Drag Strip (G1)

Drag Strip is a Decepticon Stunticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.

One more word out of you, and I'll stomp my alt-mode.

Drag Strip (aka Dragstrip) 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 just loves to bite more than he can chew and can't keep himself from stroking his own ego and bragging about his accomplishments in excruciating detail.

The other Decepticons, Megatron included, hate his metal guts and would gladly pummel him to scrap for being plain obnoxious if it weren't for the fact that his insatiable lust for victory makes him a formidable foe against the Autobots. Not that he cares; they're just jealous.

Drag Strip combines with his fellow Stunticons to form Menasor.

Long before fans, Rumble was inventing his own Toilet-modes for Transformers.

After a failed attempt to steal experimental superfuel from United States military, Megatron realized that while the Decepticons controlled the skies, the Autobots had supremacy on the ground, and so they needed new ground-based warriors who could out-drive and out-fight the Autobots on their terms. Rumble was sent to steal various human vehicles that would be rebuilt into the new Stunticons. In Drag Strip's case, Rumble targeted the winner of a Formula 1 race on national television, which was a bad idea really, as it alerted the Autobots to Megatron's scheme. The Decepticons journeyed to Cybertron, beat the Key to Vector Sigma out of Alpha Trion's possession and ordered the ancient supercomputer to give life to the Stunticons. The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1 Whilst the Autobots were trapped on Cybertron, the Decepticons returned to Earth with the newly awakened Stunticons who began wreaking havoc and damaging the Autobots' good name by attacking the US military base containing the experimental rocket fuel. Eventually, the Autobots returned with the newly built Aerialbots whose combined form Superion defeated the Stunticon combiner Menasor. The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2

Despite this defeat, the Stunticons were the key component in Megatron's elaborate scheme to hold a fake charity race from Paris to Istanbul so he could steal U.S. driver Auggie Cahnay's experimental car which would be melted down to house the powerful Pearl of Bahoudin. One by one, the Stunticons disabled the Autobot participants assigned to protect Cahnay, but the downfall of Megatron's plan came when he ordered the Stunticons to stop going after the remaining Autobots. Together, Cahnay, Bumblebee, Tracks, and Bluestreak defeated Menasor and destroyed the Pearl of Bahoudin. Trans-Europe Express

Where'd he get this head from, anyway?

When Megatron needed additional equipment for his latest secret weapon, he sent the Stunticons out to steal it for him. Drag Strip and Dead End stormed a U.S. military base and scooped up a new experimental generator for their leader. On the way back, Drag Strip kept trying to taunt the disinterested Dead End into racing with him back to base. Their racing was interrupted, though, by the Autobots Tracks and Warpath. Drag Strip was knocked for a loop by Warpath's rapid-fire shells from his turret gun. Brought in to Autobot custody, the Stunticons were held prisoner while Optimus Prime and the Autobots used camouflage paint to disguise themselves as the Stunticons in order to enter Megatron's good graces and learn the purpose of the stolen equipment. Mirage, the Autobots' spy, took Drag Strip's place. The Stunticons did manage to break loose, though, and smashed their way out of the Ark as Menasor and made their rendezvous with Megatron, only to find themselves confronted with a faux Menasor, created by a combination of Mirage's illusions and Windcharger's magnetism. The real Menasor easily broke the delicately bonded "Menasor", but the Autobots had also sabotaged the equipment before handing it over to Megatron. After the super-cannon exploded, the Stunticons fled the battle. Masquerade

Come to Cuba, and let loose your wild side.

When Megatron was infected with Cosmic Rust after a trip to the lost Autobot colony of Antilla, the Stunticons were assigned to capture the Autobot scientist Perceptor, who had developed the powerful anti-corrosion Corrostop. Drag Strip water skiied behind a speedboat driven by Wildrider, allowing him to force Perceptor to back into the waiting Motormaster. After Megatron cured himself and infected the Autobots with the Cosmic Rust, Menasor attacked the Statue of Liberty in New York City with the ancient Lightning Bug heat ray, intent on stopping the Autobots from matter-duplicating more Corrostop from the layer they sprayed on the statue. Superion defeated Menasor and destroyed the Lightning Bug. Cosmic Rust

