:&#039;&#039;White Cow is a [[Beastformer (species)|Beastformer]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BF-art WhiteCowCard.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|I can&#039;t believe it&#039;s not butter... &#039;&#039;yet&#039;&#039;.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;White Cow&#039;&#039;&#039; (ホワイトカウ &#039;&#039;Howaito Kau&#039;&#039;) loves you. Even if he doesn&#039;t know you, he loves you and cares about you. Growing up in the abundant prairie farmlands of [[Muland|Uruk]] only amplified the gentle and generous nature of its future King, resulting in a heart as big as [[Beast (planet)|planet Beast]]. He cares for all beings, no matter how big or small, and deeply respects everything&#039;s place in nature. He loves to spend his time watching the flowers and butterflies, sitting and reading, and talking about dreams with his subordinate Emperor [[Dream Eater]]. He is capable of telling much about any piece of land by listening to the sounds of the fauna and carefully examining the flora. This gives him the ability to track down important resources before even advanced machines can find them, a skill he put to good use during his time in [[White Leo]]&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But mistaking his caring and gentle nature as the naivete of a pushover is a big mistake. This moo has muscle, and is a skilled fighter. Plus he wields the bizarre [[sword]] called &amp;quot;Bread &amp;amp; Butter&amp;quot; (ブレッド&amp;amp;バター &#039;&#039;Bureddo &amp;amp; Batā&#039;&#039;), which can turn whatever he strikes into butter. Not &amp;quot;turn it as soft as butter&amp;quot;, but &#039;&#039;actually turn it into actual butter&#039;&#039;. And he &#039;&#039;will&#039;&#039; beat the spread.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Burstsun Special Set&#039;&#039;&#039; (Multi-pack, 1987)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;ID number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;68&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Sword&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Released in the third series of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;Beastformers&#039;&#039; toys, White Cow is, well, an anthropomorphic white cow in dark blue/purple robotic armor. Though his &amp;quot;fur&amp;quot; is entirely white, it also has sculpted lines in patches and spot shapes, indicating areas that might have been originally meant to be painted black, making him most likely a standard-issue Holstein. The [[rubsign|Battle Emblem]] on his chest reveals one of three symbols when warmed up; Fire, Water or Wood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:During this line, White Cow was only available in the Burstsun Special Set (バーストサンスペシャルセット &#039;&#039;Bāsutosan Supesharu Setto&#039;&#039;) multipack. This [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] set contains 10 figures out of a potential 14. Thankfully, these were not randomly-packed, and came in two distinct lineups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The first version has [[White Leo#Toys|White Leo]] with an exclusive &amp;quot;Burstsun&amp;quot; Battle Emblem, [[Black Jaguar#Toys|Black Jaguar]], [[Būpink#Toys|Būpink]], [[Dog Hunter#Toys|Dog Hunter]], [[Dream Eater#Toys|Dream Eater]], [[Muskhorn#Toys|Muskhorn]], [[Pangol#Toys|Pangol]], [[Slo#Toys|Slo]], White Cow, and [[Udan#Toys|Udan]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The second version has [[Alligatron#burstsun|Ghost Alligatron]], Black Jaguar, Būpink, [[Crowmax#Toys|Crowmax]], [[Earthhog#Toys|Earthhog]], [[Mingo Kid#Toys|Mingo Kid]], Pangol, Slo, White Cow, and Udan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Beastformers===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;White Cow&#039;&#039;&#039; (Beastformer, 1988)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;68&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Bread &amp;amp; Butter&amp;quot; MVP Weapon (usually)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Re-released in the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;-less &#039;&#039;Beastformers&#039;&#039; sequel series, White Cow was given a straight re-release with new packaging and a new, more filled-out bio card with corrected coloring. This new card also gave his weapon, now branded an &amp;quot;[[MVP Weapon]]&amp;quot;, the name &amp;quot;Bread &amp;amp; Butter&amp;quot;. Speaking of the weapon, there is also a chance he could come with the weapon from one of the other Laser Beasts in his shipping case; matching the Beasts with their same-numbered weapons was part of the &amp;quot;role-playing game&amp;quot; attached to the line, encouraging kids to buy more of the toys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He was sold in the second assortment of individually-packed Beastformers, with a peg-hole in the top flap, and a sticker on the bottom with his name and role on it. This series did not have any kind of &amp;quot;rare card&amp;quot; random pack-in promotion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Late in the run, the &amp;quot;mood ring&amp;quot; styled rubsigns were replaced with new rubsigns that revealed full-color Fire/Wood/Water images on black backdrops. (These rubsign variants also happened at the same time in the Hasbro &#039;&#039;Battle Beast&#039;&#039; version of the line.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BF-art WhiteCowBurstsun.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Eet mor kukku!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* No, the butter-sword thing is not a joke.&lt;br /&gt;
* White Cow&#039;s 1988 bio card gives him the nickname &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Whites&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; (ホワイツ &#039;&#039;Howaitsu&#039;&#039;).&lt;br /&gt;
* The Burstsun Special Set box-front painting shows White Cow with black patches of fur where the toy&#039;s sculpted lines indicate he should have black. &lt;br /&gt;
* The original &#039;&#039;Battle Beasts&#039;&#039; artwork used in his 1987 bio card incorrectly gives him [[Demonkey]]&#039;s sword. His 1988 card (top) was partially redrawn to correct this.&lt;br /&gt;

After being chosen as [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]&#039;s next leader by the [[Matrix of Leadership]], [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] sits upon the &#039;&#039;&#039;Throne of the Primes&#039;&#039;&#039; whenever he has to pull rank in the most grandiose and overbearing of ways. The throne is connected to the [[Halo of Primus]], which presumably allows it to channel some sort of divine power from the [[Thirteen]] [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

:The Throne of the Primes is a cardboard throne decorated with vine patterns and a [[Maximal]] [[insignia]] that comprises the inner packaging of the [[San Diego Comic-Con|SDCC]] 2018 [[exclusive]] &#039;&#039;[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Power of the Primes|Optimus Primal]] set. It features artwork of the faces of the eight other competitors in the [[Power of the Primes (franchise)#Notes|2017 fan vote for the next Prime]] along the sides — [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]], [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], and [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Unknown Evil]]. The throne also includes a plastic insert molded to the shape of Primal&#039;s derriere, but this portion is removable and is not required for Primal to sit on the throne. The backrest of the throne is connected to the [[Halo of Primus]], a circular rotating plastic insert that can accommodate twelve [[Prime Master]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{disambig3|Diaclone}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Diaclone-GRB logo.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Di...a...cloooooooone!!!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; (ダイアクロン &#039;&#039;Daiakuron&#039;&#039;) was one of two [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] toy lines (the other being &#039;&#039;[[Micro Change|Microchange]]&#039;&#039;) from which the earliest [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toys came. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; toyline was first introduced in [[1980]], but it was not until March [[1982]] that toys with [[alternate mode|alt mode]]s based on realistic, present-day vehicles began to appear as part of the &amp;quot;Car Robots&amp;quot; sub-line. The first one was the &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; predecessor of [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys|Sunstreaker]], whom [[Hasbro]] now considers the first fully-fledged transforming car-to-robot toy ever designed.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;hof2010&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/movie-news/TRANSFORMERS-HALL-OF-FAME-INAUGURAL-MEMBERS.cfm Hasbro press release for the 2010 Transformers Hall of Fame inductees]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Its vehicle form was based on an older Takara toy, the &amp;quot;Cosmo Countach&amp;quot; from the &#039;&#039;[[Microman]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Micro Command&amp;quot; sub-line released in 1978, which transformed into a half-robot, half-car hybrid.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;command&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~mikuro/sub1-6.htm &amp;quot;Micro Command&amp;quot; toys, including the Cosmo Countach]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before the [[Transformers brand]] was introduced, Takara directly exported some &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; toys to North America under the brand names &#039;&#039;[[Diakron]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Kronoform]]&#039;&#039;, but those lines met with very little success. French toy company &#039;&#039;[[Joustra]]&#039;&#039; also released various Diaclone figures in Europe under the original Japanese name (sporting unique box art), a few exclusive Revell model kits and even an accompanying mini-comic series, but these also faded into obscurity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[1983]], [[Hasbro]] representatives discovered &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Microchange&#039;&#039; toys at the [[Tokyo Toy Show]], and soon struck a deal to create the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; brand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[1984]] and [[1985]] [[Autobot Cars]], 1984 [[Decepticon Planes]], 1985 [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s, 1985 [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s, [[Trainbot]]s, [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibot]]s, [[Powerdasher]]s, [[Jumpstarter]]s, [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]], 1984 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Optimus Prime]], and [[1986]] [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ultra Magnus]] toys all originated from &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; proved an unqualified success, plans for a 1985 &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; line were scrapped, and &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; was imported to Japan in its place. These aborted toys, which would have been part of a sub-line called &#039;&#039;Jizai Gattai&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;[[Free-Combination|Free Combination]]&amp;quot;) were then incorporated into the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toyline in 1986 as the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; was revived in 2016. As of yet, it does not feature a new Car Robots subline, but who knows what the future will hold.&lt;br /&gt;

*No.17 Battle Convoy — The &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; deco was virtually unchanged, except for some decals on the trailer, for release as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;
*No.18 Lancia Stratos Turbo — The &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; deco was virtually unchanged for release as [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Wheeljack]]. A remolded version served as the inspiration for [[Exhaust]].&lt;br /&gt;
*No.19 New Countach Police Car — The &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; police deco was changed to a fire chief deco for release as [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Red Alert]]. The original deco was later used for [[Clamp Down#Collector&#039;s Edition|Clamp Down]].&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TrasformerSuperBuggy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|What, no TF love for Powered Buggy?]]&lt;br /&gt;
*No.20 Truck Crane — The &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; version is nearly identical to the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; [[Grapple (G1)#Generation 1|Grapple]] mold. However, the Mitsubishi Fuso logo molded onto the front of the cab, and extra chrome on the beam that connects the head, set this figure apart. This mold was later redecoed as [[Hauler#Collector&#039;s Edition|Hauler]].&lt;br /&gt;
*No.21 Corvette Stingray — The &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; red deco was changed to blue for release as [[Tracks (G1)#Generation 1|Tracks]]. The &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; red deco was released as Tracks in Europe and later as [[Road Rage (G1)#Collector&#039;s Edition|Road Rage]], and it also inspired [[Tracks (SG)|&#039;&#039;Shattered Glass&#039;&#039; Tracks]]. A Finnish exclusive black deco was the inspiration for [[Loudpedal#Masterpiece|Loudpedal]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Powered Convoy — The &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; deco was (more or less) reversed for release as [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]]. The &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; version was also available in a chrome deco. The Powered Buggy accessory was excised from all Transformers releases. The &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; deco was used as inspiration for [[Delta Magnus]], [[Magna Convoy]], and &#039;&#039;Shattered Glass&#039;&#039; [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Construction Vehicle Robo===&lt;br /&gt;
There were two &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; releases available. There were many coloring differences between the two but only the most obvious are listed below. All six received new green and purple decos for release in the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; line. The same molds were also released during &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; with the green changed to yellow and, later, orange.&lt;br /&gt;
*No. 1 Bulldozer - Orange in both versions. ([[Bonecrusher (G1)#Generation 1|Bonecrusher]])&lt;br /&gt;
*No. 2 Power Shovel - Orange in both versions. ([[Scavenger (G1)#Generation 1|Scavenger]])&lt;br /&gt;
*No. 3 Shovel-dozer - Orange in both versions. ([[Scrapper (G1)#Generation 1|Scrapper]])&lt;br /&gt;
*No. 4 Truck Crane - Red in version one, blue in version two. ([[Hook (G1)#Generation 1|Hook]])&lt;br /&gt;
*No. 5 Dump Truck - Red in both versions. ([[Long Haul (G1)#Generation 1|Long Haul]])&lt;br /&gt;
*No. 6 Concrete Mixer - Red in version one, blue in version two. ([[Mixmaster (G1)#Generation 1|Mixmaster]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[combiner]] pieces were predominately blue in version one and red in version two.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dashers===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dashers were released in &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; as the [[Powerdasher]]s. They were only available via mail-order and [[Robot Point]]s, and did not even receive individual names until decades later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Sky Dasher - also released under the name &amp;quot;Sky Robot&amp;quot; as a Revell model kit in Europe ([[Cromar#Generation 1|Cromar]])&lt;br /&gt;
*Drill Dasher - also released under the name &amp;quot;&amp;quot;Drill Robot&amp;quot; as a Revell model kit in Europe ([[Zetar (G1)#Generation 1|Zetar]])&lt;br /&gt;
*F-1 Dasher - also released under the name &amp;quot;F-1 Robot&amp;quot; as a Revell model kit in Europe ([[Aragon#Generation 1|Aragon]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dinosaur Robo===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DiacloneSwoop.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Ohh, so [[Show-accuracy|&#039;&#039;that&#039;s&#039;&#039;]] where his color scheme came from.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Dinosaur Robo molds became the [[Dinobot (G1)#Generation 1|Dinobots]] in &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;. Duh. All of the TF releases had softer plastic in certain places. There were also several differences in decoes between the &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; versions, mostly the replacement of blue paint with red.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Tyrannosaurus ([[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Grimlock]])&lt;br /&gt;
*Triceratops ([[Slag (G1)#Generation 1|Slag]])&lt;br /&gt;
*Brontosaurus ([[Sludge (G1)#Generation 1|Sludge]])&lt;br /&gt;
*Stegosaurus ([[Snarl (G1)#Generation 1|Snarl]])&lt;br /&gt;
*Pteranodon ([[Swoop (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Swoop]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Double Changers===&lt;br /&gt;
The Double Changers were released as the [[Omnibot (G1)#Generation 1|Omnibots]], and like the Powerdashers, were only available via mail-order and Robot Points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Ferrari BB ([[Overdrive#Generation 1|Overdrive]])&lt;br /&gt;
*Savanna RX-7 ([[Camshaft (G1)#Generation 1|Camshaft]])&lt;br /&gt;
*Celica XX ([[Downshift (G1)#Generation 1|Downshift]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===F-15 Robo===&lt;br /&gt;
The F-15 Robo mold was the source for the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]. The black and purple deco used for [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Skywarp]] was created for the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; line, and was never available as a &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039;. The decoes and remolded wings for the [[Conehead]]s were also original to &#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Super-high-speed fighter type ([[Starscream (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Starscream]])&lt;br /&gt;
* Acrobat type ([[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Thundercracker]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Insecter Robo===&lt;br /&gt;
In &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039;, these were mechs used by the [[Waruder]]s, the &amp;quot;bad guys&amp;quot; of that universe. In &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; they were released as the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] with new purple, black, and yellow decoes. Much later, the &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; decoes were released as the [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive [[Insecticon clone|Insecticon Clones]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Kabutron ([[Bombshell (G1)#Generation 1|Bombshell]]/[[Salvo (G1)#Toys|Salvo]])&lt;br /&gt;
*Battas ([[Kickback (G1)#Generation 1|Kickback]]/[[Shothole#Toys|Shothole]])&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Kuwagatrer]] ([[Shrapnel (G1)#Generation 1|Shrapnel]]/[[Zaptrap#Toys|Zaptrap]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Train Robo===&lt;br /&gt;
The Train Robo molds were only released as Transformers in Japan during the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Headmasters (franchise)|Headmasters]]&#039;&#039; franchise as [[Raiden]] and his individual components, the [[Trainbot]]s. There were two color variations released for the &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; line, making 12 individual trains total. Numbers 7-12 are much rarer and were never released as a giftset.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*No. 1 {{w|Tōkaidō Shinkansen|Tōkaidō}} {{w|0 Series Shinkansen}} ([[Shouki#The Headmasters|Shouki]])&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Triplechangers===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:G1-toy Overcharge.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
Only the Jet Fighter Type [[Triple Changer]] was ever released in the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; line, but the Helicopter Type later inspired three fiction-only characters. [[Astrotrain (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Astrotrain]] may have been in development when the change to the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; brand occurred.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*No. 1 Jet Fighter Type (redecoed in purple and beige as [[Blitzwing (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Blitzwing]], original &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; dark green and white deco later released as [[Overcharge (G1)#Collector&#039;s Edition|Overcharge]])&lt;br /&gt;
*No. 2 Helicopter Type ([[Rotorbolt (Timelines)|Rotorbolt]]/[[Skyklik]], original blue deco/[[Fumes]], grey deco)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Animated&#039;&#039; cartoon===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Wyatt Toys]] advertised &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Microman]]&#039;&#039; toys for sale in the [[Detroit Powell Press]]. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac|The AllSpark Almanac}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; is a portmanteau of &amp;quot;diamond&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;cyclone&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;strong as a diamond, fast as a cyclone&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Designs from &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; were plagiarized for the Korean animated movie &#039;&#039;Diatron 5&#039;&#039; (다이아트론5), which is currently haunting [[Walmart]] dollar bins as &#039;&#039;[http://www.amazon.com/SPACE-TRANSFORMERS/dp/B000FHDNZW Space Transformers]&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
*Like &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; after it, &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; was also released in other countries, in some cases licensed to other companies:&lt;br /&gt;
**Takara themselves had a short run in the U.S. market under the name &#039;&#039;[[Diakron]]&#039;&#039;, featuring three toys that were later released as &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; in different colors.&lt;br /&gt;
**Italian company [[GiG]] initially released toys under the name &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039;, but soon changed it to &#039;&#039;[[Trasformer]]&#039;&#039; {{sic}}. Whether GiG was copying Hasbro or the other way round is unclear; however, &#039;&#039;Trasformer&#039;&#039; did feature a blend of &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; toys and elements original to Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; line, possibly due to production reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
**French company [[Joustra]] released the toys under the name &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, featuring a blend of [[Micro Change]] and Diaclone toys with unique packaging designs and origin stories, but eventually sporting factory-applied [[Autobot]] or [[Decepticon]] [[insignia|stickers]], also due to production reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
**Takara themselves released toys in Finland under the name &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039;, sharing elements of the packaging design with GiG&#039;s &#039;&#039;Trasformer&#039;&#039; line. This release is notable for a unique black version of the Corvette Stingray (pre-[[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]]).&lt;br /&gt;
*General Motors stopped using the &amp;quot;Stingray&amp;quot; name after the 1976 model year. Since the Corvette mold is obviously a 1980 to 1982 model year, Takara incorrectly called it a Stingray.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Tracks&#039;&#039;&#039; (Autobot Car, [[1985]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;44&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;TFC-4&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Black Beam Gun&amp;quot;, 2 missile launchers, missile launcher mount, 4 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The original Tracks toy transforms into a blue [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Chevrolet Corvette &amp;quot;C3&amp;quot; model year 1980-1982]] with a large flame decal on his hood. Tracks&#039;s vehicle mode can achieve a [[Transportation mode|flight mode]] via two flip-out wings and attachable rocket launchers. In [[robot mode]], Tracks is armed with a long rifle that covers most of his lower arm, and the two white rocket launchers are now mounted above his head. The rifle can also attach to his back for storage or for additional weaponry in flight mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The European version of Tracks, released by Hasbro&#039;s newly acquired [[Milton Bradley]] subsidiary, was initially available in red, based on the original &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; color scheme; the toy is also depicted in red on the [[package art|mural scene]] on the back of 1985 Transformers packaging. The best evidence available suggests that this red Tracks was actually a &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; toy originally released in Europe by [[France|French]] company [[Joustra]]; when Hasbro/MB acquired Joustra&#039;s leftover unsold &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; inventory, the red Tracks-es were taken out of the original packaging, given [[rubsign]]s, and put into MB Transformers boxes.  It is believed that this is also the origin for the rest of the last-minute, second wave of MB-branded Transformers toys released in Europe in 1985.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mbjoustra&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ &amp;quot;MB Transformers: Part 4&amp;quot;] and [http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-6/ &amp;quot;MB Transformers: Part 6&amp;quot;] at 20th Century Toy Collector.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When Hasbro&#039;s name replaced the MB branding on European Transformers packaging, many of the MB-branded toys were re-released in the new packaging. The &amp;quot;Hasbro&amp;quot;-branded version of European Tracks now sported the same blue color as his US counterpart.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;maz&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=mb &amp;quot;Milton Bradley and the Transformers Red Tracks&amp;quot; at TF-1.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This version of Tracks was a European exclusive, sculpted to resemble his cartoon appearances more closely. As with all [[Action Master]]s, he cannot transform, but is highly articulated by the standards of the time. He came with small tank [[Action Master partner|partner]] named [[Basher]], who forms a battle helmet/backpack for Tracks (or any other Action Master), colored in bright green and baby blue. Tracks is compatible with all Action Master vehicles and accessories.&lt;br /&gt;

