Detour

Detour is a Decepticon Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Little. Yellow. Evil.

Detour is the voice of reason in the Sports Car Patrol. He's not a coward, he's just terribly vain and doesn't want to see himself damaged. When he starts saying the odds are too stacked against the patrol, Blackjack respects this.

After Megatron began rebuilding his power base on Cybertron, Detour and the Sports Car Patrol were some of his first recruits. Using the trans-time dimensional portal, Detour participated in the infiltration of the Ark, joining his fellow Micromasters in tricking the ship's medic, Ratchet, into believing they were Autobots on their way back to Cybertron. They were able to fool Ratchet long enough to take him prisoner at Megatron's base on Cybertron. Back from the Dead! When Ratchet eventually outsmarted Megatron and reactivated his buddies (Jazz, Grimlock, and Bumblebee), Detour and the other henchmen had a running battle with the Autobots which took them outside the base and, luckily, out of range of the massive explosion which leveled the entire complex. The Sports Car Patrol presumably survived, but were never seen again. Skin Deep
