I think that only fits here if it's retroactively declared that the roller car was *always* Blackjack-the-Micromaster, since it's definitely not just random-name-slappage.... |

This article is about a character or concept that lacks a name, but has an official term or designation. |
| This article is about Motormaster's drone unit. For Optimus Prime's drone unit, see Roller (G1). For a list of other meanings, see Roller (disambiguation). |
- Roller car is an accessory from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Motormaster has a third "ramp" alternate mode. Roller car is just the right size to drive up and down that ramp. When the Stunticons combine to form Menasor it takes its place as the chest-piece.
It is presumably a drone.

The roller car can be seen in its proper place on Menasor's chest. Passive Aggression
Toys
Generation 1
- Motormaster (Stunticon, 1986)
- Team ID number: S5

- Motormaster and the roller car were also available as part of a Menasor giftset.
Generation 2

 Proceed on your way to oblivion. |
Notes
- The roller car was left out of almost all Generation 1 fiction, including Motormaster's toy bio. Unlike Trypticon's Full-Tilt, the roller car was even left off Menasor's character model in both the Generation 1 cartoon and Marvel comics. The term "roller car" comes from Motormaster's instruction sheet.
- Generations Blackjack is a combined homage to Micromaster Blackjack and the roller car, being intended to take the latter's place on Combiner Wars Menastor's chest.
