Roadburner

Roadburner is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Some days, you can tell the box artist just phoned it in.

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.

Generation 1

Dear Mobage. This does not mean that Wheel Blaze is ghostly white all over. Thank you.

• Metro Squad (Micromaster Combiner Squad, 1990)

Roadburner transforms into a yellow fire engine trailer which is intended to be the rear half of a complete fire engine that he forms with his combiner partner Wheel Blaze. He can, of course, combine with any other Micromaster Combiner to form a new vehicle, as well as connect to any Micromaster Combiner Transport.

He was only available in a Squad pack with his squadmates Wheel Blaze, Power Run, Oiler, Slide, and Strikedown.
