:''Roller is a component of [[Autobot]] leader [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Roller deploy.jpg|thumb|Roller's one tough little autobot]]

In robot mode, Optimus Prime splits into three components:
*A sentient robot module.
*A wheeled drone module known as '''Roller'''.
*A [[Combat Deck]].

Although Optimus Prime can function as three independent modules, injury to any one module is felt by the other two.

Prime's original character description, as seen in the [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|''Transformers Universe'']] comic and the series bible named the robot module "Optimus" and the drone module "Prime", noting that the Prime module is also known as Roller. However, in practice, these names were never used as such. The robot module was always treated as if named "Optimus Prime", with "Prime" even being the robot module's most common nick name.

==Capabilities==

Roller is a small cart-shaped device that Optimus Prime uses to unobtrusively slip behind enemy lines. He can maintain radio control over Roller at distances up to 1200 miles. Having Roller present somewhere is like being there himself.

Roller is a droid, able to function autonomously without Optimus' active oversight. But without Optimus, by far the most important of the three modules, Roller would not survive. Optimus shows great attachment and concern for Roller, who is left particularly vulnerable by the behind-the-scenes situations in which he specializes.

Roller is able to speak in a series of beeps and whistles.

==Origin==
[[Image:Barrelroller_g1.jpg|thumb|100px|Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun...]]
The bio information in the [[E-Hobby]] exclusive toy of [[Orion Pax (G1)|Orion Pax]] established a pre-Earth history for Roller. Orion Pax was a transport and delivery worker on Cybertron. His body was composed to two autonomous units, Orion (the robot) and an industrial droid '''Barrelroller''', who transformed into an electromagnetic lift handle.

The name "Barrelroller" only appears in the official English-language translations of Orion Pax's bio on Takara's E-Hobby site. In the Japanese-language version of the bio -both online and on the pack-in bio card from the toy- Barrelroller is called simply "Roller". This more or less cements the idea that Barrelroller was rebuilt into Roller as we know him when Alpha Trion rebuilt Orion Pax into Optimus Prime.

Frenzy (G1)

2007-03-18T04:35:04Z

75.130.93.183: /* Generation 1 */

{{disambig2|the ''Generation 1'' Mini-Cassette|the ''Energon'' Mini-Con combiner|Frenzy (Energon)}}

:''Frenzy is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Frenzyhahaha.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Frenzy is blue, but the sound effect's still confused.]]

For '''Frenzy''' it's not about any "Decepticon cause," it's not about any quantifiable cause, or goal, or purpose at all. It's about violence, fear, destruction, and mayhem. Frenzy lives to fight. He lusts to destroy with an intensity that borders on insanity. War is his fuel, his oxygen. Despite his small stature he'll lead a charge into battle against robots many times his size, screaming for destruction with every microchip of his being. This single-minded obsession makes him a hard bot to associate with personally, but a frightening asset on the battlefield.

Frenzy's manic attack style and his "battle cry" (a sonic attack produced by special drums in his torso that can severely disrupt electrical flows, resulting in all sorts of mechanical malfunctions and balance issues) make him difficult to get close to in combat, but cool and measured reaction to his wild ragings is usually the most effective strategy.

''Italian name:'' '''Tartar'''<br>

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===

===Animated continuity===
[[Image:Frenzy.jpg|right|thumb|Look! I'm red!]]
:''Voice actor:'' [[Frank Welker]] (US), [[Ken Shiroyama]] (Japan-See note) [[Katsumi Suzuki]] ("Attack of the Autobots" and "Day of the Machines" only)

''(Note: In the Japanese dub of the Transformers, Frenzy was portrayed as the more frequently seen blue cassette to more accurately reflect the toy colors.)''

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Frenzy''' (Decepticon Cassette, 1984/1986/1987)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''18''', '''D-58''', '''D-103'''
:The Transformer known as Frenzy was created by adding a Decepticon sigil to the blue version of [[Takara]]'s ''[[Microchange]]'' "MC-01 Micross". For the Japanese market, Frenzy was packaged individually, numbered as "'''18'''". He was later renumbered as "'''D-58'''" during ''[[Scramble City]]'' and again as "'''D-103'''" for his release during ''[[Headmasters (franchise)|Headmasters]]''. The [[Hasbro]] version of Frenzy was available in 1984 and 1985 in a two-pack with [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]]. For 1986, his packmate was changed to [[Ratbat]], and for some of the Frenzy/Ratbat sets the weapons were gold chrome colored, changed from the silver chrome used previously. The 1986 release of Frenzy also used black plastic for his toes instead of diecast metal, and the stickers on his shins were removed.

