- – Bouncer's official catchphrase
Bouncer is a Tech Skylander and one of the eight Giants in Skylanders: Giants. He also has a Legendary counterpart called Legendary Bouncer.
Background
Personality
While still an All-Star Roboto Ball player, Bouncer had a big, lively personality that helped popularized the sport. Even after he no longer plays the sport of Roboto Ball, he still holds a sense of loyalty to his Mabu fanbase, who remembered the security-bot fondly from his playing days, and Bouncer became determined to defeat the Arkeyan King, not wanting to let his fans down when they were enslaved by the Arkeyans.
Biography
Long ago, Bouncer was an All-Star Roboto Ball player. But when the Arkeyan Empire destroyed his home town and discontinued the games, he was converted into a security-bot and stationed in the mines. It was there that Bouncer encountered dozens of Mabu prisoners who remembered him fondly from his playing days. He quickly became a bit of a celebrity around the mines, and it wasn't long before this new adulation convinced him that he could be just as much of a hero in life as he was on the field. Thus, he decided to join the Skylanders and take a stand against the evil, Arkeyan overlords.
Story
History
Back in the day, Bouncer was an All-Star Roboto Ball player, amazing his Mabu fans with his speed, accuracy and lively personality. His trick shots were famed across all of Skylands. His games were watched by thousands. Then the Arkeyans had to go and spoil everything by destroying his home town and outlawing Roboto Ball. His fans were enslaved and sent to work in the mines. Bouncer was converted into a security robot and sent to the mines to make sure the Mabu didn't try any funny stuff.
Down there in the dark, Bouncer met many Mabu who remembered his glory days on the field. Their sense of loyalty touched the hulking robot, and instead of doing the Arkeyans' dirty work, he decided to fight against them. Cheered on by his army of fans, Bouncer used his Roboto Balls skills to free the slaves, then joined with the other Giants in the war against the Arkeyan King.[1]
Skylanders Issue #5
Bouncer was the most vocal about Blades when the young dragon was threatening to ruin the mission of destroying the Machine Magus due to his cocky and rebellious nature. He, Trigger Happy and Night Shift all shared doubts and concerns about Blades during a portion of the mission. When the robot considered teaching Blades a lesson after the young dragon ran off, Bouncer was reassured by Night Shift that Blades would learn his lesson the hard way on his own. The Skylanders managed to rescue Blades just in time from the Machine Magus and defeated the Drow leader as a team. Afterwards, Blades apologized for his actions, earning Bouncer's respect.
Gameplay
Bouncer's attacks include finger pistols, in which he shoots out some tiny bouncy balls, shoulder mounted cannons with which he fires powerful (and slow) missles with a targeting computer, and can't move leaving him open to attack; and finally, I-Beam, where he shoots strong lasers from his eyes for close range combat, but it can overheat if used too long and it lowers his speed when using it.

Trivia
- His name is probably based on bouncers, which are security guards for various exclusive locations.
- Chopper was originally going to be the Tech Giant in Skylanders: Giants, but as T-Rexes were more horizontal than vertical, it wouldn't fit on the Portal of Power. Eventually, the development team tried other ideas for the Tech Giant until they created Bouncer.[2]
- Interestingly, He and Chopper have the ability to fire missles.
- He also slightly resembles Gizmoduck from DuckTales.
- His Fingerguns resemble the hand gesture of the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
- He may be Arkeyan, as mentioned by one in the Lost City of Arkus that Roboto Ball was an Arkeyan Sport.
- He and Ninjini are the only Giants without legs.
- His base is much smaller than the base of all other Giants.
- Bouncer is voiced by Bumper Robinson who voices Bumblebee and Blitzwing in Transformers Animated, Rook Blonko and Bloxx in Ben 10: Omniverse and Falcon in "Avengers Assemble".
- One of Bouncer's prototype color schemes has the same colors as Molten Hot Dog.
- Bouncer originally started as an unnamed Dark Arkeyan. It was scrapped because it didn't feel like a Skylander.[3]
- When first revealed at E3 2012, Bouncer's original biography states that he took too many hits to the head with a Roboto-Ball and decided to retire from the game, with the sport eventually fading away.
- In Trap Team, Bouncer's jumping animation has been redone with him preforming a backflip.
