Nel Yomtov has much to answer for
Fasttrack is a semi-autonomous armored interceptor under the control of the Decepticon Scorponok.
Fiction
Marvel Generation 1 comics
Fasttrack was among the Decepticons under Scorponok's command. They were ambushed while leading captured Autobots on a death-march to Polyhex's smelting pool[1]. Fasttrack seemed caught off-balance by the attack, and was among the first to flee the scene once the retreat was sounded. Ring of Hate!
Note: The comic's mistake-riddled coloring seems to indicate Fasttrack was the fleeing Decepticon Scorponok called a coward after pointing out they were badly outgunned. The robot mode shown was Blot's, however—a mistake also not uncommon in the Headmasters comic.
Super-God Masterforce cartoon
An army of Fasttracks, led by Guardminder, worked on a floating Decepticon mega-cannon in space, and defended it from Autobot attackers. Crisis! The Day of the Downfall of Humanity
Toys
Generation 1
- Scorponok with Lord Zarak (Headmaster, 1987)

- Available only with the large Headmaster Decepticon Scorponok, Fasttrack transforms into a six-wheeled assault buggy. His axles were designed for quick rolling down the main ramp of Scorponok's city mode.

Trivia
