I remember buying this set off of BBTS 5 years ago when it was on sale for $99, I don’t really regret that purchase. I also modified my barridade’s legs like optibotimus did.
The most valuable thing to come out of this release is the bonus accessory of frenzy’s alt mode (the mp3 player) made in Diecast. So far the only representation of that mode that’s in scale with the others.
Human Alliance was great in concept, but not so much in execution. Found most of them save the Wreckers, Soundwave, and Sideswipe, and for the most part really intricate, and nicely detailed transformers. Bot modes are serviceable on most though the accuracy, and detail is best displayed in alt mode. Love the idea of the movie figs having figures to drive them around but the weapons integration in robot mode compromises so much about what's good. Would have loved to find Sideswipe, and Soundwave back in the day.
I really wish when Hasbro makes multipack figures it'll have some sort of reference to the toys itself. Like for example a two pack of depthcharge and rampage would be cool instead of repackaged/repaints of the same damn thing.
I loved HA Barricade, I never had any issue transforming him, I kept him on my desk and just flipped him back and forth. The MP Barricade is on my shelf now
@@octobotimus that's what I was thinking while watching the whole video. The figure itself is considered as one of the best HAs due to it's easiest transformations as well as other features.
i have them, they are actually fun to transform, i mostly got them for Barricade, also the front lights/shoulders of it can be angled towards the head for more accuracy
Very interesting video - I bought HA Barricade when he first came out, and almost didn't bother getting the MPM version later because the HA version was so good. From my point of view, Barricade's spring-loaded gimmick is more of a problem/let-down than the weirdly-angled hips, but I don't recall having any issues with the transformation joint for the shoulders - certainly nothing like the problem you had. I missed out on the solo release of Soundwave partly due to availability in the UK, partly because the less than stellar paint job and the tiny legs were kinda off-putting (the latter reason being why I didn't get Takara's repaint). When this two-pack came out, I thought long and hard about whether or not I wanted Soundwave enough to get a second HA Barricade, and concluded that I did not. Plus, packing these two together was a really weird decision, considering they downscaled the Human Alliance line between RotF and DotM. The two vehicle modes should be much the same size, and the 'Dylan' mini-figure is smaller than Frenzy, Sam, Mikaela, Simmons, Lennox and Epps.
I had that sound wave and barricade but I didn’t like how it looked so I just got the new age sound wave and the knockoff of the master piece barricade
Love the Frenzy on the SS shelf. I hope Hasbro will finally give us a Core Class '07 Frenzy for Studio Series one day. But with rumors of the Core Class line being discontinued.... I'm not so sure 😅
Man back when these came out they were the coolest things in the world to me. I thought "this is as close to movie masterpieces as we are going to get" but they always felt so weird and complex and they always looked soooo bad in robot mode, despite me squinting and wanting them to be amazing. Looking at them now they just look like shit lol.
I don't think these two have that many partner figure interaction spots unlike say Bumblebee or Jazz Human Alliance figures. Soundwave was the only mold i never got along with Mudflap, who never got a DOTM colours release cos the twins came with Arcee and Chromia for ROTF and DOTM Skids had Elita.
To this day I'm still mad about the time I time I found a barricade at a thrift store that was labeled as "human alliance" but actually ended up being a fast action battler. I wouldn't be as upset though if I hadn't paid $22 for it. 😭
MPM Barricade is way worse to transform, but if you like super complex Transformers like me, you like it. You just have to be in the mood to want to take a half hour or more to transform MPM figures lol. But yeah, Bot Mode they are meh, Vehicle mode they are great!
I think we can all agree that Mr. Gould and Sentinel Prime had the most satisfying deaths out of any of the _Dark of the Moon_ villains (Mr. Gould for attempting to sell humanity to the Decepticons and Sentinel Prime for killing Ironhide and betraying the Autobots).
the arms on my copy of barricade are more like soft lock based when you move them for the transformation so unfortunately, your copy is just loose but at least yours didn't break out of the box like mine
Who in the fuck decided that almost all of SW's car mode should be in his arms? Why wouldn't they have thought "gee, maybe some more of this should be in the legs?"
“Barridade” didn’t know they were friends like that 💀💀💀
"barridade" sounds like a new energy drink.
and there motto would be, "to replenish and energize" instead of punish and enslave, i would honestly drink it
@@ZenithusPrimeclever lol
@@ZenithusPrime me too
@@ZenithusPrimebumblebee would piss on a can or a box full of that energy drink can maybe a truck trailer lmfao
,barricades baridade
soundwave be looking like a bodybuilder that skipped leg day
He looks like my cousin
Watching Laserbeak become a Final Fantasy gun is always entertaining
I love how soundwaves licence plate says superior

