==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[City of Steel (issue)|Transformers: Punishment #1]]
Barricade was a Decepticon police officer who settled on [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]]'s post-war Cybertron to rebuild a peaceful society, though unlike others he refused to join the [[NAIL|neutrals]] out of faith in the true Decepticon cause—equality. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}} Despite this, he wasn't above 'collecting' pre-war [[shanix]] on the side. {{storylink|The Transformers: Redemption|Redemption}}
He participated in the investigation of the murders of [[Wilder (Masterforce)|Wilder]], [[Brisko]], and [[Treadshot (IDW)|Treadshot]], stressing that the victims were ''Cybertronians'' and not just some "'Cons", though Starscream thought it unimportant and advised him to take it easy with the investigation. {{storylink|City of Steel (issue)|City of Steel}} After three more Decepticons were found dead, Barricade recognized one of the victims as [[Stratotronic]], leading the investigation onward to [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (issue)|Fight or Flee}} Following the firey death of Gutcruncher and even more Decepticons, Barricade joined [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] in apprehending the primary suspects, the [[Firecon]]s. {{storylink|Quest for Fire}}
The Firecons were proven innocent and Barricade went on to help investigate a ''fourth'' murder scene. This time, Starscream ordered him to gather a crew and raze buildings in the Decepticon ghetto in hopes of getting someone to squeal, but he rejected the order, refusing to turn on his fellow Decepticons, an act that earned him praise from [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]]. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}} Barricade then helped Prime with his plan to lure out the killer by using the Dinobots as bait, dropping the Autobot team through a trap door to keep them out of danger. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (issue)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}
Following Cybertron's newfound alliance with [[Caminus]], Barricade got into a relationship with the Camien [[Swift (G1)|Swift]], and together with [[Strafe (IDW)|Strafe]] they made plans to transport a truckload of Camien [[spark]]s to [[Alyon]] where they could grow. Not wanting bigshots like Starscream or Optimus Prime to learn of their plan, Barricade instead approached [[Slag (G1)|Slug]], whom he'd recently arrested, and offered him pay in exchange for aid from the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. He didn't trust Slug enough to tell him what the mission was for and thus the Dinobots, who assumed he was entirely corrupt after learning where their pay would be coming from, planned to snitch on him to the [[Badgeless]]; he'd likely die and they'd get a briefcase of dirty shanix anyway! (Slug changed that plan after learning what the ''real'' cause was) The journey was long and hazardous, the travelers being menaced by Badgeless, [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]], and mutated [[turbofox]]es, but Slug always urged the others to keep moving, eventually causing Barricade to realize he knew what the secret shipment really was. Moved by Slug's unexpected compassion, he promised to carry on... only to be cut down by [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], who sought to destroy the sparks. As he lay bisected, he apologized to Swift for his failure before Bludgeon ignited the truck's fuel, destroying both Barricade and the sparks.
[[File:BludgeonslicesBarricade Redemption.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|left|How is it ''not'' possible to do something like this [[Live-action film series|on the silver screen]]?]]
To everyone's surprise, Alyon already ''had'' a field of sparks forming naturally and by inadvertently bringing everyone over to stop Bludgeon desecrating it, Barricade had succeeded. Slug was pretty sure Barricade would have been glad to die for that. Afterwards, Slug told Swift that when the Badgeless came back, she should tell them that they'd kidnapped her and Barricade and that the cop had "died protecting Cybertron". {{storylink|The Transformers: Redemption|Redemption}} Swift would later join the Decepticons on the strength of Barricade's rose-tinted explanations of the cause. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}}

==Notes==
*This version of Barricade is nothing like [[Barricade (G1)|the original Micromaster]]. Why, he looks like [[Barricade (Movie)|Movieverse Barricade]] in ''Earth Wars'' and [[Barricade (WFC)|''War for Cybertron'' Barricade]] in the IDW comics.
*Barricade's [[evergreen]] design, used as the basis for his ''Earth Wars'' appearance, is based on [[Barricade (Movie)|Movieverse Barricade]]'s design from ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|Transformers: The Last Knight]]''.
*The [[IDW Generation 1 continuity]] version of [[Barricade (G1)|Barricade]] uses the design of [[Barricade (WFC)|''War for Cybertron'' Barricade]]... who, while partially based on Micromaster Barricade, ''also'' draws heavily on the movieverse Barricade, being a police officer with a black-and-purple color scheme. So, is he a version of ''this'' Barricade or ''that'' Barricade? Is there even a difference? Am I even ''real''? AAAAAAAH

Transformers: Earth Wars

"Never say die. Or rather, do! Yeee-hah!"

Barricade arrived at the cinema in response before Optimus and Megatron could exchange blows. Roaring into transformation, he taunted Drift saying if he felt lucky bringing knives to a shootout, and this fight will be his fade to black. He also called him "granolabot". Direct the Dialogue week 2

Barricade was waiting restlessly in the Decepticon base when Shockwave summoned him to the Space Bridge Hub for a dangerous secret mission. Starscream wished him luck, which Onslaught explained that he meant he expected him to fail. Barricade replied that those that underestimate him will end up as roadkill.

A bot with a reckless full-tilt approach is who Shockwave needed to send through the multiverse to find new recruits. Taking steps to ensure that Barricade fails, Starscream sent Hun-Gurrr after him. Event Horizon

Both Drift and Barricade arrive in an alternate universe with ceaseless fighting, and Barricade immediately fell in love with it. When Barricade confronted Drift, he gave fighting talk before engaging him head-on. Outlaws

Barricade considered sticking around and partying after tagging someone with his cross-dimensional beacon. But he suddenly felt an inferiority complex when the warzone's gigantic military ordnance started aiming and shooting at him and Drift. He managed to bag a Lockdown, but nothing happened. Just then Barricade was tackled by Hun-Gurrr, and he activated his dimensional jump key and transported them both to another universe. Critical Mass

In a new, garish universe, Barricade deduced Hun-Gurrr's true intentions and subsequently convinced Hun-Gurrr to team up. Dismissing the current universe due to its colors giving him a headache, Barricade and Hun-Gurrr departed once more. Arriving in another universe, the duo witnessed the local Megatron and concluded that they had found an ideal candidate. Worlds Collide