:A [[redeco]] of the original Tracks, Black Tracks was offered as part of a contest connected to the release of the &#039;&#039;[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Comics]]&#039;&#039; manga compilation. 300 Black Tracks figures were awarded through this contest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure was apparently inspired by a black redeco of the &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; Corvette mold that was available in limited numbers from the R-Kioski store chain in Finland. Only a few original examples have been found.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Tracks|an evil clone]] of Tracks and later inspired the new &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; character [[Loudpedal]].&lt;br /&gt;

:Tracks was reissued by [[Hasbro]] as part of the [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] [[exclusive]] &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series V]]&#039;&#039;, now officially named &amp;quot;Autobot Tracks&amp;quot; for trademark reasons.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;BT-06&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Engine/blaster&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]&#039;&#039; toy of Tracks updates his [[alternate mode]] to a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] 1:24 scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Corvette Z06]], featuring opening doors, an opening hood with an engine block underneath, a realistic interior, a &amp;quot;steering&amp;quot; mechanism that makes the front wheels move in unison, and [[rubber tires]]. His rocket launchers are stored next to the passenger and driver seats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, Tracks greatly resembles his Generation 1 self, though with one major difference: The roof of his actual car no longer forms the front of his chest. Instead, he has a [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|pseudo-car-roof]] chest piece that folds down. His large shoulder pads, formed from the rear halves of the car, give the impression of the wings his original toy had. Equipped with a double-barreled gun (formed from his car engine), two pairs of double-barreled, slide-out wrist blasters, and two shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, Tracks is the most heavily armed &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Tracks was first released in Japan under [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; line with yellow as its primary color. The Hasbro version, named &amp;quot;Autobot Tracks&amp;quot; for [[trademark]] reasons, was initially also intended to be released in yellow first, with a [[Variant#Running changes|running change]] to blue intended to come out later. However, when problems with the yellow plastic were discovered at the [[prototype|test shot]] stage, Hasbro decided to scrap the yellow version (presumably before it ever made it to the packaging stage), and instead released the toy in blue from the get-go. (Any [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|rumors]] that the toy was shipped to stores and then recalled have never been backed up by any evidence.) A blue &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; variant was later also released to match the Hasbro version, which retroactively replaced the yellow version as the &amp;quot;main&amp;quot; color variant in Takara&#039;s promotional material for the line (even though the blue version&#039;s packaging and [[instructions|instruction booklet]] still depict the yellow version).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The main difference between Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version and the Japanese &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; version is that both color variants of &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Tracks have the majority of their car body panels constructed of [[die-cast]] metal, which are also fully painted, whereas the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version is made out of unpainted plastic. In addition, the blue version of &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Tracks (which is a slightly darker shade of blue than its &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; counterpart) also came with a large reproduction of his Generation 1 predecessor&#039;s hood flame sticker. This sticker was eventually released with Hasbro&#039;s own &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; [[Swerve (G1)#Alternators|Swerve]], a [[retool]] of Tracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[[File:Alternators Tracks Arm Cannons Springs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right|The official images always lie.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Initially, Chevrolet had denied Hasbro and Takara the license for the Z06 Corvette. Thus, an auxiliary plan for Tracks was devised, this time as another &amp;quot;well-known American sports car&amp;quot;, a Dodge Viper. Eventually, though, Chevrolet had a change of mind and granted Hasbro and Takara the license for the Corvette design after all. As a result, the Viper sculpt was slightly redesigned, given a new head sculpt, and ultimately ended up as [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Sideswipe]] instead (called &amp;quot;Side Swipe&amp;quot; for trademark reasons).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;vipertracks&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Control drawings for the Viper as Tracks, sporting a Tracks head sculpt and a different [[transformation]] for the doors, allowing them to more closely resemble Tracks&#039;s G1 wings, are depicted in the Japanese &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Binaltech &amp;amp; TF Collection Complete Guide]]&#039;&#039; book.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Tracks head sculpt originally designed for the Viper body ultimately ended up being used for the Corvette version of Tracks, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In addition, the original prototype for Tracks (seen in the Takara [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the toy&#039;s packaging and in the Hasbro [[instructions]]) featured a spring-loaded trigger mechanism for the arm cannons, which was changed to the final toy&#039;s manually deployed cannon mechanism starting with the test shot stage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to only shipping in two [[wave]]s, Tracks initially ended up as one of the rarer &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toys. When Hasbro tried to relaunch the line in 2006, a re-released Tracks (with no changes other than the different packaging) was part of the first wave of the new assortment. Ironically, the re-released Tracks ended up as a [[shelfwarmer]] this time around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This sculpt was retooled significantly to make &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Battle Ravage]] (aka &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Ravage), and later given a second retool that only replaced the head sculpt for the aforementioned Swerve.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 white clip-on missile launchers, 1 black gun/clip-on launcher&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the fifth wave of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|2010 &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039;]] Deluxe Class toys, Turbo Tracks transforms from a blue sports car resembling a jaguar F-type from the back into a winged robot. Tracks comes with three [[C joint|C clip]] weapons, one of which can be handheld, while the missile launchers clip behind his head, a callback to his G1 toy. He can also assume a flying car mode by folding out the wings in car mode and moving the missile launchers from under the doors to tabs on a rotatable flipout panel just behind the rear window. This configuration frees up the launchers&#039; clips, allowing &#039;&#039;[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]&#039;&#039; accessories to be attached. His main gun can then attach to his underside. As part of the first wave of the &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; promotion, he sports a [[rubsign]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Turbo Tracks was redecoed into [[BotCon 2012]] [[Tracks (SG)#Timelines|Tracks]] and retooled into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]], &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]&#039;&#039; [[Runamuck (G1)#Timelines|Runamuck]], and &#039;&#039;Timelines&#039;&#039; [[Runabout (G1)#Timelines|Over-Run]].&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers United|United]]&#039;&#039; Tracks is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; Deluxe Tracks. &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks features a more detailed paint deco, including metallic blue paint on his blue plastic panels, a Generation 1-style flame hood symbol and painted rear trunk grille and tailpipes. The yellow paint on Turbo Tracks&#039;s chest is unpainted on the &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; version, and the yellow paint on Turbo Tracks&#039; waist is now silver. &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks has light blue painted eyes to Turbo Tracks&#039;s unpainted smoky gray. United Tracks also has a more detailed rear in car mode, featuring painted exhausts, a silver grill detail, as well as the painted taillights like on Turbo Tracks. Unlike a good portion of Turbo Tracks figures, the red paint on &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks&#039;s face comes all the way up to the crest of his helmet. Despite all these changes, the two figures have identical (or nearly identical) plastic colors. As with all &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; versions of the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toys, Tracks lacks a heat-sensitive rubsign, replacing it with a [[tampograph]]ed Autobot sigil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Kre-O]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Autobot Tracks&amp;quot; is a small brick-built [[Kreon]] figure, using the 2015-style construction with raised hands and the sturdier &amp;quot;peg-in-peg&amp;quot; torso/waist connection. His body [[tampograph]]s are heavily toy-based, but he has a cartoon-based face design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He was only available as part of the [[San Diego Comic-Con]]-[[exclusive]] &amp;quot;[[Kreon Class of &#039;85]]&amp;quot; 30-Kreon set. This set was also sold online through [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] after the show.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Q-Transformers]]&#039;&#039; Tracks is a redeco and retool of [[Crosshairs (AOE)#Q-Transformers|QT-04 Crosshairs]] with a new head, transforming into a [[super deformed]] Chevrolet Corvette C7. For reasons unknown, the release of Tracks was pushed back several times—initially slated for release as part of the fourth wave on [[March 21]], 2015, he was first moved to wave 5 on [[June 27]]th before ultimately seeing release by himself on [[October 25]]th.

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Tracks transforms into an officially-licensed Chevrolet Corvette &amp;quot;C3&amp;quot; model year 1980-1982, which can also achieve the character&#039;s traditional flight mode. As with other figures in the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime&#039;s trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Tracks lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. An extra pair is included in case of loss or breakage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the original Tracks toy had the flight mode rockets on top, this version has the rockets underneath and adds tail fins to the top, which the G1 toy did not have. The rockets can be moved to the top to emulate the original toy but this is more of a [[fan mode]] configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For accessories, he comes with his traditional handheld black beam gun, along with a version that can be plugged on the vehicle mode&#039;s front grill to recreate the scene from &amp;quot;[[Megatron&#039;s Master Plan, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, a flight stand for the vehicle, and a small figure of Raoul (based on his &amp;quot;[[Make Tracks]]&amp;quot; color scheme) and a small non-transforming Blaster in boombox mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The mold was retooled into [[Loudpedal#Masterpiece|MP-25B Loudpedal]] and further retooled into [[Road Rage (G1)#Masterpiece|MP-26 Road Rage]] &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:In Japan, a red rubber mini-figure of Tracks was available in part of a [[Decoy|massive multi-pack of similar mini-figurines]]. The number etched into his back is the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]] ratings, as these figurines were used as game pieces for a variety of &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; board games in which this number had some meaning to how the game was played or something.&lt;br /&gt;

:The [[Hasbro]] [[Decoy]] release of the Tracks game piece is almost identical to the Japanese version, except the number on his back is a simple &amp;quot;checklist&amp;quot; number.

:The original Tracks toy transforms into a blue [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Chevrolet Corvette &amp;quot;C3&amp;quot; model year 1980-1982]] with a large flame decal on his hood. Tracks&#039;s vehicle mode can achieve a [[Transportation mode|flight mode]] via two flip-out wings and attachable rocket launchers. In [[robot mode]], Tracks is armed with a long rifle that covers most of his lower arm, and the two white rocket launchers are now mounted above his head. The rifle can also attach to his back for storage or for additional weaponry in flight mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The European version of Tracks, released by Hasbro&#039;s newly acquired [[Milton Bradley]] subsidiary, was initially available in red, based on the original &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; color scheme; the toy is also depicted in red on the [[package art|mural scene]] on the back of 1985 Transformers packaging. The best evidence available suggests that this red Tracks was actually a &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; toy originally released in Europe by [[France|French]] company [[Joustra]]; when Hasbro/MB acquired Joustra&#039;s leftover unsold &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; inventory, the red Tracks-es were taken out of the original packaging, given [[rubsign]]s, and put into MB Transformers boxes.  It is believed that this is also the origin for the rest of the last-minute, second wave of MB-branded Transformers toys released in Europe in 1985.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mbjoustra&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ &amp;quot;MB Transformers: Part 4&amp;quot;] and [http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-6/ &amp;quot;MB Transformers: Part 6&amp;quot;] at 20th Century Toy Collector.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When Hasbro&#039;s name replaced the MB branding on European Transformers packaging, many of the MB-branded toys were re-released in the new packaging.

&lt;br /&gt;
:The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]&#039;&#039; toy of Tracks updates his [[alternate mode]] to a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] 1:24 scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Corvette Z06]], featuring opening doors, an opening hood with an engine block underneath, a realistic interior, a &amp;quot;steering&amp;quot; mechanism that makes the front wheels move in unison, and [[rubber tires]]. His rocket launchers are stored next to the passenger and driver seats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, Tracks greatly resembles his Generation 1 self, though with one major difference: The roof of his actual car no longer forms the front of his chest. Instead, he has a [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|pseudo-car-roof]] chest piece that folds down. His large shoulder pads, formed from the rear halves of the car, give the impression of the wings his original toy had. Equipped with a double-barreled gun (formed from his car engine), two pairs of double-barreled, slide-out wrist blasters, and two shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, Tracks is the most heavily armed &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Tracks was first released in Japan under [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; line with yellow as its primary color. The Hasbro version, named &amp;quot;Autobot Tracks&amp;quot; for [[trademark]] reasons, was initially also intended to be released in yellow first, with a [[Variant#Running changes|running change]] to blue intended to come out later. However, when problems with the yellow plastic were discovered at the [[prototype|test shot]] stage, Hasbro decided to scrap the yellow version (presumably before it ever made it to the packaging stage), and instead released the toy in blue from the get-go. (Any [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|rumors]] that the toy was shipped to stores and then recalled have never been backed up by any evidence.) A blue &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; variant was later also released to match the Hasbro version, which retroactively replaced the yellow version as the &amp;quot;main&amp;quot; color variant in Takara&#039;s promotional material for the line (even though the blue version&#039;s packaging and [[instructions|instruction booklet]] still depict the yellow version).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The main difference between Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version and the Japanese &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; version is that both color variants of &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Tracks have the majority of their car body panels constructed of [[die-cast]] metal, which are also fully painted, whereas the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version is made out of unpainted plastic. In addition, the blue version of &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Tracks (which is a slightly darker shade of blue than its &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; counterpart) also came with a large reproduction of his Generation 1 predecessor&#039;s hood flame sticker. This sticker was eventually released with Hasbro&#039;s own &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; [[Swerve (G1)#Alternators|Swerve]], a [[retool]] of Tracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[[File:Alternators Tracks Arm Cannons Springs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right|The official images always lie.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Initially, Chevrolet had denied Hasbro and Takara the license for the Z06 Corvette. Thus, an auxiliary plan for Tracks was devised, this time as another &amp;quot;well-known American sports car&amp;quot;, a Dodge Viper. Eventually, though, Chevrolet had a change of mind and granted Hasbro and Takara the license for the Corvette design after all. As a result, the Viper sculpt was slightly redesigned, given a new head sculpt, and ultimately ended up as [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Sideswipe]] instead (called &amp;quot;Side Swipe&amp;quot; for trademark reasons).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;vipertracks&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Control drawings for the Viper as Tracks, sporting a Tracks head sculpt and a different [[transformation]] for the doors, allowing them to more closely resemble Tracks&#039;s G1 wings, are depicted in the Japanese &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Binaltech &amp;amp; TF Collection Complete Guide]]&#039;&#039; book.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Tracks head sculpt originally designed for the Viper body ultimately ended up being used for the Corvette version of Tracks, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In addition, the original prototype for Tracks (seen in the Takara [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the toy&#039;s packaging and in the Hasbro [[instructions]]) featured a spring-loaded trigger mechanism for the arm cannons, which was changed to the final toy&#039;s manually deployed cannon mechanism starting with the test shot stage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to only shipping in two [[wave]]s, Tracks initially ended up as one of the rarer &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toys. When Hasbro tried to relaunch the line in 2006, a re-released Tracks (with no changes other than the different packaging) was part of the first wave of the new assortment. Ironically, the re-released Tracks ended up as a [[shelfwarmer]] this time around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This sculpt was retooled significantly to make &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Battle Ravage]] (aka &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Ravage), and later given a second retool that only replaced the head sculpt for the aforementioned Swerve.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the fifth wave of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|2010 &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039;]] Deluxe Class toys, Turbo Tracks transforms from a blue sports car resembling a jaguar F-type from the back into a winged robot. Tracks comes with three [[C joint|C clip]] weapons, one of which can be handheld, while the missile launchers clip behind his head, a callback to his G1 toy. He can also assume a flying car mode by folding out the wings in car mode and moving the missile launchers from under the doors to tabs on a rotatable flipout panel just behind the rear window. This configuration frees up the launchers&#039; clips, allowing &#039;&#039;[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]&#039;&#039; accessories to be attached. His main gun can then attach to his underside. As part of the first wave of the &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; promotion, he sports a [[rubsign]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers United|United]]&#039;&#039; Tracks is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; Deluxe Tracks. &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks features a more detailed paint deco, including metallic blue paint on his blue plastic panels, a Generation 1-style flame hood symbol and painted rear trunk grille and tailpipes. The yellow paint on Turbo Tracks&#039;s chest is unpainted on the &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; version, and the yellow paint on Turbo Tracks&#039; waist is now silver. &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks has light blue painted eyes to Turbo Tracks&#039;s unpainted smoky gray. United Tracks also has a more detailed rear in car mode, featuring painted exhausts, a silver grill detail, as well as the painted taillights like on Turbo Tracks. Unlike a good portion of Turbo Tracks figures, the red paint on &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks&#039;s face comes all the way up to the crest of his helmet. Despite all these changes, the two figures have identical (or nearly identical) plastic colors. As with all &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; versions of the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toys, Tracks lacks a heat-sensitive rubsign, replacing it with a [[tampograph]]ed Autobot sigil.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Tracks transforms into an officially-licensed Corvette Stingray, which can also achieve the character&#039;s traditional flight mode. As with other figures in the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime&#039;s trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Tracks lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. An extra pair is included in case of loss or breakage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the original Tracks toy had the flight mode rockets on top, this version has the rockets underneath and adds tail fins to the top, which the G1 toy did not have. The rockets can be moved to the top to emulate the original toy but this is more of a [[fan mode]] configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For accessories, he comes with his traditional handheld black beam gun, along with a version that can be plugged on the vehicle mode&#039;s front grill to recreate the scene from &amp;quot;[[Megatron&#039;s Master Plan, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, a flight stand for the vehicle, and a small figure of Raoul (based on his &amp;quot;[[Make Tracks]]&amp;quot; color scheme) and a small non-transforming Blaster in boombox mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Road Rage&#039;&#039;&#039; (ロードレイジ &#039;&#039;Rōdo Reiji&#039;&#039;) is the bodyguard/advisor of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] ambassador [[Crosscut (Autobot)|Crosscut]]. She is well-versed in alien cultures and generally cheerful, making her a very good diplomat. However, a chronic short-out in her [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] causes her to live up to her name; in car mode, she is a snarling, swerving speed machine with little regard—if not utter contempt—for anyone else on the road with her. This is pretty embarrassing for her once she reverts to [[robot mode]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Collector&#039;s Edition&#039;&#039; Road Rage bio&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Road Rage fled [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] as a refugee during the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], and settled down in a remote quadrant of the galaxy populated by smaller alien races. Her huge, mechanical form allowed her to become an effective bodyguard and bounty hunter, working in exchange for [[energon]], and over time she became well-versed in the culture and customs of various organic lifeforms, even working as an inter-species negotiator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By chance, one day she came to the aid of [[Autobot]] ambassador [[Crosscut (Autobot)|Crosscut]], escorting him out of a dangerous situation on a colony planet. Taken by her skill, he invited Road Rage to become his personal adviser and bodyguard, and she returned to Cybertron for the first time in millennia to be officially inducted into the Autobots. When the war&#039;s focused shifted to [[Earth]], Crosscut was tasked to liaise with humankind and arrange the construction of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], leading Road Rage to find herself battling discontented human groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even after the completion of that project, Crosscut and Road Rage continued to work with each other, achieving much together. Between her official assignments, Road Rage resumed bounty hunting, including pursuing the fugitives [[Flip Sides (G1)|Flip Sides]] and [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Twincast]], of which the former was believed to be a [[Decepticon]] spy. {{storylink|#Masterpiece|&#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Road Rage bio}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Road Rage was a bodyguard assigned to [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]], head of Cybertronian Xenorelations. They had considerable history, as Road Rage once spent a kilocycle guarding Nautica and [[Crosscut (Autobot)|Crosscut]] as they negotiated between the Thraal and Dremdens. She would later accompany her as part of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]]&#039;s tour of the colonies. Nautica uncovered possible suspicious behavior among the Thraal delegates aboard their Titan, and brought Road Rage along to investigate. They discovered one of the Thraal secondaries planning to set off an A.I. bomb on the Titan, in retaliation for the Cybertronian sanctuary for the A&#039;ovan. Road Rage and Nautica chased the Thraal and their bomb out onto the hull of the Titan. Road Rage coordinated with the [[Cityspeaker]] [[Lightbright (G1)|Lightbright]] to vent some pressure, thrusting the bomb into space so Road Rage could safely blast it away from the ship. {{storylink|Nautica: Home}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With growing civil unrest on Cybertron, Sentinel Prime brought his good-will tour to an early end. Road Rage, Nautica, and the rest soon returned to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Four}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Road Rage accompanied Nautica and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] to the Voin embassy on Cybertron, where Nautica gathered information about the Voin who had been killed in the Xeno quarter. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Two}} Later, she stood guard outside the senate chambers when Nautica was in deep discussions with Sentinel Prime and the Senate over recent events. [[Froid]] started talking Nautica&#039;s audio-receptor off once the meeting broke, but a new crisis soon emerged. A Voin ship arrived at customs and, by the time Nautica and Road Rage got there, a Voin Asserter had already disembarked. Nautica believed an Asserter meant a clear and present danger to Cybertron until the matter of the murdered Voin was resolved. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Four}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Collector&#039;s Edition]]&#039;&#039; Road Rage is a [[redeco]] of [[Tracks (G1)/toys|the original Tracks toy]], transforming into a Chevrolet Corvette &amp;quot;C3&amp;quot; model year 1980-1982. She also has a third [[Transportation mode|&amp;quot;flight&amp;quot; mode]] with swing-out wings and add-on thruster-pack/missile launchers. (her rifle can mount on her undercarriage in this mode, but it&#039;s really awkward when she&#039;s grounded.) As a Japanese release, her spring-loaded missile launchers are fully-functional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: She was available only as an [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]], sold in a set with Crosscut. Pre-orders ended on [[July 31]] of 2002, and the toys were sent out in October.&lt;br /&gt;

