Auggie Cahnay is a human character in the Generation 1 and Robots in Disguise continuities.
Auggie Cahnay isn't just a professional asshole, he's a world class asshole. His bad attitude, reckless disregard for others and general selfishness earned him the spot of America's top driver. Bluestreak warns that if he doesn't slow down, he won't be able to enjoy his prize money.
But it's not the money that appeals to Auggie (though he'll claim that it is) it's the winning. Auggie Cahnay, moere than anything, wants to proove to the world he's better than anyone else on wheels.
Fiction
Generation 1 Cartoon
Trans-Europe Express Augue Cahnay was lured into entering the inagural run of the Europa 2000 by a million dollar grand prise. In reality, the race was arranged by Megatron to get Auggie's car to Istanbul.
Augie resents learning Autobots will be entering the race with him, unaware they're entering to protect him. (To be fair, Auggie would probably resent it if he did know too, he's nothing if not consistent.)
When he's attacked by the Stunticons, who steal his car, Auggie joins with the Autobot Bluestreak to retrieve it, letting Bluestreak win the race. Auggie fights off the Constructicon Scrapper with a blowtorch, and makes off with his car, leaving the Autobots in trouble.
Much to everyone's surprise, Auggie returns, driving his car off a cliff into Menasor's face, wrecking his car in the proscess. Disgusted to learn the race was a fake, Auggie nonetheless donates the treasure the Decepticons were after to the charity Bluestreak was racing for. But don't think that means Auggie is a nice guy, he's not.
He just doesn't lose to anyone, not even the Decepticons.
Robots in Disguise Cartoon
An alternate-universe incarnation of Cahnay existed in the Robots in Disguise continuum, where his racing exploits were well-known by Koji Onishi. Cahnay spent so much time in his Formula 1 racer he used to joke that it became part of him. Following his death in a crash, his car was put on display in an automotive museum, where it was discovered by the Autobot Skid-Z, who had just arrived from Cybertron and was seeking a vehicle to pattern his alternate mode on. Cahnay's old joke proved to be truer than he knew, however, as Skid-Z scanned the car, neglecting to purge the vehicle of the vast amount of Cahnay's psychotropic energy that had accumulated in it from the amount of time he had spent driving it, and found himself consumed by Cahnay's desire to win at any race he could - specifically, the International Grand Prix, the one major race that Cahnay had never won. When the Autobots got wind of Skid-Z's uncontrollable racing, they determined to save him from himself, putting the brakes on him before he burned himself out, but in the end, it was Skid-Z himelf who was able to overcome his impulse to race with his desire to do the duty of an Autobot and save Optimus Prime from the Predacons.
Auggie's Cars
Symultech Car
Augie's high-tech racer used for his cross-europe race was designed b the leading-edge technology company Symultech. The engine was made of a new energy-resistant alloy Symultech invented, which Megatron wants in order to contain the Pearl of Bahoudin.
Formula 1 Racer
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.
