I was just transforming my Human Alliance Barricade the other day (and finally painting Frenzy's eyes blue), and thinking that he is good but definitely has some issues (the crappy restricted hip joint that gives his legs some weird articulation unless you modify the figure, the lack of a left hand, the awkward shoulders.) I'm hoping that this one fixes some of these and still manages to include a new Frenzy, but if not it isn't a huge deal since HA Frenzy can just drive HA Barricade in vehicle mode on my movie shelf.
This could very well be the first Movie MP I get. It's amazing how simple Barricade looks compared to newer characters. If the current films could have the same level of kibble as the TF1 designs along with the cleanliness of the modern silhouettes, I'd be happy.
Like Bee before, and Prime after, his transformation will share some tids and bits of the previous incarnation transformation, but in this case i think it will be a more refined human alliance transformation
Before we let page 2 end, let's throw in some resources and references! Between this and @capcomkai 's album, I think we're ready to scrutinize (ala, ENJOY) the ever-loving heck outta picking apart and praising this guy. Now, let the battle be joined (trust me I'm still waiting on MP Dinobot too):
final comment before page 2 I am glad this isnt the tlk barricade. I was thinking they where gonna do something dumb and make that instead.
I love that design too, just for different reasons. Though I agree, glad this is the first movie design.
it has easily fixable (and, i think, fixed by takara?) tolerance issues but it was the only prime that nailed the movie model's proportions, so...
