Via Kremzeek Reviews on Youtube we have new in-hand images of the new Transformers War For Cybertron Barricade (Earth form) in-hand images.
Barricade is a nice black and gray redeco of Earthrise Smokescreen mold and includes 2 shoulder cannons, 1 gun and a siren. We also have comparison shots next to the other War For Cybertron cars Prowl, Smokescreen and Bluestreak in both modes and the Siege Barricade mold. Another good addition to the War For Cybertron Trilogy collection.
Check out all the images on this news post, as well as Kremzeek Reviews’ video review, after the jump. Click on the discussion link below and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Ok guys, since we know have an official reveal continue the discussion here:
Amazon Exclusive Galaxy Odyssey Barricade & Punch/Counterpunch Revealed
Laser_Optimus
Okay, interesting. I guess @Pixelmaster pulled back on his information from Galactic Odyssey too quickly because here's Netflix Barricade with a repaint of Punch/Counterpunch (though as himself and not what people were speculating). I'm guessing they were both moved from their originally intended lines as I don't see Hasbro reissuing Punch/Counterpunch in the Wal-Mart Headmasters line next year if he's part of this set either. Now I want to know if wave 2 of Headmasters will just be Highbrow, Skullcruncher, and Weirdwolf or if there will indeed be a fourth figure in the wave.

I don't suppose someone on Shapeways made a replacement head for Earthrise Prowl? I see a few alternate Prowl heads there, but they're for Combiner Wars Prowl, which I doubt fit on the WfC toys…

*sighs* not Pointblank like I thought it was…. Guess I'll go eat that raw potato when i get home
What planet is left btw?

I'd like to know this as well. I want to get a 2nd P/CP to go with my PotP and need to know if I can wait for the rumored Headmaster reissue or if this is where he got moved to.

yeah I see a dark purple for the biceps hands, and straight up silver for the thighs. the abdomen can admittedly go either way, but to interpreted this in plastic i would just pick one or the other, not a weird mixture of both.

It would've been nice if the bars on the movie Barricade were on the front of this mode. To add a little more distinguishing characteristic from the other 3 "Datsun" brothers.

I guess they just took liberty from Guidi's art, which does show a lighter purple on the limbs. However, I interpret this as more of a silvery purple than the lilac color used on the figure.
DrOblivian
It's a weird pale lavender too, and its ugly in general, not even just here on Barricade. Where the hell did this color even come from?
Zentropy
Seeing how Earthrise Barricade transforms, I'm actually even more interested in the mold, but I think my enthusiasm truly lies with Bluestreak, not the bad cop. The more I see this figure, the more I hate the lavender and feel the rest of the deco is sorely lacking in detail. And that face, I'm sorry, is Smokescreen and only Smokescreen. I can't see anything else. They could have kept the overall mold, given it the Evergreen paint scheme and Crosshairs's face sculpt, and I'd have been fine with it.
Bluestreak, though, will be a must-have.

I think the Siege one looks cooler

Perhaps this (and some paint) is what Earthrise Barricade needs:
Bad Cop Head by SteamShield on Shapeways
Cyber Silver
Oh, then we're on the same page. My bad
Dexatronic
needs the purple, punish and enslave and shoulders painted black with gold shoulder cannons and he would be great

I grew up with the bayverse, so this is right up my alley. And even though I grew up with it and like the designs, I like the g1 asthetic more, so the best thing out of bayverse getting a toy is cool. What else were they gonna do with the mold besides blue Bluestreak or obscure diaclone repaints?
A slightly remolded headdculpt would have been cool, and a mustang. But honestly, this is fine. And looks incredible, at least to me.

the pcp redeco may aswell be pointblank or drift
cus y'know, they love to do characters i actually want, but never can get since they are us exclusives and hasbro is too recluse to try for the international market, and amazon are a bunch of greedy douchebags
LeonSteamhawk
I wonder if it would be possible to kitbash the two figures together. I like most of the Selects figure, but I prefer the head and arms of the Siege one.

I still find myself liking how this guy looks even if his face is kinda fat.
