    After staring at the base figure for a while, I just started hacking away until I saw all the similarities to War For Cybertron Barricade and bam, here he is.
    I use a couple photos of the concept art for ol' Barry as well as using the design from the actual game.

    I started by shaving off all the spikes that were jutting out from every side of this figure

    Clipped the rear flaps and added extended door panels and the purple grid through the figure's glowing areas.
    Crafted his light bar so it wouldn't intrude with his transformation.

    The wheels were flipped over and filled with putty to mold the more Tron like wheels without having to make new ones.
    I did my best to make his metal look worn and pitted with some chunks missing here and there. He is a veteran of the Cybertron wars after all.
    What do ya'll think?

    Disappointed that there wasn't an official WFC Barricade. This one is fantastic! Love the creativity of the flipped wheels.

    Are those custom decals?

    The world needs more WFC/FOC figures.
    This is a prime example of that. Nice work.

    I wish the Wfc/foc had gotten their own line, seems like a missed opportunity. And thanks man! =)

    And I used the symbols from barricade deluxe movie edition for the police badges and used a gundam Gray pen to make the lines

    This is great. :D 

    I love Barricade's appearance in War for Cybertron, and this is a very good representation of his form in that game.

    You are so right! You should have seen what this guy was before I finalized the Barricade concept. Sometimes it seems like the people who designed it wanted us to do more, the gaps and hinges on this figure allow for so many options. Thanks again Rodimus!

    This is the Barricade we should have gotten instead of that half-assed Prowl repaint.
