Guys, I’m so sorry for this one. I could make excuses, I could try to justify it, but the reality this is just a bad video. The scene from the movie is a buffering mess, I had issues with my background, and I wasn’t able to edit this one like I usually would because of the hurricane. It’s a sloppy rush job of a video, and it shows. Between my editing it on a different laptop, not having access to a lot of my normal assets, and just the general lack of time, I lowerred my standards to a disgusting degree. I’m sorry to everyone who was wanting Barricade, I could and should have done better here. I can promise you guys that it will never be like this again. I hate this video, it’s up there with Sideswipe’s video as being least favorite in the series. Regardless of the circumstances around it and the loss of power from the hurricane, I could have done better than this. You all deserve better than this, and I’m sorry I couldn’t cut it this week.
Barricade may not have been popular back in 1990, but the fact that he was the leader of the race track patrol team, foreshadowed that he was destined for greatness.
It's genuinely interesting how barricade has been featured in nearly every movie toyline except age of extinction. He's probably the best Bayverse original decepticon
4:56 My boy barricade, ever since I first saw him on a tv spot I fell in love with him, my first actual transformers was the 2007 Deluxe, specifically the one from the first encounter pack that my dad, may he rest in peace, gave for Christmas. Barricade is the guy that kicked off my collecting journey and made who I am to day, and I couldn't picture my life without this evil monster bastard cop. I have a little shrine dedicated to the guy which includes the 2007 original, The human alliance, which was a grial for me, and the MPM which is just peak Barricade in all senses.
That’s amazing, the connection you have to old officer Barry. I get how a toy like this can give you a connection to your dad, I have a few toys that acts as the same exact bridge. It’s those childhood toys that are always going to mean the most to us, don’t you think?
Oh boy! Barricade is the character who brought me back to collecting in 2007, the deluxe with the tiny frenzy figure in the hood was so cool! Human alliance is pretty sick too!
@@R10TDKM Oy, now you’re embarrassing me! I joke, but thank you for the compliment! I used to not like my voice, but the videos have really helped me come to terms with it.
That’s awesome! Cliff’s one of my favorite bots, and I really liked how his video turned out. I have to ask, since you’ve been binging them, are there any videos that stand out? I mean, I both a good and a bad way, are any of them particular examples. I want this series to be better, and I would love to know which episodes are better formats and which ones are worth skipping.
2007 voyager Barricade was the First Transformer I ever picked out as a kid. I had a few before, but they were picked out by parents. That Mustang mode was amazing and I fell in love. I didn’t even know the whole Transformer story until the film. A fan forever since then! And I also found that G1 barricade at a flea market a very young kid somewhere. No idea who he was until many years later 😂.
at some point in the future, i'd love to see an episode about the many (or few?) figures of galvatron your videos have always been very insightful, and i'd love to learn more about one of my favorite decepticons love the content! keep up the great work!
19:41 A big gimmick for a lot of the toys from TLK was that they had a weird red and blue pattern somewhere on the toy (the hood here) and when you looked at it through the red plastic shield, you could see a design through it. It was pretty neat for the time. Edit: also, Hot Wheels Barricade was actually and sadly cancelled, I believe for the “punish and enslave” text on the side, which really sucks.
Someone was telling me about how the tech specks could be used on the TLK toys, that’s such a cool idea! Also, some good news! Hot Wheels has already sent out a new Barricade. It doesn’t have the “To Punish and Enslave” lettering anymore, but it is actually more accurate to the movie now with its other markings.
I am super into the weird alternate paints of characters, like Shinning Ultra Magnus, or the new Missing Link Sentinel Prime. Recon Barricade is about the best we have of this character, and I would be thrilled to see the current model (WFC or Earthrise) redone in those colors. Give me more!
barricade’s always been one of my favourite decepticons, just one step behind astrotrain. the 07 legends figure is what really endeared me to him, and i was very excited to get the studio series one, but i think im still craving some classic ones. particularly the original deluxe because of course, but also the human alliance one, because i just really love that gimmick. idc if it’s not even very good, i just think it’s a really neat idea.
