I don't know if ARAH made Heavy Duty the cousin, but from JvC (due to trademarks), Heavy Duty became the big, black, machine gunning star. By the time they could use the Roadblock name, HeavyD was pretty much in place. As well, I think it was in Spy Troops where HeavyD uses grenades to cook. He doesn't rhyme and I think there's even a reference that HD is RB's cousin! Going by the bastard era canon, HD can't cook nearly as well as his rhymin cousin!

Oh well.
