Lori is an adolescent female human who assists the Cybertrons during the search for the Planet Force. Raised in the city, her family recently moved to rural Colorado, a place she hates. While she certainly outshines her friends Bud and Coby in the social arena, she is not perfect, and more often than not, she can be reduced to immature shouting matches with Coby. She has a very intense... rivalry with Coby.

During the battle to save Seibertron from the Grand Black Hole, Lori befriended Nitro Convoy and Flame Convoy, leaders of Speedia and the Animatron. She also quickly developed a deep and abiding hatred of the female Decepticon "floozy" Chromia.
