Barricade is maybe one of the characters that has been repainted in the movie line frequently. His cruelty was first seen in his confrontation scene with Sam Witwicky in his famous lines, “Are you username LadiesMan217?” and “Where is the eBay item 21153? Where are the glasses? But perhaps his most unforgettable fighting scene with Bumblebee made him one of the famous villains in the modern era.
Product Description:
BARRICADE doesn’t make friends, he finds potential victims. His seemingly benevolent police car vehicle mode has been known to trick potential targets into trusting him. BARRICADE has the ability to stalk and eliminate nearly any AUTOBOT he wishes. Humans and AUTOBOTS alike should take cover when they notice police sirens in the distance – it could be the last thing they ever hear!

Vehicle Mode Review
Barricade transforms into a Saleen S281 Police Car not too much different from the original mold except for the size.Mech-tech weapon is attached in hole at the middle of his light bar. Blaster or Gatling gun is convered to a robot wrecking claw for maximum destruction. Smaller than TFTM and ROTF Barricade approximately 13.2 cm in length and 5.2 cm in width. Paint casts are almost the same except minor color scheme modifications on numbers 643 is silver and the word POLICE at the back is black while at the door is dark gray). No FRENZY this time but the car’s front gear is inter-changeable (with two middle gears). Overall, he is a nice looking vehicle where his robot mode is hidden discretely.

Robot Mode Review
Comparable to a scout-size robot approximately 13.5 cm tall. Head sculpt details and arms are nicely engineered. Noteworthy weapon grasping and impressive robotic hands. Mech-tech weapon can be mounted in one of his arms. No ball joints in the arms but articulation on elbows and hands are very satisfactory. Waist swivels with ball and socket joints in the hips giving the robot badass poses. Knee bends at 90 degrees and bipedal feet provide stability in robot mode. The general color patterns such as black, white, gray, and light purple are the same from his preview mold.

Mech-tech weapon Review
Gatling gun convertible to a huge tri-claw chicken feet weapon. Mech-tech gimmick is to slide it off and spring it back to retract the claw. There is no way to lock the claw so you can just hold it with your bare hand or fingers. Entire weapon is black including the Gatling gun while the claws are gray.
Pros
*A more decent representation of Barricade in vehicle
*A better looking barricade robot especially the head sculpt is nicely done
*Poseable figure and playability is considerably great
*Well-articulated in the arms (shoulders, elbows, and hands) and legs (hips, knees, and feet)
*Head turns at a certain degree and odd looking face is design looks good
Cons
*Over-sized mech-tech weapon in vehicle is annoying
*The crotch area is too high giving his petite appearance
*A bit difficult to stand hind legs of the frog
Rating (In a scale of 1-5)
Articulation – 4
Mech-tech – 3.5
Fun - 4
Poseable – 4
Color scheme – 5
Overall rating – 4.1/5
Personal thoughts:
Every toy has a story to tell so here's mine. The scout-size car is a cool and show accurate movie figure. It finally sinks in to me after playing the toy several times though scale is not really an issue. The figure could survive without the mech-tech weapon or they could’ve at least made it a little smaller to fit in a deluxe class. Barricade robot has a lot of potential to offer with better engineered hind legs. Though it offers a lot articulation for its playability, the legs of TFTM and ROTF Barricade are more stable and manly looking. His grumpy looking face and entire arms are fun to play with. Should you get this toy? Is a question that you can only answer after reading this review. I'll leave the decision to you whether or not this toys is worth every single peso. Below is a quick glance between TFTM Barricade and DOTM Bariccade in Car mode and robot mode.
