Yep. I've heard that in the novelization of the movie that Prime killed Barricade too, but since it wasn't in the movie I figure it didn't happen. Maybe there will be a deleted scene of that on the dvd, but I'm hoping Barricade comes back.
Originally, Blackout was called "Soundwave" and that's why he was able to launch Skorponok. But they figured they'd be better off with a whole new name for that character and save Soundwave for later. Don't look for him to be a mini-cassete player though, they insist on having the robots transform into something of a similar size.
Oh, and Paramount set a release date for "Transformers 2" today, look for it on June 26th, 2009.
