Wash and Roll
- Wash and Roll is a car wash in the Generation 1 and Movie continuity families.
If your car is dirty, you can take it to Wash and Roll, an automated drive-through car wash.
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
Devised as part of a nefarious scheme by Ratbat, Wash and Roll car wash franchises were set up at a number of locations -- including Witwicky Auto Repairs -- as a front for a gas-siphoning operation. Humans who rode their cars through the car wash were hypnotized by flashing lights and compelled to drive to a Blackrock Industries facility at night and drain their vehicle's gasoline into the Decepticons' storage tanks.
The scheme was eventually undone when Buster Witwicky made it through a Wash and Roll un-hypnotized because he had been distracted and didn't see the flashing lights. It was then revealed that G.B. Blackrock himself had also been hypnotized into collaborating with the Decepticons in this scheme. Buster Witwicky and the Car Wash of Doom
Movie continuity
After arriving on Earth and adopting his disguise, Signal Flare secretly acquired an unspecified position at the Wash and Roll. It is unknown what role a MASER tank might fulfull at a car wash without raising suspicion. He may be completely in hiding, even from the Wash and Roll staff. Regardless, his fellow Autobots are aware of his location, and come to him when they need repairs or refills.[1]
There may be only one Wash and Roll in this continuity, but it is stated to be near the Witwicky home, much like its Generation 1 counterpart.
