Note: Dust Devil has probably caused more Autobots to go get showers than he would care to admit. His usefulness was discovered when one of his accidental dust storms saved some of his teammates. Dust Devil's Hover car mode is jet propelled with small rockets allowing for high speed bursts to get him out of danger. His twin side guns, available in both forms, allow him to fire while his fans kick up cover for his teammates. Dust Devil's rotors are what keep him aloft with two main fans for lift, a set of smaller fans in the front and back for propulsion, and side fans for stability. Maneuverability is not a problem for this Autobot.

History
Dust Devil was created by Alpha Trion sometime after Hot Rod. Having spent only a short time on Cybertron, he has kept his optimistic nature. Dust Devil survived by his wits and cunning. He came to Earth when the planets were brought close to each other and stayed there for a while. Serving alongside. Hot Rod, he often got in trouble. The two young robots were good friends during this time, enjoying the earth culture. Dusty could often be seen hovering around or do stunt manuevers. One time he got in trouble and as punishment was sent on a supply run to the Moonbases. It was thought hed have plenty of time to think about his actions. It was a routine run until about midway when the shuttle was attacked by Decepticons. They attempted to fight back and radio for help but they lost weapons and communications early in the fight. The cargo was energon and other supplies. In their attempt to flee the energon was struck. The evacuation signal was given moments before. Dust Devil made it to the escape pods right before the explosion. The blast knocked out electrical systems over a vast area.Devil made it to the escape pods right before the explosion. The blast knocked out electrical systems over a vast area. The shuttle in that period of time while the Decepticons were disabled broke up and a large chunk ended up on a nearby planetoid. The ship crashed through its crust and due to the mineral content of the planetoid was unable to be detected. Once the Decepticons repaired the damage they scanned the area and finding only a large debris field they claimed its destruction as a victory. The Autobots also only found a large area of debris. It was thought everyone aboard perished. Recently a large meteor struck the planetoid exposing parts of the ships. The wreckage of the shuttle and the pod containing the damaged form of Dust Devil is able to be found.
