Roller car

This article is about a character or concept that lacks a name, but has an official term or designation. For more information, see Help:Nameless.

This article is about Motormaster's drone unit. For Optimus Prime's drone unit, see Roller (G1). For a list of other meanings, see Roller (disambiguation).

Roller car is an accessory from the Generation 1 continuity family.

The roller car is Menasor's brassi... chest armor in this picture.

Motormaster has a third "ramp" alternate mode. Roller car is just the right size to drive up and down that ramp. When the Stunticons combine to form Menasor it takes its place as the chest-piece.

It is presumably a drone.

Toys

Generation 1

• Motormaster (Stunticon, 1986)
  • Team ID number: S5
  • Japanese ID number: D-50

Roller car was included with Generation 1 Motormaster, and is scaled to drive down his ramp in "base" mode. The Japanese release also includes a launcher mechanism to propel the roller car, but it was cut out for Western markets. The roller car is also combiner kibble, forming the chest piece for Menasor.

• Menasor (Giftset, 1986)
  • Japanese ID number: D-55

Motormaster and the roller car were also available as part of a Menasor giftset.

Generation 2

• Motormaster (Stunticon)
  • Team ID number: S1

A purple roller car would have been included with Generation 2 Motormaster, but this release was canceled.

Your bargaining posture is highly dubious. Proceed on your way to oblivion. This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

Notes

• The roller car was left out of almost all Generation 1 fiction, including Motormaster's toy bio. Unlike Trypticon's Full-Tilt, the roller car was even left off Menasor's character model in both the Generation 1 cartoon and Marvel comics. The term "roller car" comes from Motormaster's instruction sheet.
