## Bio

### Transformers

After being active on Earth for some time, Barricade arrived to pick up Frenzy at the airport after his attempt to hack into the U.S. military network on Air Force One failed.

Using data that Frenzy had acquired, they both learned of Sector
Seven, "Project Iceman", Captain Archibald Witwicky and the discovery of
 the entombed Megatron.
 The two were able to use the internet to search one of Witwicky's
descendants, Samuel Witwicky, whom his username known as ladiesman217,
and a pair of glasses that Megatron had accidentally marked with the
location of the long-lost All Spark. Frenzy declared that they need to
find Sam, and Barricade moved out to search for him.

Later, Barricade confronted Sam regarding his recent eBay
auctions while the human was fleeing Bumblebee, whom the human
mistakenly believed was out to harm him. Sam fell for Barricade's ruse,
and requested the "officer's" help, only for Barricade to ram him
several times and transforming before him. As Sam fled, Barricade
knocked him onto the hood of an abandoned car, then violently demanded
information on eBay item 21153. Sam and Mikaela Banes, who had been
drawn into the encounter, managed to escape him when Bumblebee convinced
 the boy to trust him, and Barricade transformed and pursued both the
Autobot and two humans to a junkyard. After temporarily losing and then
regaining their position, he charged into battle, activating his
mace/rotating blade, and dispatched Frenzy to chase down the humans.
However, his battle with Bumblebee ended because Barricade had taken
heavy damage. Considering the fact that Frenzy was decapitated, he got
off lucky.

Evidently, though, he recovered and was back into full working
order when Frenzy (who had survived and infiltrated Sector Seven's base)
 transmitted both Megatron and the All Spark's location to his fellow
Decepticons. When the humans fled with the All Spark, Barricade joined
in the pursuit along with Brawl and Bonecrusher. Devastator
 soon broke off on an alternate route, while Barricade and Bonecrusher
hit the freeway, making contact with the Autobot/human convoy. Barricade
 attempted to clear some room for the two Decepticons by activating his
sirens; Bonecrusher simply rammed everything in his way. Sam recognized
Barricade and warned that they were in danger. Optimus Prime, Ironhide,
and Ratchet aligned to block their access to Bumblebee, who contained
the humans and the All Spark.

Bonecrusher went on the offensive that ended up fighting the
Autobot leader, and Barricade, being outnumbered 3 to 1, did not
continue to pursue the others.

### *Transformers: Dark of the Moon*

Despite being absent in the second film, Barricade made an appearance
 in the third film. He was one of the many Decepticons seen in the
invasion of Chicago. Eventually, he, Soundwave, Shockwave and many others rounded up most of the Autobots and held them, prisoners. With some motivation from Dylan Gould, Soundwave
 decided to execute the Autobots. Soundwave shoved Que/Wheeljack in the
center of the circle where he was shot and killed by Barricade. Later
on, his former defected minion Wheelie and his comrade Brains dumped
debris from a Decepticon ship that they hijacked that freed Bumblebee
and the other Autobots and resulted in Bumblebee killing Soundwave.
Barricade is outraged over the Autobots escaping and proceeded to lash
out physically and verbally at his soldiers.
When the N.E.S.T. reinforcements arrived, he was attacked and blinded by
 the snipers while confronting at a fellow Decepticon. Unfortunately, a
soldier placed a boomstick on his leg created by the Autobots, crippling
 him and he is shot by the N.E.S.T. soldiers. Barricade then isn't seen
afterward.

### *Transformers: The Last Knight*

Barricade returns in *The Last Knight* and is the film's
secondary antagonist, revealing that he survived the events of somehow
survived after the battle for Chicago and he was the only Decepticon
besides Megatron who was able to escape capture by the T.R.F.
(Transformers Reaction Force). His robot mode is upgraded to include
hints of blue patterns and now transforms into a new Ford Mustang police
 car. Megatron expresses anger at Barricade's failure to retrieve the
medallion from Steelbane and Cade Yeager, making Barricade defend that
he was forced to retreat to avoid getting shot at or taken prisoner by
the TRF. To appease Megatron, Barricade notified him of the TRF which
allowed Megatron to directly contact Colonel Lennox to secure the
release of imprisoned Decepticons Mohawk, Dreadbot, Nitro Zeus, and
Onslaught. Megatron and his crew then set out to go kill the Autobots
and Cade Yeager hiding out in the junkyard. The Decepticons lose the
fight, however, due to Grimlock being too much of a match for them. Only
 Megatron, Barricade and Nitro Zeus survive the fight which they retreat
 due to being outmatched. Then, Barricade pursues his arch-enemy
Bumblebee in Oxford, England in an attempt to snatch Cade out of
Bumblebee but also looking to resume fighting with his old foe, but the
Autobot scout easily takes him out with a few blasts, as
Barricade crashes into several human drivers and mutters "Ow! Oh, that
hurt".

Barricade is seen during the final battle taking place at
Stonehenge, but he disappears and he survived at all His further destiny
 is unknown.
