I relate to this so hard, it’s not even funny.

The forearm kibble really bothers me, assuming that it has no function in tape deck mode. If you're gonna remold to get rid of the cybertronian kibble, you gotta do it all

Everyone, say hello to Netflix Barricade:

https://www.facebook.com/Planetiacon.stfu/posts/3412585258807390

Now, to clear up some confusion, this is indeed a Netflix toy and not a Generations Selects toy, despite the presence of a Generations Selects box behind the figure. We first knew about this figure from way back when we got these listings of many other Netflix figures, the first five of which later proving to be real.

As for the box seen in this pics, we don't know whose it actually is, but it definitely looks to be one of the TakaraTomy Selects boxes since it has Takara's consistent misspelling of "Generations Selects" as "Generation Selects". Barricade, however, would not be coming in one of these boxes but instead in a normal Walmart Netflix Deluxe class package.

With that said, heeeeeeeeeeere's Barry!

Originally, I felt release both the Seekers and Datsuns back to back was kind of a slap in the face but now that I've had Smokescreen for a bit plus all the currently release ER Seekers and I am glad I got them. Definitely hoping to get Bluestreak on Prime Day and I will definitely get Barricade whenever the next Netflix wave drops.

I'm guessing since he wasn't officially announced he is not part of the wave with Bumblebee and Elita-1?

I never felt that way, and upon getting Bluestreak I certainly disagreed with it. There's nothing shared between Siege and Earthrise on either the seekers or the datsuns.

I want both the Soundwave and especially the Barricade.

Easy pass, though if it had a fancier lightbar and more paint on the sides I probably would have wanted it. Glad they didnt reuse the mirage mold for him but would def like him as a race car and in his micromaster colors at some point.

I foolishly thought when I started that I could have a 'one figure per character rule' and that promptly got tossed.

There is a coolness to this Barricade no doubt but I'm satisfied with Siege Barricade...'nuff said! >:oP

Wow the Ravage figure is like night and day and looks much better! It's too bad the mold itself is lame or I might enjoy this newer version. :VEHI:

I have felt that way since they were revealed, and will end up getting all 4 again anyway. It doesn't really matter much that there are no shared parts between the Siege and Earthrise datsuns, the transformation is largely the same with the Earthrise versions being an improvement over the Siege versions. It feels like getting the same toys again, just improved versions, that is why it feels like a slap in the face to some. At least for the seekers you have a completely different alt mode and transformation, and they feel like completely new toys. Now I just have to figure out if I want to keep both sets of datsuns (and Ratchet and Ironhide too) or if I will be selling off my Siege versions in the near future.

Love what they did with Ravage’s back legs. The way they did the paint work there gives the illusion of a thin upper leg, rather than the chonky blob it actually is.

Netflix Nemesis Prime. I want this figure so bad

Boy, the striking teal and jet black on the Takara one just makes the Hasbro one's deco look so vanilla and bland by comparison.

Well this is a bit of a surprise. Thanks to Seibertronians Mindmaster and Sabrblade, we have been directed to in hand pics of an as-yet-unannounced earth-mode version of War for Cybertron Trilogy Barricade. While this isn't completely unexpected, given that Barricade now seems to be the Decepticon version of any Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen mold, it wasn't guaranteed to be made, either.

Given that he's standing next to a cardboard Selects style box, it could easily be assumed that he's going to be released in the Selects line, but as Sabrblade points out....

Everyone, say hello to Netflix Barricade:

So, Seibertronians, what are your thoughts on this latest use of the Earthrise "Datsun" mold? While there's no indication of when this might be released, are you excited to add this Decepticop to your collection when the time comes? Let us know what you think below!

Kind of Lackluster to be honest.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Praxiusprime77, has let us know that Facebook page, DaimChocReports, has uploaded new shots of the forthcoming Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy Spoiler Box #2, or more specifically, it's contents: Nemesis Prime!

These new shots show off Nemesis wielding his weapons (taken from the Power of the Primes Amazon Exclusive Nemesis Prime) and uses for the red Slitherfang repaint the set comes with.

As a bonus the images also show a comparison to Takara's Siege Nemesis Prime, released this past March. The differences in deco choices are apparent but the Netflix release comes with more extras in the was of the aforementioned Red Slitherfang, Giza, and the two double barrelled guns from the Amazon Nemesis Prime, and a black repaint of Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Primes trailer.

Check out the images below:

The images were taken by Chan Fuk Cheung.

Will you be getting this classic black redeco of Optimus Prime? Are you sticking with the Takara version? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Wait... I thought the bird-sword was omitted from the WFC one?

News Credits: 2 · Mon Oct 05, 2020 3:47 pm

What's the deal, with ?Hasbro and using dull colors? Like that tan/grey on the trails of the Titan Master OP and the Sleep OP, and now this dark grey instead of black on NP?
I also like the more extensive use of teal on the Takara version.

Also it appears Fangtron will be the first Shield-Type Battlemaster to have non translucent Plastic? I know there had been pics of it before, but they were small. I thought he would be translucent like all the others.

That's an interesting point :-?

I didn't think anything of it when I newsed but looking back at the reveal photos, giza was no where to be seen. Now its possible that the photographer added giza but I don't know

Nope, but we only found out he had it a few days ago when in-hand images started appearing:

Netflix-War-For-Cybertron-Nemesis-Prime-01.png

I could have sworn this got posted here already, but I guess not.

I already wasn't intending to replace either of my Siege Datsuns with this ER mold, but this Barricade especially makes it easy. Worse/more boring colors, still no Punish and Enslave on the alt mode (although that's probably for the best given how this year has gone), and the bad-looking ER Smokescreen face? No thank you. The only selling point here is the fact that he gets an actual gun this time in addition to the shoulder guns.

News Credits: 1350 · Mon Oct 05, 2020 3:58 pm

In that case disregard everything I just said. That's a nice surprise for once

News Credits: 332 · Mon Oct 05, 2020 5:21 pm

I'm glad I POd Nemesis Prime, I'm definitely selling the Amazon one now, this is better. I'm happy to see Barricade comes with all the weapons allotted to the mold.

Don't know if I should go for the more accessible WFC one, or the PotP one with its Evolution gimmick. Storyline potential! :-?

I have and think I prefer the POTP one, but I almost never decombine him and its so big compared to the current Prime and Megs and other leaders that I am kinda looking forward this for a more scale figure. But this combo of Siege Prime with Earthrise trailer is identical to my Optimus and I dont want a straight duplicate
