[edit] Animated Series
Roadbuster was among those Transformers toys that did not appear in the Transformers animated series because the show was going to appear in Japan, where the toy was owned by Takara's rivals.
[edit] Dreamwave Comics
Roadbuster appeared in the second War With comic series by Dreamwave as a member of the Wreckers lead by Springer.
[edit] IDW Comics
Roadbuster, in Cybertronian form, appeared in issue #2 of the Stormbringer series by IDW Productions. He aided Springer's Wreckers on the planet Varas Centralus in the Kol system when Optimus Prime redeployed the Wreckers for a mission on Cybertron.
[edit] Transformers: Universe
Although never released, plans for a Transformers: Universe Roadbuster revealed as a possibly Botcon exclusive toy. The toy was a remold of Transformers: Energon Strongarm. Although these plans wer canceled, a similar toy called Fallback was created, a homage to Generation 1 Outback, made from the same original mold.
