- Rollout is an Autobot Action Master in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Rollout is "technically" a spy, though you'd never guess it to see him. He has so much vigor for violence that his fellow Autobots think he's dangerous. Brash, loud, obnoxious, and always looking for the biggest gun to make the biggest "boom" on the battlefield.
When not in combat, he constantly acts like he's in the middle of one world-shaking top-secret espionage mission after another, the details of which are super-confidential. (He'd have to kill you if he told you, bucko.) The other Autobots wonder how such a loud-mouthed tool could also be such a successful spy. The truth is that he isn't. His partner Glitch is actually a veritable spy-master and acts as the Penny and Brain to his Inspector Gadget, following him around to suggest the correct action, desperately scrambling to cover his near fatal missteps, covering his tracks, and making sure each mission is completed successfully. Rollout just keeps getting all the credit.
