    I'm hoping it is Wildrider. Think it would be good for him to remain a European sportscar. As for the toy, i'll be picking it up. Whether it is through ebay or when it finally comes out in stores. Alt mode looks excellent, bot mode shows promise, as long as we see a pic of it transformed correctly. With half an hour left on the auction, there are still no bids on it. Good. $85 is waaaaay too much to start it off at. Probably would have been better starting off anywhere between $0.99 and $20. I honestly hope nobody buys it at that price.

    Judging at the closeness of bot mode, I'd say that this is Barricade reformatted, same tire hands, same side window wings, even similar head

    Not that long ago, that toy would have easily sold for $200+. $85 is not unreasonable for what it is and given how many months in advance one can get it.

    I refrained from posting ealier, but it was quite obvious that it was mistransformed from the beginning. It now looks way better.

    Eh, even with the new set of pics I'm still unconvinced that it's Barricade. Though, like I said before, it could be a possibility... I just have a hard time seeing them changing both his alt mode design and his bot mode design. Even when BB changed to his newer Camaro form in the first movie he basically kept the same bot mode design.

    Also, even though this toy's robot mode does share similarities with Barricade's robot mode from the first movie... keep in mind that the leaked robot mode of the Chevy Traxx also had design similarities with Bumblebee. And I don't see people running around declaring that the Traxx is BB... so I guess I'm at a loss as to why that is happening with this guy. Either way, to each his own and until we get some form of 'official' confirmation on who this guy is (one way or another) then I will remain unconvinced that it is Barricade though I will not rule out the possibility of it being him reformatted (though I'd still find it strange that they changed his robot mode so much).

    it does kinda amuse me that someone here suggested it to be barricade and then suddenly it appears listed as such by someone not from here.

    same tirehands, same windowwings... iiiiiiiittybitty feet. though really it only has one tirehand because the other one is backed by a buzzsaw.

    Yeah, stuff like this usually sells for high dollar. Though, with the way the US economy is right now I have to wonder if these early eBay listings will continue to sell for as much as they have. Just a thought.

    I get that, but look at Soundwave. He started off around $20, then dropped to opening bids of $0.99. I managed to pick him up for $.99 + $20 for shipping. Just saying he would probably sell if he was started lower

    I know this is way off, but after looking at it again it looks like G1 Shrapnel. :drunk

    Congrats to the winning bidder, whoever you may be. Aside from my gripe on price, he looks like an awesome 'con in either mode. Enjoy

    He certainly evokes a look very similar to Barricade. Now if he is, that's awesome and it makes sense, his cover was blown he should reformat to try and keep the disguise. If it's a new con..well, he looks cool.
