New 2021 Transformers Barricade Toy Found in Chile

Yeah this is defintely an evergreen Authentics toy. Also the in-hand images having these other toys makes everything feel weirdly nostalgic.

Could be a passable rank-sweller

That last picture makes me wonder if we have enough Barricades for a good top 5.

Movie Centric is understandable, the character we know best started in the Movie Verse. So he'll have some movie verse toys and some crossover toys. It's like how a top seeker list would have 1 or 2 movie toys in there among other incarnations.

JelZe, your list overlooks the toys from the BB movie toyline.

Honestly, I think the police car altmode suits the name particularly well. Especially compared to G1 Barricade's Ligier JS31 altmode.

Yeah, did the Generations-style only on purpose to keep it manageable. The Movie lines go overboard with toys every single time.

About "Barricade" fitting police cars, Hasbro's C.O.P.S. line had a character named Barricade as a Crowd Control Specialist.

There's even more Barricade than that. He has a bunch of toys from TLK and I even like his tiny turbo chamger

I honestly think there's enough Barricades for a nice top five.

As Jelze themselves confirmed to you, they were only talking about figures catered to collectors and the like, which is what I correctly interpreted from their post. So I was pointing out that there were a myriad of barricades out there that we don't really care to remember or not.

Anyways, I personally like the tiny turbo changer but the list will include one slot each for the Earthrise and Siege version. Not sure which is superior though. I really love the colours on Siege.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Jtprime17, has made a discovery of product codes for the Authentics line. These concern the recently discovered existence of Authentics Barricade (shown here to be in the Bravo Class of figures) and Shockwave! Shockwave will be Alpha Class.

For those unaware of the differences, Alpha Class figures are 7" while Bravo figures are 5".

Heres what Jtprime17 shared:

Product Number: F0524

Tra Gen Authentics Alpha Shockwave
Product Number: F0526

The Authentics line uses the Evergreen designs for all the figures and are intended to be a low cost alternative, so all kids can enjoy the fun of Transformers. They are not as complex as their Generations cousins.

Have you picked up any of the Authentics line?

Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I'm honestly super happy to at least see the "Evergreen" Barricade design used, instead of a smokescreen repaint. The Evergreen design makes so much more sense and is a lot more interesting than another datsun use. I hope he gets more than just an authentics release in that body style

I hope so too, its a great evolution of the character

and I certainly wouldn't mind Barricade being the bot that brings in more bots from the movie-verse into wider TF lore, like Nitro Zeus, Mohawk, Blackout, etc.

I honestly thought Blackout was already heading that way when he turned up in Animated but that was it

How many Bayverse OC's are there?
I can only think of Dino, Blackout, Nitro Zeus, Mohawk, Scalpel, Brains, Stinger, and Dragonstorm.
Am I missing any?

I find it hilarious that the Transformers AUTHENTIC line is made out of toys looking and feeling like bad Chinese knock-off found at the dollar store.

Dispenser, ejector, Crowbar, Dreadbot, Berserker, infernicous, vatti bot, Oreo bot, KSI boss, watch that killed hitler, skullitron, bulldog, sqweaks, lieutenant, day trader...the list goes on. There’s a ton of them

Plus, if you really wanted to go there, a lot of characters with shared names but very different designs could get absorbed into TF canon with slightly different or new names

I guess I was only thinking of characters that had a speaking part, or more than a few seconds of screen time. I would include a few of your list for sure. And yeah, there are alot of bots that could use a new name. I'd love to see movie Sideswipe get some generations love.

There’s also Shatter and Dropkick who got his name from a 2007 movie figure who wasn’t in the movie. I would probably wager there’s more original transformers than characters with legacy names in the live action movies.

Does Barricade not count?

Also, not sure Dino would be considered an original character by all.

Anyways, you also have Scorn, the baby dinos, Daytrader, the Knights, a Submarine transformer, Cogman, Que, Dispensor, Junkheap, Berserker, Crowbar, Crankcase, Hatchet, Hooligan, Sqweaks, Canope, Bonecrusher, Jolt, Shatter, Dropkick and I am sure more than that too.

