Power Run is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Hold still... you have something on your jacket.

Power Run is one cool cat. He may have a starship-sized superiority complex, but he's a smooth talker who makes his network of friends feel like they're as hip as he is. Power Run name-drops his friends at every opportunity when he's with the right people, and his history of clever plans and slick tactics give the higher-ups a reason to respect his recommendations.

Yet beneath it all, Power Run isn't really the snide egomaniac he likes to think he is. Secretly, he worries if the Autobots are doomed to lose–and if Autobots really are inferior like the Decepticons say. In spite of his misgivings, Power Run refuses to give up his convictions, and on the battlefield he's more than happy to use his great strength and arsenal of fire-fighting gear to aid the Metro Squad.<ref>More than Meets the Eye #4</ref>

His combiner partner is Strikedown.


Toys

Generation 1

  • Metro Squad (Micromaster Combiner Squad, 1990)
Power Run transforms into the front half of a white and black hovercraft that he forms with his combiner partner Strikedown. He can, of course, combine with any other Micromaster Combiner to form a new vehicle, as well as connect to any Micromaster Combiner Transport, but he's one of those Micromaster Combiners who don't really fit to anyone but their respective partners. Power Run was only available in a six-pack with his squadmates Strikedown, Oiler, Slide, Roadburner and Wheel Blaze.

Return of Convoy

  • Radar Hover W Team (Micro Trailer Team, 1991)
    • Japanese ID number: C-366
    • Accessories: Micro Trailer #6
In Japan, Power Run came as part of the Radar Hover W Team, with Strikedown, Barrage, and Heave. The toys are identical to their Hasbro releases. The Team also came with a Micro Trailer.

Notes

  • In Dreamwave's More than Meets the Eye profile series, his name is given as "Powerrun", one word. He's also incorrectly depicted as transforming into the entire hovercraft, instead of just the front.

Foreign names

  • Japanese: Power Run (パワーラン Pawā Ran)
  • French: Excès (Canada)
  • Italian: Moloc
