Tread Bolt is an Autobot Micromaster jet. When he's not using his stealth to infiltrate Decepticon airspace, he's sneaking up on his fellow Autobot Micromasters. Even though he sees this as "practice", his comrades in the Air Patrol would rather he let his skills lapse—especially when he shows up, uninvited, in their quarters.[1]

Fictional biography

Tread Bolt is a ghost. Though he is an aerial ace, his real talent lies in stealth. Special sensor-refractive armor renders him invisible to all but the most sophisticated detection technology. Silent, super-precise lasers let him take out enemy spotters before they can shout a warning. More than a few Decepticons have been blown to pieces before they ever even heard him coming. He has alienated a lot of his fellow Autobots, because when he's not sneaking up on Decepticons, he creeps around scaring the heck out of anyone he can find.