He comes with three [[C joint]] weapons, one of which can be [[5 mm post|hand-held]], while the missile launchers clip behind his head. He can also assume a flying car mode by folding out the wings in car mode and moving the missile launchers from under the doors to tabs on a rotatable flip-out panel just behind the rear window. This configuration frees up the launchers&#039; clips, allowing [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] accessories to be attached. His main gun can then attach to his underside. Tracks was released in an BotCon 2012-[[exclusive]] box set with [[Soundwave (SG)#Timelines|Soundwave]], [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Timelines|Ultra Magnus]], [[Treadshot (SG)|Treadshot]], [[Overlord (Masterforce)#Timelines|Gigatron]], and [[Metalhawk (Masterforce)#Timelines|Metalhawk]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:According to [[Pete Sinclair]], SG Tracks&#039;s deco is based on the &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; version of the original Tracks toy and the red Tracks pictured on [[:Image:1985MuralRedTracks.jpg|the back of 1985 toy packages]]. Despite not being an intentional reference, this makes the toy look similar to Road Rage, and the [[e-HOBBY]] [http://web.archive.org/web/20150511030710/http://www.e-hobbymagazine.com/information/3866.html web page] for the BotCon set would later note that this Tracks can be used as such.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Tracks was retooled into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]], as well as &#039;&#039;Timelines&#039;&#039; [[Runamuck (G1)#Timelines|Runamuck]] and [[Runabout (G1)#Timelines|Over-Run]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Road Rage is a fairly extensive [[retool]]ing of [[Tracks (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-25 Tracks]], transforming into a licensed reproduction of a [[General Motors|Chevrolet]] Corvette C3, complete with pop-up hood (revealing Cybertronian machinery underneath, as seen in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]] episode &amp;quot;[[Make Tracks]]&amp;quot;). She also has a third &amp;quot;flight mode&amp;quot; which can use Tracks&#039;s flight stand; sadly she does not come with one of her own. She comes with redecoes of two of Tracks&#039;s accessories: a small plug-in &amp;quot;Laser Ram&amp;quot; gun for her vehicle-mode front grille, and a non-transforming boombox version of [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#The Headmasters cartoon|Twincast]] that stores (very, very loosely) in her driver&#039;s compartment in vehicle mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Her retooling gives her a new head (based on the [[Road Rage (Animated)|&#039;&#039;Animated&#039;&#039; version of the character]]), collar, biceps, hands, hips, and thighs to give her a more feminine appearance. She also has a new-mold &amp;quot;Plasma Discharger&amp;quot; rifle, a large gun based on the [[Tracks (G1)#Toys|original toy&#039;s]] rather than Tracks&#039;s considerably-dinkier animation-model pistol. The rifle can also plug into the underside of her flight mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: She is the first [[female Transformer]] to be made in the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; line.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:1985MuralRedTracks.jpg|thumb|225px|Maybe she just doesn&#039;t like Grimlock.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Road Rage and Crosscut are notable for being the first additions to the Generation 1-era cast of characters after the original line ended since the short-lived &#039;&#039;[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]&#039;&#039; series. This also started the general trend toward e-Hobby releases being new characters rather than old characters in new colors.&lt;br /&gt;
*Her coloration is based on the original pre-&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; Corvette Stingray toy. The red Stingray was also available as Tracks under the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; brand in some European markets in 1985, distributed by [[Milton Bradley]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;maz&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=mb &amp;quot;Milton Bradley and the Transformers Red Tracks&amp;quot; at TF-1.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A convincing theory suggests that red Tracks, like most of the second [[wave]] of MB-branded Transformers, was actually originally a &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; toy by European Takara licensee [[Joustra]], which was acquired by MB together with the rest of Joustra&#039;s &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; stock and put into &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; packaging.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mbjoustra&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ &amp;quot;MB Transformers: Part 4&amp;quot;] at 20th Century Toy Collector.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*As mentioned above, the red &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; version of Tracks appears on Hasbro&#039;s 1985 packaging mural (along with several other toys in early or unused color schemes). What makes this particular appearance stranger than the rest is the red Tracks&#039;s depiction – apparently confronting [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and shooting at [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] – which implies the artist thought proto-Tracks was a [[Decepticon]]. Whatever that intended implication was, Road Rage was characterized as an Autobot.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Road Rage was a bodyguard assigned to [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]], head of Cybertronian Xenorelations. They had considerable history, as Road Rage once spent a kilocycle guarding Nautica and [[Crosscut (Autobot)|Crosscut]] as they negotiated between the Thraal and Dremdens. She would later accompany her as part of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]]&#039;s tour of the colonies. Nautica uncovered possible suspicious behavior among the Thraal delegates aboard their Titan, and brought Road Rage along to investigate. They discovered one of the Thraal secondaries planning to set off an A.I. bomb on the Titan, in retaliation for the Cybertronian sanctuary for the A&#039;ovan. Road Rage and Nautica chased the Thraal and their bomb out onto the hull of the Titan. Road Rage coordinated with the [[Cityspeaker]] [[Lightbright (G1)|Lightbright]] to vent some pressure, thrusting the bomb into space so Road Rage could safely blast it away from the ship. {{storylink|Nautica: Home}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With growing civil unrest on Cybertron, Sentinel Prime brought his good-will tour to an early end. Road Rage, Nautica, and the rest soon returned to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Four}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Road Rage accompanied Nautica and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] to the Voin embassy on Cybertron, where Nautica gathered information about the Voin who had been killed in the Xeno quarter. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Two}} Later, she stood guard outside the senate chambers when Nautica was in deep discussions with Sentinel Prime and the Senate over recent events. [[Froid]] started talking Nautica&#039;s audio-receptor off once the meeting broke, but a new crisis soon emerged. A Voin ship arrived at customs and, by the time Nautica and Road Rage got there, a Voin Asserter had already disembarked. Nautica believed an Asserter meant a clear and present danger to Cybertron until the matter of the murdered Voin was resolved. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Four}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Collector&#039;s Edition]]&#039;&#039; Road Rage is a [[redeco]] of [[Tracks (G1)/toys|the original Tracks toy]], transforming into a Chevrolet Corvette &amp;quot;C3&amp;quot; model year 1980-1982. She also has a third [[Transportation mode|&amp;quot;flight&amp;quot; mode]] with swing-out wings and add-on thruster-pack/missile launchers. (her rifle can mount on her undercarriage in this mode, but it&#039;s really awkward when she&#039;s grounded.) As a Japanese release, her spring-loaded missile launchers are fully-functional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: She was available only as an [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]], sold in a set with Crosscut. Pre-orders ended on [[July 31]] of 2002, and the toys were sent out in October.&lt;br /&gt;

He comes with three [[C joint]] weapons, one of which can be [[5 mm post|hand-held]], while the missile launchers clip behind his head. He can also assume a flying car mode by folding out the wings in car mode and moving the missile launchers from under the doors to tabs on a rotatable flip-out panel just behind the rear window. This configuration frees up the launchers&#039; clips, allowing [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] accessories to be attached. His main gun can then attach to his underside. Tracks was released in an BotCon 2012-[[exclusive]] box set with [[Soundwave (SG)#Timelines|Soundwave]], [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Timelines|Ultra Magnus]], [[Treadshot (SG)|Treadshot]], [[Overlord (Masterforce)#Timelines|Gigatron]], and [[Metalhawk (Masterforce)#Timelines|Metalhawk]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:According to [[Pete Sinclair]], SG Tracks&#039;s deco is based on the &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; version of the original Tracks toy and the red Tracks pictured on [[:Image:1985MuralRedTracks.jpg|the back of 1985 toy packages]]. Despite not being an intentional reference, this makes the toy look similar to Road Rage, and the [[e-HOBBY]] [http://web.archive.org/web/20150511030710/http://www.e-hobbymagazine.com/information/3866.html web page] for the BotCon set would later note that this Tracks can be used as such.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Road Rage&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[2015]]-[[December 26|12-26]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MP-26&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Plasma Discharger&amp;quot; rifle, &amp;quot;Laser Ram&amp;quot; grill-gun, &amp;quot;Twincast&amp;quot; boombox&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Road Rage is a fairly extensive [[retool]]ing of [[Tracks (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-25 Tracks]], transforming into a licensed reproduction of a [[General Motors|Chevrolet]] Corvette Stingray C3, complete with pop-up hood (revealing Cybertronian machinery underneath, as seen in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]] episode &amp;quot;[[Make Tracks]]&amp;quot;). She also has a third &amp;quot;flight mode&amp;quot; which can use Tracks&#039;s flight stand; sadly she does not come with one of her own. She comes with redecoes of two of Tracks&#039;s accessories: a small plug-in &amp;quot;Laser Ram&amp;quot; gun for her vehicle-mode front grille, and a non-transforming boombox version of [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#The Headmasters cartoon|Twincast]] that stores (very, very loosely) in her driver&#039;s compartment in vehicle mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Her retooling gives her a new head (based on the [[Road Rage (Animated)|&#039;&#039;Animated&#039;&#039; version of the character]]), collar, biceps, hands, hips, and thighs to give her a more feminine appearance. She also has a new-mold &amp;quot;Plasma Discharger&amp;quot; rifle, a large gun based on the [[Tracks (G1)#Toys|original toy&#039;s]] rather than Tracks&#039;s considerably-dinkier animation-model pistol. The rifle can also plug into the underside of her flight mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: She is the first [[female Transformer]] to be made in the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; line.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:1985MuralRedTracks.jpg|thumb|225px|Maybe she just doesn&#039;t like Grimlock.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Road Rage and Crosscut are notable for being the first additions to the Generation 1-era cast of characters after the original line ended since the short-lived &#039;&#039;[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]&#039;&#039; series. This also started the general trend toward e-Hobby releases being new characters rather than old characters in new colors.&lt;br /&gt;
*Her coloration is based on the original pre-&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; Corvette Stingray toy. The red Stingray was also available as Tracks under the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; brand in some European markets in 1985, distributed by [[Milton Bradley]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;maz&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=mb &amp;quot;Milton Bradley and the Transformers Red Tracks&amp;quot; at TF-1.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A convincing theory suggests that red Tracks, like most of the second [[wave]] of MB-branded Transformers, was actually originally a &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; toy by European Takara licensee [[Joustra]], which was acquired by MB together with the rest of Joustra&#039;s &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; stock and put into &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; packaging.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mbjoustra&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ &amp;quot;MB Transformers: Part 4&amp;quot;] at 20th Century Toy Collector.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*As mentioned above, the red &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; version of Tracks appears on Hasbro&#039;s 1985 packaging mural (along with several other toys in early or unused color schemes). What makes this particular appearance stranger than the rest is the red Tracks&#039;s depiction – apparently confronting [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and shooting at [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] – which implies the artist thought proto-Tracks was a [[Decepticon]]. Whatever that intended implication was, Road Rage was characterized as an Autobot.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;44&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;TFC-4&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Black Beam Gun&amp;quot;, 2 missile launchers, missile launcher mount, 4 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The original Tracks toy transforms into a blue [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Chevrolet Corvette &amp;quot;C3&amp;quot; model year 1980-1982]] with a large flame decal on his hood. Tracks&#039;s vehicle mode can achieve a [[Transportation mode|flight mode]] via two flip-out wings and attachable rocket launchers. In [[robot mode]], Tracks is armed with a long rifle that covers most of his lower arm, and the two white rocket launchers are now mounted above his head. The rifle can also attach to his back for storage or for additional weaponry in flight mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The European version of Tracks, released by Hasbro&#039;s newly acquired [[Milton Bradley]] subsidiary, was initially available in red, based on the original &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; color scheme; the toy is also depicted in red on the [[package art|mural scene]] on the back of 1985 Transformers packaging. The best evidence available suggests that this red Tracks was actually a &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; toy originally released in Europe by [[France|French]] company [[Joustra]]; when Hasbro/MB acquired Joustra&#039;s leftover unsold &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; inventory, the red Tracks-es were taken out of the original packaging, given [[rubsign]]s, and put into MB Transformers boxes.  It is believed that this is also the origin for the rest of the last-minute, second wave of MB-branded Transformers toys released in Europe in 1985.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mbjoustra&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ &amp;quot;MB Transformers: Part 4&amp;quot;] and [http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-6/ &amp;quot;MB Transformers: Part 6&amp;quot;] at 20th Century Toy Collector.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When Hasbro&#039;s name replaced the MB branding on European Transformers packaging, many of the MB-branded toys were re-released in the new packaging. The &amp;quot;Hasbro&amp;quot;-branded version of European Tracks now sported the same blue color as his US counterpart.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;maz&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=mb &amp;quot;Milton Bradley and the Transformers Red Tracks&amp;quot; at TF-1.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:This version of Tracks was a European exclusive, sculpted to resemble his cartoon appearances more closely.

