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.

Notes
- Barricade's evergreen design, used as the basis for his Earth Wars appearance, is based on Movieverse Barricade's design from Transformers: The Last Knight.
- The IDW Generation 1 continuity version of Barricade uses the design of 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
