Runway is the name of a Mini-Con who turns into a jet. He is a member of the Air Defense and Air Asssault teams, and combines with his companions Jetstorm and Sonar to for the Star Saber.

In 2003 a redeco of the Air Defense Team was released called the Air Assault Team. Dreamwave comics explained that the Air Assault Team are the evil personalities the team takes on when their Star Saber form is wielded by a powerful evil character like Megatron, transforming the team into their evil personas.

Runway appeared in the Dreamwave Summer Special. Now in command of the Decepticons, Megatron sends Snowcat, Slugslinger and Sharkticon each on missions to steal copies of the plans for Omega Supreme from the Autobot's Ocean City. Sharkticon was overpowered by underwater defenders and then tossed out by Kicker and the Mini-Cons Jetstorm, Runway and Sonar. Each of the three made up stories to Megatron as to why they failed.

Dreamwave's More Than Meets The Eye series gave Runway much needed character.

Although no toy named Runway was produced for the Transformers: Universe line, there was one very minor cameo in it's fiction. In the 2003 BotCon voice actor play, Armada Megatron appeared who was wielding the Dark Saber, of which Armada Runway was a member.
