New Video Review of Transformers Earthrise Deluxe Class Barricade

If you pass on the 2 pack, I don’t blame you, & we can still be buds.

Exactly the same. I had a bunch of thoughts I was about to type out in response but then I realized there's probably a thread somewhere around here more appropriately dedicated to this kind of thing...so I won't clog up the Earthrise thread with my TF buying woes lol.

If they had managed to hide the wheels in the legs by flipping a panel it'd been even more awesome. I can understand the wheels on the back, they've pretty much exhausted all the free space in the torso.

Interestingly enough, they left the wheel hinge from Siege Prime's legs which allows you to rotate the wheels to the other side of the lower legs on Siege Prime, in Earth Rise Prime's legs, but negated it completely by adding the back panel.

So, yes, potentially they could have made it to hide the wheels, but chose to disable the option for some reason.

I think that reason was 1) to save money and 2) to give the figure a nicer looking back than Siege since the Siege version had so many negative comments on the top of the truck hanging out on his back. The panels they added clean up the back of the legs in bot mode and was probably a cheaper option than re-doing the legs completely.

My perfect prime would be the legs and ab wheels from Siege prime with Earthrise primes upper half somehow merged into a single figure.

IMO trying to hide the wheels is a dumb, unnecessary feature that's not with the cost and adds complexity that doesn't need to be there. They shouldn't do it with the calf wheels, and should stop trying it with the hip wheels. Just leave them at the hips on articulated struts like you did with Cybertron Optimus and ROTF Optimus, Hasbro. It would save so much smegging trouble.

Might get Barricade as a rank filler, idk.

Got lucky and found ER Bluestreak at a local Walgreens today.

I wonder if it's possible to part switch ER and Siege Barricades to make an ideal Barricade, so here's what I'm thinking.

Siege torso, shoulders and head.

Earthrise legs, lower arms and doors (never mind the door connecters are different between the two versions).

I don't have any ER Datsuns and don't intend to get any, so I could be remembering wrong, but aren't the legs completely different shapes too? I don't think that proposed combo would be able to transform at all.

If it did, you would get a car with a low, flat round front and a high, square back.

Well damn, I hope the arms can switch around at least.

Robot mode is more important of course, I was initially thinking of this part swapping to have the benefit of giving Barricade a distinct car mode from the Datsuns that fits the 2007 character.

The Siege Barricade/Smokescreen head certainly looks more sinister then the Earthrise version so at least the head sculpts will be distinct across the 4 characters.
