Looks great in both the car and robot mode, and Frenzy is a nice touch. However, I HATE the hydrolic punch (it makes him much harder to turn back into a car), and the conversion from robot to car is quite difficult--his legs and arms have to be folded in place exactally. Durable, with few parts that look likely to break.

This is a pretty strong toy, and without a doubt my favorite of the movie line. The alt mode''s great, and the robot mode is very nearly flawless. Mine seems to have really, really flimsy feet and has a hard time standing up. Other than that, great toy.

Excellent call on the feet pegs crispy5 looks cool, I have the shoulder tops set like in the movie site pic, that is rotated so the wheel is at the back and the moulded claws to the front, looks excellent and a smashing toy.

He really got on my good side when i got him. I was really impressed with him and i think we should give him thanks for not being a bad transformer.

Anyone else notice that you can flip up the tops of Barricade''s feet to make for less traditional looking feet?

Nice car mode. When i first transformed this i was disspapointed as its a bit of a shell former. Mine has loose hips (the actual hip, im not talking the pelvis/torso connector-which doesnt work well) and loose feet. overall it feels a bit loose compared to the much more solid jazz. tHis toy can look ridiculous but by experimenting a bit it can look rather cool. Try shifing the wheel shoulder sections around a bit, even try reversing the lower leg (keeping the feet forward though) this allows for straight leg poses and then gives shins formed by car parts (if you like kibble). Not a classic design but im telling myself its a baddie and should look rather monstrous, which it does, i like the rubber head!! Its a shame the head doesnt turn as the bot look quite good backwards!

Got mine and I think it''s great. Couple of flaws but none detract from what''s a really great looking figure and a fun toy. Love the color scheme too. Been real happy with all my movie figures so far and it''s really shaping up to be my favorite toyline. Certainly the best toyline of any movie TF or not.

Really sweet con! Sometimes a toss-up between whose the baddest...Barricade or Blackout? Both are among the best Decepticon designs.

Mine doesn''t have the problem with the hips not sticking in place. The pegs in mine fit in nicely. Also, about the shoulder aesthetic, I like to do the reverse of what you did. Then you get shoulder pads and freedom of movement.

I really liked the alt mode of this fig; as a police vehicle it''s menacing and intimidating to look at, really personify to whole decepticon cop car thing. The thing that lost me w/ this fig is the robot mode. The arms looks really long, out of proportion. His had are molded into fenders, what modern day TF has that? These reminds me of Armada sideswipe... And then there is weaponry... oh wait, he has none? What is he a cybertronian boxer? arrggg. This looks like it should have belonged to the Beast Machine line. 3 out of 10 from me.

I have the protoform toys too and they are pretty nice. Kinda weak on the colors, but they are more solid toys than the deluxe movie figures.
I will say the review pics here dont have Barricade, and he actually can look much cooler than that. Its the others that om more disappointed in.

BTW, i hate that the scoring system automatically assumes you scored it a 10 when you post without scoring. Thats just bad programing. hahaha.. anyways.
I wanted to also add that calling this guy Barricade, although not a bad name, should really have been called Soundwave instead since Frenzy pops out of him.
Hey..didnt they say that Soundwave WAS going to be in the film. Yes, they did. But not no more eh? What a bugger...

Damn... that bad eh? I just bought a protoform Prime today (being my first movie TF toy purchased) and I have to say, it looks nice, smaller than I expected but sharp non the less. However, the ball joints arent tight at all. I had to add 2 small drops of krazy glue inside the socket, let em dry and pop the legs back in for tighter joints because before that, he''d keep falling into a splits position.
These other toys just dont look half as impressive but i havent seen them up in person. Pics can be decieving at times.

I have Barricade, Bumblebee, scorpinok, and wreckage so far and Barricade is the only one almost worth the money. Like i said, his hips and body dont connect, but he looks good at least. It seems these all have some fragile parts. They feel very rushed and scorpinok is leterally one of the worst transformer toys I have ever seen. If you buys these, be sure to go by the instructions carefully, as not to pop off any fragile peices that wont go back on well.

Barricade looks like one of the coolest Decepticons in a long time. I cannot wait to get my hands on him, along with Blackout and Brawl. Definitely a must buy.

I just got this guy today and my main problem with it is that the hips section does not snap in place to his upper body at all. With no way to fasten it in place, he comes in half when i pick him up. The pegs and holes to snap it in place are there, but they do not fit at all. If there is a tric to it, please let me know.
Also, his legs are stuck being bent so he cant even somewhat stand up straight. Its hard to tell from the angles in this review, but i believe that is just how he was made.

This... without thinking about the movie, is one crummy looking robot. It just looks soo unbalanced. Not attractive at all. Let me tell ya, these new toys and movie will bring in a whole different set of fans who will forever clash with those who have passion for what was truely great quality.
Next.

I wasn''t as happy with the figure as I thought I would be, I didn''t realize how huge the arms would be, and that his hands would be covered mostly in bumper.

Also, I think you have his hips slightly mistransformed. I think the little peg between the leg and the hip is supposed to stick out from the hip at a 90 degree angle, though I think your method of bending it to where it poses best is better, as his ankles can be weak.

I actually like what I''m seeing of this figure a lot more than I thought I would. Except for "Frenzy". Do we really have the petroleum reserves to waste plastic on crap like this? It is honestly the dumbest thing I''ve ever seen. He makes movie Skorponok look like a gem by comparison.
