_{This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.}

Rollbar is a smart and skilled combatant, but he has no aspirations of greatness – taking on a leadership role is something he just doesn't consider. He's perfectly happy to keep following orders and do a good job.

Toys

Age of Extinction

Almost Unique

• Breakout Battle (Platinum Edition, 2014)
  • Accessories: Pistol, rifle (combine to form larger rifle)

Platinum Edition Rollbar is a redeco of Generations Skids, and transforms from a robot to a generic hatchback in the white and purple color scheme of Shane Dyson's car from Age of Extinction. Rollbar comes packed with along with a more screen-accurate redeco of Evasion Mode Optimus Prime and a redeco of Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Crankcase as a Vehicon.

Rollbar sports two different tampographed sponsor decals, both of which that are callbacks to the Alternators line: "Cybertronian Radial" was a fictional brand of tires introduced and popularized by the Alternators line, and "Dinotron Racing Fuel" was previously used as a sponsor marking for Alternators Decepticharge.

The package art for the Breakout Battle set suggests Rollbar was originally intended to have the pretooled head used by Generations Crosscut, which bears an increased resemblance to that of his One-Step Changer toy. Curiously, the stock photo of the toy shows the figure with both the smaller nudge gun in one hand, and the larger combined rifle (made up of the smaller gun and the larger gun) in the other.

• Rollbar (Deluxe, 2014)
  • Accessories: Pistol, rifle (combine to form larger rifle)

The Rollbar toy from the Breakout Battle set was also released with no known changes as a single-carded Toys"R"Us Japan exclusive.

• Rollbar (One Step Changers, 2014)

Rollbar transforms in one step from a robot to a Chevrolet Sonic RS, performed by splitting the car down the middle and flipping it around itself. Inexplicably, the robot mode of the toy is based on Robots in Disguise X-Brawn.

Notes

• Rollbar is based on Shane Dyson's non-transforming Sonic RS from the Age of Extinction film, which was a coy little red herring for a Transformer when it spent it's first few moments of screen time without a visible driver.
