Awesome video, I'm glad I was able to get this pack due to missing out on the S.I.E.G.E Barricade and 2018 Punch / Counterpunch. Plus I'm glad you voiced the point of the color downgrade to P.C.P, but was really pleased to get my hands on that Barricade, just wish the kept the purple windows from the S.I.E.G.E version. Plus my head canon for Barricade is that he left his racing crew and had himself modified with a bigger body (thanks to Shockwave) and joined Cybertron security, but after being found out as a bad cop and joining the Decepticon faction, Barricade is reunited with his racing crew as his deputies / sidekicks (I managed to find the other two mini-cons, but still missing "Motorhead")
funny thing is my earthrise barricade has his left shin unpainted, when he arrived i was half way through transforming him when i realized his shin was flat out unpainted brand new and i was a little mad but now im just thinking how i can just tape it a little and paint after doing some color matching
Fun Fact: Movie Barricade was originally going to be Autobot Prowl, but Michael Bay wanted the Police, Military, Air Force, etc to only be Decepticons. So Bay changed his name to Barricade and turned him into [a Bad Cop] Decepticon. Now Hasbro gone full circle with their Siege/Earthrise Barricade!!
Gotta say, I like that decision for the first movie honestly, it gives the impression that the Autobots and Decepticons use their disguises for different reasons. Autobots tend to pick civilian vehicles to hide among the populace, while Decepticons pick military and governments vehicles in order to infiltrate these organizations and obtain valuable information.
@@CollinBuckman That, or they just wanted to look like the most evil, destructive and antihuman organisations on the planet, and they fit the bill perfectly. :D
Funny you mention it, in the fan made series transformers interstellar by Sam jay flatman, barricade joins up with the autobots to defeat galvatron and gets renamed to prowl.
The reason why the re-release Punch is light blue with a yellow stripe is because it's a reference to Nightbeat. This in of itself is a reference to Kre-O (does anyone actually remember Kre-O lol) where it sold Punch with the name Nightbeat for some bizarre reason.
If the leaks are ture, we literally are getting both. Plus, do you really think they'd make two whole molds for some random 2 packs that they barely even released in places I other than America? And repainting Punch/Counterpunch into both would be illogical.
Barricade: "Ah, now we have to play good cop bad cop." Punch: "And you're the bad cop." Barricade: "Well, yes, but actually no." (Prowl has entered the chat)
BEST COMMERCIAL BREAK EVER!!! Because right when you said "you should probably go check on that" I realized my son and his friend were being waaaaaay too quiet to be doing anything good. So I paused and checked. They had smuggled an entire box of Oreo cookies into his room and were in the process of consuming all the evidence. So naturally I yelled at them for not letting me in on this! Great work Mr Eyebrow! Buttery smooth as usual!
18:14 little did punch know that his pun would cause highbrow to take that a bit too literally also prowl going full idw prowl before shifting into movie barricade is hillarious
I bought this because I wanted punch/counter punch because I missed the first one in potp and after market prices skyrocketed. Barricade was basically surplus to requirements but I was so impressed by Barricade. Both are just awesome!
Looks like a neat set. Although Punch/Counter-Punch having some missing paint and the set being a exclusive is a bit of a bummer. Also I’m missing the translucent purple that the Siege Barricade had. Maybe that would make the grayish-lavender parts feel less weird on it. Nicely done video overall.
