Diesel is a third party Transformer homage to Generation 1 Motormaster. He combines with the other four members of the crossfire race (Car Crash), Downforce, Last Chance and T-Bone) team to make 'Intimidator' Later known as M3. He transformers from Lorry with Trailer into the Race team leader and the central torso of M£ with the other members making the limbs.
