Saw Scotty's riot shield thingy, tried it out myself:




It works really well actually

Your Barricade looks very purple there.

It looks cool though. Not a very cop colour but very much a Decepticon colour

Tell you what, the pictures and videos don't do the paint work on these figures justice. This Barricade has a lot of paint apps, but it's all hard to tell without holding him because it's black and navy blue. But he is sweet, and that did turn out pretty well with the colors!

and not kidding, this is the good Barricade I have wanted. Can't wait to get Bee to fight him and the 2 Megatron's to fight my 2 Primes!

I mean hey, who's to say police cars aren't purple on Cybertron?

... aside from Prowl?

Sending out a warning for everyone with Prime: Be careful of the sword storage in truck mode. Mine just got jammed up and basically snapped in half minus a few plastic strands holding it together

Really disappointed with Drift's lack of paint apps. Really, this figure would probably look great with just a few more black and gold bits on the chest/torso area, but no. Has/Tak cheaped out, again. I mean really, nothing is new save the car shell and chest, it could not have cost that much to put some decent paint on him. He looks like a guy skinned all the way to the muscle, with a flattened car thrown onto his back.

If anyone wants to get the Deluxes and Voyagers for cheaper than normal check out your Walmart. The one near me is selling them for $16 and $27 respectively. They only had Prime and Grimlock. I considered Prime but I restrained. If they had Barricade I probably would've got him but no dice.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

That's how my Walmart was. Target had them at the $20 and $30 points and TRU didn't have them out yet cause street date of next Friday

With the launch of the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline, there have been plenty of awesome events going on around the world to celebrate the new movie. Well, thanks to the Unión Cultural Mexicana de Fans de Transformers Facebook, we can tell you that Mexico also got in on the fun! The first event, held in a Walmart parking lot, featured an animatronic Optimus Prime, complete with purple eyes, Souvenirs, toys, and prizes to be given out. It even included some cars based on the characters in The Last Knight, with Hot Rod, Bumblebee, Barricade, and Crosshairs being represented by unofficial cars that come close to duplicating their on-screen alternate modes.

Check out the images below, and if you live in Mexico: follow their Facebook. This set will be traveling around the country to set up and celebrate the new movie!

As news team member, I am intrigued. Are we sure this is a mistake and not a surprise reveal of an upcoming redeco?

I feel it's very possible it's an exclusive. Not a very good one, but an exclusive nonetheless.

Oh, well make sure you quote where it comes from. I was confused as hell as to what you were talking about.

And I doubt this is some sort of upcoming figure. the thing has voyager Megs pictures as a legion class figure. It's just wack

Easy mistake to make with multiple figures name "Megatron" in the line. Same for "Optimus Prime"

FINALLY found some TLK toys at my local TRU, but they didn't have Slash or deluxe Barricade, but they did have baby barricade, so I bought him in a heart beat. I couldn't leave empty handed! And he's a stellar little figure, but he's not barricade. The face, the body style, it just doesn't work, Plus I fully intend to get Deluxe Barricade. So, what to do? I thought about using him just as aligned Prowl (as he IS smokescreen, after all) but the gleaming makes that a bit hard, so I give you...



Roadblock (ha), Barricade's annoyingly dedicated tiny deputy that always wants to tag along on patrols.

Plus he can do the smooth criminal!!!

This is very cool!

Forgot I have that mold in my box of figures I don't particularly need to keep.

Maybe mine here is Smokescreen before obsessing about Barricade enough to turn into your 'Roadblock'.

It's Monday morning, a week after the street date, and Walmart still doesn't have anything, not even shelf space set aside to put them on.

BTW, I doubt a knockoff Optimus Prime would have such intricate flame work or leave the clear panels intact on the top of the truck hood and roof. Very strange looking figure, and a strange choice to go with DotM (why not Evasion Prime or the new Voyager?). The way it's painted almost makes it look like it's being shot back into the Earth's atmosphere from space.

The New Optimus Sword and shield is interesting even if the deco isn't especially tasteful.

That is an awesome idea! Neat, and a little bad-guy deputy never hurt anyone!

Now I'm going to need to do this with my Smokescreen

So I as had a zillion transformers as kids and just now got back into collecting them now that my kids are old enough to have fun with them. Somehow I dropped like $100 bucks on them on impulse over the weekend, lol.

In the past, what was the time frame for the next wave of figures up to the movie release? I'm guessing (hoping) the next wave would be in May sometime then the rest to coincide with the film release?

[william-james88]

Some websites state the date of the next wave sometime in May.
