	:''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Earthrise]]'' "Decepticon Runabout" is, astonishingly, a redeco and new-head retool of his compadre [[Runamuck (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Runamuck]], being one of the final figures revealed for the ''Earthrise'' toyline. Runabout transforms into an 80's sportscar that theoretically resembles a Lotus Esprit X180 with red striping. Like most ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toys, Runabout has 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post\|5 mm]] holes for the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. In order to be accurate to the original toy, there are 5 mm holes at the top of each shoulder to mount his gun, as well as faux wheels at the back of his feet, albeit unpainted. To achieve a proportional chest with the rest of his body, his robot mode chest uses a faux car roof. Unlike Runamuck, only Runabout's faux chest, car roof and backside are painted in his primary color, reducing the risk of paint chipping.		:''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Earthrise]]'' "Decepticon Runabout" (hooray, he finally got his name back!) is, astonishingly, a redeco and new-head retool of his compadre [[Runamuck (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Runamuck]], being one of the final figures revealed for the ''Earthrise'' toyline.

	:Replicating a switcheroo from the Battlechargers' original character models, Runabout includes a gun based on Runamuck's [[friction rifle]]. Unlike ''Earthrise'' Runamuck, however, Runabout ''also'' includes a second gun for a toy-accurate option, based on his own high-energy particle beam rifle. Either gun can be plugged into the top of his vehicle form, any of his 5 mm ports, or combine into a larger rifle. Due to the way each blaster can stack on the other, you can further elongate the weapon by attaching Runamuck's gun too.		:Replicating a switcheroo from the Battlechargers' original character models, Runabout includes a gun based on Runamuck's [[friction rifle]].

	:Part of the first wave of the [[Blokees]] Wheels series of blind-boxed 1/64-scale vehicles, this Runabout model kit is based on a brief scene from [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Infiltration]]'' [[Infiltration issue 2\|issue #2]] where artist [[E. J. Su]] depicted a [[Stealth Force]]-esque partial transformation—however, the details at the rear of the vehicle are instead drawn from [[Runabout (RID)#Toys\|''Adventure'' Runabout]]. While everything else is molded in ABS plastic, the inner body is made out of "2.5x density" Solidex to evoke the feeling of die-cast cars like [[Hot Wheels]]. He uses the same universal Chassis Connector as the rest of the lineup, and his roof and doors can be opened to allow the chase kits' driver figures to sit inside.		:Part of the first wave of the [[Blokees]] Wheels series of blind-boxed 1/64-scale vehicles, this Runabout model kit is based on a brief scene from [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Infiltration]]'' [[Infiltration issue 2\|issue #2]] where artist [[E.

He's easily bored, and this can make him a liability as his covert ops are occasionally botched by his own explosions drawing attention. As he runs, he leaves behind after-images which draw enemy fire, allowing him to dodge some attacks.

			Runabout loves to see things explode, especially if he's the one doing the exploding. There's nothing like a good-sized fireball to bring a smile to his face and he's been known to take distracting detours on missions to simply blow something random up. The truth is, Runabout gets bored easily, and pyrotechnics keep him engaged and entertained, even if it does serve to rather draw attention to himself (on otherwise covert ops). Enemies can sometimes shoot the persistent images he leaves behind, meaning he dodges about a third of every attack.

			Like his fellow Battlecharger, Runamuck, he has one of the fastest rates of mode change in Cybertronian history. {{storylink\|Transformers: Earth Wars\|Runabout Bio}}
