'''Autojetter''' (オートジェッター ''Ōtojettā'') is the youngest of the Autorollers, which of course means he's the most brash and undisciplined of the lot.  Autojetter will follow orders out of respect for [[Autostinger]], but he'd much rather be shooting first and asking questions... well, ''never'' really.  Bodyguard duty, his most common assignment, bores him to tears and he'll often ditch his charges in favor of looking for trouble wherever he can find it.  Needless to say, he's a dropout when it comes to escort missions.

Autojetter maintains rivalries with the [[Insectron]]s [[Tonbot]] and [[Drill Nuts]], though his justifications for the stewing hatred are tenuous at best.  When it comes to Tonbot, he hates him because dragonflies often clog up his jet intakes, and Tonbot turns into a dragonfly so ''of course''.  As for Drill Nuts, that guy is a total ''dweeb'' and Autojetter can't stand those, either.

While operating as a mercenary with the Autorollers, Autojetter encountered the [[Insectron]]s and formed a rivalry with them.  In particular, he came to hate [[Drill Nuts]] for his gloomy and intellectual personality. {{storylink|Danger! Scissor Boy}}

Autojetter and the other Autorollers were aboard the ''[[Galvaburg II]]'' when [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] came to the planet [[Gaea (planet)|Gaea]]. They assumed vehicular modes based on scans from the super-computer found in the planet's ruins. {{storylink|White Lion, Run!}} They were sent to work on a Predacon base near an isolated lake, secretly a trap to capture any unwary Maximal. {{storylink|The Lake Trap}}

When the [[Combatron (BWII)|Combatron]]s failed to remove the [[Insectron]] colonists from the [[South America|South Continent]] or trick them into eliminating the Maximals, [[Autostinger]] finally stepped forward and told [[Megastorm]] that his team would take responsibility for that mission. Megastorm accepted, and so Autostinger and Autojetter made contact with [[Bigmos]]. Autostinger called in an old debt to make Bigmos and the Insectrons stand down and allow the Autorollers to eliminate the Maximals without interference.

Autostinger's gambit eventually failed when Bigmos leapt into the midst of a firefight to save Autostinger from [[Lio Convoy]]'s missiles, ending the debt between them. He then ordered the Autorollers off the Insectrons' land, or else they would be enemies. Autojetter served as Autostinger's second in a duel with Bigmos, fighting [[Tonbot]] on the sidelines. Their duel was interrupted by the Combatrons' attempting to collapse a mountain on the cave where they battled, and the fighting was put aside so that all parties could escape. The Autorollers and Insectrons departed amicably at the end of the day, but acknowledged they would meet again in battle as enemies. {{storylink|Autorollers Roll Out!}} 

The Autorollers made another assault on the Insectrons, and captured an unwary [[Scissor Boy]]. In a complicated series of escapades, they also captured [[Tasmania Kid]] and tried to force the Maximals to lead them to the Insectrons' lair. Boy and Kid actually planned to lead them into an ambush by the Maximals, but the unknowing [[Drill Nuts]] and [[Powerhug (BWII)|Powerhug]] started a landslide early to rescue their friends, and the diversion ended up leading the Autorollers in a circle back to the ''Galvaburg II''. Megastorm was initially pleased by Autojetter and his cohorts' accomplishment, but then the united Maximals and Insectrons arrived at the ship while the Combatrons were out on patrol. Megastorm was forced to abandon his position and take the ''Galvaburg II'' to the air before being overrun by enemies. {{storylink|Danger! Scissor Boy}} 

After their last few failures, Megastorm put the Autorollers back on fortress construction duty. Although Autocrasher appreciated the work, Autojetter felt slighted and wanted to show he was the most fearsome Predacon of all. Autostinger was moved by Autojetter's passion, and they came up with a plan to reroute the Angolmois they were digging for to create an eruption that would destroy the Insectrons' lands in the name of the Predacons. 

The Autorollers' plot was uncovered by Scuba, but Autojetter got the drop on him. He was delighted to hear Scuba talking aloud to himself about how the Autorollers were the most dangerous enemy on Gaea, and Scuba took advantage of his error to appeal to their egos while being held hostage. A crazed Galvatron upset everyone's plans, drilling into the Angolmois pipelines to disturb the flow, and the Autorollers ended up joining forces with Scuba and the Maximals to bring down the rampaging Galvatron with an overdose of Angolmois energy. After the battle, the Maximals and Autorollers parted peacefully after Autojetter got Scuba to compliment them one last time. {{storylink|Galvatron Rampages}}

The Autorollers continued to work on Megastorm's behalf, devastating much of the South Continent in their efforts to build an Angolmois powered fortress. {{storylink|Predacon General Offensive!}} 

At one of their construction sites on the [[Eurasia|East Continent]], Autojetter and the Autorollers were joined by Starscream and BB, who intended to capture the [[Jointron]]s for study. Most of the Autorollers got involved in this side mission, but the Combatrons failed to separate the Jointrons for long. The might of [[Tripledacus]] soon drove off the Predacons and their fortress site was destroyed. {{storylink|Who Is the Leader!?}}