Human Alliance figures are always a ton of fun to mess with, and this Barricade is still awesome, warts and all. I think the idea of a robot and smaller figure having so much integration for poses and playing is great!
Greetings from Brazil! Barricade is my favorite decepticon. The main reason for that is because his alt mode is as badass mustang AND a police car. This is a amazing concept, the bad guy is the cop.
I almost made a very polarizing joke, but I’ll keep that buttoned😂. In any case, thanks for watching! Barricade has such a strong design, he might the best looking character from the Bayverse!
I’m trying to find the gamer edition of Barricade. While it’s not the best figure of him it’ll look good enough for me. Great video as always. Keep up the great work!!
I have that Barricade standing proudly on my shelf. Like you, the design is so strong that I’m happy to overlook its possible shortcomings as a figure. Also, thank you very much!
It's honestly interesting how out of the original 8 decepticons from the 2007 movie, Barricade has maintained being the only character to still have toys (as in he's still using the Bay design not a more G1ish design) even after the movies got rebooted with Bumblebee.
I think it’s strength of design, mixed with him being the first Transformer to talk on-screen. Barricade in a lot of ways sets the tone for the movie Transformers even more then Blackout did.
I still wait for the day there's a good Evergreen Barricade figure. Yeah, the G1 toy is great, but honestly I really wish we got that Barricade with some cool CHUG engineering, especially as SS86 continues to improve engineering-wise. A deluxe-scale or even small Voyager Evergreen Barricade, should it ever get to exist, will always be welcome on my shelf.
Strangely enough the only barricade ive ever owned, ironically was the dotm deluxe one. Didn't know it was that elusive as my grandmother got it from walmart
Personally my favorite Barricades are the Movie Masterpiece and the Toyworld WW2 Barricade, really badass!! Waiting on a third company or official MPM on The Last Knight Barricade
Great video! I'd like to have the modern G1 Micromaster and the Earthrise version. He should appear in more things as a repainted Datsun, definitely his coolest G1 style look.
I always felt like, following the first Michael Bay movie and the way he fell off the radar until the third movie or later, there was room for fanfic where Barricade just hid in the motor pool of some local police station and ended up bonding with some neophyte cops that didn't even realize their unit was a robot in disguise. I feel like there's room for a 'becoming the mask' kind of story where he gradually becomes less loyal to Decepticon ideology and goes native.
I’d love to see a story like that. It would be cool to see a story of a Decepticon growing to respect humans and that being a reason they leave the cause.
@@ronbondujon9690 Especially if one is sticking with the lore about the Decepticon Uprising having its roots in the breaking of a caste system and an uprising of laborers. Imagine Barricade catching one of his human partners starting to go dirty, abusing power against workers, getting on the take, and Barricade just going 'NO. STOP IT.' because at the root of his becoming a Decepticon in the first place was a sense of class consciousness that's been reawakened by learning about human society from the perspective of law enforcement.
That’s the magic that first Bay movie still has on all of us. It was the great first exposure to Transformers for an entire generation of fans, and I think it will always have a well-earned spot in the fandom.
14:47 Was DOTM Barricade really difficult to find back then? I remember easily finding him at both Target and Kohl’s. Plus, he is only averaging $40 on eBay while Soundwave is around $80.
I used to have a Speed series barricade but lost him and I'm so disappointed ☹He was so basic but was so much fun, I was so young then that I didn't even know his name, nor did I fully comprehend what a transformer was, I just knew that there were toys that could transform 22:47 He seems to be a retool of the original Legends Barricade
The turbo changer barricade's shield would've been used on the front of the car to reveal some cybertronian lettering akin to the classic g1 tech spec decoders
@@ronbondujon9690 Yup, they had that on a lot of the exclusive figures of that line. There were tiny turbo changers with that gimmick, few other one-steps with it added, and they even reissued Dotm voyager optimus with a new sword and shield that can utilize the gimmick. Not much else tho thankfully
I feel bad for leaving a suggestion when the list is already so long, but Evac might be a fun character to explore considering he too has a different design from his original take to the movieverse similar to Barricade. Plus, he might yield a shorter & easier video to make compared to say, Optimus Prime *shiver* 😅😂. Nonetheless, this was a great video in a great series & I'm eager to see who else appears in future installments!
