I like it, and it looks like the backpack can fold judging by the hinges.

I'm pretty sure the backpack can fold up like AOE Bumblebee's.

I actually kind of like it. I mean it has a few issues, but I actually like it. I hope Megatron gets revealed soon at least.

If you wanted back sandstorm have you beat there nice looking barricade figure glad his feet are bulkier he was hard to stand

That sure is a full police car roof on his back.

That is a great looking Barricade. He looks pretty similar to the CGI model design and it looks far better than my movie 1 Barricade. I'm excited for that one!

I'm liking the look of the figure, little iffy on the back shield but if it gives him widow wings it will be all worth it.

and why are the first 3 comments in the same order as the share your thoughts section of the original post?

That is some disappointingly lazy toy engineering. If the rest of the line is like that, at least I won't be draining my wallet.

You and me both, I mean is it so hard to work on the backpack so Barricade doesnt have a turtle shell?

Looks better than any previous Barricade but I'm done with movie lines now, unless they do something truly mind-blowing.

Looks pretty good to me, for a movie figure. Barricade is my favorite thing to come out of the movieverse so I may pick this up. Even though I dont collect movie figures and like my TFCC Barricade. Where are people seeing the hinges in the roof kibble? I'm not seeing it.

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.

I may get him to go with the Barricade I have and just make it Headcanon that he's Barricade's partner. Just need a name...

Speedtrap?

Spikestrip?

Shakedown?

Longarm?

XS-Force?

Brutality?

Barry Cade.

A fellow Transformers fan has notified us that, in the comments on the Planet Iacon Facebook page, there are some further potential reveals from the The Last Knight toyline, in terms of deluxe and probably Legend class figures. Thanks to Vietnamese photographers, we have a shot of the box for Barricade from earlier today, also a Premier Edition, and very similar to Voyagers; we have a new Bumblebee, very close to his Age of Extinction design and possibly a Legend or VERY simplified deluxe; we also have - supposedly - Berserker, a new mold that borrows heavily from Dread Crankcase from Dark of the Moon. Check them out below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

I hope berserker is a prototype or a gimmick figure...if not, holy scrap the toyline looks like slag
Doesnt look like he can move the neck at all,
Bumblebee looks like his deluxe right down to transformation and i am not convinced he isnt that mold.

So the barricade means that is the best we will get on that mold outside of japan

by **Microraptor** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 2:05 pm

Berserker looks great, that's the last movie Bee mold.

by **cloudballoon** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 2:11 pm

Once I get this new Barricade in hand I'll probably toss the old DOTM DLX into the trash! Actually, I'll probably keep the old toy in its gorgeous alt-mode.

About the back kibble, I can probably modify it into a riot shield.

Wha. . . That's just a crummy repaint of the AOE Deluxe Bumblebee! This better not be the mainline deluxe. . .

I can now say with absolute certainty that if I get any of these figures they'll be the Takara versions. The "premiere" Barricade barely looks like it should be any more than a normal release and Bumblebee and the dread lack so many paint apps.

by **PeterPrime** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 2:38 pm

Was there confirmation on the size of the new Crankcase?

News Credits: 8 · by **Megatron Wolf** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 2:44 pm

Thats AoE deluxe bumblebee with less paint and a brighter yellow plasti. But damn if these are the premiere figures i dread to see what the main lines going to be. Sad part is people are going to buy this crap because they are blinded by their obsession, its only going to get worse i guarantee it.
