Hey Trans I just want to start this message off by saying thank you for filling in all the gaps you worked really hard on this video. I am going to leave a like to remember that you don’t do this for just you alone, you do this for us because as you have said before trans theories would not be where it is today. Thank you, I have one question though which version of barricade do you like better the tf1 Mustang or the tlk 2015 Ford Mustang obvi with police parts.

Well he wasn't psycho in the first movie he became an anti- hero after he's death i think he was in rage and disipointed since he was trying to protect Sam but died in the process and also how much he tried to have a truce with Megs. Megs denied every truce and I think that He killed Megatron just to make him what he felt when he was trying to have a truce and then became an anti-hero.

[@wurmrave6831]

Barricade is lowkey the smartest character. He somehow ran away from lockdown, survive being sniped/having his legs exploded, survived the chicago invasion, fought bumblebee and lived, and somehow survive until the franchise ended. Like starscream said "sometimes cowards do survive"

[@Grubnar]

That is why I (and so many other) like him. He is not "stupid Evil". He has his strengths and weaknesses. He is not just a brute fighter. He is cunning, he relies on ambushing, and infiltration and information gathering, to give him the edge he needs to win. And I don't think he is a coward. He is just more realistic than most Decepticons ... I think at the end, when he was at Stonehenge, he meant what he said, he was prepared to fight to the death, to give all he's got for a cause he believes is greater than himself ... that is not cowardice, that is heroism! Misguided as it may be. He would have made a fine Autobot.

[@kratkartan1486]

Fun Fact: Barricade was a cop before the war. This explains why he was comfortable posing as a cop and able to stay hidden for so long every time he was forced to flee which has been his tactic up until stone hedge. At stone hedge I believe he surrender after the others ran as he is a survivor and probably felt betrayed as Megatron left him to take the fall. I believe when he surrendered, he struck a deal of amnesty to not be executed and told them what to expect on Cybertron and exactly where the ignition chamber was.

[@nerdy_1439]

That could explain alot. I mean before the war many of the autobots and deceptions were at peace and did have jobs within cybertron

I like how Barricade became kind a mystery due to some cut scenes and mysteriously popping in and out of universe. Which caused him to be unintentionally noticed by fans. I even remember seeing him in Dark of the Moon and being excited he suddenly reappeared. He was just this random decepticon who outlived even some of the biggest Con names out there.... including Megatron, twice. And eventually that fame just ressurected him back into the franchise by a reddit forum.

After megatron ( galvatron ) losing in tf4, he was last seen on the big plane and barricade couldve been in there too along with many other human transformers. megatron went with quintessa and got his new form and also barricade did too.

If Barricade ever appears in the Transformers reboot franchise (Bumblebee and the upcoming Transformers: Rise of the Beasts), I think he would no longer disappear from every battle that he's involved in. He can also be Prowl's rival, since both of them transform into police cars, and it might have a backstory where Prowl and Barricade used to be friends, but when the war happened, they become enemies.

18:51 That actually got me thinking. Throughout the 3rd movie opening we never see Sentinel, and that has to do with being in the crash vault. But when he returns he never wondered what happened to his crew. Something tells me that they might've locked Sentinel in there and they knew about his plan. I doubt that these Autobot troops would ever side with Decepticons even when it involved Cybertron. But I think that they were keeping him Prisoner and went to Earth to warn any Autobots there, but unfortunately died in the process

A thing to add, if Barricade had "died" in this off screen fight with Optimus, we could assume he was decapitated but its a ruse. As we see in The Last Knight, Bumblebee was able to make himself fall apart on command. So if we assume all Transformers can do this to some capacity, Barricade could have detached his had before impact with the column, and make it look like he was killed by Optimus, seeing as how most media outside the movie depicts thats how he dies.

[@jamescandalino3458]

Though in TLK, Cade himself says that he gave Bee that ability. So it might not have been a normal think that Cybertronians can do.

there was going to be a scene where barricade appearing in the city doing some kind of spinning stunt, but it was cut out for some reason. Also they brought barricade back in TLK to do nothing, we expected an actual physical fight to go down without any cut aways but look how that turned out.

@@Theorymus And your amazing at it. I have a theory myself that I would like to run past you. Why does Optimus prime revert to his knight form in Age Of Extinction and The Last Knight. I personaly think he had a knight form in the past (based from your videos) however upon learning about quintessa's true movtives from the gurdian knights and learning that she is the great deciever. He chose to abandon his knight form and embrace the normal cybertronian form and do the duty of a prime, protecting all life. However once we get to Age Of Extinction we see that humans had completly betrayed him and hunted down all transformers. I personally believe that Optimus decided to revert back to his knight form to symbolise his change in motivations. He is now fighting to keep his cybertronain brothers alive, to represent that, he became a knight again as the last time he was a knight he was fighting for cybertron and in Age of Extiction he is once again fighting for cybertron and the survival of cybertronians. Thats my theory what do you think?

