Bodyblock (Universe)
From MediaWiki
- Bodyblock is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family (via the 2008 Universe line).
Bodyblock is a member of the Landslide Team. Bodyblock is well-named, he's a massive block of mechanical muscle that's slow in every sense of the word. He seems to be a quintessential dumb lug, making up in strength what he lacks in quickness and brain-power. None of his other attributes (combat skills, firepower, etc...) is too shabby really, but it's his great strength and slowness of mind and body that seem his defining features. [1]

Universe (2008)
- Mini-Con Class 12 Pack (Multi-pack, 2008)
- Series: Armada Series
- Bodyblock is a redeco of Classics Grindor, transforming into a camper-covered pickup truck with oversized "monster" tires.
- He was originally only available as part of a Kmart exclusive Mini-Con 12-pack with Backstop, Blight, Boltflash, Brimstone, Cloudraker, Flatfoot, Heavytread, Knockdown, Makeshift, Skyhammer, and Suppressor.
- Bodyblock (Mini-Con, 2009)
- Bodyblock was later sold on an individual cardback in discount store chains like Big Lots! and Family Dollar in the US (at the cost between $3 to the ridiculously overpriced $5), though some reports came in of Mini-Cons from this assortment also showing up (briefly) at Walmart stores.
- This version is identical to the multi-pack release.
- Bodyblock (Mini-Con, 2010)
- In the UK, all twelve Mini-Cons from the original set were released in individual blind-packed bags with "energon fizzy sweets" candies. Bodyblock is one of the few who are different from their previous releases; this version of Bodyblock has orange leg-struts rather than the original's reddish-brown.
Notes
- The stock photography of Bodyblock's vehicle mode on the back of the 12-pack box is lacking the Mini-Con insignia on his roof. The single-carded version had new photography, this time with the symbol where it's supposed to be.
