| The name or term "Hot Rod" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Hot Rod (disambiguation). |
- The Hot Rod Patrol is a team of Autobot Micromasters from the Generation 1 continuity family.
(Left to right: Big Daddy, Trip-Up, Greaser, Hubs)
Sin Street, Little Iacon. Trouble hits hot and heavy when the Hot Rod Patrol roll into town. These are the children of violence, who live today as if there's no tomorrow. Hep cats, who learned the naked facts of life too soon. They're jazzed up and power mad! Witness if you dare, the ravaged lives in the adolescent jungles of Cybertron today. They are in your city, your town, your neighborhood. These... are the delinquents.
The Hot Rod Patrol—the hottest of hot rodders, the cool and the crazy—guys who've got what it takes. Starring:
- Big Daddy, that rockin'est, rollin'est of cats.
- Greaser, the lost boy, child of the streets
- Hubs, the nice kid who'd rather die than be called chicken
- Trip-Up, the bully-boy punk whose courage was a snap-open blade
Fiction
Universe comic
Big Daddy was among the innumerable Transformers who was held captive within Unicron, and escaped in a mass jailbreak. Escape
Dreamwave Generation One continuity
They rebelled, came back, then rebelled again. There was much vacillation, angst, and shooting. Transformers: Micromasters
Commercial appearances
- The Micromaster Hot Rod Patrol were assigned their own semi-animated commercial in 1990. Standing in a rocky canyon, Action Master Jazz encourages Action Master Optimus Prime to "check out the new Hot Rod Patrol." Picking the tiny Detroit-made cars up from off what is perhaps a mesa or cliffside, the towering Optimus remarks that they're a "sharp looking bunch" and wonders if they can transform (for alas he and Jazz can't). One of them replies in the affirmative, stating, "You bet we can! We're Micromasters!" (as opposed to the giant Action Masters), and the team transforms into miniature robotic form. Note that in a shorter version of the commercial Prime tells the viewer to "check out [his] new Micromaster Hot Rod Patrol." Later in the same TV ad, Headmaster Scorponok attacks...
