Sorry, Prowl.įord Mustangs (which, coincidentally, is the original alternate mode for G1 Blackjack) are my favourite cars. But Michael Bay wants an evil police car in, and thus, Barricade was born. Originally the police car role is supposed to be given to the iconic Autobot Prowl. Amazingly, Barricade is the first Decepticon in 23 years to use a police car as an alternate mode. The third one is this one.īarricade's alternate mode is a Ford Saleen Mustang S281 Police Car. The second is for the Energon Destruction Team leader, who transforms into a missile rack tank. The first is for the original G1 character. The name Barricade had been used for three separate characters. His current fate is unknown, but he's last seen spying on Sector 7. Starscream, the lone Decepticon survivor, later meets him and orders him to remain on earth. The Reign of Starscream sequel comics retcons Barricade being slammed by Ironhide onto a highway pillar during the chase, and thus is injured enough to miss the final battle. However, Michael Bay somehow likes Barricade so much that the scene was removed, enabling Barricade to appear in future sequels. This also explains why Prime was late in arriving in the final battle. It's evident from leaked scripts, the novel and comic adaptation that Barricade is supposed to be killed by Optimus Prime after the latter kills Bonecrusher. No death scene, no escape scene, nothing. He's seen again alongside Bonecrusher in the highway pursuit scene. However, he appears again much later, fully repaired, driving in response to Starscream's mobilizing call. After a stunt-filled road chase, the two transformers engage in a 'super-alien robot deathmatch', while Frenzy rips off Sam's pants. Sam and Mikaela are rescued by Bumblebee. Barricade appears again later to 'interrogate' Spike Sam Witwicky/ladiesman217. He features a holographic mustache man driver. He first appeared in the movie, acting as Frenzy's getaway vehicle as the latter returns from Air Force One. He's the third Decepticon to appear in the movie, and is the first Decepticon to engage in a fight against an Autobot (i.e. This new Barricade transforms into a Saleen Mustang Police Car. It's cool name, and frankly, I don't mind some characters being reinvented radically from G1. So now, the name Barricade had been used for the movie. His most major role is perhaps in Dreamwave's Micromasters mini-series. Barricade has appeared in many different comics. The leader of the Race Track Patrol, he transforms into a Formula One. Even after 25 years the only fiction he's ever appeared in is the MTMTE profile books. G1 Blackout, a Micromaster combiner, is a non-entity. As such, their G1 incarnations have very little and almost no characterization at all. Two of the cast, however, are based on Micromasters that came at the very end of G1. (well, Scorpy came somewhere in the fourth year, but still.)
G2 GOBOT CHECKLIST TV
All of them have appeared in the original comics and the TV show, and are all characters from the first three years of Transformers.
G2 GOBOT CHECKLIST MOVIE
Most of the Transformers featured in the Movie are very popular and had appeared in many G1 fiction.
