Roberto Soto, known by his ring name Invader II, was a Puerto Rican professional wrestler who was part of The Invaders with Jose Huerta Gonzalez. Although competing primarily in the Puerto Rican-based World Wrestling Council with Gonzalez, Soto would also wrestle in International World Class Championship Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance during the 1980s.

In 1988, he was among those present when wrestler Bruiser Brody was stabbed to death by Soto's tag team partner Jose Gonzalez while at a WWC event in San Juan, Puerto Rico and interpreted for American wrestlers after police officers arrived on the scene.

Competing in Japan during the 1990s, he would later return to the WWC teaming with Invader III in a feud against Gonzalez. However, their alliance was short lived with Soto eventually defeating Invader III in a mask vs. mask match at WWC Anniversary on August 1, 1998.