Evac would be so cool for a video! I’m going add him to the list! And never feel bad about adding to the list, that just means we’ll have even more episodes to look forward to!
Barricade has one of the best glow up in the series, I really like this Decepticons. I agree with you the DOTM movie one is also my favorite, I also have the TLK he's okay but my God this backpack clear plastic yucks oh and I also have the Studio Series... which I hate, such a mess nothing tabs in, the transformation is such a pain and lol him and the MP have the same weird thing with their elbow, they weren't like that in the movie and none of the previous toys had that, awkward. Regarding the Barricade by NewAge I think they just made this toy shortly after Hasbro announced their Siege Barricade, everyone was pretty hype to see a Barricade in G1 so they also wanted money and funfact this design is actually an art by Guido Guidi.> I would like to have the CC/Timelines Barricade I really want a good G1 Barricade in my collection (My Siege broke, Earthrise is awful and GE has a lot of problems)
It is funny how throw-away names occasionally become superstars. Hell, Knock Out had the same exact origin as Barricade! If you would like a G1-style Barricade that’s cheaper, try the Authentics! It’s a great design, and though it’s small, he scales well with minibots like Bumblebee and Cliffjumper!
This is true, but I was going to focus on more thematic things. On the 11th, it will be Spider-Man (costumes) On the 18th, Airachnid (slashers) On the 25th, Repugnus (Monsters) Leading up to Shockwave on November 1st to actually celebrate Halloween. That said, we will get to Cyclonus before too long!
I have the tlk legion class version and hes a fun little desk figure:) but i lowkey see him as nemesis smokescreen lol please do slipstream and devastator!
I wish they'd make an actual Deluxe of the Evergreen design they used for Authentics. It's such a good design, and yet all he's had in Generations is the Datsun repaints. Him just being Nemesis Prowl feels so weak when he has an actual unique design that's explicitly based on the version of him from the movies that made him a star they could use and they just... don't.
@@wonderfulwalrus5715 Now all I can think about is a family of cops that only collect cop transformers. Just Prowls, Barricades, Chases, Clampdowns, and Red Alerts as far as the eye can see😂
That’s a fair point! That said, I already know who I want this month: Spider-Man, Airachnid, Repugnus, and Shockwave for Halloween. Cyclonus is definitely in the mix, though!
…Listen, I don’t want to put you at risk, but can you let Nemesis know I don’t have him on the schedule yet? Look, Shockwave has been stalking me, Dead End sends me death threats, and even Wheeljack pulled a gun on me the other day to make their videos. I hate to say it, but you’re on your own with Nemesis, man 😂
I really wish the nitro barricade had moveable legs, I love the figure but sadly it just can’t pose. do believe you forgot one, the red tiny turbo changers barricade, it was called shatter, but it was just barricade, I personally have it and it’s a pretty fun little figure.
@ So, my wave 1 Blackarachnia, Cheetor, and Warpath all came with wrong directions. Warpath had none, Cheetor had Rattrap’s, and Blackarachnia had Cheetor’s.
wait, energon barricade was rereleased in universe? the only universe release I know of that mould was the ROTF colour version, and that was onslaught in name
I remember having a Recon Barricade, 2 Dotm Barricade figures (my dad bought 2 of them, one for me and one for him) and a TLK Barricade. Recon Barricade has been lost to time, Tlk Barricade lost his life to my dog but somehow both Dotm Barricades are still intact edit: I completely forgot, I have a BBM Nitro Barricade figure, he’s somewhere in my room collecting dust
I’m sorry you lost so many of your Barrys, but it’s great that the DOTM guys survived! I also love that you and your dad share a pair of figures, that’s so cool!
