Hot Rod Patrol

Hot Rod Patrol

The Hot Rod Patrol are a team of four Autobot Micromasters in the Transformers universes. It's members include Big Daddy, Greaser, Hubs and Trip-Up.

Transformers: Generation 1

Each possesses 16 cylinders of carbonic Autobot muscle! High-performance avengers have more rubber-burning speed than the fastest squad of Decepticons. Usually seen cruising up and down Earth beaches and boardwalks. Highly mischievous and adventurous, sometimes mistaken for Decepticon punks. Though preoccupied with fun, still able to quickly respond to emergency roadway situations. Able to spot dangerous Decepticon highway marauders using telescopic, kelvar-energized, localizer radar. Each car is protected by a geometrical shield which deflects decepticon photon disintegration beams. Courage and tenacity are the patrol's finest attributes.

Greaser is the tough-bot of the Hot Rod Patrol. Like the rest of the patrol, Greaser has got a wild streak and a penchant for goofing off when not on duty, but there's also a darker side to him. A criminal record of petty larceny kept Greaser from competing in the sanctioned racing events he loved, forcing him to enter the seedy underworld of Cybertron's racing gangs to indulge in his passion for speed. It was here that he first came up against Barricade, as well as other violent thugs and future Decepticonsm in do-or-die street races. Greaser managed to escape that lifestyle and eventually became a dutiful Autobot soldier, but he's still defensive about his past and sensitive to disparaging remarks about it.

Greaser is the most skilled offensive and defensive driver of the patrol. In vehicle mode, his 16-cylinder Energon-powered engine makes him the second-fastest member of the team, after Big Daddy. He underwent several enhancements during his street racing days that now make effective weapons on the road, including oil slics, shrapnel launchers, and more.

Without proper maintenance, Greaser's oil slick dispenser can leak and affect his brakes' effectiveness.

Hubs

Hubs is the youngest and most inexperienced member of the Hot Rod Patrol, and also the most mischievous and rebellious. He's all speed and no control. Big Daddy and the others in the patrol understand and share Hubs' fun-loving attitude, so they try to keep him focused without being overly condescending. The team is a highly effective and cohesive unit, but Hubs' natural aversion to authority sometimes makes him resent Big Daddy taking charge, no matter how "cool" he is about it.

Hubs possesses slightly above average strength in robot mode. In his vehicle mode, he has great speed and maneuverability. He's got telescopic vision and a ground radar scanner that helps him zoom in on targets when driving or fighting.

Hubs' adventurous antics can lead him into trouble in combat, and he can often overestimate his driving abilities.

Trip-Up

Function: Highway Recon

Trip-Up is the most belligerent and openly combative of the Hot Rod Patrol. He's willing to step up to a challenge, be it a race or a fight; if one of those isn't available, he'll try to instigate something to suit his mood. If the Hot Rod Patrol were a more disciplined unit, Trip-Up would be sorely reprimanded, but the unorthodox Big Daddy lets Trip-Up do whatever he wants as long as it doesn't pose an immediate threat. The on thing Big Daddy and Greaser are concerned about is Trip-Up's potential influence on the impressionable Hubs.

Trip-Up has above-average strength and intelligence, plus extreme endurance. He is a skilled driver, with a powerful 16-cylinder Energon-fueled engine.

Trip-Up lets his aggressive instincts override common sense on a regular basis. He has a problem maintaining his balance when transforming to robot mode at high speed.
