Roller Force

Roller Force is a Decepticon Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Daaayum, you got served!

Roller Force regards everything as an obstacle, even his teammates in the Race Track Patrol. Especially since he thinks race tracks are for wimp-bots, and prefers the rugged terrain of the battlefield.

Fiction

Zone story pages

Following Metrotitan's defeat at the hands of Road Fire, the Race Track Patrol were introduced as rivals of the Autobot Micromasters. They were described as being former Autobot Micromasters who defected to the side of the Decepticons, fueling the rivalry. They never actually took part in any battle. Zone Part 9

Dreamwave comics continuity

Roller Force was among the new and impressionable Micromasters who were created in the middle of the war and became Decepticons. Alongside the rest of the Sports Car Patrol, he stole some Autobot energon and fought the Hot Rod Patrol over it. During the battle, he mocked his teammate Motorhead for being a rookie, only to be overturned in vehicle mode by Trip-Up. After winning the battle, the Patrol learned from their commander Shockwave that they wouldn't get a drop of the fuel they worked hard to steal, and rebelled by ditching the Decepticons. On the way to Little Iacon, they ran into the Hot Rod Patrol again, and though Roller Force was eager for a rematch, he calmed down once he learned that the Hot Rods had similarly abandoned their faction. Destined for Nothing

Both teams found themselves attacked by the cannibalistic Insecticons, and though they were saved by Groundshaker, the Sports Car Patrol was ungrateful, with Roller Force even expressing interest in killing their savior. After rejecting Shockwave's appeal for them to return to the Decepticons, they went to The Burn Outs bar, where Roller Force found Trip-Up occupying his seat. He prepared to teach the punk a lesson using his hidden knuckle-blades, but the bar brawl was ultimately avoided when Trip-Up and everyone else present became more interested in watching a race between Roadhandler and Big Daddy. The Gray Race The Sports Car Patrol later agreed to help the Insecticons find the Hot Rod Patrol for the Decepticons, seeing as how refusal would probably lead to their too-early deaths. After then returning to the Decepticons, they found that Micromasters Skystalker and Skyhopper had overthrown Shockwave and taken command. Recipe for Hate

When the Hot Rod Patrol, led by Countdown, showed up at the Decepticon base to rescue some imprisoned Micromasters, the Sports Car Patrol fought them again. While Roller Force initially didn't mind Skystalker's master plan to rid Cybertron of the "guzzlers" by pitting them against eachother until their fuel ran out, he and the others were convinced by Countdown that Skystalker was a ruthless jerk who would just as happily rid Cybertron of them when it became convenient. They subsequently helped put a stop to the plan by interrupting a major battle between the Autobot and Decepticon guzzlers. Victims of the Revolution

Notes

• Though it's not quite an error, we love pointing out Dreamwave's boo-boos, so: In their More than Meets the Eye encyclopedia, Roller Force's subgroup designation says, "Decepticon Race Track Patrol" when it should say "Micromaster Race Track Patrol."
• In Japan, the "Race Car Patrol Team" served as minions of Metrotitan... though this seemingly didn't even net them an appearance in the Zone story pages.
