- Run-Over is a Unicron-allied Mini-Con from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Run-Over is one of the personal attendants of Nemesis Prime. Like Nemesis, he appears to be little more than a near-mindless clone (using the Mini-Con Over-Run as a template), whose sole purpose is to destroy. Though weaker than Nemesis, he shares many of the same abilities, including the ability to assume trans-phase mode to repair damage or teleport.
Fiction
Linkage
Run-Over was used in rifle mode by Nemesis Prime during one of his planet-destroying missions. Linkage Part 11
Dreamwave Armada comic
Run-Over existed as a semi-autonomous piece of Nemesis Prime created at the same time as his larger component by Unicron on a barren world. He was perhaps created because of Over-Run's significance to Unicron, but this is only an assumption. When Nemesis Prime was destroyed by the Transformers, there was no sign of Run-Over; he may have reformed, allowing the possibility of Nemesis Prime himself returning.

Toys
Armada
- Nemesis Prime with Run-Over (Super-Con, 2003)
- A redeco of the Mini-Con Over-Run, Run-Over transforms into a Cybertronic spacefighter. He also has a third transformation, forming a rifle that can be held by any toy that uses 5mm ports to mount accessories. He was only available with his larger partner Nemesis Prime.
- Scourge with Sweep (Deluxe, 2003)
- In Japan, Nemesis Prime and Run-Over were only available as a mail-away item from Tele-V Magazine (limited to 5000 pieces) under the names Scourge, a nod to Hasbro's Robots in Disguise Scourge, and Sweep. There are a number of small but significant differences between Hasbro and Takara's versions of the toys; the Hasbro version uses a bluer version of off-black and a sandy-tan color rather than the Takara version's more brownish-black and neutral light gray. The Hasbro version also appears to have a larger number of paint applications in a wider variety of colors.
Notes
- Run-Over's Japanese name "Sweep" is a reference to the Sweeps, the minions of Generation 1 Scourge... because Nemesis Prime was named "Scourge" in Japan, after the American name for Black Convoy, the evil black Prime redeco from the 2001 Robots in Disguise franchise. And that, my friends, is the definition of confusing.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Sweep (スウィープ Suwīpu)
