Hoping these pictures go up, anywho, this is H.A Barricade, my first Human or should I say Decepticon Alliance figure,
First of all frenzy is a great little figure, as these photos were rushed I couldn't show off his gimmickry with Barricade so please excuse me on that, he's very posable and a big improvement on the deluxe Barricades grill he once was, frenzy can be seated inside Barricade as shown in one of the pictures and can also be inserted into Barricades chest to man the guns that are there and can be pushed in further as a storage option.
Now onto the main event which is Barricade himself, well this guy has me dead chuffed, his alt mode for starters is big , heavy and imposing , not much changed from the deluxe other than his 2pnenslv license plate and his gas cap is painted silver, one detail missing which I thought personally would be on the Human alliance figure is the abscence of the Emergency 911 beneath his "to punish and enslave" motto, but no real biggy. That's the only deduction of points I'd take off this figure as he is just that cool.
His transformation differs to his deluxe counterpart in some bits but you end up with a similar looking bot mode overall.
Onto his bot mode. The pictures honestly don't do him justice, the flash makes the plastic look cheap and tacky but it's anything but, he looks shiney enough and is quite movie accurate, his head moves and the line "Are you usernam ladiesman217!" is quite appropiate while moving his mouth lol. In robot mode frenzy can man guns in Barricades chest and rocket launchers on his right arm. My favourite gimmick is the spinning blade of death that is his left hand. It looks so cool and has a "don't fuck with me" look to it, the only problem is for anyone who likes their robot to have two hands well the blade is his left hand and that's it . that may be a draw back to some people but to me it's a ready for battle at anytime stance.Like the deluxe however his waist is somewhat strange to connect, It should've been straight forward popping it in but the way his waist is is fairly inexpicable at the moment.
He's quite posable and has a lot of movement in him, a great addition to anyones collection in my opinion.
Barricade is a great figure and I highly recommend picking him up, I'd give him a 9.5, he loses half a mark for missing the emergency 911 writing for me but thats just being picky. I look forward to purchasing Skids,Jazz,possibly Mudflap and possibly Bee, Barricade is a winner for me anyway and a character I hope to see in TF3.
