Fiction

2001 Robots in Disguise cartoon

Auggie Cahnay was a world-famous race car driver tragically killed in a racing accident. He'd won every major race in the world—except the International Grand Prix. Koji Onishi was a huge fan of Auggie.

The Autobot Skid-Z became infected with (some would say possessed by) Auggie's fierce competitiveness when he scanned his car as the basis for his earth mode. Skid Z's Choice

Auggie's car

Because a big hard man deserves a really small car.

Auggie spent so much time in his Formula 1 racer, he bragged the car was almost part of him. After his death, the car was put on display in an automotive museum along with some of his winning gear.

Skid-Z thought it was a shame such a nice car was going to waste as a display piece, and scanned it to use as his Earth vehicle.

Auggie's Formula-1 racer had a gold Autobot symbol on it for some reason.

Notes

• Auggie's suit, helmet, sponsor designs, and colors are rather similar to those of Brazilian Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna. Senna also died behind the wheel.
