Still, you could never hope to meet a better Autobot, he's extremely devoted to his comrades, especially the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Mini-Con" title="Mini-Con">Mini-Con</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/QuickFire" title="QuickFire">QuickFire</a>.

He transforms into a Mack Truck, an airship, and a robot. His Mini-Con partner QuickFire combines with him in all 3 modes.

Transported to <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Earth" title="Earth">Earth</a> by QuickFire, RipTide reconfigured himself into a Mack truck before falling into <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Stasis_lock" title="Stasis lock">stasis lock</a>, near death. QuickFire was able to control RipTide's body while he attempted to effect the slow repairs needed to resuscitate him.

RipTide finally awakened months later, just as a QuickFire was journeying to Yellowstone National Park to prevent a natural disaster from a fight between the Autobots and the Decepticons.