I always think barricade's movie figs are always so consistent. H.A and MPM barricade are great examples imo
His transformation has barely changed since 2007.
Human Alliance Soundwave has such a interesting transformation I love it.
Soundwaves blues are reminiscent of his animated toy

Man it’s insane to think we had these at retail… they’re basically MP’s compared to what we get now.
I got my soundeave awhile ago and it filled a place in me, i wanted this stupid thing for so long it looks so nice😭
Hey I like the new outro music
Also I think it’s cool when you show us what’s in the new boxes
That Soundwave’s transformation looks really fun. I hate that robot mode though
Arms are too large?
@@banobobot that should not be the reason I guess cause those huge arms are signature design of Soundwave tho.
I don’t mind the arms.
i absolutely love barricades mouth feature you can basically make him say “are you ladiesman217”

I love how the transformation on both toys is basically the same
I loved HA Barricade, I never had any issue transforming him, I kept him on my desk and just flipped him back and forth. The MP Barricade is on my shelf now
Which one you like better?
@@damiangallo4185
Tough one, I think the HA as I prefer to just display my MP
HA barricade genuinely is one of the easiest figures to transform, I have no clue how he had issues with it 😂
@@octobotimus
Me neither, but I'm not trying to mock that toy guy

its crazy watching these transformations because thats just what *any* bay-studio series toy has felt like for me lmao
Can't wait to see the red alert review , and also love your videos man keep going

I like human alliance Soundwave face better then the one they use for rotf and dark of the moon.
Its the rotf face though
Oh my bad.
@@kboy1158 no worries dude
ooohh i never realize how much the DOTM deluxe Barricade looks like the Human Alliance
The Gobots are such a good 3 pack
I didn't have any of the three molds and now I have em in really good decos
Studio Series Soundwave had a more accurate robot mode. Or, at least, one that didn't have to go tippy-toes to stand up.

Hello please review needle nose
I actually love the design of soundwave, although Harris's face looks weird for some reason.
*barricade not harris
@@CommanderWyrmNope, his name is now Harris. Harris “Barricade” Decepticon.
Yep that’s what out for deliver means

7:25 RoTF form.
Ngl I’d save up for the premium finish personally cuz I don’t like ugly accessories that float around in bins forever
Youuuuu Have the original dotm deluxe soundwave!!!!!!! I'm jealous
I don't think these two have that many partner figure interaction spots unlike say Bumblebee or Jazz Human Alliance figures. Soundwave was the only mold i never got along with Mudflap, who never got a DOTM colours release cos the twins came with Arcee and Chromia for ROTF and DOTM Skids had Elita.
Do more unboxings it’s pretty fun and cool part we don’t always see

I hope you review 86 Springer soon, I am on holiday and can get him in a store , but I really don't know if I should get him/is he worth it ?
Baridade, sounds like a summer time drink!
This is the "Bumblebee kicked my ass" double pack
I have this Barricade, i love it.
Can we get more Unicron trilogy reviews?
1:52 … i see a face of Optimus here…
💀

I mean, if you pay attention to the games, soundwave is very very accurate to the Nintendo ds dotm game.

Hey That toy guy, When is the next Live Build?
Who in the fuck decided that almost all of SW's car mode should be in his arms? Why wouldn't they have thought "gee, maybe some more of this should be in the legs?"
0:42 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The box says New Zealand and the bottom and as a New Zealander I can confidently say we never got this pack 😢
Saying that I have a few figures from those films but not many.
Great video. ❤🎉
Why did they use the concept design for frenzy
I had the Barricade but the arm had broken, pain
I'm actually scared of my Studio Series Barricade because of the clear plastic. Just wanted to say that.
Bro what is up with Hasbro and putting the figures in oversized boxes?
It’s like they want people to keep stealing them
Never was a huge Bay fan.
The one that looked real From the movies is barricade.
One of the first and came at two minutes
Great figures
Funny name for barricade is barridade
7:30 Rotf mode💀💀
Woah, greys anatomy reference
Where'd you get springer
Obligatory "barridade" comment for the algorithm
Why does barricade just not get good toys 😂 the 15th anniversary one , this one etc
Barridade
Barridad is a single father
What is the movie the best one?
dam
Why does it say 643 on barricade and not 911?
643 is his unit number. Every police car has a different unit number.
Damn
nice
Do you always forget what you buy 😂
damn first
its incredibly weird people touted human alliance barricade as the best barricade figure for so long with how crap he is
go bots
Anything’s better than the ss barricade transformation 💀
MONKE
Ima barricade this upload
