Groundbreaker is a Pretender Autobot who turns into a jet. He has a Pretender vehicle shell which is an armored all-terrain-vehicle. He is very brave inside his shell, but insecure outside it. ^[1]

[edit] Animated series

Gunrunner didn't appear until after the Transformers animated series ended in the U.S. so he didn't appear in the series. He wasn't released in Japan, so he didn't appear in the Japanese Masterforce series either. His only animated appearance was in the commercial for his toy.

[edit] Dreamwave Productions

Gunrunner did not appear in any fiction from Dreamwave Productions, but did get a one page biography in their More Than Meets The Eye series.

[edit] IDW Publishing

Gunrunner's first non-speaking cameo was in Stormbringer #1 by IDW Publishing working in the Autobot Orbital Command Hub.

He next appeared in Spotlight: Optimus Prime where he was sent in to help recover Omega Supreme after Monstructor was defeated.

Gunrunner was on the Autobot Orbital Command Hub in Spotlight: Blaster. He was present when Blaster was recovered and returned to the Autobots.

It should be noted that Gunrunner has not displayed a Pretender shell in any of his appearances in the IDW comics.

Unrelated to the first Gunrunner, a second character bearing that name was released in 1990 exclusive to Japan by Takara named Gunrunner. This toy is a redeco of the Micromaster Roadhandler who pilots the Landshaker vehicle, which is identical to that of the Hasbro Micromaster vehicle Groundshaker.
