New Galleries: Age of Extinction Generations Lockdown and Movie Advanced AD26 Lockdown

This is one ugly figure I won't be getting. The car is cool, but the face is just ugly. Saw it at target a few times, wanted to get him but ended up putting it back. Maybe a leader class with a helmet face...even then I will leave as car mode. Such a waste of licensing product

Is it a worthwhile addition to the dinocast?

I really like Voyager Class Slog, especially in dinosaur mode which is considerably (and surprisingly) larger than G1 Sludge. The robot mode is OK. It looks pretty cool if you are into the movie aesthetics. There's something weird with his back/mid section where it plugs in where it seems to come undone fairly easily. Other than that, the only issue I really have with it is that the wrists don't turn. He comes with two giant lances but he is a challenge to pose with the lances unfortunately. I ended up liking it best with the lances attached to his upper back behind his head and using the shoulder blasters like hand guns.

Deluxe Lockdown is pretty good, but he's so small. He actually scales better in both modes, IMHO, with the One-Step Autobot cars (Bee, Drift, Crosshairs) than the Deluxes.

Slog looks like fun, wasn't going to buy him but that pic of him indino mode with one foreleg up and ready to stomp just sold me.

Ryan, in the Slog gallery (super thorough, BTW) there a couple shots of a plastic tub full of AoE toys, what's that?

Slog is a pass, and while Drift looks cool (his swords are especially forged in kickassery), I am in no need for him. It was a missed opportunity to just heavily modify Generations Springer. He may had been out of scale with the rest of the Autobots, but it would've been the best solution.

So you want to see a helicopter with Bugatti parts all over the place?

One feature on hasbro that is not on takara, the split lamborghini "logo" is painted in gold on the hasbro lockdown chest, and there is some more silver detailing in the shins. Takara painted eyes kind of look bad

lockdown looks pretty good but that head sculpt is terrible, whoever though making him look like destro was an idiot. Would rather have the visor mask thing like the 1 step & flip ones have or they couldve stopped being cheap & lazy for a second & gave him a flip down visor. Not sure if id pick him up at full price but on sale i would, right now im waiting for the walmart excpusive 2 packs & maybe rattrap.

That's not to say I think the AoE figure is bad - just saying.

I seem to remember Animated Lockdown being Voyager height...unfortunately,mine is currently packed away to verify. I just remember him being so cool AND tall I felt like he was a great toy for the $$$

now THAT needs to be in the cloud series!

That would be cool in the cloud series, but I don't think it would have worked for AOE. I'll take Generations Drift like that however instead of the silly white guy we've been getting.

It also works for him, too.
