Sunrunner (G1)
- Sunrunner is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Sunrunner, as one of the relatively scarce flying Autobots, has a bit of an (ahem) air superiority complex. This does nothing to endear him to his teammates on the Battle Patrol.[1]
Fiction
Marvel UK comics
Aspects of Evil! Sunrunner and Flak were among the Autobots under Rodimus Prime's command when he returned to the future after Galvatron's destruction. Their Battle Patrol were among the 400 Autobots who escaped to Earth with Rodimus.
Sunrunner was a full-size Transformer during Rodimus's return, but a Micromaster by the time of their journey to Earth.
Zone OVA and manga
After the Nine Great Demon Generals have devastated the Planet Zone Base and stolen the Energon Z energy source, Sunrunner and his fellow comrades of the Battle Team board Moonradar’s rocket to chase after them and, with the help of Sunrunner’s radar, track them down somewhere in space and pursuit them to Earth. There, the Battle Team among other Microtransformers faces off against Trypticon and Predaking, only to find themselves again at the receiving end of the beating. Luckily, Sonic Bomber and Dai Atlas arrive just in time and save the day.
Later on, Sunrunner can be seen amongst the crowd cheering and applauding to the newly appointed Autobot Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas. Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!
