After they arrived on Qre, the pair engaged in some racing with Side Burn. When Side Burn's advances were rebuffed by Nightracer, Runamuck suggested giving her some space, but Side Burn followed Runabout's advice to follow her instead.
The two Battlechargers were dispatched to find some personality components, and in the process discovered a stasis hibernation pod which opened to reveal Side Burn. They took the amnesiac Side Burn him back to Jhiaxus, after which they all headed to Nebulos, where Jhiaxus had Runamuck and Runabout kidnap. The information convinced Jhiaxus that this would be the perfect time to rebuild his Cybertronian Empire. He enlisted Runabout and Runamuck in filling him in on what he had missed, and the pair gave him a very amusing, yet sufficiently informative, recollection of the events of the Battle of Autobot City and Cybertron's first contact with Nebulos. Runamuck often forgot this final detail, and would jump off of buildings and cliffs in an effort to take to the air.Īfter having been absent from Cybertron for a very long time, Jhiaxus made a secret return.
Both Battlechargers were also offered a flight mode but turned it down. A short moment later, all four Decepticons were defeated, left brutally embarrassed.Īt some point between various upgrades, the quick-transformation feature from Runamuck's frame was abandoned in order to boost his armament and resistance to harm. But as Runamuck was pressing his foot down on the Quintesson's head, he surprised to learn just how strong his would-be victim's tentacles were. While Jetstorm and Deluge jumped the Autobot, Runabout and Runamuck tortured the Quintesson. Runabout and Runamuck's involvement in the Wings Universe comics produced by the Transformers Collectors Club act as a sequel to the cartoon.Īt some other time, the pair were hanging out with the equally-delinquent pair of Jetstorm and Deluge when a giant Autobot and his Quintesson cohort wandered into their territory. Hiding from the wrath of Galvatron, they were left trapped inside Trypticon when Starscream stole it but managed to disable the giant robot and foil his plan to connect it to Unicron.
#TRANSFORMERS RUNABOUT FULL#
The Battlechargers' only full appearance was in "Ghosts in the Machine" where they, along with Dirge and Thrust, failed to prevent Scourge and Starscream's ghost from stealing one of Trypticon's eyes. (My girlfriend would argue that my brain still works like this today, even though I am a grown man now.Runamuck has a small appearance in the third season episode "Chaos", riding Astrotrain and utilising the Decepticons' newly-discovered death crystal weapons. So, of course I did what I always did when I came across some serious cash in those days, which was usually only around birthdays or the festive season, and that was to speed off to my local toy store to buy Transformers!! Really, that’s how my brain worked when I was a kid. One good day somewhere in the second half of the 1980s’s I found 25 guilders just lying on the pavement (the guilder was the awesome Dutch currency we used to have in the Netherlands, before we got the Euro -) and I just couldn’t believe my luck. Like I said I still remember buying Runabout in late 1986 or early 1987 at my local toy store. Still, I have a soft spot for Runabout, because it was a Transformer that I owned when I was a kid.
This limited the way you could play with the toy, especially in car mode.
Also there was no way to really play with the toy the way I wanted to, because pulling the car back would always inevitably trigger the motor mechanism whether I wanted to or not. In order to be able to transform automatically their transformations were usually relatively simple. Cool, right? Well, a little bit… To tell you the truth I was never really fond of these G1 Transformers with pull back motors.
