Product Description
Transformers Movie Deluxe Barricade features spring-loaded punch-attack action and a deception frenzy figure that ejects from its chest in robot mode. This is one awesome figure for your collection. The greatest thrill in his life knows people trust him because of the human decorations on his door panels. The look of betrayal they get when they realize what they?re dealing with is as sweet as candy. The only thing he likes better is chasing down auto bots and breaking them into pieces with his powerful arms and crushing, hydraulic hands.Special Transformers Feature: Shattered Glass Cyclonus
I had originally planned to do this entry immediately after the one for the club version of Punch/Counterpunch. After all, Punch/Counterpunch (henceforth referred to as "P/CP") and Shattered Glass Cyclonus were the two 2010 Transformers Club exclusives, and I had gotten both at the same time. I had even started the process of taking pictures of the toy before I realized that something was very, very wrong. Something that required that I postpone this entry for few weeks.
It's kind of a pity, because in most respects, this toy is a better toy than P/CP. At least, it lacks P/CP's obvious issues. At least one commenter has suggested that this is because Shattered Glass Cyclonus is less ambitious than P/CP. No remolded parts, no attempt to engineer a transformation the original mold never intended (Punch's legs). Just a straight repaint from one color scheme to another.
Shattered Glass Cyclonus borrows his color scheme from Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, suggesting that the two characters (or, at least, the "regular" universe versions of these two) are somehow counterparts to each other. I'm sure that more than a few Transformers fans would dispute that comparison (I agree with those who've suggested that Cyclonus is more analogous to Ultra Magnus), but even so, the color scheme translates pretty well.
Since Shattered Glass...
