Jacqueline

Jacqueline is a BotBot from the BotBots continuity.

Do you think she shouts "Head On!" when she gets back to her mannequin body?

Even for robots in disguise standards, Jacqueline is a very shy bot. So much so that she'd rather spend her nights disguised and unseen by the other BotBots than partying with them. It's a good thing Dimlit was able to see her for the lovely bot she is inside and is helping her to come out of her shell—literally as well as metaphorically—more often now that they are dating.

BotBots cartoon

Voice actor: Julie Lemieux (English), Andrea Laudon (Hungarian), Jessy Milianty (Indonesian), Nurul Izzati Saad (Malay), Gaby Milani (Brazilian Portuguese), Rita Ruaz (European Portuguese), Julia Gorohova (Russian), Sara Iglesias (Castilian Spanish), Annie Rojas (Latin-American Spanish)

Though she was brought to life by the same energon cloud as the other BotBots, Jacqueline preferred to stay inside her home store Sunset & Van Ness, content to watch the shenanigans from afar in her disguise mode as a mannequin head. During one of his nightly mall wanders, Dimlit somehow met Jacqueline, and the two hit it off immediately. Dimlit rushed to tell his fellow Lost Bots of the love of his life, and even brought them to meet her... and they were all instantly weirded out when Dimlit pointed them at a mannequin. Even moreso when Dimlit climbed up and talked to its head; with Jacqui's terminal shyness preventing her from revealing herself and Dimlit talking to his friends for her, they assumed that Dimlit was wooing an non-living mannequin. Burgertron and Kikmee decided this had to stop, albeit for different reasons, with Clogstopper and Bonz-Eye both opting to stay out of it, certain that interfering would only lead to trouble. After several attempts to convince Dimlit to call things off, Burgertron and Kikmee were "forced" to take a more direct approach and simply remove the object of Dimlit's affections. They loaded the mannequin onto an electric pallet jack, and set her in the back of a delivery truck that was parked in one of the mall's loading bay docks. After a brief return to the Lost and Found, they quickly ran back to the docks to try and get her off the truck when they saw how absolutely devastated Dimlit was at the loss of his "Jacqui-bear", but the truck was already closing its door and pulling away. However, as it hit a speed bump, the real Jacqueline dislodged herself from the mannequin and rolled safely back into the dock. The two brought her back to the Lost and Found, admitting what they did and presenting the head to Dimlit. The overjoyed flashlight immediately hugged her, then explained to the confused crew that no, Jacqui was just the head, not the whole mannequin! And, much to the Lost Bots' shock, Jacqui finally spoke up, transforming to robot mode and explaining herself. The two lovebirds then decided to finish their pre-dawn stroll through the food court. Dimlit in Love

Six days (and eleven hours) after they fell madly in love, Dimlit asked Jacqui to be his date to Bot Prom, and she agreed even before he could finish the question. The pair then overheard Ulf the Orange, Fottle Barts and Spud Muffin discussing the Lost Bots' recent earning of goodwill from the rest of the BotBots... and were the only ones to overhear Spud growling darkly to himself that, despite Ulf's thoughts on the matter, Burgertron was never going to be allowed back in the Hunger Hubs if he had anything to say about it. The pair raced back to the Lost and Found to warn the Lost Bots, but Burgertron, ever eager to return to his old squad, would hear none of it, unwilling to believe his best fried friend and side-dish sidekick would do such a thing. When Dimlit suggested they skip Bot Prom to avoid whatever Spud had planned, Burgertron angrily told Dimlit that he was the one who shouldn't go, and thus Jacqui chased after an angry Dimlit, who stormed off to do what he always did whenever he was furious... jog-walking. Passing the daycare section, the pair made a horrible discovery: the night security guard Dave, who had been trapped in the foam block pit earlier in the evening, was now free and ready to resume his rounds after a refreshing foam-nap! The pair made multiple attempts to trip Dave up and keep him from discovering Bot Prom, but every one backfired on them, with Dave remaining utterly oblivious to them the entire time. Out of time and options, the pair ran to Prom to warn Burgertron, who came to his senses and believed his friend. Unfortunately, this meant Bot Prom was suddenly canceled in a panic, and the Lost Bots were pariahs once again. On the Bot Prom Dance Floor

Despite this societal setback, Jacqui stayed with Dimlit, and would slowly be seen out and about in the mall more often. She joined Dimlit in the stands of the Ruckus Rally to cheer the racing Lost Bots on The Ruckus Rally, and attended the Goldrush Games as well. The Goldrush Games - Part the Second

Notes

It's right here, Ray. It's looking at me.

• Jacqueline's squad is never revealed in the cartoon. It was clarified by Chris Wyatt she belonged to the Fashion Forwards.^[1]
• Seriously though, her alternate mode is friggin' creepy.
