Part of the second wave of Power of the Primes Legends Class figures, Roadtrap transforms into a generic blue SUV. He can also form a set of robot legs, combining with Battleslash to form Battletrap.

Like most Legends Class figures from the Power of the Primes subline, Roadtrap can carry a Prime Master (or Titan Master) while in vehicle mode. In his case, they attach at what would be his chest in robot mode. In an undocumented play feature, this means he can mount a Prime Master-equipped Matrix of Leadership on his chest.
His packaging artwork depicts him with a blaster which the toy proper does not have.
