	Blessed with super-speed of both mind and body, the thoughts of the young [[Rapido\|Racemaster]] inevitably end up straying to other matters as he is forced to carry out such boring tasks as obeying the speed limit. Pondering the fate of [[Blaze Master\|Choppermaster]], Racemaster realizes that the [[Power Core Combination\|Power Core]] drones he is in the process of transporting will likely make him a target for the [[Decepticon]]s... a suspicion confirmed almost immediately by the sudden appearance of [[Onslaught (G1)\|Combatmaster]]! The Decepticon surrounds Racemaster with his drones and demands he surrender the [[Autobot]] drones or die, but quickly discovers he has underestimated the youthful Autobot as Racemaster bonds with his drones in a flurry of super-speed that Combatmaster cannot stop. Declaring that offense is not the way to fight, Racemaster beats a tactical retreat, easily dodging the fire from Combatmaster's drones and disappeared into the distance.
