| 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 Transformers Adventure portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Roadblock (ロードブロック Rōdoburroku) 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 (Deluxe, March 21 2015)
- ID number: TAV 07
- Accessories: Targetmaster
- Part of the initial wave of Adventure product, Roadblock is a redeco of Generations Autobot Scoop, 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 5mm holes on Roadblock's armor.
- His scannable insignia is on the top of his scoop bucket.
Notes
- Roadblock is an homage to the Generation 2 Auto Roller of the same name.
- Although the original Scoop sculpt came with two Targetmaster partners, Roadblock only has one. The most likely explanation for this is that the other figure (Holepunch) was mostly cast in a plastic color not shared by Scoop himself or the other figure, thus making it easy to omit the figure (for, say, budget reasons) without ending up with lots of excess plastic parts.
