1992 Roadblock: Heavy Machine Gunner v4 (pre-recall)
|
|
Includes: M-90 continuous fire machine gun with infrared scope, advanced rotor machine gun launcher system, spinning tri-blaster propeller ordnance, standard army XF-45 combat knife, figure stand
Originally, Roadblock came with a large black machine gun, a black knife, a blue launcher, a black rotor, and a black figure stand.
Hasbro recalled Roadblock v4 with these accessories because the launcher's clutch could get over-wound. Some collectors speculate that the disk launcher was too powerful, but they are mistaken. To see the launcher in action, check out this YouTube video.
