Car and Driver: All New Transformers Movies Must Have an Evil Mustang, and Here’s the Latest

-Last week, we saw the new Bumblebee from the upcoming movie Transformers: The Last Knight. Now director Michael Bay has shared an image of the new Barricade, a Decepticon Ford Mustang slated to go toe-to-toe with the Autobots’ Bumblebee Camaro.

Barricade made its first big-screen appearance in the 2007 Transformers movie as a Saleen Mustang; this one isn’t a Saleen but it still looks plenty angry.

Barricade certainly looks more impressive than the new Bumblebee, but does that mean we’re rooting for the bad guy?
