'''Runabout''' (ラナバウト ''Ranabauto'')  is a Decepticon explosives expert whose favorite strategy is to line the battlefield with remotely detonated bombs ahead of time, then wait for unknowing [[Autobot]]s to stray near them. He secretly looks up to his partner, [[Runamuck (RID)|Runamuck]], and is always blowing up cities so that his junk-loving buddy will have more wreckage to look at.

Upon meeting [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] in a dream, [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] invented a new "base mode" for him to transform into, placing Runabout and [[Override (RID)|Override]] on the base's ramps. {{storylink|TAV21 Optimus Prime Now on Sale!}}

===''Adventure''===
Hired by [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] to acquire parts for his [[Nemesis Prime (RID)|latest project]], Runabout and Runamuck helped [[Lockdown (RID)|Lockdown]] capture [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]], with Runabout placing mines around their hideout in case of intruders. Indeed, a group of Autobots came visiting and triggered the explosives, easily besting Runabout and Runamuck and defeating them using [[Dogfight (RID)|Dogfight]]'s weapon mode. The duo got away with the part, however, and successfully delivered it to Knock Out. {{storylink|Return! The Most Evil Duo}}

: Part of the sixth wave of Takara's ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#TakaraTomy Adventure toyline|Adventure]]'' product (their version of the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)| Robots in Disguise]]'' series), Runabout is a [[redeco]] of [[Blackjack (G1)#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' Legends Class Blackjack]], transforming from a black sports car to robot and back. He's colored in homage to [[Runabout (G1)|Generation 1 Runabout]], who the Blackjack toy was originally designed after. He also features ''six'' Decepticon insignias: one on his vehicle bonnet, one on his chest, two on his robot shoulders, and arms/side doors. He also features ''painted eyes'' on his visor head for original-cartoon accuracy, rather than all-red visor like the original ''Generation 1'' toy.

: Runabout features a scan-badge on his rear-window, which is compatible with TakaraTomy's ''Transformers Adventure'' app. The sticker-badge can be removed easily with no indent underneath if one wishes.

: Undocumented in the instructions, Runabout and his axe can plug into the chest of [[Menasor (G1)#Unite Warriors|''Unite Warriors'' Menasor]] (and the various redecos and [[retool]]ings of that mold).

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Generations 2015]] Adventure'' [[Runamuck (RID)#Toys|Runamuck]], and retooled into ''Generations'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Rodimus]].
