The Fully Explained Barricade Timeline Theory

Hey Trans I just want to start this message off by saying thank you for filling in all the gaps you worked really hard on this video. I am going to leave a like to remember that you don’t do this for just you alone, you do this for us because as you have said before trans theories would not be where it is today. Thank you, I have one question though which version of barricade do you like better the tf1 Mustang or the tlk 2015 Ford Mustang obvi with police parts.

Imagine how the franchise would go if Barricade spoke like a normal cybertronian and negotiate with Sam instead of threatening him and chasing him for the glasses

Barricade is lowkey the smartest character. He somehow ran away from lockdown, survive being sniped/having his legs exploded, survived the chicago invasion, fought bumblebee and lived, and somehow survive until the franchise ended. Like starscream said "sometimes cowards do survive"

Fun Fact: Barricade was a cop before the war. This explains why he was comfortable posing as a cop and able to stay hidden for so long every time he was forced to flee which has been his tactic up until stone hedge. At stone hedge I believe he surrender after the others ran as he is a survivor and probably felt betrayed as Megatron left him to take the fall. I believe when he surrendered, he struck a deal of amnesty to not be executed and told them what to expect on Cybertron and exactly where the ignition chamber was.

I like how Barricade became kind a mystery due to some cut scenes and mysteriously popping in and out of universe. Which caused him to be unintentionally noticed by fans. I even remember seeing him in Dark of the Moon and being excited he suddenly reappeared. He was just this random decepticon who outlived even some of the biggest Con names out there.... including Megatron, twice. And eventually that fame just ressurected him back into the franchise by a reddit forum.

"if you remember in the first movie, prime wasn't a psycho." I died laughing 🤣

Barricade, the one Decepticon that always skips a battle or two without getting scold or beat up by his team. Anyways, amazing theory as always.

I love barricade's first trilogy look more. A mix of that and TLK look would look good too as long as he has the first head. Also trans what would it look like if barricade tarsnformed without his legs and prime too without his arm, they would've transformed but the looks of the vehicle will look funny and fail the "robots in disguise" like who would think a cop car with the back missing and robot parts hanging from the back driving around is normal? Yeah that's normal lol

Prime even said himself in the Transformers Prime series "Every Sentient being posseses the capacity for change." thus he spared barricades life.

Somethings in life are just set in stone Optimus Prime always dies Cliffjumper always dies Megatron always comes back Sideways is secretly a God and Barricade always disappears and comes back, another great video Trans, can't wait to see what you do next

“Megatron eating Jazz’s spark” Well, that’s just terrifying. I mean, It’s essentially the transformers equivalent to ripping someone’s heart out and eating it raw. I didn’t even know he could even use his mouth to eat tbh,..

According to the wiki Bonecrusher was also an extremely dangerous individual entirely. So Prime killing him ultimately did a tremendous service to the safety of Autobots, humans and even the Decepticons themselves. Since he is known for being bloodthirsty and merciless.

12:35 my personal headcanon is that Jazz’s death contributed heavily to Prime’s far more violent personality seen in later movies, but thats just me

Barricade just likes to plan his appearances to be every film that has an odd number in the franchise TF1 DOTM TLK

It's kinda funny 07- there Rotf- gone Dotm- there Aoe- gone Tlk- there

Barricade is exceptionally sneaky. And not the Starscream kind, the TF2 spy kind. Hes so good at his job that, in the Cybertron games, he could talk back to Megs without getting punished. And his tendency to shoot to wound gets a lot of dividends on his interrogation sidejob.

If Barricade ever appears in the Transformers reboot franchise (Bumblebee and the upcoming Transformers: Rise of the Beasts), I think he would no longer disappear from every battle that he's involved in. He can also be Prowl's rival, since both of them transform into police cars, and it might have a backstory where Prowl and Barricade used to be friends, but when the war happened, they become enemies.

Nobody: Not even a single soul: Barricade: A D I O S

The story writers should thank you for this. They probably didn't care about the timeline that much lol.

My theory is he survived DOTM, in a stasis state due to his leg missing and eyes damaged. When we see Sentinel, he's limp, so it is logical that Barricade could've just gone into stasis to avoid further damage.
