This certainly isn't our first look at DOTM Barricade, but these images from 4chan give us comparison shots with two previous incarnations, the original Deluxe Barricade and HA Barricade. He's noticeably smaller, but we already knew many of the DOTM toys would be to accommodate their new MechTech weapons. Is that a moustache and soul patch, or just faulty paint applications? You decide, the images have been mirrored below.

I really like this mold except the legs, I like the original barricades legs better and maybe the head. Ill have just have to wait and see with this one.

How the hell has he grown a tash!!.

At first glance i still go back to the original even with the DOTM having better faetures, He's not realy movieverse looking that Could be a good thing for none movie fans, I'm not sure my self.

This is one of those times where I actually find myself praying that an image actually IS Photoshopped. Somebody please tell me that is the case here. It looks like they gave GI Joe's Major Bludd a different helmet and dropped it on Barricade's body. Mullets, dreadlocks and now THIS?? Pull your head out Hasbro! These are robots, not friggin' cyborgs. :-x

Looks to me like the first Barricade with decent leg articulation. I'm really looking forward to this figure - I like what they've done to the chest.

Not my cup of tea. I had the original movie version and i liked him. Gave him away but i liked him.

I think that in the comparison shot the movie Barricade beats out the DOTM hands down. It just looks meaner.

The new head sculpt is a little odd. I feel a bit of propriety towards this character and the original mold and DOTM is treading on it a bit. IMO.

So he now looks like Purple Pie Man? :-?

Snidely Whiplash has joined the Decepticons!

Amazing how many toys this figure has gotten, considering 'word of gawd' has it he was killed offscreen in the first movie...

I'm thinking the moustache and soul patch are just a prank by whoever posted the images, but you never know.

He looks sooo awesome. Initially I wasn't sure about this figure, but now i'm pretty much definite. He looks like a downsized version of the brilliant HA figure. For some reason I'm really liking his massive Mechtech gatling gun (not the claw mode). I just pray they do the same with Jazz, and that Voyager Bonecrusher and Leader Blackout will soon follow...

In all the pictures he's lit from above so it makes him look like he's got the moustache. Even if it DOES have a painted on moustache, it looks like it could be scraped off or at least painted over or removed in some way. Personally, I like it, he looks awesome and actually has the kind of articulation I've wanted to see in him. Also he has the smashed in chest look that all the other molds were missing.

Am I the only who thinks the designs of these characters are getting WORSE?!? His legs look like they were stripped! OH Oh I got it: He has no pants on!!!! :lol:

Thats it! He was running late for the filming of another bad movie and did not have time to shave or put on pants!!! :lol:

The spoiler is white? And with the white/light gray here and there and now he is shaved and styled his mustache, I will stick with my HA version.

With a face like that he needs to be voiced by Burt Reynolds.

by **Softimus Prime** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 3:05 pm

first time I ever realized he has a face.

I might actually get him because he's smaller, as I think that will put him in better scale with my Classics/Universe/Generations/RtS figures - hopefully he won't be too small now. Now if I could get a scaled-down version of RotF Deadend...

by **OptiMagnus** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 3:36 pm

He looks considerably better than the previous mould in my opinion. I guess he is smaller, but I couldn't really tell he was from those pictures.

by **SaTaN CoNvOy** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 4:04 pm

DO NOT WANT!

by **Ultra Markus** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 4:09 pm

looks like all the new movie molds are smaller
hopefully smaller doesn't mean less quality
that would really suck

by **KIERANW** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:34 pm

SOLD!! Looks fantastic! I will surely get this guy without any hesitation!
He also looks very similar to the human alliance version of the mold. I wonder if he transforms similarly?

by **JokerFC** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:36 pm

is Barricade in DOTM?

by **Pr1meSuspect** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 6:19 pm

I like the mold with decent looking legs and an articulated head... but the new head, its not even a decepticon from DOTM, it looks almost like and autobot's from generations. I'm definitely getting a Wreck-Gar vibe from the facial hair haha.
