| This article is about the Autobot motorcycle. For Powerflash's Action Master partner, see Road Rocket (G1). |
- Road Rocket is an Autobot from the Generation 2 and Robot Masters portions of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Road Rocket is quite literally a hot headed young punk, ready, willing and able to burn up the pavement as he races into battle. When doing this, Road Rocket is constantly pushing his triple-turbo engine to its very limits, putting off so much heat that it glows and he needs to drink a cocktail of oil and anti-freeze to cool off. Road rocket wields a light saber weapon which can dissolve Decepticon armor faster than ice cream melts on a summertime sidewalk.
Fiction
Japanese G2 minicomics
After the Cybertron Alliance failed, Road Rocket was one of the new warriors assembled by Optimus Prime to fight back against Megatron. An effective warrior, he was also a loner by nature and frequently acted without consulting his fellow Autobots, getting him into trouble. Still, he was shown with Optimus Prime and the Laser Rods as having survived the final battle with Megatron, Dreadwing and the Decepticons.
Robot Masters online mini-comics
IDW comics continuity
- Road Rocket was a part of Hound's Tactical Response Unit, stationed at Thunderhead Pass to guard the remains of Thunderwing. After an unsuccessful attempt to contain the attacking Galvatron, he and most of the other members of his team were knocked offline but their lives were spared in an uncharacteristic act of mercy.
Toys
Generation 2
- Road Rocket (Laser Cycle, 1995)
- Road Rocket transforms into a red and blue Yamaha GTS1000 motorcycle. One of the two Laser Cycles released in the tail end of Generation 2, Road Rocket has a light up gimmick and articulation similar to the Laser Rod's, pressing a button will light an LED, making the clear plastic of its arm mounted weapon illuminate.
- This mold was also used for Robots in Disguise Sideways. It was planned for use in Generation 2 as Jazz, but that toy never saw release.
Robot Masters
- Road Rocket (Robot Master, 2004)
- Japanese ID number: RM-18
- Road Rocket's second toy was a redeco of his first, largely in yellow and black. It retained the LED functionality of the original release.
