Trivia
- Fasttrack had a character model prepared for "The Rebirth", the mini-series which ended the US Generation 1 cartoon, but never actually appeared. He may have been slated to appear before "Rebirth" was cut from five episodes to three.
- Fasttrack's design was re-used in Super-God Masterforce for the mass-produced drone Transformers, the Guardminders. Fasttrack's coloration was used for the generic ones, while the leader used Black Rorichi's colors.
- Answering a Grim Gram in the UK comics, Grimlock said he did not consider semi-autonomous units like Scamper or Roller to "count" as Transformers; they were considered components of larger Transformers instead.
- The 1987 toy catalogue displayed a green Fasttrack with Scorponok.
