Official Images of Human Alliance Barricade with Frenzy - Mudflap with Agent Simmons and Chromia

Posted by Blurrz Dec 3, 2009 at 6:17pm CST 102,937 views
The fourth and fifth Human Alliance set within the Revenge of the Fallen toyline have finally received official images from Hasbro. ActionFigs.com supplies us with images focusing on the packaging and stock photos of both Barricade, Mudflap, and their components.

The first Decepticon to be encompassed into Human Alliance is Barricade. The bad cop does not come with a Human counterpart, instead a human-sized one. We're talking about Frenzy. Both Barricade and Frenzy are notoriously the first bad guys that we saw in action in the 2007 Live Movie. We've seen Takara's stock photos, and packaging at a convention. Now we are teased with the figure that will end up in our collections this winter.

Joining his brother in Human Alliance is Mudflap. We were teased at SDCC '09 and now we finally get images of the goods. Mudflap is remarkably more detailed than his Deluxe counterpart. His human partner is Agent Simmons, notably wearing a white scarf. The entire set is topped off with the second Arcee persona to be in Human Alliance - Chromia.

"The bad cap does not come with a Human counterpart"

Typo :) Bad "cop".

Seeing this, I now realise something: We need more!

Human Alliance Jolt with Elita-One/Flareup and Leo,
Human Alliance Jazz with one of Sam's parents, I suppose,
Human Alliance Ice Cream Twins with the other parent,
Human Alliance Sideways with Alice,
Human Alliance Scorponok with the two soldiers from the first movie,
Human Alliance Ravage with Reedman.

Come on, which one of those doesn't sound good?

Maybe it's just me but Barricade really doesn't look to be any better than the deluxe version, as far as accuracy goes at least. I kind of feel this way towards all of the human alliance figures so far...

My other comment about Barricade has been changed. I don't want him anymore.

Dang it, I'm underwhelmed by HA Barricade. The Deluxe class figure has better proportions in my eyes and the HA version's legs are just too darn stumpy. I'm hoping very hard that it's just due to a bad photo angle. The chest is also a bit too small for my liking. The head sculpt looks great, though.

I like HA Mudflap but I'm concerned about the durability of the upper arms as they look fairly thin. Chromia looks cool. I'm very much liking the look of Mudflap's lower leg configuration.

Who would have thought in a million years the guy who portrays 'Simmons' would get his own action figure? :D

Nevertheless, gettin' both of them.

Not really wanting...

If they did something G1 in this size, detail, articulation, and with a human fig, I'd be good.

Barricade looks... less than stellar. His chest is just one solid piece, it doesn't fold or split like the other HA 'Formers. And the grays in the arms and legs look odd, like they are a "warm," almost brownish, gray. A 'cool,' blue-er gray would probably be better suited.
And his face somehow looks flat, but I think it may just be Frenzy's legs giving the impression that Barricade's head is on one of those square panel things his Legends/FAB/Cyber Slammer toys have.

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

Comment by Slayershoop Dec 3, 2009
I'm sorry, but Barricade is just looking worse and worse to me...
Why would HA be a disappointment? Have you actually played with BB and Skids? Sure Sideswipe was lackluster but the rest are good.
AND WTF IS WITH THEM COLORING ARCEE BLUE AND CALLING HER CHROMIA AND COLORING CHROMIA RED AND CALLING HER ARCEE?!?!?!?!?! #-o

I like the paint job. HA wise I only bought HA BB from a sale, and it kinda came free.

Pretty much on the fence about 'Cade. On the one hand, I need someone to pose for a fight scene with the HA Bumblebee I've got, but on the other hand, he doesn't look all that proportionate. Love the alt mode, though, and the attention to accuracy where the glass covers for the headlights disappear in bot mode. Still, I'm not really digging the bot mode due to the funky proportions.

And what's with all the mud brown coloring on his arms and legs? He was all black, white and chrome in the movie.

BTW, can anyone confirm if that left hand of his can convert back into a normal hand instead of just staying in "spiked wheel" mode? It looks possible from the picture, but I can't really tell.

I didn't want to comment on the colour of HA Barricade because, let's face it, promo photos and even photos of the production figures after being released don't usually convey the colours properly.

Now that I'm looking at the photos more, I'm afraid HA Barricade's alt mode looks stumpy and cartoony compared to the Deluxe class figure as well as the better proportioned alt modes of HA BB and Sideswipe.

I don't have much hope for the chest as it does look like one big block but I'm hoping that the arms and legs are at least partially off due to bad photographing. Looking at how Barricade's feet look like they're pointing towards each other a bit, it doesn't seem like the figure is posed very well for the photo. I hope that when we get better photos of the figure that it looks better proportioned.
