With help from Ms. Tarantula, they manage to escape the police on the streets of Cairo. The Bad Guys: The Series Before the events of the Halloween special, Christmas special and the first film, Ms Tarantula used her computers. ADVERTISEMENT The Bad Guys: Haunted Heist Before the events of the film and the Christmas special, Wolf tells the gang about a legendary treasure belonging to Reginald E. Scary, saying that anyone who takes it will be haunted for life. They don't believe him, however he is known to prank them on Halloween by scaring them. He promises not to scare them when he heads to Scary's mansion. While there, they are constantly frightened by the automatic devices that Scary set up to scare off the thieves. They manage to find the treasure, the amulet, and steal it, but not before Wolf plays one more prank on them. In their hideout, Wolf starts going crazy, hearing music that no one else is making, and having a strange dream. Thinking he must return the amulet to appease Scary, Wolf gathers the crew to return to the mansion. They head to the mansion when the gang is kidnapped, leading to Wolf returning the amulet. It soon became apparent that the others were making fun of Wolf after he did the same to them. However, when Wolf takes the amulet again, it disintegrates before revealing that he knew about the prank. The others are angry with him. The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday Prior to the events depicted in the film, the Bad Guys are traversing the city with the intention of carrying out a bank heist on Christmas. They plan to use the fact that people will be preoccupied with celebration in their homes. During a parade, their vehicle becomes entangled with a cherished Santa Claus balloon, resulting in its unintentional destruction. Consequently, the city's morale plummets to such an extent that Christmas is called off. Worried about the feasibility of their crime, the Bad Guys decide to uplift the spirits of the city. Initially, Webs proposes substituting the balloon with a Santa Claus exoskeleton she has constructed, however, the remaining members of the group object, seeing it excessively menacing in appearance. Alternatively, Wolf proposes the idea of reconstructing the balloon, but, the outcome is unsightly and subsequently abandoned. With only 12 hours remaining before Christmas morning, their intention is to infiltrate a radio station in order to broadcast Christmas songs once more, as they have been supplanted by rap music. Meanwhile, Wolf and Snake will pilfer presents and distribute them to people's residences. Despite the plan's success, Wolf believes that snow is necessary to completely revive people's enthusiasm. To do this, Webs alters a street-side shaved ice machine. However, Wolf, against her instructions, amplifies its power output. The snowfall commences, but rapidly escalates into an ice storm that instills fear and panic throughout the city. The gang admonishes Wolf for his proclivity to exceed reasonable limits, but they pardon him when he confesses that his intention was merely to orchestrate the most exceptional heist for their benefit, rather than seeking to impress them. Wolf using the Santa Claus exoskeleton to disable the ice machine. After the storm subsides, the exoskeleton assumes the role of the city's esteemed champion and symbol. Using its microphone, Shark instructs the inhabitants to return to their residences. The criminals return to their secret location, but, they have contracted a respiratory illness and are unable to proceed with the planned theft. Unexpectedly and with a sense of disappointment, they discover gifts from Santa Claus, despite their consistent acts of kindness. Consequently, they initiate the development of a strategy to burglarize Santa's workshop in order to demonstrate their eligibility for the naughty list. ADVERTISEMENT The Bad Guys As Wolf and Snake flee from the police after their bank robbery, Tarantula hijacks the traffic lights to cause a crash into the police cars and then jumps into Wolf's car. She also orders a birthday cake for Snake while trolling him about his dislike of birthdays. Once Shark and Piranha are recovered, Tarantula notices that Piranha forgot the gift for Snake. Piranha claims he hasn't forgotten but Tarantula knows he is lying because he farts when he lies. The gang then escapes from an additional chase initiated by Wolf just to provoke Chief Misty Luggins. Back at their lair, the Bad Guys insist on celebrating Snake's birthday, but he ruins the moment by blowing out the candles before the song ends, although the cantankerous reptile still makes a toast for his friends. Tarantula then tries to remind Shark that Snake is going to pretend to share his push pop with him, causing a fight which Tarantula and Piranha try to stop when Shark again falls for it. They quickly return their attention to TV news about their heist, but the gang is quickly outraged and insulted when Governor Diane Foxington disparages their reputations (calling them second rate has-beens and what they do is out of anger, denial, and self-loathing), Tarantula regretting voting for her. Faced with this affront, Wolf convinces his friends to make the ultimate move of their lives where many