A little hard to tell since the bottom of his feet are obscured, but his left foot (our right) is not tilted at all, the outer edge is off the ground.

What's unfortunate, though, is that it's that much more unlikely we'll see Siege Bluestreak or Smokescreen, at least not in this first part of the trilogy.

It is possible that Barricade is a massive 'reshell' rather than a retool with a new head and color scheme, much like how some CW cars or some TR figures used the same overall body shape but looked different. It is possible that Barricade is even a completely new car mold intended to be used for someone else and they just added some roof lights and a new head.

It's also possible Barricade is just a redeco of the Red Alert tooling of Sideswipe

Don't count on Barricade being a simple redeco, or even based on Prowl, just yet. His IDW design takes cues from both G1 Micromaster Barricade, and Movie Barricade. Chances are we'll get a mix. Wouldn't be the first time we got a cop toy in the form of a racing car:

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:This leans a little more toward the obvious, but Deluxe Barricade could also be a redeco & cotool of Mirage. G1 Barricade and G1 Mirage turn into F1 racecars (Semi-related, even - Mirage is a Ligier JS11 and Barricade a JS31), they could easily share transformation engineering looking at G1 Barricade. And going the G1 Barricade route would be fitting given the presence of the Micromasters in the line. Movie Barricade's popularity could well result in some level of movie reference on him, but it might not be to a huge degree.

What is new, especially at the 19.99 USD price point, is a listing for a Barricade that we had yet to see talked about or mentioned in the line. Join the discussion and speculate away on what the character might be, given the original G1 character is part of the Race Car Patrol Micro Master team!

We are, but the listing on Amazon specifically lists him as WFC Deluxe Barricade
