Description
Edit: so went and changed him... quite a bit actually. Added more purple to his body (Thanks woxy and stuki) and yes he dose transform... theoreticallyBio:
Drag Strip, like all the Stunticon's is a rather complicated character. His reputation among the Decepticon ranks is that of a psychotic, arrogant braggart, driven by unrealistic aspirations of absolute perfection. To those who know him closely however, and are willing to dig a little deeper it's revealed that his pathological attitude of superiority conceals actual feelings of deep set inferiority and failure. These insecurities/self loathing, force him to prove himself in even the most menial of tasks, rising to any challenge with a savage determination.
For any who have had the privilege of viewing the Stunticon gestalt dynamic (and that's a very very rare few) it's easy to pin point the root cause of Drag Strip's superiority complex... Motormaster. The barbaric brutal semi takes great pleasure in manipulating and goading his gestalt-mate's insecurities and his relation with Drag Strip is certainly no exception. The racer's defiant nature, his delusions of grander and his possessive protectiveness towards his other three gestalt-mates often brings him into direct confrontation with his brutal leader who reserves no hesitation in belittling and humiliating Drag Strip in the most cruel and sadistic ways possible.
Weapons/Abilities
Drag Strip has above-average strength and intelligence. He is a first-rate racer and determined warrior. His vehicle mode is extremely agile and capable of speeds up to 270 mph. The infamous stunticon forcefields protect him from most light to heavy weaponry. Forms the right arm of Menasor.

Excellent work, Millie! Great presentation and color color choices. He looks kickass in robot form and kickass in car form; what more can one ask of an egomaniacal stunticon?
One little crit; the rims on the car make it look like it's in motion, but the rest of the car looks stationary. IMO, you should just tighten up the rims and have them be still. My old boss was a car nut ([link] ) and taught me that if you make great rims and tires, the car is automatically 60% cooler. I tend to agree.
If portraying tire motion was your intention, you did it very well. But overall, the design might be cooler if you go in and work more detail in that little area. Lots of rim reference on the net.
Again, great job! We're well out of the head garage now!

Speechless...words can't express how I envy your coloring skills.
You're ... Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!
Nice try don't you think?!
The info on his bio intrigues me..."Stunticons Gestalt Dynamics"? Is ita book? Does it contain infos about the other Gestalts?
To be honest...I think I like him now...kinda feel sorry for the guy...reminds me of Slingshot of the Areialbots.

ballisticCow In reply to dGREAT1 [2008-11-01 05:38:33 +0000 UTC]
:Laughing: there is no way I would be able to come up with the correct spelling so you get an A+++
The bio I got from a fellow fan...I am not sure where she got it. Though I have a sneaking suspicion it may be from one of those transformer books I am yet to purchase since she gave me the aerilbots constructicons and stunticons. I'll ask her.
Bravo! Glad you are starting to warm to him. I never noticed the similarities between Drag Strip and Slingshot... interesting.

Very awesome design, with only two crits: I can't see what it turns into (all the movie designs besides Frenzy had at least one part that made it obvious what they turn into, like the car front for a chest, Dragstrip is lacking that (wheels aren't enough)), and the wheel placements is a bit funny and doesn't flow with the rest of the design. Maybe you could put them against those curved things behind his head, and make them point up at a slight angle?
Oh, and the head doesn't fit in colorwise with the body, but it's G1 accurate so mweh.

Thanks for the heads up. I originally based him off classic Mirage's transformation but changed it when I changed the alt mode. now there is a lot more of his alt mode on his bot mode
Thanks for the pointers mate!

One thing though, maybe you could have had more purple on the body to match the head instead of just on top of the legs.
