Disliked by fellow Decepticons. In insect mode, can shoot non-stop explosive charges from gun mounts, high energy photons from antenna. Flies 15 mph with 400 mile range. Has powerful sonic rifle in robot mode.

Barrage was some kind of beetle, that much was clear. The giant reindeer horn on his nose looked cool, but didn't hide the fact that the insect looked, well... obese. This combined with his no-cartoon status (he and the other "deluxe Insecticons" were all Bandai-made and suffered the same fate as Jetfire) to make him one of the least-demanded Decepticons of all time.

In a 15 touch bout, if the scores are equal after all three periods of fencing, a one minute barrage will usually be held after determining priority.
