And why cant Barricade come back? He wasn't killed off in the movie. His remains also weren't on the ship at the end either. Also i want this car.

Well I have heard a rumor that there was a scene cut out of the theatrical release. Prime takes out Barricade (Bonecrusher style) before he gets to the end battle, thats why he is late and why you don't see Barricade. Supposedly this will be in the two disk extended cut of the DVD. I don't know if this is rumor or true so don't wet your pants guys. Bay is reportedly working on some more sequences for the DVD release.

Edmunds.com had 3 good articles on the movie cars. Two articles about driving the Camaros, and one about all the vehicles.

In IDW's movie adaptation OP takes out Barricade on the highway before Bonecrusher. Saleen Mustang is awesome.

that would explain why Prime was late for the city battle.

Maybe Bay will stop shaking the camera so much in the updated action sequences if this is all true.

Ive heard that to. And the scene was also in the comic but it was cut from the movie. Why else would it be cut than to let Barricade return? There has to be a few cons from the first movie that come back other than screamer and Megatron. I feel that it was left out so ge can come back in the next movie. I also feel that bonecrusher will come back as well. He only had his arm and head chopped off. His spark was undamaged. And as the camera pans away from the body his eyes are still glowing red.
