Impatient, overeager, usually ten miles down the road before other Throttlebots have shifted into gear.[2] As a warrior, Chase's only outstanding asset is his staunch courage, but it's his attitude that earns him his many friends in the Autobot ranks[3]. As fast as he drives, he talks even faster. He usually dominates the conversation,[4] which only a few mind because of his fantastic storytelling skills. He’s extremely popular among the Autobots.
He is one of the six Throttlebots and he can transform in to a Ferrari Testarossa. In car mode, Chase can reach a cruising speed of 240 mph. He has extremely well developed optical sensors in his head and headlights. He can see an object the size of a tennis ball at two miles and his excellent peripheral vision gives him approximately a 270-degree viewing range. So for example he can see simultaneously in front of him and on both sides. Embedded under his car mode’s roof is an array of small radar dishes that allow him to detect moving objects as small as a toaster from horizon to horizon. He also has the ability to lock in on orbiting satellites and bounce radar signals off of them, which allows him some over-the-horizon radar abilities.[4]
The Throttlebots are among the troops commanded by Rodimus Prime in their attempt to rescue the body of Optimus Prime from the lab of Doctor Mark Morgan. They are infected with the hate plague. [5]
The Throttlebots appeared as a whole team in IDW's Spotlight Metroplex. [6]
