Body Construction
Roadblock's entire body was originally used to create the Roadblock (1984). The mold was also used to create Double Blast, Roadblock (v8) (2002), and Roadblock (v12/Night Force) (2004).
Roadblock's legs were also used for Starduster (1987) and the legs and waist were used to create Leatherneck (v4) (2001). The forearms were later used to create Flint (v9/Night Force) (2004).
International Releases
In 1992 in China, Roadblock (version 3) was released carded in China under the name "Barricade."
Versions of Roadblock
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.