After Starscream was banished for yet another failed coup, he returned with a powerful new Decepticon team called the Combaticons who were able to outfight Autobot and Decepticon alike. With Megatron needing a trump card, Soundwave attempted to call on the Stunticons to help, but Drag Strip said to tell Megatron to blow it out his exhaust pipe. However, the Stunticons belatedly arrived after the Combaticons' combined form of Bruticus defeated Devastator and forced Megatron to acknowledge Starscream as the new Decepticon leader. Realizing that Starscream would not stop at Megatron, the Stunticons merged into Menasor and disabled Bruticus in one mighty punch. Starscream's Brigade

In the wake of Unicron's attack on Cybertron in the year 2005 and the subsequent Decepticon exile to Chaar in 2006, the Stunticons were reduced to being scavengers, fighting like slaargs with their fellow Decepticons over the few scraps of energon they had. This changed when Cyclonus brought news of Galvatron's survival, and the Stunticons were among the first to donate their few remaining energon supplies to help revive their leader and give the Decepticons purpose. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1 However, while Cyclonus and the Sweeps were resurrecting Galvatron, the Quintessons arrived on Chaar with an offer of energon in exchange for attacking the Autobots. Drag Strip was among those who were incredulous at their offer... but the Stunticons were instrumental in convincing the other Decepticons to go along with the Quintessons. Drag Strip was the very first Decepticon to board the Quintesson ship when ordered. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3 After Galvatron returned to seize control of the Decepticons, the Stunticons were part of the Decepticon team attacking the Autobots on Earth. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5

When the Decepticons took up arms in Europe, Drag Strip and the Stunticons were part of the troops Galvatron maintained out of their mobile headquarters, Trypticon. They joined forces to battle Defensor as Menasor. Later, the Stunticons were diverted away from Trypticon by Rodimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, allowing the Witwickys to sneak inside and steal the city-bot's transforming cog. As diversions go, it was a good one—the Stunticons were beaten senseless by the two Autobot leaders, and were in no position to pursue the thieves. Galvatron expressed his disgust with their performance by punting Drag Strip into a tree. The Ultimate Weapon

Drag Strip made a very brief appearance on Chaar when Scourge used the power of the Matrix to temporarily wrest control of the Decepticons from Galvatron. The Burden Hardest to Bear Drag Strip and the Stunticons were also among the first Decepticons to be infected by the Hate Plague. The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1

Scramble City

Drag Strip and the Stunticons are summoned by Megatron to put an end to the Scramble City project, and succeed where Starscream had failed. Their first strike was impressive, holding back Optimus Prime and a cadre of Autobots and shooting the Aerialbots out of the skies. When the Aerialbots formed Superion, Drag Strip and his teammates followed suit and merged into Menasor. Scramble City: Mobilization

When Vector Sigma began perfecting the new super-metal Cybertonuron on Cybertron, Galvatron ordered another all-out attack on the planet to seize the metal for the Decepticons before the Autobots could make use of it. Drag Strip and the Stunticons journeyed to Cybertron with the strike force, and confronted their old enemies, the Aerialbots. The Aerialbots got the drop on Drag Strip's group by forming Superion and lashing out before the Stunticons could form Menasor as well.

He and his team merged into Menasor in order to battle alongside Bruticus and Devastator against their Autobot counterparts Superion, Defensor and Omega Supreme. The fight was fairly evenly matched until Galvatron called up his ace-in-the-hole, Predaking, whose power was unmatched by any of the Autobots... except for the Omnibots, who essentially tied Predaking's shoelaces together until he fell over, straight into Menasor and his chums, sending them all toppling to the ground and knocking them to bits.

The Decepticons constructed a new weapon to pursue their energy-plundering campaign on Earth, the Omega Wave Cannon. With the device at the ready, the Stunticons headed out to retrieve some energy from a power plant. They were met with the Aerialbots, and both teams combined into the gestalt forms. As they battled, Menasor made great use of his modular nature, having his Stunticon components swap between being arms and legs. Atop of this, Superion was crippled by the Omega Wave Cannon, giving the Decepticons the advantage. But the Autobots turned the tide of the battle by sending out massive amounts of reinforcements into the field, and the Decepticons were sent packing. Full Throttle Scramble Power!

Marvel Comics continuity

Marvel The Transformers comics

Drag Strip and the Stunticons, along with the other Special Teams, were first conceived within Buster Witwicky's mind shortly after the human had relinquished control of the Creation Matrix to Optimus Prime. Together, they shared a vision of the Stunticons and Combaticons fighting the Aerialbots and Protectobots at the Pullen Power Plant. The Special Teams Have Arrived Shockwave was able to view this data remotely and prepare for their development. Second Generation!

