		History (Dreamwave comics): Drag Strip was among the Cybertonians who joined Megatron in his Decepticon army and started a civil war with the Autobots.

		Drag Strip has special anti-gravity devices in his body which allow him to drive on any surface, even straight up walls, as well as allow him to make incredible jumps in car mode.
