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 Autobots at close range in either mode. Despite his boorish behavior (and large, clunky body), he's supposedly good at recon missions. His penetrator missiles bore through even the toughest armor before they go kaboom.

Toys

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.

Notes
