It’s Day 3 of Hasbro‘s Transformers: The Last Knight toyline Reveal Your Shield Week.
Star actress Isabela Moner is proud to present (drumroll)… Deluxe Class Barricade.
“I play Izzy on Transformers: The Last Knight. I’m going to show you guys something really cool today. This is a “new” toy: Barricade. I think I’m ‘Team Decepticon’ because they are just so cool and rebellious and really, really scary and intimidating”.
Check out the video, after the jump.

Which head is this?

Yep, just gotta tilt the head back so the crest touches the hood panel. Provides perfect clearance.

And he still transforms??

By the way, guys, just in case anyone was wondering… yes, it fits, and and it looks damn good.

I know, I was just pointing out that it's not officially confirmed yet but still completely possible, since he seemed so adamant that Movie Masterpiece Barricade doesn't exist, period.

A lot of the elements are more accurate on the DOTM Deluxe than how the TLK figure is represented here. The arms are wrong, as well as how his wheels are displayed on his shoulders. They could have easily avoided the unnecessary backpack if they made his arms similar to his DOTM Deluxe counterpart. They could have also incorporated a feature where his chest would flip inside out to reveal a scrunched up look (more accurate to the CGI model), again, like the DOTM Deluxe.
Hasbro was previously able to represent the designs accurately during ROTF times so that's not the problem here. It's evident from the lack of paint applications alone, they realized saving money on paint, engineering, licenses, and plastic generates more revenue—at least for the movie line. Changing the designs won't change anything as they can still skimp on everything I just stated.

We're pretty certain the 3rd mpm is Barricade. The deluxe Barricade had the code name 'Mars' and so does the 3rd mpm. Also, Barricade is the only other character Bee's size (because of the price point) that is returning from the first film for the 10th anniversary.

"Today Hasbro, Inc., announced “REVEAL YOUR SHIELD,” a TRANSFORMERS celebration that will offer fans five days of TRANSFORMERS content and product reveals, beginning on April 24th with the release of Hasbro’s first wave of toys and consumer products inspired by the TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT film. Throughout the week fans will be encouraged to “reveal their shield,” using social media, TRANSFORMERS.COM or the official TRANSFORMERS mobile app to declare their allegiance to the Autobots or Decepticons."
"“Our REVEAL YOUR SHIELD fan celebration will deliver a week’s worth of TRANSFORMERS content, including new material inspired by the upcoming film, TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT."
Yes we were, and Movie Masterpiece Barricade could still happen – Optimus Prime is the second one and has yet to be revealed, so it's very possible Barricade could still come after that. We at least know there is a third figure on the way. We just don't know who it is yet. That doesn't mean it can't be Barricade.

Barricade looks good, but that's just my brain telling me that Barricade looks good because I like Barricade.

That one looks terrible as well. Using it as a base wouldn't have turned out any better. The chest is way off, the legs are too spindly, the wheels are no longer positioned that way and I'd hardly call that chunk of rear end on the backs of the legs accurate.
Would've been nice if the designers said, "here's what we're thinking".. hasbro goes "okay, this is what we can do with that", then the designers adjust it to better represent the toy.
I know that that's not how it works, but for the sake of the figures it would've been nice.

let me know when wave 2 hits

Funny sense we were never promised new reveals but rather a week for fans to reveal your sheild. I highly doubt it hell even mpm barricade didn't pan out and that's disappointing.
TCJJ
Oh yay, they revealed… nothing! Woo!
Hopefully the rest of these "reveals" aren't trash.

Yep, I can confirm it's an easy to pop off piece. Before I even got to taking it off, it came off while transforming it.

When are the leader classes going to be released?

Except TLK Barricade has the pretty obvious vehicle parts and the same amount of vehicle parts when compared to movie 1 Barricade. We still received a decent Deluxe figure with movie 1 Barricade. They should have used the DOTM Deluxe as the base to make this figure as a lot of the vehicle/robot parts are in the same place.

Ahhh! They've landed here! I gotta go check the stores tomorrow!
