Mine will climb trees and whisper "Over here, over here. Turn around, turn around. Any time."

His greatest enemy? Snow.

I don't know about that, but to escape him you must cover yourself in mud.

Is that a really weird reference to the Predator Movie starring California's fearless Governator?

Anyway, there just something about those white sections that really bugs me.

Still a translucent TF is always something that makes any TF fan's mouth water.
I'll likely pick him up when he comes out.

Hope they change the white to clear. Then maybe...

I like the concept it fits with the character. The bot modes good, but those white/gray panels on the hood really stick out like a sore thumb. Wonder why those can't he translucent to?

Wow what a piece of crap.

I must say I never understood the fascination with translucent figures. They always look cheap and crap to me to be honest. I particularly hate when they make a part of a toy translucent, like on the TFCC figures (and I think they did it to the weapons on movie Brawl).

Anyway, I'm curious... what's the attraction? Is it just that some people like the look or is there more to it?

I'm not a big fan of translucent figures, with two notable exceptions: a clear version of Mirage (why are we STILL waiting for what seems such an obvious choice, and no the awful Botcon one doesn't count) and ghost Starscream. That said, I can kinda buy the idea that Lockdown would have a cloaking device and that this figure represents it.

I like Animated Lockdown.
But I like this version of him less each time I see it.
Translucent figures can look pretty good when they're done right, but that's... just... not.
