Roadbuster
Odd one this one time, as this wasn't a Diaclone or Takara toy. No, Roadbuster started life as Mugen Calibur, part of Special Armored Battalion Dorvack line. Made by Takatoku Toys, the company went bust before being absorbed by Bandai in 1984.
The toy is rather neat, larger than the average Transformers toy and way more detailed. The file card would be the most characterization he'd get for years. According to the card, he's brave, fearless and loves nothing than blasting Decepticons. Outside of combat, he's quiet and bores easily.
The comics were pretty nonexistent, at least here in the states. He did show up in the UK series and more recent stuff. The most consistent element is his being a member/leader of the Wreckers, an elite squad of Autobot warriors. He's at least been in comics in some form. To date he's never been animated.
Disappointing, because he seems like cool character. Lot of potential to play off of other characters.
