Released in April 2020 as part of Wave 1, the debut of Roadblock in Classified was based on his 1986 deco and uniform. Hasbro decided to arm him with a giant sci-fi laser gun, which a lot of fans are not really big fans of at all in the slightest.
Roadblock comes with the following gear and accessories: a heavy artillery blaster with removable ammo box and a dagger. Roadblock's field variant differences were as follows: dark gray/black set of weapons instead of silver, gold armor on boots and knee changed to black, pants changed to dark gray, gloves repainted gray and black and a slightly darker and more subdued color deco on his vest. **NOTE**For the first wave of Classified, Hasbro ended up re-releasing 4 of the first 5 figures (minus Destro) in February 2021 with all-new and improved paint decos. Both the original and field variants are included on these polls. https://hasbropulse.com/products/g-i...adblock-figure Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

The weapon was the only real major letdown with this figure. I prefer the deco without the gold highlights.

I gave it a 5. I'm not a big fan of the v2 version of Roadblock, or this modern take on it. I also didn't like the gold parts or the dumb-looking weapon. I would give a 6 to the variant, for eliminating the gold, but since there isn't a separate vote for that one, 5 it is.
When I started collecting Classified, the Heavy Artillery version had already been released, so I didn't even bother buying this one. Or the CI version, for that matter.

I liked the Repaint version better.
Overall though, I still don't like it as much as Artillery or Cobra island Roadblock. |

I gave it a 4. I liked the v2 Roadblock jacket... I think it was pretty cool. But this figure suffers so much from 'first wave syndrome'. I bet if the design team too another stab at v2 Roadblock, they could knock it out of the park.
Horrible headsculpt too. Unless it's for someone not named Roadblock. |

I like the 2nd version. However, if I knew about Amazon RB, I wouldn't have gotten this.

I gave my Roadblock a touch-up - repainted his pants a lighter grey, repainted his boots shiny black, gave him black gloves, painted his upper arms and neck and chest white, repainted his belt and details on his vest as well as giving him Heavy Artillery Roadblock's head. I also got the Grid-Iron load-out for him (not pictured here).
For me, it greatly improved the figure and made him fairly accurate to the '86 version of RB. I give the stock Hasbro version a rating of 6. With the paint improvements and Grid-Iron load-out he is a solid 8 I think.

He was OK. I didn't mind the sci fi elements, but the Railgun just didn't have any OOMPH to it. No character. Also it was one of the weakest of the early headsculpts. He has been totally replaced on my shelf, but i was glad to have him at the time.
