Actual Barricade is alive and well in the show as part of the crew of the Nemesis, while the Sparkless Datsun was only in basically one episode's worth of screentime between two episodes and got dusted when Optimus touched the Allspark.sol magnus wrote:So does this mean he (and Barricade) are dead?

(But also the figure releases in the main toyline and the Netflix show aren't a direct 1-1 translation anyway, since both Skywarp and Magnus are actually dead despite getting updates in Earthrise and Kingdom.)
Correct. I guess he's being referred to as "Barricade" as a placeholder in that aspect - I'm aware of the non-binary deaths.
We are allegedly supposed to be getting Earth Sideswipe and Red Alert as Amazon and Walgreens exclusives, respectively, but there haven't been any solid rumors about similar updates for any of the other Lambo repaints.sol magnus wrote:But what of the rumored Earth mode Red Alert that's also rumored to be the Walgreens figure? So many rumors, so many Lamborghinis.
I hope they are significant enough to stand apart from the Siege ones, as they are very good as is.
