Description
"You have the right to scream for mercy."

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 Decepticons' current leader, he is much more cautious and reserved about expressing mutinous dissent than say most. Barricade believes that Starscream is vital in their search for Megatron and the AllSpark, making 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. As such, he has disguised himself as an Earth police car in an attempt to fool the humans around him. If his attitude toward his fellow Decepticons is inconsistent, his attitude toward the Autobots is not: kill them all. Barricade might not be as large as most of his peers, but he is every bit as deadly. He thoroughly relishes every chance in fighting the Autobots. He's smart enough to let one live, if he thinks he or the Decepticons can use it to their advantage. But most of the time, they're dead before someone's even thought of a plan. The most frustrating part about Barricade is that he always manages to come back no matter how many times he has been brought down. Barricade also tends to often have a rivalry with the Autobot scout, Pipebreak (AKA Downshift). He also has got a bit of a mouth on him. Whether it's smashing through an Autobot roadblock or hunting down his latest quarry, he rarely lets an opportunity to taunt, criticize or demoralize someone go by. And no, not even his fellow Decepticons are safe... not even Megatron. One would think this would mean a short end to his career, but apparently not. The Decepticon leader has taken to tolerating his loud mouth, perhaps due to his sheer effectiveness and tenacity in his job as an enforcer of Decepticon law, but possibly also because his scolding of the other Decepticons sometimes works in Megatron's favor. Barricade's favorite tactic is taunting opponents until they start chasing him, and then leading them through hazardous areas that they don't have a chance of surviving, while he will escape without a scratch. As a hunter, he keeps his opponents off-guard and nervous by talking a lot, citing them with whatever crimes he thinks they've committed against the Decepticons. And to make matters worse, he's much more likely to excel in lethal obnoxiousness.

Ok, so this design I did had some good value to it. And it has some design schematics that is 100% Movie Barricade, 90% Aligned Barricade, and 85% G1 Barricade from Evergreen (Come to think of it...). I liked the idea where Barricade morphs his tire into a flail mace that Megatron has, but with the spherical pice cut in the middle as a THIN cylinder leaving two spherical parts out. But I didn't like the idea of Barricade having Frenzy as a mini partner in the first film, and I felt that it should have belonged to Soundwave instead of him. That being said, I kept the designs intact to make sure that this would be the memorable Barricade anyone would be wanting to see. But for now, I appreciate the Evergreen design so much that it's my new favorite.

Up next: The mustached being that's got a Negan-like attitude in a form of a helicopter...
