GO-4 (GO-FR) is the secondary antagonist of the 2008 Disney/Pixar animated feature film WALL-E.
Background[]
GO-4 used his personal elevator system to move fast around the Axiom. The entrances/exits of the elevator were usually at Steward Kiosks, the places where SECUR-T (Stewards) would wait inactive until they were needed. The elevator also granted GO-4 access to the captain's quarters.
Physical appearance[]
He is quite small and easily recognizable due to the red police light atop his body. His body weakly resembles that of an American football. GO-4 is equipped with two salute-ready arms and an anti-gravity stasis beam. For communication, he had various beeps and other sounds, similar to R2-D2 from Star Wars. GO-4 units also can deliver coffee to superiors.
Appearances[]
WALL-E[]
He is first seen descending a personal elevator near two activating Stewards. With beeps, he directs them to the docking area where the EVE's retreat for evaluation.
He scans them, even scanning WALL-E accidentally while founding a probe with positive results. As a robotic arm picks her up and places her to a MVR-A, GO-4 tells the Stewards to lead the MVR-A until it was carried to a People Mover.
As the MVR-A with the positive probe is brought to the Captain's quarters, he communicates with AUTO with a series of beeps, possibly about the secret directive A-113.
As AUTO's secret directive is found by the Captain, AUTO sends GO-4 to the quarters to attempt discarding the plant. He hisses to intimidate his enemies. As Wall-E is found from the garbage shoot, GO-4 traps EVE in his suspension beam.
He was accidentally destroyed when he attempted to assist AUTO in taking down Captain B. McCrea and was kicked and sent flying through a window and crashing down near one of the swimming pools in the Lido Deck, obliterating him.
Other appearances[]
A GO-4 appears briefly in the short BURN-E, which takes place during the events of the film.
One also appears in the video game, but it doesn't break.

Trivia[]
- GO-4 is a pun on how personal assistants are often referred to as "gophers/gofers," a verbal pun as they are often sent to "Go for (GO-4) things."
- When GO-4 is sent flying out of the window, he makes a whistling sound and a smash sound effect very similar to the sound Wile E. Coyote makes when falling off a cliff in Looney Tunes.
- According to the Pixarpedia, GO-4, like Auto, are not sentient, and therefore they lack technical alignment, as all they do are following orders since they can't think.
