I have never heard of blackout or barricade....I know neither is original...Are they new characters?

[Barricade]

barricade= g1, f1 racercar, decepticon
blackout= energon, helicopter, decepticon

[Hotrod]

Yes. However the names have been used before. Barricade is also the name of an Energon figure:
Energon Barricade

Blackout was used as a minicon name in Armada and Energon and a Decepticon in Energon:

Armada Blackout

Energon Blackout

Energon Blackout

[yovnocrats]

both were from G1:

One should also note that the name were changed several times over the course of production.

Blackout started out as Vortex and was Incinerator at one point, too. I think Barricade was the first to get the Brawl moniker.