other thieves have failed, that is to say, stealing the Golden Dolphin trophy at the Good Samaritan Award gala. On the day of the heist, Tarantula poses as the decoration on the hat of Shark's disguise and then sneaks out until she reaches the surveillance room where she traps the vigilante in his web and begins the hack. When Wolf, Snake, and Piranha manage to enter the room where the golden object is kept but find themselves confronted by the security system designed specifically against them, Tarantula tries to outwit the system only to have her first attempt fail to her dismay. Wolf and Snake giving amateur advice that doesn't help with the impending trophy presentation and Luggins trying to get in, Tarantula goes all out by pulling out extra keyboards from her computer so she can use six limbs instead of two. Unfortunately, Piranha's farts intoxicate her before she finishes, but a diversion from Shark as Luggins started to open the door allows the foul smell to escape and Tarantula to finish her task before escaping. Their ultimate successful steal, the Bad Guys advance with pride towards the exit. However, Wolf's tail starting to wag at Professor Rupert Marmalade's speech blows their cover and the dozens of hidden cops capture them, Tarantula is being locked in a jar and then chained around the waist in a van. After Wolf convinces Marmalade and Diane to give them a chance to be better people, his friends believe he's gone mad until the canine explains to them that his plan is to feign redemption only to steal the dolphin again when they have another good opportunity, much to the devilish excitement of the rest of the gang. Housed in the professor's mansion, the Bad Guys attend his redemption classes but fail miserably each time. Marmalade then gives them a humanitarian mission to enter a research laboratory to save guinea pigs to be used as guinea pigs, this with animal costumes so grotesque that Tarantula says goodbye to his dignity. The mission is ultimately a fiasco after Snake swallows all the critters but thanks to Wolf convincing Diane to give them one last chance and rescuing a cat from a palm tree, the Bad Guys earn a spot at the Meteorite Festival Gala. Upon arriving, the band is cheered on by the crowd, much to their dismay as it had never happened to them. Despite some complications in their attempts at theft, the Bad Guys almost achieve their objectives until Wolf, who has taken a liking to being loved, does not go through with it at the last moment. Suddenly, a blackout occurs and the meteorite is stolen, with everyone quickly blaming the five animals for trying to get away, only for Piranha's childish recklessness to get them caught. Locked in the van again, they receive a private visit from Marmalade, who turns out to be the real thief, having viciously used the Bad Guys from the start to steal the meteorite, making it an important source of energy. Arriving in prison, the gang questions Wolf about his change in behavior since their first robbery attempt and are all shocked to learn that Wolf likes to be good. Like the others, Tarantula is shocked and hurt when Wolf admits he doesn't want to be a bad guy anymore and dares to say his lifelong friends are just a burden to him. The Bad Guys are subsequently rescued by legendary thief Crimson Paw, who turns out to be Diane all along. Back on the coast, Tarantula, Snake, Shark and Piranha selfishly abandon Wolf for feeling like he betrayed their friendship, though Tarantula and Shark seem to be the least bitter towards Wolf. After arriving back at their lair only to find it completely drained of their loot and belongings, Tarantula is the first one to show surprise at Snake's selfless gesture towards a crying Shark by giving him the last push pop, especially since Snake is the most infamous of the bunch. She begins to think that maybe Wolf was right that they can be so much more than horrible bad guys. Tarantula's butt, Shark's dorsal fin, Piranha's fin-like hair and Snake's tail start wagging uncontrollably similar to Wolf's tail and this makes them happy but Snake refuses to believe they can be anything other than the despicable Bad Guys and abandons them in anger (but it was all a trick to get Marmalade to reveal his true colors and get payback at him for trying to destroy his friendship with Wolf). Ultimately regretting having abandoned Wolf, Tarantula, Shark, and Piranha rescue him and Diane from a trap by Marmalade and happily reconcile with Wolf. They then board the meteorite on Wolf's car under the nose of Marmalade now allied with Snake and escape from the manor. The fleeing band is chased by three armored vans driven by guinea pigs under the control of Marmalade. Helped by Diane on a motorcycle, Tarantula manages to hack the vehicles and when the vixen asks her about her hacking talent, Tarantula shyly admits having learned everything thanks to YouTube. With the foursome about to return the meteorite to the police, they realize they miss Snake despite betraying them and decide to go back for him. Pursuing Marmalade's helicopter to try and get Snake back, the gang are chased by hundreds of guinea pigs, with Tarantula coming to say that this isn't how she imagined her day. Marmalade eventually betrays Snake