Seibertron.com member astrobard found a drawing of the upcoming Transformers Revenge of the Fallen deluxe Lockdown figure.

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.

This may be one of the only Movie figures I buy...

It doesn't look like a Movie/ROTF design at all... I'd sooner classify this as Universe to be honest.

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.

Why do birds suddenly appear...every time you are near?

Oh, Lockdown. He's so dreamy.

I'm liking the look. I'm glad the spikes are retained in the design.

I'm definitely getting this. His face sculpt is SO badass. He'll look great standing next to his animated counterpart. Still, what a random choice to remake for the movie line. Is Lockdown really that popular? He had like 3 repaints and 2 activator toys already.

Wha-wha-wha-WHAT!?!

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.

That Lockdown art is awesome, I can't wait for better pics of the figure

He looks a lot like animated lockdown. I hate animated lockdown.

Concerning Movie Mindwipe, didn't hasbro say he'd be able to combine with one of the scout figures? I can't remember the name of the figure, but it was a little odd shaped jet. Maybe that's a reference to his headmaster origins.

even if they designed a movie Lockdown, that can't change the fact that Transformers Animated was canceled. :sad:

Only the show was. And it wasn't "canceled", it was "completed".

The toyline, however, isn't dead. for new figures under the Animated label will be released later on in 2010.

Hot

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...

Cool, I want to see more of that Autobot Sari. And I wonder what's with the big headed Arcee. :-?

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.

Awesome cant wait. Glad to see Lockdowns coming back. Id like to know why all the non movie bots look awesome and the ones in the movie look like walking piles of scrap......oh yeah thats cause the non movie bots are made by hasbro not bay.

That looks like well done fan art, but nothing else. The manga-style Arcees gives it away.

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:

i just hope this lockdown isnt freakishly tall

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.

Until i see his head in person, in the back of his packaging, I'll probably pass on him. I might sound crazy when i say this, but currently ROTF lockdown is the only figure that i have ever known that i would rather see him in sketch art, than as a figure...even though i can slightly see that the sketch and SDCC toy image look alike.
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

not feeling it.... i think the animated line is okay.... but i dont think the mold fits in well to be considered rotf.

.... 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.
