Dogfight is described as a street fighter of the skyways. He enjoys one-on-one confrontations with his opponents. He is equipped with rear-mounted, fusion-powered blowtorch blasters, which he can use in both jet and robot modes. His sharp wingtips are able to cut through solid steel. He can fly at a max speed of 1,700 mph for 3,000 miles

Marvel Comics

Dogfight debuted with the rest of the Triggerbots in issue #46 "Cash and Car-nage". The Sparkabots and Triggerbots had been held in a Decepticon prison camp by the Firecons. Lord Zarak wanted to test a new weapon that would freeze transformers in vehicle mode. He hires a group of thugs named The Roadjammers to test the weapon on some Autobots. Sizzle, Fizzle and Backstreet sent across the space bridge to Earth to act as guinea pigs.

Dogfight later appears in a flashback in issue #48 "The Flames of Boltax". Decepticon Commander Ratbat had captured two Autobots, Grandslam and Raindance, who had information regarding the Underbase. The video showed a young Optimus Prime accompanied by Backstreet, Dogfight and Override visiting a wise Cybetronian named Boltax. The Decepticons learn from the video that the Underbase was a powerful device which contained information about Cybertron.

Dogfight's most prominent appearance in the U.S. comic was in issue #63 "Kings of the Wild Frontier". This was the second issue of The Matrix Quest mini-series in which both the Autobots and Decepticons are searching for the Creation Matrix. Dogfight and the Triggerbots were sent to search the desert world of Cheyne. There they find several aliens (Vrobians) being attacked by some humanoid villagers. The Autobots weary from the desert climate are invited to rest at the aliens' home. Later the Autobots discover that the hospitable aliens were really psychic vampires who were looking to feed on them. Needless to say they did not find the Matrix there.