And thus Drag Strip was born! Oh, and all those blue guys, too, we guess.

Upon learning that the cerebro-shell implanted in Optimus Prime had also granted them access to the powers of the Creation Matrix, Megatron and Soundwave immediately built a team of Decepticons. The new Stunticons, which included Drag Strip, were sent to find the Autobot Skids, who had earned new trust for the Autobots by publicly saving a human. After Drag Strip and the others knocked over every car in their way to get to Skids, they turned to "protect" him from the new Aerialbots, hoping to confuse the public and discredit the Autobots. Drag Strip combined with his fellow Stunticons to form Menasor, and they fought the Aerialbots' Superion. Heavy Traffic!

Drag Strip and the other Stunticons watched in horror as Megatron bludgeoned Motormaster with a boulder for suggesting that he might need their assistance in defeating Optimus Prime. Prey!

Megatron gathered Drag Strip and the rest of the Stunticons before him to escort him in gun mode to Florida, where they would be air-lifted to the Decepticons' new island headquarters. In the wake of the death of Optimus Prime, Megatron's paranoia had grown so great that Drag Strip and the others left their leader behind to deal with a random human truck. Gone but Not Forgotten! After Megatron's apparent demise, Drag Strip stood by while his new commander, Shockwave, spoke to Ratbat on Cybertron about the temporary use of Trypticon on Earth. King of the Hill!

"I was the first one to know your plan sucked, Shockwave!"

Drag Strip was at Shockwave's side when the Decepticon leader ordered his warriors to try and gun down Galvatron as he breached the defenses of their underwater base. However, upon his arrival, Galvatron told the Decepticons that he had only wished to talk, and that Shockwave's decision to meet him with violence had only served to assure they had made a powerful enemy. Drag Strip turned to his leader, utterly unimpressed over how Shockwave had handled the situation. Enemy Action!

During a battle on the Moon between Blaster and Grimlock for command of the combined Earth/Nebulos Autobot forces, recently promoted Decepticon commander Ratbat orchestrated a surprise assault on both groups. Motormaster led Drag Strip and the entire Earth-based Decepticon army from their space-faring Decepticon headquarters. But when Blaster and Grimlock noticed the ambush, they teamed up and turned the tide against the Decepticons. Drag Strip was defeated by a shot from Grimlock's missile launchers, and after many casualties, the Decepticons were forced to retreat. Totaled!

Drag Strip will quickly take your bags up to your room.

Ratbat moved their space-traveling island base back to Earth's seas, where it became a human travel resort to smokescreen the Decepticons' efforts to locate a key to finding the powerful Underbase. Drag Strip was advertised on television as part of the island's smiling welcoming party. The Autobots sent Blaster and Jessie to rescue Buster Witwicky, and Jessie was able to sneak into the Decepticons' base and past Drag Strip and Vortex (who were telling jokes to each other) to find Buster. Though the infiltrators were found out, both were able to escape the Decepticons. The attempt to subdue Blaster resulted in a firefight with him however, spooking many of the human vacationers. Drag Strip saw many of them off the island afterwards. Club Con! After the Decepticons found what they were looking for, Drag Strip was seen escorting Buster Witwicky back to his cell so that Starscream and Ratbat could review the data they had acquired privately. The Flames of Boltax!

"It doesn't matter if we all got here at the same time. All ties go to me."

Back in action on Earth, Drag Strip and his Stunticon partner Dead End began working for a faction of Decepticons led by Megatron. Megatron had created an ozone-warping rocket, designed to trap heat in the atmosphere which could be tapped for a new source of energy, even though it would virtually destroy all life on Earth. Their plan was interrupted by two Autobots, Wheeljack and Prowl. Starting Over! While Wheeljack kept the Stunticons busy, Prowl leapt onto the rocket itself, his weight knocking it off course and causing it to crash before it reached the apex point in the atmosphere it was meant to travel to. Drag Strip and Dead End raced to the crashsite, hoping to retrieve the atmospheric poisons Megatron had loaded it with. At the fallen rocket, however, they ran into Runabout and Runamuck, who were interested in securing the equipment for their commander, Shockwave. The four Decepticons began to tussle, little realizing Prowl had already snuck away and neutralized the canisters. Life in the Slow Lane

Drag Strip attended an Enclave in an attempt to unite the disparate Decepticon factions, but Autobot sabotage ensured that it was unsuccessful by faking an assassination attempt on Megatron. Drag Strip was afterwards swept into a giant brawl between Megatron and Shockwave's troops. The Bad Guy's Ball!

