Appearance: Road Rage turns into a red sports car with a large flame decal on the hood. In robot mode, she is predominantly red and black with dark blue trim on her shoulders, magna-bomb launchers and wings. Her head is also dark blue with a silver face.

Profile: Road Rage once served as the bodyguard and advisor to some of Cybertron’s most distinguished diplomats. Being well versed in various alien cultures and customs made her ideal for the job. Unfortunately, it would not last. Once the Decepticon uprising had begun and the entirety of the Senate had been assassinated, Road Rage found a new calling with the Autobots where she pledged to avenge the deaths of those she had once safeguarded. Although, she would never admit it, Road Rage partially blamed herself for the senators’ deaths as she felt that she had failed them when they needed her protection the most.

Now, Road Rage primarily serves as ground / air support under Thunderclash's command, occasionally offering advice to her superior when he asks for it. Normally, she’s a very cheerful and obliging femme, friendly to all of her comrades. However, a chronic glitch in her vehicle mode’s navigational system forces her to live up to her name, becoming a snarling, swerving speed machine with little regard, if not utter contempt, for anyone else on the road with her. In fact, most would not even recognize or believe that she’s the same femme that is usually so kind and jovial. Thankfully, the short-out does not exist in either her robot or flight modes and her fellow Autobots are willing to overlook those violent actions due to her excellent abilities in warfare and diplomacy.

Abilities: In vehicular mode, Road Rage can achieve speeds on the ground of up to 280 mph, which only adds to her uncontrollable nature while in this form. Capable of sub-sonic air travel in “flight mode”, allowing her to provide air support when needed. Furthermore, she is equipped with twin magna-bomb launchers that are available for use in all modes along with a plasma discharger that she can wield as a robot and which also attaches to the underside of her flight mode.

Weaknesses: Road Rage’s greatest weakness is the glitch that she suffers from while in car mode, transforming her into an erratic, volatile and narrow-minded hellion on the roadway. This can lead to her making very irrational decisions when on a mission or in the heat of battle which can place both herself and others in danger. Plus, her questionable behavior can be quite embarrassing for her once she reverts back to robot mode.
