Greatest AllSpark Power toy ever. Stockade is just so awesome. He transforms into a black Sector-7 Cadillac Escalade SUV, with dark blue tinted windows. The vehicle mode is extremely detailed! Stockade is also the perfect Decepticon. No interest in where his orders come from, as long as they involve ripping apart some unfortunate Autobot. His robot mode is perfect at poker, as his mouthplate makes it impossible to see what he is thinking, and he has a visor, rather than eyes. Obviously not a drone. His gimmick is a pair of extendable wrists, controlled by moving the luggage rack atop the vehicle, and on his arms in robot mode. He also has the simplest transformation I’ve ever seen. Pull the front down to reveal his feet, fold the side skirts over his wheels, split the roof in half, and fold the sides all the way back, bend his arms and use the lever to reveal his head. Done. He’s shorter than the other Decepticons I own, but is the right size to shove Payload’s head up his exhaust port. Hasbro have really outdone themselves on him. Only, don’t carry him by his arm. He’ll fall off his arm and land on the floor. As for articulation, he’s got it everywhere. Even his fingers move. And his head. He balances ok, and seems to be styled like the Generation 1 car-transformers. I honestly have no insults for him. No. I actually like this toy. I’m not picking on him.

I give him a 10/10, after the initial review. Yet to see if any worse problems develop. Oh, and also, Overcast’s neck fits in his hand, meaning he can beat the poor jet to death with his own head.


This review is seemingly smaller than all of the others. Either I was being very lazy, or just couldn't think of anything to say.

i literally just got mine home, wish his legs were slightly beefier, but apart from that, very cool buy for £9.97

£9.97?! Mine cost £9.99. DIE!!!!

I got mine yesterday. Very happy with it. Nice transformation, and looks great in both modes. It probably has one of the least awkward transformations in the whole movie line. It also feels to be one of the most solid transformers in the line. Nothing pops off, nothing has to be forced, nothing feels in danger of snapping. Everything clicks in place with ease.

The main problem I had was in the articulation. He seems reasonably well articulated, but I couldn't rotate his legs such that his feet would be in a v position, and his arms don't swivel. That's not such a big deal.

Also in vehicle mode, the plastic seemed rather scuffed and scratched in places. I spent a while picking mine out, and they were all like this.

To finish on a high note, the detailing on this figure is terrific! It looks to have some thought put into it, the work on the back of panels, and on the lower arms and legs is top notch.

And if you flip the side panels down off his back so they form a "shelf", his truck mode rear wheels look like some kind of boosterjet backpack...

Oh yeah. Now his vehicle mode looks extra-awesome!

I couldn't see anything wrong with the plastic in vehicle mode. One second, I'll go find him now. Hmm...one of his rear window panels has come off. Well, that's what happens when you have two little brothers who have absolutely no respect for other people's possessions. My Stockade's plastic is all shiny. It's perfectly good on mine. Might just be the ones in your area like that. What did you think of the review? Where should it be improved?
