And then they stopped fighting to reattach their rotors, before running to catch up with everyone. New Dawn
The Rotor Force soon found themselves, along with the rest of Megatron's troops, allied with the Autobots against the Cybertronian Empire. Manta Ray and Leadfoot, along with Laser Rod Sizzle, fought next to Megatron himself in the battle for Ethos. Escalation!
As the alliance continued, Manta Ray and Leadfoot showed themselves to be quite comfortable working with the Autobots, to Razorclaw's displeasure. Total War! The two eventually considered themselves to be Autobots, to the point that Leadfoot had to save Manta Ray from a vengeful Razorclaw during the final assault of the Swarm. A Rage in Heaven!

Toys
Generation 2
Into rotor shootin' guys
when they get into a battle, they be WINNIN'!
- Rotorforce (1994)
- Leadfoot
- Manta Ray
- Powerdive
- Ransack
- The Rotor Force toys were among the very first new molds in the Generation 2 toy line. Though fairly limited in articulation, they introduced several new alternate modes to the Transformers toyline, such as a twin-pontoon speed boat and a World War II-era fighter plane.
- Each toy has a wind-up "engine" that, when activated, spins the detachable "rotor" disc at high speeds, sending the disc flying to some pretty impressive heights. Perfect for giving the cats something to chase. The engine assembly is fairly large, dominating the vehicle mode in most cases and being a bit unwieldy for the robot to handle.
Notes
Foreign names