@@ronbondujon9690 Yeah! I mean, my Hunt for the Decepticons recon Ironhide is packed with weapons. I can see Barricade becoming an Intervention main lol.
Eventually, but the big four are going to be big event episodes. There’s just so much to go over, and they’d need more planning than what I usually put into these videos.
@@ronbondujon9690 yeah it would be nice to see him in a show. What a minute... I actually remembered he was in war for cybertron on Netflix but then killed off in kingdoms by optimus if he is again hopefully he will not be killed again
@ Studio Series has gone on for so long, we’ve officially reached the point where nobody knows what we’re talking about anymore 😂. Imagine if we trying to narrow down which Bumblebee we were talking about.
I love barricade he’s a childhood favorite as the 07 movie was my first piece of transformers media (I was 2 funny enough bc I saw it in 07) but I was very disappointed with his studio series figure as mine is very not fun to handle as he doesn’t like to hold together in vehicle mode and is hard to transform but I am glad there are people who enjoy it even if I’m not one of them
That’s the sad thing: not every toy is for very person. If you’d like a really solid version of Barricade, I’d honestly say to check out that original version, or even the Dark of the Moon version! Both are incredible. I know what’s it like to be on the hunt for that perfect toy of a character you love, and I hope you’re able to find a Barricade that works for you!
My younger brother had the original barricade bc he got it for his birthday and it’s fun actually I made a little stop motion of it on my channel a few years back but I might try to hunt down dotm or just continue to put up with the ss figure since I have two one that came with clunker bumblebee and the Decepticon 4 pack remake (which I think is a better deco)
@@ronbondujon9690 oh ya especially the ones we lost along the way rip 2009 leader class Optimus I still have him but he is unrecognizable one arm no feet on leg and his head
Anyone else confused as to WHY Barricade never appeared in the Bumblebee movie??? I dont wanna hear that "muh reboot and nostalgia n shieet" crap, it literally would have made so much sense to have him in the movie to expand the rivalry with Bee, or at least make the movie SOMEWHAT interesting with more action and characters...
Based on how much Barricade and Blitzwing both are so heavily featured in the toys and comics around the movie, I wonder if he was meant to be in it at some point but was then dropped when Travis Knight took the film in a new direction. If I remember right, Shatter and Dropkick didn’t have any toys ready to go for the movie, and even the studio series figures that used early concept designs came out months later. Maybe at some point, Barricade was meant to have one of their roles? I feel like there’s so much about the development of that movie that we’ll just never know.
I wonder, did anyone see the police brute Barricade from 2007 and think OMG BAY RUINED BARRICADE FOREVER for the sake of nostalgia of some stupid blue and pink characterless minicon?
It would have been funny if they did! Funnily enough, from what I’ve seen of archived forums and news articles, G1 fans- and all Transformers fans in general- were just pumped to see the Transformers in a big budget movie. It wasn’t until ROTF and Animated that a lot of the “ruined forever” talk came back.
I’m not big on the Datsun either. I think it’s a good design in general, but I don’t think it makes a good Barricade. I prefer his Last Knight design for a Generations Barricade.
Thank you so much since it’s October, I changed mine to look more spooky and shattered glass and it’s my birthday month so I have a lot of reasons that I changed it and thank you for complementing 😁😁😁😁😁
October, the countdown to YOUR favorite holiday; aw fuck yeah! THANKSGIVING! WE GOT A COSMOS EPISODE YA'LL! edit: oh... I... this is fine too. I guess. whatever.
