| 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 Auto Roller from the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
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.

During the Decepticon attack on the Large Hadron Collider, he, Breakdown and Sky-Byte tried to stop a group of Autobots from rescuing the captive Pyro.
