'''RUCKUS''' IS A SHOUTING, FIGHTING, CLAMOROUS COLLECTION OF COLLECTED JUNK AND LOOSE BOLTS. A BOLD AND DARING WARRIOR, HE IS TOTALLY DEVOTED TO WINNING AND MAKING A LOT OF LOUD, LOUD NOISE WHILE DOING IT, ESPECIALLY THE NOISY BIT. HE LOVES TO PLUNGE INTO THE THICK OF THINGS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAUSES A GREAT BIG CRASH, AND CARES VERY LITTLE HOW INTACT HIS CHASSIS IS WHEN THE COMMOTION IS OVER. HE MAY BE CRAZY OR JUST ADDICTED TO THE TRANSFORMER EQUIVALENT OF ADRENALINE, BUT WHAT IS CERTAIN IS THAT HE IS TOTALLY LOYAL TO THE DECEPTICON CAUSE, AND EVEN IF HE WERE SMASHED INTO LITTLE PIECES THEY'D EACH BE LOYAL LITTLE PIECES. SURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGE!

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{noteukonly}}
Ruckus was one of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s minions [[Valvolux|since]] the early days of the [[Cybertronian Civil Wars|war]], working with him along with his fellow Triggercons in an attempt to acquire the knowledge and power of the [[Underbase]]. They failed. Spectacularly. {{storylink|The Flames of Boltax!}}

''Many millions of years later, Ruckus and the Triggercons were serving a rather unfulfilling duty under the [[Triumverate]] on Cybertron. When [[Straxus (G1)|Megatron II]] arrived and offered them a better way, they quickly agreed and executed their current leaders. {{storylink|The Fall and Rise of the Decepticon Empire|The Fall and Rise of the Decepticon Empire}} Megatron II was soon disposed of by his predecessor the original Megatron, though, who apparently wasn't interested in claiming the copy's territory on Cybertron as his own. After that, Ruckus began working directly for the [[Decepticon High Council]]. Leading a team of [[Quake (G1)|Quake]], [[Flamefeather]] and his fellow Triggercons to Earth, Ruckus was meant to retrieve [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], an ambitious Decepticon looking to be crowned new leader of the armies. Having been defeated by a small party of Autobots in his previous bid, however, Thunderwing was in no mood to meekly return to the council for instructions. He commandeered Ruckus and his crew for a direct assault on the Ark in order to get revenge for his humiliating defeat. {{storylink|Rage!|Rage!}} It was suicide — a half-dozen Decepticons in a shuttle against dozens of Autobots aboard their flagship, but Ruckus and his crew were forced to go along. After Thunderwing confronted Optimus Prime directly, only to be blasted off by a group of [[Targetmaster|Targetmasters]], Ruckus managed to convince him to put the vendetta on hold, at least for a little while. (And Decepticon politics being what they are, Thunderwing ended up being promoted for his lunacy, anyway). {{storylink|Assault on the Ark!}}''

As Lord Thunderwing rose to power, Ruckus was recruited into the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]]. When the Mayhems learned of a series of Autobot teams being launched into one small cluster of the universe, Thunderwing had them investigate and they learned of the [[Matrix Quest]], which Thunderwing eagerly became involved with. Ruckus had the rather short-sighted idea that the Mayhems were only looking for the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] to destroy it before it fell back into Autobot hands, but Thunderwing was planning to claim its power as his own. Ruckus's disrespect for the Matrix and Thunderwing's quest eventually provoked the Decepticon leader into backhanding Ruckus across the bridge of their ship. After Thunderwing was possessed by the corrupted spirit of the Matrix and cast out of the Ark during his attack on the Autobots, Ruckus and the other Mayhems surrendered peacefully. {{storylink|All Fall Down (issue)|All Fall Down}}

''In 2009, Ruckus and the Triggercons joined [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] in dismantling an Autobot resistance cell. Literally. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}''

===Devil's Due ''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers'' comics===
Ruckus was among [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s forces on Cybertron, and was seen standing around while his commander mocked [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II issue 4}}

===IDW comics continuity===
Ruckus was seen on the rampage when [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s gladiators broke out of [[Kaon]]'s security services and lay siege to the city. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4}}

[[Image:Stormbringer3 NebulousDecepticons2.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Nebulos: It's so yowzah]]
In modern times, Ruckus was a part of the Decepticon infiltration team based on [[Nebulos]] under the command of [[Darkwing]]. He reported on the arrival of [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] to this world, to the Decepticons' horror. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2|Stormbringer issue 2}} As Thunderwing began his mindless devastation of Nebulos, the Decepticon infiltration team moved out in a futile attempt to stop the monster. Ruckus attacked from the ground along with [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]] and [[Skullcruncher]], but was crushed by the giant [[Pretender|monstrosity]]. His corpse was then used to destroy the airborne [[Roadgrabber]]. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 3}}

===''TransTech''===
In the [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]] city of [[Axiom Nexus]], Ruckus, [[Needlenose]] and [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]] assaulted what they thought was an [[Energon (fuel)|energon]] refinery, but it turned out to be a waste fuel storage depot. Eyuw. {{storylink|Around Cybertron}}

*'''Ruckus''' ([[Triggercon]], 1988)

:Ruckus transforms into an indigo and tan [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Baja buggy]]. Like the other [[Triggercon|Triggercons]], Ruckus has a pair of twin flip-out cannons as his focal [[gimmick]]. The cannons are the un[[Chrome|chromed]] gear-deploying style, like those of [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]] and the Autobot [[Triggerbot]] [[Dogfight]]. In vehicle mode, the cannons deploy either side of the driver's cabin, while in his robot form they're mounted atop his shoulders.
