Autostinger


 * Autostinger is a Predacon from the Beast Wars II portion of the Beast Era continuity family.

The leader of the Auto-Rollers, Autostinger follows Galvatron loyally because the Predacon leader saved him from execution long ago. A former mercenary of great reknown across the cosmos, Autostinger is professional in every sense.

Beast Wars II

 * Autocrusher (Auto-Roller, 1998)
 * Japanese ID number: D-18, VS-18


 * 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.
