Generation 2

  • Roadblock (Auto Roller, 1995)
    • Accessories: 4 missiles
Roadblock transforms into a payloader. As an Auto Roller, a switch on his vehicle-mode back end connects a gearing mechanism attached to his rear axle, which makes him autotransform 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 Autocrusher. It was intended to be used as "Sgt. Hound" in Generation 2, but that release was canceled.


Trivia

  • Roadblock and his fellow Auto Roller Dirtbag were the first toys in Generation 2 to have the new (and short-lived) "Pop-Ups" 3-D cards.
