Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

Soon after Caminus entered the Council of Worlds, her team (under Pyra Magna) was sent to Cybertron to search for the remains of Crystal City.

It was Rust Dust that spotted strangers entering the Sea of Rust and alerted Magna. That led to them intervening in a fight between some rando called Arcee and Cityspeaker Windblade herself, with Arcee attempting to destroy the fabled Enigma of Combination. A horrified Rust Dust tried to save the Enigma and in the process, she accidentally turned all her team into the new combiner Victorion!

After a brief rampage, the gestalt separated and Rust Dust suggested they hide the Enigma on Caminus, if Arcee was so worried Starscream would use it. Windblade overrode her, saying they needed to ensure Cybertron and Caminus stayed allies. An Uneventful Night

The Torchbearers opted to stay in the Rust Sea for a time, still learning to control their new powers. The inhabitants of the wasteland soon learned to avoid them. On one occasion, the team appeared to scare off a group of zombified Sweeps. Redemption

They remained in exile until Optimus Prime- seeking answers about what it truly meant to be a Prime, decided to visit the group. Aphelion Merging into Victorion, the Torchbearers tested Optimus's physical and spiritual resolve. Optimus's agnosticism about the Matrix of Leadership prompted Victorion to lay claim to the Matrix and vow to build Optimus into a worthy Prime. Lagrange Presumably she went to Earth with the other Torchbearers, but we've yet to see her there.

Toys

Generations

  • Victorion (Giftset, 2016)
Accessories: Sword
Rust Dust is a redeco of Combiner Wars Groove, and transforms into a motorcycle. She can combine with Pyra Magna, Skyburst, Dustup, Jumpstream, and Stormclash, and forms the chestplate of Victorion.
This mold was also used to make Adventure Override and was retooled into Combiner Wars Wreck-Gar.

Notes

  • Much like Groove in the Combiner Wars miniseries, Rust Dust has the rather unfortunate distinction of being neglected by the artists. She's usually absent from group shots of the Torchbearers, and has only sporadically been seen as Victorion's chest armor, either. Oops?