One of the best intro sketches yet, surpassed only by your Omega Supreme video! And a great review of two cool figures to follow! Thank you! Regarding the inconsistent blue: It's not just this guy, it's practically ALL big blue robot characters that have this problem. Thundercracker (who is NEVER the same colour twice), Punch / Counterpunch, Tank from the GoBots / Machine Robo . . . I think the ONLY big blue robot that ever gets a consistent Pantone treatment in every iteration is the Blue Lion from Voltron. But, yeah, that's definitely Nightbeat's colours on that P/CP.
I saw this review at the perfect time! I just read the IDW ‘84 Secrets and Lies series that punch-counterpunch narrates since he sees both sides of the war and that was so amazing I need to get my hands on his toy one way or another
It's nice to see reviews by someone who actually knows cars--because I don't! I like the way you analyze the details instead of just saying "It's a good/bad-looking car mode." :-)
I just can't stop watching that bad cop crazy cop. It just feels right. Especially seeing Prowl blowing his top off and his signature move...table flipping! Beautiful, just simply, beauuuutiful!!!
The regular release for Punch was just too expensive on the after market for me so getting Barricade and Punch together in one pack was the better deal in my opinion
I accidentally broke the barrel of the blaster of Barricade and for some odd reason, without the barrel it really looks like a futuristic pistol which is something I find rather cool than the ones with long barrels.
Woah the silent shoutout! Great video and worth the wait. The opening skit for this video is probably one of my favorites so far. Looking forward to the next video!
15:27 i have wanted see Prowl vs Barricade for years after seeing it in Randall NG/Dr Smoov’s 3D G1 animations so thank you. Seeing the Alternator’s Acura RSX stand up to the S197 Ford Mustang was everything. Punch counterpunch is something that i always like seeing, but i always get the feeling that the designers could have done “better”
This set had one major advantage. PotP Punch-Counterpunch is way to expensive, so Hasbro rereleasing him with slight color changes means that people can get him without paying absurd amounts of money
My thought process: Ah barricade toy looks like prowl and he is the corrupt decepticon cop. I also remember the movie scene "are you jada jada" Then a mystery who could be worse than him. BAM! actual prowl kicks in, whamps the table idw style and quotes movie barricade. Awesome!
Apparently it was picked out in that color scheme because his Kre-O toy was called Nightbeat...which is odd since I don't know why his Kre-O toy was called Nightbeat in the first place. It doesn't even have the traditional Nightbeat colors. Just his. My head hurts.
And with punch you can swap the legs on the ball joints if you want the feet for both robot modes and just use the waist as a transformation joint, it also gives counterpunch yellow underpants
Being Generation selects it's ment as collectors version. Barricade being a nod to Siege Barricade colours(light purple arms etc). In a G1 earthmode Datsun style.
If I wanted to get Punch I'd honestly be a bit torn. On one hand, I like the extra detail with the paint on the darker blue one. On the other, I prefer the lighter blue of the light blue one, and the yellow stripe looks nice on it. I just wish the rims were painted silver, its always annoying when they don't paint rims any colour at all.
'your kids are in the next room and there a bit to quiet for that' man knows his audience, and somehow managed to throw in a 'its 4PM....do you know where YOUR children are?' reference and i love it x3
If i had both versions of P/CP, I'd probably swap the wheels head and hands from the old one and put them on the newer one, making my own definitive P/CP. But I'm also happy owning the older one
Fantastic review The Lazy Eyebrow!!!! :D I found out that if you hide the Decepticon logo in car mode the roof halves line up more securely and makes the roof look like it is not separated into two halves. :D Keep on being amazing.
Some family friend was giving away their transformers toys and I found this Counterpunch figure in the box. Not sure where Barricade went, but apparently this is an Exclusive 2pack set from Amazon.

