| Raoul mistook [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] for an ordinary car and attempted to steal the [[Autobot]] for the [[Geddis brothers]], to whom he owed money. He was surprised to discover that his new acquisition could talk, but fixed up Tracks anyway. After Tracks saved the young human from the Geddies brothers, the pair discovered that the brothers were supplying cars to the [[Decepticon]]s' factory in the [[Pine Barrens]]. Raoul was able to repay his debt by rescuing Tracks from being cannibalized for parts, and they were found by [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] before the Decepticons could catch up with them.

| |
| The Autobots soon discovered that the cars were being rebuilt into drones which the Decepticons were using to invade [[New York City]]. Returning to the factory, Raoul attempted to smash it with a crow bar, but was picked up by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. While the Decepticon leader was commanding the Autobots to lay down their weapons or he'd terminate the human, Raoul opened his torso plate and applied spray paint liberally inside.

| | |
| The Decepticons routed, the Autobot forces retired to [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]]'s garage, where Tracks suggested Raoul help un-customise the stolen cars. {{storylink|Make Tracks}}

| Some time later, Raoul and his posse, the "[[Bop Crew]]", were having trouble with some nightclub called the [[Dancitron]]. Pursued by thugs from the club, they were bailed out by Tracks and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], who were investigating Decepticon activity. While the Autobots went to investigate the club, the Bop Crew were taking an elevated train when it went out of control. Fortunately the two Autobots were on hand to save the day, and Tracks and Raoul went back to check out the Dancitron.
| |
| | |
| On the way, they discovered hypnotised people working on a building, something that turned out to be part of a scheme that [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] were cooking up using the totally awesome tunes played at the Dancitron (Those tunes being "[[Cold Slither]]" and big band music, because the Charleston was ''totally'' all the rage in the 80s). Tracks and Raoul reached the club, only to be attacked by both hypnotised humans and the two Decepticons. Raoul quickly discovered the cure for the hypnotizing effects — [[water]] — and tripped the sprinkler systems.

| Following the Decepticon defeat, the Bop Crew requested the use of Blaster to replace their lost boombox. {{storylink|Auto-Bop}}

| |
| * In his second appearance in the show, "Auto-Bop", his skin is a lighter shade than when he first appeared in "Make Tracks". [[Michael Jackson]] Syndrome, anyone?
