Martin and Roland


 * Martin and Roland are two humans (species wise) in the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family

Martin and Roland are two teenagers who are destined to give Humanity a bad name...well, a worse name, anyway.

Generation 1 cartoon
When we first met the future serial killers, Martin and Roland thought it would be a good idea to turn a laser up to maximum power during Mr. Robbins demonstration of it in class. Instead of expelling them and doing us all a favor, Mr. Robbins assigned the two sociopaths to win the science fair with Elise Presser. The three ended up building B.O.T., but they made the mistake of letting Elise put something that they found in the junkyard in B.O.T. Unfortunately, this turned out to be the personality component of the Combaticon Brawl, who proceeded to go on a rampage. The three teens called in the Protectobots, but instead got the Autobots Ironhide, Gears, and Bumblebee. Brawl-B.O.T. proceeded to give the three Autobots a hard time. While waiting outside, Martin and Roland decided it would be a good idea to go into the delapitated building the Autobots had chased B.O.T. into, inadvertantly allowing B.O.T. to escape the trapped elevator he had been stuck in, which allowed Swindle to steal Brawl's personality component back.

Later, the three kids used B.O.T. to destroy the Decepticons newets EI/AD, but at the cost of B.O.T. Elise decided that they could build a new one with whatever junk was lying around the Autobot base...at which point Martin and Roland gagged her and dragged her away.