Then why the hell didn’t they release him as Nightbeat?!
And while they’re at it, instead of lifeline they could’ve put Minerva in the Ratchet 2 pack!

@@douggietheepiccaledonian1232
True
That walking/table flip animation for Prowl in the opening skit was so clean!
I was expecting barricade’s partner to be bayverse barricade
Beat it counterpunch we don't need your comment
Ah a g1 reference

Bad cop, Worse cop

Great work Mr Eyebrow! Buttery smooth as usual!
That's fantastic. I'm sharing this with my friend who helped write that line haha
Man I sure do love to see prowl flip a table. IDW Perfected it.
18:14
little did punch know that his pun would cause highbrow to take that a bit too literally
also prowl going full idw prowl before shifting into movie barricade is hillarious
Talk about a PUNCHline
Damn it Prowl, this is why Chromedome left you for Rewind.

Perfection.
Punch/ Counterpunch: The only robot who was ever really in disguise
TFA Shockwave?
@@_V.Va_ Fair point
I dunno why but I ¾ expected Wheeljack to run out and repair Puntercounch’s broken leg.
Dude. The opening was beautiful. Especially the table flip. Whatever you do for a living, see if you can make more working for Robot Chicken.

But, yeah, that's definitely Nightbeat's colours on that P/CP.
I usually keep the shoulders in the same place for both Punch and Counterpunch and spin the waist around for Punch
If you spin the waist around, aren't you making their legs identical?
@@benvoliothefirst
Yeah but it looks better IMO
18:11 one of my favorite skits lmao
I love how the first thing prowl does when he enters the room is flip the table nice comic reference
"couch/punter couch"
-a wise British fellow
I personally think that Punch/Counterpunch’s Vehicle mode is inspired by the modern NSX, but I do see the GM inspiration.
I love that you customized Bugbite into what is essentially the Toyota Sprinter from Initial D. Even down to the decals on the sides.
i didn't show it but it also has the decals at the back to like "trueno" and the license plate etc
I saw this review at the perfect time! I just read the IDW ‘84 Secrets and Lies series that punch-counterpunch narrates since he sees both sides of the war and that was so amazing I need to get my hands on his toy one way or another

Happy to see another video, loved the opening bit! (Especially the set design)
Thanks. Worked really hard on this one. (Nice to hear from you again!)
@@TheLazyEyebrow I can really tell, this was a great watch (Good to be back B-)
I love the fact you use Chrono trigger themes in your skits! It really makes them better! (not that they arent good in the first place!)
I love the stop motion reviews. Their just so much more interesting than normal reviews
I absolutely love how any feature on Barricade is just a mix of footage from all of the other Fairladies
Thanks for the fine animation. Chug is where it’s at these days!
The transformer sized human chairs and tables was hilarious in of itself, so Prowl table flipping is just icing on the cake lmao
You finally finished twin cam and I already love them
That bit in the beginning was awesome ,especially the music. Love Chrono Trigger.
20:30 I know you don't need technical notes, but the dolly out here adds SO much to the production value. Very cool shot.
i always like to try new things haha
Well that was a year and 1/4 payoff to a little joke I did back in September 2020, and man was it worth it!
You got the Prowl table flip, yes!
love that set in the opening! Per-fect!
The regular release for Punch was just too expensive on the after market for me so getting Barricade and Punch together in one pack was the better deal in my opinion
I accidentally broke the barrel of the blaster of Barricade and for some odd reason, without the barrel it really looks like a futuristic pistol which is something I find rather cool than the ones with long barrels.
Siege Barricade just edges out the win from me over the Earthrise version, mostly because of the fantastic transparent purple everywhere.
Further, this whole vid was delightful. Thanks for taking the time on it!
This man just gets it. Commercial break animation..... legendary.
I really liked the spin transition between punch to counter punch
god i love the use of crono trigger music
SUCH A FUN REVIEW! Now I must go give my MP PROWL & BARRICADE some play time 😁👍
Awesome review as usual, thank you for mentioning my 3D design for the Punch/Counterpunch weapons
Your opening skits just keep getting better man! I love seeing your improvement over time
Woah the silent shoutout! Great video and worth the wait. The opening skit for this video is probably one of my favorites so far. Looking forward to the next video!
*punch reveals himself*
Punch: later pops!
Barricade: PUNCH!! Get back here!
*lupin the 3rd theme intensifies*

The mirror animation is INSANE!!!
Very GOOD job on the Animation, Lazy Evebrow!
ER Barry looks so damn good but he's a post-Siege carformer so all of that clear plastic is just a ticking time bomb.
Can not wait to see that customised bug bite in more detail
I freaking love prowl thank you so much for having him in this video
0:40 let's appreciate the mirroring
ah that walk cycle and table flip were SO smooth, good stuff
OK. This ending was the best thing ever.
Awesome video as always. Can't wait for the Rodimus/Hotrod review.
Apparently it was picked out in that color scheme because his Kre-O toy was called Nightbeat...which is odd since I don't know why his Kre-O toy was called Nightbeat in the first place. It doesn't even have the traditional Nightbeat colors. Just his.

