175.137.115.140:

It needs to be added that Sideswipe has a legends toy. I am in posession of it right now.
Cheers! -[[Special:Contributions/74.170.18.35|74.170.18.35]] 09:16, 30 May 2009 (EDT)Proconix

New here. Just wondering why there's a "Not yet released sign at Sideswipe's FAB section. I know i have already seen it on sale for a while -Treadshot A1

== Caption Change Request ==

I'd like to change the caption of the Legends Sideswipe toy to "Whoa! I never even knew I had these driving claws!" because Sideswipe's heels can be unfolded in vehicle mode to resemble the driving claws that Armada Hot Shot had. I don't have the deluxe version so I don't know if that one can do it too. [[Special:Contributions/84.69.143.180|84.69.143.180]] 07:51, 14 September 2009 (EDT)

:No. Captions are an award for contributing. Information first, then the humour. [[User:Metal Gear NOIZE|Metal Gear NOIZE]] 08:59, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
::Well, that's what makes it a Caption Change REQUEST. If enough of us think his caption's funnier (and '''I''' like it, but I'm biased), then it could be changed. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 09:07, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
:::I'm not exactly sold, given that the one we have now is pretty good. --[[User:-Blackout-|-Blackout-]] 12:27, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
::::Okay. Movie Swerve has yet to have a pic for his Legends toy so maybe when he does, the caption could be used there instead. [[Special:Contributions/84.69.143.180|84.69.143.180]] 11:18, 15 September 2009 (EDT)

== Zoolander reference? ==
I noticed that Hasbro said in the March 2010 Q&A answers for [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?s=d10ab71f63bb8dcedc22cc2162437e6e&showtopic=67971&st=0&p=1496519&#entry1496519 the Allspark] that the Legends class Bluesteel Sideswipe is a "reference to one the team's favorite comedies."
Now, there are two movies with the title "Blue Steel", but those could only be called comedies if you were viciously critical. However, "Blue Steel" also crops up as a fairly prominent term in Zoolander, so that's most likely the movie to which they're referring. Anyone else feel this is worth a mention in the trivia section? -- [[User:Ayellowbirds|Ayellowbirds]] 20:16, 30 April 2010 (EDT)

== Human Alliance Arms ==

Have been looking at the pegs on the arms and I don't think they're anything to do the human partner figure, in alt mode there's very little clearance between the ground and car. I think the pegs are there just to stop the arms and lower torso scraping the ground. [[User:Iyato|Iyato]] 19:01, 12 March 2011 (EST)

== Light piping ==

My Sidearm Sideswipe has red light-plastic in the back of his head, but he has blue eyes. When held up to a damn powerful light source, however, they glow red. In his stock photography, however, he has one blue and one red eye. Should this info be added to the page?

== Sidearm feet ==
Should it be mentioned that for some reason the feet on Sidearms Sideswipe are extremely movie-accurate if you turn them around and tuck in the now frontal toe bit underneath (using the one now at the back to help support him)? It makes me wonder why the instructions and stock photos (ok the photos for most TF's are nearly always mistransformed anyways) have the feet the 'wrong' way.

should his toys section be moved to a new page or just be kept there?[[User:Rxlthunder|Rxlthunder]] 10:17, 5 March 2011 (EST)
:There's plenty of pages more in need of splitting than this one. Check out [[Special:Longpages]]. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 10:20, 5 March 2011 (EST)

== Why is this even here? ==

Why isn't this part of [[Sideswipe (ROTF)]]? Or, more accurately, why isn't all of that here? Exactly what makes this nullity different from the ROTF Sideswipe? Should we merge them? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 15:44, 22 October 2010 (EDT)
:I would say this is separate from ROTF Sideswipe because this guy is specifically a movie-fication of a G1 character for a video game, and the ROTF guy is a different, made-up new guy for the movie who just had the same name slapped on him. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 17:12, 22 October 2010 (EDT)
::Eh, I say if the 3D Battle Card Swerve and the ROTF Sideswipe retool Swerve can be considered one and the same... Why not this Sideswipe and ROTF Sideswipe? --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 18:10, 22 October 2010 (EDT)
:::Minimize therbligs. There doesn't seem to be any details here that preclude them being the same, so I'd say they are the same. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 09:49, 23 October 2010 (EDT)
::::Yeah, I'm in favor of taking single-sentence characters within the same continuity family and merging them unless there's evidence they are NOT the same. Didn't ROTF Sideswipe get redone into this colorscheme at some point? --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 11:05, 23 October 2010 (EDT)

::::::The robot mode looks too similar (except for the wheelfeet) to ROTF Sideswipe to be ignored. I'm in favor of merging the two articles or at least pointing that out in ROTF Sideswipe article- [[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 00:47, 27 October 2010 (EDT).

