| The name or term "Rollbar" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Rollbar (disambiguation). |
- Rollbar is an Autobot from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film continuity family.
Although Rollbar was trained by Ironhide in combat, he lacks even the modicum of finesse his mentor possesses. Relying on raw strength to get where he needs to go, he likes taking hits just to show how tough he is.[1] And if there's a Decepticon or other obstacle in his way, his idea of resolving them is to simply smash through them!
