Synopsis[]

File:Barricadepolicecar.jpg

"I Returns!"

In the 2007 live-action movie, Barricade is a Decepticon that transforms into a Saleen S281E police car, making him similar in appearance to the Generation 1 Autobot Prowl, who was actually in the first draft of the movie treatment before the writers thought that a Decepticon police car would be a better idea. He appears to be the rival of Bumblebee, standing at nearly the same height. He is a hunter/scout of the Decepticons, choosing his vehicle mode to easily hide among the humans as a symbol of authority. His persona appears to be that of the cliché "bad cop", as he fiercely interrogates Sam Witwicky once he locates him. He mainly elongates his arms to reveal spinning spikes known as the blade wheels in his hands and uses them as close-combat striking weapons. When in car mode he can simulate the appearance of a human driver, the same holographic model (referred to as "Mustache Man" on-set and in the credits) that "pilots" Blackout and Starscream.

In leaked versions of the script, this character was originally codenamed Brawl - he even appeared with his name on some of the concept art. The name was later changed to Barricade when the official list of Transformers appearing in the movie was released; the name Brawl would go to another Decepticon. His rear quarter reads "To punish and enslave..." a parody of the classic police slogan "To Protect and Serve". The front quarter police logos have the Decepticon symbol on them and the writing "Pacis Quod Alcedonia", Latin for "Still, Halcyon Days of Peace", and "Incorporated since June 1865".

The official guide to the Transformers video game says he's 16 feet tall. The Transformers U.K. magazine states he is 16 feet 3 inches tall, weighs 2.2 tons and has a maximum speed of 500 mph. An early interview with Michael Bay states that he is 18 feet tall. The deluxe toy suggests he is 19 feet tall at the shoulders.

The Legends 2-pack with Cliffjumper and Recon Barricade says that Cliffjumper and Barricade are old rivals. Cliffjumper often taunts Barricade into making mistakes.

Other than Scorponok, Frenzy, the Constructicons, and Sideways, Barricade is the only non-military Decepticon. In fact, he (with his partner Frenzy) and Sideways seem to be the only Decepticons who can blend into a civilian environment.

Revenge of the Fallen[]

Barricade and Sideways.

Barricade appears at the beginning of the movie like a tank, and ends up being killed by Bumblebee with your arms. It too also changed its name to Brawl to not be recognized by Autobots.Barricade too worked with his mentor, Starscream to risen Megatron. Barricade, risen, too appear in the final film part. Barricade is a scout and, therefore, is very agile (and your vehicle mode too is very agile). Being again a police cruiser in the final part of the film, Barricade can disguise themselves and hide from Autobots stopping at the parking strips in car mode, more, before that, let Alice go into it. Barricade was killed again by Optimus Prime in the film final, because Sideswipe blocked it. Barricade too talks in the film final, wich will come back together with his brother, Brawl. He too appears in the fight against Megatron, killing Acree (she revives in film final). Barricade won ammunition, in the second movie when it was resurrected by Scalpel, and therefore, shoot in the Autobot Sidswipe in Petra and was killed by Ironhide with his cannons.

The Last Knight[]

Barricade and the Decepticons served Megatron as rulers of Cybertron, and soon would become a nemesis to Unicron, as Megatron refused to be acknowledged by him as Galvatron, but could not be defeated due to their peaceful kingdom (Rather than tyranny), and they ruled the planet while the humans battled the Autobots infected with Dark Energon (Lead by Optimus Prime and also included Hound, Drift, and Crosshairs) alongside the loyal Autobots (Lead by Bumblebee and also included Dino, Ratchet, Ironhide, Jazz, and formerly Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, who was killed by Nemesis Prime), and plus Barricade became second-in-command as the same happened with his good counterpart Bumblebee, whom he helped later on and served the now-loyal Megatron, and to show his loyalty repainted himself yellow and to also resemble his new partner, as the former scouts worked together on several missions.

Later, Bumblebee loses capacity, and Barricade is defeated by the sinister Optimus Prime, but soon used his spikes and a blast from his new cannon, defeating the former Autobot leader, and thus Barricade was The Last Knight, and soon left Cybertron to find a source for a new planet for humans.

Good Cop, Bad Cop[]

After the two Bumblebee prequels, Barricade appears in the final and eighth installment of the franchise focusing on him, titled Good Cop Bad Cop, and as referred in the title, his sinister actions return when it comes to busting human criminals. A human lead role, a police officer, catches criminals with his new robot, Barricade. He also searches for a new planet designated for humans.
