Race Track Patrol

This article is about the Micromaster team. For the location in Detroit, see Race Track.

The Race Track Patrol is a team of Decepticon Micromasters from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Clockwise from top left: Ground Hog, Roller Force, Motorhead, Barricade

When the Race Track Patrol is loose, stay off the roads. These fast and furious fiends love nothing more than to make driving as unpleasant as possible for fellow drivers (and each other). When they're not running red lights, sideswiping each other, or mowing down Autobots, they're making money on the side by smoking human street racers. Only the authoritarian leadership of Barricade keeps these speed demons in line, and even he can't stop their demolition derby antics from leading them astray from their missions.

The Race Track Patrol consists of

• abusive team leader Barricade
• high-volume gearhead Ground Hog
• naive rookie Motorhead
• cruel speedster Roller Force

In Japan, the team is led by Motorhead (known as "Motorstar" there) rather than Barricade.

Fiction

Zone story pages

Following Metrotitan's defeat at the hands of Road Fire, the Race Track Patrol were introduced as rivals of the Autobot Micromasters. They were described as being former Autobot Micromasters who defected to the side of the Decepticons, fueling the rivalry. They never actually took part in any battle. Zone Part 9

Notes

• In Japan, the "Race Track Patrol Team" were the only Micro Transformer set to be marketed as Decepticons. They were released as part of the Zone line to serve as minions of Metrotitan... though this seemingly didn't even net them an appearance in the Zone story pages.
