:''Holi is an [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[Image:AnimeHoli.jpg|right|250px|thumb|I'm onwee twee an' a haf years old!]]

As leadership material, '''Holi''' (ホーリー ''Hōrī'') isn't exactly cut from the right cloth. He's young, but so is the rest of the [[Rescue Patrol Team]], and though he ''is'' the most mature of them all, that isn't saying much. Holi likes to hang out with [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]]'s human son, [[Jan Minakaze|Jan]], in his spare time. While a goof-off most of the time, when there's trouble he's quick to act. He is a fast-thinker and a resourceful one at that. But despite that, he tends to point out the fact that ''he'' is the leader of the Rescue Patrol. He misses his home planet of [[Micro]] greatly, mostly due to the fact that [[Clipper (G1)|his girlfriend]] is there (something the rest of the Rescue Patrol enjoys riding him on).

Holi spent much of his time hanging around with Jan—possibly more than is healthy—but they shared a close friendship. He was smarter than he seemed, as he apparently built Jan's hover-pod, without which the kid couldn't get around [[Autobot]] bases half as quickly as he did. He also showed pretty serious guts for such a tiny fellow; it took a certain kind of spunk to try a flying pounce on [[Leozack]]. Too bad he forgot about [[Lionbreast|Leozack's little buddy]].

Just when it seemed Holi's only purpose on Earth was to babysit Jan and occasionally take part in a skirmish, he got outed. He wasn't just ''any'' [[Micromaster]]—he was none other than the leader of the Rescue Patrol Team! Though a bit scatterbrained in his early approach, he quickly proved he was no slouch when it counted and led his team on a successful operation the very day they finally showed up. {{storylink|Move Out! Rescue Team}}

Following the destruction of [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]'s asteroid plant, [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] was called on to take care of some problems on [[Micro]]. Apparently, [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]] was more than a little busy elsewhere in the sector. The Rescue Patrol Team went along. {{storylink|Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior}}

After [[Blue Bacchus]] and [[Black Shadow (G1)|Black Shadow]] were taken care of, Leozack and crew showed up looking to bust their pal [[Guyhawk]] out of the [[Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary|prison on Micro's moon]]. Even with the ex-mercenary [[Sixshot (G1)|Greatshot]] helping them out (to Holi's initial dismay), the Autobots couldn't stop Guyhawk's release by [[Hellbat (G1)|Hellbat]]. With the prison falling down around them and a rather large lava pit beneath them, Holi looked on in bemusement as Greatshot attempted to sway his former colleague to the Autobot side. Guyhawk wasn't having it and blasted the [[Six Changer]], who tumbled into the lava pit, then made good his escape with the rest of the [[Breastforce]] close behind. Holi then proved himself not only a true Autobot by staying to pull Greatshot from the pit, but ridiculously strong for a Micromaster while he was at it. The only thing that stopped him from pulling Greatshot from the pit unassisted was the ground giving way under his feet. Luckily, Star Saber arrived just in time to save them both from gravity's merciless clutches. {{storylink|Rescue! Guyhawk}}

Holi then naturally took the opportunity to visit his girlfriend, [[Clipper (G1)|Clipper]], despite the good-natured ribbing his teammates gave him about it. After all, what self-respecting bot wouldn't pay a visit to his girl with a cadre of powerful [[Decepticon]] warriors on the loose? Holi was rewarded for his thoughtfulness when he and Clipper, out for a drive and a little bit of catch-up after his long absence from Micro, stumbled upon an argument between Hellbat and [[Deathcobra (G1)|Deathcobra]]. The loving couple were subsequently witness to Deathcobra's murder and given the blame by a panicking Hellbat, who ran off and told his tale to the rest of the Breastforce. For some reason, they bought the story and stormed off to take revenge for their fallen comrade. On the Micromasters who killed him. The pair were still conveniently at the scene and would have been scrap had it not been for the timely intervention of Star Saber. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}

[[Image:Holi zone.jpg|right|120px|thumb|Toy-accurate color scheme at last!]]

