What can you say about a guy who totes a 134 pound machine gun as his personal weapon, and who can whip up a mean crawdad stew? Not much. You just stay out of his field of fire, and ask for seconds. ROADBLOCK is the man who lays down the covering fire with his heavy machine gun. That means he makes the enemy keep their heads down when the G.I. Joes are advancing, as well as making them think twice about giving chase when the G.I. Joes are withdrawing! He usually leads his squad into battle while riding the G.I. Joe Patriot.

2. Specially designed "Roadblock" battle knife
3. 16-round, M-90 ammo clips
4. Side-mounted, adversary detection pack
