174.25.16.197: Co-starring… Roller.

I've got the resources for Roller (There's a surprisingly large amount.)

You x-bob- you say Roller was upgraded in Battlestars? Was that as Powered Bomber? (That's one of the questions Iw as goignt o put to doug dlin...) Was PB ever confirmed to be roller? Did he have a media appearance? (I'd settle for a photo battle scene from Star Convoy's box if such a thing exists...) -[[User:71.210.178.213|71.210.178.213]] 01:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Who's Powered Bomber? do you mean God/Apex Bomber if so then that guys not roller.01:21, 27 March 2006 (UTC)~

He said '''Battlestars''', which means '''Star''' Convoy. And yeah, as far as I know, an upgraded version of Roller comes with Star Convoy. (Big and motorized!) --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 01:41, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Right, and I've heard the term Powered Bobmewr mentioned, not sure if it's right. Is rolelr JUST the blue drive unit? Does he have a differet name when you attach the gray ramps and gun emplacement for Micromaster Hot Rod? Do you know, or should I ask doug what the instructions say? -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 01:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

IMO Apex Bomber shouldn't bee in this article
P.S. An alternate name for Battlestars Roller is Microcarrier [[User:X-BoB58|X-BoB58]] 02:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Apex Bomber --http://www.tfu.info/2003/Autobot/ApexPrime/apexprime.htm
''Apex Armor is formed by combining binary-bonded Optimus Prime with his trailer and armored roller drone.'' -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 02:13, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Good point: Apex Bomber isn't nessicarily the same as God Bomber. I'm pretty sure Apex is supposed to be a remote controlled drone, just like Roller was too.
He COULD be considered an upgraded version, especially since the original would have been lost after one or another of Prime's deaths, since he's actually a part of Prime, presumably there's no spark or anything to consider.

On an unrelated note, shouldn't tghe portion that mentions that Barelroller's japanese name is Roller also mention that Roller's Japanese name is, if I recall correctly, Buggy?

== Star Convoy's Roller ==

Isn't the flat blue thing with caterpillar that come with Star Convoy also Roller? shouldn't it be mentionned?

:Its "name" is Tread Unit, I assume it's what was being talked about further up this page, and I don't know whether there's any reason to actually think it's supposed to be an incarnation of Roller. It was seemingly referred to as "a version of Roller" in the early fandom, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was literal. Probably, with the dearth of actual Battlestars material, there's no definitive word on who or what Tread Unit is, but maybe we should ask...SPENGLER! -[[User:LV|LV]] 00:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

=Robotech Connection=
Not that I actually care, but Roller also got re-used as the [http://www.macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/gnxm3002.htm “GN XM-3ØØ2 Low-Gravity Vehicle”] in Macross and a never-named vehicle in Robotech. If you were to mention this, it might get a little more traffic to your site from Google. Just sayin.’ [[Special:Contributions/174.25.16.197|174.25.16.197]] 03:04, 6 May 2011 (EDT)A REDDSON
