Once a simple

Decepticon Vechicon drone, He longed for something greater in life. Now at this time Optimus Prime, now Orion Pax do to memory lost, was stuck serving Megatron on the Decepticon war ship. This Drone grew more and more distance from the Decepticon way as he listen to Orion pax. Once Orion realize that he was in fact Optimus prime, he escape through the ground bridge, got his memories back from jack and the story goes on from there. Well Optimus have help escaping, and it was this drone that turned on his fellow decepticons. When the beaten Megatron return to the warship, he corner this drone, and from a single blast from his cannon he destroyed the drone. For it was this drone job to keep Orion pax lockdown. Fortunately the drone survive and Knockout rebuilt him the best he could, leave the drone with a hooked hand, and unmasked. At moment the drone was no longer a simple Decepticon drone, but Lockdown the

Autobot mercenary.

I was going to attack you for having dared to defile Steve.

But the result is absolutely stunning, well done! :APPLAUSE:

Very nicely done! I never pegged Steve for a possible Lockdown repaint, but it works so well! :APPLAUSE:

The usual questions: what brand and shade of green is that? And what medium? Airbrush, spray can or (gasp!) hand painted?

One thing though; why are some of the pics upside down?

It was all hand painted
folk flrt acrylic metallic silver sterling,
The green base coat was fresh foliage, old ivy mix with plain yellow.
Then a slight water down clear coat using testors paint to seal in the color.
I use a toothpick and a Princeton 3/0 brush.

And some pictures are upside down? On my laptop, and iPad they come out normal.
Again thank you so much

Except for the last one, they're all either on their side or upside down!

I was almost certain you used an airbrush. That's a very good paint job, considering you hand painted it!

Dude, that is badass. I've half a mind to pick up a vehicon and try something like that. It's absolutely stunning, what you've done with the colors. The green works so well!

:APPLAUSE:

Question: did the mufflers and wheel spikes come from the other Lockdowns or somewhere else?

Yes I did, also I think I fix the pictures.

Sorry to bring up an old post but Man, I love this!! Lockdown is one of my favorite characters (Lance Henriksen's voice is awesome) and I would just love if this was a reality. Alas. It will never be...but I will add it to my own fanon.
