First Images of Transformers: The Last Knight Deluxe Barricade

*sniff* I never thought I'd live to see the day that we got a good-looking Barricade figure... It's beautiful.

Looks like it suffers from the same problems AoE had, no paint, backpacks that ruin the figure, overly simplistic, cheap looking, easy pass.

That's some great sculpting, but if I get it I'll probably hold out of the better looking Japanese version. Then again, if the MP ends up being this version then I'll just pass on it entirely.

I get that altmodes (and to some degree, robot modes) change from movie to movie. Being that Barricade's didn't in the two movies he was in, I was hoping more for an update to the robot mode than anything. Thing is, that headsculpt looks absolutely nothing like he did before. Except for the big shoulders, and the fact that his altmode is a police car, nothing about this says "BARRICADE" to me. They would probably have done better to make it a different character.

I ain't sure. I loved the DotM Deluxe and the improvements it took from the Human Alliance figure to beat the 2007 deluxe. A hinge to break up that back bit would have been nice too. This figure's a lil bit dull in comparison to the DotM figure but I'll wait for better pics.

Not a fan of his turtle shell but I like it. This kind of high tech g1 looking bot is what most fans were expecting when we heard the movies were happening.

Barricade! he looks like he's got a barricade stuck to his back! to be fair though...the robot mode looks ok....ish! nothing special though! it's just that bloody back kibble that everyone's having a problem with, so i dunno what's worse! that....or the state of the guys floor

The backpack kinda sucks, but otherwise holy hell that is an awesome looking Barricade!

looks awesome. tell me that backpack comes off and works like a riot shield.

you can hope

I'm a big fan of the bulkier look, gotta say.

Too bad he looks nothing like what the CG model will look like (supposedly)



This looks like a very simple transformation and I am not a fan of that backpack, nor of that high shoulder wheel.

That Barricade seems bland. The paint, the design, it looks, generic.

I like it, and it looks like the backpack can fold judging by the hinges.

I'm pretty sure the backpack can fold up like AOE Bumblebee's.

I actually kind of like it. I mean it has a few issues, but I actually like it. I hope Megatron gets revealed soon at least.

If you wanted back sandstorm have you beat there nice looking barricade figure glad his feet are bulkier he was hard to stand

That sure is a full police car roof on his back.

That is a great looking Barricade. He looks pretty similar to the CGI model design and it looks far better than my movie 1 Barricade. I'm excited for that one!

supposedly, there are hinges so that it can fold

I'm liking the look of the figure, little iffy on the back shield but if it gives him widow wings it will be all worth it.

and why are the first 3 comments in the same order as the share your thoughts section of the original post?

There there, it's okay. Everything is- oh who am I kidding? Its beautiful! *joins Tiger in crying*

Ha!

That is some disappointingly lazy toy engineering. If the rest of the line is like that, at least I won't be draining my wallet.

You and me both, I mean is it so hard to work on the backpack so Barricade doesnt have a turtle shell?

Looks better than any previous Barricade but I'm done with movie lines now, unless they do something truly mind-blowing.

Looks pretty good to me, for a movie figure. Barricade is my favorite thing to come out of the movieverse so I may pick this up. Even though I dont collect movie figures and like my TFCC Barricade. Where are people seeing the hinges in the roof kibble? I'm not seeing it.

I may get him to go with the Barricade I have and just make it Headcanon that he's Barricade's partner. Just need a name...

Speedtrap?

Spikestrip?

Shakedown?

Longarm?

XS-Force?

Brutality?

Barry Cade.

A fellow Transformers fan has notified us that, in the comments on the Planet Iacon Facebook page, there are some further potential reveals from the The Last Knight toyline, in terms of deluxe and probably Legend class figures. Thanks to Vietnamese photographers, we have a shot of the box for Barricade from earlier today, also a Premier Edition, and very similar to Voyagers; we have a new Bumblebee, very close to his Age of Extinction design and possibly a Legend or VERY simplified deluxe; we also have - supposedly - Berserker, a new mold that borrows heavily from Dread Crankcase from Dark of the Moon. Check them out below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

I hope berserker is a prototype or a gimmick figure...if not, holy scrap the toyline looks like slag
Doesnt look like he can move the neck at all,
Bumblebee looks like his deluxe right down to transformation and i am not convinced he isnt that mold.

