Brawny Gungho worked for producer Wilbur Z. Sprockethole the Third, who cast him (along with Pex Ripple) as one of the two leads in a movie about Amy Rose and Tekno the Canary. He was a bit simple, being easily confused by big words. Despite his big muscles, he was a coward and a terrible fighter. When Badniks attacked the studio, he attempted to flee but was caught by the arm and swung around. He was rescued by Amy and quickly developed a crush on her.