and uses him to demand the meteorite in exchange, then throws him into the void where the meteorite once crashed, prompting the foursome to attempt to jump across the destroyed bridge by car to save Snake, but also end up falling into the crater. As they continue to fall, the five friends are happy to be all reunited to the point of crying until Wolf uses his grappling hook to stop the fall. Returning to the top of the bridge, the Bad Guys are once again surrounded by the cops, and although Diane is ready to plead their innocence to the point of revealing her criminality, Tarantula and her friends decide to obediently go inside at once to atone for all of their previous thefts and to spare Diane from sacrificing herself for them. Tarantula is then exasperated that Marmalade got away with his scheme until the meteorite turns out to be just a lamp and Snake promptly reveals that he only pretended to ally with Marmalade to better bring about the destruction of the real meteorite left in the manor. Marmalade's defeat is complete when Luggins mistakes him for the real Crimson Paw upon finding on the guinea pig a diamond Diane once stole and arrests him. A year later, the Bad Guys are released for good behavior and are greeted upon their release from prison by Diane, who still has plans for her five friends. ADVERTISEMENT The Bad Guys in Maraschino Ruby Mr. Wolf and Mr. Snake exit a gas station convenience store while reading a newspaper. On the front page is an article about The Maraschino Ruby. Snake questions why The Bad Guys would want to steal the Ruby, as it is too dangerous. Wolf is confused by this, given that they have a clean slate. Wolf also mentions Police Chief Misty Luggins' statement: "The Ruby is safe from those stupid, lame and stupid Bad Guys." Appalled at being called stupid twice, Snake decides to help. As they get into the car with their friends, Wolf catches Snake licking a Push Pop, asking him if he paid for it. Snake sarcastically answers, and the LAPD show up. The Bad Guys drive off. Wolf explains his strategy to get into the Museum of Fine Arts and get to the Ruby. Meanwhile, Luggins catches someone, believing them to be The Bad Guys, and says she anticipated them to be here after calling them stupid twice, but discovers that it is really Officer Bob, much to her confusion. Bob says that the News believes the Maraschino Ruby to be fake and, upon inspecting it, he confirms it to be made of candy. Luggins confirms this too, as she made it and that she has the real Ruby. Luggins tells him that it's part of a plan to catch The Bad Guys: she believes The Bad Guys might still be pretending to go good and wants to prove it by catching them with the Ruby after they reacted to her making a comment about them with two stupids instead of one. However, much to her shock, Bob tells her that The Bad Guys were already arrested earlier today. At the police station, Luggins finds the Bad Guys (minus Shark) in the interrogation room, with Wolf commenting on her statement. Bob tells her that they were brought in for stealing a Push Pop. Snake says they allegedly did it, but after he licks the Push Pop, he realizes that he and his friends are busted. Luggins gloats at them and declares them guilty, even if it was for a minor felon. However, before she can book them, Shark comes in disguised as a lawyer named Jude Lawson, and presents Luggins with a receipt for 79 cents, proving that they did not steal the Push Pop. However, he adds that Luggins was breaking the law herself by committing entrapment when she planted the fake Maraschino Ruby for them to steal. At Shark's request, Bob arrests her, confirming this since it is a major legal infraction. Wolf tells Luggins that he and his friends won't press charges if he retracts her statement about The Bad Guys being stupid, and dials City News, much to Luggins' chagrin. Later today, Luggins is in her office, crying in a defeated manner. Bob tells her that the good news is the Real Maraschino Ruby was returned to the museum. Luggins is surprised by this, since she didn't return the real Ruby. Upon finding a Push Pop in her pocket, she soon realizes Wolf took the real Ruby and The Bad Guys broke into the museum just to replace the fake Ruby with the real one. Bob proudly admires the Bad Guys' good deed and says they are not so bad after all, which angers Luggins very viciously, causing her to break the Push Pop in two and scream in rage. Wolf and Snake leave the store again, looking at the news about the real Ruby's return to the museum and Luggins' new statement, and calls the job easy. Snake, holding up the fake ruby agrees, saying it was like literally taking candy from a baby. A very large and really angry baby. He eats the candy ruby as he and Wolf drive off with their friends. ADVERTISEMENT The Bad Guys in Little Lies and Alibis Mr. Wolf nervously enters the Parole Office and introduces himself and his associates to their Parole Officer, as the rest of The Bad Guys enter the Parole Office. The Bad Guys are in a complete mess of bruises and messy clothes, with Wolf's face covered in blue dye, Shark holding an IV pole and wearing a respirator mask, Piranha wearing a mask of himself, covered in a tire mark and accompanied by a