Hardtop is a spy, tracker and ground-based spotter for the aerial team of Starscream and Thundercracker on Earth. He uses an array of sensors to pinpoint Autobot targets up to 7000 miles away and listen to and record Starscream. Prefers to hang back from the front lines of a fight, he finds pleasure in taking pot shots at Autobots with his long-range laser rifle.

The biography for the Decepticon Hardtop toy states that Hardtop and Bumblebee are old rivals and it was not Megatron which destroyed Bumblebee's ability to speak, but a shot from Hardtop's gun. This, however, is not supported in any given fiction.

According to his extended biography from the Target store exclusive Robo-Vision web site Hardtop came to Earth and uncovered the Witwicky home before any of the other Decepticons, but was unable to attack the Witwickys because Bumblebee found him first and buried under a hundred tons of rubble in the Rocky Mountains.
