Robot Mode
I find the chest a bit big on this mould, but somehow it kinda suits the character. Colours are a bit washed out but very faithful for the most part to the original Ironfist. Good that they redid the headsculpt as Swindles bonce would not have looked appropriate there. Well proportioned, ok articulation.
Edit: I've since realized that the head is actually that of Generations FOC Roadbuster




Vehicle Mode
Not as futuristic as the Botcon Fisitron from a few years ago, and not as top heavy as the G1/2 Ironfist - he sits somewhere in between and it doesn’t seem too bad a fit for the character. They definitely needed a vehicle with at least one gun on top – more would have been better.






Transformation
Fairly simple, easy to do without the instructions, even if you have not encountered the mould before.

Overall
It’s odd that considering FOC Swindle felt so cheaply made that Fisitron actually feels more sturdy that TFSS Barricade, the materials seem to be of better quality. It’s a nice representation of a character that is becoming less obscure as time goes on and a welcome addition to the collection. Good bio card too. If not part of the TFSS you may want to wait until this figure inevitably ends up on BBTS and then has its price dropped after a year
