Revealed via Nerf’s Facebook page, we now have info and pictures of an exclusive for the upcoming New York Comic-Con. In the style of the Nerf Barricade in Optimus Prime colors that was released at San Diego Comic-Con a few months ago, this release shall truly make Bumblebee fanatics happy, as the exclusive for the upcoming convention is a Bumblebee-inspired Nerf Barricade. No word on pricing or production numbers.

Surprisingly, I did have that thought, but as with most evertything, there is almost certainly a work-around that would accommodate those characters. I am so sick of Bumblebee and I want to see Megs.
Lazerwave
It's Nerf or Nothing.
Maverick Hunter Christian
Its not Megatron or Barricade because real guns are black and silver, yo.
Sentinel
Seriously, how is this not Megatron? The man is a gun and pairs perfectly with Prime. Plus, this is clearly a collectors piece as it is an exclusive to a convention rather than something that needs to be sold to kids. I want my Megatron blaster dammit!

You wouldn't be the only ones to buy that!! Several folks here would looovvveeeeee that gun.
It's funny to me, wonder if Bee could shoot himself with Barricade??
Grimwing
It features G1 bumblebee though. Just that guy. It even has a little selection of marvel comic panels.
I think this is way better than the Optimus Prime barricade, for that retro art factor.
Interesting. If this is the first reveal. Other 80s themed exclusives may follow.

Dear NERF: release this in black, put the Decepticon logo and "To punish and enslave…" on the side, and I'll buy it.

I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Seems like a missed opportunity…
Shin-Gouki

Opticron Primal
Going to NYCC. Fucking BOUGHT.

something's not right here…
bumblebee is going to kill barricade with a BARRICADE!!!!
Deonasis
I like it. Nice packaging and a lot of detail make it look more collector-ish than kiddy.
DJW107PRIME
Oh I love it.
G1Wheeljack
Hope this isn't all there is, I had my hopes set on a TF Prime toy.
Sentinel
Why oh why must everything be Prime and BB? Why can't it be Prime and Megatron? I am sick of BB and I really want some Megatron things to go with Prime.
Still gonna buy the cool BB Barricade though…

In all honesty, I am hoping this is the only exclusive that comes to the Comic Con that is Transformers related. I don't have the urge to sit up online a couple nights waiting for an item to hit HTS only to have it freeze up for a couple hours when trying to checkout.

You'd think they could have made it look more like movieverse blasters (like the Allspark blasters).
Kaijumaster
It's the NERF BARRICADE!…why is it not themed up as BARRICADE?!
Dinobot747
Anyone else see the irony there? A Bumblebee themed Nerf Barricade?

I'm sure it will be, I don't see this selling out at the show. I think the Optimus gun is still available on HTS if anyone still hasn't picked one up and wants to be cool like me…
