Micromasters designed for speed and immediate response. Speed as a strategic weapon
In the war between Autobots and Decepticons , speed often determines the outcome of a confrontation before it even begins.
- Prevent the setting of traps.
- To force the enemy to disperse.
- Gain an immediate psychological advantage.
The Hot Rod Patrol embodies this philosophy: never give the adversary time to organize.
A different approach from other patrols
Unlike the Off Road Patrol , which specializes in hostile terrain, or the Battle Squad , designed to hold ground, the Hot Rod Patrol prioritizes constant movement.
- Short but repeated interventions.
- No fixed position.
- Immediate withdrawal after objective achieved.
She acts as a catalyst in Autobot operations.
Why the Decepticons seek to eliminate him
The Decepticons know that losing the initiative means losing the battle. The Hot Rod Patrol is therefore often targeted in the early stages of a conflict.
- Rapid ambush attempts.
- High-speed chases.
- Sabotage of Autobot routes.
But catching a patrol that never stops remains a constant challenge.
