New Images of Movie Deluxe Barricade

Awsome. Thanks for sharing this! Front paged and credited!

Thanks for sharing, but a few tips: set your camera on Detail Mode, and turn off the flash. Make sure you have good lighting, though.

Are these it? Are they coming out with bigger ones? I guess I need better pics with less flash, to really see the details. Well, to each their own, but I"m not really impressed with any of these, expect Blackout and Starscream's alt mode only(which I'm trying kitbash his head and chicken feet.)

While Frenzy doesn't really add much (unless there are similarly-scaled human characters in the works for him to harass) but at the same time it doesn't seem to cost the mould anything either. It's a harmless wee addition that I'm sure kids will enjoy.

The balancing issue is a shame, as is the fact that he can't fully straighten his legs. Ah well. He's fairly well articulated, I like the gimmick, and I can't get enough of that car mode. He'll do.

Decent looks, but the main selling point for me is that he's a decepticon cop car. All we need is a Decepticon ambulance now... And no, Cannonball doesn't count.

whats the point of frenzy?

frenzy looks worse than his cgi look. barricades ok

where are people getting these from ? is it ebay?

Yes.

And The more I look at that robot mode, the more I'm reminded of those god aweful robot modes that a fair few of the classics minicons have.

i would guess so

Looks like an ungodly mess when in robot mode...and what the hell is that other figure...nasty! Best kept in car mode.

The other figure is Frenzy and turns into Barricade's front grill/engine. Barricade is the new Soundwave.

Car is great, robot is passable.

Since Barricade is largely a new character, he may be worth purchasing. I appreciate the Stunticon aesthetic.

lol the doors on his back look like angel wings. pretty good, i like the chest.

are you serious? my impression is actually the exact opposite where I think most of the tf toys are lacking in the robot mode and not in the alt modes (way too many examples to list, which i would not bother here). but i can't agree more with you here that the alt mode of FAB barricade is obviously the winner over its robot form.

The Head, the hands and the pelvis bother me a tad, but I like it. :/

But you love the Classics Minicons! I've bought you some for Easter...

I'll probably buy this, depending on its vehicle size.

Free transformers?... Now I'm torn.. lol

i love how someone felt that frenzy's transformation actually needed instructions.

I'm all for the movie, but I can do with out the figures. I still really don't like it. The car mode is good looking but Barricade and Frenzy look terrable.

Man am I ever glad people out there are buying these off of ebay to show the fans what they are really like.

They should of had it transform like a mustang alternator. Michael Bay, such a retardacon

Actually, I got most of my movie toys privately and not on Ebay.

Meh. Not as nice as Bumblebee

Holy shit this line is going to save me some money. This is far and away the worst TF by whom I have ever had the tragic misfortune of having my eyes raped.

It's like a thousand Nebulans cried out, and were silenced. What a cruel thing to do to a Powermaster, that Frenzy

I love Barricade

Frenzy looks silly.
Barricade looks a bit strange.
But his alt mode is kickarse.

Wow, those robots look terrible. I can't believe how bad they are. The car mode is nice, but it doesn't make up for it. I agree with sparkofchaos, most robot modes these days are bad. Alt modes are usually better. Which is kinda funny, then, that the movie producers chose such inappropriate alt modes for characters with the classic names (Bumblebee, Ratchet, Megatron, ...)

he is my favorite movie bot so far

I'm still on the fence. Realistic Alt modes rule...just, I'm just seeing too much of a spider in his bot mode. And that Frenzy...I just feel so conflicted all of a sudden...

Just noticed his resemblance to the unreleased G2 Streetwise:

This was a great recolor, and it's nice to see certain aspects of it revived in the current franchise.

I think the "homage" only goes so far as Police cars are frequently black or white.

I still think he looks okay, i just hate the stupid Frenzy grill, its probably one of the dumbest things to include on this toy, and i doi believe most kids are gonna be like what??? It shows how lame some designers can be..

Lol, the toy of Frenzy doesn't look like a radio thing like in the movie...its just a white rectangle that pops out of a police car. Weird.
