Getaway
- Getaway is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Getaway is an escape artist without compair. He's cool-headed and logical under even the craziest, most dire circumstances and that lets him figure his way out of even the trickiest surprise or sneek attack. His reputation for cool-headed escapes is legendary, dating all the way back to the infamous Armornecking Incident on Cybertron. His Nebulan Powermaster partner is Rev.
Getaway has an escape kit concealed within a hidden compartment in his heel that he can reach even when bound.[1]
- French-Canadian name: Fugitif
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity.
Generation 1
Getaway made scattered appearances during the second half of the run of Marvel's G1 comics.
Getaway was captured by the Decepticons aboard Scorponok's orbiting spacecraft where both he and Rev were imprisoned in energy manacles and throw in the brig. Getaway, who had added a credit card (probably a Blackrock card) to his escape kit after hearing stories about humans using them to open locks, used the card to block one of the Energy Bars, which were tuned to fry metal, not plastic. Contorting his body, he hooked his shoulder wing through the gap he had created and touched the controls to shut off the beams.
Getaway retrieved the floppy disk the Decepticons had stolen and attempted to convince the A.B.C. missile computer not to launch a Decepticon smart bomb, unsuccessfully, before stealing an escape pod and returning to Earth. Though Getaway did not realize it at the time, His actions would indirectly save Optimus Prime's life.Prime Bomb!
Getaway was apparently killed during the Decepticons' assault on Klo, though presumably he would have almost immediately have been revived by the Last Autobot.
Dreamwave Comics continuity
Getaway had a prominent supporting role in Dreamwave's regrettably unfinished The War Within: The Age of Wrath.
