Combat Deck is a component of Autobot leader Optimus Prime in Generation 1 continuity.
In robot mode, Optimus Prime splits into three components:
- A sentient robot module.
- A wheeled drone module known as Roller.
- A Combat Deck.
Although Optimus Prime can function as three independent modules, injury to any one module is felt by the other two.
Prime can operate by remote-control his Combat Deck module up to a distance of 1500 feet. The Auto-Launcher mounted on the Deck can use a variety of artillery and radiation beam weapons, including most of those used by his fellow Autobots. The Launcher also includes a highly dexterous grapple-arm which allows it to load itself and change its weaponry. The communications disk antenna mounted on the launcher provides a link between Optimus and all his fellow Autobots within a radius of 50 miles. It can be adapted to a satellite hook-up that increases its effective range 10-fold.
Unlike Roller, the Combat Deck does not possess autonomous intelligence.