Later on, when the united Decepticon forces attacked the Autobot Earthbase, Drag Strip was seen charging into battle in robot mode for some reason, even though the Battlechargers and his fellow Stunticons were all racing forward in vehicle mode. Their goal was to kill some Autobots, while also distracting them as Starscream looted a human oil tanker in the Gulf of Mexico. Both goals proved fruitless, and the Decepticons were driven off. Divide and Conquer! When the Decepticons needed to kidnap the Autobots' human ally, Irwin Spoon, Drag Strip and the Stunticons ran interference for Motormaster so that he could get away with the human stored inside his cab. Front Line! After Breakdown took himself out of action, though, only Drag Strip and Dead End were left to stop Bumblebee and Tracks from catching up with their leader. The two Stunticons raced up onto the rear bumpers of their foes, only to be caught off guard when the Autobots suddenly broke away, sending the Decepticon cars hurtling into the back wheels of their own boss, Motormaster, knocking all of them off the road. End of the Road!

"Ha!! I punched the old fart first! I win!"

In 2003, Ravage uncovered information about a new city the Autobots were planning to build, and sent the Stunticons out to intercept Kup, who was carrying the schematics to their human allies. Demonstrating patented bullying skills, Drag Strip and the Stunticons ganged up on the wily old Autobot and demanded his lunch money the data disk. Kup was relatively willing to give it up (the disk was, after all, a fake), but Drag Strip still had two of his buddies grab the Autobot's arms so's he could get in a few gutshots for good measure. And, to make a good day even better, a few minutes later Drag Strip and his cronies got to beat up Hot Rod when he tried to stop them! Ark Duty

In 2008 Drag Strip was serving under Shockwave on Cybertron. When the renegade Decepticons Scourge and Cyclonus teamed up with the freelance peacekeeping agent Death's Head to assassinate the Decepticon leader, Soundwave summoned the Stunticons to form Menasor and Drag Strip helped punch through the blast doors that cut them off from the battle. They succeeded but were too late, as Shockwave was already dead and rather than execute them for treason, the Decepticons were forced to accept Cyclonus and Scourge's leadership.

At some point in Cybertron's recent history, the Stunticons were deemed psychotic and too dangerous to function in society, and as a result were placed into perpetual stasis lock inside of a prison facility.

Along with many other Transformers, the Stunticons were transported into Earth's past when Teletran 3 went wild. Ending up in 1930's Chicago, Drag Strip was deactivated and locked into the form of a '30s car, which was fairly sporty for the time but not nearly as fast as his usual race car mode. He and the other Stunticons were briefly used for organized crime by a group of humans, until a group of G.I. Joes and Cobra members showed up to bring them back to the future. As soon as Drag Strip was awakened from his car mode, however, he and his comrades starting chasing after the humans and their Autobot friend. The chase ended when the humans found and activated the lost Motormaster, which allowed all the time-travelers to return to the future. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #2

"So Blurr, you entered this race just to let me beat you? Great! Always happy to meet a fan!"

Before the war, Drag Strip was a professional racer, with over six thousand victories under his belt thanks to his ruthless nature. He got involved with Megatron when the miner-turned-gladiator began to make a name for himself, and as a result, the Autobot Outback tried to assassinate him prior to a race against Blurr.

When Megatron launched his brutal rebellion, Drag Strip participated in the battle of Kaon alongside Dead End, defending themselves against Sentinel Prime and his Apex Armor. Megatron Origin #4 The Stunticons were among the Decepticons that deserted rather than serve under Megatron usurper, Scorponok, becoming robbers on Magmara Nine instead.

A while later, Drag Strip and Wildrider were sent to retrieve Breakdown, the only Stunticon missing from the group. They found him in the hands of Spike Witwicky and began attacking him (after all, he could always be repaired after the human was squished). Spike fought back, puncturing one of Drag Strip's tires, but the Stunticons eventually won and took Breakdown back to their starship-building site. There, they revealed that Swindle had modified them into combiners, and attacked their former Autobot allies in the form of Menasor. Enemies of the System

"What do you mean I didn't come in first in this crowd shot?! You two cheated!"

