Well, you don't have to read MTMTE #10 first, but its probably preferable if you do.

When going over what he should look like with James, he mentioned he wanted him to transform into a prisoner transport. With that in mind I started to really think about how big he should be. Finally I decided that he needed to be bigger then Orion Pax. He has a few similar design aspect as Pax has. I wanted that since they are a team/partners at the police station.' http://www.fullmetalhero.com/content/mtmte...ay-roller-5195/ This post has been edited by Bass X0: Oct 31 2012, 05:31 AM |

To be fair, only for the first panel of the book and many people will have read the preview and not even noticed.

QUOTE I don't understand. Why's Roller a Transformer now? 'Cause it's fun? Although, the idea that he's storing prisoners in his legs suggests some very aggressive mass-shifting. He's either huge or they're going after micromasters. |

This probably settles that the Roller component of Optimus is just named after this guy...especially since the Roller component has been all-but-forgotten for the past few years of the comic...
But if it IS this guy, it would seem to suggest that Roller is the entire trailer, not just the little car. |

I for one, see the design as War Within Optimus Prime's design, only without the traditional Prime elements and colors.

I think Breacher makes a good Roller; the head is even vaguely like a Prime's with the faceplate down. Blue with little antennae.

IDW Roller looks a hell of a lot like Star Convoy's Micromaster Trailer. |
