The Premium Barricade transformer is great for display, and has excellent articulation. The detail is top notch, bearing the "To Punish and Enslave" tag on one rear quarter panel and a license plate reading 'DCPTCN'. It comes with a tiny Frenzy transformer that can be taken out of Barricade's chest/grill, but he isn't much to look at. Barricade's left arm has a small trigger you can press that makes his forearm pop forward in a 'punch,' but if you don't do it just right it looks less like a punch and more like his arm is just extending downward. He holds together fairly well, but you have to be careful when transforming him (especially from robot to car). The bottom line is if you like Transformers and want the toys, definitely pick this one up IF you plan on displaying it and not working the parts a lot. If you're thinking about buying this for a child to play with, you should look at some of the bulkier lines of transformers made to handle wear and tear. Younger children just don't have the hand dexterity take care of this model, and it probably wouldn't take much transforming/battling for Barricade to break.

Barricade Premium series is the best!The added detail and decor really makes this version shine.Barricade is one of the best decepticons in the movie and the figure is just as good.Barricade features a silver windshield and the police lettering being in a more detailed silver than the white in saleenS281 police car mode.He still has the awesome decepticon police logo with the saying "to punish and enslave" along the side also.Barricade has a more detailed articulation in the legs,body,and head piece in robot mode also.Barricade has some great features as well with a sping-loaded punch attack for up close confrontations while also including his partner frenzy for some added realism.Frenzy can be stored in the grill area in vehicle mode and has a easy transformation just like in the movie.The poseability is outstanding with great stability for acting out battle scenes or displaying where you please.The durability is excellent as well with Barricade having secure joints that will snap back into place in case of any trouble while having a solid build all around.The transformation level is advanced meaning if you have plenty of experience with transformers there is mid-level difficulty.If you are a parent buying for a child of 5-6 or younger you might have to help some in the process.Honestly Barricade is very versatile for all ages with a managable transformation that can be learned easily with some practice.Barricade is one badass decepticon that is a must have for any fan.Barricade is a high quality,well-made,10 out of 10 transformer that all fans should enjoy.I highly recommend Premium Barricade to all transformer fans and collectors alike.Barricade Rocks and Transformers Rule!!!

This toy was much requested, and once finally received, loved!! A perfect addition to a Transformers fan's collection. The transformation is easy, allowing even a young child to switch from vehicle mode to robot mode, and the additional character Frenzy makes play even more like the movie. The only drawback is that the side pieces don't quite meet up and stay put in vehicle mode.

I love the new realistic premium vehicle mode and the spring loaded punch can only be described as WHAM! The transformation can be tricky at times, but it's got an incredible result either way. The 'Decepticon Frenzy' that comes out of Barricade's bumper is kind of lame. To 'transform' it you fold little Frenzy into this bumpy prism thing. It's seriously lame. Get this for Barricade. Don't get it for Frenzy. He's not that great. Barricade was my fourteenth transformer and I don't regret his purchase.

Barricade's role in the 2007 film may make him a prime candidate for purchase for your kids or whoever. There are definitely others out there, many others in fact. Barricade's allure however comes from his alternate mode, the very sneaky police car mode which is well done. The black definitely represents his allegiance to the Decepticons. There's small details like the written phrase above the rear-right wheel that says "To punish and enslave". The POLICE writing on the doors is shiny which is a nice touch. What is a little frustrating about Barricade becomes evident after his first transformation. He transforms very easily and he looks great in robot mode. However, once you want to put him back in car mode, you might run into trouble. You attempt to pack in his legs again and bring up the sides of the car (his arms) to snap into the folded up legs, but they will not match up correctly. A lot of people get frustrated easily because he doesn't seem to cooperate. Barricade is just merely a little more tricky than other Transformers. What eludes a lot (and even me for a while) is that his chest is connected to a small lever that folds up and goes into the chassis of the car. You kinda have to push his chest/legs up and then into the car. This gives you the necessary leeway to get the other pieces to snap together. Barricade is a little tricky for a Transformer, so make sure you know how to do it before handing it to a small child who might get upset easily. Still, he retains his cool looks in both forms and is a nice pickup.

I am reviewing my police car. You can get the toy from the toy store and it cost $4 and it is expensive. The toy can transform to a robot. I like this toy because the door can open. It is different because the trunk can open and the back of the car can open. My baby cousin will like it. I do not like this car because it do not drive by itself. I give this toy 5/5.

In all honesty, I hate this thing. My kids absolutely love it, but I hate it. I've said this before about some of the other Transformers, and I'll say it again, only get this if your kid is over the age of 7 and can fanagle this thing around himself, or be prepared to switch it from robot to car about 1 million times! Not that I mind helping my kids with this stupid robot, but when you just spent 5 minutes trying to twist pieces into place so it all lines up together and then 2 minutes later they want it a different way it can get a tad frustrating...especially when there are 6 different robots and they are mid battle and "have to transform!!! It's how they do it in the movie!" Lol.
I do, however, reccommend it. They are great toys and I've recently told my boys that if they can't transform it themselves then the robots can battle the way that they are. ;)

This Barricade rules the streets! His super sleek police cruiser mode is so well detailed that I think he may have the best decepticon car mode out of any movie line toy. The paint apps are crisp and clear. His detailed car parts look great and he just feels solid.

Barricade's transformation is pretty easy with a minimum of pieces that will fall off during conversion. Also in robot mode you can rotate the upper-arm pieces into such a position that they look like cool shoulder armor.

His robot mode is, like the vehicle, highly detailed sporting great paint applications that make him look like old Barricade is about throw you across a parking lot and ask if YOU are ebay user name Ladiesman217! Overall this really is a great figure with some awesome movie accurate detail. Even if you already have another version of Barricade pick this one up!

My son loved this toy! With two different styles of Barricade, we soon discovered that the one style he wanted was rare in our area. Got a boy? You cannot go wrong with Transformers.

This was the only Transformer my son wanted that wasn't in the store. He loves it. Even though he can't transform it himself, it's one of his favorites.
