In the 2007 [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]], Barricade is a [[Decepticon]] scout who transforms into a [[Saleen S281|Saleen S281E]] [[police car]], making him similar in appearance to the ''Generation 1'' [[Autobot]] [[Prowl (Transformers)|Prowl]], who was actually in the first draft of the movie treatment before the writers thought that a Decepticon police car would be a better idea. He appears to be the rival of Bumblebee, standing at nearly the same height. He is a hunter/scout of the Decepticons, choosing his vehicle mode to easily hide among the humans as a symbol of authority. His persona appears to be that of the cliché "bad cop", as he fiercely interrogates [[Witwicky family#Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]] once he locates him. He mainly elongates his arms to reveal spinning spikes known as the blade wheels in his hands and uses them as close-combat striking weapons. He also has a long chain with a wheel on the end that reveals a set of cybertanium blades which form a large blade wheel. In Dark of The Moon, he wields what looks to be a 50&amp;nbsp;mm chain gun. When in vehicle mode, he can simulate the appearance of a human driver, the same holographic model (referred to as "Mustache Man" on-set and in the credits) that "pilots" [[Blackout (Transformers)#Transformers|Blackout]] and [[Starscream]].
