</div> Roadblock is generally an angry, angry robot. Loud, abrasive and a classic bully, he picks on anyone weaker than he is, even his fellow Decepticons. His favorite activity is slicing, dicing, and smashing <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autobot" title="Autobot">Autobots</a> at close range in either mode. Despite his boorish behavior (and large, clunky body), he's supposedly good at recon missions. His <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Penetrator_missile" title="Penetrator missile">penetrator missiles</a> bore through even the toughest armor before they go kaboom.

• Roadblock (Auto Roller, 1995)
• Accessories: 4 missiles

Roadblock transforms into a payloader. As an <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Auto_Roller" title="Auto Roller">Auto Roller</a>, a switch on his vehicle-mode back end connects a gearing mechanism attached to his rear axle, which makes him <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autotransform" class="mw-redirect" title="Autotransform">autotransform</a>

from vehicle to robot mode when pushed forward, and back when pulled in reverse. His right arm ends in a spring-loaded missile launcher, while his left features a spring-gear-activated spinning circular saw. All four of his missiles can be stowed on his rear wheel wells.

This mold was also used to make <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autocrusher" class="mw-redirect" title="Autocrusher">Autocrusher</a>. It was intended to be used as "<a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hound_%28G1%29#Generation_2_2" title="Hound (G1)">Sgt. Hound</a>" in Generation 2, but that release was canceled.
