    Mech Tech weapon is poop, but the figure itself is pretty good. The arms are the best of any Barricade toy and I love the headsculpt. Car mode is nice and the transformation is fun. Deffinately one of the better guys. The fact that I got him in a BOGO1/2off doesn't hurt.

    Most reviews i've seen of this Barricade, people always comment on how hard it is to transform back into alt mode, because of his legs. In the reviews, people were putting his legs together and then trying to slot them in, reversing the way he transforms into bot mode. But has anyone realized that it's alot easier to do one leg at a time.

    This mold isn't so bad, I don't think. He's pretty poseable once you tighten up his ball joints with the crazy glue / clear nail polish / Future floor polish trick. And with a little mistransformation, he's pretty damn cool! Definitely my favorite DOTM Deluxe mold after Starscream/Thundercracker!

    PS - If anyone has a spare death rake (aka Barricade's mech tech weapon), gimme a holler as I'm in the market for one, thanks!

    I love this mold. All the dynamic poses you can do are really expressive and true to the character. I just wish that a) the legs could become a little straighter for even more poseability, and b) the rake didn't suck so much.

    Stealth Force Mode

    I wanted to share some pics of the Stealth Force mode I've got him in. They're cell pics and aren't the best... I just separated the back wheels out and attached some weapons to the Mech Tech ports on the inside of them...

    Looks cool. I picked this one up last week. I gotta say..I think this is one of the more underrated deluxes. Its kick ass

    AND, as a bonus...now that fall is here, I can "death rake" my leaves in style..

    My only beefs with this mold...
    • He was announced long after I bought the HA & decided it was the best mold.
    • He has far better hands than the HA.

    Finally got him today. He's a great figure, quite poseable, great hands and awesome headsculpt and details. He's the most accurate to the CG so far I think.

    Even though I generally like mechtech guns, I gotta agree with everyone here, Barricade's is crap. At least it sort of- locks in place, but I'd rather give it to another TF since Barry barely can hold it.

    edit: only two bad things about him: his legs are a pain to get into the car when TFing to altmode, and his knees feel a little loose... he stands and poses just fine, but just in case it'd be nice to know how to tighten them.

    I set mine up with Topspin's gun. It works a little better. Then his gun makes a decent-ish shoulder gun for Sentinel Prime.

    You're right, it looks great on him. Topspin has lots of weapons anyway and already has "pincers" so his mechtech always seemed redundant.

    I actually swapped his legs with the ones from the 2007/ROTF mold, looks pretty good in my opinion.

    he posted them in radicons I think. Sadly it doesn't transform anymore like that, and he has a sweet alt mode.

    Sorry for the double post but... Officer Barry Cade donated his ridiculous claw weapon to science, so he was feeling a little naked without a gun. Luckily I found the perfect weapon for him! It kinda resembles a Police shotgun too if you have some imagination.

    Happy Police brutality day!

    Bonus points if you guess what TF it belongs to.

    Damn it, you beat me to it. Either way, still an awesome accessory for Barricade.

    Heh, that was quick. Rampage doesn't need it anyway, he has a stupidly huge Gatling already. I love how it looks on Barricade and it has the correct peg size so it's his weapon from now on.
