As a Micromaster, Half-Track was one of the few Builders who were still mobile by the time of the Games and was guarding the Cortex alongside Barrage when Lio Convoy came to visit. Knowing he could never get a rise out of the Maximal, he settled for taunting Barrage with the fact that the Predacons had won the latest Game before scanning Lio Convoy's PROOF and letting him pass.

Generation 1

If I'm Half-Track, shouldn't my combiner partner have the other half of the tracks?

• Battle Squad (Micromaster Combiner Squad, 1990)

Half-Track transforms into a tracked anti-aircraft tank which is intended to be the rear half of a blue anti-aircraft half-track which he forms with his combiner partner Meltdown. He can, of course, be connected by any other Micromaster Combiner.

Half-Track was only available in a six-pack with his squad mates Meltdown, Direct-Hit, Fireshot, Power Punch and Vanquish.

This toy was sold without changes in Japan as the Autobot Half-Track.

Note

• Meltdown and Half-Track are unique among the Micromaster Combiner molds in that as individuals, they actually transform into fully-functional separate vehicles rather than half of a vehicle.
