That said, Runabout usually joins in with whatever mad ideas Runamuck comes up with, just to keep from being bored. Runabout is very susceptible to boredom. |

Unfortunately, he craves destruction so much that it continually distracts him from his assigned duties. |

||
| − | : In this case, the Japanese character is being considered different from the English character, so we only have the Japanese names to go on.

||
| − | ::Well, yeah. I guess what my question really was was "Why are we considering them different characters?" I've been through this whole dealie before with the Headmasters DVD, and I can certainly see the logic in taking such an approach, but it's... are we going to create separate articles for Wipe and Skull, just because they have different names from their American counterparts? The differences that separate them from Mindwipe and Skullcruncher are no greater than those that separate Scorponok from MegaZarak. Of course, I'm a giant hypocrit, since I wouldn't contest this in the case of Fortress, so... yes, I really don't know what my point is. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 19:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC) |

I'm inclined to treat all the Masterforce guys as different characters than their US counterparts, even when they are actually similar, just for the sake of uniformity. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 19:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC) |

Personally, I'm more inclined to go the ''other'' way, and treat them as just being the same characters. If it's worth anything in the consideration, this ''is'' how it was done for the R2 Headmasters DVD. Um, except for Fortress. And that was mostly just based on the wordplay inherent in the name.

The core disparity between the Japanese and English-language notions of "binary-bonding" (in fact, do the former even use that term?) is enough for me to want a split.

- Runabout transforms into a Lotus Turbo Espirit sports car. An autotransformer, he uses a pull-back motor to propel him forward in both car and robot modes, though starting in car mode triggers his transformation to robot after he rolls forward a short distance. His mold is very similar to his partner Runamuck, but it is highly unlikely one is actually a retool of the other since they had simlutaneous production.
Trivia
- Runabout was the inspiration for the Cybertron homage toy Runamuck (trademark issues explain away the name-shift).
