He did not appear in an episode of any Transformers cartoon. His only appearance in fiction was in the Marvel comic but more so than his fellow Triggercons; Ruckus being the most interesting of the three. Although he was shown to love fighting, writer Simon Furman also provided extra characteristic traits to his personality - that of a single-minded warrior who lived to destroy, lacking any sort of grand ambition of his own with a weakness of speaking his mind in even the most inappropriate of situations. This trait was most likely developed upon from the story in which Ruckus made his first appearance - U.S. #48 The Flames of Boltax; written by Bob Budiansky where his character was limited to only one line and a response from Megatron.
Ruckus' Marvel and Dreamwave Bios have provided more information on him: here he was revealed to have been little more than an unimportant courier in Megatron's service - until the day he managed to warn his Decepticon brethren of an Autobot ambush using his vocal chips - the only part of him that still functioned. A delighted Megatron had him rebuilt into a much larger body, which in turn led to Ruckus becoming one of the bravest and brashest Decepticons around.

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
