| - Rod "Torque" Redline is considered by many as the greatest American spy in the world. Recruited after the Cold War for both his brains and brawn, Torque is a tough-as-nails Detroit muscle car with a mastery of disguises. In his latest deep-cover operation, he obtained vital information about the plot to sabotage the World Grand Prix. So Rod plans a rendezvous with his British counterparts to share his discoveries at the World Grand Prix welcome reception in Tokyo, Japan. But with the bad guys hot on his tailpipe, Rod, after getting beaten up by the lemons, is forced to ditch the intel early and with the first party guest he sees — a rusty American tow truck named Mater. According to Holley Shiftwell, Rod Redline was infiltrated on the Lemons' oil rigs disguised as a Gremlin, after his government discovered the suspicious installations some time before Finn McMissile himself. Rod is the Gremlin that McMissile witnesses expressing curiosity about a camera intended for the World Grand Prix, and questioning Professor Z about it. During his stay, Rod was also able to snap a picture of the mastermind behind the conspiracy. Rod accompanied Professor Z and his henchmen to Tokyo for the World Grand Prix inauguration party, with the intention to exchange info with Finn McMissile. However, unbeknownst to him the Lemons had infiltrated his plan, and he was ambushed by Acer and Grem, who damaged him heavily. When Mater comes across them, Rod surreptitiously passes the device containing the info onto Mater's undercarriage. Mater notices the condition Rod is in, and when he asks if he is okay, Rod simply replies that he is fine, so Mater can leave with the device. After this, Acer and Grem brought Rod to Professor Z in their secret lair, where he was restrained with three Denver boots. He was then pumped with the supposedly clean fuel "Allinol". Professor Z demonstrated, on the agent himself, what happens when cars fueled with Allinol are exposed to an electromagnetic pulse generator disguised as a camera, using it as a form of torture. As Allinol began to react, the lemons demanded to know who Rod passed the intel to, putting up a slideshow of all the cars he made contact with at the Tokyo party. Rod resists, but he has an involuntary reaction at an image of Mater, which Professor Z catches. Rod could only show horror at allowing an oblivious civilian tow truck to become a target, before he was killed from the spontaneous explosion of Allinol. After his engine was blown, his corpse is visible slightly among flames in the reflection of the screen.
