Title:
Barricade
Description:
Barricade (Mechtech Deluxe, 2011)
TakaraTomy ID number: DD03
Accessory: Mechtech Blaster/Robot Wrecking Claw
Known designers: Joe Kyde (Hasbro),
Released in the second wave of Dark of the Moon Deluxe class figures, Barricade once again transforms into a licensed Saleen S281 Police Cruiser. He includes a MechTech weapon, a Gatling gun-barreled Blaster that can transform into a "Robot Wrecking Claw” when a lever on the side is pulled. Like almost all Deluxe class MechTech weapons, it cannot be locked into place. However, the weapon still can stay in it’s transformed state if the claw is pushed forward while in deployed mode.
Much like Bumblebee from the Dark of the Moon line, Barricade features an undocumented semi-stealth force configuration while in vehicle mode. By raising up the rear of the vehicle, one can reveal a pair of small, forward-facing blasters inside the trunk. These blasters are also present in his robot mode, mounted on his legs.
The stock photos of the figure are mistransformed: in robot mode, the chest & lower torso is not arranged correctly and his pair of "wings” can be folded up, and his vehicle mode’s grill is flipped into his robot’s chest grill instead. The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.