Swindle's hasty application of the combiner technology did not properly integrate the personalities of the Stunticons, leaving them arguing amongst themselves while combined. The Autobots managed to distract and overwhelm Menasor by targeting his components individually, bringing the gestalt down. Drag Strip and many of his comrades were taken into custody by Skywatch. Earthworks

After a few months in captivity, the Stunticons were broken out by the main Decepticon force once they returned to Earth. Drag Strip watched as Optimus Prime confronted Megatron near the Decepticon base, and was caught in an explosion when Prime suddenly had a satellite dropped on his nemesis. Enemy Mine Megatron then allowed himself to be captured and taken to Cybertron so that his army could follow him using a space bridge, but Bumblebee infiltrated them in an attempt to sabotage the bridge. The Stunticons stayed behind on Earth to kill the little Autobot, only to be knocked out by an electric surge when Bumblebee interrupted the space bridge's power flow, allowing the Autobots to recapture them. The Question

Once the war had ended and the Stunticons had returned to Cybertron, they took up residence in the growing Decepticon ghetto outside of Metroplex. Unwitting pawns in Starscream's scheme, Swindle convinced them that a better life was right around the corner... if they attacked the planet Caminus and pillaged the place.

Realizing they needed a strong ground force, Drag Strip and his kin were created by modifying Earth vehicles with Cybertronian technology, and then bringing them before Vector Sigma to be imbued with the spark of life. The Autobots brought the Aerialbots to life at the same time, and the Decepticons found themselves on the losing side until the Stunticons merged into Menasor. The Decepticons lost nonetheless, though they acquired the key to Vector Sigma as a consolation prize. The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1 Later, Drag Strip participated in a fight on Earth as the Decepticons attempted to use the power of the key to transform Earth into a new Cybertron. Even though he and his fellow Stunticons merged into Menasor, the battle was still lost to the Autobots, and the Decepticons fled. Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2

Even Megatron had trouble controlling the Stunticons. The team went on a crime spree in the back alleys of human cities until they were tracked down and stopped by Prowl and his team. The Thin Blue Line Drag Strip later aided Unicron when the planet-eater attacked Cybertron. 'Til All Are One After Megatron and his men, including Drag Strip, found a Lightning Bug on an old Autobot colony world, they found they'd contracted Cosmic Rust. Back on Earth, they stole corrostop and cured themselves, before inflicting the disease on the Autobots. The Decepticons were unable to stop the Autobots getting a sample of corrostop from the Statue of Liberty and curing themselves, however. Cosmic Rust

Many find the self proclaimed Drag Strip to be a distasteful individual. It's as if his vocal circuits were designed to incessantly irk everyone. Whether it be fighting, racing, or flat out robbery, Drag Strip would deceive his opponent by any means to prevail. Because of his trickery, everyone avoided him. Drag Strip's personality may be perceived as a defect, but to Megatron, this is the type of Decepticon he requires. Of course, other dishonest Cybertronians would seize the opportunity to demonstrate their superiority for trickery, only to cause Drag Strip to go on a rampage.

In battle, Drag Strip wielded a pair of "Shadow Daggers" and the "Lightspeed Cutting Torch". His active skill was "Blademarang":

• Blademarang—Drag Strip throws a dagger that strikes all opponents within the vicinity. Each target receives a DoT tick, which starts off with 260 points of damage, with a 20% increase to every successive tick. If there is more than one opponent, then Drag Strip can throw up to 2 blademarangs. An additional 20% damage will be contributed onto every additional enemy over 5 seconds. Transformers Online ^[1]

Transformers: Earth Wars

I lose, I slag you. I win, I slag you AND rub it in your face, AND get to kick your tailpipe. Eat it Autobots!

