- ―Roadbuster insulting an engineer.
Roadbuster helped his comrades load up the Autobot ship Xanthium, which was designed by them. He helped Leadfoot insult a human who was helping. He, with his brothers in arms, were supposedly killed when Starscream destroys the Xantium.
The Autobots faked their deaths and come back just in time to save Sam and Epps' team from a Decepticon fighter. Optimus shot it down. As the pilot tried escaping the craft, the Wreckers drew up and ripped the pilot, still alive, limb from limb.
Later, he and the other Autobots took refuge in an abandoned building while they thought of a plan. When they did, they evacuated with cover fire from Optimus Prime and Ratchet as Devcon climbed a building and started firing down at them.
- "Let's get some!"
- ―Roadbuster before the Wreckers attack Shockwave.
They created a diversion from Shockwave to allow the rest of the team to escape by firing every round of ammo they could at the Decepticon before leaving themselves.
He later helped free Optimus Prime from some cables he was caught in, thanked to Shockwave, and told them to hurry up because the Space Bridge had been activated.
