A redeco of Generation 2 Roadblock, Autostinger transforms into a dump truck, and was available in Japan both individually and in a giftset with Big Mos. He has a twin spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm, and a clamping "stun gun" claw on the left. He has an auto-transforming gimmick activated by rolling his rear wheels; roll forward to go to robot mode, and back to dump truck. A switch on his back end separates the gears of the gimmick, allowing him to roll freely in either mode.

This mold was also intended to be used for "General Optimus Prime" in Generation 2, but that release was cancelled.

Trivia

• All of the Beast Wars II Autorollers have 2-D card art, rather than the CGI model art made for the entire rest of the line.
