Earthrise marketing material
As the Ark was traveling through space, fuel ran low, thus falling to Optimus Prime to send Autobot Micromasters Fireguard, Roadburner and Windstorm to Micron collect the powerful yet dangerous plasma energy detected by Teletraan I. Decepticon Micromasters Stingracer, Runner, and Motorhead follow them, intending to sabotage their mission and seize the plasma energy for themselves. The Autobots take advantage of the dense population of Micron to hide out until they are ready to take the plasma energy. As Micron is the most secure planet in the universe, the generators for plasma energy are protected enough for both sides to struggle to reach them. The Decepticons make contact with the plasma energy first but the generator overloaded and Stingracer and their buddies were vaporized by the unstable energy.

Generations
- Micron Micromasters (Galactic Odyssey Collection, 2021)
- Part of the Encounter 2 set of the Earthrise Galactic Odyssey Collection, representing Micron, Stingracer is a Decepticon-aligned redeco of Hot Rod Patrol member Trip-Up, and transforms from a robot into a muscle car with an engine blower. They can combine with Windstorm to form a wieldable weapon, but as the duo are from opposing factions this isn't really feasible, at least canonically.
- Notably, the product description for Stingracer explicitly states that their vehicle mode is an homage to Kenner's M.A.S.K. vehicles - specifically, the orange hot rod Stinger.
- Stingracer is part of a six-pack exclusive to Amazon, bundled with Autobots Fireguard, Roadburner, and Windstorm, and fellow Decepticons Runner and Motorhead. Despite being labeled as "Encounter 2" in the Galactic Odyssey Collection, this was the third set to be officially revealed. The reasons for this delay are unknown.
