Fiction

Robotmasters online comic

Master manipulator teamed up with master manipulator? That's WAY more interesting than Lio Convoy teaming up with Optimus Prime... so of course it only happens ONCE.

Doubleface participated in the confusing war over solitarium, where he employed a special communications system called "Shadow and Bright".

Doubleface acted as a source of intelligence for the Autobots, alerting them to a large supply of solitarium on Chaar. When Road Rocket led Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal to a crevasse filled with solitarium crystals, they were ambushed from above by Beast Megatron and Doubleface, who was revealed to be in collusion with the Decepticons. They detonated the crystals around the Autobots.

Fortunately, Primal managed to shield the three from the explosion with a huge slab of rock, but they were unable to prevent the Decepticons from making off with a huge load of Solitarium. Defend the Solitarium!

Okay, thumb war!

Road Rocket and Doubleface found a piece of Solitarium at the same time, though each claimed they saw it first. The Solitarium was located across a gorge, so the two revved up their engines to see who could cross it in their motorcycle modes. Unfortunately, Doubleface miscalculated, falling down the gorge, while Road Rocket was victorious. Robotmasters Vol. 4

Doubleface joined the other Decepticons in gloating over the success of Reverse Convoy's trap for the Autobot leaders. Their joy was short-lived, as Lio Convoy and another Optimus Prime arrived to save their comrades. United, the Autobot leaders blasted away the Decepticons with their combined energies.

We've come full circle or something.
Doubleface, a purple, gray, and yellow redeco (and minor retooling, from changes made to the mold for a Japanese Microman version) of Road Pig, was released in Japan in 2005, transforming into a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide touring motorcycle with electronic light-up tailpipe/"blaster" weapon. It featured a fixed Decepticon logo, and was the second and last appearance of this character in Japan as of 2006.
There is a minor variation to this toy; though both versions feature an "electronics warning" on the robot mode's butt, some versions use a clear-plastic sticker, while others have the text tampographed there.
This mold was also used for Robots in Disguise Axer. It was planned for use in Generation 2 as Soundwave, but that toy never saw release.
