Rapid Run is physically identical to the 2003 Takara reissue version of Raise, transforming into an "Asagiri" Special Express bullet train. He has a "peg" connector tab in the back of his train mode allows him to pull any fellow Micromaster train or footplate-weapon with a "socket" connector. He can form either arm to any Six-team Micromaster combined robot, but his nominal placement is as the left arm of Rail Racer. His connector peg is approximately 5mm wide, making him compatible with Powerlinx ports.

This mold was retooled from Leaf, keeping the robot and arm parts the same, but giving it an entirely new outer train shell.

Like all of the Railbots, he was originally a Kay-Bee stores exclusive, but later made his way to other outlets, most notably drugstores like CVS.

Rapid Run and the rest of the Universe Micromasters were released in the "main" line in Europe (Energon or Cybertron). 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.
