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.

DOTM Barricade now has an evil mustache and soul patch.

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.

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.

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...

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

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.

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...

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.

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

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?

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.

Before I say anything else, I just want to make a point clear: I like Bayverse designs as much as I like Generations and Classics. But the gimmicks in the movie lines are getting more and more annoying.
I've never liked the first two mechalive and automorph gimmicks, but I totally LOATHE mechtech!
Not only are we getting holes in the alt modes of our figs, now they're smaller because they had to divert some of the plastic from the fig itself to make the weapons.
As for Barricade, I'm still on the fence with this one. I like that he's got actual hands and front lights, but that's his only saving grace. IMO, the 2007 Cade fig trumps DOTM has better bot mode proportions, and solid legs.

Good looking mold but the head is ridiculous. Funny, but unnecessary. I hope Barricade makes it to the third film, even if it is just to die. We need to put this character to rest.

I thought about the same thing ! IMO original Deluxe Barricade's head is very poor in detail, the new one is more similar to HA Barricade's head.
If no third-party company releases a head replacement for ROTF Barricade, I will certainly buy a second DOTM Barricade for the head transplant

Fantastic mold here. Far, far better than the mediocre 2007 version which never really resembled the excellent CGI model at all and very much like a downsized of the superb HA Barricade figure at first glance. Very nice work.