Dragstrip secretly arrived on Earth to race some of the local humans. When Hound found out, Dragstrip challenged the Autobots to a race. If they didn't race him, he would kill all the humans on the track at the current moment. Optimus reluctantly accepted the challenge, and sent Mirage and some other Autobot racers. Unfortunately, this left a large number of Autobots missing in the ranks, and Megatron saw this as an opportunity to hit the Autobots hard. Race Day Mayhem Event

Dragstrip meets up with the rest of the Stunticons during the race requesting some backup. Nemesis Prime asked who the new black and red truck who stole his colors was, to which Breakdown replies it was their new recruit. Dragstrip took both Offroad and Breakdown to the track to race. Transformers: Earth Wars

When Dragstrip finally joined the rest of the Stunticons, he started bragging about how he could take on all the Autobots alone and win! Starscream commented on how Dragstrip had more of an ego than he did, while Bludgeon just said he was glad to have Dragstrip on the team, even if he had to tolerate the egomaniac. Dragstrip, Offroad, and Breakdown then planned on how they would get the rest of their team to earth, starting with Dead End. Dragstrip Research

The Transformers

I think my cannon might be affecting my racing profile.

• Drag Strip (Stunticon, 1986/1987/1990)
  • US Team ID number: S4
  • Japanese ID number: D-52
  • Accessories: gravito-gun, plasma-energy blaster, connector

The Transformers Drag Strip transforms into a Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler race car. He comes with a purple double-barreled plasma-energy blaster that attaches to the back of his vehicle mode. In robot mode he is armed with a small purple gravito-gun. His fists do not have peg holes, allowing them to be less obvious in vehicle mode. Because of this, his weapon plugs into the top of his wrist. Since he was designed with the Scramble City-style combination, he can form the arm or leg to any similarly-constructed robot combination, though his nominal placement is as the right arm to Menasor. Due to the difference in his frame construction, Drag Strip is the only Stunticon whose car body faces forwards rather than backwards when used as a combiner leg.

The picture on the right shows his vehicle mistransformed as the silver-chromed piece is supposed to be flipped back to form the engine block part and cover the Decepticon sigil, as shown here.

Drag Strip's stickers are asymmetrical and visibly different from those shown on packaging photos, and several stickers' worth of art are left un-cut and unusable on the sticker sheet. This is believed to be a result of a late-stage change in the placement of his rubsign. It seems that the rubsign was intended to be placed on the left side of the vehicle, with smaller stripe stickers on either side to make space for it, while the longer stripe stickers are used on the right side and the spoiler. Meanwhile, the space for the rubsign was originally covered by a wider stripe sticker.^[2] By carefully repositioning the rubsign and manually cutting the shapes into the unused printed sections of the sticker sheet, you can recreate this original layout if you so wish.

In 1990 Drag Strip was offered as a mail away by the Weetabix Breakfast Cereal in the UK. Aerialbot Fireflight was available in the same offer.

• Menasor (Giftset, 1986)
  • Japanese ID number: D-55
  • Accessories: gravito-gun, plasma-energy blaster, connector

Drag Strip was also available as part of the Menasor giftset. All of the toys in the set are identical to their individually-packaged versions.

• Drag Strip (1990)
  • Accessories: gravito-gun, plasma-energy blaster, connector

Drag Strip and his fellow Stunticons were rereleased without changes as part of the European "gold-box" Classics reissue line in 1990.

Generation 2

Yeah, G2 sure was nothing but neon.

• Drag Strip (Stunticon)
  • Team ID number: S4
  • Accessories: gravito-gun, plasma-energy blaster, connector

For the Generation 2 line, Hasbro intended to release redecoes of the Stunticons in 1994, with Drag Strip being cast in primarily black plastic, with blue accents. Ultimately, however, the toys never went into mass production and remained officially unreleased. Only the four limbs are known to have made it to the sample packaging stage, having turned up in very limited numbers over the years (with the exception of Generation 2 Breakdown, who was available at BotCon 1994 in somewhat larger quantities). All the Generation 2 Stunticons are known to catch high prices on the secondary market.^[3][4][5]

Proceed on your way to oblivion. This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

Universe (2008)

He's got a bit of a yellow streak.

• Decepticon Drag Strip ("Special Edition" Deluxe, 2008)
  • Accessories: front spoiler/gun

Universe Decepticon Drag Strip is a redeco of Classics Mirage. He transforms into a closed-canopy Formula racer concept car. The front "wing" of the car mode detaches to become a handheld weapon. In spite of having clear red plastic in his light piping segment, Drag Strip's light piping gimmick was neutered... with red paint.

Drag Strip suffers from sticky paint around the red cockpit similar to the sticky paint found on most Universe Prowls.

Like the other "Special Edition" figures, Drag Strip comes in a black book box-style packaging with monochrome art. Though initially an Asian/Australian-market exclusive, Drag Strip was made available for purchase in the United States via Hasbro Toy Shop and, bizarrely, at Marshalls stores.

