WFC: Siege | The Barricade Law

Barricade is an unknown character to most Transformers toy collectors, but was known because he was the Decepticon that chased down Bumblebee in the 2007 live-action film that was interrogating LadiesMan217 (aka Spike Witwicky) in search of the artefact that would bring back Megatron to life.

There’s a similar character that was introduced in the comicbooks from the IDW 2005 Continuity and the most recent reboot for 2019.

But the later takes inspiration based on the aesthetics and design from the War For Cybertron: Siege assortment of action figures released for 2019. This Barricade though takes both inspirations from the said Live-Action film and an old Micromaster toy!

Power of the Primes | Bludgeon Prime

05.24.2019 – There have been many characters introduced in Transformers from the original animated series to the beloved comicbooks written by Simon Furman with artwork by Andrew Wildman.

It’s a challenge to track each one if you just got into the hobby collecting the characters.

But as fan for its world building the stories by Simon Furman got some interesting characters fleshed out that wasn’t given screen time in the cartoon.

There have been some interesting ones out there that are dark and weird and one of them became a personal favourite with Bludgeon, the Decepticon’s Samurai Warrior!

Robots in Disguise | Getting Bludgeon-ed

12.07.2018 – When you talk about Transformers and the Decepticons you think about the usual bad guys that make up the faction. From Megatron, Shockwave, Starscream, and his seeker team they’re most known baddies that put the Autobots to shame. All of them have appeared in the classic cartoons, but the comic books are entirely different they flesh out more characters that you won’t expect.

Bludgeon is one of those characters that Simon Furman has introduced in the original Marvel published series that lasted up to issue 80. Then this series was revived from issue 81 to 100 by IDW Publishing with some retcons and continuation of the saga. But before the Marvel cancellation Bludgeon was heavily featured in that final issue that made this character memorable.

TF Henkei! | Megatron Nerf Wars

11.16.2018 – When you mention the name Megatron the first thoughts on everyone’s mind when you grow up watching Transformers is the Decepticon Leader. Of course, in that frame of perspective anyone knows that he turns into a gun. But most people would always have Soundwave in mind due to his popular very cold robotic voice and immediately not have Megatron in the conversation.

Usually for those who had Transformers in their childhood would always think Megatron was a gun and never a tank or a jet. But due to child safety and gun laws concerns in the late 1980s and 1990s up to no now Megatron would become so many things unlike Optimus Prime in everyone he will always be a big red truck hauling a trailer that disappears out of thin air. Megatron deserves a spotlight right?
