Please note that this should not be taken as evidence that Barricade appears in the sequel. The extendable claw gimmick seen on the toy is likely a nod to his appearance in the first film, and there is nothing else to suggest that Barricade will appear in Revenge of the Fallen.

BB remold still looks interesting to me: I only bought the black Steath BB the first time round.

BB's cannons are kind of cool.
Barricade's claws look silly.
I have no interest in either; I have the original versions, and that's enough. But I'm still interested in the new Voyager "Human Alliance" BB.

Second to that. Even though I wont spend on ROTF line, BB is kinda cool. Barricade looks really stupid with those claws.

They need to spend less time beating the dead horses and more time feeding new stallions.

Could they take Barricades that were already made and add these claws? Wouldn't they need to make a new mold and manufacture them from scratch?

Not necessarily...

So you're saying they could take Barricades that were already manufactured and somehow retro-fit them with new parts? Do the factories have that capability, or would that have to do it by hand?

These probably fold up and go inside the compartment that the old little frenzy went. This means it's probably the same mold but instead of a frenzy we get these built in weapons. I think this is better than the original and I will get it. I only wish they would make his head posable. I'm sure they didn't change that =(

Or, I could be way off entirely but I'm just fishing for other ideas...

...of course there are all types of "fishing" when it comes to ideas.
Catch and release for instance...
Sorry, I can't be down on someone for having a suggestion. I applaud you for completely catching me off-guard with that response. Did not see that one coming. I'm impressed.
And darn it all, you actually made me start thinking about those old toys on top of it all. I'm likely going to hurt myself in the process...

they were on a flatbed truck.. but there have never been any photos of barricade mustang being filmed... they may have been sold just like jazz pontiac at an auction

that's true......but if you think about it, the only Decepticon that has been seen during filming has been Sideways (outside of anything seen in the movie teasers). The Barricades that were spied on the semi-trailers we right along in traffic with Ironhide and the Can-Am Spyders, as I recall.
