Sin Street, Little Iacon. Trouble hits hot and heavy when the Hot Rod Patrol roll into town. These are the children of violence, who live today as if there's no tomorrow. Hep cats, who learn the naked facts of life too soon. They're jazzed up and power mad! Witness if you dare, the ravaged lives in the adolescent jungles of Cybertron today. They are in your city, your town, your neighborhood. These... are the delinquents.

- Big Daddy, that rockin'est, rollin'est of cats.
- Greaser, the lost boy, child of the streets
- Hubs, the nice kid who'd rather die than be called chicken
- Trip-Up, the bully-boy punk whose courage was a snap-open blade
