Revenge of the Fallen Barricade in ROTF

[neevnav]

So I think I've found fairly solid evidence that Barricade is in ROTF.

Caution, spoilers from Alliance #4 below, so if you haven't read it and don't want to be spoiled, turn back.








So part way through issue 4, the Autobots are hunting Cons all over the world. However, at one point, Ironhide tells Prime that Barricade got away again says he'll notify Bumblebee, who is with Sam. Here's the panel that it appears in.

So I think we'll see Barricade once again hunting down Bumblebee and Sam, since this issue ends right as ROTF begins. So he's definitely alive at the start of the film.

Thoughts?

Bay edited out his death scene from the first movie due to his popularity, so I'd be surprised if he wasn't back.

I think he was cut for budget, actually

 

[LightningFlash]

He's in the movie; we've seen pictures of the Saleen already.

 

[CyclopsSummers]

Barricade may be a cameo
Hes not mentionned on the transformers 'list

 

[LightningFlash]

And neither is Megatron, but we know he's in it.

 

[Anubis Raptor]

There's always a possibility...

 

[powerbomb1411]

But Megatron is plastered all over the trailer. I'm almost wondering if Barricade won't be in it, maybe they had him on set just to throw us off, or maybe he's in a cameo just to die. I mean, there were a few of him, maybe he needed to be blown up multiple times.

 

[shigsy2003]

Barricade doesn't appear. Sorry.

 

[protocida]

Barricade has to appear in Transformers 3.

And fight Prowl.

 

[LightningFlash]

That's one thing I hate about the films.

Barricade shows up in the first one, then disappears, and now won't even be in ROTF.

That's pretty lame if you ask me.

 

[DW4]

Agreed, very lame and lazy.

 

[protocida]

He got cut. There were pictures of his alt-mode on Set. I believe he was supposed to attack Sam's college.

 

[LightningFlash]

So why does he keep getting cut then?

Bay has said before that his death scene got cut because he was a popular character in the first film. And then they focused some on him in the prequel comics, but yet, he's still cut from ROTF.

He better be in the third movie though.

 

[Superhero 101]

i thought barricade attacked Sam in the Library. That sucks.

 

[protocida]

I believe he was going to. They problably cut him due budget and/or overcrowing.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

In Transformers: Reign of Starscream 1 or 2 we see that after he drove off (in Transformers 1) he was killed.

 

[protocida]

No, he survived. Starscream told him to stay on Earth as a spy.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Oh, alright. He looked pretty messed up so I figured Starscream just left him there to die.

 

[Grievous]

Spoiler

Barricade attacks Sam in the college he goes to in the movie. It's in the trailer when Sam gets under the table and you see the wall being knocked down in the background but it stops there because Bay wants Barricade's apperance in the flim to be a surprise for all the Barricade fans out there, like me!

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Spoiler

Alice the Predator informs Barricade Sam is there.

 

[Mantis Rapture]

Barracaide AINT IN THE FILM. AT ALL.

Spoiler

Alice is the one who bursts through the wall during the college scene.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Spoiler

Because she has the strength to do something like that? Doubtful.

 

[Mantis Rapture]

I've seen the film twice, dude.

Only one of those times was out of choice, by the way.

No Barracaide.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Cool story, bro.
