Dragstor is a fictional character from the Masters of the Universe toyline. A member of the Evil Horde, Dragstor is a cyborg warrior with a wheel built into his chest and an engine on his back, which enables him to transport himself along the ground at super-speed, like a vehicle.
This power renders him the fastest member of the Evil Horde and a highly feared opponent. Some portrayals also suggest the fumes from his engine to be noxious and poisonous.
Character history[]
Mini-comics[]
Dragstor was Etherian peasant who was captured by Hordak and transformed into an evil cyborg. Due to Hordak's modifications, he became one of the fastest beings on Etheria, with a wheel embedded into his chest and an engine on his back[1].
Dragstor later displayed a rebellious attitude, exposed in his rivalry with the newest Horde warrior, Mosquitor. When He-Man asked him "Who's your new friend?", Dragstor replied "Mosquitor... and he's no friend of mine!"[2].
London Editions UK Magazines[]
Dragstor was once an Eternian human named Theydon. He regularly competed in races together with his friend, Doodon. Theydon was one of Eternia's master runners and regularly won his races. While competing in an annual race, Doodon stumbled and fell into quicksand, and Theydon, although leading in the race, sacrificed his victory in favor of saving his friend.
However, immediately afterwards the two were captured by the Evil Horde and taken to Hordak's laboratory, where Hordak turned them both into cyborg warriors to serve him, with Theydon becoming Dragstor and Doodon become Extendar.
Although Theydon was completely brainwashed upon his transformation into Dragstor; Extendar, touched by the way his friend had saved his life, resisted the effects of the brainwashing and escaped from Hordak. He joined the ranks of the Heroic Warriors and vowed to fight on until Dragstor was freed from Hordak's curse. Dragstor was mindlessly loyal to Hordak, with no memory of his human life, and is also highly exuberant and eager to help out in all Hordak's schemes. His loyalty earned him more respect from Hordak, who ionce gave Dragstor the honor of being the first warrior to pilot his new vehicle, the Fright Fighter.