chicken, Webs completely fuzzed up and her face covered in soot, and Snake's neck tied in a knot. Wolf begins to explain, but the Officer stops them, stamps a document, and permits them to continue. Wolf tells her that he and his crew know they are 10 minutes late to their Parole check-in, though Piranha, after looking at the clock, corrects him by saying it was 12 minutes, and Snake smacks him on the head in response. Mr. Wolf explains to the officer what happened that led them to being late, as it is a really funny story, and, according to Shark, very "law-abiding" : The Bad Guys were at the diner, getting breakfast since they were running early to their check-in. They are pleased to be off parole in a couple hours, and Wolf is proud that The Bad Guys didn't cause so much as one single legal infraction for 6 months. But, just as they clinked their wine glasses full of orange juice, a tow truck took Wolf's car away, implying he parked it ilegally by accident. and The Bad Guys frantically rush out of the diner, and Wolf tells the Parole Officer that his car getting towed was a valet being "generous enough" to take his car without asking. He then tells the Parole Officer that he and his crew went to the impound lot to retrieve his car, and Wolf was giving the manager an extra generous tip. Shark was trying to get a snack from the vending machine, but couldn't, much to his frustration. Webs tells him the reason is because the vending machine is unplugged, due to too many plugs being put into the outlet extension. But Piranha, not listening, plugs the vending machine in, electrocuting Webs and causing a circuit overload that disables the crane's magnet and drops an old, blue, beat-up car right onto Wolf's car, crushing it to pieces, horrifying Wolf to the point of screaming, "AHHH! MY CAR!!!!!!". With their car destroyed AGAIN, the Bad Guys were forced to take the bus to get to the Parole Office. The fuzzed up Webs, who is being held by Wolf, believes something to be not right and asks her friends if they took the right bus. This causes them to indirectly reveal they had no idea there was more than one bus. They were dropped off in the middle of the desert, miles from the city. But Piranha needed to go to the bathroom, and immediately runs to a gas station where there is a restroom, but also a line of scary bikers waiting there, too. Piranha tries to open the door, but it is locked at the moment, and Piranha explained to the Parole Officer that the biker went crazy on him for no reason, despite the fact Piranha actually cut in line, and the lead biker pulled him away from the door, but Piranha pulled the door off its hinges, and the biker inside screams in surprise. Piranha said that, being a master of conflict resolution, he peacefully and gracefully de-escalated the situation, but he actually reacted angrily to the lead biker calling him "chum bucket", and attempts to attack the lead biker, and Wolf was too late to stop him. Later, Wolf and The Bad Guys were beaten senseless and buried up to their necks by the bikers, which Wolf said was a relaxing mud bath rewarded to them for Piranha's efforts. Piranha urinates in the sand, and Webs noticed him smiling, and Piranha said he's doesn't need to go to the bathroom anymore, disgusting his friends. After getting out of the sand, The Bad Guys attempted to get a rideshare, which Wolf told the Officer was an eco-friendly option. His patience worn out, and he and his friends not having any luck, Piranha steps into the middle of the road just as a truck heads his way. The truck runs over him, causing the driver to stop. Pirahna is still alive, but got the tire mark on his face. Wolf said the driver gave them a ride, but really, he just yelled at Piranha for standing in the middle of the road before getting back in and driving off, and The Bad Guys grabbed Piranha and snuck in the back. However, they realized too late the truck was delivering chickens, and Snake goes into hungry mode upon seeing them. Snake devours them all, but Wolf opens the door and forces all the chickens out of Snake's stomach and into the street. This distracts the driver and causes him to swerve, and The Bad Guys hang on for their lives. Wolf said it got a little fuzzy, but he remembers taking the scenic route. The Bad Guys fall onto a scooter with one of the chickens and drive frantically, with Wolf hanging onto the rear of the scooter in a panic. And then a montage of events shows what happens next according to what The Bad Guys thought happened next, including driving through a construction site, knocking over a graffiti artist, smashing through a fence in an alley, hanging perilously from a helicopter, Wolf giving Shark CPR at the hospital, and Snake playing chess in the park. Finally, after all that chaos, The Bad Guys, bruised, beaten and utterly exhausted, finally make it to the Parole Office with 10 minutes to spare, but they stopped short at Wolf opening the door when two robbers storm a bank, much to their chagrin. Wolf whines about this one little thing they have to do before going into the Parole Office, despite Snake suggesting ignoring them. Wolf said they set some rogue youths on a better path, but what really happened is...just as the robbers, who were