He looks awfully generic and totally uninteresting. Yawn.....he's a big fat pass. Emphasis on fat. I like Animated Lockdown way better.

Ha, Animated Lockdown is one of the best transformer toys out there, I doubt any toy from this line will beat it.

And I was just saying in the staff emails that if Lockdown were any good, I'd get him. And what do I see when I first log in? This guy.

He looks... okay. His torso looks a little too muscular, but other than that, I'm sure he'll turn out alright. Though, if there's one thing he must have, it's this: weapon-face or bust! [-(

I'm sure some third party company (I'm looking at you, UFO and Fans Want It!) will make a hook accessory for Lockdown. It's almost precedence that it must happen.

Yeah... no. He's certainly not one of the best. There are much better figures out there. >:oP

In terms of design at that price point? If you dont mind sharing with me who those better figures are, I am all ears.

I do see where the toy is getting its inspiration but the result is a much wider figure. However, I will say that Human Alliance Jazz always looked wider in his photos and actually resulted to be sleeker in the end with a result similar to the one found in the first film.

Bought me some Scorn, Slug, and Crosshairs.

Scorn is nice. Good figure, fun transformation. I'm fearful that paint on his tail will get gooey at some point.

Slug is pretty good too. He's all the better when you finally get those dino arms to lock into place in robot mode.

Crosshairs is one half of a future Boondocks Saints Transformers edition duo. TBH, I think he's my Classics G2 Drench. Now where are my G2 Autobot stickers...

I also got Leader Gridlock. He's better than you say he is, so shut it.

That's my story morning glory.

Glad I grabbed the figures online, because none of the stores around me did much stocking. Even the region's Targets are bone dry empty. It's ridiculous.

I agree with all of the above, I might add.

I'm not sure why anyone would call this figure anything other than what it is: Lockdown. This is what he looks like in the film, he's most likely mistransformed here, plus what other TF line could he fit in and have a name? Seriously.

It's Lockdown. That's all there is to it. Rather than all of these complaints, I'd rather you guys and gals just didn't buy him and get over it.

More for people like me. People who appreciate these figures for being the awesomesauce that they are. And oh, are they ever.

well.. duh lol.

but right now targets are having a difficult time practically giving away their beast hunters left overs, which is leaving no room for anything new.. now.. TRU seems to be on the ball. .. once target and walmart get around to stocking their shelves, most people will have already picked up the figures that they want, which in turn will leave target with the same problem.. not being able to sell stuff.

it's a shame, i really like target. but they're dragging their heels.

My thoughts exactly. As cool as Lockdown looks in the movie, there's nothing that shows what he transforms into. No visible car parts whatsoever. To be honest, the only one I see in AOE that shows vehicle parts in there robot mode is Bumble Been in his 67' camaro mode.

Back on the topic of Deluxe Lockdown, its a shame that his toy figure doesn't match his movie version. On the plus side the vehicle mode looks great. Hopefully we'll get a leader class later this year that will give off a bit more detail.

The big problem with this line for the toys is the lack of vehicle part on their robots modes. If there is no vehicle parts in their robot modes gets really tough to replicate it with perfection in a toy.
