He likes driving his yellow car with 6 wheels. He has shiny silver arms and legs with lines on them. His built-in speaker on his chest is black. His special ray is red and it's on his head, as he can use it to beam stuff down. His musical instrument he can play is his keytar (part guitar, and part keyboard). His car has the number 5 on it. He's the oldest, wisest, and smartest of the Gabba Gang. He can skateboard well, and he can show Muno how it's done. In the episode, the red light on his head blinks.