When [[Artemis]] and [[Moon (BWII)|Moon]] hosted a debate over who the strongest warriors were among the Transformers, Galvatron compared his troops, the Autorollers, to the Maximal allies, the Insectrons. {{storylink|Who Is the Strongest Warrior!?}} 

The Angolmois energy on Gaea grew violent due to the approach of the artificial planet, [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]]. This upset the fortress construction projects by Autojetter and the Autorollers, making the ground highly unstable from Angolmois geysers. {{storylink|Enter Lio Junior}} Still, the Autorollers continued gathering massive amount of Angolmois energy through their drilling sites. When a squad of Maximals raided one of the Angolmois facilities, Galvatron set a trap for them. He had the Autorollers lure the Maximals inside the base and then sealed it shut. He then called down a massive blast from Nemesis in space to annihilate his foes. {{storylink|Gigastorm's Treachery}}

When an alien device called the [[teleport gate]] crash-landed on Gaea, the Predacons quickly took control of it, summoning the behemoth [[Majin Zarak]].  Autojetter joined Galvatron and the other Predacons on Majin Zarak's aircraft carrier mode, and was deployed to battle the Maximal forces alongside the other Autorollers. He was quickly repelled by their firepower. {{storylink|Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!}}

As Nemesis approached the Earth, Autojetter and the Autorollers continued building new fortresses to gather the planet's energy for the Predacons. {{storylink|Knock Out Nemesis}} Lio Junior was able to sniff out their Angolmois-concentrating plants, however, bringing their construction projects under fire. {{storylink|Lio Junior's Revolt!?}} After [[Hellscream]] and [[Max-B]] located the Maximals' missile base in the [[Rocky Mountains|Rock Mountains]], Galvatron dispatched the Autorollers to help destroy the project. They were opposed by the [[Jointron]]s and [[Tripledacus]]. {{storylink|Fly Out! Planet Gaea}}

Autojetter and the Autorollers were last seen manning the Predacon engineering fortresses on Gaea when the artificial planet Nemesis began actively siphoning the world's energy into itself. {{storylink|Breaking into Nemesis}}

====''Beast Wars Neo'' cartoon====
After the defeat of [[Unicron]], Autojetter returned to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where he helped with reconstruction. {{storylink|Graduation Ceremony!!}}

Autojetter served as Galvatron's personal guard and was personally tasked with accompanying him while he was in dragon mode. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #1}}

===''Classics''===
[[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] used [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] schematics to form Autojetter's structural components, {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 51|Scylla's bio}} and tampered with Autojetter's nano-structure, in an attempt to create a better breed of soldier. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 51|Autojetter's bio}} Autojetter was one of three Autobots stored in [[stasis pod]]s aboard the ''[[Graviton (Classics)|Graviton]]''. The stasis pods were lost overboard when the ship crashed over prehistoric [[Earth]] in an [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon|alternate universe]], and the trio were converted into Decepticons by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]. They attacked [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and his team, however the arrival of [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depth Charge]] turned the tide of the battle as he blasted the three new Decepticons. {{storylink|Shattered Expectations (BWSG)|Shattered Expectations}}

The Decepticons pursued the Autobots to a chasm, where they watched Megatron take on Ultra Magnus and be defeated. They climbed to the bottom of the chasm to retrieve their fallen leader and found a giant face hewn into the rock. It cheered Megatron up immensely once they dug him out of the rubble. {{storylink|Shattered Paths}} Within the cavern they'd located, Autojetter and the others watched Megatron utilize the ancient equipment. They got the opportunity to fight the Autobots, now calling themselves Maximals, again and Autojetter managed to secure the Maximals' energy purifier. {{storylink|Shattered Hope}} The Predacons including Autojetter accompanied Megatron as he used the giant mech he'd built to try and claim the matrix the Maximals had found. {{storylink|Shattered Balance}} They battled the Maximals once more, until they were all sucked into a dimensional rift thanks to Ultra Mammoth. {{storylink|Shattered Destiny}}

==Toys==
===Beast Wars===
[[File:BWII-toy Autojetter.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Autojetter''' (Deluxe, 1998)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''D-19'''
**''Accessories'': 6 missiles

: Autojetter transforms into an [[Wikipedia:F/A-18|F/A-18 fighter jet]] with a trio of pressure-launch missiles in each wing (activated by a sliding lever), which become his arms in robot mode.  Like [[Autolauncher]], he has a three-setting switch that changes how the toy reacts to being rolled on a smooth surface.  In the center setting, it rolls free in whichever mode it’s in.  The other two activate the toy’s auto-transforming gimmick; with the switch to the left, the toy transforms from robot to jet when rolled forward (and back when rolled in reverse), while the right position transforms him from jet to robot when rolled forward (and back when in reverse).

:Autojetter was reissued in the Korean ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)#Car Bot|Car Bot]]'' toyline, reassigned as an [[Autobot]] and renamed [[Scoutjet]].

==Notes==
[[File:G2AutoJetter.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
* Autojetter's mold was originally created for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'', but was one of several items that ended up canceled. This release would have been olive and orange, and its intended name is unknown.
* All of the ''Beast Wars II'' [[Autoroller]]s have 2-D card art, rather than the CGI model art made for the entire rest of the line.