Found a Punch figure loose at a local toy shop. Fun figure, would’ve preferred the POTP colors but this one is still fun.
And with punch you can swap the legs on the ball joints if you want the feet for both robot modes and just use the waist as a transformation joint, it also gives counterpunch yellow underpants
counterpants
Y'know, if they just retooled the Punch/Counterpunch mold, they could've made a better Point-blank for Legacy.

I only thought you were going for a Batman/Joker interrogation scene there but this is so much better!

I was waiting for the moment where you would lose it COMPLETELY over DEM BRAKEEESSSSSSSS.
Punch/Counterpunch's vehicle form reminds me of the live action Sideswipe...when he still had a roof
okay this is the first time the cold open has actually had me rolling on the floor,
well played lazy eyebrow
well played
I really like the punch/counter punch concept although yes the 2018 release is superior. Barricade looks alright to me. Any how, great review!
By the way, I love all the polish you put into the opening skit.
'your kids are in the next room and there a bit to quiet for that'
man knows his audience, and somehow managed to throw in a 'its 4PM....do you know where YOUR children are?' reference and i love it x3
Loved the Prowl table flip! I miss the original IDW Transformerverse. Anyway....a Pontiac Fiero as a supercar? In Yugoslavia maybe...😏
"Ahh... The old Good Cop, Bad Cop routine?"
"Not exactly."
*enter the Batmobile* **HEAD-SLAM!!!**
If i had both versions of P/CP, I'd probably swap the wheels head and hands from the old one and put them on the newer one, making my own definitive P/CP. But I'm also happy owning the older one
I agree. Silence is not always a good thing when you have kids. Loved the review
Fantastic review The Lazy Eyebrow!!!! :D I found out that if you hide the Decepticon logo in car mode the roof halves line up more securely and makes the roof look like it is not separated into two halves. :D Keep on being amazing.
Barricade and prowl feel like there brothers
I like barricade a whole lot but it was too hard to get him as an exclusive.
I have both Punch/Counterpunches, and I think it could work with his double agent nature in a similar way to Animated!Shockwave.
Good Primus! I burst out laughing when Prowl came in!
Great review really like that very ending animation.
Man love the chrono trigger OST in the intro
The toyhax label set for Barricade make him even better
That’s the best intro I’ve ever seen, god damn.
Haha, that opening skit was great!
Ah, Prowl and his unchecked emotional outbursts. LOVE IT!
Walking home and I see this new vid, I the excitement for watching it I feel right now is next level
Very cultured use of Chrono Trigger music
Let's hope they redo counterpunch/punch in the legacy line and a few other characters that didn't get the WFC action figure treatment
It’s odd, that in the skit; Barricade is the ‘Good Cop’ while Prowl is the Bad Cop in this event! Such a reversal.
Actually Eyebrow when I first saw Punch/Counterpunch, he reminded me of a BMW I8(and still does). though I do see the GM stylings you pointed out
Okay I have to say I absolutely love Punch/Counterpunch. Two bots in one? That sounds amazing. I fully agree his 2018 figure is better.
Some family friend was giving away their transformers toys and I found this Counterpunch figure in the box. Not sure where Barricade went, but apparently this is an Exclusive 2pack set from Amazon.
Not sure if it matters, but Punch’s roof will sit more flush if you fold down the panel with the Decepticon emblem.
interesting. good to know
I would definitely get both of them. They are awesome.
