Title:
Barricade With Frenzy Robot Mode
Description:
Barricade with Frenzy (2009)
TakaraTomy ID number: RD-24
Known designers: Shogo Hasui (TakaraTomy)
Human Alliance Barricade comes with a posable figure of Frenzy, who can either sit inside the car in vehicle mode or be stored in Barricade’s chest as with the Deluxe figure. Barricade also comes with two fold-out arms / weapons in vehicle mode that approximate the ’Interrogator Arms’ he uses to threaten Sam Witwicky.
In Barricade’s robot mode, his main weapon is a spinning spiked flail which replaces his left hand, similar to the one seen during his duel with Bumblebee in the first movie. Aside from the interrogator arms (which can also flip out in robot mode to act as a sort of weapon for a chest-mounted Frenzy) his only other weapon is a cannon / missile rack in his right shoulder, which Frenzy is supposed to be able to operate from his seat (see the stock photo). There seems to be a bit of forced perspective going on with that; the gun rack is too far from the seat for Frenzy to actually be able to reach. Barricade’s eyes have red light-piping, and instead of a battle-mask, his mouth can be opened and closed by tilting the top of his head. The chest is also capable of more deformation than shown in the stock photo to make him more movie-accurate, by angling the two bumpers up and adjusting the tilt of the grille.
There’s something odd going on with his hips; they only come out to a 45° angle, which prevents his legs from being fully
straightened, This is most likely to simulate his crouching position seen in the movie and his deluxe toys. The socket is capable of the full rotation, though, and the blocking plastic can be easily sliced off. Additionally, the waist was at one point capable of rotation, but this has been oddly blocked by the addition of a small blocking bar molded on to plastic rotation axis. This weird mold change can also be easily sliced out to restore full functionality.
Unfortunately for many fans, like Human Alliance Mudflap, he is sold in rather limited quantities. Making him quite hard to find and rather expensive. Like the rest of the Human Alliance brethen, Barricade is a frequent victim of being counterfeited.
