1993 introduced the weapons tree, a mostly generic selection of previously released weapons, still on the plastic sprues.
Roadblock's gold weapons tree included a shotgun, a rifle, a submachine gun, a machete (see card front below), two missiles and a figure stand.

The 1993 Star Brigade Fighters Assortment (Astro Viper v2, Countdown v2, Ozone v2 and v3, Payload v3, Roadblock v6, and T.A.R.G.A.T. v2) all shared the same card art illustrating the Payload prototype facing off against Astro Viper, and the file cards featured product photography. This was a first for the A Real American Hero (ARAH) 1982-1994 run. These file card photos most likely show hand painted prototypes, known as paint masters.

"The only way I like Cobra is the way I like astronaut food: freeze dried!"
What can you say about a guy who totes a 134-pound machine gun as his personal weapon, and who can whip up the meanest freeze-dried crawdad stew this side of the Milky Way? Not much. You just stay out of his field of fire, and ask for seconds. ROADBLOCK is the man who lays down cover fire when the Joes need to clear Cobra Astro Vipers off a planet's surface. "It's like scraping bugs off your windshield," Roadblock always says. "They're a hassle at first but eventually they get squished and disappear."
