Buddy Thunderstruck

Buddy Thunderstruck is the main protagonist in the Netflix original series of the same name. He's a country dog who enters the truck races in Greasepit.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He's American Greetings' done right version of Nelvana's ill-fated Bubsy-like mascot, Scaredy Squirrel
 * 2) He is hilarious. Especially when he's oblivious to his own stupidity.
 * 3) He handles bullies in a mature matter & doesn't throw a fit about it and also he is a bit intelligent.
 * 4) He is viewed as the ace to most citizens of Greasepit.
 * 5) He and his sidekick Darnell provide excellent chemistry together.
 * 6) He is a master of an old arcade game created by Handsome Joe.
 * 7) He is the many faces of the best of Netflix.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While likable, he tends to screw things up at times, whether intentional or unintentional.
 * 2) He was flanderized in the infamous episodes, "Get the Hock Out" (much like the other Greasepit townspeople) and "Cannonballistic" into a dumber and immature driver who only cares about being a repo man than his main goal to get his stuff back from Big Tex and often does very stupid things in front of people including Darnell like he doesn't care for the bad things that happen to himself, even worse is that he never gets punished nor arrested by Sheriff Cannonball for stealing.
 * 3) He can be a Gary-Stu at times.
 * 4) Just like Rainbow Dash, he is a bit competitive and hates losing whatever he wants to race.
 * 5) Sometimes Buddy has overused a lot of character development somewhat annoying to some people.
