[[Image:|right|250px|thumb|Horn broken, watch for magnabomb. Oh, and finger.]] Road Rage is the bodyguard/advisor of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cybertron_%28planet%29" title="Cybertron (planet)">Cybertron</a> ambassador <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Crosscut_%28Autobot%29" title="Crosscut (Autobot)">Crosscut</a>. <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Female_Transformer" title="Female Transformer">She</a> is well-versed in alien cultures and generally cheerful, making her a very good diplomat. However, a chronic short-out in her vehicle mode causes her to live up to her name; in car mode, she is a snarling, swerving speed machine with little regard —if not utter contempt— for anyone else on the road with her. This is pretty embarrassing for her once she reverts back to robot mode.

transforming into a Corvette Stingray sports car. She also has a third "flight" mode with swing-out wings and add-on thruster-pack/missile launchers.

- Road Rage and Crosscut are notable for being the first "new"
additions to the Generation 1-era cast of characters after the original line ended since the short-lived <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Machine_Wars" title="Machine Wars">Machine Wars</a> series. This also started the general trend toward e-Hobby releases being new characters rather than old characters in new colors.
- Her coloration is based on the original pre-Transformers <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Diaclone" title="Diaclone">Diaclone</a> version of the mold. This mold in these colors was also available as Tracks under the Transformers brand in some European markets in 1985.