wearing masks of Wolf and Piranha, told the terrified Bank Teller to put the money in their bag, The Bad Guys enter and Wolf compliments their outfits. The robbers are excited to see them, since they are big fans of them. Wolf congratulates them for thinking of everything, including their escape route and disabling the security cameras, including the one behind the fake plant, which Webs pointed out, and Shark pointed out the silent alarm, and Wolf asks if they DID cut the silent alarm, and the robbers, knowing they forgot about that, tell him they did, but ask him what would happen if they didn't. Wolf tells them not to worry about it, since the police's response time is...12 seconds-ish. The Robbers flee the bank in fear, and Wolf returns the loot to the Bank Teller, but not before a dye pack explodes from the bag, covering Wolf's face in blue dye. With no time to clean up, Wolf and his crew made their way to the Parole Office, and he tells the Parole Officer that is all what happened. The officer finds the story fascinating, and Wolf insists that they are serious about turning over a new leaf and leaving their life of crime behind. The lady tells them she's convinced, much to The Bad Guys' joy, but says this is something they will need to explain to their ACTUAL Parole Officer. She reveals they arrived at the post office instead, which happens a lot, and that the Post Office is south Main Street, while the Parole Office is NORTH of main street, and wishes them good luck. Realizing that they were at the wrong place this whole time, and that they are now 3 hours 56 minutes late to their parole check-in, since Wolf spent 3 hours 44 minutes explaining what happened, The Bad Guys thank the Post Office worker for the directions and corrections, and they frantically leave to head to the Parole Office, hoping they can get there before they end up in more trouble than they were when they arrived at The Post Office. ADVERTISEMENT The Bad Guys 2 Following the defeat of Professor Marmalade and their recent release from prison, the Bad Guys have since reformed but struggle to fit into society. Wolf, Shark, Piranha, and Tarantula unsuccessfully apply for jobs while Snake is frequently away from home. Wolf spends his time with Diane and they grow closer, but they cannot start a relationship due to him being an ex-criminal and her being governor. Inspired by Diane to give people a reason to accept them, Wolf helps Commissioner Luggins track down the Phantom Bandit, a new criminal known for being untraceable. They soon find evidence leading to the bandit being Snake, only to later realize he was with his new girlfriend, Susan. In an attempt to expose the Phantom Bandit at a lucha libre wrestling tournament, the Bad Guys are framed by a pig for the Phantom Bandit's work. Wolf calls Diane to maintain their innocence and she agrees to help them. The Bad Guys are later kidnapped by a trio of female criminals: Kitty Kat, Pigtail Petrova, and Doom. Kitty was the Phantom Bandit, Pigtail was the pig who framed the Bad Guys, and Doom used the name "Susan" as an alias and was using Snake to lure the Bad Guys. Kitty recruits them to help steal the experimental MOON-X rocket, using secret video footage revealing Diane as the Crimson Paw, her former criminal identity, as blackmail, so the Bad Guys reluctantly acquiesces. Meanwhile, Diane visits Marmalade in prison, where he reveals that Kitty plans to use the Multinational Space Station to steal all of the world's gold with MacGuffin ite, a rare metal which can magnetically attract gold. The group begins their plan by successfully stealing the smartwatch of the rocket's owner, Mr. Moon, at his wedding. Kitty gives Wolf the footage on a flash drive as promised, but traps them after the Bad Guys record her confession. Kitty uploads the footage to the internet, which reveals Diane's secret identity globally, and alerts the police of the Bad Guys' location. Diane confronts the girls before they board the rocket, but Kitty reveals that the footage is now live. A devastated Diane is tranquilized by Kitty while distracted, but manages to sneak on board while half-conscious. Luggins arrests the Bad Guys, but admits that she trusts them and helps them board the rocket mid-launch via helicopter. After learning the Bad Guys snuck onboard, Doom and Pigtail do not want to attack them, but Kitty refuses to give up the plan and overpowers the machine, endangering millions of people while magnetizing a large amount of gold, along with a limo including a newly-acquitted Marmalade. When Wolf reaches her, Kitty breaks the magnet's remote, but Wolf pickpockets the smartwatch, which allows him to maneuver the rocket into the magnet, destroying it and returning the gold. Enraged, Kitty attempts to kill Wolf for ruining her plan, but Diane recovers and defeats her. Wolf and Diane happily reunite and share their first kiss, while the Bad Guys regroup as the space station plummets towards Earth. After crash-landing, Kitty is sent to prison, Doom and Pigtail are sentenced to community service, and Luggins fakes the deaths of the Bad Guys and Diane so they can be employed as secret agents. Meanwhile, Marmalade flies to his home planet in his limo, which transforms into a spaceship.
