[[Image:OilSlickAnimated.jpg|right|thumb|400px|1000 years in the future, his head sits next to [[Leonard Nimoy]]'s in the Head Museum.]]

'''Oil Slick''''s fighting style is based on vehicular combat—meaning he tries to destroy the [[Autobot]]s while they're still in [[Alternate mode|vehicle mode]], knowing that if they're smashed up on the outside, they're smashed up on the inside. Beyond this, Oil Slick is a talented chemist specializing in weaponized compounds, such as the [[Reverse Evolution virus]] or [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]]. He is, in his own words, "slagging good" though at times too eager in trying out new concoctions. Among his arsenal are a dizzying array of chemical weapons that will weaken his opponents both physically and mentally—magnifying his prey's personal fears to dissolve their will while his acids dissolve their bodies—at which point Oil Slick is ready to trash them. His robot mode features a retractable dome to protect his pretty face from what he unleashes.

In addition to his vehicular combat abilities, Oil Slick is skilled in [[Circuit-Su]], having trained with [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]].

''During the Great Wars, Oil Slick led an assault on the [[Hydrax Plateau]], using his new "[[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]]" cyber-oxidant chemical weapon on Autobot and Decepticon alike. However, he hadn't adjusted for wind shifts, and ended up getting a dose of it himself.''

''Severely weakened, he was found by the Autobot medic [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], who was looking for survivors of the attack. Ratchet's conscience wouldn't let him leave a life that could be saved, even that of a Decepticon. After trading some verbal barbs with Ratchet and appealing to his scientific nature, Oil Slick convinced the Autobot to use his repair tools with the chemicals Slick had stored away to create a batch of antidote. Under Oil Slick's instructions, Ratchet successfully created a batch of the cure... and as soon as it was applied, Oil Slick immediately hit Ratchet with a dose of Cosmic Rust and stole the remaining antidote. Gloating, Oil Slick revealed that the chemical weapon was his doing all along, and that the lives of the Decepticons who also fell to it were meaningless to him.''

''His overconfidence got the better of him, though, as he failed to notice that Ratchet had used his magnetism ability to steal the antidote ''back'' as Oil Slick drove away... enough to cure Ratchet and still have some left over for the Autobot scientists to analyze and replicate, nullifying the threat of Cosmic Rust.'' {{storylink|'Bots of Science}}

Countless years later, after the war had been decided in the Autobots' favor, Oil Slick was part of [[Strika (Animated)|Strika]]'s [[Team Chaar]] band of Decepticons. Called out of hiding by Megatron to storm a [[Space Bridge]] node, his group of Decepticons battled a team of Autobots led by [[Rodimus Prime (Animated)|Rodimus Prime]]. Oil Slick stopped Ironhide and Brawn in their tracks with ''actual'' oil slicks before encountering Rodimus himself. Dismissing Rodimus Prime's skills and throwing down a container of Cosmic Rust, Oil Slick quickly disposed of him. Team Chaar was still near the hub when the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]]'s ship approached, but Oil Slick and the others were ordered elsewhere. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

*'''Oil Slick''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TA-42'''
**''Accessories'': Chain-weapon canister, storage canister

:Oil Slick transforms into a low-riding motorcycle. A motorcycle with ''a friggin' goat skull''. How Metal. One of the barrels strapped to his cycle mode splits open to become a hand-held flail weapon using a short, white plastic chain, as opposed to the longer, real metal one seen in the [[:Image:Animated olislick both mode1.JPG|promotional photos]]. The ends of the barrel which anchor the chain can pop off the ends of the body for other swing-at-enemies options. However, this barrel does not click together very well when closed, and so can fall open easily. The other barrel is actually a canister with a flip-open top that can contain [[Water|rare chemical liquids]]. He has a third "[[Attack mode|Vehicle Attack Mode]]" which basically consists of him doing a push-up on his wheels.

:According to designer [[Eric Siebenaler]], one of the original ideas for Oil Slick was for his bubble dome and his chemical canister to contain a sort of green slime. This idea was dropped over concerns that it would leak during transportation, and when [[Hasbro]] investigated just having plain water in his dome, they decided against this due to the fact that the quality and safety of water used in [[China]] could not be guaranteed. <ref>[http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=2667&page=2 Eric Siebenaler meets Australian fans in Sydney]</ref>

:A redeco shown at BotCon 2009 and leaked via Walmart stock photos, this Oil Slick redeco seems to have been made to make his colors more like that of his show model, while still retaining an Earth mode. An oddity in the stock photo is the use of the longer, metal chain, as opposed to the short plastic one used in the original.

