Eh, we already have a decent Roadblock from the Resolute set. I think next one of him we'll see will be a Renegades version. Rock'n'Roll needs an update more.

It does hold merit as Hasbro's big push in the immediate future is Renegades. They aren't likely to release figures for characters that don't appear in the series.
As Renegades is being aired internationally they can't have him appear in the show. Kids want figures of characters they see on the screen. Not of characters they've never heard of. We may see "Benchpress", but he's not really Rock n' Roll. The fact that he's no longer a musician changes his character. Sure he works in a toy collection that way because you just ignore the "Benchpress" and view him as "Rock n' Roll". However, they won't be releasing two versions of the character, one called Rock n' Roll in the states, the other something else overseas because they aren't going to make two TV shows. That should be pretty obvious. Now if we end up seeing a small collector based 30th Anniversary line that has a domestic only release next year, he may make a comeback. I doubt it, though. Until they either clear up the trademark issue, if they even care, or Joe gets reeled back in to a domestic only product, which I don't see happening, I think he's been retired. If Hasbro wanted to rerelease Rock'n Roll, international copyrights would not stop them from doing so. That's why we get Special Ops Jazz, Turbo Track, Nemesis Immortal, the whole Spaz issue that's coming around for TF collectors, any number of Joe characters that now have their rank in front of their codename... I can go on. Last edited by Hicks_Royel; 01-08-2011 at 09:10 PM.. |

I really liked the RoC Roadblock from the WM Outpost Defender. He's one of my favorite figures.

"Are we going to be seeing Rock n' Roll anytime soon. If not, why?" As far as overdubbing, and printing seperate cards, why would they bother? It's extra time, and money for a character that only old timers care about. I've gone on record before as thinking we won't see him in Renegades. If we do, I'll come back here and admit I was wrong.

I like what Weapon X did. It would be great to see something like the v2 R&R. Honestly, though, let Hasbro folks do a new figure and make the guy they wished they could.

I voted RNR becuase I already have my perfect RB in the Resolute one. Plus we know were going to get another RB with the renegades line.

Then I guess they don't want to. Because, by your example, we could have gotten him in RoC. However, we got "Benchpress". Maybe that should be a Q&A question.

I'm not trying to be a dick about this whole Renegades thing, I just think that Hasbro has to want to do something before it happens. At which point, they'll do what it takes to get it done. |

The point is, its a matter of IF Hasbro wants to. That's pretty much the same thing as IF they want to make Cover Girl or IF they want to make Crazy Legs...

The 25th RnR did leave a lot to be desired.
This is my current RnR (work in progress). And because I make the worst customs in the world, it's a RnR head stuck on a Zap body. Flickr 002 by flint071, on Flickr |
