“Roll With It!”
    —Rocky Roll's official catchphrase

Rocky and Roll are a rock digger and a sentient boulder, together known as Rocky Roll. Together, they are one of the Earth core Skylanders in Skylanders: Trap Team.

Character Development

Rocky Roll started out as the now-elusive enemy, Metal Mage. When the concept of a combining attack pattern was reworked for Rocky Roll instead, various challenges were in the way of making Roll's transformations appealing and seamless; but with limitations such as adding a roll attack, only one transformation through boulders made it in. Forms 2 and 3 would've transformed Roll into a walking tank with four legs, then and a jumping giant leg, respectively, and the latter was a reference to Big Eye from the Mega Man franchise.[1]

Background

Personality

Rocky Roll loves helping others. There isn't anything they wouldn't do for their pals. Their friendship is as solid as a rock![2]

Biography

Rocky was a rock digger who wanted to make a difference, and Roll was a boulder that wanted to see the world. The two of them had known each other since they were young and in mining school together. They had shared the same goal – making the sacred journey to Peek’s Peak, where it was said that one’s destiny reveals itself. But time went on, and it wasn’t until many years later that they found each other traveling the same path towards the mythical peak. The connection that was established years before had finally taken shape, and the two realized they were meant to journey far and wide together – as Rocky Roll. After several adventures together, they met Master Eon by chance, who recognized that their connection was special. Now as an awesome Skylander duo, Rocky Roll will crush anything that threatens Skylands!

Story

Light in the Dark

Rocky Roll was one of the Skylanders that accompanied Gearshift to combat Pain-Yatta's army of candy warriors. As they were cornered by the candy army within the fortress, Rocky Roll and the other Skylanders served as Skylands' last line of defense, battling Pain-Yatta's army with all of their might. The candy army soon fell to pieces just as the Skylanders were becoming overwhelmed (thanks to the actions of the Light and Dark Skylanders in their fight against Pain-Yatta), earning the heroes their victory.

Trivia

  • Rocky Roll, along with Eye-Brawl, Fright Rider and Eye-Small, are currently the only Skylanders who are composed of two different characters in a symbiotic relationship.
    • However, Rocky Roll are the only Earth Skylanders while the other three are all Undead.
  • Rocky is one of the many one-eyed Skylanders.
  • Rocky Roll and Gearshift are the only characters to have the same number for all stats.
  • Rocky Roll's name is probably a combination of "Rock and Roll" and "Rocky Road" (a type of ice cream).
  • Without Roll, Rocky shares his name with a Stone Golem from Terrafin Battles the Boom Brothers.
  • "Rocky Boxing" is the only upgrade of the "Rolling Rumbler" upgrade path that is not a catchphrase of a Skylander ("Roll With the Punches" is the same as Night Shift's catchphrase and "Let's Roll!" is the same as Roller Brawl's catchphrase).
  • If a player selects a hat for Rocky Roll, Rocky's miner helmet gets replaced. However, Rocky's original headgear can be seen along with another hat when placed on the portal and shown in his character in-game profile.
  • Roll resembles a Geodude from Pokémon while in Bounce Mode.
  • Rocky is one of the shortest Skylanders, along with Short Cut, Blastermind, and Smash Hit.
    • If Rocky, without Roll, is considered the smallest Skylander as of Imaginators.
  • Rocky Roll is voiced by Billy West, who also voices the SWAP Force Skylanders Freeze Blade, and Fire Kraken; the Life Skylander Food Fight. West also voiced Sparx the 2007 video game, The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night.
  • When driving a vehicle in Skylanders: SuperChargers, Roll will sometimes go missing and sometimes overlap with Rocky.
