Stakeout (G1)


 * ''Stakeout is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity family.

Stakeout is a Micromaster, and sometimes the leader of the Rescue Patrol.

(Stakeout is one of those characters who are different depending on the continuity. See individual sections below for character information.)

Zone OAV
Stakeout said he wished Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber were around. They promptly appeared.

Stakeout did not then say he wished he had a whole bunch of energon cubes. Ah, well. It probably wouldn't have worked anyway.

Dreamwave Comics continuity
Stakeout is a loose cannon cop on the edge who doesn't play by the rules.

Toys

 * Rescue Patrol (Micromaster Patrol 4-pack, 1989)
 * Stakeout transforms into a black police car. He was sold as part of the Rescue Patrol, along with Fixit, Red Hot, and Seawatch.

Trivia

 * In the Victory anime, Stakeout and Seawatch (who are gang-molded) were consistently drawn and colored as if their black plastic parts had instead been produced in white. (Possibly Takara had plans at one point to release them in these colors, so that Stakeout would more closely resemble a Japanese highway patrol car.  In Zone, however, he was colored to match his toy.
 * Cybertron Strongarm's vehicle mode is based on that of "his hero." Since Strongarm is a black police car, it is possible that this hero is a Unicron Trilogy version of Stakeout.  (On the other hand, it could be that he's just a really big fan of Streetwise.)
