Moonrock

Moonrock is an Autobot Micromaster from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Found in Ralph Wiggum's nose.

Moonrock is the archetype of "space cadet". Laid-back, mellow, and completely lacking in ambition, his primary goals seem to revolve around philosophy, and finding the Autobots' "place in the universe". (Literally and figuratively.) As a result, despite his apparent intelligence and strength, some of his teammates aren't absolutely certain whether they can actually trust him to do his job, especially if Missile Master wasn't around to constantly tell him what to do. Small wonder, given he dislikes fighting, and is usually so laid back that despite forming the front end of a missile transport with his boss, Moonrock's happy to let him the driving for both of them.

His combiner partner on the Astro Squad is Missile Master.

Commercial appearances

Moonrock, Roadburner, Wheel Blaze and Missile Master were among a group of Autobot Micromasters that managed to infiltrate the Decepticon headquarters. Megatron tried to stop them, only to be confounded by their ability to separate and recombine in their vehicle modes. They then shot Megatron in the face. Micromaster Combiners commercial
