They speed ahead of the main fighting forces and clear a route for the following ground forces, which basically means to destroy everything in their path. (Why, however, it should be necessary to have four small Micromasters clearing a route for robots like, let's say, Quake, Brawl or Bombshock, surely remains another question...)

All four members of the Sports Car Patrol were among the Micromasters created by the Autobots and Decepticons in a joint venture prior to the Great Shutdown. They were present at the events caused by Skystalker and Skyhopper.
The four did not belong to the Decepticons, but were neutral like most other Micromasters. They also did not seem to form a coherent unit, but rather acted as individuals and did not show any closer relation to their intended teammates than to any other Micromaster.
