| The name or term "Roadblock" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Roadblock (disambiguation). |
- Roadblock is a Decepticon from the Adventure portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Roadblock (ロードブロック Rōdoburokku) is a powerful Decepticon fighter who typically teams up with Greejeeber on missions, but why they do so is anyone's guess. The pair really don't work well together, as Roadblock is slow both physically and mentally, which quickly gets on Greejeeber's nerves.
He's backed up by his tiny partner Targetmaster, though frankly those two don't get along either, Roadblock seeing the diminutive blaster-bot as a lesser life-form.

- Roadblock (2015)
- Release date: March 21, 2015
- ID number: TAV 07
- Accessories: "Targetmaster" partner
- Part of the initial wave of Takara's Adventure product (their version of the Robots in Disguise series), Roadblock is a redeco of Generations Deluxe Class Autobot Scoop in Constructicon colors, transforming into a payloader. He comes with his partner, Targetmaster, who transforms into his gun. Targetmaster can be hand-held or mounted on any of the 5 mm holes on Roadblock's armor.
- Although the original Scoop sculpt came with two Targetmaster partners, Roadblock only has one. Although both the original version of Targetmaster (Caliburst) and Scoop featured parts cast in yellow plastic, they are not the same color and thus not from the same sprue (hence why they are different plastic colors between Roadblock and Targetmaster), and therefore, why one figure was redecoed and not the other (Holepunch) remains a mystery.
- His scannable insignia is on the top of his scoop bucket. Scanning the sticker unlocks Roadblock in the Transformers Chronicle checklist app. In-package, his badge was able to be scanned, but this was restricted by a dummy sticker.
- This sculpt got its other Targetmaster partner back when it was retooled into BotCon 2015 Sgt. Hound.
Notes
[edit]- Roadblock's package art and stock photos depict him with his nose in green, so as to more closely match the Aligned cartoon aesthetic of 'helmet noses', but the final figure paints it silver like the rest of his face.
- He's a redeco of Scoop in Constructicon colors. Foreshadowing?
