@@lukedrane4409 Same. Blackout was kickass and a great new addition to the cast. He kinda serves a good mix between silent but big. Plus his companion being Skorponok just adds so much potential. I really hope we see him more in the future.
@@lukedrane4409 It sort of happened with Blackout appearing in Animated with a design clearly based on the movie one but sadly it was only for one episode i've heard he was ment to have bigger role in the future season but the series got cancelled before that yeah its sad he deserved better
Hasbro MUST bring back the High Moon Cybertron Games - I've said it before and I'll say it again. They're the best TF content, Hasbro is missing such a huge opportunity. Literally everyone loves them, and the designs are perfect, a great mix of personality and yet they still respect their origins and took creative liberties where needed and it paid off. High Moon knew what they were doing! Lots of love went into these games when they were being developed in all aspects: art style, sound design, story telling, gameplay and character depiction - and the community continues that love to this day which says a lot, let's hope the High Moon games come back 💜❤️
@@primegamer6712 I mean, was it all that horrible when the licensing deal resulted in their partner taking the studio that made the best Transformers games in a while and then butchering them until it was justifiable to throw them into the CoD mines? At that point you're just watching something you refuse to be a part of anymore unfold.
I haven't been much of a gamer these past few years as much as I used to, but if they did that, I would definitely get back to gaming for sure. Those games were so good and the designs were BEASTLY, it was awesome
I still think it's a shame he never appeared in the FOC game for the customization class. Slipstream and Arcee I can understand but cut him out? Not very cool. Worse is that they also cut him from ROTDS. Barricade just can't catch a break after the WFC game.
yeah, between that, not being in the second game, the horrible evergreen design, last knight's overwheight cop remold, and then becoming "just a prowl remold", he hain't got space to breathe
That's a very odd figure design. They opted for the beefier approach, but he has so many parts just hanging off of him that could've been smaller. I really like his appearance, especially the chest area, weaponry, and the car mode is perfect. However, I don't know why they didn't try to make it a thin robot mode that folds and unfolds to form the car mode? At first I thought he was actually Breakdown from the games, so maybe Hasbro actually designed this figure to be easily applicable to multiple characters rather than doing Barricade perfectly and making new figures for Breakdown and the like? Either way, he looks like a perfect Barricade figure that is wearing his vehicle mode as armour. Like, isn't Barricade smaller than Bee in the games?? Why does he have to be so chunky in figure form? He's one of the few characters that has the least amount of the chunky motif of the games...I'm confident this mould was made to be altered into multiple characters.
He's been mistransformed, the hip wheels are supposed to go down to the calves, but primevsprime has given him that double wide extra thicc surprise kibble management
Very interesting to see this figure get a review first. Out of nowhere a few days ago, BBTS gave me the arrival notice for Optimus. Its sitting in my pile of loot as I type this, I was honestly expecting to see that figure get a review up first since I assumed it was the only one to receive an unexpected early release.
After the renders and official reveal images came out i wasnt too excited for this guy, but i will say seeing it in someones hands and having a better look at it i gotta say, this guy looks pretty great!
This feels surprisingly substantial for a modern day deluxe. Having recently bought Legacy Overide you'd almost think this would also quantify as a Voyager though to be fair the articulation really suffers here, and the wheels aren't pinned or even painted. Other than that I like the Batmobile mode though for me it looks like a futuristic take on the most recent Paterson version. Also like despite how massive the rear section of the car is it still cleans up nicely in bot mode. The gun swap is neat, but would have much rather Hasbro used the same peg/hole system as nearly every class figure as they can be hand held, and swappable. Definitely looking forward to picking all 3 up , and can't wait to see the upcoming Megatron mold.
One thing I noticed when this wave was announced, there all the characters you start with at the beginning of each campaign, so perhaps the next wave will be Megatron, Rachet, and......Brawl. Ohhh... I think I know what the next combiner is.
You might actually be onto something since Megatron is pretty much confirmed for the next wave,now the question is,will Brawl be voyager or deluxe sized?
It really does feel like a figure from 2010. The incredible paint work, the ball joints, the limited articulation, the size, the movie Decepticon symbol, etc. I’d say the only anachronism would be the pegged on wheels.
I wonder if the only reason he's that big is for a future Batmobile crossover retool... If the other WFC bots aren't quite to his scale then it's definitely the plan.
