Picked up Barricade and Jazz at Target today. Jazz was the one I was looking forward to the most, but it was Barricade that blew me away.
This guy better be a maniac in the movie. Dude looks like he was built to kill Autobots.
The transformations on both were a little more difficult than I expected, but I think that's due to the designs of the bots having to fit into a reasonable facsimilie of a Saleen Mustang and a hardtop Pontiac Solstice (which is a car that doesn't really exist, yet.) Once you get them transformed, they're actually very neat. Jazz's forearms and shoulders gave me a bit of trouble, since Hasbro still doesn't take them time to add any text to the instructions, but once you get it figured out, it will stick with you.
Barricade's transformation is a little easier. He doesn't have any weapons, but once you see his hands, you'll see why.
As an added bonus, Barricade comes with a small version of Frenzy, who pops out of the grill of the Mustang. He doesn't do much besides fold up, but I suppose that's why Hasbro is going to offer a Deluxe version later this summer. I wonder if this bugger was supposed to be Soundwave, since he transforms into a CD player.
Anywho, these are some really neat toys. I'm almost tempted to run back to Target to pick up Bumblebee.
