I have bee-stripes!

The mercenary Rapid Run is among the legions of Decepticons that struck a deal with Unicron to supply him with Energon in exchange for hyper-power.<ref>Energon Decepticon packaging write-up.</ref>

Powerlinxing with the Decepticon Mini-Con Nightscream enables Rapid Run to "disguise" himself as an Autobot. Rapid Run retains his Decepticon allegiance when Powerlinxed to his Autobot Mini-Con partner Nightcruz. However, both are in on his scheme to accumulate wealth and personal power. Rapid Run downloads their datatrax when combined with them so they can calculate the best tactics for their profit-chasing ventures.<ref>Micro-Sized Mini-Con Profile Feature, Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club #14</ref>

Buzz Saw before Buzz Saw was cool.
  • Rapid Run (Combat Class, 2004)
  • Accessories: 2 tailpipe-missiles
A redeco of Armada Sideways, Rapid Run transforms into a Cybertronic motorcycle. In this mode, he can be ridden by his pack-in Mini-Con partners Nightscream and Nightcruz simultaneously, be they separate or in their combined Nightcreeper robot mode. In robot mode, each Mini-Con can plug into the top of his torso (once you slide his head down) to form a new head; pushing their arms through holes in the top slides panels revealing the appropriate faction symbol beneath his chest/windscreen. Plugging a Mini-Con onto the Powerlinx plugs on each of his arms allows his pressure-launch missile tailpipes to be fired.
On top of blatantly not matching the toy itself (see Notes), the stock photos are mistransformed, with the head not pushed into the chest in vehicle mode.
