Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

At some point, Rapidfire was rescued by the time-travelling Necrobot from whatever fate awaited him and was brought to the future after the war. After awaking from his slumber in a stasis capsule, Rapidfire was not happy about a present where the Autobots won the war, and conspired with his fellow Decepticon Fangry in order to make it right. Some Other Cybertron When Fangry got his aft handed to him by the enraged Tailgate for hurting Cyclonus, Rapidfire and two other Decepticons came to his aid but were scared off when the Minibot asked if they wanted a piece of him too, Rapidfire commenting that Fangry wasn't worth it.

Later, Rapidfire (who hadn't bothered to alert anyone Fangry was injured!) watched as Fangry was given surgery and generally acted concerned. He informed the doctors that Tailgate had done the deed. Modes of Production

Notes

• Apart from his face and chest, Rapidfire appears to be modeled on Stockade from the first live-action movie toyline, bearing an SUV alt-mode and all the vehicle kibble hallmarks of a nigh-on identical transformation.
