Roadblock (G2)
| 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.

Fiction
Wings Universe
Roadblock was part of the "second generation" of Transformers created on Earth, and among those who turned to evil and joined the Decepticon Syndicate under Clench's command. 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 Spark. He fought with Meanstreak, whose guns failed to penetrate his thick armor plating, but was defeated after his opponent developed some kind of super ramming powers thanks to forestonite.

Generation 2
- Roadblock (Auto Roller, 1995)
- Accessories: 4 missiles
- Roadblock transforms into a mining loader. 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 Autocrasher. It was intended to be used as "Sgt. Hound" in Generation 2, but that release was canceled.
