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.

You only fill one out of two criteras to get it?

Huzzah!

It's beautiful and I want it in my greedy little hands already!

TFP Ultra Magnus with a show accurate forge!

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?

Because there isn't one in Aligned (yet)? Transformers Adventure is directly based on Robots in Disguise 2015, which is a sequel to Prime. Even though we may get some G1 guys in the Adventure line, this Roadblock isn't one of them.

I dont think a symbol is necessarily linked to a toyline. The generations toyline had several different symbols for instance.

I was actually referring to fiction (except for the G1 guys part).

I've also noticed that only RiD 2015 molds have those scanable insignia, not the redecos of older molds.

Yes Takara give me more obscure decepticons to fill the classic ranks!

It depends on the type of toy line. Despite how it looks, Adventure is still a cartoon line, not a multigenerational line like Generations, Universe, United, or whatever. If he was sold as a Legends figure (and I don't understand why he wasn't) he most likely would have had a G2 symbol, but as an Adventure figure he has to stick to their specific lore.

Actually, Roadblock does have a scan code insignia. It's on the top of his shovel in alt mode, not in the middle of his robot mode chest where you see instead a standard Decepticon tampograph.

They have them.

The Japanese symbols also have added blue to the broken ring where Hasbro's are just red or purple.

Kanrabat likes to slap the >opinion tag on others yet he likes to tell other people what to do based on his "facts".

Want some lotion on that sore spot of yours?

I >opinion people only when they say things like "Everything is crap" and just leaving it like that.

would you do the same if I said this:

All prices of the platinum sets for 2015 released so far are completely INSANE.

I am leaving it at that.

"Prices" are a non issue. It's just a single element. (Still the prices ARE indeed insane compared to the previous years.)

However, if it was something like "All Platinums sets this years are garbage" then allow me to sneer.

But heh, look like things like:

Deserves praise and respect.

*Playing Dope's "Everything Sucks" just for Kanrabat*

but seriously, i do agree if your gonna say something is bad, a reason helps, and Kanrabat did give a reason, so im cool with it

Maybe someday they'll redeco him a darker shade of green, call him Autocrasher, and include a purple repaint of Scoop's other Targetmaster. Either way, Roadblock's one of the few toys in this line I might actually pick up; repaint new Targetmaster molds every color of the rainbow, so long as we get more, MORE, MORE!!!

Yep, I want Roadblock. Gonna go just fine wth my TFSS Scourge for Post-Megatron bad guys

Does anyone know if the TAV logos work for a Japanese version or is TakTom just copying the style?

I really feel like this shoulda been one of the Prowl Table Flipping moments from IDW. Just syin'

It's such a shame that Takara left Roadblock's Targetmaster fully nameless.

Ugly cartoon heads, poor articulation, less details than previous deluxe figures, smaller size than previous deluxe figures, over simplified transformations, ugly emblems are reason enough? I thought it's quite obvious without pointing it out. No need to respect my post Karanbat, it was a short thought blurb typed on the can. I apologize that I didn't feel like writing an essay while pushing out a dookie. Wasn't even going to reply until the hilarious irony came up in Karan's post. The smell of hypocrisy already assuaged my "sore spot", no need to be concerned.

Speaking of, Roadblock had a giant buzzsaw strapped to his wrist... I;m gonna need another Arms Micron now...
