*An experiment on the Allspark itself that created a [[AX9-8946-09SU-1|lifeform]] which almost escaped. The Allspark was used on low-power but the resulting life-form's near escape and murder of a Sector Seven scientist means these experiments on the Allspark have been put on hold.

*Scientists within Sector Seven arguing with the military that contact should be made with designate "N.B.E. 02" (Optimus Prime) to form an alliance. The military is refusing to listen to such suggestions when considering the danger of full-on contact with seriously threatening outerspace robots.

*Throughout all of this, a mysterious "Agent X" is hacking their system and 'leaking' the information to us, the masses.

*Actual email addresses exist and many have been bombarding the addresses with mail. Some have received replies along the lines of "Keep watching" and "Follow The Cube."

*The casting of [[Hugo Weaving|Hugo Weaving]] as Megatron was "revealed" through the website. [[Sector Seven|Sector Seven]] agent H. Weaving convinced [[Steven Spielberg|S.S.]], [[Michael Bay|M.B.]], [[Roberto Orci|R.O.]], and [[Alex Kurtzman|A.K.]] to put him in charge of the "[[Megatron (Movie)|Megaman]] issue."

*In the Sector Seven ARG, [[Transformers (2007)|Transformers (2007)]] and all related fiction, materials, and promotional materials are actually a [[Hungry Dragon|counter-information campaign]], designed to discredit leaks and cover up the existence of [[N.B.E.|N.B.E.s]] by presenting the facts about them as fictional events. It is suggested that all of the popular [[Generation 1|Generation 1]] was a similar campaign. This is supported by hacked video file evidence of mechanoids designated "N.B.E. 08" (Dinobot ''Grimlock''), "N.B.E. 115" (''Reflector''), "N.B.E. 125" (a mass-shifted Insecticon ''Kickback''), and "NBE 57" (a mass-shifted ''Laserbeak'').

Fasttrack (IDW)

2009-03-23T01:31:30Z

66.20.170.29: Had to sacrifice the faction symbol to get rid of the jumbled mess. - Zadok Rox

{{disambig2|Blurr's racer friend|Scorponok's little pal|Fasttrack (Scorponok)}}

:''Fasttrack is a [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] racer and later a [[Decepticon|Decepticon]] in [[IDW Publishing|IDW's]] version of the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Continuity family|continuity family]].''

[[Image:Fasttrack idw.jpg|right|188px|thumb|"I like to think of Primus like with giant eagles wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk!"]]
'''Fasttrack''' is an athlete who, in the [[Golden Age|Golden Age of Cybertron]], would compete against and also pal around with the then-champion, [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]]. But his life would take a drastic turn, come the war.

==Fiction==
===IDW Comics continuity===
After yet another race came to an end with Blurr the victor and Fasttrack apparently coming in second, Fasttrack visited his rival as he underwent maintenance. While Blurr's assistant [[Piston|Piston]] fawned over his boss's record-setting win, Fasttrack boasted that it wouldn't last long. But the challenge was clearly a friendly one, as he and Blurr high-fived and headed to [[The Circle|The Circle]] for celebratory drinks. Shortly after they arrived, Fasttrack pointed out two bots sitting in the corner, getting fried off the "[[Simultronics|Simultronics]]" machine by their table. Blurr quickly dismissed them, and the two continued to get loaded off of [[Energon (G1)|energon]].

The next day, after the race track was bombed by terrorists, Fasttrack and Blurr were told by their manager that all races were officially cancelled by order of [[Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]]. Neither was amused at this, to say the least. The two went their separate ways, and Blurr resisted attempts at recruitment by both the [[Autobot|Autobots]] and [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. Fasttrack, however, was seemingly not so immune.

When he and Blurr next crossed paths, it was in a battle: A Decepticon assassination team was making its way to the citadel in an attempt on Zeta Prime's life, and an Autobot squad tried to stop them. The still-unaligned Blurr was caught in the middle due to sheer bad timing, but he was pulled out of the line of fire by [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. As it happened, both Piston and Fasttrack lay deactivated behind the Autobots' bulwark, Piston having joined the Autobots and Fasttrack having become a Decepticon. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus]] used Piston's sacrifice to spur Blurr into helping the Autobots get a message to Zeta Prime. Fasttrack's death, however, went entirely unmentioned. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blurr|Spotlight: Blurr}}
