Rust Dust is a Camien Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
You don't know what hard times are, daddy.

Rust Dust is unbalanced in multiple senses. She's a wobbly enough as a motorcycle that her teammates wonder how she stays on two wheels and she's got hair trigger reflexes that send her racing off at the merest possibility of an enemy. Often she's as likely to be racing into danger as out of it, but to Rust Dust's line of thinking a moving target is just harder to hit and if she leads her friends on a wild turbofox chase... again... well there are worse things.

She can combine with her fellow Torchbearers to form Victorion.

Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

DanananadaDADA! Dusty POWER!

Soon after Caminus entered the Council of Worlds, her team (under Pyra Magna) was sent to Cybertron to search for the remains of Crystal City.

It was Rust Dust that spotted strangers entering the Sea of Rust and alerted Magna. That led to them intervening in a fight between some rando called Arcee and Cityspeaker Windblade herself, with Arcee attempting to destroy the fabled Enigma of Combination. A horrified Rust Dust tried to save the Enigma and in the process, she accidentally turned all her team into the new combiner Victorion!

After a brief rampage, the gestalt separated and Rust Dust suggested they hide the Enigma on Caminus, if Arcee was so worried Starscream would use it. Windblade overrode her, saying they needed to ensure Cybertron and Caminus stayed allies. An Uneventful Night

The Torchbearers opted to stay in the Rust Sea for a time, still learning to control their new powers. The inhabitants of the wasteland soon learned to avoid them. On one occasion, the team appeared to scare off a group of zombified Sweeps. Redemption

They remained in exile until Optimus Prime—seeking answers about what it truly meant to be a Prime—decided to visit the group. Aphelion Merging into Victorion, the Torchbearers tested Optimus's physical and spiritual resolve. Optimus's agnosticism about the Matrix of Leadership prompted Victorion to lay claim to the Matrix and vow to build Optimus into a worthy Prime. Lagrange

She went to Earth with the other Torchbearers, remaining out of sight for some time, though she was a part of the combiner when they saved Optimus from a human-built kilsat. Edge of the Earth And again when Victorion went into battle against the human-made combiners, at least until the combiner was forcibly separated thanks to trickery from Galvatron, leaving Rust Dust and her teammates floating at the bottom of the Indian Ocean. It's Beginning To And Back Again Knocked out by the separation, she remained unconscious while the other Autobots figured out how to end Galvatron's control over combiners. As Above...So Below

Generations

There were two bad people... one was John Wayne, and he's dead, brother, and the other's right here.
  • Victorion (Giftset, 2016)
Rust Dust is a redeco of Generations Combiner Wars Groove, and transforms into a motorcycle. She can combine with Pyra Magna, Skyburst, Dust Up, Jumpstream, and Stormclash, and forms the chestplate of Victorion.
This mold was also used to make Adventure Override and was retooled into Combiner Wars Wreck-Gar. It also served as the basis of the non-toy Beast Wars: Uprising character Vampire and the Spatiotemporal Challengers incarnation of Scooter.

Notes

  • Much like Groove in the Combiner Wars miniseries, Rust Dust has the rather unfortunate distinction of being neglected by the artists. She's usually absent from group shots of the Torchbearers, and has only sporadically been seen as Victorion's chest armor, either. Oops?
  • Also much like Groove, when Rust Dust is drawn as part of Victorion, she's drawn upside-down—with the front wheel erroneously pointing down instead of correctly up. She also only appears like this in all stock photography, which probably informs why she's drawn like this.