When [[Star Saber (G1)|Victory Saber]] initiated the "Zone Project", the Rescue Patrol helped rebuild planet [[Micro]] into planet Zone. To counter this threat, [[Violengiguar]] 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}}

When [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] attacked the planet [[Feminia]], the Rescue Patrol were among several units of Micromasters deployed to stop him. Through teamwork, they proved triumphant. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 2}}

When the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] attacked planet [[Feminia]] ''en masse'', the Rescue Patrol Team helped evacuate the planet of as many lifeforms as possible. However, they were unable to save Victory Saber, who sacrified himself to rescue the last of the humans. The Rescue Patrol were later seen cleaning up the [[Zone Base]] on planet Zone after another attack by the Demon Generals. Still later, they could be seen celebrating when Victory Saber (who was rescued by the [[Powered Master]]s) inaugurated [[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]] as new [[Supreme Commander]]. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

When the [[Powered Master]]s flew off to the [[Tenth Planet]] for their showdown with Violengiguar, all the Micromaster teams took command of Zone and vowed to keep it safe in their Commander's absence. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 10}}

:Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Micromasters, Stakeout transforms from robot to vaguely-Cybertronian-y police car. He can also combine with his pack-in teammate [[Red Hot#Generations|Red Heat]] to form the "Binerboost Salvage Blaster," a blaster-weapon for larger figures to wield. As a part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], their weapon mode can be attached to any toy with a [[5 mm post]]-hole. "Fire Blasts" can also be attached to their barrels.

:His car doors read "Police" in [[Alphabet#Autobot script|Autobot script]], though it is reversed on one of them (as seen in the photo).

:This mold was also used to make ''Siege'' [[Road Police#War for Cybertron: Siege|Road-Police]].

:*''Known designers'': [[Evan Brooks]] (Hasbro), [[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy), [[Guido Guidi]] (packaging artist)

:''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Holi is a [[redeco]] of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Stakeout (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Stakeout]], in more anime-inspired colors, as a third-tier bonus included with the [[Hasbro Pulse#HasLab|HasLab]] crowdfunded [[Star Saber (G1)#Legacy|Victory Saber]], unlocked once the project reached 20,000 backers. Holi transforms into a police car in 4 steps.

:As a redeco of Stakeout, Holi retains the mold's ability to combine with any version of the ''Siege'' [[Red Hot|Red Heat]] mold, such as the included [[Fire#Legacy|Fire]] (a fellow [[Rescue Patrol (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Rescue Patrol]] redeco), to form a blaster compatible with the 3 mm post (for [[Fire Blast effect]]s) and [[5 mm post|5 mm port]] [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. However, this functionality is unmentioned in the instructions. Should one choose to form this weapon, it can be held by the [[Ginrai (robot)#Legacy|Victory Leo figure]] included in the set. However, the weapon is incompatible with Star Saber, as his forearms are too wide, leaving not enough clearance for him to hold it.

:Victory Saber first started shipping to backers, beginning with those living in China, in November 2022.

==Notes==
*In the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (cartoon)|Victory]]'' anime, Holi and Boater (who are [[Gang-molding|gang-molded]]) were consistently drawn and colored as if their black plastic parts had instead been produced in white. It is possible that Takara had plans at one point to release them in these colors, so that Holi would more closely resemble a Japanese highway patrol car. In ''[[Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!|Zone]]'', however, Holi was colored to match his toy, though Boater was not.
*Nobody is really sure what his name (ホーリー) means. One guess is {{w|Holley Performance Products|Holley}}, a carburetor manufacturer for {{w|General Motors}} whose name is also rendered in Japanese as ホーリー. Another possible explanation is that it's based on '''poli'''ce ('''ポリ'''ス); the Japanese characters for ''po'' and ''ho'' are similar, differing only in the presence of a diacritical mark.

===Foreign names===
*''English:'' '''Fixit''' ([[Omni Productions]] dub), '''Stakeout''' ([[Shout! Factory]] sub)
*''Mandarin:'' '''Faye Hé''' (Taiwan, 何飛 "Why Flying" ''Hé Fēi''), '''Lù Lù Tōng''' (China, 路路通, "''{{w|Liquidambar}}''" or "All Roads Open")
*''Russian:'' '''Fixator''' (Фиксатор)
