Fictional biography

Although he exaggerates actual speed capabilities, this Autobot can really burn up the pavement! Always ready to hit the throttle hard and race into battle. Constantly red lines his triple-turbo engine that glows upon reaching excessive temperature parameters. Cools off by ingesting mixture of anti-freeze and oil for catalytic stabilization. Light saber weapon dissolves Decepticon armor faster than ice cream melts on a summertime sidewalk.

Comics

Fun Publications

Road Rocket appears in "A Flash Forward" by Fun Publications. Cliffjumper is assigned to evaluate the powers of the young Autobots who gained powers from forestonite. He tests Firecracker, Electro, Manta Ray, Aquafend, Windbreaker and Road Rocket. Road Rocket demonstrates the ability to teleport.[1]

IDW Publishing

Road Rocket made his first IDW Publishing appearance in the Spotlight issue on Galvatron. Appearing as part of Hound's unit on Cybertron guarding Thunderwing's body, Road Rocket was called upon to contain Galvatron by using his speed to call up a wall of fire around him. Sadly it proved ineffective, and Galvatron took them out with one blast of his cannon mode.
