TRANSFORMERS: GENERATION 1 (1986) Drag Strip tech spec presented him as the consummate "dirty" racer. He would do anything to win and hates losing. He is also a loudmouth braggart who gloats over his frequent victories. While Megatron can't stand to even look at him, he knows that redirecting his abilities against the Autobots is a better alternative. He combines with his fellow Stunticons to form Menasor . Animated series Drag Strip first appeared with the rest of the Stunticons in the two-part episode ''The Key To Vector Sigma''. Like the other Stunticon s, he was created after Megatron commissioned Rumble to find him some vehicles to be turned into Decepticon warriors, in order to more effectively battle the Autobot s on the roads. Megatron modified the cars so they could transform into remote-controlled robots, and then took them to Vector Sigma so they could be given personalities of their own. Drag Strip had the least screen time of the Stunticons, with not much character development. His role was little more than a foot soldier and a limb for Menasor. In the episode ''Masquerade'', Drag Strip and Dead End are sent by Megatron to steal supplies for his new weapon. While en route to the crater where Megatron was waiting, the Autobots intercept them and take them into custody. In order to discover Megatron's plan, the Autobots disguise themselves as the Stunticons. Mirage is selected to be Drag Strip.