:His mold was also used to create [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]].

===Generation 2===
* '''Frenzy''' (Go-Bot, 1995)
:Generation 2 saw the return of Frenzy as a [[redeco]] of the [[Go-Bot]] [[Blowout]] in purple and grey.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed for ''Generation 2'' Go-Bots [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and ''[[Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Hot Shot (RID)|Hot Shot]].

==Trivia==

[[Image:Frenzyname.jpg|right|thumb|Boy, times change.]]

*The US Cartoon accidentally reversed the colors of the two Decepticon cassettes, portraying Rumble as being blue and Frenzy red. (See [[FIBRIR]])

*Sunbow casting documents indicate that "Frenzy" was originally considered as a name for the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]], [[Rippersnapper]], but was dropped - presumably because that name was already in use.

Glit (KP)

2007-03-18T04:26:00Z

75.130.93.183: /* Kiss Players */

:''Glit is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Kiss Players]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Glit''' is a Decepticon doctor equipped with hip-mounted multipurpose medical toolboxes and highly precise laser scalpels, but no actual weaponry. Kind but stubborn, he is the best surgeon the Decepticons have. Unusually for his allegiance, he's compassionate enough to treat any wounded robot he comes across, regardless of their faction. It is said that when he appears on a battlefield, neither side will win, because no warriors will die. Needless to say, this has created friction with [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], who once ordered Glit's forelegs cut off to punish him for treating a wounded [[Autobot]] commander. The protests of his fellow Decepticons succeeded in changing their leader's mind.

Unlike other cassette [[Transformers]], Glit does not transform into an audio tape, but rather a head-cleaning cassette.

Glit likes to get loaded on [[Energon]] wine and sing.

==Fiction==
===Kiss Play Position===
After the [[Earth Defense Command|E.D.C.'s]] [[anti-electron]] field was removed, Transformers were once again able to visit the planet [[Earth]]. Glit was reluctantly pressed into service as a member of the newly-formed singing group "[[Kiss Players]]", which also included the humans [[Marissa Faireborn]], [[Shao-Shao Li]] and [[Atari Hitotonari]] and the Transformers [[Sundor]] and [[Rosanna]]. Although he claimed not to enjoy singing, the others knew that when he got drunk enough, he'd change his tune.

The Kiss Players kicked off a world tour. At their [[Fortress Maximus|Brave Maximus]] Fortress concert, a trio of mysterious [[Sparkbot]]s suddenly appeared, claiming to be servants of [[Primus]], and told the three humans to kiss them. When they did, the group was transported back to the year 1985.

==Toys==
===Kiss Players===
*'''Cassettron Set Kiss Players Position''' (Multi-pack, 2006)

: A [[redeco]] of the [[Ravage]] mold, Glit transforms from a microcassette that can fit into the tape door of the [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and [[Blaster]] toys to a robot jaguar. He was available only in an [[e-Hobby]] [[exclusive]] set with [[Rosanna]] and [[Sundor]], which also came with a bonus music CD.

: This mold was also used to make [[Howlback]].

::''Glit was released during the second week of March 2007.''

==Trivia==
* Glit's deco was created by [[Yui Kano]], the voice actress for ''Kiss Players'' character [[Shaoshao Li]] and for Glit himself.

* The name "Glit" seems to be a shortening of the word "glitter".

* Glit is also the first Decepticon toy with a specific "doctor" function. The [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] [[Hook]]'s medic-ness is debatable, being a "surgical engineer".

Rosanna (KP)

2007-03-18T04:25:40Z

75.130.93.183: /* Kiss Players */

:''Rosanna is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Kiss Players]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

Hand-picked by [[Blaster]] to join his team of cassettes, '''Rosanna''' is one of the few Autobots who can both sing and dance, and the only one who fully understands Blaster's love of music. As a pop idol, her songs soothe, comfort and embolden her fellow warriors, aided by fully-automatic microphones that can pick up her voice from hundreds of miles away in the middle of a battlefield. Her experiences as a cassette-bot have transformed her from sensitive and shy into an exuberant positive thinker. She tends to butt in on disagreements between other Transformers, but generally makes things worse with her awkward attempts to mediate. She constantly examines herself with a hand mirror to make sure she looks her best. She is probably very annoying in person.

