In-Hand Images - Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure TAV07 Roadblock

'Roadblock', eh? Clever bastards!

Erh... Even if the targetmaster is better painted than Scoop's Nerf Guns,I find that deco pretty boring and an easy pass. Also, only ONE tragetmaster.

The only reason to get that one is if you missed out on Scoop and you prefer a Constructicon reject. Seriously, Roadblock year the colors but he never made it into the team. He keep wearing the Constructicon's colors, hoping to be part of the legendary team. He's the ultimate and somewhat pathetic fanboy. His targetmaster is actually his therapist, trying to make him give up on his impossible dream and go back to being a normal, well ajusted 'con trooper.

I really like the Scoop mold but the Hasbro version looked ugly in its colors. I think this is a cool alternative, but I lament the fact he only has one targetmaster. Did Takara do a nice looking Scoop? God, my back-collecting is getting expensive. ..

What was wrong with his colors? It's almost identical to his G1 self.



This would have been better homage if they did the G2 colors, given him a double missile launcher. Save the Targetmaster for another exclusive.

one gun? thats a bummer. Anyway I do like Generations Scoop better, but that's nostalgia mostly. Scoop was one of my first Transformers figures, at least he is the 1st one I remember owning.

While accurate, the toy looks tacky and eye-gougingly bright. I think the mold is cool, but I passed over it multiple times in store because I don't really like how bright it is.

Honestly, the colors aren't rich enough (for me). If a 3P made a Scrapper head replacement, I might consider it.

Now all we need is a dump truck to repaint into Dirt Bag

True. But most construction vehicle toys were made bright for kids...ie Tonka trucks.

I get your point, the 80s comics did used a more darker color scheme as their pallet, the new Generations one would have been more realistic as well:

Dare I suggest Energon Demolishor? Take note, Takara.

Scoop mold is awesome. (oh wait, >opinion) Too bad I don't need an evil version of him.

I was going to buy it because I like it, but that doesn't fit your single reason for justifying the purchase. I guess it's fortunate that I don't take your post seriously, because then one of us would look pretty silly.

Don't you think that's a bit harsh?

And Roadblock? More like Scrapper! HA! HA! HA!

Well, he goes right up on the Neo-G2 shelf; makes an alright update for G2 roadblock

Getting Roadblock as my Decepticons need more cannon fodder, sorry, members to help balance out the Autobots. And because the Scoop mould is awesome.

Swoop is incoming too

why does he not have a G2 symbol?