He came with small tank [[Action Master partner|partner]] named [[Basher]], who forms a battle helmet/backpack for Tracks (or any other Action Master), colored in bright green and baby blue. Tracks is compatible with all Action Master vehicles and accessories.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure was apparently inspired by a black redeco of the &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; Corvette Stingray mold that was available in limited numbers from the R-Kioski store chain in Finland. Only a few original examples have been found.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]&#039;&#039; toy of Tracks updates his [[alternate mode]] to a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] 1:24 scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Corvette Z06]], featuring opening doors, an opening hood with an engine block underneath, a realistic interior, a &amp;quot;steering&amp;quot; mechanism that makes the front wheels move in unison, and [[rubber tires]]. His rocket launchers are stored next to the passenger and driver seats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, Tracks greatly resembles his Generation 1 self, though with one major difference: The roof of his actual car no longer forms the front of his chest. Instead, he has a [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|pseudo-car-roof]] chest piece that folds down. His large shoulder pads, formed from the rear halves of the car, give the impression of the wings his original toy had. Equipped with a double-barreled gun (formed from his car engine), two pairs of double-barreled, slide-out wrist blasters, and two shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, Tracks is the most heavily armed &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Tracks was first released in Japan under [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; line with yellow as its primary color. The Hasbro version, named &amp;quot;Autobot Tracks&amp;quot; for [[trademark]] reasons, was initially also intended to be released in yellow first, with a [[Variant#Running changes|running change]] to blue intended to come out later. However, when problems with the yellow plastic were discovered at the [[prototype|test shot]] stage, Hasbro decided to scrap the yellow version (presumably before it ever made it to the packaging stage), and instead released the toy in blue from the get-go. (Any [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|rumors]] that the toy was shipped to stores and then recalled have never been backed up by any evidence.) A blue &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; variant was later also released to match the Hasbro version, which retroactively replaced the yellow version as the &amp;quot;main&amp;quot; color variant in Takara&#039;s promotional material for the line (even though the blue version&#039;s packaging and [[instructions|instruction booklet]] still depict the yellow version).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The main difference between Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version and the Japanese &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; version is that both color variants of &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Tracks have the majority of their car body panels constructed of [[die-cast]] metal, which are also fully painted, whereas the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version is made out of unpainted plastic. In addition, the blue version of &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Tracks (which is a slightly darker shade of blue than its &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; counterpart) also came with a large reproduction of his Generation 1 predecessor&#039;s hood flame sticker. This sticker was eventually released with Hasbro&#039;s own &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; [[Swerve (G1)#Alternators|Swerve]], a [[retool]] of Tracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[[File:Alternators Tracks Arm Cannons Springs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right|The official images always lie.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Initially, Chevrolet had denied Hasbro and Takara the license for the Z06 Corvette. Thus, an auxiliary plan for Tracks was devised, this time as another &amp;quot;well-known American sports car&amp;quot;, a Dodge Viper. Eventually, though, Chevrolet had a change of mind and granted Hasbro and Takara the license for the Corvette design after all. As a result, the Viper sculpt was slightly redesigned, given a new head sculpt, and ultimately ended up as [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Sideswipe]] instead (called &amp;quot;Side Swipe&amp;quot; for trademark reasons).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;vipertracks&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Control drawings for the Viper as Tracks, sporting a Tracks head sculpt and a different [[transformation]] for the doors, allowing them to more closely resemble Tracks&#039;s G1 wings, are depicted in the Japanese &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Binaltech &amp;amp; TF Collection Complete Guide]]&#039;&#039; book.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Tracks head sculpt originally designed for the Viper body ultimately ended up being used for the Corvette version of Tracks, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In addition, the original prototype for Tracks (seen in the Takara [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the toy&#039;s packaging and in the Hasbro [[instructions]]) featured a spring-loaded trigger mechanism for the arm cannons, which was changed to the final toy&#039;s manually deployed cannon mechanism starting with the test shot stage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to only shipping in two [[wave]]s, Tracks initially ended up as one of the rarer &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toys. When Hasbro tried to relaunch the line in 2006, a re-released Tracks (with no changes other than the different packaging) was part of the first wave of the new assortment. Ironically, the re-released Tracks ended up as a [[shelfwarmer]] this time around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This sculpt was retooled significantly to make &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Battle Ravage]] (aka &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Ravage), and later given a second retool that only replaced the head sculpt for the aforementioned Swerve.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the fifth wave of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|2010 &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039;]] Deluxe Class toys, Turbo Tracks transforms from a blue sports car resembling a jaguar F-type from the back into a winged robot. Tracks comes with three [[C joint|C clip]] weapons, one of which can be handheld, while the missile launchers clip behind his head, a callback to his G1 toy. He can also assume a flying car mode by folding out the wings in car mode and moving the missile launchers from under the doors to tabs on a rotatable flipout panel just behind the rear window. This configuration frees up the launchers&#039; clips, allowing &#039;&#039;[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]&#039;&#039; accessories to be attached. His main gun can then attach to his underside. As part of the first wave of the &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; promotion, he sports a [[rubsign]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Turbo Tracks was redecoed into [[BotCon 2012]] [[Tracks (SG)#Timelines|Tracks]] and retooled into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]], &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]&#039;&#039; [[Runamuck (G1)#Timelines|Runamuck]], and &#039;&#039;Timelines&#039;&#039; [[Runabout (G1)#Timelines|Over-Run]].&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers United|United]]&#039;&#039; Tracks is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; Deluxe Tracks. &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks features a more detailed paint deco, including metallic blue paint on his blue plastic panels, a Generation 1-style flame hood symbol and painted rear trunk grille and tailpipes. The yellow paint on Turbo Tracks&#039;s chest is unpainted on the &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; version, and the yellow paint on Turbo Tracks&#039; waist is now silver. &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks has light blue painted eyes to Turbo Tracks&#039;s unpainted smoky gray. United Tracks also has a more detailed rear in car mode, featuring painted exhausts, a silver grill detail, as well as the painted taillights like on Turbo Tracks. Unlike a good portion of Turbo Tracks figures, the red paint on &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks&#039;s face comes all the way up to the crest of his helmet. Despite all these changes, the two figures have identical (or nearly identical) plastic colors. As with all &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; versions of the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toys, Tracks lacks a heat-sensitive rubsign, replacing it with a [[tampograph]]ed Autobot sigil.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Kre-O]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Autobot Tracks&amp;quot; is a small brick-built [[Kreon]] figure, using the 2015-style construction with raised hands and the sturdier &amp;quot;peg-in-peg&amp;quot; torso/waist connection. His body [[tampograph]]s are heavily toy-based, but he has a cartoon-based face design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He was only available as part of the [[San Diego Comic-Con]]-[[exclusive]] &amp;quot;[[Kreon Class of &#039;85]]&amp;quot; 30-Kreon set. This set was also sold online through [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] after the show.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Q-Transformers]]&#039;&#039; Tracks is a redeco and retool of [[Crosshairs (AOE)#Q-Transformers|QT-04 Crosshairs]] with a new head, transforming into a [[super deformed]] Chevrolet Corvette C7. For reasons unknown, the release of Tracks was pushed back several times—initially slated for release as part of the fourth wave on [[March 21]], 2015, he was first moved to wave 5 on [[June 27]]th before ultimately seeing release by himself on [[October 25]]th.

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Tracks transforms into an officially-licensed Corvette Stingray, which can also achieve the character&#039;s traditional flight mode. As with other figures in the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime&#039;s trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Tracks lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. An extra pair is included in case of loss or breakage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the original Tracks toy had the flight mode rockets on top, this version has the rockets underneath and adds tail fins to the top, which the G1 toy did not have. The rockets can be moved to the top to emulate the original toy but this is more of a [[fan mode]] configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For accessories, he comes with his traditional handheld black beam gun, along with a version that can be plugged on the vehicle mode&#039;s front grill to recreate the scene from &amp;quot;[[Megatron&#039;s Master Plan, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, a flight stand for the vehicle, and a small figure of Raoul (based on his &amp;quot;[[Make Tracks]]&amp;quot; color scheme) and a small non-transforming Blaster in boombox mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The mold was retooled into [[Loudpedal#Masterpiece|MP-25B Loudpedal]] and further retooled into [[Road Rage (G1)#Masterpiece|MP-26 Road Rage]] &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:In Japan, a red rubber mini-figure of Tracks was available in part of a [[Decoy|massive multi-pack of similar mini-figurines]]. The number etched into his back is the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]] ratings, as these figurines were used as game pieces for a variety of &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; board games in which this number had some meaning to how the game was played or something.&lt;br /&gt;

:The original Tracks toy transforms into a blue [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Chevrolet Corvette &amp;quot;C3&amp;quot; model year 1979-1982]] with a large flame decal on his hood. Tracks&#039;s vehicle mode can achieve a [[Transportation mode|flight mode]] via two flip-out wings and attachable rocket launchers. In [[robot mode]], Tracks is armed with a long rifle that covers most of his lower arm, and the two white rocket launchers are now mounted above his head. The rifle can also attach to his back for storage or for additional weaponry in flight mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The European version of Tracks, released by Hasbro&#039;s newly acquired [[Milton Bradley]] subsidiary, was initially available in red, based on the original &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; color scheme; the toy is also depicted in red on the [[package art|mural scene]] on the back of 1985 Transformers packaging. The best evidence available suggests that this red Tracks was actually a &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; toy originally released in Europe by [[France|French]] company [[Joustra]]; when Hasbro/MB acquired Joustra&#039;s leftover unsold &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; inventory, the red Tracks-es were taken out of the original packaging, given [[rubsign]]s, and put into MB Transformers boxes.  It is believed that this is also the origin for the rest of the last-minute, second wave of MB-branded Transformers toys released in Europe in 1985.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mbjoustra&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ &amp;quot;MB Transformers: Part 4&amp;quot;] and [http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-6/ &amp;quot;MB Transformers: Part 6&amp;quot;] at 20th Century Toy Collector.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When Hasbro&#039;s name replaced the MB branding on European Transformers packaging, many of the MB-branded toys were re-released in the new packaging. The &amp;quot;Hasbro&amp;quot;-branded version of European Tracks now sported the same blue color as his US counterpart.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;maz&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=mb &amp;quot;Milton Bradley and the Transformers Red Tracks&amp;quot; at TF-1.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:A [[redeco]] of the original Tracks, Black Tracks was offered as part of a contest connected to the release of the &#039;&#039;[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Comics]]&#039;&#039; manga compilation. 300 Black Tracks figures were awarded through this contest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure was apparently inspired by a black redeco of the &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; Corvette Stingray mold that was available in limited numbers from the R-Kioski store chain in Finland. Only a few original examples have been found.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Tracks|an evil clone]] of Tracks and later inspired the new &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; character [[Loudpedal]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Engine/blaster&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]&#039;&#039; toy of Tracks updates his [[alternate mode]] to a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] 1:24 scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Corvette Z06]], featuring opening doors, an opening hood with an engine block underneath, a realistic interior, a &amp;quot;steering&amp;quot; mechanism that makes the front wheels move in unison, and [[rubber tires]]. His rocket launchers are stored next to the passenger and driver seats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, Tracks greatly resembles his Generation 1 self, though with one major difference: The roof of his actual car no longer forms the front of his chest. Instead, he has a [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|pseudo-car-roof]] chest piece that folds down. His large shoulder pads, formed from the rear halves of the car, give the impression of the wings his original toy had. Equipped with a double-barreled gun (formed from his car engine), two pairs of double-barreled, slide-out wrist blasters, and two shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, Tracks is the most heavily armed &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Tracks was first released in Japan under [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; line with yellow as its primary color. The Hasbro version, named &amp;quot;Autobot Tracks&amp;quot; for [[trademark]] reasons, was initially also intended to be released in yellow first, with a [[Variant#Running changes|running change]] to blue intended to come out later. However, when problems with the yellow plastic were discovered at the [[prototype|test shot]] stage, Hasbro decided to scrap the yellow version (presumably before it ever made it to the packaging stage), and instead released the toy in blue from the get-go. (Any [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|rumors]] that the toy was shipped to stores and then recalled have never been backed up by any evidence.) A blue &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; variant was later also released to match the Hasbro version, which retroactively replaced the yellow version as the &amp;quot;main&amp;quot; color variant in Takara&#039;s promotional material for the line (even though the blue version&#039;s packaging and [[instructions|instruction booklet]] still depict the yellow version).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The main difference between Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version and the Japanese &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; version is that both color variants of &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Tracks have the majority of their car body panels constructed of [[die-cast]] metal, which are also fully painted, whereas the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version is made out of unpainted plastic. In addition, the blue version of &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Tracks (which is a slightly darker shade of blue than its &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; counterpart) also came with a large reproduction of his Generation 1 predecessor&#039;s hood flame sticker. This sticker was eventually released with Hasbro&#039;s own &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; [[Swerve (G1)#Alternators|Swerve]], a [[retool]] of Tracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[[File:Alternators Tracks Arm Cannons Springs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right|The official images always lie.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Initially, Chevrolet had denied Hasbro and Takara the license for the Z06 Corvette. Thus, an auxiliary plan for Tracks was devised, this time as another &amp;quot;well-known American sports car&amp;quot;, a Dodge Viper. Eventually, though, Chevrolet had a change of mind and granted Hasbro and Takara the license for the Corvette design after all. As a result, the Viper sculpt was slightly redesigned, given a new head sculpt, and ultimately ended up as [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Sideswipe]] instead (called &amp;quot;Side Swipe&amp;quot; for trademark reasons).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;vipertracks&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Control drawings for the Viper as Tracks, sporting a Tracks head sculpt and a different [[transformation]] for the doors, allowing them to more closely resemble Tracks&#039;s G1 wings, are depicted in the Japanese &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Binaltech &amp;amp; TF Collection Complete Guide]]&#039;&#039; book.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Tracks head sculpt originally designed for the Viper body ultimately ended up being used for the Corvette version of Tracks, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In addition, the original prototype for Tracks (seen in the Takara [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the toy&#039;s packaging and in the Hasbro [[instructions]]) featured a spring-loaded trigger mechanism for the arm cannons, which was changed to the final toy&#039;s manually deployed cannon mechanism starting with the test shot stage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to only shipping in two [[wave]]s, Tracks initially ended up as one of the rarer &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toys. When Hasbro tried to relaunch the line in 2006, a re-released Tracks (with no changes other than the different packaging) was part of the first wave of the new assortment. Ironically, the re-released Tracks ended up as a [[shelfwarmer]] this time around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This sculpt was retooled significantly to make &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Battle Ravage]] (aka &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Ravage), and later given a second retool that only replaced the head sculpt for the aforementioned Swerve.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 white clip-on missile launchers, 1 black gun/clip-on launcher&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the fifth wave of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|2010 &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039;]] Deluxe Class toys, Turbo Tracks transforms from a blue sports car resembling a jaguar F-type from the back into a winged robot. Tracks comes with three [[C joint|C clip]] weapons, one of which can be handheld, while the missile launchers clip behind his head, a callback to his G1 toy. He can also assume a flying car mode by folding out the wings in car mode and moving the missile launchers from under the doors to tabs on a rotatable flipout panel just behind the rear window. This configuration frees up the launchers&#039; clips, allowing &#039;&#039;[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]&#039;&#039; accessories to be attached. His main gun can then attach to his underside. As part of the first wave of the &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; promotion, he sports a [[rubsign]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Turbo Tracks was redecoed into [[BotCon 2012]] [[Tracks (SG)#Timelines|Tracks]] and retooled into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]], &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]&#039;&#039; [[Runamuck (G1)#Timelines|Runamuck]], and &#039;&#039;Timelines&#039;&#039; [[Runabout (G1)#Timelines|Over-Run]].&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers United|United]]&#039;&#039; Tracks is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; Deluxe Tracks. &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks features a more detailed paint deco, including metallic blue paint on his blue plastic panels, a Generation 1-style flame hood symbol and painted rear trunk grille and tailpipes. The yellow paint on Turbo Tracks&#039;s chest is unpainted on the &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; version, and the yellow paint on Turbo Tracks&#039; waist is now silver. &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks has light blue painted eyes to Turbo Tracks&#039;s unpainted smoky gray. United Tracks also has a more detailed rear in car mode, featuring painted exhausts, a silver grill detail, as well as the painted taillights like on Turbo Tracks. Unlike a good portion of Turbo Tracks figures, the red paint on &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks&#039;s face comes all the way up to the crest of his helmet. Despite all these changes, the two figures have identical (or nearly identical) plastic colors. As with all &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; versions of the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toys, Tracks lacks a heat-sensitive rubsign, replacing it with a [[tampograph]]ed Autobot sigil.&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;[[Kre-O]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Autobot Tracks&amp;quot; is a small brick-built [[Kreon]] figure, using the 2015-style construction with raised hands and the sturdier &amp;quot;peg-in-peg&amp;quot; torso/waist connection. His body [[tampograph]]s are heavily toy-based, but he has a cartoon-based face design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He was only available as part of the [[San Diego Comic-Con]]-[[exclusive]] &amp;quot;[[Kreon Class of &#039;85]]&amp;quot; 30-Kreon set. This set was also sold online through [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] after the show.&lt;br /&gt;

For reasons unknown, the release of Tracks was pushed back several times—initially slated for release as part of the fourth wave on [[March 21]], 2015, he was first moved to wave 5 on [[June 27]]th before ultimately seeing release by himself on [[October 25]]th.

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Tracks transforms into an officially-licensed Corvette Stingray, which can also achieve the character&#039;s traditional flight mode. As with other figures in the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime&#039;s trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Tracks lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. An extra pair is included in case of loss or breakage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the original Tracks toy had the flight mode rockets on top, this version has the rockets underneath and adds tail fins to the top, which the G1 toy did not have. The rockets can be moved to the top to emulate the original toy but this is more of a [[fan mode]] configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For accessories, he comes with his traditional handheld black beam gun, along with a version that can be plugged on the vehicle mode&#039;s front grill to recreate the scene from &amp;quot;[[Megatron&#039;s Master Plan, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, a flight stand for the vehicle, and a small figure of Raoul (based on his &amp;quot;[[Make Tracks]]&amp;quot; color scheme) and a small non-transforming Blaster in boombox mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The mold was retooled into [[Loudpedal#Masterpiece|MP-25B Loudpedal]] and further retooled into [[Road Rage (G1)#Masterpiece|MP-26 Road Rage]] &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:In Japan, a red rubber mini-figure of Tracks was available in part of a [[Decoy|massive multi-pack of similar mini-figurines]]. The number etched into his back is the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]] ratings, as these figurines were used as game pieces for a variety of &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; board games in which this number had some meaning to how the game was played or something.&lt;br /&gt;

