Even the spoiler's sticker has a cut down the middle! Furthermore, the car front hinge was likely double-jointed to allow the car chunk to go flat against the figure's back, but was possibly budgeted out. Evidence of this is left behind in the two layered plates (instead of a single piece) that form the figure's back for no reason.		: Likely owing to the figure starting life as the prototype for the Powermaster concept<ref>''[[Transformers Generations 2013]]'', p. 85</ref>, Getaway has some design peculiarities.

	''Getaway battled Darkwing inside, while [[Rev]] likewise fought with [[Throttle (G1)\|Throttle]]. The scuffle ended with Getaway's [[plasma-shell shotgun]] destroyed by Darkwing's [[electro-kinetic blaster]]s, and the Decepticons limping away with the disc in-hand. Knowing that if the Decepticons combined into their [[Dreadwing (G1)\|Dreadwing]] mode they would definitely escape, Getaway pushed his Powermaster partner to his limit and leaped upon the two jets as they reached one another. Dreadwind and Darkwing managed to combine, but with Getaway's hand stuck in their combination joint! As they took off, Getaway and Rev wound up getting tugged along for the ride.''

	''Getaway was captured by the Decepticons aboard Scorponok's orbiting spacecraft, where both he and Rev were imprisoned in energy manacles, and thrown in the brig. Left unsupervised, Getaway immediately got to work on an escape plan. Using the credit card he kept hidden on him, he deflected one of his cage's energy bars (which only affected metal) allowing him a gap to reach out and turn the cage's power off. Getaway was now free to move about, and in due course had Rev mobile as well. He instructed his Nebulan partner to find them an escape pod while he saw to botching up Optimus's assassination. Getaway interfaced with the computer Scorponok was using to program a smart missile, one that could track Optimus wherever he went. The computer showed signs of rudimentary intelligence, and introduced itself as "[[ABC]]".''

	: Released in the fifth year of the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|The Transformers]]'' toyline (fourth year in the European line), Getaway transforms into a racing-modified white [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Mazda RX\|Mazda RX-7 FC3S]]. His "plasma-shell shotgun" weapon can be plugged into the vehicle roof for storage via [[5 mm post]]. Attaching any Autobot Powermaster engine into the socket on the vehicle's hood unlocks Getaway's transformation sequence into [[robot mode]], though one ''can'' unlock the transformation simply by pressing down on the panel without one. (He ''can'' fit a Decepticon engine into the socket, but they will not unlock his transformation.)		: Released in the fifth year of the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|The Transformers]]'' toyline (fourth year in the European line), Getaway transforms into a racing-modified white [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Mazda RX\|Mazda RX-7 FC3S]].

	: Getaway has some design peculiarities. The lower legs work like a single unit like a great many toys of his era, but they are actually ''separate'' sections only held together by the spoiler. Even the spoiler's sticker has a cut down the middle! Furthermore, the car front hinge was likely double-jointed to allow the car chunk to go flat against the figure's back, but was possibly budgeted out. Evidence of this is left behind in the two layered plates (instead of a single piece) that form the figure's back for no reason.		: Getaway has some design peculiarities.