Hello Trans, I just wanted to say awesome video!! thanks for stopping by my channel! I hope for nothing but success in your future videos! Also thanks for explaining the transformer storyline in more depth, actually helps out a lot! 👍🏽 As always “Symbols roll out” 😎🙌

[@shadowmarauder6033]

Barricade is still my favorite movieverse transformer, since new toys and characterizations are still based in his bay version, instead of going back to his forgettable g1 roots

[@jaidenplayzzzx]

Alright barricade story is dope has some nice setbacks even though he was only brought back thanks to the power of fans.

[@xanderkingan5856]

I like the idea that Barricade survived the battle Chicago but if he really did die then I think that he may have gotten a new body from the company making the drones. We know this is possible because Megatron did it to himself so what if he selected a few other Decepticons to join him in "ressurection".

[@primexproductions2515]

As always, this is very informative, and well done!

[@Theorymus]

Thx

[@Johhnyboy6]

I remembered asking this a year or two ago, and finally we got such a detailed video about him, super great video man

[@Theorymus]

Thx

[@OptimusPrime1848]

I've been looking forward to this also I think the transformer games for the DS make me appreciate Barricade a whole lot more as a villain

[@justinvillar7008]

I never realize that barricade is still there as the movie went on because I thought Bumblebee killed him completely and think that he's a basic and easy decepticon that bumblebee defeated but now I realize these things I never notice.

[@benazirislam409]

I have one more theory why barricade can transform with the new leg.....since it's a protoform leg the very type which is compatible for any transformer to change into the desired design for an alt mode....that's why ....he was able to reconfigure that back into his alt mode...and Megatron new arm was also of a protoform so....can it be true ?...

[@sillyman5796]

I really wanted barricade to have more screen time and him and bee seems like a good rival I wanted barricade to be equal to bee it’s a shame he didn’t get that much screen time and he is so underrated he deserves more.

[@mogwiawolf4354]

i love Barricade and i think its awesome that he's lived this long but i liked how he looked in the first movie rather then in last knight but if he still lives i hope he joins Optimus Prime cause that would be awesome in my opinion

[@bigsmoke248]

First..its 2pm here but its always a great time to watch your videos and second about blackout and grindor..i have a theory that they were twins like dreadwing is for skyquake. The reason why grindor got on earth would be the same as why did dreadwing in tfp. What's your opinion about that?

[@mikathomo391]

Let's just face it. Aoe and tlk take place in a different universe, that's my head cannon anyways

[@Dracsticaliscool]

Barricade has to be the coolest robot in bayformers

[@KayzIdeas]

I really like the use of cutscenes from Transformers: The Video Game. Some of the most fun memories I had on the family PS2.

[@sulaimaanazoor]

So Barricade's timeline goes like this. 1) December 2003 - Barricade leaves Cybertron to find clues about the Allspark and then lands on Earth in Oklahoma (USA) 2) June 2007 - Barricade finds Sam and asks about where the Allspark is and fights Bumblebee and Optimus Prime before being knocked out. Starscream finds Barricade and lets him stay hidden. 3) July 2007 to August 2009 - Barricade told the relevant information to the other Deceptions about the information about Earth. 4) September 2009 - Barricade makes plans for "Project Sentinel. Soundwave asked Barricade to watch over Dylan Gould, Jerry Wang, Bob Singer and Alexander Vosgod. 5) October 2009 to August 2013 - Barricade watched over the deceptions and the human collaborators working with the deceptions. 6) September 2013 - Barricade fights against Nest and the Autobots during the Battle of Chicago but also fakes his death. He does kill Que/Wheeljack. 7) October 2013 to April 2018 - Barricade escapes from Chicago and hides from Cemetery Wind. 8) May 2018 - Barricade successfully escapes from Cemetery Wind and gets a different new body type. 9) May 2022 - Barricade fights against TRF and the Autobots. Barricade either escaped or he died.

I really doubt that Barricade has plot armor at all to keep on living. I think he's just wise enough to only attack on limited amount of time before retreating, which most other Decepticons don't do.

[@Grubnar]

That is why I (and so many others) like him. He is not "stupid Evil". He has his strengths and weaknesses. He is not just a brute fighter. He is cunning, he relies on ambushing, and infiltration and information gathering, to give him the edge he needs to win. And I don't think he is a coward. He is just more realistic than most Decepticons ... I think at the end, when he was at Stonehenge, he meant what he said, he was prepared to fight to the death, to give all he's got for a cause he believes is greater than himself ... that is not cowardice, that is heroism! Misguided as it may be. He would have made a fine Autobot.