Guys, I’m so sorry for this one. I could make excuses, I could try to justify it, but the reality this is just a bad video. The scene from the movie is a buffering mess, I had issues with my background, and I wasn’t able to edit this one like I usually would because of the hurricane. It’s a sloppy rush job of a video, and it shows. Between my editing it on a different laptop, not having access to a lot of my normal assets, and just the general lack of time, I lowerred my standards to a disgusting degree. I’m sorry to everyone who was wanting Barricade, I could and should have done better here. I can promise you guys that it will never be like this again.

Hey, it's all good. I just thought you were giving pause to frames of the character 😄
Don't be too hard on yourself!
We understand and honestly I don't think most of us even noticed these issues. We love your videos!
Don’t worry about it chief! The video’s great anyways, I don’t really care all too much about the (Small) editing issues

I think that’s always going to be his crown. He hit the zeitgeist like no other Bayverse bot did.
My boy Barricade got a "The many toys of" before Optimus
That’s cuz if he covered Optimus, it probably would’ve been a 4 hour video cuz Optimus has at least 2 figures per line, series and toyline
Ain’t that the truth?
I live in active fear of the day I have to do the Optimus video.
Barricade had one of the best glow ups in the franchise
If you completely ignore the Bayverse head designs, I agree
I don’t know, I think Barricade has one of the better ones. I like his pointy head.
For real! He’s right up there with Knock Out and Bulkhead!

I used to have a Speed series barricade but lost him and I'm so disappointed ☹He was so basic but was so much fun, I was so young then that I didn't even know his name, nor did I fully comprehend what a transformer was, I just knew that there were toys that could transform 22:47
He seems to be a retool of the original Legends Barricade
He is really close to Legends Barricade, right down to the transformation!
The turbo changer barricade's shield would've been used on the front of the car to reveal some cybertronian lettering akin to the classic g1 tech spec decoders
Oh, cool! I didn’t even catch that!
@@ronbondujon9690 Yup, they had that on a lot of the exclusive figures of that line. There were tiny turbo changers with that gimmick, few other one-steps with it added, and they even reissued Dotm voyager optimus with a new sword and shield that can utilize the gimmick. Not much else tho thankfully
@@chadderbug7587 Wow, I have no memory of that at all. It’s funny how whole lines can just be forgotten like that.
I feel bad for leaving a suggestion when the list is already so long, but Evac might be a fun character to explore considering he too has a different design from his original take to the movieverse similar to Barricade. Plus, he might yield a shorter & easier video to make compared to say, Optimus Prime *shiver* 😅😂. Nonetheless, this was a great video in a great series & I'm eager to see who else appears in future installments!
Evac would be so cool for a video! I’m going add him to the list! And never feel bad about adding to the list, that just means we’ll have even more episodes to look forward to!
Was you able to find the Maketoys seeker wrist and bicep swivel? They're there along with a pretty good ankle rocker in there too👍
I was! Thank you so much for telling me about them!
@@ronbondujon9690 🤜🏻🤛👍

Barricade has one of the best glow up in the series, I really like this Decepticons. I agree with you the DOTM movie one is also my favorite, I also have the TLK he's okay but my God this backpack clear plastic yucks oh and I also have the Studio Series... which I hate, such a mess nothing tabs in, the transformation is such a pain and lol him and the MP have the same weird thing with their elbow, they weren't like that in the movie and none of the previous toys had that, awkward.
Regarding the Barricade by NewAge I think they just made this toy shortly after Hasbro announced their Siege Barricade, everyone was pretty hype to see a Barricade in G1 so they also wanted money and funfact this design is actually an art by Guido Guidi.>
I would like to have the CC/Timelines Barricade I really want a good G1 Barricade in my collection (My Siege broke, Earthrise is awful and GE has a lot of problems)
It is funny how throw-away names occasionally become superstars. Hell, Knock Out had the same exact origin as Barricade!
If you would like a G1-style Barricade that’s cheaper, try the Authentics! It’s a great design, and though it’s small, he scales well with minibots like Bumblebee and Cliffjumper!
Man I love Barricade.
