High in dietary fiber.

RoughEdge is an Autobot who works as a bounty hunter...as part of the crew of the Decepticon Shadelock. Yeah, we're not sure how this happened.

Fiction

2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon

RoughEdge was part of Shadelock's crew, hired by Starscream as muscle as he tried to capture seven Mini-Cons on Earth. The trio accompanied Starscream through a GroundBridge to confront the Scavengers who had been harboring the Mini-Cons, only to find their quarry had already escaped. RoughEdge accompanied Shadelock to a scrapyard and captured three Mini-Cons, however it turned out they were the wrong ones. Mighty Big Trouble

"Oh, and what do you suggest I do, then? Eat less white bread?"

When a captured Bumblebee escaped from the bridge of Starscream's ship, Shadelock's crew prevented him from leaving the ship—though RoughEdge was taken out by Bee in the process. They flanked Bumblebee on the bridge of the ship as Starscream related how he had escaped the Predacons on Cybertron. Mini-Con Madness RoughEdge and the others guarded the Mini-Cons while Starscream searched for the seventh, and threatened to terminate them when Bumblebee again broke free. When the other Autobots arrived, the battle spilled outside, until the combatants were all rendered unconscious by Starscream using the Dark Star Saber.

When Shadelock, RoughEdge, and Razorhorn came around, they saw Starscream and Optimus Prime dueling, and opted to forget getting paid. Their escape was thwarted by the rest of Team Bee, with RoughEdge being taken down by Drift, Jetstorm, and Slipstream, and they were later secured aboard Optimus's ship for transport. Worthy

Notes

• The Autobot insignias on RoughEdge's shoulders appear to have been scratched through. According to Adam Beechen, these scratches are from years of combat situations, and are not meant to be political statements. However, RoughEdge can't explain that very easily because of a "vocal condition".
• RoughEdge uses an altered version of the character model of the museum guards from "Pilot (Part 1)".
• The emphasized capitalization of RoughEdge's name is an attempt to make it clearer the character's name wasn't 'Roughage', "so people wouldn't make jokes about lettuce".^[1] And then we went and made one anyway.

Foreign names

• Japanese: Roughedge (ラフェッジ Rafejji)
