'''Drag Strip''' has plenty to be angry about. Not only did [[Scalpel (Animated)|Scalpel]] protoform her into a weak Autobot body, but she has to take orders from those privileged idiots [[Wildrider (Animated)|Wildrider]] and [[The Motor Master]], and why? Because [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] is ruled by Autobots, not rightfully by Decepticons. Never mind that she plays the stupid damsel-in-distress role in [[Team Stunticon]]s' fake stunt show. That's just adding insult to injury. | |||

| The name or term "Drag Strip" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Drag Strip (disambiguation). |
- Drag Strip is a Decepticon Stunticon from the Animated continuity family (via Timelines).
Drag Strip has plenty to be angry about. Not only did Scalpel protoform her into a weak Autobot body, but she has to take orders from those privileged idiots Wildrider and The Motor Master, and why? Because Cybertron is ruled by Autobots, not rightfully by Decepticons. Never mind that she plays the stupid damsel-in-distress role in Team Stunticons' fake stunt show. That's just adding insult to injury.
So don't be surprised if she takes out that anger on everyone with her laser swords.

Drag Strip was sent, along with the other Stunticons and Toxitron, on a mission to break Megatron and other Decepticons out of Trypticon Prison. In the guise of entertainers, they planned to rig the former Decepticon Gladiatorial Arena in Kaon with explosives, blasting the prison walls open and killing the audience in the process.

Drag Strip reluctantly played the role of a damsel in distress, cornered by three Decepticons, unsuccessfully rescued by Toxitron, but then truly rescued by the appearance of a great big holographic Sentinel Magnus head.

The Stunticons fought back with their stolen modifications, with Dead End and Drag Strip cornering Cheetor.

- Accessories: 2 swords, left & right wings
- A redeco of Deluxe Class Animated Arcee, Drag Strip transforms from a yellow and black robot to a Cybertronic "rocket car." She comes with two wings, which can be attached at the rear of her vehicle mode (or her robot mode back), and two swords, which can be held in her hands or stored securely in shafts in the rear of her vehicle mode (or atop her shoulder kibble). Some have reported, with the Arcee figure, the swords fit loosely, though they are designed to click into place—albeit with a certain amount of fiddling in some cases.
- She was only available as part of the BotCon 2011 box set, which also includes The Motor Master, Wildrider, Breakdown, and Dead End.
- This mold was also the basis for the Japanese-card-reader-game-only Chromia, and was retooled into Animated Minerva.
Notes
[edit]
- Drag Strip was the third character to be revealed for the BotCon 2011 set, on February 10, 2011. Her selection for unveiling as the third Stunticon was determined by a fan vote on multiple Transformers fansites, in which respondents had a choice between Drag Strip or Wildrider. Since everyone was already pretty sure Wildrider would be a Lockdown repaint, but were nowhere near as certain what to expect from Drag Strip, desire to find out led Drag Strip to win out on nearly every site that ran a poll, with the estimated total votes favoring Drag Strip nearly 2 to 1[1].
- Shortly before unveiling Drag Strip, BotCon's Twitter feed published a link to YouTube for the trailer of Kill Bill, which is a movie featuring a kick-ass sword-wielding woman wearing a yellow jumpsuit, and a yellow truck with purple/red detailing known as "The Pussy Wagon".[2]
- While Arcee's character model had already been updated for the third season of the cartoon to look more like her toy, Drag Strip's model goes even further, adding the toy's clip-on wings and the vehicle kibble on her forearms.
- Morgan Lofting's Drag Strip voice sounds like an evil British Commonwealth lady. Think Zarana.
