"Make Tracks" the Transformers, Oct. 30 1985
An episode focusing on Tracks. We'll get to him in a bit, so let's focus on the show first.
The Autobots are helping the NYPD with a stolen car ring. Having busted up one chop shop, Tracks goes off to make a night of it. It's there he runs into Raoul, a punk kid with a knack for car jacking. He ends up stealing Tracks and even disables the single wire that lets him transform.
Raoul fixes him up and when Tracks saves him from the Geddi Brothers, well Tracks just make a friend for life that's what. But who are the Geddi's really working for and why do they need so many stolen cars?
Not bad. Tracks was a fun character and this episode really lets him shine. He's equal parts snooty and sarcastic and like most 80's adventures he finds himself in over his head.
The New York shown here is a bit like most of the portrayals around the same time period, with 500 + cars getting stolen in one night.
