| Sunbow Cartoon Notes: Voiced by Kene Holliday. Spoke 347 lines in 46 episodes. 11th most frequent speaker. First appeared and spoke in TROC 1. Total appearances: 59. Wore his 1984 outfit through season 1 and his 1986 outfit thereafter. Occasional appearances of Roadblock's first-season uniform in the second season (Doomsday, Soldier, Montana) may be animators' errors.

He wore brighter orange pants, usually with no leg holsters. The 1986 outfit had a darker green vest with a brown belt and right chest strap. His 1988 outfit can just be glimpsed in the Tiger Force commercial. Roadblock was seen operating the APC, Armadillo, AWE Striker, Conquest, HAVOC, JUMP, Killer WHALE, Mauler, RAM, SHARC, SkyStriker, Snow Cat, and VAMP, as well as a Cobra ASP and an ordinary jeep (probably his personal vehicle).
