Barricade disguises himself as Hoover Dam Security?

Not realy feeling these repaints. The phone almost makes sense though since Frenzy did copy one, but thats not enough to make me buy it again.

Why is it called RECON Barricade, whats with the new color, and why is Frenzy all blue?

Wire Tap is about the only real gear repaint that does not look as good as the original. Love his co-sells though!

Recon Barricade also looks good, but I think that has more to do with what a great alt mode he has.

Am I the only one that figures Barricade should get retooled into Prowl?

Yes, because Barricade is more awesome than Prowl ever was.... even if he's a Rent-A-Cop now.

Wire Tap looks better than the original, I'd buy it - infact I'd buy most of the Real Gear range... If I could find'em in stores.

Recon Barricade looks rubbish - hate that mold.

I don't think I'm right on this one either.

You know what would be cool.... if you could have it painted in your local police car colours. I know it would be a monumental task and would never happen but it would be cool to see one painted like our local 'garda' cars or the British squad cars have some pretty cool paint schemes.... talk about your ultimate robo-cop.
