Tracks (G1)
Tracks is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity.
Tracks is a little bit of a narcissist, according to his Autobot buddies, and it's hard for him to stay lighthearted and gay under such criticism. He attributes it to jealousy: few Autobots are so well-endowed with a sleek, muscular, and tastefully decorated sports car mode as his.
The truth is, Tracks' armament is considerable. He is able to launch two flaming incendiary missiles from long and durable launcher tubes. These projectiles are heat-seeking, tracing the warmth of unsuspecting Decepticon bodies and striking hard. He is further armed with a black-beam gun, which projects a beam of light-negating radiation, embracing his enemies in darkness, unaware of the Autobot until he strikes from behind, and leaves them moaning on the cold ground!
Tracks can also fly like a butterfly by deploying his secret, hidden wings from their protective closet.
He should be a dangerous opponent, but his concern with preserving his stylish appearance and poor ability to work with fellow Autobots hampers him. Often he simply cruises the metro area alone all night with his special friend Raul, looking for Decepticons worthy of his attentions.
