His arm-panels also utilize 3 mm clips, therefore they can be equipped with assorted C joint accessories.

As part of theReveal the Shieldsubline imprintof the 2010Transformerstoyline, Bodyblock would have sported arubsigninstead of a regular factioninsignia.The back of his card still identifies his faction, however.

Bodyblock was intended to be released as part of the fifth Scout Class wave of the 2010Transformerstoy line (along withDemolition RumbleandDownshift), but fell victim to the line's discontinuation by all major US retailers in favor of the then upcomingDark of the Moonline. Unlike the previous wave, which was released in other markets and eventually showed up at US discount stores, the Bodyblock/Rumble/Downshift wave remains unreleased.

This mold was also used to makeGenerationsBrawl.
