Transformers For those of you wondering where Barricade was in the downtown battle...

[Bumblebee1983]

or not...

READ THE NOVEL! IT EXPLAINS IT SOOO MUCH BETTER!!!

The movie left out a lot of details....but it's still great! t:

 

[Golgo-13]

Er..why don't you just tell us?

 

[Bumblebee1983]

Er..why don't you just tell us?

Can I?????

I really don't want to ruin it.

 

[StormSailor]

Ya, go ahead - just put a big ol' SPOILER warning on the top...

 

[Golgo-13]

Yep. this is the spoiler forums. If you don't wanna ruin it for everyone, just put [ spoiler ][/spoiler ] tags around it.

 

[Bumblebee1983]

Okay...here goes:

Spoiler

Picture the scene where Barricade is leading the decepticons down the interstate in pursuit of the Bee and the other autobots. Brawl (the mine remover, not the tank, I get them so confused between the two) transforms and makes the bus explode, then OP transforms and gets into a fight with Brawl and they go over the bridge. In the novel, Barricade joins in that fight. OP brings out his plasma gun and his sword and puts a big hurting on Barricade. I don't think he's dead though. He's just too cool to kill, ya know?

Hope that explains some missing information!

 

[StormSailor]

Hmm... interesting. I may have to pick up the novel...

 

[Bumblebee1983]

Hmm... interesting. I may have to pick up the novel...

It's soooo worth it.

And the All Spark/Bee encounter is very different than what's in the movie.

 

[Bumblebee1983]

Okay, correction, it was Bonecrusher who was in that scene, not Brawl.

I get 'em confused.

Sorry!

A person shouldn't have to buy/read novels and prequel comics to fill huge plotholes in a movie. I understand that not everything can make it into the final film and movie novels are usually much more detailed than the movies and things are tweaked, but leaving something like this out of the movie just seems sloppy imo.

Thanks for the info Bumblebee1983.

Exactly, why would they not have shown what OP did to Barricade in the film? What would that have taken, 10 seconds? But don't kill him off, he is way to cool not to have back in TF2.

No problem. t:

However, Barricade, as I think Megatron and Blackout are not dead, even though we see their sparks, because Barricade does come back after his battle with Bumblebee. He is on the interstate leading the Decepticon charge after the Bee and the Cube.

Do not fear, he will be back.

I agree, I think that Barricade and Megatron will be back for sure in TF2, I would love to see Blackout, Scorponok, and Bonecrusher back also.

I sure hope they bring him back, it really didn't make any sense as he is leading the charge after Bee and the Autobots and then all of the sudden.....Gone! They sure could have had him attack OP after the OP-Bonecrusher fight, and have OP simply hurt and not kill him, it would have been much better.

My friends this is a result of Bay's crappy editing, there were so many edit mistakes it left things some-what incomplete. There is also a scene where Shia runs to BB with the cube after talking to Megan, then the next scene he is laying on the road infront of BB who is handing him the cube, I was like "WTF?".

Yeah, that's a good point. The absence of this scene may be why OP was late to the downtown battle.

Yeah Bay is not the best in the editing room that is for sure.

 

[Anti-Moderator]

He can sure blow things up real pretty though.

Yup, that he can.

Agreed.

Yeah, I didn't notice that either. Weird.

Yes he sure can.

Ehh, that cut didn't bug me much, lol.

The only thing that did bug me is when Sam had his jacket on in one scene and then off in the next; that did bug me, I hate it when scenes are mixed like that.

 

[skorponok]

Barricade disappearing doesn't bug me that much. I figure he just got run off the road

 

[TheVileOne]

The last we see of Barricade is that he's en route to the final battle, and he never shows up.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

He saw Prime kick the crap out of Bonecrusher and said "**** this, I'm gettin' the **** outta here!" That's what I reckon.

 

[Grievous]

I thought a good scene would be Barricade attacking Bumblebee while he was down and in the truck. away of getting pay back while he is down.
