‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Reveals Decepticon Barricade Back In Black (And White)
After revealing the sleeknew look for Bumblebee’s vehicle forminTransformers: The Last Knight, directorMichael Bayhas added the return of a fan favorite Decepticon to the roster of robots.
The Decepticon Barricade has been confirmed to return for the fifth film in the franchise, and following the suit of Bumblbee’s new vehicle form as a customized 2016 Camaro, the villain’s new vehicle form is an updated Ford Mustang Saleen. Check out theTransformers The Last KnightBarricade new look after the jump.
Here’s the photo Michael Bayposted to his own website:
The police car still has the Decepticon promise “to punish and enslave” on the back, side panel of the car as a variation on the usual law enforcement promise “to serve and protect.” This time the spoiler on the back of the car is a little more pronounced along with some other body customization. Here’s a shot of the regular Ford Mustang Saleen, looking more like Bumblebee, for a point of comparison:
Barricade was a big part of the first Transformers movie, skippedRevenge of the Fallen, returned forDark of the Moon, and then stayed away fromAge of Extinction(as we all should have), so he’s due for a return to the franchise. We don’t know how his robot form will have changed inThe Last Knight, but surely he’ll have some updates to his weaponry.
As for the human part of theTransformerssequel,Mark Wahlbergwill return as Cade Yeager withJosh Duhamelreturning as Lieutenant Colonel Lennox (possibly joined by solider partnerTyrese Gibson). New cast members includeIsabela Moner, Jerrod CarmichaelandSir Anthony Hopkins. Recently some new military vehicles were spotted on set, so there’s plenty more new cars coming into the fray this time as well.
Production onTransformers: The Last Knightis underway in Detroit right now, but will shoot in various places around the world, including Cuba, a fresh new location that Fast 8 is also taking advantage of as the first Hollywood movie to shoot there. Michael Bay is directing with a script fromIron ManscribesArt Marcum & Matt HollowayandKen Nolan(Black Hawk Down) and the film arrives onJune 23, 2017.
If you’re foaming at the mouth for moreTransformersaction, remember that there’s plenty more on the way with a Bumblebee spinoff coming on June 02, 2025, and yet anotherTransformerssequel on August 20, 2025. Plus ananimated Cybertron movie coming at some pointis in the works as well.
