I was really looking forward to Barricade when i saw the prototype pics, but now that i see the final producht......yuck.

The proportions are way off, skinny legs, narrow chest, awkward paint aps and that Frenzy figure looks like the skeleton of a deceased wrestler.

Whoever moaned about Barricade's chest being one solid piece; how about Bumblebee? His chest is one solid piece, just with extra bits stuck on it!

Like them both, but only one issue; is it me or do all Mudflap figures look ever so slightly Orange? I haven't got the Deluxe for that reason...But now that the HA looks brighter than it should, I may have to consider!

(Look again at Barricade's colors; Frenzy is the same color as the 'off' colors on Barricade, so it will probably look more gray in person...By the way, when it it coming out?)

Barricade looks so simple, but his alt mode looks awesome. Probably will pick this one up.

I have to agree with everyone else about Barricade and as much as i really liked him in the first movie and somehow didnt make it the ROTF (which i think is BS) but something is not right about him. I have a strong possability that he is somewhat mistransformed and about the odd looking greyish/brown color on his arms and legs does make him look like crap. But you click on this link:

As you can see he has hands and grey/brown color is also not shown, it appear to be a silver color from what I can tell, which should have stayed on the figure all the way until final assembly.

And yes, how comes Chromia looks good and Arcee looks like a turd KO?

Ah, thanks for bringing that pic up. His proportions look better in that one and it shows neck and upper arm articulation. Still doesn't appear to have knees though...

Barricade looks pretty cool. A little clost to the deluxe version but the detail alone makes it a must buy. Now what i really want to know is, why they swapped the color & name for Arcee & Chromia for these figure?

[Convotron]

Stumpy alt mode? How so? I personally find his alt mode quite proportionate, although slightly more on the bulky side, but if memory serves, the Saleen in the movie was a pretty "buff" car itself.

I'm comparing this:

Deluxe Barricade


to this:

HA Barricade


They're not the exact same angles but the HA version of the figure's alt mode looks very compact especially when you consider the relation of the size of Frenzy and the driver seat to the front section of the car. Maybe it's just distortion of perspective due to poor photography. That's what I'm hoping as I really want to like the HA Barricade figure!

HA has been the biggest disappointment so far, and it looks like it isn't going to change.

Wha???

Skids is the sexy sex. Did you not get the memo?

Did the memo mention titty whiskers?

[Evil_the_Nub]

I thought Mudflap had the titty whiskers.

[Convotron]

Yes, Mudflap is the bearer of the titty whiskers. I was hoping that the memo mentioned titty whiskers and by association, Mudflap would also be the sexy sex.

[Counterpunch]

Hey, heyheyhey...

HA Mudflap apparently has HIS titty whiskers under control.

They haven't gone away, but those bitches are under control.
