They are a lot weirder than a crusher or a mechanical man. Those are fighting units. Even a watcher or monolith /does/ something. What you're proposing is just a big lump of elephant bait. Why would the elephant go attacking that? Why would soliders? Why wouldn't they just go around it? A barricade is not a valid unit. It's the sort of thing you might get in a mod, but no chance it will ever be in the vanilla game.
