If it has extra bits stuck on it, it really isn't one solid piece, now is it?

I have no problem with the Barricade but I wish his rider was the mustache man instead of Frenzy.

Hopefully, Hasbro will release a human alliance riders set, which consists purely of the other humans along with some accessories. I want my shotgun-toting Keller already!

HA Mudflap apparently has HIS titty whiskers under control.

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

But, it does look like he can deploy them at a moment's notice. Just in case he needs his Titty Whiskers at full force.

EDIT: Apparently, I've lost a grip on the English language. It's Friday night, right before finals week. C'est la vie.

I have to agree with anyone that said about HA cade colors been off, so now I will wait for the Takara verison of him hoping they paint him better which is next year Feb, won't be that long..

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!

Well, I think the bulkiness is still well within acceptable parameters. As for Frenzy, yeah, it does look like a tight fit.

I do like HA Barricade, but I'm just not sure if I like him enough to buy him. Just have to wait until the thing gets released before making my decision.

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?

This does sound good, but I'd rather see Human Alliance Red Rampage with both of Sam's parent, now that would be cool!! or hell a HA Soundwave with a smaller version of ravage and a satellite he can interface with...

I agree, Red Rampage with Sam's parents would be cool!!!
And also, I 'd rather see Alice with Grindor, the latter having the possibility to host deluxe scorponok on the back. It'd be our last hope to have a giant Grindor/Blackout!!!!!!!!!
Also, HA Ironhide with Lennox 'd be cool.

Don't get your hopes up, Hasbro haven't done accessories yet.

Guy's, I picked the cars because a bulldozer, a satellite and a helicopter would be kind of unethical in a line full of cars who reach leader class size in robot mode (more or less, I don't know, I don't own any of them yet). Rampage, maybe, but I can't see anything with Soundwave or Grindor. Also, I'm going to make an edit:

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

I think both of the two look awesome!
I wish they would've shown a picture of simmons sitting in Mudflap , but who cares.

I mean the chest is mostly made up of one piece It's the same for HA Barricade, too.

Also, excuse my ignorance, but what the deuce do people mean by 'monkey arms' and 'titty whiskers'?

I'm so on the fence with the HA line. In some pics they look really good and some they look really bad. Case in point with Barricade. The original pic looks terible but that second linked pic looked much better. Sideswipe is the same for me. Some pics he looks good others he looks chunky and stubby looking. I'd probably have the Bumblebee already but the damned cannon arm ruins the whole figure for me. The twins actually look pretty decent as far as their movie likeness is concerned. 30 clams is a steep price for a figure that you aren't wowed by and I'm just not wowed by any of them. BB was closest (damn that cannon arm)and Sideswipe is ok. The twins would be good if they didn't annoy the crap out of me in the movie. I had high hopes for Barricade yet the pics leave me teetering on the fence, yet again.

Titty Whiskers? I haven't a clue.

Monkey arms is when the palm and elbow both face the same directions. Meaning, if the palms are facing inwards toward the body the elbow will also bend toward the body.

Thanks, man! I can see why that must annoy many members on figures!

It refers to the long thin projections coming out the sides of ROTF Deluxe Mudflap's headlights. I believe it was CP who coined the phrase...

...I guess you had to be there.

I see! Thanks! (Looking at the picture, not too sure what you mean, but there you go!)

Also, does anyone know if Barricade is out already? If not, when is it?
