'''Function: Scout'''<br>

{{quote|'''Chase:''' "Hunters drive; targets park."}}
 
Impatient, overeager, usually ten miles down the road before other Throttlebots have shifted into gear. Likes to brag about past exploits and future conquests. Very popular. In car mode, can cruise at 240mph. Excellent vision -- can see long distances in three directions at the same time. Possesses an array of radar dishes positioned under roof in car mode.

'''Function: Saboteur'''<br>
Alt. Mode: Chevrolet Corvette<br>
'''Freeway:''' {{quote|"Words can cut deeper than steel."}}
 
The Throttlebot's self-appointed comedian. Specializes in insulting others, but gets angry when others make fun of him. His car radio intercepts and decodes enemy radio broadcasts, transmits erroneous ones instead. Uses sonic land mines, magnetic homing grenades, rusting agents, etc. for sabotage. At times he laughs so hard at his jokes he blows internal circuits and disables himself.

Alt. Mode: Ford RS200 Rally Car<br>
'''Searchlight:''' {{quote|"Seeing is, by itself, not enough for believing."}}
 
A creature of the night. Cruises the Earth with the curiosity of a cat. Nothing is too insignificant or irrelevant to escape his notice. Quiet, serious; a loner. Top row of headlights equipped with stereoscopic digital video cameras, spectroscopic chemical analyzer, and radiation detector. Bottom lights can produce strobe effect, full color spectrum with blinding 10,000 watt brightness.

'''Function: Tracker'''<br>
Alt. Mode: Jeep CJ-7<br>
'''Rollbar:''' {{quote|"When the going gets tough, the tough get driving!"}}
 
Impulsive, loves to take chances, put his life on the line. Speaks in corny, macho cliches, which unintentionally elicits laughter from the other Throttlebots. Extremely agile in jeep Mode; can go into flips and rolls with very little loss in speed. Has built-in chemical sensors, radiation detectors, audio and video recorders to assist his tracking.
 
==== {{color|red|Wideload (ワイドロード ''waidorōdo'')}} ====
[[File:wideload_169.jpg|frame]]<br>
'''Function: Materials Transport'''<br>
Alt. Mode: "Earth-Mover" Dump Truck<br>
'''Wideload:''' {{quote|"Look good and you'll have the world in your pocket." }}
 
Usually he's so dirty you'd think he sweated grease, but he's a neatness fanatic. Vain and superficial -- judges others on appearances. Uses spare time to work on his polish. Can haul up to 1,000,000 pounds. Uses hands and tires' sensors to find new sources of raw materials. Unusually susceptible to rust, an embarrassment given his pride in his appearance.
