Looks really good and a lot better than the official pictures made it out to be. I think I'll wait to pick it up at retail or HTS, though; ~$45 is just too much for an HA.

 

Very nice.

That brown plastic looks a bit offputting, but I know that's just the lighting.

 

oh snap! Forgot all about Alice, duh. I never thought of her for HA. What's wrong with me?

 

...you changed my mind

...I have to buy three HA's now thanks to you -.-

 

This....

Seriously hasbro...does it cost that much more for silver paint that you have to leave us with the color of shit? Granted, I can take some silver paint myself and fix that problem, but maybe I am getting tired of painting over their mistakes!

 

He looks great, except for that brown. They should have went with black or dark gray.

that brownish gray doesn't look so good. hope he looks better in person.

 

Looks like this will be the first HA I pass on. I never really cared for the character anyway and something about the figure just looks off to me.

 

forgot about martix blue color that was hideous on some figures

ill still wait to see him in package i may or may not decide to get him if i do it be for feanzy ill transfrom him once after tha he stays in car mode i hate his bot mode looks great in movie but the toy sucks deluxe version doesnt stay up properly at least this one does

 

Thanks man! cool pics! I cant wait to get him next month (still waiting at least another item for my pile of loot before i ship it)

By any chance you have Alternator Grimlock or Wheeljack? I would love to see comparison pics in both modes!

 

wow, these pics make him look alot cooler than the official pics did. im definitely picking him up now.

 

Looks sweet. Im not too worried about the way he looks in robot mode. Im getting this for the alt. mode.

 

Eeew!
Who covered Barricade in chocolate?
I was going to buy it too...
Shadow Command Megatron has more of a Barricade Deco than he does!
I'll wait for the premium repaint if we get one.

 

As requested here are some alt mode pics. Frenzy folds up small and fits under the hood. Tried to get a better shot of the head as well.

The 2 Alternators I have are packed away so no comparison pics, sorry.

 

Awesome pics! Can't wait to get him for Christmas! ^_^

 

Looks amazing, can't wait for this to be at retail.

 

Any good post any way...?

 

I hope that Takara movie accurate version will be better, like Jetfire. This is terrible coloring.

 

I want. Plus I really wanna support decepticons in this line. Hopefully we'll get more.

 

HA Barry is so on my need list! That, along with the idea that he's only one of two Decepticons who are in the movie and turn into cars (Sideways w/ Alice is the only other Decepticon paired HA set I can think Hasbro would try, there simply are no other in-movie Decepticons who would work for this line).

I also understand why Frenzy was put in, but it would also have been neat if there had been a "holo-driver" figure (the "moustache man" cop seen driving Barricade, same actor who was the pilot for Blackout and later Starscream) too, then for playability reasons you really could renact that scene in the packaging background.
