![]() They caught up with the Battlechargers as they defaced the Statue of Liberty and defeated them both, dropping their broken bodies into New York Harbor. Stripped of her command in RAAT, she turned to a group of Autobots she had captured led by Blaster, who agreed to let her combine them into a super-Autobot if she would let them go afterwards. They would then encounter the Transformer-hating Circuit Breaker, who attacked them and nearly killed the family the two Battlechargers had been following. Inspired by the youngster, they followed him and his family throughout America, graffiting Mount Rushmore and the Washington Monument on the way. Taking him up on this, the two Battlechargers caused random mayhem, until witnessing a young boy scrawling graffiti. Runabout and Runamuck first appeared in the US Marvel Transformers comics in issue 23 where they responded to Megatron's request to announce a challenge to Optimus Prime in a dramatic fashion. Runamuck is the second Battlecharger, the first being Runabout. "The road is my playpen cars are my toys!" Roger Behr reprises his role as Runabout.Battlechargers, Club exclusives, Predacons.The two hooligans met quick defeat at the hands of her makeshift gestalt, their charred bodies sent plunging into the harbor. There they engaged Circuit Breaker once again, only this time, having been stripped of her command for her actions in their last encounter, she faced them in a giant machine jury-rigged from the Autobots RAAT had captured previously. They escaped, and took a break to learn English (not well, mind you) for their next stop, the Statue of Liberty. RAAT caught up with them in Philadelphia, where Circuit Breaker engaged them in a battle that nearly killed the graffiti-inclined boy. They wrote insults and jokes in a Cybertronian language, thus attracting the attention of RAAT, which had already captured thirteen Autobots. The Battlechargers, impressed by the boy's disregard for authority, began following the family on a road trip through the U.S., defacing any monuments they happened upon (such as Mount Rushmore, the Gateway Arch in St. His dad angrily escorted him back to the station wagon, and their holiday trip resumed. During a break in the mayhem, they rested in a parking lot and saw a defiant youngster expressing his disgust of family vacations through graffiti. The two reckless Decepticons left and promptly ignored their orders, and instead began to raise a bit of random highway havoc. The Battlechargers were summoned to Earth from Cybertron by Megatron, who wanted a dramatic way to announce his challenge to Optimus Prime for a fight to the death. Also like his partner, he is not averse to breaking windows or draping cylinder-wiping paper over the enemy base, or other puerile acts of vandalism. He is equally able to transform quickly, taking about. Runabout is a little faster than Runamuck, with a 185 MPH top speed, but can only go about 550 miles. Unfortunately, he craves destruction so much that it continually distracts him from his assigned duties. To help create these he has a particle beam rifle that shoots a stream of heavy and energetic neutrons. Runabout is very susceptible to boredom.īesides, Runabout loves a good wreck just as well as his crazy comrade, but it's not because he craves to create wreckage-he simply wishes to destroy, and enjoys the spectacle of chaos and big fiery explosions. That said, Runabout usually joins in with whatever mad ideas Runamuck comes up with, just to keep from being bored. Runabout is not the brains of the Battlechargers (they're both pretty much dim-bulbs), but he is much calmer and certainly more articulate than Runamuck, and his presence helps keep the latter's cross-wired mind on task.
