| This article is about the Beast Wars II Predacon subgroup. For the Generation 2 Decepticon subgroup, see Auto Roller (G2). For a list of other meanings, see Roller (disambiguation). |
- The Autorollers are a Predacon subgroup and sometimes faction from the Beast Wars II portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Autorollers (オートローラーズ Ōtorōrāzu) are everything the Combatrons are not. Where Dirge and Thrust are lazy do-nothings, the Autorollers are tirelessly industrious. Where Starscream and BB are ostentatious and ambitious, the Autorollers are practical and low-key. And where both pairs of Combatrons are constantly undermining and betraying each other, the Autorollers are a tight-knit unit, steadfastly dedicated to their fellow teammates.
Seasoned veterans who have fought countless battles and waged innumerable campaigns for the Predacon cause, they were unfortunately reborn on the planet Gaia as mere construction officers, tasked with clearing land and building bases. This dismissal of their war record stifles their egos, but more pressing than that, it keeps them from settling their score with the Insectrons: bitter rivals whom they've pursued halfway across the galaxy.
The Autorollers consist of:
- Autostinger, leader, ex-mercenary and dump truck.
- Autocrusher, oldest member and payloader.
- Autojetter, youngest member and F/A-18 fighter jet.
- Autolauncher, skilled Discmaster and armored personnel carrier.

Toys
Beast Wars II
- Autorollers
- The four Autoroller toys included two molds previously released in the U.S. Generation 2 line, and two additional molds developed but never released. All four feature gearing mechanisms that automatically transform the toys from vehicle to robot when rolled forward.
Notes
- Like some of the other Beast Wars II Predacons, the Autorollers were reissued in South Korea in Car Bot packaging, reaffiliated as Autobots, and renamed. Autocrusher became Scoutslasher. Autojetter became Scoutjet. Autolauncher became Scoutlauncher. Autostinger became Scoutstinger. The team as a whole was called Scoutforce.
