Activision has updated their Transformers: War for Cybertron video game website with reveals for two new characters: Barricade and Warpath! The reveal includes images of both of their modes, stats, and bios!
Click on the title above to view their bios in full and remember, Transformers War for Cybertron is set to hit stores on June 22nd, for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii (as Cybertron Adventures) and DS in both Autobot and Decepticon editions. WARPATH
Weapons: Neutron Repeater, Energon Hammer
Abilities: Guided missile, Barrier
Description: Warbath is loud, confident, skilled and devoted to his fellow Autobots. He is also partially deaf from his amazingly large cannon. His most favorite past time is showing his friends how he can split a hex nut a mile and a half away with his tank gun. Extremely well armored to go along with his extreme stubbornness and think skull, Warpath always loves to press the battle to the Decepticons.
BARRICADEWeapons: Neutron repeater, Energon Scimitar
Abilites: Shockwave, Cloaking
Description: Barricade is a true speed demon, powering his engine to speeds faster than some jets. He is a brutal leader on the battlefield, scolding Decepticons that do not perform up to his and Megatron’s standards. His favorite tactic is to goad Autobots into transforming and chasing him, then taking the Autobots on fatal routes that only he can navigate.

I find Barricade to be unbelievably bland looking.
Since he doesn't really look like the G1 toy anymore then he does the movie character, I kinda wish they'd have been a little more original in his design. As is, he just looks rather mediocre. Like he was a last minute design thrown in, cause they needed an extra Decepticon.
Warpath is neat. His design does seem a little unrefined, but not nearly as borring as Barricade. You can tell who he is though. That is a Cybertronian G1 Warpath.

This game is going to be so awesome!

I'd hate to be "that guy", but we've already seen that the character creation is nothing more than changing the colors of existing models and picking your own weapons and perks.
Autobot Burnout
Warpath looks amazing. The retractable tank barrel is sheer genius: retaining the original G1 look while removing the stupidity of the tank cannon just sticking out like it used to. Warpath being deaf from the cannon also is both plausible and humorus.
Barricade also is a surprise, him being based more off of the micromaster rather than the movie version. However, he also might present something interesting about the character design/creation system. Take a look at Barricade's robot mode pose, and then at Breakdown's. They're posed exactly the same more or less. They also both turn into cars. However, pratically everything else is different about them, right down to the actual car chassis and the very wheels they're equipped with. If this is any indicator of how in depth the character creation system is, we're truly in for a real treat.

That's great and all but Barricade is turning into a major Decepticon and showing up everywhere now. Now I'm waiting for them to make a Blackout :/

I too Demand a full toyline! Warpath should be first! I'd buy two!
Rob
Yeah I have to agree, it is great how they are cherry picking the best characters from other Universes and putting them into this one.
Hey, you know what would be a great idea if all of the different Transfans got together and made a petition for making War for Cybertron into a full length toy line of Deluxes. Perhaps if the out cry of fans is great enough Hasbro would consider continuing the line. Any thoughts?

Warpath looks great.

Warpath looks really great, i'd go so far as to say he's the first WFC design i can actually get excited about: Like Ironhide before him, the dumpy proportions of all the WFC characters actually works and makes him look strong instead of fat/dumpy/awkward like most of the rest of the designs.
Barricade, while it's cool that he's based on the Micromaster instead of the movie character ~ sheerly for the novelty/obscurity factor, does nothing for me in either mode.
I haven't really been following the mechanics of the game: can you actually play all these characters?

Barricade make me HOT~
SoundFire Prime
Upon more closer inspection + comparision, Barricade's model is totally different from that of Breakdown's (sometimes it seems as though most car transformers all look alike design-wise). So that makes it better than I'd originally thought. Bring it on, baby! Now show me Jetfire and his bio, please and thank you. Hmm, I wonder if this means Blackout will be in the game, too…
Transformed
Still, characters like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee come in how many sizes now?
Mechafire
I would never have guessed that was Barricade. Seems fitting, tough. And Warpath… holy shit awesome.

Barricade?!?! ……But he looks nothing like the movie character. In fact, he's basically a repaint of WFC Breakdown with a different head.
Wow, Warpath looks quite awesome. He'd better get a toy…
Edit: Well, if Trans+Crazy approves, I'm sure it can't be all that bad…

I responded to this in the War For Cybertron Discussion thread. You guys can bet that I'm freaking loving Barricade being in the game! His being in the game has gave me another reason that I'm going to buy the game as soon as it's released.
I certainly do live up to my title, Barricade Fan Girl.
Same here. If they come out with a WFC figure for Barricade, I'll buy it on sight!
Yep, if Barricade was an exclusive, I would totally buy it. Even if Barricade isn't an exclusive, I'm still going to buy the game anyways.
Dinobot Snarl
Hasbro decided to make those four on a whim, They're hoping the game will be successful, but they have no idea what the reception will be. Thus they didn't make use of voyager class figs. My hope is we see a voyager WFC Warpath one day hopefully he won't be seen in the upcoming movie, because Bays styling is terrible.
