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

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.

Detour was one of the many Micromasters created by the Autobots and Decepticons in a joint venture after the launch of the Ark. He could first be seen in a secret nightclub in Little Iacon, where he and Slow Poke threw globs of green slimey stuff at a poster showing Megatron and Optimus Prime. He then witnessed a race between Big Daddy and Roadhandler. The Gray Race Right after the end of the race, the Micromasters - among them Detour - were attacked by the Insecticons and subsequently caught prisoners. Recipe for Hate Like his fellow Micromasters, Detour was freed by Countdown, Groundshaker and the Hot Rod Patrol and partook in the march of the Micromasters to end a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons. He was one of the Micromasters carrying the severed head of Shockwave. Victims of the Revolution