:The original Tracks toy transforms into a blue [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Chevrolet Corvette &amp;quot;C3&amp;quot; model year 1979-1980]] with a large flame decal on his hood. Tracks&#039;s vehicle mode can achieve a [[Transportation mode|flight mode]] via two flip-out wings and attachable rocket launchers. In [[robot mode]], Tracks is armed with a long rifle that covers most of his lower arm, and the two white rocket launchers are now mounted above his head. The rifle can also attach to his back for storage or for additional weaponry in flight mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The European version of Tracks, released by Hasbro&#039;s newly acquired [[Milton Bradley]] subsidiary, was initially available in red, based on the original &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; color scheme; the toy is also depicted in red on the [[package art|mural scene]] on the back of 1985 Transformers packaging. The best evidence available suggests that this red Tracks was actually a &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; toy originally released in Europe by [[France|French]] company [[Joustra]]; when Hasbro/MB acquired Joustra&#039;s leftover unsold &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; inventory, the red Tracks-es were taken out of the original packaging, given [[rubsign]]s, and put into MB Transformers boxes.  It is believed that this is also the origin for the rest of the last-minute, second wave of MB-branded Transformers toys released in Europe in 1985.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mbjoustra&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ &amp;quot;MB Transformers: Part 4&amp;quot;] and [http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-6/ &amp;quot;MB Transformers: Part 6&amp;quot;] at 20th Century Toy Collector.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When Hasbro&#039;s name replaced the MB branding on European Transformers packaging, many of the MB-branded toys were re-released in the new packaging. The &amp;quot;Hasbro&amp;quot;-branded version of European Tracks now sported the same blue color as his US counterpart.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;maz&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=mb &amp;quot;Milton Bradley and the Transformers Red Tracks&amp;quot; at TF-1.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]&#039;&#039; toy of Tracks updates his [[alternate mode]] to a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] 1:24 scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Corvette Z06]], featuring opening doors, an opening hood with an engine block underneath, a realistic interior, a &amp;quot;steering&amp;quot; mechanism that makes the front wheels move in unison, and [[rubber tires]]. His rocket launchers are stored next to the passenger and driver seats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, Tracks greatly resembles his Generation 1 self, though with one major difference: The roof of his actual car no longer forms the front of his chest. Instead, he has a [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|pseudo-car-roof]] chest piece that folds down. His large shoulder pads, formed from the rear halves of the car, give the impression of the wings his original toy had. Equipped with a double-barreled gun (formed from his car engine), two pairs of double-barreled, slide-out wrist blasters, and two shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, Tracks is the most heavily armed &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Tracks was first released in Japan under [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; line with yellow as its primary color. The Hasbro version, named &amp;quot;Autobot Tracks&amp;quot; for [[trademark]] reasons, was initially also intended to be released in yellow first, with a [[Variant#Running changes|running change]] to blue intended to come out later. However, when problems with the yellow plastic were discovered at the [[prototype|test shot]] stage, Hasbro decided to scrap the yellow version (presumably before it ever made it to the packaging stage), and instead released the toy in blue from the get-go. (Any [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|rumors]] that the toy was shipped to stores and then recalled have never been backed up by any evidence.) A blue &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; variant was later also released to match the Hasbro version, which retroactively replaced the yellow version as the &amp;quot;main&amp;quot; color variant in Takara&#039;s promotional material for the line (even though the blue version&#039;s packaging and [[instructions|instruction booklet]] still depict the yellow version).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The main difference between Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version and the Japanese &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; version is that both color variants of &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Tracks have the majority of their car body panels constructed of [[die-cast]] metal, which are also fully painted, whereas the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version is made out of unpainted plastic. In addition, the blue version of &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Tracks (which is a slightly darker shade of blue than its &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; counterpart) also came with a large reproduction of his Generation 1 predecessor&#039;s hood flame sticker. This sticker was eventually released with Hasbro&#039;s own &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; [[Swerve (G1)#Alternators|Swerve]], a [[retool]] of Tracks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[[File:Alternators Tracks Arm Cannons Springs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right|The official images always lie.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Initially, Chevrolet had denied Hasbro and Takara the license for the Z06 Corvette. Thus, an auxiliary plan for Tracks was devised, this time as another &amp;quot;well-known American sports car&amp;quot;, a Dodge Viper. Eventually, though, Chevrolet had a change of mind and granted Hasbro and Takara the license for the Corvette design after all. As a result, the Viper sculpt was slightly redesigned, given a new head sculpt, and ultimately ended up as [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Sideswipe]] instead (called &amp;quot;Side Swipe&amp;quot; for trademark reasons).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;vipertracks&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Control drawings for the Viper as Tracks, sporting a Tracks head sculpt and a different [[transformation]] for the doors, allowing them to more closely resemble Tracks&#039;s G1 wings, are depicted in the Japanese &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Binaltech &amp;amp; TF Collection Complete Guide]]&#039;&#039; book.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Tracks head sculpt originally designed for the Viper body ultimately ended up being used for the Corvette version of Tracks, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In addition, the original prototype for Tracks (seen in the Takara [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the toy&#039;s packaging and in the Hasbro [[instructions]]) featured a spring-loaded trigger mechanism for the arm cannons, which was changed to the final toy&#039;s manually deployed cannon mechanism starting with the test shot stage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to only shipping in two [[wave]]s, Tracks initially ended up as one of the rarer &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toys. When Hasbro tried to relaunch the line in 2006, a re-released Tracks (with no changes other than the different packaging) was part of the first wave of the new assortment. Ironically, the re-released Tracks ended up as a [[shelfwarmer]] this time around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This sculpt was retooled significantly to make &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Battle Ravage]] (aka &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Ravage), and later given a second retool that only replaced the head sculpt for the aforementioned Swerve.&lt;br /&gt;

:Part of the fifth wave of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|2010 &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039;]] Deluxe Class toys, Turbo Tracks transforms from a blue sports car resembling a jaguar F-type from the back into a winged robot. Tracks comes with three [[C joint|C clip]] weapons, one of which can be handheld, while the missile launchers clip behind his head, a callback to his G1 toy. He can also assume a flying car mode by folding out the wings in car mode and moving the missile launchers from under the doors to tabs on a rotatable flipout panel just behind the rear window. This configuration frees up the launchers&#039; clips, allowing &#039;&#039;[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]&#039;&#039; accessories to be attached. His main gun can then attach to his underside. As part of the first wave of the &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; promotion, he sports a [[rubsign]].&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers United|United]]&#039;&#039; Tracks is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; Deluxe Tracks. &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks features a more detailed paint deco, including metallic blue paint on his blue plastic panels, a Generation 1-style flame hood symbol and painted rear trunk grille and tailpipes. The yellow paint on Turbo Tracks&#039;s chest is unpainted on the &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; version, and the yellow paint on Turbo Tracks&#039; waist is now silver. &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks has light blue painted eyes to Turbo Tracks&#039;s unpainted smoky gray. United Tracks also has a more detailed rear in car mode, featuring painted exhausts, a silver grill detail, as well as the painted taillights like on Turbo Tracks. Unlike a good portion of Turbo Tracks figures, the red paint on &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; Tracks&#039;s face comes all the way up to the crest of his helmet. Despite all these changes, the two figures have identical (or nearly identical) plastic colors. As with all &#039;&#039;United&#039;&#039; versions of the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toys, Tracks lacks a heat-sensitive rubsign, replacing it with a [[tampograph]]ed Autobot sigil.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Tracks transforms into an officially-licensed Corvette Stingray, which can also achieve the character&#039;s traditional flight mode. As with other figures in the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime&#039;s trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Tracks lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. An extra pair is included in case of loss or breakage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the original Tracks toy had the flight mode rockets on top, this version has the rockets underneath and adds tail fins to the top, which the G1 toy did not have. The rockets can be moved to the top to emulate the original toy but this is more of a [[fan mode]] configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For accessories, he comes with his traditional handheld black beam gun, along with a version that can be plugged on the vehicle mode&#039;s front grill to recreate the scene from &amp;quot;[[Megatron&#039;s Master Plan, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, a flight stand for the vehicle, and a small figure of Raoul (based on his &amp;quot;[[Make Tracks]]&amp;quot; color scheme) and a small non-transforming Blaster in boombox mode.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Geckobot is a [[Maximal]] from the [[Beast Machines: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Machines]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{mainpic}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The agile &#039;&#039;&#039;Geckobot&#039;&#039;&#039; is both highly intelligent and very creative. His sail-like wings absorb energy, which he stores in a module on his back for use in his energy pulse weapons. He&#039;s very maneuverable in flight, and the absorption properties of his wings make him perfect for long-range missions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his spare time, he likes to create [[Slogism|garbage art]] from scrapped [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:AloneTogetherPrologue impercepton shield.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Second from right. He exists in fiction! Pay attention to him!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Geckobot was part of a cell of Maximals who rebelled against the status quo imposed by their [[Autobot]] masters. He joined a nighttime raid on [[Ferromax Detention Center]] to free [[Dinobot (BW)|Dynobot]], though he wasn&#039;t very keen on the name chosen for their concealment: the [[impercepton shield]]. When they rendezvoused with [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], Geckobot recalled he&#039;d heard reports the other Maximal had died, but Rattrap assured him the rumors were false. The team went on to liberate Dynobot. {{storylink|Alone Together: Prologue|Prologue}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Geckobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Basic, 2000)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the second wave of &#039;&#039;[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]&#039;&#039; Basics, Geckobot does not actually transform into a gecko despite his name; his [[technorganic]] [[beast mode]] is instead based on a [[Wikipedia:Draco (genus)|flying dragon]]. His wings are geared to &amp;quot;flap&amp;quot; in beast mode and become arm-mounted blades in [[robot mode]]. His [[spark crystal]] forms his beast mode eyes and is revealed fully by flipping open his lizard skull. Gruesome!&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Tailspin is an [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tailspin&#039;&#039;&#039; is the most impulsive member of the [[Race Car Patrol]]. He&#039;ll fire his weapons wildly in the general direction of the enemy without a thought for the collateral damage. While out on scouting missions, he&#039;ll start fights with the [[Decepticon]] forces they were sent to observe, often getting in over his head. [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]] admires his enthusiasm, but often has to remind Tailspin about the objective of their missions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]&#039;&#039; #6&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In need of reinforcements, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] summoned Tailspin and his teammates to [[Earth]], where they immediately started complaining about having to listen to big gas-guzzlers like him. Ordered by Prime to investigate suspected [[Decepticon]] activity near [[New Jersey (Earth)|New Jersey]], the Race Car Patrol went to patrol the roads, and ran into [[Cecilia Santiago]]. With her help, they located [[Iguanus (G1)|Iguanus]] in [[New York City]], where he was planting a nefarious device on top of the [[Empire State Building]]. While Tailspin had some trouble operating an elevator at first, the Race Car Patrol eventually defeated Iguanus, and decided to stay in New York from then on. {{storylink|King Con!}} During their stay in the city, Tailspin and [[Mudslinger (G1)|Mudslinger]] spent their time capturing human criminals. When [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]] decided to get into wrestling, Tailspin and [[Highjump (G1)|Highjump]] helped save his loyal fans from a Decepticon attack. {{storylink|The Interplanetary Wrestling Championship!}}&lt;br /&gt;

When [[Star Saber (Victory)|Victory Saber]] initiated the &amp;quot;Zone Project&amp;quot;, the Race Car Patrol helped rebuild Planet [[Micro]] into Planet Zone. To counter this threat, [[Violen Jiger]] began conquering planets in order to create his own [[Decepticon Zone]]. The Race Car Patrol and all other [[Micromaster]] teams were then sent on patrol across the galaxy, specifically to planets where their unique skills could do the most good. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[King Poseidon]] and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] attacked the aquatic planet of [[Wall]], the Race Car Patrol team were deployed to defend it. With the aid of Commanders [[Overload (G1)|Overload]], [[Erector (G1)|Erector]], [[Missile Bull]] and [[Skywave]], they emerged triumphant. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Race Car Patrol were one of the numerous Micromaster teams that helped defend Planet Zone from the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]]. Unfortunately, they were not able to prevent [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] from stealing the planet&#039;s [[Zodiac]] energy capsule. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}} {{storylink|Fight!

When the [[Powered Master]]s flew off to the [[Tenth Planet]] for their showdown with Violen Jiger, all the Micromaster teams took command of Zone and vowed to keep it safe in their Commander&#039;s absence. {{storylink|Fight!

Tailspin was one of the legions of [[Dead Universe]] Micromasters who pursued [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] and [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] on [[Gorlam Prime]]. He survived to confront Hardhead with the [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]-controlled Nightbeat in the planet&#039;s subterranean tunnels, but failed to prevent the Autobot from escaping into the Dead Universe.  {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}} Tailspin also attempted to stop [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] from pursuing a weakened Jhiaxus.

[[File:RoadHuggerBoxart.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|&amp;quot;Holy cow! Someone bit my elbow off!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even by Micromaster standards, &#039;&#039;&#039;Road Hugger&#039;&#039;&#039; is brash, defiant, and contemptuous of authority. His intelligence and bravery make him [[Blackjack]]&#039;s most valued operative in the [[Sports Car Patrol]], but his willingness to follow orders can&#039;t be relied on. Despite this, and his disdain for Blackjack&#039;s intricate plans and excessive caution, they work well together.&lt;br /&gt;

While most of Transformer-kind believed [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] to be deceased, the [[Sports Car Patrol]] worked in secret to help him regain control of the [[Decepticon]]s. Using forged [[Autobot]] insignia, the four Micromasters infiltrated the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and lured [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] with promises of advanced medical equipment to aid him in restoring his fallen comrades to life. In reality, Ratchet was needed to assist in the recreation of Megatron&#039;s most lethal lieutenant, [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]]. Road Hugger and his teammates continued to serve Megatron as muscle until Megatron&#039;s plans and his fortress came crashing down around him, thanks to Ratchet&#039;s trickery.&lt;br /&gt;

Road Hugger performed some painful detail work on his fellow Micromaster [[Mudslinger (G1)|Mudslinger]] in [[The Burn Outs|a neutral bar]] in [[Little Iacon]] as the Autobot [[Hot Rod Patrol]] arrived in the establishment, and witnessed their subsequent confrontation with the [[Race Track Patrol]]. {{storylink|The Gray Race}}&lt;br /&gt;

After [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] lost a race with [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]], Road Hugger tried to pick a fight with the defeated Autobot, but was captured by [[Chop Shop (G1)|Chop Shop]], who was searching for the Race Track Patrol. [[Venom (G1)|Venom]] convinced the reluctant [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] to toss him back. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Slapdash is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Slapdash boxart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Don&#039;t worry, he forgot to load that gun.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Slapdash&#039;&#039;&#039; is a ditz. Being a &#039;&#039;likable&#039;&#039; ditz is the only thing that has kept his fellow Autobots from abandoning him on the battlefield during one of his mishaps. When charging into combat, he&#039;ll often forget to bring his gun, to fill up his tank, or even to notify his partner [[Lube]] that they&#039;re going on a mission, leaving himself unable even to transform. On the other hand, he often manages to bumble his way successfully through a battle, demonstrating the kind of sheer luck reserved only for the idiots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In any case, he has excellent taste in [[Earth]] [[television]]. &#039;&#039;[[Miami Metal Clamp]]&#039;&#039; is his favorite show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====Marvel &#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039; comics====&lt;br /&gt;
{{noteukonly}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|Slapdash is one of several Autobots who was retroactively decided to have been on [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]&#039; mission of peace to Nebulos.}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Powermasterspeoplepower.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Absent-minded Slapdash left his not-standing-in-[[character model]] stance at home.]]&lt;br /&gt;
While two Earth Autobots named [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] settled their differences in a crater on Earth&#039;s moon, Slapdash, [[Joyride (G1)|Joyride]] and [[Getaway]] remained behind on the &#039;&#039;[[Steelhaven]]&#039;&#039; as a skeleton crew to guard the ship from attack. When the Decepticons &#039;&#039;did&#039;&#039; attack, [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]] commandeered the &#039;&#039;Steelhaven&#039;&#039; and its small crew to return to [[Nebulos]], in the hopes of rebuilding the legendary [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] as a true leader to oversee all Autobots. {{storylink|Totaled!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They ran into difficulties on Nebulos, however. The inhabitants were less than cooperative and had poisoned their fuel supplies since Fortress Maximus&#039;s crew had left in order to prevent further Transformers involvement on their world. What&#039;s worse, a pair of crooked Nebulans had made an alliance with two Decepticon bandits and made them uniquely immune to the poison fuel, putting Nebulos at their mercy. Slapdash and the others tried to fight back against the Decepticons, but were running dangerously low on fuel due to their long journey and proved no match for their [[Powermaster]] opponents. But after seeing the Autobots&#039; determination to revive their leader Optimus Prime at any cost, the Nebulan scientist [[Hi-Q]] and his research staff decided to help save the Autobots and underwent the Powermaster process themselves. Slapdash was binary-bonded to Lube, one of Hi-Q&#039;s top assistants. After successfully driving off the Decepticon Powermasters with their new strength, the Autobots and their binary-bonded partners all chose to leave Nebulos and return to Earth, with Optimus Prime once more functional. {{storylink|People Power!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While traveling back to Earth aboard the &#039;&#039;Steelhaven&#039;&#039;, Slapdash stood with the others as Optimus Prime displayed images of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and [[Earth]] for the benefit of their new Nebulon partners. This was interrupted by a transmission from the [[Cosmic Carnival]], which Slapdash and Joyride agreed looked fun. {{storylink|The Cosmic Carnival}} &#039;&#039;Finally, they reached Earth on [[Christmas]] Day. As Optimus Prime stood outside their [[Ark shuttlecraft|shuttle]] in the snow, Slapdash watched &amp;quot;[[Miami Metal Clamp]]&amp;quot; with some of their Nebulon partners. The broadcast was interrupted by an emergency news bulletin, which reported a Transformer-caused disturbance in town. Deciding to investigate quietly, Getaway took Slapdash, Joyride, and their partners into town, where they fought these mysterious Transformer troublemakers, only to find out they were Autobots! [[Wrecker]]s, in fact. (Or what was left of them.) Optimus Prime returned from his moment alone to impart on Slapdash and the rest about their responsibility to the planet.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Cold Comfort and Joy!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Slapdash frequently demonstrated his sloppiness while active on Earth. He, like, totally forgot to bring Lube along for a key defensive mission, leaving himself stuck in vehicle mode and of little use to his fellow Powermasters, except as a decoy for Decepticon target practice. For sure.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Prime Bomb!}} &#039;&#039;On another occasion, he proved almost useful in underwater combat when he accidentally landed on one Seacon while falling to the ocean floor and backhanded another into unconsciousness without even realizing what was happening.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Dreadwing Down!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Slapdashwallflower.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Appletini, please! Easy on the tini!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Slapdash was one of several Autobots who, under Optimus Prime&#039;s command, responded to the [[Micromaster]] [[Air Strike Patrol]]&#039;s attack on [[MacDill Air Force Base]]. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}} When Prime realized that this was a diversion orchestrated by an [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|unknown party]], he ordered Slapdash and the others back on board the [[All-Terrain Turbo-Transport]] which brought them there. {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;During one of the Ark&#039;s quieter moments, he was seen sipping a refreshing drink while hanging out with his comrades. At least, until [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] attacked the Ark, intent on getting revenge on [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] and [[Siren]].&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Assault on the Ark!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Autobots lost the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] during [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]&#039;s destruction, Slapdash and his fellow Powermasters were part of a team that retrieved the [[Classic Pretender]]s from [[VsQs]]. Thereafter, the Autobots pursued recreational exploits to get their minds off the imminent threat of [[Unicron]]. During this period, an unhappy Slapdash lost a game of [[Cybertronian sport#Fullstasis|Fullstasis]] to [[Getaway]]. {{storylink|Eye of the Storm}}&lt;br /&gt;

Slapdash was among the Autobots monitoring the Decepticons from a distance when [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] made peaceful gestures to Humanity in [[New York City]], though nearly gave away their disguises by shouting loudly at the Decepticons. The Autobots returned to the Ark and discovered that a statue of Snaptrap that the Decepticons had gifted to New York was actually Snaptrap in disguise. Snaptrap went on a rampage and the Decepticons used this distraction to attack various other targets. Optimus Prime led the Autobots to narrowly defeat this menace. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 4#Transformers in Action: The Troy Principle|The Troy Principle}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Autobots discussed why the Decepticons were winning, Slapdash (who was usually quiet at meetings) burst out with an impassioned speech, saying the Autobots were losing because each Autobot was trying to be, in their own way, the leader, instead of thinking about the team. He declared the Autobots need to form a centralised world government based around principles of justice and defence of the weak, and they should work to erect a world government on Earth as this was the best way of bringing about peace. The Autobots applauded this, and Optimus declared they needed to keep Earth&#039;s fuel from the Decepticons in order to see Slapdash&#039;s vision become reality. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As if to dramatically underscore this, the Autobots then had to go protect oil tankers from Decepticon attack. Slapdash helped drive off this attack, but was distraught when this turned out to be a diversion from blitz strikes across the North American continent. Under Prime&#039;s command, he went into action and helped drive the Decepticons back. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 6|A Big Day for Powermaster Optimus Prime}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|Slapdash presumably meant a human world government, not the Autobots taking over Earth...}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a battle to preserve US nuclear missiles from falling into Decepticon hands, Slapdash challenged Darkwing and Dreadwind... who just flew away with the missiles. Whoops. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 8|Save Nevada Alpha}}&lt;br /&gt;

