This is defiinetly Barricade. Look at face and that thing which is like saw in his hand. He had a saw in the first movie too

Those red underpants are very fetching. I assume they're not going to be red on release.

If they are, hopefully its not that bright of a red, maroon-ish would be better.

Car mode: Well, good, but needs a repaint to buy (reminds me of the final bosses car in NFS: Carbon).

Robot mode: ugly.

They'd better be. Would make a great nod to Masters Of The Universe.

... and too-skinny legs.

Wasn't Barricade a Ford Saleen police car in the first movie? Seems like an odd switch to make, to suddenly make him a silver Audi.

Maybe Barricade has a "twin" like the Autobot pair. That would be an interesting twist.

I doubt they will change anything on it, the figure looks like a production run, and is missing the "not for sale" or the paint-splash marker Hasbro used for prototypes.

And BTW, who would give 120$ for this??? (85+post)

thets definatly BARRICADE on the front page, and i would give 120 dollars for that OPTIMUS PRIME!!

Sledge was wrong about the weird legs.

Yeah.

Still not as bad as the original Barricade's though.

It actually reminds me of the insecticon Kickback

by **javaco** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 7:44 pm

he's obviously the new barricade
but in my opinion.. a poopy new version.
his feet are small as hell and the color scheme is badddd

the vehicle mode is good tho

im hoping they change this up a bit

Website · by **hippymule** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 7:47 pm

those feet are tiny how can he even stand?

News Credits: 3 · by **Archanubis** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 7:49 pm

Certainly looks like Barricade

Very carefully.

Two problems, 1) the feet are way to small & 2) The full red torso has got to go. Other than that this is a badass looking figure. Barricade looked awesome in the first one and had very little screen time so why did they changed his form? Oh i know why, the first one looked to much like a normal tf and not a bayformer. Best looking bot from the new movie so far.

I think the head, chest, and arms look better than the original barricade toy. The rest of the body is not so hot.

The vehicle mode is nice, but still doesn't make up for the unsightly legs and waist. I mean come on, if he's supposed to be barricade (that's what most people here are assuming), he needs to look more badass than how he looks now with those girly feet.

Mmore and more I agree...this is Barricade. He's back...has anyone heard if Keith David has been tapped to voice again? That would be a big clue for us...
