Drag Strip is a crazed, reckless speed freak. So of course someone gave him a weapon that controls one of the fundamental forces of the universe. His gravito-gun boosts the power of gravity itself — any unfortunate caught within its range will be torn to pieces, or crushed like a beer can on a fratboy's forehead.

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

In robot mode, Drag Strip used a gravito-gun that enhanced the gravitational field of a localized area, causing those caught within the field to be crushed or torn apart. Drag Strip's Universe profile

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

As a robot, Drag Strip was armed with a gravito-gun that enhanced or reduced the effects of gravity on a target, either causing them to float away, remain immobile, or tear themselves apart. Drag Strip's More than Meets the Eye profile

Toys

The Transformers

Drag Strip came with a small purple gun, identified as a gravito-gun in his instructions and packaging bio.
Drag Strip was also available as part of a Menasor giftset and in 1990 he was offered as a mail-away by Weetabix breakfast cereal in the UK alongside the Aerialbot Fireflight, and reissued as part of the European/Australian Classics line.
