its gotta be a diffferent mold... look at the hood, no line down the middle and v-shaped bits...look at the rear, no lines along the sides where the arms split off, just one down the middle.

I also think this is a new mold. If he looks good in robot mode he's on my list. It would be nice to give my premium Barricade a "twin," especially since this one has a real weapon.

WTF is on his roof?!?! Its like the disembodied arm of the boogeyman or something. These mech-tech weapons are killing these figures worse than the phoned in designs.

I remember when people thought that the Energon weapons were big, garish and ugly.
Now there's something far worse than that.

The Mechtech stuff is pure garbage... NONE of it looks goos on the characters in either robot or vehicle modes. Why does Hasbro always feel like they need a gimmick to add to their toys? At least the Mech Alive stuff was basically innocuous and ignorable.

I was going to pose the exact same question in the exact same way regarding Barricades roof. And yes, these weapons ARE killing this line along with a few other piss-poor design choices.
I have 2 versions of Barricade for general play/display purposes and a MOSC Premium Barricade so I have no need (or even the slightest desire) to pick up this one. All I can do is bow my head and offer my condolences over the brutal defilement of a once decent mold.

If Hasbro had wanted me to buy this, they wouldn't have given us the way better HA Barricade last movie, which Barricade didn't even appear in...

just from looking at the pictures its a bit hard to tell if its 100% new or just a hell of alot of remolding. i really hope this means hes back, he was the only decent looking bot in the movies and a decepticon cop car is awesome.

That giant claw looks pretty weird 
They should have just stuck with gimmicks like automorph, or planet keys, or even just left them off...

I hate to do it, but it has to done.
BARRICADE
Y U NO HAVE NORMAL WEAPON?!
....seriously, what is this crap? If it's a build-a-(insert item here) kinda deal, I'm going to be incredibly angry. Because I refuse to buy figures I don't give a rat crap about to get an ugly accessory that ends up looking badass in combined mode. (Though, I have my doubts on a cool looking combo.)
It reeks of PCC, really. Spring loaded gimmicks, combination of the mix and match variety.
Didn't they get the memo? PCC ain't sellin'. Don't sully good figures by including this crap with it.

I love the mech-tech stuff - it's a crappy gimmick that you can throw in a box and forget about!
My only concern is that if this is a new mold, it may not be in the same scale as the original Barricade. I'd like to have two similar but slightly different Barricades to display as partners, but that won't work if one is half an inch shorter in car mode.

No seriously, that HAS to be an arm. These ugly lumps of plastic have to combine somehow and not just be ugly lumps of plastic that sit on top of an alt mode and transform into even uglier lumps of plastic.
oh and, yay Barricade!

Ya know, that's a really good way to look at this Mech Tech stuff. A lot of time the built in gimmick really hinders the figure, but in this case you can just throw the extra stuff in a box and still have a good figure.

Why does barricade come with a gardening tool?

Is Bionicle still considered such powerful competition for TF that Barricade felt the need to tear Onua's arm off? That might have made sense 9 years ago, but I personally would've stolen Onua Nuva's chainsaw-roller-blades: I could seriously see Bay giving that feature to a Decepticon.

but yeah if these all combine into a robot i will be like wtf. the gaping holes they leave on figures are bad enough. I never had a problem with like the mech-alive and automorph stuff. most of it was completely unobtrusive and fit within the designs.

I am so pleased Barricade is getting a new figure.
This is absolutely excellent.
Barricade is one of the few things to come from
the Movie-verse that is actually worth while.
