Profile: The Throttlebots’ self-appointed comedian. Specialises in insulting jokes, he’ll make fun of even the most highest ranking commanders and occasionally has to be gagged by the other Throttlebots before he lands himself in hot water. Unfortunately he cannot take what he dishes out. Freeway absolutely hates being made fun of and is liable to get exceedingly irritable and even angry when someone makes fun of him. Not the most popular Autobot around but he does works best as a part of a team and is most comfortable around with his fellow Throttlebots who have gotten used to Freeway's sense of humour. He makes use of his skills as a saboteur to also rain havoc with practical jokes. He uses these jokes as a form of blowing off steam from what is a rather stressful job sabotaging Decepticon equipment with often little support. Relies on tricks and dirty tactics in battle instead of brute force. Freeway absolutely despises the idea of a straight fight (often because he tends to lose those) and will usually find some way of bending things in his favour. He much prefers sneaking around behind enemy lines causing mischief than being on frontline combat duty. His boisterous nature can make him a liability on covert missions if he isn't told to shut up soon enough.
Abilities: Freeway’s car radio disguises a sophisticated radio intercept and decoding device. He uses this to pick up enemy radio broadcasts, de-code them and transmit erroneous ones instead to cause maximum confusion amongst the Decepticons. He’s an excellent saboteur, knowing most of the tricks of the trade and inventing a few himself. He’s armed with a plethora of equipment that he can use for a whole range of booby traps and disarming them. While Freeway is not the fastest of the Throttlebots he can still achieve a top speed of 180mph (290kph).
Weaknesses: Lack of strength and firepower means that he can rarely hold is own in a fire fight or hand-to-hand combat, without the aid of his fellow Throttlebots. Freeway has been known at times to laugh so hard at his own jokes that he blows internal circuits and disables himself. This can cause much merriment amongst those Bots who he had just been laughing at.