He’s so cool! It’s hard to dislike him.
great video man, half of the toys I didn't even know existed, but where's my video?
We need the shockwave video
November 1st. You’re going to be my Halloween special. You know, mad scientist and all, it made sense!
both the newage and wfc figures are based off of a piece of guido guidi art depicting a hypothetical g1 barricade as a datsun
I never realized that! That’s so cool, it’s crazy how many amazing figures are from Guidi’s designs. The guy’s a genius.
i love the Micromaster Barricade/ Runner
He’s a lil dood!
Since we're doing Decepticons this month, how about doin' Cyclonus? Certainly he has a lot of stuff made for him lol
This is true, but I was going to focus on more thematic things.
On the 11th, it will be Spider-Man (costumes)
On the 18th, Airachnid (slashers)
On the 25th, Repugnus (Monsters)
Leading up to Shockwave on November 1st to actually celebrate Halloween.
That said, we will get to Cyclonus before too long!
@@ronbondujon9690 Ah, I see. Can't wait to see those, they're really good picks! I really love your vids.
@@SuperSnakeFM Thanks! I’m happy people seem to like them!
you should do blackout next
and I have the dotm one, is it really hard to find I got it for $15 on ebay
No, I was thinking about a few years ago before studio series and didn’t do my due diligence.
One day! I have him on my list, and I’ll make it before too long!
I have the tlk legion class version and hes a fun little desk figure:) but i lowkey see him as nemesis smokescreen lol please do slipstream and devastator!
I got them both on my list! We’ll get to them before too long!
I've always had a soft spot for evergreen barricade hopefully he gets a good figure
I would love a proper Generations figure of that design! The Authentics is nice, but I want a fuller figure.
@@ronbondujon9690 same its such a good design
I wish they'd make an actual Deluxe of the Evergreen design they used for Authentics. It's such a good design, and yet all he's had in Generations is the Datsun repaints. Him just being Nemesis Prowl feels so weak when he has an actual unique design that's explicitly based on the version of him from the movies that made him a star they could use and they just... don't.
I love Vagelus idea of taking the first movie Barricade and finding an evergreen version of that look, complete with the colors and the shoulders.
My first ever transformer was 2007 deluxe barricade
That would have been a good first! Mine was Bumblebee, because I’m basic like that.
@ronbondujon9690 i have a lot of cops in my family and my mom saw barricade in 2007 and bought it for me little did she know hes a bit of a bad cop😂
@@wonderfulwalrus5715 Now all I can think about is a family of cops that only collect cop transformers. Just Prowls, Barricades, Chases, Clampdowns, and Red Alerts as far as the eye can see😂
@@ronbondujon9690 lol i always wanted my uncles two he had both barricade and recon barricade
@ronbondujon9690 right now i only have two barrys MPM barricade and human alliance barricade which i modified
You should do cyclonus this month that would be so cool (especially because he looks kinda like a skeleton in idw)
That’s a fair point! That said, I already know who I want this month: Spider-Man, Airachnid, Repugnus, and Shockwave for Halloween. Cyclonus is definitely in the mix, though!
Please bring Nemesis Prima on the next episode because he intends to dismember me piece by piece.
…Listen, I don’t want to put you at risk, but can you let Nemesis know I don’t have him on the schedule yet? Look, Shockwave has been stalking me, Dead End sends me death threats, and even Wheeljack pulled a gun on me the other day to make their videos. I hate to say it, but you’re on your own with Nemesis, man 😂
Unrelated to the video:
are you going to be doing more streams in the future? the last one was really sick
Also I would suggest doing the many figures of wheeljack, mirage or wreck-gar
Got all three on my list!
I want to do more, I had such a great time with you guys! The next time I get something to build up, we’ll do a stream!
I really wish the nitro barricade had moveable legs, I love the figure but sadly it just can’t pose. do believe you forgot one, the red tiny turbo changers barricade, it was called shatter, but it was just barricade, I personally have it and it’s a pretty fun little figure.
