Auggie Cahnay was a world-famous race car driver tragically killed in a racing accident. He'd won every major race in the world—except theInternational Grand Prix.Koji Onishiwas a huge fan of Auggie.
The AutobotSkid-Zbecame infected with (somewould saypossessed by) Auggie's fierce competitiveness when he scanned his car as the basis for his earth mode.Skid Z's Choice
Auggie's car
Auggie spent so much time in his Formula 1 racer, he bragged the car was almost part of him. After his death, the car was put on display in an automotive museum along with some of his winning gear.
Skid-Zthought it was a shame such a nice car was going to waste as a display piece, and scanned it to use as his Earth vehicle.
Auggie's Formula-1 racer had a gold Autobot symbol on it for some reason.
Notes
- Auggie's suit, helmet, sponsor designs, and colors are rather similar to those of Brazilian Formula 1 driver,Ayrton Senna.Senna also died behind the wheel.
