'''Rotar''' is a [[fictional character]] in the popular [[Masters of the Universe]] franchise.
A member of the Heroic Warriors, he is a part-[[human]], part-[[cyborg|cybernetic]] warrior with no [[leg]]s. His lower body is shaped like a [[spinning top]], enabling him to twist mechanically along the ground at super-speed. This enables him to trick opponents and easily dodge attacks.
==Character history==
As one of the last figures to be released in the 1980s toy line, Rotar is one of the line's lesser-known characters and has received little exposure. The only official medium to feature Rotar is the [[Mattel]] mini-comic "[[Energy Zoids]]". In this story, he is an ordinary Royal guardsman who is critically injured in battle, and his life is saved by [[Man-At-Arms]], who turns him into an energy zoid, using a machine he had designed to create [[robot]] warriors. [[Skeletor]] later steals the machine and uses it to create Rotar's [[evil]] rival [[Twistoid]]. Rotar also makes a cameo in [[Marvel Comics]]' MOTU issue # 12.
Mattel had also designed a [[vehicle]] called the [[Gyratakker]] which was intended to launch Rotar and Twistoid into combat. This vehicle features in the comic, but the toy line was cancelled before it could be released.
