He has a flip-down "peg" arm on his train-mode back-end that lets him link up with any of his teammates with a "socket" link-arm. He can form the arm to any Micromaster "Sixteam" combined robot (though he requires the train-mold-team fists), but his nominal placement is as the left arm of [[Rail Racer (Universe)|Rail Racer]]. He was sold only on an individual card.

Rapid Run and the rest of the Universe Micromasters were released in the "main" line in Europe under the Cybertron line. Presumably this is because the Universe line was never released in the European market. Why the Micromasters were the only part of the Universe line to get a European release in unknown, but it probably had something to do with their sub-Basic class size and previously being Japanese-exclusive molds.
