From MediaWiki
| The name or term "Downshift" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Downshift (disambiguation). |
- Downshift is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Downshift is a cop on the edge. He plays by his own rules, much to the dismay of his commanders. As a security agent, he's often assigned to protect important facilities and people, but his 'intuition' often leads him into hunting down suspects, leaving his charges unguarded. Despite this, he's a highly skilled armed and unarmed combatant, and is extremely devoted to his job...or at least, to how he interprets it.
