Not much is known about Vincent Raider. He's got some nice wheels, which he illegally street races with at night, and harasses Raf, Miko, and Jack by day. That's not exactly the best first impression. There's more to this troublemaker than meets the eye. Corny, but it was true. One fateful night of street racing changed his life, and a certain Autobot set him back on the correct road.

Megatron was close to victory when he learns of Smokescreen and how he once saved him as a newborn sparkling before the Great War until that young Autobot rookie decides to become a Decepticon to try to reform Megatron and find out about his parents and Smokescreen would later learn that Megatron is more than meets the eye as he becomes a father-figure to him.
