I adore Deluxe Barricade, so I'm sorry you feel this way. All I can suggest you do about the legs is rotate them backwards so the flat section faces the front, he stands a lot better that way.

''he hates you too. so the feelings are mutual ''

Dude no offense, but this entire thread is pointless, especially since there's plenty of other threads regarding Barricade.

I like the figure though. Sure he could be better, but he was a wave 1 movie figure, based on concept art. He's pretty good all things considered. And his feet snap into position by the way, which makes him much sturdier.

My Barricade shows a bit of looseness in the legs, but nothing major, he's still decently poseable. I love the car mode. Best police car in a very long time (if not ever).

pointless? nah, I got a good laugh out of it. After a rant ... an invitation to discuss. Nothing wrong with that.

Barricade is a pain, but I really like the figure overall.

Sometimes it can be tough to get him back into car mode. I'll think i'm done transforming him, but then will notice that 1 of the windows isn't lined up properly.

One of the shoulder ball joints is loose on mine as well, so I usually rip an arm off at some point during the transformation.

He is cool, but then I'll look over at my alts wheeljack and think ... "yeah, that's much better."

I wouldn't mind another alts mustang mold for Barricade. Heck ... there was up to 4 characters for each mold anyway. Why not?

You have some aggressive feelings about a plastic toy there!

He isn't the greatest deluxe figure ever but I wouldn't say he was sh*t. None of the figures are movie accurate and asking Hasbro to get a tiny piece of transforming plastic to be is asking a lot. The movie CG models cheat during transformation which is something Hasbro cannot do with plastic.

He has a good look going on that is suitably pointy and scary.

I for one think he is pretty decent. Mine has no joint issues, I think you just got one that was assembled at 5pm on Friday just before knocking off time.

it's good that you actually say why you hate him.

I like this thread :grin:

I like him, sure I have a few problems transforming him (those damn legs!) but his altmode looks sweet. It's fun to put him in car mode next to my reissue Prowl, poor Prowl looks so tiny :lol:

i tried that and he looks fine, the good thing with barricade is that you can mess around with his shoulder wheel bits and give him quite different looks despite his rather limited poses, hes either upright or over!!

i dont love this toy but its a bit different at least.

Ok, before you have an entire seizure ranting and banting like an immature baboon, please remember in spite of all the adults on this site, that transformers is still a toyline geared for little kids, and some of those kids view the site. So the language is severely unnecessary.
So keep it clean.

Barricade is no fun. He looks good but he's no fun. Accurate? Quality? From Hasbro? You're mad!

Well the only thing i mislike about Barricade, is the soft head mold, and the Frenzy figure could be a little better. But except for that i "love" him :grin:

Cmon, isnt it top dawg to have a Decepticon Cop?

I even like the Arm gimmick in a weird way. But well ... i think that weird people have more fun

Classics Ramjet is indeed a great toy ... 2 bad i missed him :sad:

I got a barricade and there were lots of problems w/ it, so I returned it and got a new one. This one is way better. I love Barricade.

Deluxe Barricade

Alt mode: Fantastic.

Bot mode: Not as good as alt mode, but that would be pretty hard to do. The legs are a little odd, but he stands just fine for me. His arms are veru flexible and you can make plenty of different poses just with different arm positions. Frenzy's a bit of a waste, but the effort was commendable.

I like posing Barricade and Concept Camaro Bumblebee in a stare-down contest. They look great next to each other.
