Mighty Hurricane (EBB)
Roger Buster is a character who works as a deliveryman, and also competes as an F-Zero pilot in the F-Zero tournaments. He makes his debut in F-Zero X and returns in the sequels.
Biography[]
A very serious man, Roger Buster entered the cargo shipping business with his friend, Draq. Roger's cargo company delivered across the galaxy and a famous motto of his was that, "No consignment is too dangerous!" One set of cargo happened to be two F-Zero machines that lacked a return address.
Without anyone to deliver the machines to, Draq convinced Roger that they should both enter the Grand Prix with the machines. That way the owner would identify them and they could finish the delivery. However, no one stepped forward to claim the machines, so Roger and Draq entered again the next year. Although Draq would like to win enough money to afford his own machine, Roger simply wants to complete the delivery.
Anime[]
Roger's Anime counterpart made a cameo appearance with Draq in two Laps. The first was in Lap 9, The Promise, and Roger met up with the kid, Alias, at the Falcon House who was scheduled to get heart surgery. Roger and Rick Wheeler became rivals before the Fake Star Cup and the former made the incentive to get him exotic mangos. Unfortunately, Pico shot a speed-sensitive sensor onto each machine. And following Draq's disregard for his welfare since they can't exceed the orange zone, he and Rick Wheeler did the same, and the Dragon Bird won without incident as Captain Falcon disabled the blimp. Draq was soon forgiven by Roger, though, and Alias still got the mangos he wanted as he and the two deliverymen headed to his destination for his heart surgery.
In Lap 45, Zoda's Other Ambition, he was again taken hostage, with Draq, by Dark Million. Only this time, it was Zoda demanding what's in the cargo they shipped to Lightning. Draq blurted out he won't get away and they have friends in the Galaxy Platoon, making Zoda admire their catch. Through the records, they were shipping ingredients to make a biological weapon similar to the liquid Blood Falcon. The Galaxy Runner received the signal but was cut off, and Zoda demanded in order to rescue them, they must investigate the empty warehouse Dark Million's been using; the team suspected it can be a trap since a third party's used to keep their plans secret. They were thrown into a cell for a short while before a special spy saved their hides, leaving an injured Roger who failed to fight Zoda earlier. So they participated in distracting Lightning's lethal defenses as the Task Force enter the base. During the scrimmage between Rick and Black Shadow, despite Roger and his Mighty Hurricane being tossed around a few times, they finally made their getaway before the hideout exploded.
Ikran's F-Zero timeline[]
He did participate in the X and GX competitions, but always lost to Falcon. He still remains as Draq's closest delivery partner, and hasn't found ownership of the Mighty machines. He made his first major appearance in the second lap of A Trilogy of Tension, when he made his interstellar delivery to the Falcon House consisting of Doreyan mangos for Alias. He wanted to promise him to win the Fake Star race as an incentive for the boy to take his open heart surgery, and his rival, Rick, wanted to do the same. The Dragon Bird and Mighty Hurricane were clipping each other's wings, even being in harm's way thanks to Draq's meddling and the constant danger of going either above/below the Orange Zone. Roger was desperate to win, and by the last minute, when Falcon, Yami, Kuriboh, and Joey destroyed the blimp, Rick took in first! He then slapped Draq across the face for putting him and other pilots in danger, and he should focus more on their friendship than their business, otherwise it'd be strained. He was seen with Draq, Alias and his mom in a space carrier with the boy thanking Rick for his promise.
Roger was next seen with Draq as they entered the Falcon House and he recognized Tinsel. She didn't, and she thought he'd be more of a wrestler than an F-Zero racer. Just then, as Roger was socializing and drinking some beer, Goroh and his family stole the 2 Mighty machines!! Roger demanded if they had ownership on those crafts to which they'd denied and stole! Roger was desperate to get them back, even if Clank should resort to his hacking abilities, to which the coordinates led to Red Canyon! Tinsel and her allies went on the pursuit, and it was a hopeless cause, especially since he was familiar on the law on forfeiting their crafts for good. They got captured, until Falcon intervened and accepted the death race. He, Tinsel and Leon took Goroh, Lisa and Dai on, and won ownership! After all, the receipts the bandits presented were phonies; as he'd know from his skills in the Internova Police Force. Roger then offered Draq to be Tinsel's bodyguard as she looks for the Task Force, while he keeps a watch on the delivery business.
It was stated by Falcon to Tinsel that the actual owners of the Mighty Hurricane/Typhoon had vanished after the Horrific Accident; it was soon revealed to be Deathborn banishing the owners into space like hapless vagabonds!
He was seen in Draq's nightmare after the Skull put him in a coma. He was in a burning blimp with their cargo, and Roger was unconscious; he had to make a crucial decision, either his life or the cargo. He then decided saving Roger was the right thing to do! Since Deathborn's defeat, they became the official proud owners of the machines!
