Highway (C.O.P.S.)

Highway (Real name: Patrol Officer David Harlson) is a cartoon character in the C.O.P.S. (Central Organization of Police Specialists) series from Hasbro.

Character Profile
Highway is the fastest of the C.O.P.S., a California highway patrol officer for the San Francisco police department, who is the best one ever. Wearing a state patrol uniform with a helmet with visors; he's known to drive his Bluestreak motorcycle extremely fast. In the toy series as well as in the comics, he is seen riding on a air scooter. The air scooter Berserko also rode on to get away from the C.O.P.S. in The Case of The Big Little Green Men. With great skill, Highway is able to gain on the most fastest of criminals out on the roads and nab them before they make a huge getaway. Highway likes to hang around with the female versions of C.O.P.S. and tries to impress them (which usually ends in disaster) in anyway he knows how. In The Case of the Crook with 1000 Faces for example, Highway tries to impress Mirage, but, unfortunetely, that never worked out for him.

Character Highlights
Highway had a hard time catching up with the crooks in The Case of The Blur Bandits when he tries to catch up with Berserko who is dressed up in a special speed suit that allows him to go fast. But he failed to catch Berserko and winds up hydroplaining in the streets on his Bluestreak cycle. Ashamed over his failure, Highway calls it quits and turned in his badge. Bulletproof tries to help him by giving about 2 days off to get over it, but Highway declines saying he has embarrassed the whole organization with his big mouth. "Goodbye, Sir." he said and left the precient. Later on, he was captured by Turbo Tu-Tone who hold him prisoner at his garage. Highway is able to break loose a large beam and Turbo attacks. A fight erupted until Highway notices some container full of ball bearings he spills to the floor after he breaks free of his bonds. Slipping on the bearings, Turbo was easily captured and brought back to the precient where Highway is able to take possession of the speed suit and went on a fast speeding crook-busting spree where Highway is able to place all the crooks partaking in a hugh crime-spree under arrest in record time. In the end, Whitney Morgan interviewed Highway, asking him how did he do what he did. Speed? Skill? "They helped me do it! I'm part of the Team." Highway replied learning a very important lesson on humility.

Highway, in The Case of the Highway Robbery, was pressured into helping Mayor Davis get his limosine back or else he will "park cars for a living!" as Mayor Davis puts it. Big Boss stole Mayor Davis' limosine as part of his scheme to perform car thefts and changed the cars he steals to look exactly like Big Boss' own personal limosine. Highway has to get it back..or else! Eventually, Highway succeeds in doing it and Mayor Davis gave Highway a medal for a job well done.
