I'm surprised by how nice this looks, not used to detailed RC toys.

Wait until the retail version is shown before getting too excited.

The symmetric wheels are also a little strange. The arm almost looks like he stole it from someone else, especially with that huge gun on it.

Are you saying that Hasbro may dramatically change the design before releasing it? Usually that is expected from the figures that actually transform.

[Stuartmaximus]

It reminds me too much of Fixit

[DeathReviews]

Squeeks is perhaps the most detailed and intricate design the Bayverse people have come up with yet....

[Ultra Markus]

paint it all silver and you have Twiki!

Who else but Quagmire-bot?!

Yep, there's a...uh..."Self Help" joke in there somewhere.

CHIHUAHUA!

When did T-Bob join the Transformers?

Just as RID Fixit does - it may make for a fun little Legion class toy.

I didn't know the Nazi's hired Dwarves as Flamthrower troops in world war II I missed that Videogame level I guess - not that I'd put Midget Flame Thrower troopers past Medal Of Honor when it has GSD's driving Motorcycle and sidecars.

Well, judging from this:

I'd say I was right, it looks pretty bad compared to the CG. The blue is all washed out and the rust effect looks like brown spray paint. Coupled with the other weirdness from the RC design and this thing is kinda...

Courtesy of the Facebook page Planet Iacon, we have the first - leaked - images of another toy from Transformers: The Last Knight! It's a deluxe, it's a Decepticon, it's a a returning character: check out below tiny grainy photos of the new version of Barricade. Impressed? Underwhelmed? Curious? Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

[Easy Tiger]

*sniff* I never thought I'd live to see the day that we got a good-looking Barricade figure... It's beautiful.

[Megatron Wolf]

Looks like it suffers from the same problems AoE had, no paint, backpacks that ruin the figure, overly simplistic, cheap looking, easy pass.

[Emerje]

That's some great sculpting, but if I get it I'll probably hold out of the better looking Japanese version. Then again, if the MP ends up being this version then I'll just pass on it entirely.

I get that altmodes (and to some degree, robot modes) change from movie to movie. Being that Barricade's didn't in the two movies he was in, I was hoping more for an update to the robot mode than anything. Thing is, that headsculpt looks absolutely nothing like he did before. Except for the big shoulders, and the fact that his altmode is a police car, nothing about this says "BARRICADE" to me. They would probably have done better to make it a different character.

[Carnivius_Prime]

I ain't sure. I loved the DotM Deluxe and the improvements it took from the Human Alliance figure to beat the 2007 deluxe. A hinge to break up that back bit would have been nice too. This figure's a lil bit dull in comparison to the DotM figure but I'll wait for better pics.

[Underc3211]

Not a fan of his turtle shell but I like it. This kind of high tech g1 looking bot is what most fans were expecting when we heard the movies were happening.

[Stuartmaximus]

Barricade! he looks like he's got a barricade stuck to his back! to be fair though...the robot mode looks ok....ish! nothing special though! it's just that bloody back kibble that everyone's having a problem with, so i dunno what's worse! that....or the state of the guys floor

[Evil Eye]

The backpack kinda sucks, but otherwise holy hell that is an awesome looking Barricade!

[griftimus prime]

looks awesome. tell me that backpack comes off and works like a riot shield.

[Bumblebee21]

looks awesome. tell me that backpack comes off and works like a riot shield.

you can hope

[Kurona]

I'm a big fan of the bulkier look, gotta say.

[william-james88]

Too bad he looks nothing like what the CG model will look like (supposedly)



This looks like a very simple transformation and I am not a fan of that backpack, nor of that high shoulder wheel.

That Barricade seems bland. The paint, the design, it looks, generic.