Hasbro could make so much money if they did weapon packs of the in-game weapons for fall and war for Cybertron that fit with these new studio series figures
Barricade’s weapon seems to be the wfc neutron assault rifle Bee’s the nucleon charge riffle And Prime’s the path blaster But man i would go nuts for weapons like the chaos rift combuster scatter blaster thermo rocket cannon and my personal favorite the photon burst rifle
Definitely gonna grab myself two copies of this figure, one to display in vehicle mode and the other to customize the hell out of. Remove the extra klunky bits I don't like with a little plastic surgery and some extra paint detail on the wheels and especially the back pack. Great review mate! Been waiting for a Barricade vid for so long cause he's my favorite out of the Wave 1 trio, picked Barricade every chance I got when I played WFC. Sucks he was reduced to a multiplayer skin in FoC.
I was honestly worried about the the new WFC toys, cause studio series always make their figures small and abundant with quality control issues. This Barricade actually seems great! Let's wish the same for Bumblebee and Optimus.
I know im early and all but i hope we get a new set of combaticons for a new bruticus on this line! Its my fav design of the combiner and i think they can do it better than the original set
I've been looking forward to this since, to me, he seems like the best-looking Generations Barricade compared to the 2007, Siege, and Earthrise versions. He seems like he'll fit well in my collection and be a good rival for Bumblebee.
The lack of articulation and ball-joints are really disappointing to see. It looks cheap and it feels like we are devolving back to pre-siege engineering.
I never played War for Cybertron before. Also it looks like a cool figure to get. FunFact: Barricade never got a toy in the war for cybertron toy line.
This thing looks so good! Very accurate and well painted! Only small nit-pic is the Decepticon logo on his chest is the movie logo and not the more classic logo the games had. Other than that tho he looks great!
They don't have windshields per se because they're not intended to be driven so the solid painted windshield makes sense. Plus the less clear plastic used the better considering how brittle it is!
yeah I'll wait for Planet X to continue their work on the high moon game characters. Should've known by now that the hasbro offerings will almost never be as good as the figures we got between 2009-2012
The new figures are just so plain compared to the original ones. It seems really odd that they're so smooth and undetailed compared to even the legacy g1 figures.
Thorough review! I like the way Barricade turned out, though his hips and feet seem a bit disproportionate. I would love to see them make a Legacy style of Barricade that retooled the Ultra Magnus mold into a SWAT truck. This would properly homage Barricade's police theme from the movie and the substantial size would better represent his name.
Just bought it on Walmart, and I immediately searched for a video review after unboxing it, it definitely isn’t the worst figure ever made, it just feels strange it to be a SS figure and not be as articulated and having great engineering as other figures. It sure is bulky and big for a deluxe, but stills feels clunky when you’re handling it. Overall, the figure as an adaptation of the game’s design of barricade is a huge win.
@@octobotimus doesn't mean its objectively good, i 100% agree with you. but the only thing that makes it somewhat worth a pennie is that there is no barricade of wfc. But even then Meh really..
For loose ball joints I’ve always just put a tiny shred of paper towel or napkin into it. Although paper towel works a bit better. And you can color it with a marker or something so it blends better.
Clunky yes, but idc. Barricade being in the game in the first place was a huge surprise for me and being a huge fan of Steven Blum I always loved playing as him 😊 no question picking these GE figures up when they're available.
It's not perfect, but I really like it! I woud have hoped that, after Legacy HotShot, they would have learned not to limit the knees that much, that is the bigger drawback to me. Personally, I'll probably just keep the wheels by the side of the calves, but I like it! The idea of retooling him in the Batmobile is really good.
If they do end up making figures based on the movie games i would love to see the G1 skins from Transformers: The Game(2007) get figures, especially the G1 Jazz since it technically did get a 07 toy release as a Target exclusive and Shockwave from that game as a toy would be so damn cool
First!! And I knew it primevsprime I knew it bro you are the goat!! I can’t wait for the game edition Optimus prime bro and bee also I’m definitely get all of them may I ask which one if your fav bro??
awesome that they're making new toys from this game!!! but at the same time, this one's a little lackluster if you look at the rest of the studio series line 😬
Its interesting how Barricade is among the few movie characters that would end up becoming staple characters in the franchise
I wish Blackout would get the same treatment. I think Barricade is only been he's usually just an easy Prowl repaint.

