Obviously they're not showing him on set because they wanna save it for a surprise for us fans.

Also: If Scorponok could make a surprise cameo in ROTF, why not Barricade in DOTM?

Yeah, they'll bring him back so that he could appear for less than a minute and then get killed off by someone he just attacked.

why are they NOW selling his cars on ebay?

Actually, they showed Scorponok in the trailers, so it wasn't really a suprise.

Like Red said, they usually bring back characters just to destructify them, like Scorponok.