Weird, Shockwave is a cross between Cyberverse and Cyber Battalion. I do like both Shockwaves so I'll be looking for this.

You would consider Dino to not be an original character but include Que who has more in common with his intended name (Wheeljack) then Dino (Mirage) does?

Considering the Mirage name was entirely abandoned beyond a few-prerelease things like some merchandise and novel/video game appearances and has gone only by Dino since DOTM I think he counts as original but that's just me.

That's what they're for, in part. Standing in front of the three pegs of robot toys at a Dollar General or Family Dollar, or in the seasonal section at Walgreens? Here are the 'Authentic' Transformers, parent/grandparent/etc.

I agree!

This alt mode looks terrible

Ok, I think I've figured it out. The wings are a dead giveaway:

It's just an even more simplified version of the already simple Cyber Battalion alt mode in Cyberverse's colors.

At the tail end of April, several fans found the new Authentics bravo class Barricade in the US at Dollar General. That's been the main place to buy these toys. If you saw him and were wondering if he was good, well fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg made a review. This Barricade is based on the evergreen design which adapts the TLK movie design into a more "G1" style.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Authentics Barricade is probably the best Bravo Class figure I've handled. The transformation is solid, and while the joints are a little looser than I prefer, the figure isn't a floppy mess. Definitely worth the purchase.

I have this and it's not to bad

I like it!

Windshield indents make it look like it could be a new crossover figure, this time with Disney's Cars.

Joke made two posts above yours.

Once again, fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg takes a bullet for us by buying the latest authentic figure, Shockwave, to let us know if he is worth looking into. Turns out he is pretty good for a cheaper figure aimed at younger fans.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Authentics Shockwave is an ok figure. Stylistically it shares a lot with the Cyber Battalion Shockwave from a few years ago, while borrowing from the Cyberverse aesthetic and adding some nice touches like knee articulation. While not the best figure from the Authentics line, it's a solid entry and worth the purchase.

Good review, interesting design, I'm positive that he mistook the underside of the alternate mode as the top side though. Still, fun looking toy!

Unfortunately that's how the package shows it.

I think it's trying to be different from the Cyber Battalion version.

Odd choice by the designers, but I mean, sure?

Still a better mode than the spider tank.

I disagree, the spider tank can work well, if done properly. And the "voyager" sized shockwave from Cybervers was pretty good.

And I don't remember anyone hating this toy when it came out

I like these guys though!

Just not Shockwave's one.

The authentics line gets very little attention and that's kind of the point. They are meant to simply be exist and be available at stores that don't often carry Transformers. Be it Dollar General in the US or Canadian Tire in Canada or a myriad of other shops in South America and Asia. They are just affordable Transformers toys of classic characters and now we have a first look at two more, Wheeljack and Arcee. Wheeljack takes a major cue from his Earthrise toy while Arcee has a rather neat transformation giving it a lot more alt mode integration in robot mode, the most we've ever seen for a toy basing itself on the G1 character model. These images are from ACD distribution. There will be no further reveal than this from Hasbro and you will find them this year in any store that stocked the previous releases. Arcee is 4.5 inches tall while Wheeljack is 7 inches tall.

WOW, a decent-to-good Arcee that's actually affordable and plentiful enough to show up at any store from the 5-Below in every other large stripmall to the last dollar store you stumble across in the middle of nowhere. The kind of thing so many of us have dreamed about since '86.

Now I can add her to my 3rd cousins' TF box in Illinois this summer instead of the rereleased Cyberverse Arcee (starting to think it's impolite to horde that toy since the new open-window packaging has cursed her with disappearing-head-syndrome; saw it first hand in a Target last week - tragic)

First, Wheeljack has no business looking that good. Wow.

Second, an Arcee with little back kibble and integrated alt mode parts? Wow!
