:''Transformers is an elaborate coverup in the [[Movie (franchise)|movie]] [[continuity family]].

{{Nav-movie}}

'''''Transformers''''' will be a live-action movie released by [[Dreamworks]], with Executive Producer [[Steven Spielberg]] and Director [[Michael Bay]]. Its principle stars are [[Shia LaBeouf]], [[Jon Voight]], and [[Megan Fox]]. Character designs and special effects are being done by [[Industrial Light and Magic]], the effects-wizards behind the ''[[Star Wars]]'' films.

Originally slated to release in the summer of 2006, the film will arrive in US theatres on July 3, 2007 and UK theaters on July 27. The Australian release date is June 28, 2007 and premiered there on June 12, 2007. Take that, everywhere else.

==Prequel Material==
[[Image:Transformers2007teaserposter.jpg|right|thumb|200px|How's this for a sequel: Unicron's back, but this time he's a hard-boiled private eye...]]

Prior to the movie's release IDW Publishing released a four issue limited comic series entitled [[Prime Directives]] which chronicles the events which bring the Transformers to Earth. A novel, [[Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday]], is about the truth behind humankind's first venture into space and how that event is related to the Transformers' presence on Earth, both past and present.

Since the movie's plot brings the audience into things from Sam's POV, as he learns of not only the Transfomers' war but mankind's past history with Cybertronians, the prequel material provides a better handle on the intricate storyline.

==Storyline==
[[Image:Transformersnewpic1.jpg |right|thumb|My tummy glows for Justice!]]

The movie features a small, yellow Autobot named Bumblebee, who befriends the teenage human, S. Witwicky. He and his fellow Autobots, the medic Ratchet, the rough-and-tumble cowboy Ironhide, and the smooth and super-cool Jazz (who has a car hood for a chest and a visor for eyes) are led by Optimus Prime, a red and blue robot with a distinctive mouthplate, windows in his chest and a grill in his stomach who transforms into a truck. Optimus Prime's nemesis is an evil, silver, robot named Megatron[who has lost his bucket-head design for a more menacing look.], leader of the Decepticons. The Decepticons' ranks include a pissed-off tank named Brawl, a mechanical scorpion named Scorponok, a hatefilled bulldozer named Bonecrusher, and a jet fighter named Starscream, who schemes to take command of the Decepticons from Megatron, as both sides battle over the legendary object that can grant new Transformer life.

{{sarcasm}}

This, of course, is ''nothing'' like Transformers.

Barricade (Movie)

2007-06-16T22:58:23Z

194.125.72.160: /* 2007 movie */

{{disambig3|Barricade}}

:''Barricade is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MovieBarricade_render1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"I'm ''always'' Bad Cop."]]

'''Barricade''' is apparently a complicated robot. He's considered "fractious" even by Decepticon standards, yet is willing to give [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] the benefit of the doubt and follow where he leads, at least for the time being. Though not totally dedicated to the service of the Decepticon's current leader, he is much more cautious and reserved about expressing mutinous dissent than say [[Blackout (Movie)|''most'']]. In many ways this makes him Starscream's closest ally in the naturally combative Decepticon ranks. Then again, it's been said that he likes to trick people into trusting him, just so he can see their reactions when they find out just how much of a bad idea it was.

==Fiction==

{{coming soon}}

===Ghosts of Yesterday novel===
Barricade acts as pilot and chief science officer for the [[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]. Through this he apparently possesses an impressive "mastery of physics", being very intelligent. He spent most of his time rubbing everyone the wrong way and loving every minute of it.

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
* '''Barricade''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-02'''

[[Image:Movie_DeluxeBarricade_toy.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The secret love child of [[Blackjack]] and [[Stakeout]].]]

:Barricade transforms into an accurate Saleen S281 Ford Mustang Custom Police Pursuit Cruiser. As with MOST deluxe-class cars in the ''Movie'' line, he features clear windows for his windshield and doors, but oddly his rear window is opaque black plastic. Stored inside the engine bay, behind the car's ram bar is a mini-figure [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] disguised as Barricade's grill.

: In robot mode, Barricade quite faithfully reproduces the CGI design, though his chest cannot deform to the same extent. He features a reasonable amount of articulation with ball joints for his shoulders and upper legs, ratcheting and swivels for his elbows and double-jointed knees. Barricade has no neck joint as the two car hood halves slot into place between the bottom of the head and the plate on which it sits. Barricade does not have any [[Automorph]]ing [[gimmick]] to speak of; in its place is a spring-loaded extending "punching" attack on his left arm.

: ''As with almost all Tranformers toys issued over the last few years, a few of his transformation quirks are undocumented; in robot mode front wheel panels on his shoulders are ball-jointed, allowing one to position them in a manner similiar to what is seen in the movie renders. Additionally the sections that become his claws (apart from the thumb hinge) can swing up slightly to make themselves more pronounced, and spikes on the top of his feet can be swing up.''

* '''Barricade''' (Legends of Cybertron, 2007)

:A much smaller version of the character, Legends Barricade features limited articulation and detail. In what could only be defined as an anomaly of physics, compared to the other Movie Legends, Barricade is quite close in appearance and transformation to the larger deluxe figure.

*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Deluxe Multi-pack, 2007)

[[Image:Bumblebee_Barricade_deluxeboxset.jpg|right|thumb|130px|]]

: This battle pack contains the deluxe-class Barricade and the 1974 Camaro deluxe-class [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.
