Doctor BadVibes and Buzzbomb

Dr. BadVibes and Buzzbomb are cartoon characters in the C.O.P.S. series made by Hasbro which ran from 1988-1989.

Doctor BadVibes
Dr. BadVibes is a strange character. He is a mad scientist who once worked at Comtrex before he was fired from his job for stealing components and using them for his own experiments. This is the reason why he became what he is today. BadVibes is seen wearing a lab coat that's either colored white (in the toys and the comics) or tan (in the cartoon). He is easily identified with an abnormally enlarged brain encased in a clear plexiglass dome and is known to create literal brainstorms by charging electricity through his brainwaves to form a cloud that can produce rain, thunder and lightning. He has weird hair, one earring on his left ear (in the cartoon) and strange lenses that he has to wear due to his suffering from myopia (according to the toys series). He has a crazy laugh and is never without his robot companion named Buzzbomb.

Buzzbomb
Buzzbomb is a robot who communicates through either bleep, bloop, and eep sounds (in the cartoon) as well as an occasional alarm sound and the chant of "Intruder Alert!" as shown in part two of The Case of C.O.P.S. File #1 or normal human language, including the usual bloops and bleeps (in the comics). He also has a buzzsaw on his right arm and a clamper on his left. His favorite thing to eat is steel wool cookies and cupcakes, which he earns by doing tasks for BadVibes. He also has a plexiglass dome at the top as well. Unlike normal robots, Buzzbomb can show feelings and emotions and sometimes disagrees with BadVibes (primarily over whether or not Buzzbomb get any share of the loot), which can temporary put a strain on his and BadVibes' relationship. One time, in The Case of the Runaway Buzzbomb, Big Boss hurt Buzzbomb's feelings so bad that Buzzbomb decided to run away - at least for a short while. But eventually he came back and witnessed (along with turning around and chuckling at the sight) Big Boss berating BadVibes for another failed caper.

The Case of The Blur Bandits
Dr. BadVibes is one Big Boss' closest henchmen. He helps him to plan the next caper by bringing up one invention after another. One of the best examples of this is in The Case of the Blur Bandits where BadVibes invents special speed suits to allow the CROOKS to run much faster than normal. Every time they have to use the speed suits, BadVibes warns the CROOKS to not push the speed suits too hard or else the suits will completely disintergrate. Apparently, Berserko forgot the warning while escaping from Highway, causing the suit to get completely disintegrated and Berserko to wind up crashing into a hot dog stand only to get arrested by Highway.

The Case of The Crime Circus
BadVibes at one time owned a mechanical circus which he used as part of a cover-up of a big plot to heist a large treasure of gold bars at a Gold Depository for Big Boss. BadVibes did not count on a little mischievous girl named Samantha (Sam) though, whom BadVibes mistakes for a boy since she's a tomboyish girl, and she helps the C.O.P.S. thwart his plans. Sam gives the BadVibes' mechanical clownmobile the axe just as BadVibes was in the process of robbing the depository of all of its gold bars, destroying it. When Bulletproof and Mainframe arrive, Mainframe is able to correctly identify Sam as a girl instead of a boy. BadVibes escapes but the curtain came down on his criminal circus permanently.

The Case of The Criminal Mall
BadVibes and Buzzbomb were planning on a caper of their own at the grand opening of a large shopping mall. They were planning on stealing a super computer brain used for the mall's theft proof security system built by Mr. Keen, who thinks he can replace all of the security alarms, systems, guards, law enforcers, and even C.O.P.S. with this device. BadVibes begs to differ. Posing as a shoe shine boy, BadVibes polished Keen's shoes, while Buzzbomb scrubed some glowing fluid on the soles of the shoes that acts as a stamping device that leaves behind long lasting glowing footprints Keen leaves behind as he walks away. This allows BadVibes and Buzzbomb to follow them, leading them all the way to the brain of the security system. There, Buzzbomb rips the brain off its base, causing the whole system goes haywire and the brain starts to run away leaving BadVibes and Buzzbomb to pursue it all over the mall until they crashed into Berserko and Rock Krusher, who were sent by Big Boss to help BadVibes steal the brain. Bowser, Blitz, and Mainframe were there to put the brain back where it belongs and arrest the crooks for attempted robbery. However, Buzzbomb came along and bailed BadVibes and Rock Krusher out, flying through the window and out of the mall with BadVibes heard to say to him, "You've done good Buzzbomb. Ye ha ha ha Ha!"

C.O.P.S. For Kids
Dr. BadVibes and Buzzbomb are seen in the PSA segment C.O.P.S. for Kids where BadVibes and Buzzbomb were going for a ride in a car. But BadVibes realized he forgot something so he tells Buzzbomb not to play with the car while he goes for something and leaves. Disobedient, Buzzbomb started to mess around with the car and crashes it. "I thought I told you not to play with the car!" BadVibes exclaimed. Then, Bulletproof tells the young viewers "Take it from BadVibes, kids. Cars are not toys. Besides, you're not as replacable as Buzzbomb is."
