Also, if by that logic any bot with those qualities can be a Prowl repaint with a new head, then they can make a toy-accurate Jazz and a modern-design Bumblebee, characters who would usually get their own molds like Barricade, from this Prowl mold with no new parts other than head sculpts and possibly accessories and you'd be okay with it, yes?
Your stretching it dude, while Barricade might share some of those features with other characters Barricade was always designed with Evil Prowl features in mind.
If Barricade was going to get his own mold it would just be like the TLK version which as it is the toy of that character makes for a good Chug Barricade.
And honestly I don't care what they do, if it's a good toy it's a good toy, this version of Barricade is still a version of Barricade that has a intended vision that it fulfills and that's fine, if one doesn't like the figure then don't pick it up and just wait for the next version.
Some people want a Barricade that's a repaint of Prowl going by all the customs and posts I've seen where people wish for such a figure, hell that Club figure is just a straight repaint of TFP Prowl with no new head sculpt.
I don't think I have ever had a problem with any repaint unless the repaint looked actually bad, like one of those eye seering paints and even then that's only if it's not a G2 homage.
I'm gonna check if I can head swap the TLK Barricade toy head and see if it fits on this Barricade when it comes out but if it doesn't then that's fine to me.
