Did anyone else notice that the Roadblock Image is called Roadblock, not Heavy Duty - perhaps they have changed their mind and are keeping the Status Quo.

Artist's Comments The Heavy Duty Character in GI JOE. We are going with what was the RoadBlock character (heavy machine gunner) but Hasbro lost the rights to that name. so they are calling him Heavy Duty. Not sure why, there is already a Joe named Heavy Duty. Its confusing, but anyway, here is the design. http://ratkins.deviantart.com/art/RoadBlock-94599765 Last edited by SNAKE EYES; 08-12-2008 at 05:02 PM.. |

That's too bad about the name loss...they couldn't tag him with a rank in front of his name like SGT Flash or SSG Rock n Roll ?
Oh well...so long as he looks like Roadblock and goes by the name "Marvin" I guess this is the new Heavy Duty for this continuity. Back OT, I love the look they're going for melding a bit of classic with modern military gear. Overall I'm liking these designs. |

I don't see how Hasbro managed to lose the rights to the Roadblock name again. They have ACTION FIGURES ON THE SHELF AS WE SPEAK WITH THE ROADBLOCK NAME! Stupid crap like this will keep me from reading/buying the comic. With that said, it looks like ROADBLOCK is wearing his Battle Corps gear.
