Hey guys,

I did a quick search and it came up short... I also checked HA Barricade's gallery but it didn't have what I'm looking for:

A comparaison pic (or pics) of Human Alliance Barricade alongside one of the Binaltech/Alternators Mustangs (either Grimlock or Wheeljack), specifically in Vehicle modes but 'Bot modes would be nice too.

Can anyone help me out? Many thanks if you can!

what comparison points are you looking for? My mustangs are boxed but I can recall them well enough to explain things in decent detail.

HA Barricade is noticeably smaller than the ALT/BT Mustangs in car mode. While they are practically the same height in robot mode, but HA Barricade is much thinner and lankier.

tfw2005, has a god comparison gallery here:

Wow, thanks for the help guys. That link especially was exactly what I was looking for. I basically wanted to know how well the HA figure's car mode sized up to the Alternator Mustang that I have, so I would know if it would look out of place or not. I could forgive a bit of a size difference in Robot mode, but it was somewhat important to me that their cars be in the same scale. That being said, I might be tempted to pick him up anyway, but I wouldn't necessarily display them together.

Thanks again!

He's such a different aesthetic that they'd look wrong together in bot mode.

You need to get HA Barricade, he's great. Just display him with your other movie Barricades.

Yeah, I was really hoping to have him in car mode next to Alt Grimmy in car mode, just because it would look cool. I wouldn't display them in robot mode together... But the more I look at the pics, the more the size difference bugs me. Ah well! Thanks for helping me save my cash for something else.

I personally second this!!

Very much agreed. I really like the figure. I actually think it is nearly perfect from the waist up (that sounds so wrong). The legs could be better, but I think it a small concession for an otherwise great figure. Both modes look fantastic, and the transformation is really fun. I also like the fact that the seats are hidden well in bot mode, which can't be said for most of the line. I think Bumblebee is marred by this and Sideswipe as well. Without question, I think Barricade is the 2nd best of the HA line. It isn't possible to beat HA Jazz-that thing is amazing.

Has anyone else noticed that the joints (especially the arms) feel really smooth and high quality? Moving his limbs just feels nicer than any other TF.

I noticed that with mine too. That was a big part of why I fell in love with the figure immediately when I took it out of the box and transformed it. There is something great about how all the parts click perfectly into place every time.
