This art may or may not be taken from the official Hasbro design sheet for the toy as the scan does include Hasbro copyright information. Interestingly the scan seems to be taken from a book page and contains head sketches of other Transformers and two fembots one of which somewhat resembles G1 Arcee and the other seems to share similarities with Transformers Animated Sari.

Not that I mind, as I prefer the more chunky designs, but he does stick out a bit for a ROTF.

All in all, they're making a Movie figure from an Animated mold. The image is from a San Diego Comic Con design book, and the heads are RotF Mindwipe, Brakedown and Skystalker, all figures that were revealed at SDCC.

And the chicks?

Oh, Lockdown. He's so dreamy.
I'm liking the look. I'm glad the spikes are retained in the design.

Hold the phone! There's a ROTF Mindwipe coming out?
You'll be telling me they'll be making Chromedome, Apeface and Snapdragon next!
But there's no way he'd be a Headmaster. And no way he'd turn into a bat, not in the ROTF line...
This could be the best news or the biggest disappointment of the year for me, TFwise.

He's not a headmaster, and he's a stealth fighter/bomber plane design... but his robot mode does still have some design elements (from what I've seen) that are bat-ish, personally I think he's a must have for me.Diem wrote:Wha-wha-wha-WHAT!?!Blurrz wrote:

Only the show was. And it wasn't "canceled", it was "completed".Mechastrike wrote:even if they designed a movie Lockdown, that can't change the fact that Transformers Animated was canceled.
The toyline, however, isn't dead. for new figures under the Animated label will be released later on in 2010.

Is it a bad thing that I care more about Lockdown than the fembots?

Yes, Mindwipe's jet mode can combine with another, scout-class figure, to make a larger jet. To me, it reminds me a bit of Smokescreen & Darkwing, from Generation 2...

While his alt-mode is as mentioned before a Stealthbomber they did somehow manage to let it look bat-like.
I bet he and his combiner partner will get a repaint into G2 Dreadwing.

I don't think we'll see that version of Lockdown in our shelves anytime soon.

I think this link to the actual toy, which was posted further up the page proves you wrong:

a deluxe should NEVER be as tall as a leader
i hope movie ratchet doesnt whine about the e m p (or ignorantly
named "blaster"on the animated lockdown box) being his
"what kinda cuffs you packin'?"
-lockdown

It's the same Lockdown mold, so it will be the same height.

If only those chin spikes were actually his mouth section, I would claim him as an instant buy. He would look as if he was wearing a small mouth sized breathing apparatus

.... it just seems to me hasbro is trying to milk the mold

No it isn't, Its a completely new mold. Its still going to be tall. but I don't think he'll be as tall as animated.