Slapdash battled the Cybertronian army on planet [[Ethos]] alongside [[Joyride (G1)|Joyride]] and [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]. His flaming wreckage could be seen at the end of the battle, possibly meaning he died. {{storylink|Escalation!}}&lt;br /&gt;

Slapdash was seen helping to rebuild the [[Ironworks]]. When the evil Autobots attacked from the negative polarity universe, Slapdash was one of the first wave assimilated by the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]]. {{storylink|Invasion (issue)|Invasion}}&lt;br /&gt;

Slapdash was stationed at the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] [[Civil Defense Hub]] when his fellow Autobots [[Brainstorm]], [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] and [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] showed up. Unbeknownst to Slapdash, they had been genetically altered by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] to be Decepticons of a sort. When Slapdash expressed surprise and shock at the trio&#039;s return from the dead, Highbrow remarked that it was Slapdash&#039;s turn to try, then shot him directly in the face, killing him. Highbrow then noted that it looked like Slapdash hadn&#039;t got the knack of resurrecting. The three then stepped over his still smoking body and entered the building. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Two}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently recovered but under the influence of Scorponok&#039;s [[Gene Key]], Slapdash joined both converted Autobots and Decepticons in the search for [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]], [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] and [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] in [[surface stratum zero]] of Iacon. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Four}} Later, he was at the [[Sonic Canyons]] as Scorponok prepared to use the Gene Key to rewrite the whole of Cybertron, only being stopped at the last minute by the intervention of [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Five}}&lt;br /&gt;

During the Age of Internment, Slapdash participated in an attempt to capture one of the [[Air Warrior|Aerospace Extermination Squadron]] that [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] had cloned using [[Quintesson]] technology. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}} Unfortunately, the drone was far more than they bargained for, reactivating suddenly and grabbing [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]]. Slapdash was the only &#039;bot with enough sense to demand reprisal immediately, but the hesitation by the other Autobots allowed the drone to defeat most of the team. Slapdash tried to crawl away from the battle, calling out to his friends, but the drone quickly caught up with him and prepared to execute the Autobot. Fortunately, Getaway attached the [[inhibitor claw]] onto the Aerospace drone, shutting it down. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.3}} &lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Slapdash&#039;&#039;&#039; (Powermaster, [[1988]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Lube&amp;quot; Powermaster partner, laser gun, engine block, spoiler&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Slapdash transforms into a yellow Lotus 99T Formula-1 race car with blue highlights. Like all Powermasters, Slapdash is &amp;quot;locked&amp;quot; in his vehicle form until his Powermaster engine Lube is inserted into the engine socket (or until you push down the relevant buttons in said socket) revealed by removing a large yellow engine block cover on the rear of his car mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unlike the other Autobot Powermaster cars, Lube plugs into what becomes Slapdash&#039;s robot mode chest, providing a very different look compared to the standard representation of the character, which features the yellow engine block in this position. The toy&#039;s instructions indicate you can &amp;quot;cheat&amp;quot; to achieve this look by not using his engine and that the cover and Lube are effectively interchangeable once Slapdash is transformed. Slapdash&#039;s spoiler plugs into his back and is designed to be able to hold whichever item is not attached to his chest at the time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was sold in Japan as [[Road King]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Slapdashmarvelhead.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|What a blockhead!]]&lt;br /&gt;
*A commercial for the Powermasters which included Slapdash also advertised &amp;quot;[[People Power!]],&amp;quot; the [[Marvel Comics]] issue in which he had his first major appearance. It is the only time the American [[character model]] is animated. &lt;br /&gt;
*The photo of Slapdash in the American 1988 Transformers toy catalog shows a version with yellow shoulders and blue forearms, which is opposite from the final production version. (Slapdash&#039;s first appearance in &amp;quot;People Power!&amp;quot; uses this color arrangement.) Also, he&#039;s absent-mindedly left his crotchplate flipped up, exposing his junk. Mistransformation or attention to character detail?&lt;br /&gt;
*Slapdash thinks [[Cosmic Carnival|carnivals]] are fun, likes to watch [[Miami Metal Clamp|cop shows]], and isn&#039;t very good at [[Cybertronian sport#Fullstasis|board games]]. &lt;br /&gt;
*Slapdash&#039;s Marvel Comics in-fiction appearances use a character model with a head that differs greatly from the toy&#039;s. While the toy has a rounded helmet with a pronounced v-shaped crest and a [[mouthplate]], Marvel gives him a very square head with a regular non-mouthplated face. It&#039;s unknown where the squared Marvel head comes from—even Slapdash&#039;s [[The Transformers Universe|&#039;&#039;Transformers Universe&#039;&#039; profile]] character model art is based on the rounded toy head, albeit with a non-mouthplated face. His appearance in the commercial segment noted above uses the toy-head-with-mouth version as well.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Motorhead is a [[Decepticon]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MotorheadBoxart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Dammit, where&#039;s my umlaut?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Motorhead&#039;&#039;&#039; actually cares what [[Barricade (G1)|his boss]] on the [[Race Track Patrol]] thinks of him. He spends too much time on the battlefield making sure Barricade notices his victories, instead of defeating the enemy. This just makes Barricade yell at him more,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]&#039;&#039; #4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; but he&#039;s getting better all the time. So much that, in fact, his teammate [[Roller Force]] is prepared to take him down if he gets too big for his circuits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|In Japan, &amp;quot;Motorstar&amp;quot; is the leader of the Race Car Patrol Team, rather than Barricade.}}&lt;br /&gt;

Following [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]]&#039;s defeat at the hands of [[Roadfire|Road Fire]], the Race Track Patrol were introduced as rivals of the [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]]s. They were described as being former Autobot Micromasters who defected to the side of the Decepticons, fueling the rivalry. They never actually took part in any battle. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 9}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave &#039;&#039;Generation One&#039;&#039; continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Motorheadvictimsrevol.jpg|left|thumb|IF YOU LIKE TO GAMBLE I TELL YOU I&#039;M YOUR MAN]]&lt;br /&gt;
Motorhead was among the Micromasters created by the Autobots and Decepticons millions of years after the launch of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. He was trained by the fearsome [[Bombshock (G1)|Bombshock]] and was persuaded by his star pupil, Barricade, to join the Decepticons. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}} Motorhead and his team were sent to disrupt the [[Monster Truck Patrol]]&#039;s retrieval of the fallen [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]], resulting in a firefight with their old comrades in the [[Hot Rod Patrol]]. Motorhead&#039;s sloppy shooting was berated by Barricade, and so he refocused his efforts—and shot his old friend [[Crunch (G1)|Crunch]]. Shaken, Motorhead returned with his team to Decepticon HQ. Once there, Barricade became disgusted with [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]&#039;s indifference to the plight of the Micromasters and took his team to [[Little Iacon]]. En route, they encountered the similarly alienated Hot Rod Patrol, but a confrontation between the two teams was preempted by the vampiric [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]]. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}} The Micromasters tried to defend themselves, but were unable to stop the marauders until the timely intervention of [[Groundshaker]], who departed with the Hot Rod Patrol. Motorhead and his comrades briefly met with Shockwave, but continued on to Little Iacon regardless. While relaxing at an underground bar, they met the Hot Rod Patrol again. Motorhead talked to [[Hubs]], who informed him that Crunch had died. Although horrified by having made his first kill, he later watched a race between [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]] and [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] with Hubs. {{storylink|The Gray Race}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the subsequent Insecticon raid on Little Iacon, Barricade made a deal with their leader, [[Venom (G1)|Venom]], to help them find the Hot Rod Patrol. Motorhead openly questioned Barricade&#039;s decision, but was reassured when Barricade told him that he intended to betray the Insecticons once their own safety was assured. He said as much, but Barricade quickly silenced him, berating him once more for his weakness and indecisiveness. Upon their arrival in Decepticon HQ, they found the Decepticons planning for a massive assault. Summoned by Shockwave, they instead found themselves granted an audience by [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] and [[Skyhopper]]—standing upon the fallen form of Shockwave! {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}} Skystalker rallied the Decepticon Micromasters to his cause and sent the full-sized Decepticon troops to their deaths in a futile battle, a plan that disgusted Motorhead. Nevertheless, Motorhead and his comrades defended Skystalker&#039;s command post from a [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]]-led attack. With the Autobots helpless, Countdown tried to appeal to Motorhead&#039;s distaste for the Decepticon ideology, but had little success—until Barricade told him that he&#039;d pressured him into fighting for the wrong team. Motorhead then joined the other Micromasters in a march on the battlefield where Skystalker had sent the Autobots and the Decepticons to die. By displaying Shockwave&#039;s corpse, they showed both factions that they had been manipulated. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Barricade&#039;&#039;&#039; learned how to take care of himself while running with [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]&#039;s most vicious racing gangs, and he brings that same brutal edge to his position as leader of the [[Race Track Patrol]]. His troops know that the slightest mistake will result in a merciless dressing down in front of the others, and they strive to meet his exacting standards. His hard-nosed, abusive leadership style doesn&#039;t do much for morale, but he figures it&#039;s for their own good.&lt;br /&gt;

Following [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]]&#039;s defeat at the hands of [[Roadfire]], the Race Track Patrol were introduced as rivals of the [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]]s. They were described as being former Autobot Micromasters who defected to the side of the Decepticons, fueling the rivalry. They never actually took part in any battle. {{storylink|Fight!

&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave &#039;&#039;Generation One&#039;&#039; continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
Originally named &amp;quot;Runner&amp;quot;, Barricade was created as part of a cross-factional experiment in which new Micromasters were allowed to function as neutrals, and to choose their own affiliations. Runner quickly saw the potential rewards of joining the Decepticons, and earned the new moniker &amp;quot;Barricade&amp;quot; in recognition of his blockade-running tactics. He was &amp;quot;scouted&amp;quot; by [[Bombshock (G1)|Bombshock]] and other Decepticons, and soon began preaching the Decepticon way to any Micros who would listen. When the [[Meltdown Riots]] hit, Barricade convinced a number of Micromasters to join him and officially sign up with the Decepticon cause. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barricade eventually became leader of his own squad, the Race Track Patrol. After a time, however, he became disillusioned with the Decepticon leadership. The full-sized &amp;quot;guzzlers&amp;quot; hoarded the ever-scarcer energon supplies in the Decepticon camp, despite the significant contribution by Barricade and his men to recover that energon in the first place. [[Shockwave (G1)|Commander Shockwave]] did nothing but tell them to file a formal complaint, and so Barricade finally quit the Decepticons, taking the Race Track Patrol with him. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Out in the [[Wastelands]], Barricade&#039;s team ran into their old rivals, the Autobot [[Hot Rod Patrol]]. [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] and his crew had come to a similar conclusion about the Autobots, and were looking to strike out on their own. Both groups made their way to [[Little Iacon]] to regroup and ponder their futures. {{storylink|The Gray Race}} When [[Venom (G1)|Venom]]&#039;s Insecticons arrived in Little Iacon looking for the Hot Rod Patrol, Barricade broke tradition to side with a faction instead of his fellow Micros, in order to secure safe passage for his team. Back at Decepticon headquarters, Barricade discovered [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] (a high-ranking Micro newly returned from space) had secretly overthrown Shockwave and put the Decepticons on the path to total war. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skystalker was preparing a skirmish to wipe out the guzzlers altogether, and he wanted Barricade and the Decepticon Micromasters to stand with him in the new world order that would rise up afterwards. Listening to Skystalker&#039;s speeches, however, Barricade came to realize just how much the Decepticons had duped him in the past, using him to recruit the other Micros, but never truly respecting him or his fellow &#039;bots. Barricade convinced his team to join up with the Autobot Micros who had been taken prisoner in Little Iacon, and they responded to the scene of the guzzlers&#039; battle, bringing an end to the conflict. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}&lt;br /&gt;

A tiny dude who looked kinda like Barricade was one of the denizens of [[Gorlam Prime]] who accosted [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] and [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] when they arrived on the planet. {{Storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A full-sized Barricade was a Decepticon police officer who settled on [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]]&#039;s post-war Cybertron to rebuild a peaceful society, though unlike others he refused to join the [[NAIL|neutrals]] out of faith in the true Decepticon cause—equality. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}} He participated in the investigation of the murders of [[Wilder]], [[Brisko]] and [[Treadshot (Universe 2003)|Treadshot]], stressing that the victims were &#039;&#039;Cybertronians&#039;&#039; and not just some &amp;quot;&#039;Cons&amp;quot;, though Starscream thought it unimportant and advised him to take it easy with the investigation. {{storylink|City of Steel (issue)|City of Steel}} Barricade helped arrest the primary suspects, the [[Firecon]]s, but they were proven innocent and he went on to help investigate a &#039;&#039;fourth&#039;&#039; murder scene. This time, Starscream ordered him to gather a crew and raze buildings in the Decepticon ghetto in hopes of getting someone to squeal, but he rejected the order, refusing to turn on his fellow Decepticons, an act that earned him praise from [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]]. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}} Barricade then helped Prime with his plan to lure out the killer by using the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] as bait, dropping the Autobot team through a trap door to keep them out of danger. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (issue)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}&lt;br /&gt;

The [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] successfully intercepted them right as they neared their goal, and the four Decepticons had to destroy the weapon to keep it out of Autobot hands. {{storylink|Eagle Eyes}}&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Trip-Up is an [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Trip-up cardart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|All you want to do is ride around, Trip-Up.  (Ride, Trip-Up, ride.)]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All of the members of the [[Hot Rod Patrol]] are known as troublemakers, but &#039;&#039;&#039;Trip-Up&#039;&#039;&#039; is the one who starts the kind of trouble that gets someone&#039;s nose busted. Overly aggressive and always out to prove himself, Trip-Up thinks only with his fists, starting fights when he gets bored with trying to start races. Team leader [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] makes no attempt to discipline the rowdy bot, but does try to occasionally steer the impressionable [[Hubs]] away from him to keep the younger Autobot from emulating his violent behavior. One Trip-Up is more than enough.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]&#039;&#039; #7&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

During a mission to rescue [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]], Trip-Up and the Hot Rod Patrol ended up in a firefight with the Decepticons, one that led to the death of [[Crunch (G1)|Crunch]]. Angered that their friend had died fighting in a war they didn&#039;t even start, [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] chose to leave the Autobots after arguments with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and the [[Battle Patrol]]. The other Hot Rod Patrol members agreed with &amp;quot;B.I.G.&amp;quot;, as Trip-Up called him, and headed for [[The Burn Outs]]. On the way, they ran into the [[Race Track Patrol]], who had also abandoned their faction, but both groups were attacked by the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]]. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Trip-Up and the others had left their weapons at the Autobot base, they ended up being saved by [[Groundshaker]]. He brought the Hot Rod Patrol to [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]], who asked them to join him, but they turned him down and continued to The Burn Outs. Upon arrival, Trip-Up stole [[Roller Force]]&#039;s seat, which almost led to a fight breaking out between the two Micromasters. Trip-Up ended up ignoring Roller Force in favor of watching a race between Big Daddy and [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]]. {{storylink|The Gray Race}} After Big Daddy lost, the Insecticons showed up again and attacked the gathered Micromasters. As the Hot Rod Patrol returned to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] to ask the Autobots for help, Trip-Up voiced his opinion that the Race Track Patrol had betrayed them all to the Insecticons. The Battle Patrol wouldn&#039;t let them back into the base, however, so they chose to take Countdown up on his offer. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the other Hot Rod Patrol members got all mushy about fighting the good fight alongside Big Daddy, Trip-Up only wanted to kick some Decepticon skidplate. They then infiltrated the Decepticon headquarters, freed some captured Micromasters, and learned that Trip-Up had been right about the Race Track Patrol. In the end, they managed to stop [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] from pushing the Autobots and Decepticons into a double-suicide conflict so that Skystalker could pick up the pieces. It was a victory, but a hollow one, and Trip-Up and the Hot Rod Patrol continued to question their role in the war. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{disambig3|Big Daddy}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Big Daddy is an [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Big daddy boxart.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Before we go crazy, before we explode, there&#039;s something &#039;bout me, baby, you got to know.]]&lt;br /&gt;
His idle is a little rough, daddy-o, but his carb&#039;s in the right place. &#039;&#039;&#039;Big Daddy&#039;&#039;&#039; is the leader of the [[Autobot]] [[Hot Rod Patrol]]. He might be &amp;quot;Big Daddy&amp;quot; to the younger cats on the patrol, but he&#039;s really a fairly new [[Micromaster]], whose main program loop hasn&#039;t fully optimized itself yet. He doesn&#039;t always dig what the brass are saying, and sometimes he just splits and does his own thing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, this Yank tank is older than his years. He ain&#039;t just playing the leader bit; he&#039;d give his last drop of go-juice for the patrol, and he&#039;s hep to the royal shaft the [[Micromaster]]s so often get from the big boys. With a few years and a little experience he&#039;d be one of the best there is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|In Japan, &amp;quot;Grease&amp;quot; is also the leader of the &amp;quot;Hot Rod Team&amp;quot;.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave &#039;&#039;Generation One&#039;&#039; continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bigdaddydw3.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Who knew 1957 Chevy Bel Airs were around on Cybertron several million years ago?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Big Daddy was among the hundreds of Micromasters created by the Autobots and [[Decepticon]]s millions of years after the launch of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. While in [[Little Iacon]], he befriended Runner, who later became the Decepticon known as [[Barricade (G1)|Barricade]]. Big Daddy, along with the [[Hot Rod Patrol]], was selected to join the Autobots. He and his team helped the [[Monster Truck Patrol]] recover [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]], but clashed with his former friends in the Decepticon [[Race Track Patrol]] in the battle that ensued. Big Daddy succeeded in evacuating Roadbuster, but team member [[Crunch (G1)|Crunch]] was killed in the process. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon returning to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Big Daddy angrily confronted [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. After storming out, he picked a fight with [[Sidetrack]] and [[Sunrunner]], avoiding a brawl only when [[Hydraulic]] intervened. The confrontation helped Big Daddy realize that the Autobot/Decepticon war wasn&#039;t the Micromasters&#039; to fight, and he took off for Little Iacon with his team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bigdaddydw4.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Rebel without a cause. Or brain diameter, apparently.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Driving through the [[Wastelands]], Big Daddy and the Hot Rod Patrol ran straight into the Race Track Patrol, who had just deserted the Decepticons. A fight loomed, but was prevented by the arrival of [[Falcon (OC)|Falcon]] and [[Flanker]] and their pursuers, a group of vampiric [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]]. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}} The Micromasters were heavily outmatched, but were saved from certain doom when [[Groundshaker]] arrived with his ATV, driving off the Insecticons. Groundshaker took Big Daddy and his charges to [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]]&#039;s base, where he tried to recruit them for a mysterious mission. Big Daddy and his team declined, and continued on their way to Little Iacon. Once there, Big Daddy met with [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]] at an underground bar. Roadhandler chided Big Daddy for leaving the Autobots, and challenged him to a race. Big Daddy took an early lead, but Roadhandler&#039;s experience led him to victory. {{storylink|The Gray Race}} After the race, Big Daddy got in another fight, this time with [[Road Hugger (G1)|Road Hugger]], but was distracted by another Insecticon raid. The Hot Rod Patrol fled back to Iacon, hoping to enlist the aid of the Autobots, but were denied access to [[Autobase]] by Sidetrack and Sunrunner. As they left, [[Stakeout (G1)|Stakeout]] told them that they were &#039;&#039;persona non grata&#039;&#039; with Magnus, prompting them to go to Countdown for help. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Countdown stormed the Decepticon base, Big Daddy and his team snuck into it via oil-disposal tunnels and freed the Micromasters imprisoned by the Insecticons. After battling their way through [[Ransack (G1)|Ransack]] and [[Barrage (Insecticon)|Barrage]], they ran straight into Barricade and the Race Track Patrol. While the rest of the team engaged the Decepticons, Big Daddy headed for the command center and saved Countdown from being crushed by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]&#039;s severed head. Big Daddy and the rest of the freed Micromasters accompanied Countdown to a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, and convinced them to lay down arms by informing them that [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] had engineered the whole thing. As the Decepticons retreated, Big Daddy tried to console a dying Sidetrack, who cursed him with his last breath. Countdown tried to have Big Daddy calm the restless crowd of Micromasters, but Big Daddy rejected his grand plans, as well as those of the Autobots and the Decepticons. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Big Daddy left the battlefield, vowing to find something more than constant war, toil and death... on his own. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}&lt;br /&gt;