So the barricade means that is the best we will get on that mold outside of japan

Berserker looks great, that's the last movie Bee mold.

Once I get this new Barricade in hand I'll probably toss the old DOTM DLX into the trash! Actually, I'll probably keep the old toy in its gorgeous alt-mode.

About the back kibble, I can probably modify it into a riot shield.

Wha. . . That's just a crummy repaint of the AOE Deluxe Bumblebee! This better not be the mainline deluxe. . .

I can now say with absolute certainty that if I get any of these figures they'll be the Takara versions. The "premiere" Barricade barely looks like it should be any more than a normal release and Bumblebee and the dread lack so many paint apps.

Was there confirmation on the size of the new Crankcase?

Thats AoE deluxe bumblebee with less paint and a brighter yellow plasti. But damn if these are the premiere figures i dread to see what the main lines going to be. Sad part is people are going to buy this crap because they are blinded by their obsession, its only going to get worse i guarantee it.

Whats weird is that Bumblebee doesnt even look like that in this movie, something is really off here.

Ok, done catching up, my observation:

- Bumblebee is a redeco of his AoE Deluxe figure. I took the time to compare the molds and they match to a tee. Can't say I'm surprised, really, but that would mean we'll be getting yet another Bumblebee toy to match the current Camaro model used in the movie.
- Barricade may look Voyager Class because of the box, but the clear hook on top indicates he'll be put on pegs, like Deluxes! When was the last time Deluxes were put in boxes instead of on cards? His art shows something interesting: his knuckle busters have reversed letters on them. Looks to be an 8 letter word ending in "ERVE".
- I keep wanting to call the Dread "Crankcase" for some reason. Judging from the size of the rivets I'd say he's a Deluxe like the rest.

I think the berserker would've looked better as a crankcase repaint, but Barricade is still ok. Bumblebee just infuriates me. Optimus doesn't change designs and gets a new voyager, but Bumblebee has a great new design and gets a crappy repaint. They didn't even base it off the right body, his new TF5 mode is his DOTM look with a new chest. I actually would've liked a remold of the DOTM figure, but I guess I'm going to wait and see if he gets a proper figure.

At least there's that MPM-3 Bumblebee coming out that looks beautiful.

Every time I see cool spiky bits on a transformer figure now, I have to shake my head and remind myself: 'soft rubber'.

I do love when Transformers toys come out that I don't need to get. IT saves my wallet a lot of pain.

Bumblebee looks like absolute cack. Pass.

Berserker though...hmm. The lack of paint kinda sucks, but at least we'll most likely get the mold done justice by Takara. He looks pretty good- he's obviously mistransformed/badly posed (those look like digitigrade/"raptor" legs) and the actual sculpt looks good. I might get the best version of him and a DOTM Crankcase- I love the concept of the Dreads, even if they did frak all in the movies, and seeing as Crankcase and Crowbar looked mostly the same anyway, this will be a good way of having them.

Beserker's Dreadlocks look rubbery, which might mean his head could move. I still want that Barricade though.

Bumblebee is definitely the exact same mold as the Deluxe Concept Camaro one from AoE.

Bumblebee figure is skinny in waist section another repaint of same Figure from age of extinction movie movie figure we get but will never see in movie I like those characters in age of extinction would have like to see them last longer in movie toy figures are ok I don't see any one buying more of figures if they have original figures from previous movie

Yeah that Bee looks like a DotM knock off. A bad KO (I have a great oversized KO vastly superior to the real hasbro deluxe which I also own).

I like Berzerker a lot! The action pose pic looks better than the stiff standing up one cos it shows how his legs bend. He's cool and looks like a predator.

You sure you dont mean AOE? since thats the AOE mold.

someone(Scorpio) does speculate that we might see Planet Cybertron set revealed at Nuremberg! anyone else thinking that we might?(yes yes...i know the toy reveals don't ususally happen until the NY toy fair).

So these are the 'Premier Edition' figures, guess tf's are officially trash now, looks like I got a job just in time to start buying stuff from TT, thanks hasblow
