	Take-Off was a blabbermouth Decepticon who joined in with [[Gutcruncher (G1)\|Gutcruncher]]'s crew because he admired the 'bot's intelligence. Unfortunately, he was rather stupid himself. At some point, Take-Off and his buddy [[Roadstorm]] attempted to trans-scan the laser-cycles of three "ruffians" from [[Rigel III]], only to be caught in an altercation with the trio. On another occasion, Take-Off rescued [[Roadgrabber]] in [[Median]]. He never let Raodgrabber forget that he owed him for the rescue.

	Gutcruncher discovered an asteroid containing [[Nucleon (substance)\|an extraordinary energy-source]], which he planned to use to destroy the [[Elite Guard]]. To this end, [[Charger]] sent Take-Off to secure a ship for them. But all Take-Off managed to do was to blab out the group's plans during a meeting with [[Axer (G1)\|Axer]]. [[Delta Seeker]] of the Elite Guard overheard Take-Off's ramblings, and took off to inform his superiors before Take-Off could stop him. Ashamed of his own foolishness, Take-Off drowned his sorrows with a few drinks before returning to HQ.

	After the ''Darklon'' landed on the asteroid, the Decepticons managed to escape and sneaked out of the ship to ambush the Autobots, taking them prisoner in turn. But when they excavated the crystal energy-source on the asteroid, the substance reacted violently, and both Autobots and Decepticons were struck by energy beams emanating from it. All those who were struck by the beams, including Take-Off, received increased physical power, but found themselves unable to transform. Rumbler overpowered Take-Off, and the Decepticons were taken in as Elite Guard prisoners. {{storylink\|A Team Effort}}		After the ''Darklon'' landed on the asteroid, the Decepticons managed to escape and sneaked out of the ship to ambush the Autobots, taking them prisoner in turn.

	'''Take-Off''' is a consummate Decepticon, believing that superiority in the air will ultimately lead to victory on the battlefield. The fact that becoming an Action Master means he needs to rely on external aids to take to the air hasn't dulled this belief one iota. His eagerness and devotion to the Decepticon cause makes him quick to action, and quick ''in'' action as one of the faster soldiers in the army. Take-Off can be a quick-talker as well, and is often heard bragging about the latest hapless Autobot scouting party he annihilated during a divebombing assault.
