'''Burn Out''' is a [[Velocitron]]ian citizen with designs on public office via her planet's primary "election", the [[Speedia 500]]. She may not be the fastest, or the strongest, but she's got determination, and that's... something.
 
==Fiction==
===2019 IDW continuity===
Burn Out took part in the [[Speedia 500|Speedia]]. {{storylink|Tread & Circuits Part 2}} She evaded [[Mayhem Attack Squad|Mayhem]]'s onslaught, taunting the participants of the ensuing brawl as she did so. Unfortunately she did not win. Didn't even come close, if we're honest. Maybe next time, Burn Out. {{storylink|Tread & Circuits Part 3}}

: ''Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection'' "[[Diaclone]] Universe Burn Out" is a redeco of mainline ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Deluxe Class [[Skids (G1)#Legacy|Skids]] with a new head that closely resembles that of [[Crosscut (Autobot)|Crosscut]], as well as additional red and silver shoulder decals. She transforms into an approximation of a Honda City Turbo, based on the black version of the ''Diaclone'' "No. 9 Honda City Turbo" toy. She comes with the exact same [[Energon]] axe and weapons as Skids.
 
: Burn Out was exclusive to Walmart in the US, with Hasbro Pulse receiving limited quantities of the figure. The Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection went up for pre-order on [[July]] 2022.

==Notes==
[[File:DiacloneSkids.jpg|thumb|250px|''Top row: [[Crosscut (Autobot)|Crosscut]], [[Skids (G1)|Skids]], and Burn Out''<br>''Bottom row: an unnamed red Skids and [[Reboost]]'']]
* Burn Out is based on the black coloration of Honda City Turbo (ホンダ・シティ・ターボ), the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy whose blue version was used to create [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Skids (G1)#Toys|Skids]]. The ''Diaclone'' mech was later characterized as "[[Burn Out (Diaclone)|Burn Out]]", from where this character takes her name.
* The black version of the Honda City Turbo was considered for inclusion in the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1 line]] long enough to be used by Takara in a preliminary 1985 packaging mural.<ref>[https://twitter.com/tfwiki/status/1131664542986133504] Close-up look by @tfwiki on Twitter</ref> (Said mural featured other oddities, such as the red Honda City R which would eventually inspire [[Reboost]].)
* The official product description for ''Legacy'' Burn Out reads "He may not be the fastest, but Burn Out is determined to win the Speedia 500." The use of "he" is obviously an error, as Burn Out was explicitly referred to as a fembot by the Hasbro team throughout the [[Hasbro Pulse]] livestream revealing her new figure, rather straightforwardly mirroring the [[Burn Out (Diaclone)|original ''Timelines'' mech]]'s [[Dia|female pilot]].<ref>[[June 23]], [[2022]]'s [https://youtu.be/u-vNMsLdhXo?t=1468 Hasbro Pulse | Transformers Fanstream] on YouTube, with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Isabella Weiss]], and [[Mark Maher]].</ref>
