Extreeme!

Joyride is one of the many civilian Autobots in hiding on the planet Earth following the evacuation of Cybertron. She enjoys taking long rides out in the desert, where there are no humans around to see (since a riderless motorcycle is kind of a giveaway), even though her alternate mode isn't really made for off-roading.

After Optimus Prime's team decided to enlist the aid of the civilian Cybertrons on Earth in their search for the Omega Lock, they distributed an image of the Atlantis Pattern among them. Joyride recognized the image, having seen it engraved in a rock face. She was on her way to report this to the Autobots when she was spotted and attacked by Thundercracker. This attack was observed by Phreaker, who radioed Autobot headquarters for help.

Optimus Prime led the group of Autobots who responded and drove the attacking Decepticon off, as Joyride's damage was repaired by Coby. She then led them to the rockface bearing the Atlantis Pattern. Although it turned out to be a copy rather than the location of the Omega Lock itself, it did contain the coordinates of the Jungle Planet. Search

Joyride was driving along a stretch of road when Jetfire made an announcement that the Autobots would be departing from Earth as part of a plan to save it from Starscream's forces. Retreat

When Megatron returned to Earth, searching for the traitor Starscream, Joyride locked a stasis beam onto Megatron's warp-gate from the fire dimension, stalling the Decepticons' entry long enough to evacuate the nearby humans at Niagara Falls. Revelation

Joyride was present when Mudflap and Landmine made amends, along with several other refugees. Family

Some time before the appearance of the Unicron Singularity, Joyride met Downshift and fell in love with him. The two joined together under the Covenant of Primus and were looking forward to spending their honeymoon in the Crystal Cities when orders came to have Cybertron evacuated. She and Downshift became separated and so ended up on Earth with no clue where to look for their significant other.

Eventually, they found each other through luck and persistence and were given orders by Optimus Prime to begin their adaptation to life on Earth in a small town south of Providence, Rhode Island. This was such a good experience for Joyride and Downshift that after the threat of the Unicron Singularity had ended, they chose to stay on Earth as envoys of Cybertron.

Notes

[edit]
That's, uh... my twin sister. Yeah.
  • Like pretty much all but one of the refugees, she is never seen in robot mode, only her alternate mode.
  • In the original Galaxy Force version, she was depicted as a male character.
  • As seen in the episode "Family", sometimes there are two of her.
  • When the Lugnutz redeco Hightail was revealed, many fans felt that it was going to be the toy version of the motorcycle refugee, what with being an Autobot cycle with vaguely the same color scheme. So much for that (it is possible it could be the second motorcycle mentioned above, but there is no firm evidence to confirm or debunk this).
  • The motorcycle refugee and "Downshift's lifebond partner" were retroactively established to be the same character and given a name by the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime.