This mold was also used to make the 2007 movie toyline's Fracture, BotCon 2007's Hologram Mirage and BotCon 2013's Machine Wars Mirage.

Construct-Bots

• Dragstrip (Elite Class, 2013)

• Known designers: Andrew Scribner (deco artist)

Construct-Bots "Decepticon Dragstrip" transforms into a formula 1 racecar. He has one of the more convincing alternate modes of the 2013-era Construct-Bots. His front bumper becomes a hand-held blaster.

He is one of the few original series Construct-Bots that doesn't reuse other's parts, nor were his parts used on other figures making him one of the more unique sets.

Bot Shots

Surprisingly not a Mirage repaint.

• Stunticons (Multi-pack, 2013)
  • Number: T008
    • Fist strength: 245
    • Blaster strength: 880
    • Sword strength: 495

A redeco of the Jazz Bot Shot in yellow with red stripes, "Decepticon Dragstrip" automatically transforms between car and robot mode, when a sharp impact is applied to his front end. He was sold in a five-pack with Motorbreath, Dead End, Brake-Neck, and Breakdown.

Kre-O

This smaller more Aerodynamic design improves my chance of winning! Oh yeah!

• Menasor (Micro-Changer Combiner, 2014)
  • Set number: A7308
  • Pieces: 90
  • Accessories: pistol

• Known designers: Ed Masiello (Hasbro)

"Decepticon Dragstrip" is a Kreon included with the Menasor Micro-Changer combiner set, and can be rebuilt from robot to either sports car or Menasor's right arm and part of the torso. His deco is based on the Generation 1 Drag Strip toy, and he wears a grey Hound helmet.

• More information on Drag Strip at TFU.info

• Combiner Robot Mega Pack (3-pack, 2016)
  • Set number: B6425
  • Pieces: 245
  • Accessories: pistol

In 2016, Dollar General stores in the US got a three-pack of Superion, Bruticus, and Menasor that sold for a mere $14. Given the original kits retailed at $10 apiece, wow. While a couple of the Kreons inside had small changes, "Decepticon Dragstrip" was one of the ones identical to his original release.

Combiner Wars

What, not a redeco of Generations Arcee?

• Decepticon Dragstrip (Deluxe Class, 2015)
  • 1 of 5: Menasor
  • Accessories: sword, gun/fist/foot

• Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro)

"Dragstrip" is part of wave one of the Combiner Wars Deluxe Class toys and transforms from an Indianapolis-style Dallara DW12 to robot and back! He can also transform into a limb for any Combiner Wars-style Voyager Class figure or form one of Legends Godbomber's legs but is, of course, intended to be combined with Motormaster, Breakdown, Dead End, Offroad, and Blackjack to create Menasor. He is also officially associated with Galvatronus, Ultra Prime, and Scourge Grand Prime as well as being used with Superion due to Air Raid not being part of wave one. Dragstrip comes with a collector card featuring art from the episode "The Thin Blue Line" of Transformers Legends.

While the instructions have the spoiler in the proper position for the leg mode, they never actually show it pivoting up. Missing this step will result in a combiner with one leg slightly longer than the other, which will result in a lopsided stature unless another deluxe combiner with a spoiler-mounted peghole (such as Breakdown) is used as the other leg. Bear in mind the photo to the right shows the leg incorrectly transformed with the spoiler still down.

Dragstrip's included dagger includes a diagonally-oriented 5mm peg that seemingly serves no purpose, as although he can hold it with the peg, the angle it is molded at causes it to collide with his forearm, and so the peg doesn't go in very far at all. The dagger also has no unobstructive place to mount while Dragstrip is in vehicle mode, causing it to protrude outwards from the vehicle no matter where it attaches.

As a part of the first and second wave promotion in Hasbro's Asian markets, a free sticker sheet for the Aerialbots and Stunticons was given out when purchasing any four Deluxe Class toys from those waves. As such, Dragstrip was given Generation 1 toy-esque stickers for the owner to apply if they wanted.^[6]

Though designated for release in the first quarter of 2015, Dragstrip's wave reached U.S. store shelves in late 2014.

This mold was retooled into Mirage. Two years later, the mold's wheels and Combiner joint would be reused for Power of the Primes Jazz.

