Quotes

Sheldon's Introduction This beauty is the Tempered Dynamo Roller. It simply oozes style! Check out the sweet burnt effect. The addition of Seekers has really improved this set's manoeuvrability and ability to pressure the front lines. When you've got 'em on the back foot, BAM! Killer Wail! This set suits battlers who like to pile on the pressure!

Meet the Tempered Dynamo Roller. This heavy-weight roller gained mobility to quickly run up to the front lines by adding the Seeker as a sub weapon. The quiet but tasteful color tone might lull your opponents into a sense of security before BAM! Killer Wail! Pile on the pressure!

Trivia

• At 36,800 cash, the Tempered Dynamo Roller is the most expensive weapon in Splatoon. This surpasses the highest possible cost for a piece of gear by about three times.
• This weapon was absent from Splatoon 2, likely in favor of the Kensa Dynamo Roller being the new third variant of the Dynamo Roller.

Etymology

Tempered Dynamo Roller is derived from Dynamo and Roller, plus the word Tempered. Dynamo is a type of electrical generator, which the Tempered Dynamo Roller seems partly based on. Tempered refers to tempering, a process in metallurgy that is used to increase the toughness of iron-based alloys, explaining the hue of the metal.

ダイナモローラーバーンド Dainamo Rōrā Bāndo means Dynamo Roller Burned. Burned refers to the fact that it is a Dynamo Roller that has been burnt to be tempered.
