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.

In the Story mode of F-Zero GX, Roger himself is seen at the Bet & Race Dollars casino race lounge having a drink. Although his name appeared within the building's race board as an entrant No.09, he wasn't seen competing in the same bet race as Famicom. Roger Buster and his machine later reappear during The F-Zero Grand Prix.

F-Zero X[]

North American manual
Age: 40
Roger, a transportation guru, was supposed to transport a machine to an unknown participant. His partner persuaded him to abandon that idea and race for himself.
Japanese manual (translated)
He is a space courier, which means that his day job is transportation. It is his policy to take on any dangerous job when asked to do so, but this time, he was honestly baffled by the unaccompanied cargo, an F-Zero machine. At the suggestion of his partner, Draq, he is forced to participate in the race...

(Roger's idle pose consists of himself looking toward his right in a slight slanted position with his right hand on his thigh. His actions involve pounding his left shoulder three times then placing his hand on it while he rotates his head counterclockwise before performing the aforementioned in reverse, followed by stretching his torso sideways left then right. When selected, he jumps high in the air then lands and pounds his thighs before performing another jump and finally landing with a looping muscular posture.)

North American profile
Sex:Male Age:41
Roger is a galactic deliveryman famous for his policy of “No consignment too dangerous !” He’s set to enter the race again with Draq in machines of unknown ownership. While Draq is a huge F-ZERO fan, Roger himself isn’t too interested in it. For Roger, finding the proper owner of the machines so that he can complete his deliveries is the overall goal of the competition.
Japanese profile (translated)
He is an interplanetary transporter by profession, and has a policy of "transporting anything dangerous" if asked. As in the previous episode, Roger is racing with his partner, Draq, in the unclaimed package "F-ZERO" machine. His partner, Draq, is an ardent "F-ZERO" fan, but Roger himself is not so interested in the "F-ZERO". He is a courier by nature, and his first priority is to find the recipient of the "F-ZERO" machine they are riding and deliver it to him as soon as possible.

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.

Trivia[]

  • In F-Zero GX, Roger's final pose after being selected is similar to artwork of Mr. EAD's pose.
