Hero Roller Replica



The Hero Roller Replica is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. It is the hero-themed variant of the Splat Roller, designed to look like the Hero Roller used by agents to fight Octarians.
Appearance
In both games, the Hero Roller Replica is designed to look identical to the Hero Roller. In Splatoon, the Hero Roller Replica is mainly black with blue lights. Despite functioning identically to the Splat Roller, the Hero Roller Replica has a visual design that is more like the Carbon Roller. In Splatoon 2, the Hero Roller Replica looks identical to the Level 1 Hero Roller, and is mainly yellow with a black ink tank that has blue lights on it. It again looks reminiscent of the Carbon Roller despite functioning like the Splat Roller.

Sheldon's Introduction
The Hero Roller Replica is a specially designed roller with the same stats as the standard Splat Roller. This weapon came about after I made a breakthrough in my research and managed to create the ultimate weapon! Sadly, it never made it to mass production because the guys at the factory couldn't wrap their heads around my advanced schematics... So instead they just slapped some shiny parts on a standard roller and called it the Hero Roller Replica. Give it a shot sometime! |

Trivia
- Callie's main weapon is shown to be the Hero Roller as it appears in Splatoon or its replica, likely from her time in the role of Agent 1. This is shown in her artwork for the Go all out! vs. Focus on healing Splatfest.
- The Hero Roller's design in Splatoon 2 closely resembles the design of the Carbon Roller despite the weapon sharing identical stats to the Splat Roller.
