- Roadbuster is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Roadbuster is a powerful and charismatic fighter, usually armed to the teeth, he's an inspiration to other Autobots in combat and a natural leader on any battlefield. Outside of combat though, his natural ease and surety fail him. He simply doesn't know how to handle life out of combat. He becomes the quietest of the Autobots, grows withdrawn and depressed, and is easily bored. He counters this by spending most of his free time between battles either planning for the next one or "demolishing" any random Decepticons he can find. Some Autobots worry about what will become of the heroic and well-loved Roadbuster they know if the war ever ends. Combat truly is his life and without it, he'd might just fade away...
Roadbuster is a member of the elite Wreckers unit in, well, every continuity he's ever appeared in.
- French-Canadian name: Cahot
