Transformers - Decepticons - Barricade and Blackout

Having collected most of the voyager and deluxe class of movie Autobots (except for the vastly available Optimus Prime and the fatty Jazz), I now shift the focus to the movie Decepticons. And the Decepticons are all badass cool machine.

Barricade is the first Transformers that actually speaks in the film, he takes the form of a police car, a form usually associated with the Autobots Prowl in the G1 incarnation.

The police car is a sleek one, our local police car using those milo can rubbish is just a disgrace. Police car should be cool, so it can be respectable, intimidating and looks more confidence. Barricade comes with a simple Frenzy figure hidden behind the front bumper.

The robot mode looks like an easy Transformation. It is, but just that my toys has some rather loose joints. So, I find it hard to pose him.

But overall, it is a cool robot. Uglier than he's alt mode, but serves it purpose. What can be more scary than a protective police car transforms into an ugly bad robot?

Being a Decepticons police car robot, it has the persona of a typical movie bad cop.

There's no Automorph in the figure, but it has a punching gimmick in the right arm. A bit lackluster, but we can't expect Automorph in a rather simple transformation toy.

Next we have the first Trasnformers we see in the movie. The deceptive, brutal and efficient Blackout!

Taking form of a military used helicopter, somehow from the alt mode, we may think it is an Autobots.

Like Barricade, its pet comes a long with him. A simple looking non-transformable Scorponok.

Being the tallest Voyager toy, it somehow looks more majestic and elegant than the Decepticons leader.

Initial plan to have this as Soundwave, but ultimately decide not to include Soundwave in the movie, which is good. Blackout is a good figure, but his fate is not justified to be Soundwave.

It is a handsome toy, one of the best in the movie line, definitely the best in the Decepticons fracture.

His tail in the robot mode can be detached and mount on shoulder and hand to be used as weapon.

It is enjoyable to pose him. He is a stable figure for any pose.

Both Decepticons in their alt forms.

Interestingly, out of six vehicle Decepticons in the movie, four has name starting with "B" - Blackout, Barricade, Brawl and Bonecrusher (wrongly named as Devastator in the movie's caption)