• More information on Combiner Wars Dragstrip at TFU.info

Dragstrip tries to increase his "emo" level by wearing a black leather jacket over a tacky yellow shirt. Should've just stuck with the bleeding optics.

• Menasor (Collection Pack, 2015)
  • Accessories: Sword, Stunticon weapons/extremities

A redeco of the above Combiner Wars mold, this Drag Strip is based on his cancelled Generation 2 toy. Well, okay, technically, this set is based on somebody's digibash based on somebody's hand-painted recreation of his cancelled Generation 2 toy, including an erroneous purple and silver Breakdown and some other errors. Barring mold issues, the correct G2 deco should've removed the blue stripes down his arms and have them be straight black, the blue stripe on the front of the vehicle mode should be smaller, the spoiler details should have been more visible and the combiner port should have been black.

Unite Warriors

I won a better looking remold from those OTHER Remolds. IN YOUR FACE!!!!

• Menasor (giftset, August 22, 2015)
  • ID number: UW-02
  • Accessories: Sword, hand/foot/gun

• Known designers: Hisao Nishimoto (TakaraTomy)

Takara's Unite Warriors version of "Drag Stripe" is sold in a Menasor gift set which includes the five original "Stuntrons". He has numerous changes in deco to better match his look in the Generation 1 cartoon. Most obviously, he is predominantly bright yellow, has black shoulders to evoke his second set of wheels, has fewer details than the Hasbro version, and the little that remain are red instead of purple. This toy is also officially associated with Grand Scourge.

Legacy

Hang on, how am I supposed to combine with the rest of my team? Wait, what are you- SHEEAAAGH!!!

• Decepticon Dragstrip (Deluxe Class, 2022)

• 1 of 5: Menasor
• TakaraTomy ID number: TL-02
• TakaraTomy release date: July 30, 2022
• Accessories: 2 Gravito-blasters^[7]
• Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro), Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy), Dan Khanna (concept artist)

Part of the first wave of Transformers: Legacy Deluxe Class toys, "Decepticon Dragstrip" is a mostly cartoon-accurate version of the character, except for the shoulder pylons that are formed from the the car's front air dam. He transforms into a close approximation of his Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler race car mode in 17 steps. His accessories include two blasters, which can mount on his race car mode or combine side-by-side into a dual-barrel blaster. Dragstrip is also the only wave 1 Deluxe of the Legacy line to not use any translucent plastic in his construction.

Dragstrip combines with his fellow Legacy Stunticon toys to form Menasor. When Dragstrip is attached to Menasor's right arm, a hidden button on his underside is depressed, releasing a spring-locked latch that allows the figure to split in two at the waist, thereby giving Menasor a full range of elbow motion. As Legacy Menasor is designed with a specific limb configuration in mind, Dragstrip is limited to being Menasor's right arm, as he's incompatible with the tabbing system on the left arm intended for Dead End. Due to this design, Drag Strip is also not compatible with any prior systems of combination.

• Design notes on Legacy Drag Strip from Hasbro designer Mark Maher on Instagram.

Looks like you're going to the Shadowstrip, Jimbo.

• G2 Universe Shadowstrip (Deluxe Class, 2022)

• Accessories: 2 Gravito-blasters
• Known designers: Sam Smith (Hasbro)

Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection "G2 Universe Shadowstrip" is a redeco of the retail Drag Strip release, done in the colors of the cancelled Generation 2 figure from 1994. The differences between the Generation 2 toy and Shadowstrip are the increased usage of gold paint, less usage of blue paint, and golden flag tampographs on his sides. Shadowstrip comes with two blasters, like Dragstrip. Despite not being called out in the instructions, Shadowstrip can still be used for the right arm of Menasor.

While the Transformers team considers Shadowstrip a new character,^[8] Shadowstrip's designer acknowledges that the toy also works as the Generation 2 version of Drag Strip.^[9]

The Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection was exclusive to Walmart in the US, with Hasbro Pulse receiving limited quantities of the figure. The series was a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive in Japan, and a Farmers department store exclusive in New Zealand.

• Accessories: 2 Gravito-blasters

A redeco of the above standard-release Legacy figure, "Decepticon Dragstrip" is based on the original 1986 Generation 1 toy's deco and decals.

Dragstrip was released in a giftset with the other Legacy Stunticons, each done in a toy-accurate deco. This set was revealed at San Diego Comic Con 2023, and went up for preorder as a Hasbro Pulse exclusive on August 1st.
