Does anyone know why it says 1865 on Barracades emblem. There is also something that looks like latin. Does anyone know what the story is behind the emblem?

It's probably just from whatever p.d he copied the car from and altered only the needed logo

I googled a Latin dictionary. There are no exact word matches, but what I got from it makes sense.

"transit to justice"

yeah, the 1865 is that particular police units founding year, and the latin most likely means "to serve justice."
But apparently, Barricade never changed the latin.

Wikipedia wrote:His rear quarter reads "To punish and enslave" a parody of the classic police slogan "To Protect and Serve". The front quarter police logos have the Decepticon symbol on them and the writing "Pacis Quod Alcedonia", Latin for "Still, Halcyon Days of Peace", and "Incorporated since June 1865".

I would never have thought to go to Wikipedia. Maybe they will change the latin for the next movie.

Prime will look into Wikipedia in the sequel, instead of eBay.

Pacis Quod Alcedonia means literally "Peace and Calm", it has nothing to do with Halcyon that I know of or it would say Halcyon in the term. Must be a way to lull "humans" into a sense of safety only to be bludgeoned afterwards!

Megatron

Wow. You're Megatron. You are the usurping evil leader of the Decepticons, and probably the only robot that whenever is spotted on the battlefield by an Autobot, they yell, "It's Megatron! We're all gonna die!". You are very strong and also very intimidating to others. Nobody messes with you.




Wel it was my destiny as i am Megatrons wife LOL L.M.A.O :lol:
