In his specially-modified Seven Deuce Blaster, riot racer "Hyper" Rod is a reprogrammed protocol droid who now focuses on the uncivilized task of eliminating his opponents at the Safa Toma Speedway.

An amalgamation of droid parts, riot racer "Quick-Draw" Quasar has the body of a protocol series droid and the head of a B1 battle bot. Painted with a splash of purple and yellow, he puts his strategic programming to work.

At the Safa Toma riot races, "Steel Claw" Kane routinely works with champion Jet Venim to grab hold of opponents who threaten Venim's pole position. His eponymous gadget is deployed in a maneuver called "The Crunch," violently yanking a second-place racer out of the running.

Perhaps riot racer Flash Raktor gets his nickname, "The Trickster," from the dissonance of his programming and profession. Once a protocol droid, with databanks filled with languages and etiquette rules, Flash has been heavily modified to become a contender at the Safa Toma Speedway.