@@lukedrane4409 I will say, an evil police car also have a lot of appeal, through we loose that here
The War for Cybertron games need to be revived... and possibly even remastered
I want to see those games again.
Sadly it requires hasbro to give the license to activision and...... i dont see that happening anytime soon
They already have been revived by a third party with the warehouse discord so at least you can still play all the games online

I agree. The question is what steps need to be taken to make this happen?
Hasbro isn't in charge of that.
I hope the series will return to be played back on the consoles.
Me too. I only played the DS version and while I love the DS version with every fiber of my being, I wanna try it on console.
Yea for sure
Would be cool if they did some exclusive, like the game disc, with a figure or 2
I haven't been much of a gamer these past few years as much as I used to, but if they did that, I would definitely get back to gaming for sure. Those games were so good and the designs were BEASTLY, it was awesome
I wish they would put it on steam
Sweet to see Barricade finally receive a toy after 13 years since WFC’s release! I’m excited to see that voyager WFC Optimus review soon!
Call me crazy but I still really love that FoC Shockwave. His spindly nature just fits his creepy character for me.
I still think it's a shame he never appeared in the FOC game for the customization class. Slipstream and Arcee I can understand but cut him out? Not very cool. Worse is that they also cut him from ROTDS. Barricade just can't catch a break after the WFC game.
Tbf with arcee and slipstream it annoyed me coz i was like why not at least one female bot in this damn game?

Cool, now let's see what DNA Creations and Toyhax can come up with for this figure. 😊
Hope that someday we'll see studio series gaming edition deluxe class Soundwave

Brilliant! This is the coolest deluxe yet!
😂😂😂
now i am excited for Megatron as well!
He reminds me how mid those earlier RID15 Warriors were in terms of engineering
I think he will be remoled into wfc breakdown. Both robot mode and alt mode have very similar general shapes
This Barricade figure should have been in Transformers War For Cybertron toy line back in 2013.
I hope it's figure gets recolor or retooled as breakdown
I can’t wait for all of these man
He's very kibble-y but this is definitely a sign of good things to come
First!! And I knew it primevsprime I knew it bro you are the goat!! I can’t wait for the game edition Optimus prime bro and bee also I’m definitely get all of them may I ask which one if your fav bro??
They did their best to get the design of Barricade right and the same thing with Bumblebee.
Funny you said that, I want this figure to make a Batman custom with 😂
Can’t wait to see your review of the new WFC Bumblebee 😭😭😭
awesome that they're making new toys from this game!!! but at the same time, this one's a little lackluster if you look at the rest of the studio series line 😬

you’re not the only one
I said this before the video lol
He literally mentioned it in the video lol
@@firefades3604 true
In Fall of cybertron, the game Shockwave aka shockblast 😉 was my main character in Team Deathmatch
Barricade?? more like BATMOBILE with that single thruster on the back xD
I hope they can make the other foc characters that haven’t gotten a figure yet, the Jetfire the Arielbots, breakdown etc
WOC figures are my favorite, Hasbro should produce some MP class figures of that.
Titan class Trypticon painted grey like in “Mystery of Convoy.”
Tbh I think this would look leagues better if the hip wheel chunks just stayed on the lower legs
Here's hoping for WFC Trypticon!
“Hey, player! Drop the chips and get me some ammo!”
barricade: this dark energon stuff better be worth it Megatron
I want the unique minicons from the Armada Playstation 2 game. But well Hasbro is shy of the small stuff unfortunately.

I'll be waiting for the combaticons.
