Drag Strip: Speed personified in service of the Decepticons
In the Transformers universe, Drag Strip is the very definition of speed combined with arrogance. An iconic member of the Stunticons and an indispensable component of Menasor , he is distinguished by his obsessive thirst to prove he is the fastest. Where some Decepticons like Soundwave rely on control and strategy, Drag Strip prefers to humiliate his opponents through sheer speed and spectacle.

Drag Strip doesn't just fight for the Decepticon cause, he fights for his ego. Convinced he's the fastest on Cybertron, he never misses an opportunity to boast, even against formidable warriors like Blurr or Springer .
Within the Stunticons, this attitude often creates tension, especially with darker, more disillusioned members like Dead End . But despite his arrogance, Drag Strip remains a fundamental part of the team, capable of executing quick strikes where others fail.
He is the perfect embodiment of the Decepticon who wants to win not through strategy… but through the humiliation of the opponent.
