While I personally do not plan to get Barricade because it doesn't fit into my collection I think it looks good. I just think it's the reverse engineering aspect that is throwing some fans off. Taking a figure that initially was not part of the *best years* of the original series, and making him appear to fit in (Yes I know of the 1990 Micromaster, but that doesn't really apply here...)
Fans (even myself) are very fickle about this...I accepted Sunstorm (or any number of seekers), because they all basically have the same concept. I was not into Drift initially, but came to accept him over time, still, there hasn't been a super *original series* looking Drift, so I'm not sure how that would be accepted. I enjoy the Torchbearers, of course because they are a combiner team
. But Windblade, I have never been a fan of. I guess that's one reason to be thankful for Cyberverse. They can keep churning out Windblade figures in that line, and *hopefully* keep her out of the Generations series. Still, I find it hard to believe Hasbro wont attempt another Windblade in the next two years, especially if the aesthetic of the remaining parts of this trilogy are different enough, but one can hope.
