| As leader of the [[Micromasters | Micromaster]] [[Race_Car_Patrol|Race Car Patrol]], Roadhandler was assigned to plant mines which would destroy a [[Decepticons|Decepticon]] installation. The purpose of this mission was to stop the [[Decepticons]]' experimentation on their fellow [[Autobots|Autobot]] [[Micromasters]] in the [[Battle_Patrol|Battle Patrol]]. Roadhandler's orders did not permit him to attempt to rescue the [[Battle_Patrol|Battle Patrol]], who were considered a lost cause. Roadhandler disobeyed his orders and liberated his comrades, earning the respect of and an apology from his commander, [[Xaaron]].

| Later, after Roadhandler and his Patrol had travelled to Earth, they accompanied [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)|Optimus Prime]] on a mission to retrieve vital battle plans from [[Chainclaw]], who was serving as a courier. When [[Chainclaw]] was intercepted and captured by the [[Decepticons|Decepticon]] [[Double Dealer]], [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)|Optimus Prime]] prevented Roadhandler from opening fire. Roadhandler argued that [[Chainclaw]]'s situation was hopeless, meaning that his life could be forfeit to protect Autobot secrets; Optimus Prime disagreed, sayign that an Autobot must always consider other options.

| When the [[Race_Car_Patrol|Race Car Patrol]] and [[Off-Road_Patrol|Off-Road Patrol]] were dispatched to [[Earth]] in response to [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)|Optimus Prime's]] request for reinforcements, Optimus was dismayed by their small size. Offended, Roadhandler explained that the [[Micromasters]] had downsized to conserve energy, and would be tough enough to face any Decepticon. For their first terrestrial mission, the Micromasters were assigned to investigate strange [[Decepticons | Decepticon]] activities; these proved to be part of an energy-collecting mission which would have destroyed most of New York City. Roadhandler prevented the Decepticon [[Iguanus_(G1)|Iguanus]] from completing the vital final step of the procedure, befriending [[Cecilia_Santiago|Cecilia Santiago]] in the process.

| In repayment for [[Cecilia_Santiago|Cecilia's]] help, Roadhandler was obligated to appear on her television talk show. In a brief interview, Roadhandler denounced [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)|Optimus Prime]] as out of touch, and noted that Prime had always failed to do what Roadhandler had accomplished in only a few weeks; earning the respect and trust of humans. Roadhandler's fellow guest [[Jake "The Jackhammer" Jackson]], a professional wrestler, used the show to issue a challenge to Roadhandler to a wrestling match. Although this challenge was clearly meant as a publicity stunt, Roadhandler used the opportunity to grant himself a new forum with which to demonstrate [[Autobots | Autobot]] virtues to a larger human audience. Roadhandler became an instant celebrity, complete with his own adoring [[Roadhandler_Fan_Club | fan club]]. Decepticon leader [[Lord_Zarak|Lord Zarak]] decided to sully Roadhandler's image by forcing him to throw a fight with [[Storm_Cloud_(G1)| Storm Cloud]], and held members of Roadhander's fan club hostage to ensure his compliance. Once the humans were freed by Roadhandler's fellow Autobots, Roadhandler's victory over Storm Cloud earned him even more adulation from the humans; but what had happened to his fans proved to him that no human who had befriended an autobot could ever be safe. To distance the humans from himself,Roadhandler made a speech in which he seemed to denounce humanity. He and his fellow Micromasters then left for new adventures in parts unknown.

| Apparently older and tougher than most [[Micromasters]], Roadhandler enjoyed a certain position of authority. When [[Big_Daddy|Big Daddy]] threatened to lead a Micromaster exodus from the [[Autobots]], Roadhandler encouraged him to make sure he did the right thing.
