Blueberry bear!

• Roadtrap (Legends Class, 2018)
  • Japanese ID number: PP-30
  • Japanese release date: September 29, 2018

• Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro), Robby Musso (concept artist)

Part of the second wave of Power of the Primes Legends Class figures, Roadtrap transforms from robot to SUV and back. He can also form the pants of Battletrap. His packaging artwork depicts him with a blaster which the toy proper does not have. Due to a shared plug system, the Battletrap components can also connect to the appropriate halves of Siege Skytread.

Like most Legends Class figures from the Power of the Primes subline, Roadtrap can carry a Prime Master (or Titan Master) while in vehicle mode. In his case, they attach at what would be his chest in robot mode. In an undocumented play feature, this means he can mount a Prime Master-equipped Matrix of Leadership on his chest.

Roadtrap and the rest of his wave were released at retail in Singapore, and subsequently in the United Kingdom, the Philippines, and later, the United States, before Hasbro even acknowledged their existence, let alone solicited them to online retailers.

Notes

• Roadtrap's head design is reminiscent of the head Battletrap sported in his Marvel comics (US, UK and Regeneration One) appearances, which differed considerably from his original toy design.
• Roadtrap had the preliminary name Speedtrap.^[1]
