Fiction

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

Exhaust frequently has to deal with attacks by anti-smoking activists.

Exhaust was one of many Decepticons in the Kaon gladiator arena to witness Megatron's execution of the corrupt Emirate Xeon, signaling the beginning of their uprising. Exhaust stood right next to a jet-helicopter Decepticon. The War Within #2

Exhaust and the jet-helicopter Decepticon were in Iacon when Starscream's botched mechaforming attempt leveled the city. They were unprepared when Shockwave ordered troops to fall back to Kolkular rather than be destroyed. The War Within #6

Toys

Masterpiece

• Exhaust
  • Japanese ID number: MP-23

Masterpiece Exhaust is a retool of Wheeljack who transforms into an officially-licenced Lancia Stratos into robot and back!

Notes

• Exhaust started out as a Diaclone variant of the toy that would become Wheeljack, featuring a retooled head and a different color scheme with "Marlboor" endorsements. For lack of an official name, the character was for many years known as "Marlboor Wheeljack" until the Masterpiece toy was announced, finally bestowing the name Exhaust on the character.
• The vehicle mode deco is specifically based on one of two Series 5 Stratos racing cars produced, the other being the car on which Wheeljack was based, though Exhaust's deco doesn't strive for the same level of accuracy. The original car on which the deco was based no longer exists as it was destroyed in a fire caused by its overheated engine. Irony!
• Exhaust's deco was also homaged by Prime "Hyperspeed" Wheeljack.
• Exhaust is not the only Decepticon Wheeljack look-alike in the Transformers universe.
