- Barrel Roll is a Mini-Con from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family or an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family (via the 2010 Transformers toyline).
Barrel Roll, while formerly a hothead, seems like a friendly and kind chap now. He's a believer in the concept of innate Autobot moral purity. While a bit distrustful of Decepticons in general, he also seems to be big on pan-faction "flier" solidarity. One hopes he has a good and long life!
Barrel Roll's nature varies. Incarnations of him include Mini-Cons, Micromasters, and Aerialbots.

Notes
[edit]- The Minicon[sic] 8 Pack gives no indication whatsoever what continuity these eight Mini-Cons hail from. In 2012, Barrel Roll appeared in the IDW comics. In 2015, the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime simultaneously established the pack members as Unicron Trilogy Mini-Cons and Generation 1 sometimes-Micromasters.
- The stock photography for Barrel Roll shows him with his canopy paint separated. The final product, however, makes the canopy solid black.
