Drag Strip (G1)
From MediaWiki
- Dragstrip is a Decepticon and a Stunticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Drag Strip has never heard of the term "graceful in victory". He doesn't just like to win, he loves it. Drag Strip would sooner die a miserable death than ever sacrifice a victory, as he thrives on the bragging rights which accompany first place. He can't keep himself from stroking his own ego and bragging about his accomplishments in excruciating detail.
The other Decepticons, Megatron included, hate his guts and would gladly pummel him to scrap if it weren't for the fact that his insatiable lust for victory makes him a formidable foe against the Autobots.
Dragstrip can combine with his fellow Stunticons to form Menasor.

- Drag Strip transforms into a Tyrell P-34 Six-Wheeler race car. He comes with a purple double-barreled plasma energy cannon that attaches to the back of his vehicle mode.
- In robot mode he is armed with a small purple laser pistol. Since he was designed with the Scramble City-style cobination, he can form the arm or leg to any similarly-constructed robot combination, though his nominal placement is as the left arm to Menasor.
Unreleased
- Drag Strip and the other Stunticons were planned to be redecoed for Generation 2; Drag Strip was to be mainly black with blue accents. However, the Stunticons --and their "rival" set the Protectobots-- were cancelled before they could go into full production. A handful of production samples were made, though less than a half-dozen of each limb are known to exist (with the obvious exception of the BotCon 1995 Breakdown, of course), and as such demand muy bucko on the secondary market.
