I own one of these, and it is fantastic. Easily one of the best Deluxe Transformers ever made. It's especially neat how his vehicle mode is the size of a regular deluxe, but his 'bot mode is taller than Movie Voyager Starscream. And as for the "cartoony" look, it gives Lockdown personality, something you won't find in many other Transformers figures.

This'll be a very popular toy. Vehicle mode is fantastic, and while I'm disappointed with bot mode's proportions, he's still pretty cool and definitely a must-have.

Oh man, I just realized what he reminds me of. He's a bounty hunter with no real loyalties and a hook on his right wrist. He's the Main Man himself, Lobo! That explains why I want to paint him black & white!

dude, this guy is gonna be badass!..... I've been gone for almost a month from this site, just wondering, when is the animated line coming out? spring 08 or fall 08? I heard that there might be a delay from spring but that's it.

Interesting how the folks who don't like Animated consider this the best mold, whereas I like everything from Animated, just this one least. I'll get it anyway, though. I hadn't quite realized his height in 'bot mode. That'll be fun to display.

ARGH! Splendid!

How can you have nostalgia for something that hasn't been released?

I'm getting mixed messages from you.

The only thing that annoys me about the toy is the BIO on the back of the box.

"Lockdown could care less..." ??? WTH?

It should say "Lockdown couldn't care less...". Stupid Americans and their butchering of the English language.

What's wrong with this post? Let me count the ways...

1.) You have a bad attitude.
2.) Your first post, you're attacking an entire country.
3.) You haven't added anything to the thread, positive or negative review of the figure, etc.

You're critical, and you're a jerk.

We don't need more people like you here.

He is right tho, the phrase is "Couldn't care less' and is often changed (mostly by Americans) to the erroneous phrase 'could care less'. I wouldn't accuse all Americans of being stupid, or butchering the English laguage but in this particular example the American way just doesn't make any sense in the context it is used. If Lockdown could care less that that infers he cares a certain amount about Megatrons and his plans, which clearly isn't what the bio is attempting to communicate.

A bounty hunter? Hmm, very intriguing .

I'm looking more foward to the Animated premeire every day .

Not my first post. Had to re-register due to someone "stealing" my details.

I'm entitled to my opinion, just like you.

Change of plans. HE is the guy i'm getting. how awesoe he looks! i would've never thought that he actually transforms into that car! and then i find out that it is very simple. ;o can't wait for this one!

He seems to be quite decent, lots of extras, I might pic him up.

not too sure if I'll be getting him, but I'm definitely getting a fair bit of the Animated line. Most looking forward to the Decepticons, actually, especially Starscream, Blackarachnia and Blitzwing. Not to say Lockdown isn't good, but he's making me like this series more and more!

tformers has just done their review on him

I'm getting html in the first post and not a clickable link... and if I try to C&P the link from a "quote" of the first post, I get a 404 all the way until I get to the root domain, which has nothing clickable on it...
