I picked up Barricade at Wal-Mart last night and after I transformed him I was left wondering why the pieces along the top of his shoulders have a ball joint but it doesn't show anything being done with them in the instructions. I looked on Seibertron's galleries and he's got them just how they are on the box, then I looked at the full CGI pic and I realized there's actually an unlisted step in the transformation sequence.
This is how the instructions show it:
Look at the render:

This is how his shoulders are supposed to look:
I like this look a lot better, now his arms don't look like one giant slab.
