Rollermaster Corps

The Rollermaster Corps is a Decepticon group from the Legends portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Rollermaster Corps (ローラーマスター軍団 Rōrāmasutā Gundan) is a unit of drone soldiers under the command of Straxus. They were created to be spare bodies for Straxus, but a defect led to poor intelligence, so now they are used as little more than slaves.

• Rollermaster vs Choppermaster (VS set, 2012)

• ID number: EX P1
• Release date: September 22, 2012

The Rollermaster Corps drones were repurposed from United EX Rollermaster, who represented Straxus himself.

Released in the first wave of TakaraTomy's United EX toyline, "Rollermaster" is a redeco of the Power Core Combiners Icepick toy, transforming into a treaded snow-plow vehicle of probably-made-up model. Unlike most Power Core Combiners Commander molds, Rollermaster does not have 5 mm post holes in or near his hands to allow him to use hand-held weapons. He has some sweet claws, though, and the hardpoint on his right shoulder allows him to use a Mini-Con's weapon mode as a shoulder-mounted emplacement. A flip-up Powerlinx socket on his chest allows him to use Mini-Cons as armor. He also has a secondary "Prime mode" configuration in which he forms a super robot torso; in this mode he can use the drone-limbs from any 5-pack set to make a new super-robot.

He was only available in a box set with Choppermaster, Spanner, and Firebug.
