Skyhammer and Roadblock make up the Ultra Pretenders, a series of highly sought after Transformers. The concept of the "Ultra" pretender is that there is an outer and inner shell. The outer shell conceals the inner shell that fits in the outer shell, the inner shell then conceals the robot. Think of it as a Transformer that wears two coats, instead of the Pretenders normal one.

Skyhammer and Roadblock are quite challenging to find MISB, and as some of the last Transformers prior to the Action Master & Micromaster series, they tend to surface rarely in MISB form. Skyhammer's robot, missiles, & bottom of the vehicle is also made of extremely brittle gold plastic, making him chip easily (roadblocks robot is the same). So finding a nice one unbroken is a challenge.

Check out the back of box pic for an illustration of Skyhammer and Roadblock going at it!

This piece was obtained from a collector who bought one of every Transformer made in the 80's, and decided to part with the collection.
