... Or “Long Arm” / Long Arms of the Law.

I used to hate KO because they always used to be direct copies of official figures, but with cut corners. Now though.. This Barricade and some other KOs are less money AND look better than the official ones. Very tempting. I might just have to become a cheeky KO pirate myself. P-)

Oh really? I thought the original was just hunched over, lol. Also they look similar in size, so is it really oversize? EDIT: I can see now that the arms do look different, and the shoulders look taller. Just hard to tell because the colors are so dark on the original.

No, this is a KO. Its identical to the Official; not an oversize at all. The head is also the same. The main difference is the paint. That being said, and owning the official, this looks tons better. Especially since my official one has a defect on the dicast torso piece that prevents a proper transformation. Pretty sad for an official Takara.

I just got one - it's quite heavy - It's "Based on" the original for sure. But as Ben points out there is some small improvements such as more metal and some springs and Ratchets the original doesn't have it also has tinted windows- which the Real Barricade car has. The only minor issue I have is (one of which is an issue with the original mould) which is the hands could be better and the other is the hips might need the screws tightened they are very loose (just as some of the joints are in Ares Nitrogen). Perhaps the text could be clearer on the Punish and Enslave too (especially on the Drivers side rear panel). If someone wanted to go even better than this one then they could I guess paint the wheelhubs a smoke metallic and put a very very dark metallic midnight blue paint on it (as Barricade is actually blue not black - but this doesn't show up well due to the lighting in the movies). I would like a bigger Barricade one day - but I'm really pleased with this one and he looks marvellous with the Over size Nitro Zeus KO. Ben is right to say that the car "Feels" very Human Alliance - that is a fair comparison. He's well worth a buy and the Purple really makes him look so much more visually interesting and compares well to the Botcon Barricades Purple too. Perhaps one day a premium version of his earlier and later Bodies can get made too. I'd not say no to a completely different deco either - such as the Grey Security car deco or the Chinese cop car deco. I'd go so far as to say he's one of the nicest "feeling" toys I've bought this year and He's something i'd show to people to show how nice Transforming robot toys can be.

I'm pretty sure the stand is for Barracide's weapon. I vaguely remember you talking about it in your review of the offical figure.

Good work! I can always rely on you to choose which figures to buy.

Picked this guy up. SUPER pleased. I really did not like the inaccurate blue paint on the body and inaccurate silver paint on the head. But this thing is awesome and the die cast is super hefty. He stands very well.

I love the LS_02 bottleneck looks movie like.

Behold the barricade army

Looks So good! Im only collecting the LT and this i think they deliver very good products! Hope they will also do the coming Ironhide and So on

I saw in another review stating that the tolarance on the shoulder joints are much tighter than official MPM. It will be nice if someone like reprolabel can make stickers of the Decepticons police insignia.

i actually got this and an official MPM bee last week and conpairing both i can say though barricade really looks good the cost cutting measures are somewhat prominent as some of tge pins used are made up of plastic and not metal and also in robot mode the back panel with the police lights doesn't snap like the original one

This would look so cool with my LT01 bumblebee! 👍

I'm way late bro, but that little stand is actually for his Bladed wheel weapon thingy. I'm sure you've figured it out by now 😂 great vids my man. I kind of just stumbled onto this channel recently so I'm liking what I've seen so far. Keep up the good fight.

Cool that "FIN"

TF-Direct appears to have stopped selling KO figures. KO has been updated to 4th party and the selection is waaaaay less 😕

looks so good, i just wish there was some way to give his vehicle mode a decepticon insignia

Ahh so cool

Great review my friend! I was waiting for this video so i could choose which one i will buy! So... i can go now and order my "Black Mamba BMB LS-02", it looks much, much better than the official. Thanks!

Looks awesome, is what the MP should have been from the start, hate the big clunky weapon.

Man I’m early as hell! I bet in a couple of hours there is gonna be a shit load of comments

My only issues with this figure is I think they missed an opportunity to give the KO barricade LED eyes headlights and siren siren lights or at least the eyes in Siren lights but honestly it's not a deal-breaker still a gorgeous figure that I definitely plan on getting.

I just got mine and it looks great but mine has a few tolerance issues the biggest being the arms mostly the left one for the life of me will not tab in the right one will usually stay but the if you look at it the wrong way it'll fall out

Im still waiting for the best barricade, with accirate colour and transformstion, i like to see if theres any ko out there that can make its weapon part of him and not an additional accessory. Still waiting for it

I really think that its stupid to buy the official one over the ko, i mean, it looks better and is is less expensive.

Hi im subbed

Gonna have to see if I can still find me one of these to go against my Legendary Toys Bumblebee KO. Also gotta get the KOs of Ratchet, Jazz, Starscream, and another Optimus (my Legendary Toys Optimus blew up at the waist). And maybe Ironhide, if I can get that DNA Design upgrade kit.

The bottleneck figure is 1/24 scale so you can make a scene with car and plane models

Hey ben my son loves you

LS02 has "643" on front grill, MPM05 didnt have it, so I think LS02 is better, LS02 only minus 1 thing,, it has no decepticon logo,

Good ol’ Larrycade

When i transform this his knees hang out of the bottom and stop him rolling. Ive mucked about with him for hours but can't get them to sit higher. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

are the windows on the black mamba yellow?

And i just ordered mpm barricade he other day

How does he scale with the Lewin Prime lol

Ben, is this essentially the same as MPM Barricade in terms of sculpt and transformation?

I'm sure glad third party companies are making affordable, improved versions. I already got a Barricade without a box for $50 on eBay so will pass on this guy. I'm happy with my MPM Bee and Barricade but just ordered LT-02 because I wanted an improved Oprimus. I have Nitrogen Ares and am looking forward to more OS KO of movie toys to display with the MPMs!

The only bay designs I like are barricade, blackout, shockwave, jazz, soundwave and prime(first movie body and tlk head). wish I could get a last knight head with l.e.d.s to go with the black mamba os mmp body. I really dig this version of barricade but prefer the paint apps/colors on the takara versions face/head and roll bar/grill. I can always just apply some testers dull coat on the bar so no big deal, especially at such a low price point. Oh and the Windows need tinting. Wish they oversized it a bit to go with their os mpm prime.

Seeing both side by side i prefer the original. The purple is TOO shiny and for me it breaks the aesthetic of the figure. A darker purple would been so much better

Remember how awful was MP Movie Prime and LT make him glorious. And it's more cheaper than the official one. This Barricade makes look the official like a bootleg.