Big Daddy (or an alternate-universe incarnation) was one of countless Transformers pulled from his timestream to engage in the death-duels of the [[Cauldron]] deep inside the shattered [[Unicron]]. He escaped this fate in the jail-break set by [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]]. {{storylink|Escape (Universe)|Escape}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Presumably, he was safely returned to his timeline or universe of origin. Because he&#039;s that awesome.&lt;br /&gt;

Big Daddy was one of the denizens of [[Gorlam Prime]] who accosted [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] and [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] when they arrived on the planet. {{Storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] (in his [[Action Master]] body) introduced [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to Big Daddy, as well as the rest of the Hot Rod Patrol. Prime agreed that they were a &amp;quot;sharp-looking bunch,&amp;quot; but he wanted to know if they could transform. A voice which is likely Big Daddy&#039;s answered, &amp;quot;You bet we can! We&#039;re Micromasters!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, &#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039; told &#039;&#039;Jazz&#039;&#039; to check out &#039;&#039;&#039;his&#039;&#039;&#039; new Micromaster Hot Rod Patrol, opening his fist to reveal the tiny car-mode bots. Squaresville! Property is theft, man. {{storylink|Commercial}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{factions|autobot}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Hubs is an [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:HubsMTMTE.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|I&#039;ll go ya one better, if you&#039;ve got the nerve. Let&#039;s race all the way... to Deadman&#039;s Curve.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Though every member of the [[Hot Rod Patrol]] is a young bot with a rebellious streak, &#039;&#039;&#039;Hubs&#039;&#039;&#039; takes it a step further than the rest. He&#039;s the youngest and most energetic of the team... which, combined with his also being the least skilled member, often leads to him getting neck-deep in trouble. The overly-aggressive [[Trip-Up]] also serves as a bad influence on the impressionable bot.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]&#039;&#039; #7&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It doesn&#039;t help that his anti-authoritarian streak is so wide that he even chafes when the &amp;quot;leader of the pack&amp;quot; [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] takes command. Big Daddy finds himself having to watch Hubs carefully, as he&#039;s the only one of the team he&#039;s worried about getting into serious trouble when on missions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;More Than Meets The Eye&#039;&#039; #3&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave &#039;&#039;Generation One&#039;&#039; continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
Hubs was the junior member of the Hot Rod Patrol. He hooked up with [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] and his crew during the [[Meltdown Riots]] and signed on full-time as a member of the Autobot army. Despite this, he maintained a decent friendship with [[Motorhead (Decepticon)|Motorhead]], rookie Decepticon for their counterparts in the [[Race Track Patrol]]. The two of them were trading jabs during a fight when Motorhead&#039;s shooting went wild, killing a fellow Micro named [[Crunch (G1)|Crunch]]. Crunch&#039;s death was the final straw that led to the Hot Rods resigning from the Autobots and trying to go it on their own. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hubs followed Big Daddy out into the [[Wastelands]] and after a brief encounter with [[Insecticon (G1)|highwaymen]], traveled on to [[Little Iacon]]. At [[The Burn Outs]], Hubs met up with Motorhead and had to break the news of Crunch&#039;s death to him. Before they could discuss it any further, Big Daddy challenged [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]], the baddest of the bad, to a race. Everything else was forgotten as the Micros made their way outside to get a good view. Hubs was pumped about how cool his leader was, until he lost the race at the last moment when Roadhandler pulled some slick moves. Hubs tried to call out Big Daddy on his loss, but Trip-Up and Greaser made him show some respect—ain&#039;t no way anyone else could do so well against Roadhandler, so represent, yo. {{storylink|The Gray Race}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Little Iacon soon came under attack from [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]&#039;s mutant freaks, and the Hot Rod Patrol peeled out to get some reinforcements from Autobot HQ. Turned out, however, that the [[Battle Patrol|Rank-and-File Brigade]] had smeared their reputations something nasty after they left, and they couldn&#039;t even get inside. The only bit of luck was Stakeout sneaking them some weapons. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}} With nowhere else to go, they hooked up with Aerospace Commander [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]] in order to infiltrate Decepticon headquarters and rescue the Autobot Micros. They succeeded in time to stop [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] from pushing the Autobots and Decepticons into a double-suicide conflict so Skystalker could pick up the pieces. It was a victory, but a hollow one, and Hubs and the Hot Rod Patrol continued to question their role in the war. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
Hubs was one of the denizens of [[Gorlam Prime]] who accosted [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] and [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] when they arrived on the planet. {{Storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}}&lt;br /&gt;

:Hubs transforms into a pale green 1941 Willys Coupe hot rod. Like [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]], due to his large wheels, he slopes forward slightly, though not to the extent of his teammate&#039;s vehicle mode.

:&#039;&#039;Greaser is an [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Greaser cardart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I&#039;m not braggin&#039;, babe, so don&#039;t put me down.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Greaser&#039;&#039;&#039; is the &amp;quot;muscle&amp;quot; of the [[Hot Rod Patrol]], and serves as [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]]&#039;s right-hand bot. He&#039;s the most skilled at vehicular combat, and with good reason. Banned from legit races by his criminal record during the &amp;quot;peacetime&amp;quot;, Greaser turned to illegal races where the losers are likely to leave in a box to satisfy his need for speed. Numerous bouts against the likes of [[Barricade (G1)|Barricade]] and other future [[Decepticon]]s honed his skills and earned him his numerous vehicle-mode armaments, including his trademark oil slicks... but he found himself longing to get out. He eventually joined the Autobots, but his past still haunts him. He doesn&#039;t like to talk about it, and &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; doesn&#039;t like it when anyone else does.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More Than Meets The Eye]]&#039;&#039; #3&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave &#039;&#039;Generation One&#039;&#039; continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
Greaser was created along with many new Transformers by the Micromaster process, a pooling of [[energon]] and technology by the Autobots and the Decepticons during hard times, in order to create a new generation of more fuel efficient warriors. The uneasy truce included shared &amp;quot;parental rights&amp;quot; by both factions, with the Micromasters receiving lectures and combat instruction from both sides in turn, until they chose a faction for themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many Micromasters didn&#039;t appreciate being drafted into a war the moment they were brought on-line, and began to rebel against authority in protest. Greaser was one of the most rebellious of the lot. A racer down to his spark-core, Greaser&#039;s record of petty larceny kept him from competing in the officially sanctioned tournaments, forcing him to find less reputable ones instead. These extreme street racing circuits only further tarnished his record, and his standing in the eyes of many Autobots. He eventually left the illegal circuit, apparently through the intervention and support of his new patrol leader, [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]], and became an active member of the Autobots following the [[Meltdown Riots]]. When Big Daddy got fed up with the guzzlers and their rules, Greaser and the rest of the Hot Rod Patrol quit with him, heading out for [[Little Iacon]]. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After running into some trouble, the Patrol eventually made their way to [[The Burn Outs]] for some R&amp;amp;R, hooking up with the [[Race Track Patrol]]. [[Ground Hog]] started chatting Greaser up about old times, looking to see if he was ready to start &#039;jacking Autobots for energon again, now that he was a free agent. Despite breaking ties with the army, though, Greaser wasn&#039;t interested in resuming his criminal lifestyle. {{storylink|The Gray Race}} When a Decepticon attack interrupted their reprieve at Little Iacon, Greaser and the Patrol prepared to eat their words and headed back to Autobot HQ for reinforcements. Unfortunately, [[Sidetrack]] and [[Sunrunner]] of the &amp;quot;Rank and File Brigade&amp;quot; had done a number on their reputations after the walkout, and refused to even let them back in the door. [[Stakeout (G1)|Stakeout]] managed to sneak out with some weapons so that they could arm themselves, but no more help was coming. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Running out of options, the Hot Rod Patrol went to see [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]], a guzzler-turned-Micromaster who had recently returned from a long-term space mission, and had previously approached them about joining his cause. They managed to break into Decepticon HQ and free the Micros who had been captured in Little Iacon. Together, the Autobot and Decepticon Micromasters briefly aligned to stop the war between the guzzlers which had been initiated by Countdown&#039;s opposite number, [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]]. Still, nothing really changed and the war...went on. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Many Micromasters didn&#039;t appreciate being drafted into a war the moment they were brought on-line, and began to rebel against authority in protest. Greaser was one of the most rebellious of the lot. A racer down to his spark-core, Greaser&#039;s record of petty larceny kept him from competing in the officially sanctioned tournaments, forcing him to find less reputable ones instead. These extreme street racing circuits only further tarnished his record, and his standing in the eyes of many Autobots. He eventually left the illegal circuit, apparently through the intervention and support of his new patrol leader, [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]], and became an active member of the Autobots following the [[Meltdown Riots]]. When Big Daddy got fed up with the guzzlers and their rules, Greaser and the rest of the Hot Rod Patrol quit with him, heading out for [[Little Iacon]]. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After running into some trouble, the Patrol eventually made their way to [[The Burn Outs]] for some R&amp;amp;R, hooking up with the [[Race Track Patrol]]. [[Ground Hog]] started chatting Greaser up about old times, looking to see if he was ready to start &#039;jacking Autobots for energon again, now that he was a free agent. Despite breaking ties with the army, though, Greaser wasn&#039;t interested in resuming his criminal lifestyle. {{storylink|The Gray Race}} When a Decepticon attack interrupted their reprieve at Little Iacon, Greaser and the Patrol prepared to eat their words and headed back to Autobot HQ for reinforcements. Unfortunately, [[Sidetrack]] and [[Sunrunner]] of the &amp;quot;Rank and File Brigade&amp;quot; had done a number on their reputations after the walkout, and refused to even let them back in the door. [[Stakeout (G1)|Stakeout]] managed to sneak out with some weapons so that they could arm themselves, but no more help was coming. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Running out of options, the Hot Rod Patrol went to see [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]], a guzzler-turned-Micromaster who had recently returned from a long-term space mission, and had previously approached them about joining his cause. They managed to break into Decepticon HQ and free the Micros who had been captured in Little Iacon. Together, the Autobot and Decepticon Micromasters briefly aligned to stop the war between the guzzlers which had been initiated by Countdown&#039;s opposite number, [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]]. Still, nothing really changed and the war...went on. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}&lt;br /&gt;

Greaser was one of the denizens of [[Gorlam Prime]] who accosted [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] and [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] when they arrived on the planet. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}}&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Hubs is an [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:HubsMTMTE.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|I&#039;ll go ya one better, if you&#039;ve got the nerve. Let&#039;s race all the way... to Deadman&#039;s Curve.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Though every member of the [[Hot Rod Patrol]] is a young bot with a rebellious streak, &#039;&#039;&#039;Hubs&#039;&#039;&#039; takes it a step further than the rest. He&#039;s the youngest and most energetic of the team... which, combined with his also being the least skilled member, often leads to him getting neck-deep in trouble. The overly-aggressive [[Trip-Up]] also serves as a bad influence on the impressionable bot.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]&#039;&#039; #7&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It doesn&#039;t help that his anti-authoritarian streak is so wide that he even chafes when the &amp;quot;leader of the pack&amp;quot; [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] takes command. Big Daddy finds himself having to watch Hubs carefully, as he&#039;s the only one of the team he&#039;s worried about getting into serious trouble when on missions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;More Than Meets The Eye&#039;&#039; #3&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave &#039;&#039;Generation One&#039;&#039; continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
Hubs was the junior member of the Hot Rod Patrol. He hooked up with [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] and his crew during the [[Meltdown Riots]] and signed on full-time as a member of the Autobot army. Despite this, he maintained a decent friendship with [[Motorhead (Decepticon)|Motorhead]], rookie Decepticon for their counterparts in the [[Race Track Patrol]]. The two of them were trading jabs during a fight when Motorhead&#039;s shooting went wild, killing a fellow Micro named [[Crunch (G1)|Crunch]]. Crunch&#039;s death was the final straw that led to the Hot Rods resigning from the Autobots and trying to go it on their own. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hubs followed Big Daddy out into the [[Wastelands]] and after a brief encounter with [[Insecticon (G1)|highwaymen]], traveled on to [[Little Iacon]]. At [[The Burn Outs]], Hubs met up with Motorhead and had to break the news of Crunch&#039;s death to him. Before they could discuss it any further, Big Daddy challenged [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]], the baddest of the bad, to a race. Everything else was forgotten as the Micros made their way outside to get a good view. Hubs was pumped about how cool his leader was, until he lost the race at the last moment when Roadhandler pulled some slick moves. Hubs tried to call out Big Daddy on his loss, but Trip-Up and Greaser made him show some respect—ain&#039;t no way anyone else could do so well against Roadhandler, so represent, yo. {{storylink|The Gray Race}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Little Iacon soon came under attack from [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]&#039;s mutant freaks, and the Hot Rod Patrol peeled out to get some reinforcements from Autobot HQ. Turned out, however, that the [[Battle Patrol|Rank-and-File Brigade]] had smeared their reputations something nasty after they left, and they couldn&#039;t even get inside. The only bit of luck was Stakeout sneaking them some weapons. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}} With nowhere else to go, they hooked up with Aerospace Commander [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]] in order to infiltrate Decepticon headquarters and rescue the Autobot Micros. They succeeded in time to stop [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] from pushing the Autobots and Decepticons into a double-suicide conflict so Skystalker could pick up the pieces. It was a victory, but a hollow one, and Hubs and the Hot Rod Patrol continued to question their role in the war. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Greaser is an [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Greaser cardart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I&#039;m not braggin&#039;, babe, so don&#039;t put me down.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Greaser&#039;&#039;&#039; is the &amp;quot;muscle&amp;quot; of the [[Hot Rod Patrol]], and serves as [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]]&#039;s right-hand bot. He&#039;s the most skilled at vehicular combat, and with good reason. Banned from legit races by his criminal record during the &amp;quot;peacetime&amp;quot;, Greaser turned to illegal races where the losers are likely to leave in a box to satisfy his need for speed. Numerous bouts against the likes of [[Barricade (G1)|Barricade]] and other future [[Decepticon]]s honed his skills and earned him his numerous vehicle-mode armaments, including his trademark oil slicks... but he found himself longing to get out. He eventually joined the Autobots, but his past still haunts him. He doesn&#039;t like to talk about it, and &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; doesn&#039;t like it when anyone else does.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More Than Meets The Eye]]&#039;&#039; #3&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Unfortunately, [[Sidetrack]] and [[Sunrunner]] of the &amp;quot;Rank and File Brigade&amp;quot; had done a number on their reputations after the walkout, and refused to even let them back in the door.

They managed to break into Decepticon HQ and free the Micros who had been captured in Little Iacon. Together, the Autobot and Decepticon Micromasters briefly aligned to stop the war between the guzzlers which had been initiated by Countdown&#039;s opposite number, [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]].

