Run-Over is a Unicron-allied Mini-Con from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Run-Over is one of the personal attendants of Nemesis Prime. Like Nemesis, he appears to be little more than a near-mindless clone (using the Mini-Con Over-Run as a template), whose sole purpose is to destroy. Though weaker than Nemesis, he shares many of the same abilities, including the ability to assume trans-phase mode to repair damage or teleport.<ref>Run-Over profile in More than Meets the Eye: Transformers: Armada #2</ref>

Fiction

[edit]

Linkage

[edit]

Run-Over was used in rifle mode by Nemesis Prime during one of his planet-destroying missions. Linkage Part 11

Dreamwave Armada comic

[edit]

Run-Over existed as a semi-autonomous piece of Nemesis Prime created at the same time as his larger component by Unicron on a barren world. He was perhaps created because of Over-Run's significance to Unicron, but this is only an assumption. When Nemesis Prime was destroyed by the Transformers, there was no sign of Run-Over; he may have reformed, allowing the possibility of Nemesis Prime himself returning.

A redeco of the Mini-Con Over-Run, Armada Run-Over transforms into a Cybertronic spacefighter. As a Mini-Con, he has a "Powerlinx" socket on his vehicle-mode underside which allows him to attach to any toy with a "Powerlinx" style 5 mm post; some toys have special Powerlinx posts that activate/unlock gimmicks when a Mini-Con is attached. He also has a third transformation, forming a rifle that can be held by any toy that uses 5 mm ports to mount accessories.
He was only available with his larger partner Nemesis Prime, released in the eighth and final wave of Armada Super-Cons.
In Japan, Nemesis Prime and Run-Over were only available as a mail-away item from TV Magazine (limited to 5000 pieces) under the names Scourge (a nod to Hasbro's Robots in Disguise Scourge) and Sweep (a nod to the Generation 1 Sweeps, the original Scourge's minions).
As he is gang-molded with Nemesis/Scourge, Sweep in now cast is a flat light gray plastic rather than Over-Run's tan (but still distinct from Over-Run's pearlescent silver base plastic). He also keeps Over-Run's wing stripes (though now in purple), paint operations which the Hasbro Run-Over lost.
The Hasbro version of this toy doubles as the Beast Wars: Uprising character Run-Over.
