Variations
No variations of Roadblock (v8) are known to exist.
Body Construction
This mold was used to create the original Roadblock (1984), Roadblock (v3/Tiger Force) (1988), Double Blast (2001), and Roadblock (v12/Night Force) (2004).
Roadblock's legs were also used for Starduster (1987). The legs and waist were also re-used to create Leatherneck (v4) (2001). The forearms were later used to create Flint (v9/Night Force) (2004).
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.
