TFSS 2.0 Decepticon Barricade Revealed

And you know there's no way the production version will have that purple color. I don't think Hasbro is even capable of producing that shade of purple.

While he is cool, it isn't close enough to his official character model to justify the cost. He'd be bought if this were retail. But a TSS figure? No way. It's a shame as I'm usually a sucker for this stuff, but next years figures aren't looking good.

Yesh, Prowl has barely been released and he already has a planned redeco.

And guys, give the fiction and his backstory the benefit of the doubt. We don't know if he actually is Prime Barricade, or another Barricade that has a Prime-styled body. And how many of you have re-purposed Slipstream as G1, despite her possibly not hailing from that continuity?

Also, some features of the model do match up: the legs, the hips and the chest. The rest, not so much.

They phoned in another overpriced repaint - oh joy.

Slap a familiar name on an already overused mold and charge triple retail. These sub figures are an insult.

Probably because they can't just throw a new head and a light bar on top of the Vehcion mold.

Honestly, I absolutely adore this guy.

Pay attention kids! This is how you efficiently and effectively neuter an otherwise totally bad-ass Decepticon character.

Where did you hear Rewind? If it's Chromedome, Rewind being a possible partner was just a silly thought based on nothing.

I dont need this at all. Honestly, if I had any intention of bringing Barricade as a character on my classics shelf, I would just go with the movie toy. I think some of the Prime and Animated molds have potential for classics, but not with those cartoony big jawed heads. I dont see why they cant just put serious looking classics styled heads on the bodies of those molds ?

I cannot reveal who let what slip, just don't be surprised if it get announced soon
