Barricade (Movie)
| The name or term "Barricade" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Barricade (disambiguation). |
- Barricade is a Decepticon in the Movie continuity family.
Barricade is apparently a complicated robot. He's considered "fractious" even by Decepticon standards, yet is willing to give 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 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
Ghosts of Yesterday novel
Barricade acts as pilot and chief science officer for the Nemesis. Through this he apparently possesses an impressive "mastery of physics", being very intelligent. He spent most of his time in the novel rubbing everyone the wrong way and loving every minute of it.

- Barricade (Deluxe, 2007)
- Japanese ID Number: MD-02
- Perhaps the most CG-accurate sculpt of all the characters from the movie, Barricade transforms into Saleen S281 Ford Mustang Custom Police Pursuit Cruiser. As with alomost all Tranformers toys issued withing the last few years, a few of his transformation quirks are undocumented; in robot mode the wheels 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, also in trying to match the CG render.
- Barricade does not have any Automorph gimmick to speak of; in its place is a spring-loaded extending left-armed "punch" gimmick, along with a Frenzy mini-figure which folds up and stores in his chest as part of the car grill in both vehicle and robot mode. Sweet.
- 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.

- An identical Deluxe class Barricade (already packaged in robot mode) included with an unchanged Deluxe class Bumblebee exclusive to Wal-Mart.
