The Allspark has once again provided a translation of the Transformers United EX packaging bios. This time out they have provided the fandom with a translation of the Choppermaster VS Rollermaster set story and bio. The story chronicles a battle between the two Transformers, while like with Jetmaster, the bios provide some hints at the identities of both Transformers. The stories and bios are also loaded with references to everything from the obvious to the obscure, leaning heavily on the obscure side of things with Firebugs, Microtrailers and Spanner all getting references.
So who are Rollermaster and Choppermaster really? Once again the actual names are not explicity stated, however it is all strongly implied. Rollermaster is stated to have been a former commander of Darkmount, wields a Targetmaster named Spanner, and coincidentally shares tech spec values with the Transformers United Straxus – all together implying that this is Straxus, who has hopped into a new body once again. Meanwhile Choppermaster is a master of chemical and incendiary weapons who was brought on board with Master Class at the recommendation of Jetmaster / Treadbolt – together with the helicopter alternate mode, it is suggested that Choppermaster is Treadbolt’s fellow Sky Patrol Micromaster teamster, Blazemaster (the fact the story title is “In the Blazing Alps, indirectly dropping part of the name, helps)

As well, it might be worth checking out the Allspark thread on the translations; it seems that Hydra was the one who wrote the bios/story text, and he's been giving further tidbits in the thread.
Eg, his deciding to make Rollmaster Straxus in part due to the deco being so similar to United Straxus's paint job.

Hey he gets to travel to a new universe (rather than being dead) and gets a Targetmaster partner and the ability to steal Autobot combiner drones. Not too shabby.
-ZacWilliam, the new function of Arctic Commander is something interesting though. Have to wonder now if Darkmount is in the polar region of Cybertron…
Composite Ghost
Well that sucks for Straxus.