Rosanna transforms into a micro-cassette. Her recording capacity in this mode is barely-used, and what little has been encoded is mostly memories of favorite moments with friends.

She likes to dance the [[Optimus Primal|Robot Monkey]].

==Fiction==
===Kiss Play Position===
After the [[Earth Defense Command|E.D.C.'s]] [[anti-electron]] field was removed, Transformers were once again able to visit the planet [[Earth]]. Rosanna, who had waited impatiently on Earth's Moonbase, could at last realize her dream: forming a singing idol group to entertain humanity!

Together with the cassette Transformers [[Glit]] and [[Sundor]] and the humans [[Marissa Faireborn]], [[Shao-Shao Li]] and [[Atari Hitotonari]], Rosanna performed in a world tour as a member of the group "[[Kiss Players]]". At their [[Fortress Maximus|Brave Maximus]] Fortress concert, a trio of mysterious [[Sparkbot]]s suddenly appeared, claiming to be servants of [[Primus]], and told the three humans to kiss them. When they did, the group was transported back to the year 1985.

She was available only in an [[e-Hobby]] [[exclusive]] set with [[Glit]] and [[Sundor]], which also came with a bonus music CD.

: This mold was also used to make [[Flip Sides]].

::''Rosanna was released during the second week of March 2007.''

==Trivia==
* Rosanna's deco was created by [[Lyrian]], the voice actress for ''Kiss Players'' character [[Marissa Faireborn]] and for Rosanna herself.

* Lyrian appears to be pretty freakin' uncreative, as Rosanna closely resembles [[Flip Sides]].

Sundor

2007-03-18T04:24:27Z

75.130.93.183: /* Kiss Players */

:''Sundor is an [[Decepticon|Autobot]] from the [[Kiss Players]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Sundor''' is an Autobot equipped with automatic-targeting blasters that fire Corona rays and can melt even [[Trithyllium]] steel. Arrogant and narcissistic, he was once a [[Decepticon]] until an accident involving sun spots and the [[space bridge]] altered his mind and body and he switched sides.

...Or so the Autobots believe. In fact, Sundor is secretly a Decepticon spy who concocted an elaborate cover story (apparently following an actual space bridge accident) to help him infiltrate the enemy from within. Although both sides believe that the accident changed his allegiance, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] is aware that Sundor remains his loyal follower. The unsuspecting [[Blaster]], meanwhile, is just thrilled to have a flyer on his team.

The incident granted Sundor nearly impenetrable skin and incredible solar powers, but his special abilities fade at sunset, forcing him to make up excuses for fleeing the battlefield when it becomes dark. The data recorded on his micro-cassette mode is almost entirely sun-based trivia.

==Fiction==
===Kiss Play Position===
After the [[Earth Defense Command|E.D.C.'s]] [[anti-electron]] field was removed, Transformers were once again able to visit the planet [[Earth]]. The narcissistic Sundor gladly joined the newly-formed singing group "[[Kiss Players]]", which also included the humans [[Marissa Faireborn]], [[Shao-Shao Li]] and [[Atari Hitotonari]] and the Transformers [[Rosanna]] and [[Glit]]. Although Rosanna was allegedly the star of the show (at least of the three Transformers), Sundor believed that he properly ought to be the true spotlight feature.

As the Kiss Players performed at the [[Fortress Maximus|Brave Maximus]] Fortress stop of their world tour, a trio of mysterious [[Sparkbot]]s suddenly appeared, claiming to be servants of [[Primus]], and told the three humans to kiss them. When they did, the group was transported back to the year 1985.

==Toys==
===Kiss Players===
*'''Cassettron Set Kiss Players Position''' (Multi-pack, 2006)

: A [[redeco]] of the [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]]/[[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]] mold, Sundor transforms from a microcassette that can fit into the tape door of the [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and [[Blaster]] toys to a robot condor. It was available only in an [[e-Hobby]] [[exclusive]] set with [[Glit]] and [[Rosanna]], which also came with a bonus music CD.

: This mold was also used to make [[Garboil]].

::''Sundor was released during the second week of March 2007.''

==Trivia==
* Sundor's deco was created by [[Satomi Akesaka]], the voice actress for ''Kiss Players'' character [[Atari Hitotonari]] and for Sundor himself.

* The name "Sundor" seems to be a pun on the mold's original name "Condor". The new tape-mode stickers show a series of suns around the edges.
