Roadjammers

The Roadjammers are a fictional group of four humans in Marvel Comics' Transformers comic. They only appeared in one issue, number #46.

Fictional biography

The Roadjammers work as vigilantes and bounty hunters, catching criminals and giving them to the police for a reward. Originally, the team just consisted of Felix and Skunge, who worked as a pair. Felix is a technical genius and the mastermind of the team, while Skunge adds brawn to his brainwork.

Later, an offer from the Z Foundation caught the interest of not only Felix and Skunge, but also of Road-Hog, a gangsta-styled African American who loves motorcycle riding and Burn-Out, a psychopath obsessed with destruction. Despite some initial arguments, the four teamed up as the Roadjammers.

The Z Foundation gave the Roadjammers the task of incapacitating and capturing all Transformers they could find, and equipped them with "jammers", small electronic devices that disrupt a Transformer's circuitry, causing it to lock in place. The Roadjammers were able to capture three Autobots, but when they brought them over to the Z Foundation, they also discovered three powered-down Decepticons inside the foundation's headquarters. The Roadjammers captured the Decepticons too, but when the Z Foundation discovered this, they unveiled themselves to be a Decepticon plot to defeat the Autobots and conquer the Earth.

Lord Zarak, the leader of the Z Foundation, called in Scorponok to kill the Roadjammers, but the Roadjammers used the Transformers they had captured against him, defeating Scorponok and being able to escape.^[1] Despite Felix's promise at the end of the issue: "The Roadjammers will return!", the Roadjammers were never seen again.
