Fasttrack (G1)

The name or term "Fasttrack" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Fasttrack (disambiguation).

Fasttrack is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Here, Fasttrack shows off the latest in late '70s model kit stylings.

Fasttrack is a semi-autonomous armored interceptor under the control of the Decepticon Scorponok.

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

Nel Yomtov has much to answer for

Fasttrack was among the Decepticons under Scorponok's command. They were ambushed while leading captured Autobots on a death march to the smelting pool. Fasttrack seemed caught off-balance by the attack and was among the first to flee the scene once the retreat was sounded. Ring of Hate!

The comic's mistake-riddled coloring seems to indicate Fasttrack was the fleeing Decepticon Scorponok called a coward after pointing out they were badly outgunned. The robot mode shown was Blot's, however—a mistake also not uncommon in the Headmasters comic.

Fasttrack also participated in the attack on the Nebulan capital of Koraja. Broken Glass!

Toys

Generation 1

"Pardon me, I need to guide a plane down the runway here."

• Scorponok (Headmaster, 1987)

Available only with the large Headmaster Decepticon Scorponok, Fasttrack transforms into a six-wheeled assault buggy. His axles were designed for quick rolling down the main ramp of Scorponok's city mode. Like his animation model below, his two guns can be either hand-held or shoulder mounted.

Fasttrack was redecoed into Black Roritchi.

Generations

War for Cybertron: Earthrise

Hasbro denied the possibility of a Roller Micromaster, but Fasttrack's wheels say otherwise.

• Decepticon Fasttrack (Deluxe, 2020)
  • ID number: WFC-E35
  • Japanese ID number: ER-12
  • Japanese release date: January 20, 2021
  • Accessories: 2 Blasters

Part of the third wave of Earthrise Deluxes, Decepticon Fasttrack is a "Modulator"-styled figure, transforming via part-forming into either a six-wheeled buggy with twin blasters or a staff weapon for his larger partner Scorponok, all based on the original toy, the Guardminder character model, and the "Tyrant Spear" from BlackZarak, with an amusingly short handle. His back piece has an A.I.R. Lock System connection point, which allows him to link up with other toys in the line to form larger fortifications.

His parts can also be used to augment other figures as armor and add-on weapons, similar to the Weaponizers of the prior Siege toyline. This mold was also used to make Black Roritchi.

Fasttrack and his fellow Deluxe wavemates were first found in Singapore before wave 2 was released.

Fasttrack comes with the map piece showing Botropolis.

Notes

"'Inanimate'?! I'll show HIM 'inanimate'!"

• Fasttrack had a character model prepared for "The Rebirth", the mini-series which ended the US Generation 1 cartoon, but never actually appeared. He may have been slated to appear before "Rebirth" was cut from five episodes to three.
• Fasttrack's design was re-used in Super-God Masterforce for the mass-produced drone Transformers, the Guardminders. Fasttrack's coloration was used for the generic ones, while the leader used Black Roritchi's colors.
• Answering a Grim Gram in the UK comics, Grimlock said he did not consider semi-autonomous units like Scamper or Roller to "count" as Transformers; they were considered components of larger Transformers instead.
• The 1987 toy catalogue displayed a green Fasttrack with Scorponok.
