Mighty robots! Road Ranger is in the left-center.
Road Ranger is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Road Ranger is a traveller from another dimension, who has taken the form of a Autobot and infiltrated their ranks in the hopes of finding the solution to a problem that plagues his home.


(Note: Road Ranger is clearly intended to be the character from the Tonka GoBots line. His name does not appear in any of the final product material; it only appeared in an early Photoshopped promotional image on the e-Hobby website. The individual toys' names were dropped when Takara's legal department became concerned at how Bandai --the company that made the toys that would become the Tonka GoBots-- would react to the names being used, despite the minimal chance of provable trademark infringement on Takara's part.)

  • G1 GoBots (Multi-pack, 2004)
Japanese ID number: 84
Road Ranger was only available in an e-Hobby-exclusive 6-pack with Bad Boy, Bug Bite, Path Finder, Small Foot and Treds. He is a redeco of the Mini Vehicle Huffer, transforming into a cabover-syle semi truck.
This mold was the basis for the 1986 retool Pipes.
