TheDynamo Roller is amain weapon in theSplatoon series, manufactured byAmmo Knights. It is a heavyweightroller with increased power and range, at the cost of slowness and high ink consumption.
The Dynamo Roller can cover turf while in motion and can fling a large amount ofink at medium range. Compared to theSplat Roller, this roller is much slower but covers a larger area while rolling and throwing ink. It has the greatest range of all theroller class weapons, but sacrifices speed; it rolls slowly when pushed, and it takes over a second to fling ink. The slow ink-flinging windup animation leaves the player vulnerable when attacking, as no other actions may be performed while preparing the fling, and it is not possible to cancel a fling once initiated. The Dynamo Roller'smobility is low, so speed is impaired when it is equipped, even when not attacking with the weapon.
Appearance
The Dynamo Roller has a metal handle that is a light bronze color inSplatoon or duller bronze inSplatoon 2 and black. The middle of the handle is shaped a bit like a vase and has two short, straight tubes running in front of and behind it. These tubes change color to match the user'sink. The roller part, like allrollers', changes color to match the user's ink. When out of ink, it displays a polka dot pattern. On both sides of the roller are silver-colored metal attachments that connect to each other via a bronze-colored stick of metal. The left attachment connects the roller to the handle.

TheDynamo Roller is a roller I designed myself upon using my granddad's blueprints! It wound up with incredible power, but the dynamo motor does weigh it down a bit... oh, well. Anyway, ink turf with theSprinkler and track enemies with theEcholocator, and you'll be winning in no time!(NA)

Using the blueprints as a starting point, Sheldon has rigged up a motor to theroller base. Cumbersome to use, but delivers a powerful burst of ink when swung.

TheDynamo Roller is a roller I designed myself using a power generator for high strength and long range! The motor does weigh it down a smidge, but theInk Mines wait until someone gets too close before splashing ink everywhere! And theSting Ray can take down enemies from a comfortable distance! The set appeals to those too stubborn to give up inked turf.

TheDynamo Roller is aroller I designed myself using a power generator for high strength and long range! Now, I wasn't able to reduce the weight on the motor as much as I would have liked, but this thing can REALLY spill someink, if I do say so myself. Pair it with theSprinklersub, and you can push forward to apply max pressure to the other team. And what will your team be doing, you ask? Why, relaxing and enjoying sweet, sugary sips from yourTacticooler, of course. You'll be the most popular teammate around!
“
For the advanced user, behold theDynamo Roller! This heavyweightweapon swings more slowly than other rollers but offers more inkpower. Horizontal and vertical swings practically blanket the area with ink, making it a truly formidable flinger! And roller. It's still a roller.
AgainstSalmonids, the Dynamo Roller has the highest DPS (Damage Per Second) at 3000 when rolling.
The horizontal swing of the Dynamo Roller will fill more of the special gauge than its vertical swing.
The range of the Dynamo Roller's vertical swing surpasses the range of both theSquiffer andBamboozler series, the Squiffers by a good deal, and the Bamboozlers by a few units.