That’s a fun toy! That said, I’m saving it for Shatter’s video. Repaint or not, that’s her toy.
@@ronbondujon9690 yeah, also for some reason the instructions aren't the right figure.
@ That’s so weird. I know it happens sometimes; almost all Kingdom guys came with the wrong directions.
@@ronbondujon9690 yeah, wait, the kingdom figure came with the wrong directions??
@ So, my wave 1 Blackarachnia, Cheetor, and Warpath all came with wrong directions. Warpath had none, Cheetor had Rattrap’s, and Blackarachnia had Cheetor’s.
wait, energon barricade was rereleased in universe? the only universe release I know of that mould was the ROTF colour version, and that was onslaught in name
It was wild! Energon Barricade and Universe Barricade- which, keep in mind, are the same toy- shared shelf space!
Could you maybe do megatron next?
The big 4 are going to be massive projects, and I’m just not ready for them yet. One day, we will do Megatron, though!
From now on im going to call recon barricade roadblock
It works, I love Recon Barry’s color scheme! Also, loving your pfp; they look very polite!
I think both Siege and that 3P one are based on like guido guidi or someone's concept art
Someone was telling me about that! Guidi is so good on designs, it’s incredible!
“Are you username ladiesman 217?!” Those were the first lines spoken by a transformer in live action🥲
Unless you count Blackout’s gibberish.
I remember having a Recon Barricade, 2 Dotm Barricade figures (my dad bought 2 of them, one for me and one for him) and a TLK Barricade. Recon Barricade has been lost to time, Tlk Barricade lost his life to my dog but somehow both Dotm Barricades are still intact
edit: I completely forgot, I have a BBM Nitro Barricade figure, he’s somewhere in my room collecting dust
I’m sorry you lost so many of your Barrys, but it’s great that the DOTM guys survived! I also love that you and your dad share a pair of figures, that’s so cool!
I actually have mechtech barricade lol. I thought it was the original 2007 barricade when i first got it as a kid.
How do you enjoy it? Is it a fun toy to poke around with?
@@ronbondujon9690 sure is! Tho I did lose it's mechtech weapon :(
@@valarmathypalpanaban7928 Hey, at least you still Officer Barry! He’ll confiscate a new weapon!
@@ronbondujon9690 Yeah! I mean, my Hunt for the Decepticons recon Ironhide is packed with weapons. I can see Barricade becoming an Intervention main lol.
My boy gets his video Lez go
I hope you enjoyed it. I’m sorry for how rough this was, I could and should have made a better video.
@@ronbondujon9690 I did!
Next vid idea =(the many toys of dread wing)
I’ll add him to the list!
Are u ever gonna do megatron ???
Eventually, but the big four are going to be big event episodes. There’s just so much to go over, and they’d need more planning than what I usually put into these videos.
it would be awesome for episode 86 to be the unicron one
You know, that’s honestly a really cool idea!
The next video should be about a mindwipe
Not quite yet, but Mindwipe will get a video!
Can’t think of any helicopter puns, just going to launch the suggestion of Spinister at you, and hope you give it a whirl.
Love myself some Scavengers, so many one day!
Love this like always! Play do inferno 🙏😭

Hope you had a good day
Thanks, pal. I hope you do, too!
i would love to see one on brainstorm
Brainstorm is one of my absolute favorites, we’ll definitely get there before too much longer!
I hope he'll be in the movies again
It would also be cool to see him in a show! For how loved Barricade is, he’s so underrepresented in media!
@@ronbondujon9690 yeah it would be nice to see him in a show. What a minute... I actually remembered he was in war for cybertron on Netflix but then killed off in kingdoms by optimus if he is again hopefully he will not be killed again
@@Frostwave-v2l I won’t lie, I forgot that show existed. And I just talked about with someone like two days ago😳
WWII vehicle mode is known as a Kubelwagen.
Oh, cool! I didn’t know it was based on an actual car!
