- The Straightaway Shootout is an event from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film series continuity family.
Searching Earth for more Decepticons, a squad consisting of Ironhide, Swerve and Mudflap, finally strike gold. Unfortunately they've found two of the nastiest Decepticons — Sparkcrusher, with near-indestructible armor, and Runamuck whose breakneck speed is unmatched. The battle that follows will become known as the Straightaway Shootout.
Toys
Revenge of the Fallen
- Straightaway Shootout (Multi-pack, 2009)
- This five-pack of Legends Class toys was an exclusive at Target in the US and Zellers in Canada, containing five redecos of existing toys, two of which represent entirely new characters.
- Ironhide is represented by a redeco of his 2008 Legends toy, in colors still accurate to his movie appearance, but with a different layout of paint applications. He transforms into a black 2006 GMC Topkick 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck, though this toy has been criticized for its proportions.
- Mudflap is a relatively unchanged version of his original Legends toy, transforming into a Chevy Trax. He has a glossier finish and a sandy spray across his feet.
- Swerve transforms into a red Corvette Stingray concept car. He is a redeco of Sideswipe's toy.
- Sparkcrusher is the odd one out in that he's a redeco of a Generation 1 character from the Universe line — Warpath's Universe toy. He transforms into a green Cybertronian tank of entirely made up design, which would be entirely conspicuous on Earth.
- Runamuck transforms into a Pontiac Solstice Custom Hardtop. The toy's simplicity results in his chest bumper ending up on the roof on his vehicle mode. He's a redeco of Jazz's Legends Class toy, sporting colors in homage to Generation 1 Breakdown, which suggests he may at one point have been intended to be Brakedown.
