Lift-Ticket is aDiaclone vehicle fromDiaclone or anAutobot from theGeneration 1 continuity family.

"Pay no attention to the man behind the windshield!"

Lift-Ticket is a salvage and mechanical repair specialist, appropriately equipped for rescue and repair operations with a tow cable that can pull several tons over vast distances, while his arms contain powerful servos and hydraulics that can lift twice as much. Highly alert and ever on-guard, Lift-Ticket's wariness helps to make up for the intense focus of his partner, theDiaclone project engineerDarius Cline; more than once, Lift-Ticket has had to pull Cline's attention away from his repairs in order to evade a foe's attack.

Fiction

TransTech

Lift-Ticket was a rescue and repair mech created as part of theDiaclone project and assigned toCline, an accomplished mechanic who was nominated to the project's team of pilots in order to perform repairs and prevent breakdowns in the field. Unlike the duo ofBurn Out andDia, Lift-Ticket's artificial intelligence was not based on Cline's personality, instead being given a cautious and wary personality to complement the methodical and detail-oriented Cline.Timelines Lift-Ticket profile

Crossing dimensions in pursuit of theWaruders, Lift-Ticket/Cline and Burn Out/Dia found themselves stranded onAxiom Nexus. Following a Waruder signal underground, the team bumped into a group of Cybertron's most wanted criminals. Startled, they fled the scene. The groups reconvened as they both wound up within the Waruder hive. Joining forces withC-81's group, as well asGeneral Optimus Prime andSergeant Hound, they did their best to hold the insectoid invaders at bay. During the battle, the Lift-Ticket mech took a severe blow, disabling it. Thankfully, Cline escaped unharmed, and the Waruders were led off-planet thanks to the collaborative efforts of everyone involved.Cybertron's Most Wanted

Masterpiece andMPG toy bios

Following the defeat of the Waruders in Axiom Nexus and due to thephenomenon that fusedDia andBurn Out into a single being.Masterpiece Burn Out bio Darius Cline was sent home alone as a precaution by the TransTech staff. An error caused the damaged Lift-Ticket to get thrown out of the procedure. MultipleSwindles recovered him, repaired him, strengthened him and upgraded his AI with tech from another universe and then put him to work as their universe-hopping salvage and recovery robot. He didn't like it, but used it as a chance to find clues about what happened to Burn Out and to save up money and travel back to his own universe.

During one of his operations inanother world, he drove alongside two cars that he recognized asDecepticons. While he was salvaging, he affirmed that both of them should look elsewhere to commit crimes. The cars revealed themselves to beExhaust andLoudpedal, the former attempting to recruit him to salvage an ancientMellonicus device. Lift-Ticket was aware of the guy's inventions because the Swindles had tried looking for them too. The weapon in question was called theCollapsor Bow, a musical instrument with replicator powers scaled based on how many people were listening, whichMarlboor Dynamic bought, but the ship transporting it had hit an asteroid and was now drifting towards Earth's sun.. Exhaust wanted Loudpedal to play it for an audience of 1.2 million people so that they could replicate a duplicate planet Cybertron for the Decepticons to go live on. Lift-Ticket agreed to help once they revealed that the bow would turn the sun into a black hole if it fell in.MPG Lift-Ticket bio

• Diaclone 2-pack (Souvenir set, 2015)

• Accessories: Towing hook/blaster

Timelines Lift-Ticket is a redeco ofGenerationsThrilling 30 Deluxe ClassHoist, itself a retool ofGenerationsTrailcutter. Lift-Ticket transforms into an off-road truck, and comes with a towing hook that can transform into a blaster and peg via5 mm post onto any of his numerous ports. This figure was available only in an at-show "Diaclone 2-pack" souvenir set withBurn Out atBotCon 2015.

In terms of assembly error, at least a small number of units have his towing hook assembled backwards. This seems most common in ones bought from the Transformers Collector's Club's web shop sales.

The original tooling of this toy also served as the basis of the non-toy charactersGeneration 1 Flatline,Wings Universe Turbofire, andShattered Glass Trailbreaker andLockdown.

Notes

• Lift-Ticket is based on4WD Hi-Lux Wrecker Type (4WD (ダブルディー)ハイラックスレッカータイプ), theDiaclone mecha whose toy mold was used to createGeneration 1Hoist. It goes unstated whether Lift-Ticket's home reality has multiple or only one Wrecker Type mecha.
• Lift-Ticket's name is taken from aG.I. Joe character, asFun Publications also held theG.I. Joe Club license at the time.
• Salvage was a preliminary name for the character in homage to thethe similarly colored Autobot from the 2007 movie toyline,^[1][2] and that name could still be found on BotCon Lift-Ticket's individual polybag.
• Legacy/Generations Selects Lift-Ticket has absolutely no bio information whatsoever. The notion that he's a Cybertronian with a spark is an assumption based pretty much entirely on him having an Autobot insignia emblazoned on his hood.
