Hm yeah it's cute. Might buy the lil fellow when in a regular toy form. If he gets a seperate toy or is included as a tiny bonus figure with another larger TF character?

Wait until the retail version is shown before getting too excited.

The symmetric wheels are also a little strange. The arm almost looks like he stole it from someone else, especially with that huge gun on it.

Feeble attempt at a R2 or BB8 style robot thing.

And yeah what's up with that massively ripped arm?

Are you saying that Hasbro may dramatically change the design before releasing it? Usually that is expected from the figures that actually transform.

Just as RID Fixit does - it may make for a fun little Legion class toy.

I didn't know the Nazi's hired Dwarves as Flamthrower troops in world war II I missed that Videogame level I guess - not that I'd put Midget Flame Thrower troopers past Medal Of Honor when it has GSD's driving Motorcycle and sidecars.

Well, judging from this:

I'd say I was right, it looks pretty bad compared to the CG. The blue is all washed out and the rust effect looks like brown spray paint. Coupled with the other weirdness from the RC design and this thing is kinda... :SICK:

Courtesy of the Facebook page Planet Iacon, we have the first - leaked - images of another toy from Transformers: The Last Knight! It's a deluxe, it's a Decepticon, it's a a returning character: check out below tiny grainy photos of the new version of Barricade. Impressed? Underwhelmed? Curious? Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

*sniff* I never thought I'd live to see the day that we got a good-looking Barricade figure... It's beautiful.

Posted by Megatron Wolf on January 25th, 2017 @ 3:02am CST

Looks like it suffers from the same problems AoE had, no paint, backpacks that ruin the figure, overly simplistic, cheap looking, easy pass.

Re: Transformers 5: The Lask Knight RC Sqweeks Toy Revealed (1854395)
Posted by Emerje on January 25th, 2017 @ 3:11am CST

That's some great sculpting, but if I get it I'll probably hold out of the better looking Japanese version. Then again, if the MP ends up being this version then I'll just pass on it entirely.

I get that altmodes (and to some degree, robot modes) change from movie to movie. Being that Barricade's didn't in the two movies he was in, I was hoping more for an update to the robot mode than anything. Thing is, that headsculpt looks absolutely nothing like he did before. Except for the big shoulders, and the fact that his altmode is a police car, nothing about this says "BARRICADE" to me. They would probably have done better to make it a different character.

Re: Transformers 5: The Lask Knight RC Sqweeks Toy Revealed (1854400)
Posted by Carnivius_Prime on January 25th, 2017 @ 4:32am CST

I ain't sure. I loved the DotM Deluxe and the improvements it took from the Human Alliance figure to beat the 2007 deluxe. A hinge to break up that back bit would have been nice too. This figure's a lil bit dull in comparison to the DotM figure but I'll wait for better pics.

Posted by Underc3211 on January 25th, 2017 @ 5:01am CST

Not a fan of his turtle shell but I like it. This kind of high tech g1 looking bot is what most fans were expecting when we heard the movies were happening.

Re: Transformers 5: The Lask Knight RC Sqweeks Toy Revealed (1854405)
Posted by Stuartmaximus on January 25th, 2017 @ 5:14am CST

Barricade! he looks like he's got a barricade stuck to his back! to be fair though...the robot mode looks ok....ish! nothing special though! it's just that bloody back kibble that everyone's having a problem with, so i dunno what's worse! that....or the state of the guys floor

The backpack kinda sucks, but otherwise holy hell that is an awesome looking Barricade!

Posted by william-james88 on January 25th, 2017 @ 8:25am CST

Too bad he looks nothing like what the CG model will look like (supposedly)

This looks like a very simple transformation and I am not a fan of that backpack, nor of that high shoulder wheel.

That Barricade seems bland. The paint, the design, it looks, generic.

I like it, and it looks like the backpack can fold judging by the hinges.

Re: Transformers 5: The Lask Knight RC Sqweeks Toy Revealed (1854459)
Posted by Microraptor on January 25th, 2017 @ 9:25am CST

I'm pretty sure the backpack can fold up like AOE Bumblebee's.

I actually kind of like it. I mean it has a few issues, but I actually like it. I hope Megatron gets revealed soon at least.

That is a great looking Barricade. He looks pretty similar to the CGI model design and it looks far better than my movie 1 Barricade. I'm excited for that one!

I'm liking the look of the figure, little iffy on the back shield but if it gives him widow wings it will be all worth it.

and why are the first 3 comments in the same order as the share your thoughts section of the original post?

You and me both, I mean is it so hard to work on the backpack so Barricade doesnt have a turtle shell?

Re: Transformers 5: The Lask Knight RC Sqweeks Toy Revealed (1854542)
Posted by kirbenvost on January 25th, 2017 @ 12:13pm CST

Looks better than any previous Barricade but I'm done with movie lines now, unless they do something truly mind-blowing.

Posted by Hero Alpha on January 25th, 2017 @ 12:16pm CST

Looks pretty good to me, for a movie figure. Barricade is my favorite thing to come out of the movieverse so I may pick this up. Even though I dont collect movie figures and like my TFCC Barricade. Where are people seeing the hinges in the roof kibble? I'm not seeing it.

I may get him to go with the Barricade I have and just make it Headcanon that he's Barricade's partner. Just need a name...

Speedtrap?

Spikestrip?

Shakedown?

Longarm?

XS-Force?

Brutality?

A fellow Transformers fan has notified us that, in the comments on the Planet Iacon Facebook page, there are some further potential reveals from the The Last Knight toyline, in terms of deluxe and probably Legend class figures. Thanks to Vietnamese photographers, we have a shot of the box for Barricade from earlier today, also a Premier Edition, and very similar to Voyagers; we have a new Bumblebee, very close to his Age of Extinction design and possibly a Legend or VERY simplified deluxe; we also have - supposedly - Berserker, a new mold that borrows heavily from Dread Crankcase from Dark of the Moon. Check them out below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Re: Transformers 5: The Lask Knight RC Sqweeks Toy Revealed (1854559)
Posted by Sarahthecutevixen on January 25th, 2017 @ 1:05pm CST

I hope berserker is a prototype or a gimmick figure...if not, holy scrap the toyline looks like slag
Doesnt look like he can move the neck at all,
Bumblebee looks like his deluxe right down to transformation and i am not convinced he isnt that mold.

So the barricade means that is the best we will get on that mold outside of japan

Once I get this new Barricade in hand I'll probably toss the old DOTM DLX into the trash! Actually, I'll probably keep the old toy in its gorgeous alt-mode.

About the back kibble, I can probably modify it into a riot shield.
