WHAT?! How did I get here? Ohhhhh, you guys Beetlejuiced me.
I don't hate Barricade. I did get some stress marks removing the backpack, but my comment on that was more to prove the point that, I have no problem with backpacks, and it wasn't really unnecessary for me to remove it in the first place. You guys know I'm not a movie fan. I've never liked the aesthetic. But, some times when that aesthetic has to be simplified to work as a toy, you end up with some good toys.
I like the Barricade toy because he conforms to a more classic TF design. Car hood chest, door wings, hands with 5 fingers, feet, those kinds of things. Also like his head sculpt because he doesn't have a mouth. HE also has a pretty classic transformation. Simple is fine with me.
I like my movie bots to be able to blend into my Classics/Gen collection, and Barricade can do that nicely. We always need more Cons, right? I also like all his weapons including the brass knuckles. He's a cool looking evil cop bot in his C.H.I.P.S. boots.
I think Prime looks pretty cool too, but I'm in no rush to grab one. IMO and aligned with the TF design I like, Barricade is the coolest Deluxe from the first wave, and the only one I'll get.
Burn, buy whatever makes you happy.
