Thanks to Youtube user laurent qy, who attended the Paris Comic Con where we saw several Studio Series reveals, it appears as though Studio Series wasn't the only line getting some attention and potential reveals. laurent qy managed to take a video of a new War for Cybertron: Siege trailer, and it appears as though there may have been a tease for a rumored new figure for the line. At the 0:06 mark of the trailer, there is a shot of some Decepticons including Soundwave, Shockwave, Starscream, and a 4th figure that looks a lot like Prowl, but is a Decepticon.
While we cannot confirm it just yet, it would appear as though this new mystery figure may indeed be the rumored Siege Barricade figure, a figure that showed up in an Amazon listing for the price of a deluxe class figure. While it was speculated that this could be a mislabeled Studio Series Barricade, which has been revealed in full, it was mostly believed that this was a redecoed Prowl figure with a new Barricade-esque head. And that appears as though it may be the case!
Check out the video below, including a still of the shot, and let us know what you think of this potential reveal in the comments section below!

Looks like he'll be a redeco of Prowl with a new head. Sounds good to me.

I'm definitely going to have to get that, since it means I can justify no longer seeking the TFCC version.

I figured this was going to be the case from when we first got a hint that a Deluxe Barricade would be in the Siege line. Now, I'm a lot less hopefull that we'll see a Bluestreak or Smokescreen redeco/retool of Siege Prowl if Barricade is going to be a reuse of the mold.

...meh, first impressions aren't great. I was hoping for more of a figure based on his evergreen design than just a Prowl repaint. Maybe my opinion will change when we get to actually see the figure, as this isn't a very good look at the design other than just the body type/mold, but so far this doesn't make me want to buy this over SS Barry.

A G1 inspired (Movie) Barricade was always destined to be a black Prowl.
What do you see as his 'evergreen' look to be?
the Micromaster is very much a separate character.

Barricade will probably be a straight redeco of Prowl, maybe we'll get a slight retool into Bluestreak / Smokescreen. I would think they would be in high demand. Prime Wars had retools across the entire trilogy, and they're more cost-effective, so even if we don't get them in 2019, I can't imagine we won't see them before the end of WfC.

We're getting so very close to the release of Siege. I estimate we're between three and six weeks out from seeing these figures popping up at U.S. retail. Since we have a pretty much complete picture of what will be offered in Wave 1, it's time to speculate a bit about what will be coming later, and how much we'll get in total.
I'm going to start with taking a look at the Micro Masters. We know of five teams or two-packs so far, three in Wave 1, and two in Wave 2. For the Autobots, we have Roadhandler & Swindler, Big Shot & Flak, and Steakout & Red Hot, corresponding to the classic G1 Race Car, Battle, and Rescue Patrols. For the Decepticons, we have Storm Cloud & Whisper from the classic G1 Air Strike Patrol as well as a "Soundwave Spy Patrol" consisting of Laserbeak & Ravage. Who else can we expect at this point?
The Micro Masters are replacing the "Legends" price point for now. The only recent line with a year-long release schedule is the Power of the Primes. PotP gave us nine different Legends Class releases, although one of those was simply a reissue from Thrilling 30 with a tweaked paint job (and a missing accessory). So, that's eight entirely new figures, strictly speaking.
If we get about nine Micro Master teams in all for Siege, that leaves about four more to be revealed. Three if we're going by a cap of eight, as described above. We also know from Hasbro that missing members of the G1 Micro Master teams will not be included in other two-packs, so characters like Tailspin, Free Wheeler, Seawatch, Fixit, Sidetrack, Sunrunner, Night Flight, and Tailwind are likely off the table (for now). I think that the most likely candidates are members from the remaining G1 1989 Micromaster Patrols. There's one more of each for the Autobots and the Decepticons, the Off Road Patrol (any two of Highjump, Mudslinger, Powertrain, and Tote) and the Sports Car Patrol (any two of Detour, Blackjack, Hyperdrive, and Road Hugger). That leaves one or two more spots open. We could possibly see some 1990 Micro Master Patrols, but I would like to think chances are good we'll get instead two more "Soundwave Spy Patrols." A couple of two-packs like "Frumble" & Buzzsaw and "Renzy" & Ratbat would make everyone happy, giving us a "complete" set of the most famous of Soundwave's minions. If it turns out we only get one more for a total of eight, then it might be just Buzzsaw & Ratbat. That makes the most sense to me in that case, as it would be a simple repaint and possibly a retool, instead of a completely new tooling repeated twice in the same two-pack, as Rumble and Frenzy would be.

We could also see Micromaster combiners. All of the Micromasters shown so far had the ability to connect to each other for weapons. They didn't show up until 1990, though I would be surprised to have Micromasters two years in a row.
Some combination of Frenzy, Rumble, Buzzsaw, Ratbat, Wingthing seems like a safe bet for a second or third spy pack.

