although Heavy Duty has been making the rounds as one of the main newcomers to the Joe Movie, if this is TRUE, I am disgusted by the news!!!!!!
Hasbro stated earlier on their website that GIJOE the Movie was going to be a modern telling of the GIJOE vs. Cobra line from 25 years ago...Heavy Duty didn't make the toy line till the late 90's and couldn't be involved in a classic telling of a Joe tale. Further more Roadblock is a main character in the 25th anniversary line - really annoying, leaving me scratching my head...I hope Brian Goldner could make a change and say Yo!!!, Heavy Duty is a joke compared to Roadblock and Marvin should be in the movie long before Lamont. Goldner being the CEO of Hasbro GIJOE shoud know and understand the importance of this inacuracy... For all the amazing news of the other castings and for the amount of years I have dream't and prayed for this movie...I have now officially threw out my ticket opening night and saying goodbye... If your not going to do this right.....don't do it at all....I get it now, waiting since 1983 for this was the biggest waste of my life soooooo disapointing.... |

Uh, it's one unconfirmed character name. More importantly, the actor cast in the role is a damn good choice no matter what the code-name of the character is. Let's not go jumping off any bridges before the movie even starts shooting, folks.

mountain out of a mole hill. if this movie is successful, there will be one or two more -- plenty of opportunity to introduce Roadblock into the story. every single character does not need to be in the first film, so why does everything always have to be such a big deal?
HD is as much a part of GI Joe as Roadblock, and his inclusion in no way violates some unwritten rule of who should be in the movie. besides, you'll probably hate the character portrayal in the movie and wish he wasn't Roadblock when you see it, and just moan about that. |

Also, FYI...Heavy Duty was in the original ARAH run, regardless of how late in the game he came...so for all intents & purposes, Hasbro is keeping true to the "modern telling of the GIJOE vs. Cobra line from 25 years ago".

Let's be honest, if you want to be anally nitpicky, they should stick to the original 13.
I will be going to see it whatever. As has been said, plenty of time in future movies. |

They obviously sat and talked about Breaker being a superior character over Mainframe and Dial-tone...High-Tech falls in the same boat as Heavy Duty, it was a no brainer to include an original Joe ... Breaker was still a minor character compared to Roadblock - whats the give??? Last edited by deathvalleymachine; 12-22-2007 at 02:35 PM.. |

Still, I know that most of us would pick Roadblock over Heavy Duty anyday.
