Badass. That's Lockdown in one word. For a character that was born out of Transformers Animated they did a great job adult-a-fying him in the movie line while still keeping true to his Animated roots. This is a deception car done right. Satin charcoal gray paint job, rally striping in lime greens, covered in chrome and spikes. Lockdown's vehicle mode is a mix of best of late 60s to early 80s American muscle cars; Sloping rear ending in a spoiler, sexy curvy fenders, wedge front, low and sleek, looks fast just sitting in park. A bounty huntin' muscle machine!

His transformation is fairly easy as he basically just unfolds out from under himself, just a bit fiddly when it gets to his arms and shoulder pads. But he's chock full of articulation (3 joints in his neck alone must set a Transformer record) Lockdown is TALL. Tall as or taller than as most voyager class figures. The detailing on him is just awesome, a piston gimmick in his hook arm and turning camshafts in his legs. The piecemeal asymmetry in his upper body really adds to the rough and tumble bounty hunter characterization. And awesomely, the air-scoop/engine that mounts on his arm can also be interchanged with RoTF Movie Deluxe Ratchet's "EMP blast missile launcher" in an homage to the same characters/toys of Transformers Animated. (the weapon's peg is even the same shape of TfA Ratchet's war wound) His hook hand, regular hand and other pointy bits are soft rubber so nobody's gonna lose and eye. His malevolent orange eye piping glows with a spectacular wickedness. Look out Boba Fett there's a real bounty hunter in town now!

If you liked the Lockdown in TfA you owe it to yourself to pick this one up. Durable enough for kids and a great showpiece for adult collectors. He's a toy worth picking up, entirely a deal for the 10-15 bucks he's generally going for. Now, has anybody seen an Autobot medic around here lately...

And remember parents: If you don't like challenging your children, BUY AGE APPROPRIATE.

I will just say if you liked the animated version of Lockdown you will love this version 100% better.The movie version is a vast improvement in quality,detail,and transformation.Lockdown is a bounty hunter who is on a mission to take down autobot Ratchet.The detail in vechicle and robot mode is outstanding with the vechicle mode having a more sleek size plus appearence.Lockdown has a hook on one hand for slicing up whatever comes along and the engine attaches to his other arm for the firepower if he needs to take something down from a distance.The durability and poseability is an A+.The transformation level is advanced meaning if you have plenty of experience with transformers it is not difficult.If you are a parent buying for a child of 5-6 you might need to help a little,but honestly the process is pretty easy.Bottom line Lockdown is a high quality,well-made,10 out of 10 figure.Also the hook folds easily into place underneath when he is in vechicle mode.I highly recommend Lockdown to all transformer fans out there.Transformers Rule.

Lockdown is big fun and a little breakable.His hunter car is a very spiky car and detailed. Only thing is that it rolls on the ground but like I said detiled. Robot mode is big as human alliance Bumble Bee and The Fallen.That's pretty big.You can lift his head up and down but one thing I do not like about Lockdown is his arms.They pop off too much but do it carefuley and they won't.Buy it.And this is jean's son again.

My nephew is a very young, intelligent boy who likes all Transformers--the movies & all the toys. I could not find this one anywhere. I was very glad that Amazon. com had all the toys as well as all the movies. I deciced on this toy because of name. Thanks for all you do for you customers, Ms. Stephens

These transformers were bought as Christmas Presents.
The children were overjoyed at receiving them. They
gave rave reviews of their performance.

This is an impressive toy. The details put into the mold are fantastic, and the transformation sequence is relatively intuitive. My only gripe is that the hook and spikes on the tires are made of rubber instead of hard plastic.
