Runamuck is one of the Decepticons in the Transformers: Cybertron toy line. He did not appear in the television series, and is a remold based on Armada Side Swipe. His appearance is a homage to Generation One Runabout.
Both his Hasbro and Takara tech specs indicated that he was a courier and spy for Megatron in the past, although now he has been sent to Earth to gain info on the Autobot quest for the Cyber Planet Keys. Bored, he amused himself by causing mayhem in front of many human witnesses, where the Autobots couldn't strike back.
Although this character is clearly a homage to Generation 1 Runabout, Hasbro chose to name him Runamuck in the U.S., possibly because the name was easier to trademark.