@ronbondujon9690 many years later, Volkswagen would do a limited commercial run in the US selling it as The Thing.
@ There was a car called “The Thing”? That’s incredible 😂
can you do a video on mixmaster?
That would be sick! I just want to wait to see the Studio Series one!
@@ronbondujon9690 there is a studio series version of that figure one from the ROTF
@@ruubensoto7754 Right! I mean G1 Mixmaster from SS86.
@@ronbondujon9690 oh right im gonna try to get the ss86 combiners
@ Studio Series has gone on for so long, we’ve officially reached the point where nobody knows what we’re talking about anymore 😂. Imagine if we trying to narrow down which Bumblebee we were talking about.
Can you please do one on every toy of warpath??
We will someday! A lot of people have been wanting Warpath!
Can you do the many lugnut figures there are?
Hey, Big Daddy! He’s one of my favorites! And Lugnut absolutely Will get a video one day!
I love barricade he’s a childhood favorite as the 07 movie was my first piece of transformers media (I was 2 funny enough bc I saw it in 07) but I was very disappointed with his studio series figure as mine is very not fun to handle as he doesn’t like to hold together in vehicle mode and is hard to transform but I am glad there are people who enjoy it even if I’m not one of them
That’s the sad thing: not every toy is for very person. If you’d like a really solid version of Barricade, I’d honestly say to check out that original version, or even the Dark of the Moon version! Both are incredible. I know what’s it like to be on the hunt for that perfect toy of a character you love, and I hope you’re able to find a Barricade that works for you!
My younger brother had the original barricade bc he got it for his birthday and it’s fun actually I made a little stop motion of it on my channel a few years back but I might try to hunt down dotm or just continue to put up with the ss figure since I have two one that came with clunker bumblebee and the Decepticon 4 pack remake (which I think is a better deco)
@ Nothing like those childhood toys, right? Those guys are always the most special.
@@ronbondujon9690 oh ya especially the ones we lost along the way rip 2009 leader class Optimus I still have him but he is unrecognizable one arm no feet on leg and his head
@ If you ever wanted to try to repair him, maybe you could find broken versions of the toy and then Frankenstein a full Optimus back together.

Do you think it’s firrib or fibrir
Personally, Rumble is blue in this house. That said, I don’t really fight people over it. I just get kinda confused sometimes. Which side are you on?
Firrib
@@Cheesimusprime2012 Hell, yeah!
Anyone else confused as to WHY Barricade never appeared in the Bumblebee movie??? I dont wanna hear that "muh reboot and nostalgia n shieet" crap, it literally would have made so much sense to have him in the movie to expand the rivalry with Bee, or at least make the movie SOMEWHAT interesting with more action and characters...
Based on how much Barricade and Blitzwing both are so heavily featured in the toys and comics around the movie, I wonder if he was meant to be in it at some point but was then dropped when Travis Knight took the film in a new direction. If I remember right, Shatter and Dropkick didn’t have any toys ready to go for the movie, and even the studio series figures that used early concept designs came out months later. Maybe at some point, Barricade was meant to have one of their roles? I feel like there’s so much about the development of that movie that we’ll just never know.
we need blurr
Absolutely! We’ll get to him one day!
I wonder, did anyone see the police brute Barricade from 2007 and think OMG BAY RUINED BARRICADE FOREVER for the sake of nostalgia of some stupid blue and pink characterless minicon?
It would have been funny if they did! Funnily enough, from what I’ve seen of archived forums and news articles, G1 fans- and all Transformers fans in general- were just pumped to see the Transformers in a big budget movie. It wasn’t until ROTF and Animated that a lot of the “ruined forever” talk came back.
Yipee
🥳
Honestly I love the design of Barricade in War for Cybertron and legacy versions of him ruined his design
I’m not big on the Datsun either. I think it’s a good design in general, but I don’t think it makes a good Barricade. I prefer his Last Knight design for a Generations Barricade.
Yayyyyyyyy
