans-Cuff]] and Rest-Q. Cy-Kill then arrives in [[Thrustor]] with more duplicates, but Small Foot is able to stop with robots using the Space Bender device, which fuses their robot brains.<ref>{{Cite episode |title= Doppleganger|episodelink= |series= Challenge of the GoBots|serieslink= Challenge of the GoBots|credits= |network= First-run syndication|station= |airdate= |season= 1|number= 23}}</ref>

Doctor Go and Bad Boy send a stealth device to the escaping renegades on the Gobot Prison Moon to cover their escape in a hidden ship.<REF>{{Cite episode |title= Cy-Kill Escapes|episodelink= |series= Challenge of the GoBots|serieslink= Challenge of the GoBots|credits= |network= First-run syndication|station= |airdate= |season= 1|number= 41}}</REF>

Doctor Go appears in the feature film ''[[GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords]]'' where he uses the brain stormer on the female Rock Lord Solitaire. Due to animation errors in the film Doctor Go appears to resemble [[Baron Von Joy]] in the film, meanwhile in some scenes the Guardian [[Zeemon]] appears is occasionally depicted like Doctor Go.
