    I'm not in love with his 'bot mode, but the Mustang kicks ass. Even if he stays in alt form, he's worth picking up for me.

    Not too bad. I was worried that they'd gimped the right arm to make the Frenzy chair but that doesn't seem to be the case.

    Looks rather stumpy but it might be due to the way the legs transform. The deluxe has a better silhouette for the legs but the increased detail, bigger size, MELEE weapon, et al win me over. Definitely picking it up, hope it's just mistransformed in the pics and will look better in person.

    Looks a lot better than the original pic. I'll definitely buy this, since Barricade was my favorite Decepticon from the first movie. I wonder why they didn't paint Frenzy's eyes blue, though.

    The hell are all of you talking about, brown? That's dark olive, at best.

    I'm not too keen on the brown plastic either.

    Oh, yeah, I forgot to comment on the toy. Eh...it's all right. Car mode looks really good, but robot mode is kinda awkward. I'll get it anyways. It might not be so bad in person. I thought HA Sideswipe would be complete crap, but I ended up liking it.

    Didn't care for the deluxe version. So far this is looking even worse. I'll wait for a few more photos and video reviews to make a decision, but I may cancel my preorder on this one.

    The only thing going for it is that a lot of photos of sideswipe looked god awful, and he's easily my favorite of the three out so far.

    The really depressing thing is that the bot DID look good in the movie, they just seem to be having a hard time capturing it in toy form.

    (I wish they hadn't done BB first- I think they've gotten better at this line since they did him and probably could pull off a better toy if they tried again. Even better would be if they got crazy and did a HA with the 70's camero- that deserved way more attention than it's gotten- while I'm dreaming, ice cream twins would be fantastic!)

    Yeah, I wouldn't really put it in the "brown" category.

    Personally, once you straighten out those legs like in the original stock photo, you have a much more proportionate Barricade. I think this one does leaps and bounds over the poorly detailed Deluxe, but that's just me. I also need an enemy for my HA Autobots to fight, too...

    While I'm not too keen on the brown plastic, I'm definitely getting this toy regardless. :D  When's he supposed to come out again?

    I'm thinking the photo is making the 'brown' parts worse than they really are. Look at the same parts on Sideswipe (particularly his blades), BB & Skids and I think that will give a better idea of what it will really come out looking like.

    Also, it looks like he doesn't have a huge backpack like Sideswipe or Skids which is a nice plus.

    I think a lot of people highly over rate that HA Bumblebee. I'd actually say this is pretty on par with it. That said, it also just looks like a slightly up scaled version of the Deluxe figure.

    I'll probably get this, just to have someone for my HA Bee to fight. Plus I can reenact the scene from the first movie with the Sam figure.