== DOTM Deluxe Stealth Force? ==

Sideswipe's DOTM Deluxe figure seems to have an undocumented feature. While in alt-mode, you can pull out his arms, rotate them to face the front and kind-of fit tabs sticking out of tabs jutting out from his arms into aligned/matching posts under his alt-mode hood. Kind-of since my figure's tabs don't exactly peg-in securely. In any case, the swords on his arms can now be rotated to the front of the alt-mode. Does this count as an unmentioned Stealth-Mode like deluxe Bumblebee's hood cannons? [[Special:Contributions/175.137.115.140|175.137.115.140]] 13:59, 11 July 2011 (EDT)

==Threatening Sam image==

HAHAHAHA! -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 07:36, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

==He doesn't get blown up==
There's a crazy rumor flying around that Ironhide blew Barricade up during the big city battle just because he was near a black car when it exploded (when Blackout shot it) I wouldn't be surprised if it winds up getting posted here too, since wikipedia has already been hit with it.--[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 03:20, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
:I assume its the scene where Blackout then transforms (VERY quickly) and flies over Sam as the guy ducks. The prominent wheel that bounces has silver rims. Blackout has black. I think some rumour monger cited it on the wikipedia but it was quickly removed. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 05:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
==Premium Frenzy==
Frenzy: Is he or is he not included in Premium Barricade? Images of Premium Barricade seem to suggest no, but official info would be good. -Crosshairs-1

==All Spark Enhanced Barricade==
On an auction site, I discovered that there was another deluxe figure called All Spark Enhanced Barricade, and after doing some research, I found that there indeed was such a figure. Frenzy comes in [[FIRRIB|red]]. Should we add that to the article? [[User:203.173.161.113|203.173.161.113]] 01:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:Not until it has been officially announced by Hasbro and/or Takara. Until then, we have to assume that the toy in question is stolen or a knockoff, and therefor cannot be referenced in any articles. - [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 06:54, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::Pretty sure the toy has been released already. Just no one's buying it because he's just Barricade with light blue paint added randomly. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 07:55, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

== ROTF ==

Hard to tell because he's seen so briefly, but it looks like Barricade (or someone with his body type) is kidnapping Sam's parents in Paris. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 19:47, 1 July 2009 (EDT)
:Wait, what? Wasn't that Rampage? --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 19:51, 1 July 2009 (EDT)

== Barricade's fate ==

Something I found interesting while looking through Japanese Transformers clips.

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1VsupXCePM&feature=related]Here, you'll see an extra shot of Barricade at about 1:15, watching him run and transform. The Backdrop looks to be under the bridge where Prime and Bonecrusher fought, so the Prime fighting Barricade could be true.

Why this footage never appeared outside of this trailer, I don't know. But it certainly sheds some light on his fate, at least to me.

I guess this isn't really needed...but I thought it was interesting, especially since it hasn't been mentioned.

Edit: Scratch that. I see that it was included in other adaptions. Oh well. At least we know there's footage for it.

::Haven't seem the movie in a while, and that shot looked new to me.
Damn I'm an idiot. Guh. Thanks for clearing that up.

Feel free to take this out now.

== The Battle Bios "unused" head ==

I was watching Transformers Beginnings the other day, and when Starscream, Blackout and Barricade are on Mars, Barricade has the head from the Battle Bios site. The head is Barricade's Cybertronian head... well, first-movie fiction wise, since Barricade has a much more Earth-mode-esque head in Defiance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpR9q7JITeA at about 3:00. Check the movie prequel comics themselves, just to be safe.

== DOTM ==
[[Image:DOTM-Sidewaysstab.jpg|right|thumb|Seriously, for the love of God, he isn't Barricade.]]

Um, there's a guy in the Super Bowl spot with Barry's basic design, who clearly has the word "POLICE" on his arm (see [http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2011/02/dotm-super-bowl-trailer-rewind-theatre_15.html this video] for frame-by-frame view of him). Should this be mentioned?
<br>- [[User:Queso|¡Usa El Queso!]] 5:10 PM, 21 February 2011 A.D.
: Where? I see no robot with POLICE on his arm. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 17:20, 21 February 2011 (EST)

The bot Optimus stabs is definitely Sideways (or someone that looks just like him). However... the recent video for Iridescent that Linkin Park put up on youtube (here;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c9F6SQI1ZM) does show a bot identical to Barricade, with the "POLICE" letterings clearly visible (at about 00:54). So... given that Barricade's "alive/dead" status isn't entirely clear even with word from John Barber, maybe he actually is in the film? -- [[User:Clifftothemax|Clifftothemax]] 02:17, 17 June 2011 (GMT)

==Stealth Force in DOTM Deluxe==
Hey all, just wanted to point out that Barricade's DOTM deluxe has what appears to be two guns molded inside his trunk kibble (which becomes his hip-fatteners in robot mode). Arguably, you can achieve a stealth-mode by raising his trunk in alt-mode kinda like DOTM Deluxe 'bee, but the guns are so small and hard to spot from most angles it looks more like Barricade's simply been left mistransformed. Can anyone here fiddle with a deluxe Barricade and confirm this little tidbit towards the toy info? Thanks. [[Special:Contributions/175.137.115.140|175.137.115.140]] 13:55, 11 July 2011 (EDT)
