Haha the blue and yellow reflective strips just goes to show how daft police cars look with them (they have them over here in the UK...they're awful!) and it proves why no transformer would ever convert into an emergency service vehicle over here! :lol:

omg, my eyes, its worse than G2 toys. No wonder Barricade wasn't in Revenge of the Fallen, he was too embarrased to come on screen.

Barricade is ugly, but is sorta interesting. I don't have the slightest desire to buy it, but it's interesting. Starscream is about as pointless as new leader Hooker Prime. Woulda made more sense to do him sans robo-tats. Still wouldn't have bought it, but I coulda at least saw SOME point to it then...and maybe, just MAYBE a possible draw to other collectors.

I just don't get the movie repaints. 90% of them are pointless and/or stupid. Almost all of them that are still the same character with a modified deco (shy of G1, and even those are sometimes iffy) are a total waste of time.

i WANT that Barricade give him to me NOW!!!!

Bcade's head/face needs to incorporate some of the blue and yellow.

No thanks to either.

I hope that this Barricade is a special release figure for some event in Hong Kong, and not general release.

HOWEVER:

hate to admit it, but if it was done as a brit copper instead of China, I probably would buy it. #-o

LOL G2 movie Barricade, Not interested. Now I like the Starscream but damn couldnt they have made him a new color like blue or purple instead ??? It looks like some worker forgot to drop enough brown ink in the paint bucket and the repaint was created by accident. (similar to the paint variations of deluxe Breakaway)

by **autobot-jolt** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 4:30 pm

Barricade-pass.

Starscream-not really much of a difference there.

What am I doing wasting any more time here?

Wow. Fuglier and fuglier.

Hey, I didn't know Hasbro employed knockoff companies to redeco their TFs!

Watch this fetch big bucks in 20 years time because nobody bought it.

by **Axlmus Prime** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 6:43 pm

It looks like 20 years from now I will be rich cause I want this Barricade. But the head needs a repaint.

Haha, I too find myself strangely drawn to that Barricade--but he'll still probably be a pass. The original was good enough for me

I think that Starscream is the one from this two-pack:

Well the deluxe Barricade mold has lived a lot longer than his on screen character..

by **Prime Riblet** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 10:11 pm

I know there should be a very obvious answer to my upcoming question, but does Hasbro really want to sell these?

Barricade is completely ridiculous and stupid. That is about all I can say about that.
