Barricade to me is the disappointment of the wave. He looks so darn good in both modes true, but the robot mode is so limited. no waist, they really needed to add a hip swivel and not just have it on a ball joint. He needs more leg movement, and he can't get any! He can't really pose much good! I also think he really needed his weapon modified or his arm modified for it, it looks a bit too goofy being held. And that backpack needed to rest closer to his body, it sticks out too far brazenly with nothing really between it and his body. And all that translucent plastic is a disaster waiting to happen.
Not sure what you mean with the backpack thing. It seems quite close to his body on mine. Moreso than some other figures. Only issue I've had with mine was that the waist didn't peg into the upper body properly and so lifting him by the top half, caused the bottom half to flop down all loose. I fixed it with a bit of nail polish to make the tab thicker. Yeah I wouldn't mind a bit of waist articulation but I'm pretty happy with my figure and yeah he does look great in both modes.

I dunno. I've had Thundercracker for ages now and he just hasn't really done much for me at all. He's on the list of possile sales if I need to cut down the collection or make some money or something. All that jet tail kibble coming down the back of robot mode bugs me.
