Seriously That shot of him in his battle visor going for Optimus that serves as the cover for his theme is amazing I loved it. You said it perfectly, it's the stupidest and greatest thing ever
It's not stupid at all. The original Lockdown liked to enhance and modify his body with weapons and other various gadgets. It makes sense for him to have a gun in his head.
@@m.e.c.hn.e.s.t4757 but his face turns into a gun. that is inherently stupid, as cool as it ended up looking. imagine you get angry at someone and suddenly your face turns into a sniper rifle. it’s goofy lol
Out of all the characters in the bayverse,lockdown was the most accurate to his original characterzition besides jazz and optimus,however his Aoe design is actually fitting if you think about it
He is also one of my favourite TF characters also, but he isn’t really affiliated with the Cons. Sure he teams up with them and usually is one on his toys but that’s pretty much inaccurate to his character, I feel like if Hasbro ever release future toys of him then they should have his faction as bounty hunter/mercenary!
I would've liked it if one of the quotes said "YOU BRING SHAME UPON US ALL" I do like AOE lockdown but he's just Black and grey, like the protofoms except he has a different body frame, would it kill them to add a bit of green
I honestly really like his movie appearance. I really like how they had him keep his hook but in a way that just works more. I really like the visor, scope, and sniper rifle head Transformations. I swear, the only way it could've been perfect is if he had black and white makeup. And for his vehicle mode to have green windows like the visor on his mask.
You know what we need? A ranking of all the Transformers: Universe character designs, old and originals alike. My personal favorite would be Contagion, the con who got cancelled and replaced but has a full concept of design.
Yeah, the ROTF design is peak Lockdown, killer car mode, tall as hell robot mode, super menacing aesthetic, it has the hook, the arms carry the asymmetry, it prominently shows the car parts, 15/10 design.
Favorite is easily finalized Animated. I also quite like early concept Animated, Transformers Adventure, Earth Wars, Cyberverse, Iron Factory car mode only, and Peanuttie.
I like the IDW Lockdown design, It takes most of lockdown’s recognisable elements from his Animated design, but more streamlined, fitting in better with the more standard and typical transformers design aesthetic, which makes him feel more at home in the franchise
Honestly, the earth wars and cyberverse designs don't work as lockdown for me, don't get me wrong, they're good designs, but they feel less like lockdown and more like a generic decepticon goon, I prefer the more skeletal designs, plus cyberverse making lockdown more comedic doesn't sir right with me
Everyone says Construct Bots are BIONICLE rip offs but they have more in common with Neo:Shifters. Crappy copy/paste robots with flimsy plastic and crappy alt modes.
The only things I don't like from AOE Lockdown designs are his face and the fact that he looks too lean (but that's a problem as a whole with the AOE designs).
used to have the rotf lockdown and it is such an exquisite design S tier for sure, to me his left shoulder always seemed like a mechanical cape of some sort
ROTF/idw Lockdown is my favorite,i always want to get that toy but never has the chance(only got Axor the remold one) ,because is so valuable second market prices always high,aslo it really hard to found now days,maybe one day i will hurt it down.
My least favorite live action transformer design has always been Age of Extinction Lockdown for 2 main reasons 1. It doesnt look like Lockdown at all if I knew nothing about the movie and you asked me who it was I would have no idea or I might guess that its a really shitty Megatron design and 2. It doesnt look like it turns into a car it just looks like a big robot im impressed they managed to make the toy Transform. Its just a really ugly design honestly and thats even compared to the live action Decepticon designs
My main problem with him is the lack of carness in the film. He barely looks like a lambo in robot form. If they had given him 2 giant lambo grills on his chest and gave him the visor for a face instead of a humanoid face id have rated it one of the best designs in the bayverse
I like Lockdown in AOE because he is a soulless, emotionless, mercenary who doesn’t care about what he’s doing unless he gets a reward out of it. He sees Autobots and Decepticons as inferior Cybertronians and mocks their war. His skull-like head and overall body shape give you the feeling he is dangerous. Not like Megatron where he looks like a monster
imo i really like the humanoidness of AOE lockdown. If only he was the only one that was given a human-like design, that would've been EVEN better. It would separate him from autobots and decepticons - an actual robot-looking transformers, and then there would be lockdown - neither of both, and has a whole different design with a whole different aestethic. if only.
i still think that lockdown was a missed oportunity for transformers earthrise with him being possibly the leader of the mercenary faction. Plus, if you add the gimmicks from both earthrise and siege he would make a nice customizable figure with the weaponizers acting as his additional blasters or slammer's treads from kingdom could double as lockdown's chainsaw blade/arm. Another reason i think he was a missed opportunity for earthrise that i hope may get fixed with legacy is that he gets updated articulation.
When I think of Lockdown I think of a streamlined Frankenstein hook hand guy. ROTF Lockdown was my favorite Lockdown designs I mean AOE, Lockdown look unrecognizable the only thing that made him Lockdown was his knack for trophies and his retractable hook hand on his right arm
Love how the other dude instantly lost his credibility when he put TFA Lockdown in the 2nd tier 😂 Edit: But then he gained it back after putting the AOE in S tier
Animated Lockdown for sure takes the spot as the best design of the character ever! His personality was equally as cool with him taking other bot’s mods for himself.
If we ever do get another Marvel crossover with the Transformers, (Highly doubtful), They need to have a Mexican Standoff with Death's Head, Lockdown and maybe Wildwheel. Also, I would LOVE to see a return of Animated Lockdown in more modern stuff. With anything nowadays, Bots and Cons tend to be more G1 inspired, which while I don't have a problem with most of the time, LD kind of lost his classic silhouette. (The long-hunched neck, the slimness of the character, and even his gimmick where he uses parts of other Bots has been sadly lost for awhile.)
I never liked the fact that AOE made him a Lamborghini Aventador. I've always imagined him as a Dodge Challenger, probably the SRT Hellcat or a Demon variant. My other ideas for an alt-mode would be a Lincoln Continental Mk VI or a 4th Generation Ford Galexie. Both of those cars also seem extremely aggressive.
