Its not really a suprise though, is it? They have repainted nearly every other figure so far...

If I had to guess, I'd say they'd repaint him as a blue NYPD cop car.

I really didn't care for the original much at all. I may have only had him for the majority of today, but I'm not looking forward to any repaints. Even if they do it in cool colors. lol.

They should do him as a saleen non police mustang, not hard to do, just take off the siren.

Still, if they DO paint him blue, I hope they don't make him Soundwave. It'd be too weird.

I doubt Soundwave, they already said they would probably save him for a sequel, and would they release one character using one mold and alt mode only to completely change him in the next film?

I wonder if being released as a figure for movie 1 excludes a character from being in a possible sequel? I wonder if there is a logic to it...

I only have 2 movie figs right now(that'll change come Friday:). One is Wreckage who I love, and is (in my collective) a Megatron. I also have Barricade, and I have to say, HE IS HORRIBLE!

He's short, wide, and ugly. He doesn't stand well, and his arms are pointless. Add the fact that Frenzy is just pointless, and I can honestly tell you, I am not intrested in any repaint of this figure.

I just hope the rest of the movie figs are more like Wreckage.

Wonder if it will be a G1 repaint for Prowl/Smokescreen/Bluestreak, or just a plain repaint with as a Movie Autobot with an Autobot Badge and a generic name...

I hope its not Prowl. While I may not have Barricade yet, I'm sure I would at least partly agree with Evilmus. In my opinion, Barricade is worth getting because he's in the movie. To me, the mold, while basically weak, still "screams" Decepticon. A repaint might work as another `Con, but not Prowl.

Maybe if its not just a repaint, but also a remold to address the weaknesses of the mold, THEN it would be worth getting. We'll see.

I hope the mold stays a Decepticon... Mainly because I like the idea of Barricade having a partner so he can do good cop, bad cop... Well, bad cop, worse cop, but still.

I could see them going for Butt Ugly Prowl ._. or the cop car in Defensor.

I agree with you here, but I have my money on it being an Autobot.

Yeah, probably... Shame, really, since this is really not an Autobot mold. Hopefully they'll at least put a new head on... Barricade's face would NOT work on an Autobot.

New Head leads to Prowl

I'd like that, I really really really would :grin:

If they do that, whatever they redo Frenzy as better get a new head too, and possibly new arms. Otherwise he'll still look like he's waiting for you to fall asleep so he can peel you skin off, and that's really a bad look for an Autobot.

Maybe as a Rewind or Eject type character?

I agree with all of this. Another Con cop would be great, but I'd bet $1 that this will be 'Prowl".
