- Roadburner is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Roadburner is driven to rescue everyone, and won't give up until all hope is lost. Unfortunately, the inevitable loss of life in wartime weighs heavily on his spark.
It doesn't help that his Metro Squad partner, Wheel Blaze, is a well-meaning but overenergetic doof who causes more trouble than he solves, leaving Roadburner to clean up the mess.[1]
Games
Transformers Legends
Roadburner (minus Wheel Blaze) was part of a big fight involving an array of military vehicles. Yep. By Land, Sea, or Air
Two things. First of all, note that Roadburner's altmode features a white Wheel Blaze... mistakenly colored this way because the colorist misread the toy photo below.
Second, it is highly likely that Roadburner being in this thing at all is a mistake, and that it was actually supposed to be Roadbuster in this set. What with the Whirl and the military vehicles and the whatnot.