Nope, I meant evergreen, but I don't blame you for asking/checking. I would prefer Barricade having his own identity with his riot gear helmet and arm tasers and such much more than him being retroactively made into a kinda lazy Prowl repaint/retool. Granted, we haven't actually seen the Prowl figure yet, but I think at this point it's safe to assume he'll just be hyper-accurate to G1 with a maybe stylized car mode like Sideswipe given the poster art and the overall theme of the line, in which case I'm probably going to pass on it as Prowl and be disappointed that Barricade just got relegated to being a black repaint of it unless something about it REALLY surprises me.
Also shout-out to Sabr for answering the question before I woke up, timezones ARE good for something.

Sixgun may have a lot of uses, including as standard pisols and rifles, not just bulky weapons platforms like Cog. I might have to buy a couple to load up Legends figures with weapons.
Smokescreen and Bluestreak look more likely. There's no reason to make the lightbar a removable accessory unless you want to use the mold without it.

Why does Six-Gun's altmode look familiar?
Stil Six-Gun looks great that's three for three with for the Weaponizers,
Screech, I mean Pteraxadon was who I predicted it would be and is another buy.
Prowl looks okay, but something seems off

So, it turns out Sixgun is not only not a retool of Cog but his altmode is some spaceship/chopper hybrid and not a ground vehicle like the other two weaponizers. Hot damn I'm glad I was proven wrong on all count for this guy.

I honestly wasn’t sure I wanted a Weaponizer Sixgun only because Scamper is a Legend. But this looks awesome and I am in!
Prowl needs his rocket Launchers. That seems an odd feature to leave out in this more war themed line, but the Classics Prowl is in need of a replacement.
Preditron I am more on the fence about.

Yeah, I feel the same. I knew he'd have Cybertronian glyphs on him instead of English, like Red Alert (I hope Toyhax/Reprolabels makes some stickers), but I'm not happy with a few of the paint apps. Why did they make his crotch triangle yellow? It's always been red. They use red for the head crest, so why not use some down there? There's enough superfluous yellow elsewhere on the figure, like those arm stripes (that don't need to be there) and the on the sides of the pelvis (which should be gray). I also don't like how the Autobot tampograph is off center on the hood either. It could have been centered just fine, even if it had to be a bit smaller. Finally, are his thighs and abdomen just a very dark gunmetal gray? I can't be certain, as the monitor I'm using right now doesn't have the greatest color contrast, but it looks to be the same black as his paint apps, which is also not accurate. Otherwise, the sculpt is great. It's a shame, though, since Sideswipe and Red Alert came out pretty much as perfect as I could hope with their paint apps. Maybe future Bluestreak and Smokescreen repaints (if they happen) will have better, more accurate detailing.

Prowl having no shoulder launchers is cartoon-accurate, as this line is meant to reference the first few minutes of MTMTE Part 1.Flashwave wrote:Prowl needs his rocket Launchers. That seems an odd feature to leave out in this more war themed line, but the Classics Prowl is in need of a replacement.

Sixgun looks great, Prowl is nice, and Pteraxadon isn't half bad.

I like all of these. Pteradon guy looks cool, Sixgun looks awesome, and Prowl is great, and his slightly different paint apps don't bother me at all. Although, I can't help but feel like Prowl's vehicle mode is referencing something with that Dodge Viperesque car. I think it's similar to Prime Prowl but he was a Mclaren there... 
Help me out guys. Otherwise, literally nothing from all of the reveals has been a negative to me. Siege is perfect with no bad figures so far. Can't wait for reviews

Prowls a definite no for me, could be interesting to see it repainted as something else. Sixgun on the other hand is a definite buy. Glad this line Is saving me some money for the most part 
though its going to be hard to resist being a completionist.

Siege as a whole doesn't look too Cybertronian either. I like it though, it's a nice futuristic concept.

Sixgun, yes so far the weaponisers can't do any wrong. The battle master? Yes. Prowl? Car mode looks fab, but robot mode looks off to me and its mainly the lower half.

No, it more looks like a futuristic car, like Siege Sideswipe and Hound. I'm fine with that, honestly. It makes him work all the better as a replacement for Universe/Henkei Prowl. Interestingly, it looks like his wheels are clear plastic, like the windows. I wish they had gone for a smokier gray color for the clear plastic, though. It would have helped the lower legs look a little more interesting and the wheels pass a little more as rubber "Earth" tires. After getting a chance to look at the official renders, it does seem like Prowls got dark gray thighs to contrast with his black parts, which is a relief. I hope the abdomen gets the same treatment, but it's still so hard to tell. We need good in-hand pics already! Also of note, Prowl seems to have very minimal "battle damage" at all. It appears to be entirely relegated to some paint scratching on the black paint of his car hood. That will, of course, make it a lot harder to potentially remove those paint apps, as they are right on top of a different coat of paint that you'd want to retain. At least he doesn't look like he's coming down with a case of cosmic rust like Megatron with his dirty mud "splotches."

Anyone else notice those square holes on either side of Prowl's head? Those might be for missiles that might come with a redeco or just used for weaponizers.

He reminds me of Energon Skyblast:

In regards to his shoulder launchers he does have those two small rectangular holes on his collar area which don't seem to serve any purpose so maybe that is what they are for.
