Generation 2

• ??? (Auto Roller, 1995?)
  • Accessories: 6 missiles

Planned as an Auto Roller item for Generation 2, this Deluxe-sized figure transforms into an [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}F/A-18|{{#if:F/A-18 fighter jet|F/A-18 fighter jet|F/A-18}}]]. Ultimately, this toy went unreleased; its name is unknown, if Hasbro ever decided upon one.

The jet Auto Roller features a trio of pressure-launch missiles in each wing (activated by a sliding lever), which become his arms in robot mode. Like the APC Auto Roller, this figure has a three-setting switch that changes how the toy reacts to being rolled on a smooth surface. In the center setting, it rolls free in whichever mode it's in. The other two activate the toy's auto-transforming gimmick; with the switch to the left, the toy transforms from robot to jet when rolled forward (and back when rolled in reverse), while the right position transforms him from jet to robot when rolled forward (and back when in reverse).

This mold was ultimately revived and released in Beast Wars II as Autojetter.

Notes

• The faction of this character is unknown. The first wave of Auto Launchers consisted of Decepticons (Dirtbag and Roadblock) while the second wave consisted of Autobots (General Optimus Prime and Sgt. Hound).
• In early Beast Wars planning, Hasbro conceptualized a McDonald's toy of Starscream as a "Vehicle Auto Roller" jet.<ref>{{#if: The last proposed Happy Meal Transformers were not the familiar Beast Wars animals, and would have included Prowl, Starscream, Hound and Rumble as Vehicle Auto Rollers, functionally similar to the Creature Auto Rollers. |"The last proposed Happy Meal Transformers were not the familiar Beast Wars animals, and would have included Prowl, Starscream, Hound and Rumble as Vehicle Auto Rollers, functionally similar to the Creature Auto Rollers."—|}}{{#if: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJIcRo5Aqym/ |@roboticplanettoys|@roboticplanettoys}}{{#if: Instagram |, Instagram|}}{{#if: |, ""|}}{{#if: 2020 |, 2020{{#if: 12 |/{{#switch:{{#len:12}}|1=012|12}}{{#if: 23|/{{#switch:{{#len:23}}|1=023|23}}|}}}}|}}{{#if: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJIcRo5Aqym/ ||}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://www.instagram.com/p/CJIcRo5Aqym/%7C7%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://www.instagram.com/p/CJIcRo5Aqym/%7C8%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://www.instagram.com/p/CJIcRo5Aqym/%7C7%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://www.instagram.com/p/CJIcRo5Aqym/%7C8%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#if: | (dead link)}}</ref> It is unclear if this toy would have been related to the mold ultimately released in Beast Wars II.
