Body Construction
Roadblock was created using the same body mold as General Hawk (1991). The body mold was also used to create General Hawk (v3) (1993) and Roadblock (v7) (1994).
Roadblock's head was reused from Roadblock (v4) (1992) and Roadblock (v5) (1993), and was then reused on Roadblock (v7) (1994).
Versions of Roadblock (v6)
Note that Roadblock (v8) has a file name of "Charles L. Griffith," making that figure a version of "Double Blast" (2001). However, the conventional wisdom is that this was simply an error on Hasbro's part, and that the figure is supposed to be the "Marvin F. Hinton" Roadblock of the other versions.
