does anyone notice this? before the camera is put on Shockwave just standing there, do you guys notice Barricade push a fellow decepticon protoform, and a second one backs away scared, and is grabbed by the neck by Barricade, and thrown to the ground in front of Shockwave, where fire emits. why did he do that?
i imagine the guy with snarly teeth and claws who's a high ranking member of an invading genocidal race doesn't really treat people nicely.
That's because Barricade is pissed that they let the Autobots get away and that Soundwave was killed in the process. He's now next in command behind Shockwave and putting the soldiers in their place
What do you expect from a member of an evil army who want to rule the world and destroy every creature in the universe ?
The OP is confusing his scenes the prisoner scene has Barricade and Soundwave in it, not Shockwave. After Soundwave gets killed by Bee in the prisoner scene, a bit later we see Barricade with Shockwaveand Barricade is pushing around the Con soldiers while Lennox and Epps are above planing their attack on Shockwave
Barricade is a badass there; but come on, he got his ass kicked by 'Bee in 2007. Barricade better come back with vengeance in TLK.
Interesting to note that after this film technically Barricade IS the leader of the Decepticons, considering we know he survived DOTM. At this point in DOTM The ranking officials left were Megatron, Sentinel, Shockwave, and then Barricade. Considering everyone else got the axe (literally and figuratively) and Megatron was probably thought to be dead (he wasn't as we know) Barricade is the leader of the Decepticons until TLK when Megatron makes his presence known again.
well, to be fair, bumblebee is an absolute beast in the filmverse, the fact that he fought bee & survived is an accomplishment in itself & let's not forget he captured bee in dotm & could have killed him, ya know?
kinda like how starscream was leader of the decepticons for a majority of film 1...if we get even a brief scene of barricade leading the cons before megatron comes in & slaps him, oh boy i'd be giddy still can't believe he's still alive...the average lifespan of decepticons in this universe is like 5 minutes
wow i didn't receive alerts on this. thanks for the discussion guys and for telling me. I think I remember being replied to on youtube with someone telling me that Barricade was mad because Soundwave was killed
