"Main character" as in a true main character.. Or "main character" as in transformers movie-verse main character?
I'd love to see barricade get some more screen time and become a true rival to bumblebee.
Had they had some forethought and an emphasis on the robots, they could've followed barricade rising through the ranks.. Or paid more attention to him at all in the previous movies. It's a bummer. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Fingers crossed.

Yeah I had to go back and look at past pics and sure as shit it's there. It's like they just didn't finish the fender lol. But I see now how there are all the little parts on the front push bar that are connected into the car that just look out of place.
Red Goblin
No, that's part of his design which is bugging me from day one.
tonyformer
Barricade got a booboo lol!!!

Does his fender look jacked up there or is that normal?
Autovolt 127
Which is fitting and ironic since Barricade at one point was going to be Soundwave.
CKPRIME
And how much more do they have left to film? Two? Three months?
tonyformer
Out of all the vehicles we have seen, who are the ones we've seen the most of? Bee and Barricade. I mean come on, even Crosshairs and Hound haven't been seen as much as Barricade and we got Drifts car reveal and still haven't see t in any filming "yet". But Bee and Barricade are all over the place lol. Shit, this might as well be TF6 (Bees movie) as it stands lol.
Barricade is probably this movies "Soundwave". As in he will be the one pulling many of the strings of the Cons main plot much like Soundwave did in DOTM.
CKPRIME
Detroit is standing in for both London and Chicago, just because he was seen there doesn't guarantee he will have a large role. We don't know how big a role he has at this point.
Red Goblin
He's been in every outdoor filming. Arizona, Chicago, London; he's not going down in one battle.
CKPRIME
KNOWN, is the keyword here. He was Bee's nemesis in the first movie and disappeared for great amounts of time and wasn't even part of the final battle. It's entirely possible he get's killed off after one battle.
tonyformer
Because he's the ONLY known Con to come
Back besides Megs. He's going to be a main Con. And he's leading his own unit. That's Main Con material lol. He's back to be Bees nemesis.
Galvatross
Yeah, I think Barricade will likely get more screen time and lines than in the previous films, but that doesn't mean he's a main character.
I personally suspect that Barricade was the leader of the surviving Cons after DOTM. I suspect that he, the VW van, the Decepticon truck, and the Decepticon motorcyle are the Decepticon Pathetic Dirty Foursome.
CKPRIME
So what?
spikebuster
He's Bumblebee's main rival.
CKPRIME
How do we know Barricade is going to be a main character?
Zhadow
He's the only decepticon not to be killed off yet, let him stay alive to fight another day.

Pretty sure there was never an issue with either of Barricade's modes (bot or alt mode). It's not like people will confuse Barricade (in bot mode) as a caricature of a police officer (unless you count grunting and growling like an animal as being offensive to cops — really hope TLK gives Barricade an actual personality this time around along with more dialogue). Can't really say the same with the Twins' questionable bot mode designs, dialogue, and mannerisms (as far as to what they were supposed to caricature… apples to oranges comparison there, IMHO).
His alt mode, however; his bad cop shtick is part and parcel as to why he's so popular to begin with. A villain hiding in plain sight is good, but a villain masquerading as law enforcement (see T-1000 from Terminator 2) is just smart tactics to move around more easily and gain access to areas and intel that otherwise wouldn't have been possible (like the airport where Air Force One landed back in the very first movie).
That and Mustangs are better than Camaros.
tonyformer
Barricade isn't goin anywhere and won't be cute. The difference between him in is movie and the twins in DOTM is Barricade is a MAIN character where as the Twins were only even meant to be secondary characters in DOTM. Lot easier to cut secondary characters and work the script to accommodate than it is for a main character.

The only long odds there were on Barricade actually returning again.
Personally, I think it's a pretty great way to keep the films socially relevant and that it can only HELP the movie. The people on the street know what's up.

i am indeed a bit worried that transformers will once again be struck by nonsensical political correctness & fear barricade will go the way of the twins in tf3
what are the odds a) barricade came back & b) this nonsense going on in society?
they better keep him
also if barricade is a ksi bot ill be severely letdown (again)..it says he is 'back' so that leads us to believe it is indeed barricade from 1 & 3 & not some stinger/galvatron type…we will know as soon as he transforms…gonna be so pumped!…i hope it's done in the same fashion as ironhide's at the beginning of tf2..i cant remember a transformation getting louder applause than that one.
who woulda thought barricade would be the last standing decepticon from the OT?..doesnt make sense but i love it!..not even lockdown could track him down