:&#039;&#039;Greaser is an [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Greaser cardart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I&#039;m not braggin&#039;, babe, so don&#039;t put me down.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Greaser&#039;&#039;&#039; is the &amp;quot;muscle&amp;quot; of the [[Hot Rod Patrol]], and serves as [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]]&#039;s right-hand bot. He&#039;s the most skilled at vehicular combat, and with good reason. Banned from legit races by his criminal record during the &amp;quot;peacetime&amp;quot;, Greaser turned to illegal races where the losers are likely to leave in a box to satisfy his need for speed. Numerous bouts against the likes of [[Barricade (G1)|Barricade]] and other future [[Decepticon]]s honed his skills and earned him his numerous vehicle-mode armaments, including his trademark oil slicks... but he found himself longing to get out. He eventually joined the Autobots, but his past still haunts him. He doesn&#039;t like to talk about it, and &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; doesn&#039;t like it when anyone else does.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More Than Meets The Eye]]&#039;&#039; #3&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave &#039;&#039;Generation One&#039;&#039; continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
Greaser was created along with many new Transformers by the Micromaster process, a pooling of [[energon]] and technology by the Autobots and the Decepticons during hard times, in order to create a new generation of more fuel efficient warriors. The uneasy truce included shared &amp;quot;parental rights&amp;quot; by both factions, with the Micromasters receiving lectures and combat instruction from both sides in turn, until they chose a faction for themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many Micromasters didn&#039;t appreciate being drafted into a war the moment they were brought on-line, and began to rebel against authority in protest. Greaser was one of the most rebellious of the lot. A racer down to his spark-core, Greaser&#039;s record of petty larceny kept him from competing in the officially sanctioned tournaments, forcing him to find less reputable ones instead. These extreme street racing circuits only further tarnished his record, and his standing in the eyes of many Autobots. He eventually left the illegal circuit, apparently through the intervention and support of his new patrol leader, [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]], and became an active member of the Autobots following the [[Meltdown Riots]]. When Big Daddy got fed up with the guzzlers and their rules, Greaser and the rest of the Hot Rod Patrol quit with him, heading out for [[Little Iacon]]. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{disambig3|Big Daddy}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Big Daddy is an [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Big daddy boxart.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Before we go crazy, before we explode, there&#039;s something &#039;bout me, baby, you got to know.]]&lt;br /&gt;
His idle is a little rough, daddy-o, but his carb&#039;s in the right place. &#039;&#039;&#039;Big Daddy&#039;&#039;&#039; is the leader of the [[Autobot]] [[Hot Rod Patrol]]. He might be &amp;quot;Big Daddy&amp;quot; to the younger cats on the patrol, but he&#039;s really a fairly new [[Micromaster]], whose main program loop hasn&#039;t fully optimized itself yet. He doesn&#039;t always dig what the brass are saying, and sometimes he just splits and does his own thing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, this Yank tank is older than his years. He ain&#039;t just playing the leader bit; he&#039;d give his last drop of go-juice for the patrol, and he&#039;s hep to the royal shaft the [[Micromaster]]s so often get from the big boys. With a few years and a little experience he&#039;d be one of the best there is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|In Japan, &amp;quot;Grease&amp;quot; is also the leader of the &amp;quot;Hot Rod Team&amp;quot;.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave &#039;&#039;Generation One&#039;&#039; continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bigdaddydw3.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Who knew 1957 Chevy Bel Airs were around on Cybertron several million years ago?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Big Daddy was among the hundreds of Micromasters created by the Autobots and [[Decepticon]]s millions of years after the launch of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. While in [[Little Iacon]], he befriended Runner, who later became the Decepticon known as [[Barricade (G1)|Barricade]]. Big Daddy, along with the [[Hot Rod Patrol]], was selected to join the Autobots. He and his team helped the [[Monster Truck Patrol]] recover [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]], but clashed with his former friends in the Decepticon [[Race Track Patrol]] in the battle that ensued. Big Daddy succeeded in evacuating Roadbuster, but team member [[Crunch (G1)|Crunch]] was killed in the process. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon returning to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Big Daddy angrily confronted [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. After storming out, he picked a fight with [[Sidetrack]] and [[Sunrunner]], avoiding a brawl only when [[Hydraulic]] intervened. The confrontation helped Big Daddy realize that the Autobot/Decepticon war wasn&#039;t the Micromasters&#039; to fight, and he took off for Little Iacon with his team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bigdaddydw4.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Rebel without a cause. Or brain diameter, apparently.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Driving through the [[Wastelands]], Big Daddy and the Hot Rod Patrol ran straight into the Race Track Patrol, who had just deserted the Decepticons. A fight loomed, but was prevented by the arrival of [[Falcon (OC)|Falcon]] and [[Flanker]] and their pursuers, a group of vampiric [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]]. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}} The Micromasters were heavily outmatched, but were saved from certain doom when [[Groundshaker]] arrived with his ATV, driving off the Insecticons. Groundshaker took Big Daddy and his charges to [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]]&#039;s base, where he tried to recruit them for a mysterious mission. Big Daddy and his team declined, and continued on their way to Little Iacon. Once there, Big Daddy met with [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]] at an underground bar. Roadhandler chided Big Daddy for leaving the Autobots, and challenged him to a race. Big Daddy took an early lead, but Roadhandler&#039;s experience led him to victory. {{storylink|The Gray Race}} After the race, Big Daddy got in another fight, this time with [[Road Hugger (G1)|Road Hugger]], but was distracted by another Insecticon raid. The Hot Rod Patrol fled back to Iacon, hoping to enlist the aid of the Autobots, but were denied access to [[Autobase]] by Sidetrack and Sunrunner. As they left, [[Stakeout (G1)|Stakeout]] told them that they were &#039;&#039;persona non grata&#039;&#039; with Magnus, prompting them to go to Countdown for help. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Countdown stormed the Decepticon base, Big Daddy and his team snuck into it via oil-disposal tunnels and freed the Micromasters imprisoned by the Insecticons. After battling their way through [[Ransack (G1)|Ransack]] and [[Barrage (Insecticon)|Barrage]], they ran straight into Barricade and the Race Track Patrol. While the rest of the team engaged the Decepticons, Big Daddy headed for the command center and saved Countdown from being crushed by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]&#039;s severed head. Big Daddy and the rest of the freed Micromasters accompanied Countdown to a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, and convinced them to lay down arms by informing them that [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] had engineered the whole thing. As the Decepticons retreated, Big Daddy tried to console a dying Sidetrack, who cursed him with his last breath. Countdown tried to have Big Daddy calm the restless crowd of Micromasters, but Big Daddy rejected his grand plans, as well as those of the Autobots and the Decepticons. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Big Daddy left the battlefield, vowing to find something more than constant war, toil and death... on his own. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}&lt;br /&gt;

Big Daddy (or an alternate-universe incarnation) was one of countless Transformers pulled from his timestream to engage in the death-duels of the [[Cauldron]] deep inside the shattered [[Unicron]]. He escaped this fate in the jail-break set by [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]]. {{storylink|Escape (Universe)|Escape}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Presumably, he was safely returned to his timeline or universe of origin. Because he&#039;s that awesome.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] (in his [[Action Master]] body) introduced [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to Big Daddy, as well as the rest of the Hot Rod Patrol. Prime agreed that they were a &amp;quot;sharp-looking bunch,&amp;quot; but he wanted to know if they could transform. A voice which is likely Big Daddy&#039;s answered, &amp;quot;You bet we can! We&#039;re Micromasters!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, &#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039; told &#039;&#039;Jazz&#039;&#039; to check out &#039;&#039;&#039;his&#039;&#039;&#039; new Micromaster Hot Rod Patrol, opening his fist to reveal the tiny car-mode bots. Squaresville! Property is theft, man. {{storylink|Commercial}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
All of the members of the [[Hot Rod Patrol]] are known as troublemakers, but &#039;&#039;&#039;Trip-Up&#039;&#039;&#039; is the one who starts the kind of trouble that gets someone&#039;s nose busted. Overly aggressive and always out to prove himself, Trip-Up thinks only with his fists, starting fights when he gets bored with trying to start races. Team leader [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] makes no attempt to discipline the rowdy bot, but does try to occasionally steer the impressionable [[Hubs]] away from him to keep the younger Autobot from emulating his violent behavior. One Trip-Up is more than enough.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]&#039;&#039; #7&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

During a mission to rescue [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]], Trip-Up and the Hot Rod Patrol ended up in a firefight with the Decepticons, one that led to the death of [[Crunch (G1)|Crunch]]. Angered that their friend had died fighting in a war they didn&#039;t even start, [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] chose to leave the Autobots after arguments with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and the [[Battle Patrol]]. The other Hot Rod Patrol members agreed with &amp;quot;B.I.G.&amp;quot;, as Trip-Up called him, and headed for [[The Burn Outs]]. On the way, they ran into the [[Race Track Patrol]], who had also abandoned their faction, but both groups were attacked by the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]]. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Trip-Up and the others had left their weapons at the Autobot base, they ended up being saved by [[Groundshaker]]. He brought the Hot Rod Patrol to [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]], who asked them to join him, but they turned him down and continued to The Burn Outs. Upon arrival, Trip-Up stole [[Roller Force]]&#039;s seat, which almost led to a fight breaking out between the two Micromasters. Trip-Up ended up ignoring Roller Force in favor of watching a race between Big Daddy and [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]]. {{storylink|The Gray Race}} After Big Daddy lost, the Insecticons showed up again and attacked the gathered Micromasters. As the Hot Rod Patrol returned to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] to ask the Autobots for help, Trip-Up voiced his opinion that the Race Track Patrol had betrayed them all to the Insecticons. The Battle Patrol wouldn&#039;t let them back into the base, however, so they chose to take Countdown up on his offer. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the other Hot Rod Patrol members got all mushy about fighting the good fight alongside Big Daddy, Trip-Up only wanted to kick some Decepticon skidplate. They then infiltrated the Decepticon headquarters, freed some captured Micromasters, and learned that Trip-Up had been right about the Race Track Patrol. In the end, they managed to stop [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] from pushing the Autobots and Decepticons into a double-suicide conflict so that Skystalker could pick up the pieces. It was a victory, but a hollow one, and Trip-Up and the Hot Rod Patrol continued to question their role in the war. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}&lt;br /&gt;

All of the members of the [[Hot Rod Patrol]] are known as troublemakers, but &#039;&#039;&#039;Trip-Up&#039;&#039;&#039; is the one who starts the kind of trouble that gets someone&#039;s nose busted.

Team leader [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] makes no attempt to discipline the rowdy bot, but does try to occasionally steer the impressionable [[Hubs]] away from him to keep the younger Autobot from emulating his violent behavior.

Upon arrival, Trip-Up stole [[Roller Force]]&#039;s seat, which almost led to a fight breaking out between the two Micromasters. Trip-Up ended up ignoring Roller Force in favor of watching a race between Big Daddy and [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]]. {{storylink|The Gray Race}} After Big Daddy lost, the Insecticons showed up again and attacked the gathered Micromasters. As the Hot Rod Patrol returned to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] to ask the Autobots for help, Trip-Up voiced his opinion that the Race Track Patrol had betrayed them all to the Insecticons. The Battle Patrol wouldn&#039;t let them back into the base, however, so they chose to take Countdown up on his offer. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the other Hot Rod Patrol members got all mushy about fighting the good fight alongside Big Daddy, Trip-Up only wanted to kick some Decepticon skidplate. They then infiltrated the Decepticon headquarters, freed some captured Micromasters, and learned that Trip-Up had been right about the Race Track Patrol. In the end, they managed to stop [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] from pushing the Autobots and Decepticons into a double-suicide conflict so that Skystalker could pick up the pieces. It was a victory, but a hollow one, and Trip-Up and the Hot Rod Patrol continued to question their role in the war. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{disambig3|Big Daddy}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Big Daddy is an [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Big daddy boxart.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Before we go crazy, before we explode, there&#039;s something &#039;bout me, baby, you got to know.]]&lt;br /&gt;
His idle is a little rough, daddy-o, but his carb&#039;s in the right place. &#039;&#039;&#039;Big Daddy&#039;&#039;&#039; is the leader of the [[Autobot]] [[Hot Rod Patrol]]. He might be &amp;quot;Big Daddy&amp;quot; to the younger cats on the patrol, but he&#039;s really a fairly new [[Micromaster]], whose main program loop hasn&#039;t fully optimized itself yet. He doesn&#039;t always dig what the brass are saying, and sometimes he just splits and does his own thing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, this Yank tank is older than his years. He ain&#039;t just playing the leader bit; he&#039;d give his last drop of go-juice for the patrol, and he&#039;s hep to the royal shaft the [[Micromaster]]s so often get from the big boys. With a few years and a little experience he&#039;d be one of the best there is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|In Japan, &amp;quot;Grease&amp;quot; is also the leader of the &amp;quot;Hot Rod Team&amp;quot;.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave &#039;&#039;Generation One&#039;&#039; continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bigdaddydw3.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Who knew 1957 Chevy Bel Airs were around on Cybertron several million years ago?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Big Daddy was among the hundreds of Micromasters created by the Autobots and [[Decepticon]]s millions of years after the launch of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. While in [[Little Iacon]], he befriended Runner, who later became the Decepticon known as [[Barricade (G1)|Barricade]]. Big Daddy, along with the [[Hot Rod Patrol]], was selected to join the Autobots. He and his team helped the [[Monster Truck Patrol]] recover [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]], but clashed with his former friends in the Decepticon [[Race Track Patrol]] in the battle that ensued. Big Daddy succeeded in evacuating Roadbuster, but team member [[Crunch (G1)|Crunch]] was killed in the process. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon returning to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Big Daddy angrily confronted [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. After storming out, he picked a fight with [[Sidetrack]] and [[Sunrunner]], avoiding a brawl only when [[Hydraulic]] intervened. The confrontation helped Big Daddy realize that the Autobot/Decepticon war wasn&#039;t the Micromasters&#039; to fight, and he took off for Little Iacon with his team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bigdaddydw4.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Rebel without a cause. Or brain diameter, apparently.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Driving through the [[Wastelands]], Big Daddy and the Hot Rod Patrol ran straight into the Race Track Patrol, who had just deserted the Decepticons. A fight loomed, but was prevented by the arrival of [[Falcon (OC)|Falcon]] and [[Flanker]] and their pursuers, a group of vampiric [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]]. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}} The Micromasters were heavily outmatched, but were saved from certain doom when [[Groundshaker]] arrived with his ATV, driving off the Insecticons. Groundshaker took Big Daddy and his charges to [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]]&#039;s base, where he tried to recruit them for a mysterious mission. Big Daddy and his team declined, and continued on their way to Little Iacon. Once there, Big Daddy met with [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]] at an underground bar. Roadhandler chided Big Daddy for leaving the Autobots, and challenged him to a race. Big Daddy took an early lead, but Roadhandler&#039;s experience led him to victory. {{storylink|The Gray Race}} After the race, Big Daddy got in another fight, this time with [[Road Hugger (G1)|Road Hugger]], but was distracted by another Insecticon raid. The Hot Rod Patrol fled back to Iacon, hoping to enlist the aid of the Autobots, but were denied access to [[Autobase]] by Sidetrack and Sunrunner. As they left, [[Stakeout (G1)|Stakeout]] told them that they were &#039;&#039;persona non grata&#039;&#039; with Magnus, prompting them to go to Countdown for help. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Countdown stormed the Decepticon base, Big Daddy and his team snuck into it via oil-disposal tunnels and freed the Micromasters imprisoned by the Insecticons. After battling their way through [[Ransack (G1)|Ransack]] and [[Barrage (Insecticon)|Barrage]], they ran straight into Barricade and the Race Track Patrol. While the rest of the team engaged the Decepticons, Big Daddy headed for the command center and saved Countdown from being crushed by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]&#039;s severed head. Big Daddy and the rest of the freed Micromasters accompanied Countdown to a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, and convinced them to lay down arms by informing them that [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] had engineered the whole thing. As the Decepticons retreated, Big Daddy tried to console a dying Sidetrack, who cursed him with his last breath. Countdown tried to have Big Daddy calm the restless crowd of Micromasters, but Big Daddy rejected his grand plans, as well as those of the Autobots and the Decepticons. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Big Daddy left the battlefield, vowing to find something more than constant war, toil and death... on his own. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}&lt;br /&gt;

Big Daddy (or an alternate-universe incarnation) was one of countless Transformers pulled from his timestream to engage in the death-duels of the [[Cauldron]] deep inside the shattered [[Unicron]]. He escaped this fate in the jail-break set by [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]]. {{storylink|Escape (Universe)|Escape}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Presumably, he was safely returned to his timeline or universe of origin. Because he&#039;s that awesome.&lt;br /&gt;

Big Daddy was one of the denizens of [[Gorlam Prime]] who accosted [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] and [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] when they arrived on the planet. {{Storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] (in his [[Action Master]] body) introduced [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to Big Daddy, as well as the rest of the Hot Rod Patrol. Prime agreed that they were a &amp;quot;sharp-looking bunch,&amp;quot; but he wanted to know if they could transform. A voice which is likely Big Daddy&#039;s answered, &amp;quot;You bet we can! We&#039;re Micromasters!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, &#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039; told &#039;&#039;Jazz&#039;&#039; to check out &#039;&#039;&#039;his&#039;&#039;&#039; new Micromaster Hot Rod Patrol, opening his fist to reveal the tiny car-mode bots. Squaresville! Property is theft, man. {{storylink|Commercial}}&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Whisper is a [[Decepticon]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:G1Whisper MTMTE.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|TIGER GENOCIDE!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Whisper&#039;&#039;&#039; is currently the leader of the [[Air Strike Patrol]], a position he holds by being braver than [[Nightflight (G1)|Nightflight]], smarter than [[Storm Cloud (G1)|Storm Cloud]], and bolder than [[Tailwind (G1)|Tailwind]]. In fact, if he wasn&#039;t completely despicable, he&#039;d probably make a good Autobot. Pity [[Whisper (Zone)|the position&#039;s taken]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]&#039;&#039; #7&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{noteukonly}}&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Whisper and his patrolmates were the first Decepticon Micromasters to be created. [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]] was able to trick the Patrol into fleeing with the aid of the deactivated bomb.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|A Small War!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Micromastercoats s.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|&amp;quot;We&#039;ll totally blend in on Earth this way!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Roadhandler became an overnight wrestling sensation on Earth, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] called in help to end the Autobot&#039;s growing public adulation, and an unknown Decepticon sent the Air Strike Patrol. Whisper got to threaten physical harm against small children to force Roadhandler to take a dive against [[Storm Cloud (G1)|Storm Cloud]]. {{storylink|The Interplanetary Wrestling Championship!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unknown to Scorponok, the patrol&#039;s secret employer was [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], who then sent the team on a mission to [[MacDill Air Force Base]] to capture the [[B-204]] refueling plane. When the [[Autobot]]s inevitably arrived, the team contacted Scorponok to tell him that they were under attack. {{storylink|Back from the Dead}} After a brief confrontation with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and the arrival of Scorponok&#039;s Decepticons, the Air Strike Patrol fled, their mission completed. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;They appear to have gone AWOL from the Decepticons after this, as Whisper was next seen as a private assassin with an open-ended contract to kill key Autobots. This in turn made Whisper a target of the Autobot [[Rescue Patrol (G1)|Rescue Patrol]], who damaged his wings and chased him into an Earthen forest. His patrolmates came to his aid, and the Rescue Patrol were called back by Optimus to stop the forest being destroyed. {{storylink|The Greatest Gift of All!}}&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whisper led his team across the southern United States, finally attacking an oil refinery. This was the same oil refinery where [[Dynamo|Hector Dialonzo]], a human with extraordinary powers, was working, and he single-handedly destroyed the Air Strike Patrol. Whisper was the last to fall, quickly realising Hector&#039;s power and deciding to threaten workers to get him to back off. This just pissed Hector off and made him attack anyway! {{storylink|The Human Factor!}}&lt;br /&gt;

In an alternate timeline, the Air Strike Patrol took [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]&#039;s side in a Decepticon Civil War against factions led by Scorponok and [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. They had a chance to kill a beaten Scorponok in 1991 but were stopped by the Autobots, as their battle was destroying a human city. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}&lt;br /&gt;

:This toy was sold in Japan without changes as the Autobot [[Whisper (Zone)|Whisper]] from &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Zone (toyline)|Zone]]&#039;&#039;. It was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Groundshaker]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*Whisper is gang molded with his teammate Storm Cloud and they share plastic colors.&lt;br /&gt;
*Whisper&#039;s vehicle mode appears to have been directly &amp;quot;inspired&amp;quot; by a 1988 Revell model kit of the then-unrevealed F-19 Stealth Fighter. &lt;br /&gt;