[[Image:TFAni-OilSlickArt.jpg|right|300px|thumb|This is how he looks without makeup.]]

*At [[BotCon 2008]], it was revealed that Oil Slick was an original [[Eric Siebenaler]] design that was never intended to be in the show, but upon finding out about it, the ''Animated'' cartoon crew said they would have worked him in had they been told about it. As such, Oil Slick was given a highlight story in [[The Arrival issue 3|''The Arrival'' #3]]. He has also had an [[Character model|animation model]] made by [[Irineo Maramba]] and was made a member of [[Strika (Animated)|Strika]]'s [[Team Chaar|team]] for the cartoon. <ref>[http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/2008/12/marty-isenberg-interview.html#c5901666316822122243 ''Animated'' Lead Character Designer Derrick J.

*Oil Slick's odd four-wheeled cycle design is borrowed from the [http://www.allpar.com/cars/concepts/tomahawk.html Dodge Tomahawk] concept motorcycle. This implies that he goes ''really damn fast''.

*Due to the sculpt of his fingers and the rubbery materials used, he is the first and only Transformer who can intertwine his fingers in a menacing way.

*Although [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] is responsible for the current state of Ratchet's broken forehead chevron, Oil Slick actually did it before him, courtesy of a wicked roundhouse kick. Judging by the pre-existing crack on the chevron, it had already been broken at least once before that. Apparently Ratchet decided the third time's a charm.

*How exactly he could train with Prowl in the art of Circuit-Su is questionable, because [[Yoketron (Animated)|Yoketron]] never trained a Decepticon before in his [[Cyber-Ninja Dojo|his Dojo]]...unless he once was an Autobot.

*Oil Slick's comic appearance is apparently an amalgam of his box art and cartoon appearance; he has the deep gold and green coloration of his toy, but the arms, head, and glowing dome of his cartoon. The cover art can be deceiving, oh yes...

--[[user:invisiblemoose|invisiblemoose]] 9:41, 3 December 2007 (NZ)

:Please see [[Help:Coming soon]]. Those toys aren't supposed to be released yet, so information gleamed from auctions of possibly-stolen copies of them should not be added to Teletraan I. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 21:03, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

==Something seems odd here==
I just recently got a Lockdown figure from a Q102 Raffle back during Botcon, and I just got him all transformed when I noticed that 3/4 of his limbs are either colored wrong or lacking paint when compared to the *VERY* show accurate pic of him on the back of his card. Is this normal? [[User:AutobotFreak643|AutobotFreak643]] 20:41, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
P.S. He also doesn't have a rubsign after all on the toy, but the box shows it on the car roof in all of G1 rubsign glory.

==image captions==
So, who's for making all his captions Bishop quotes? if the picture allows for it of course...--[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 16:22, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
:Death's Head quotes would seem more appropriate, yes?{{unsigned|72.138.15.186}}

===Deaths Head homage?===
He does appere a homage to Deaths Head, his hand changes into weaponery and his to has the "cleached teath look to it. worth metioning? [[User:Editoroflife|Editoroflife]] 08:29, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

== New toy image ==

It's from Transformers.com, so it's official. [[User:BUMBLEBEE|The 'Bee :)]] 16:32, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

==EMP generator==

I just saw that the EMP generator can be removed from lockdown's arm with a simple peg in the same shape of ratchet's scar, so i'm almost sure that it can be atatched to ratchet.--[[User:Grand-majin|Grand-majin]] 16:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Yay! :D [[User:BUMBLEBEE|The 'Bee :)]] 15:54, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
:Yep,you can see it on peaugh's youtube channel,no direct linking though since we're not "allowed" to know this. [[User:Rhinox555|Decepticon Rhinox]] 13:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
::No, we're allowed to post stuff about the toys now. They've been officially released to stores in Cincinnati. This isn't a leak this time, they're a test-market.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 15:14, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Wrong,Ratchet is wave 2,so he has not been released to test market yet. So we're still not "allowed" to know things about ratchet's toy. [[User:Rhinox555|Decepticon Rhinox]] 10:54, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
::::Um, wave 2 has been released. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 11:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::Wow,so it's not just a wave of testmarketing anymore. That's [[Hasbro|some crazy shit]]. [[User:Rhinox555|Decepticon Rhinox]] 16:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

==Size==

Why is the size changed from leader to voyager? next to my movie ratchet, lockdown is a head taller, so it schould be changed to "almost as big as a leader class toy" or it schould be changed to "bigger then a voyager class toy."
:It is being sold at Voyager class. Being larger than ''another'' Voyager by a head does not make it a different size class.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 15:52, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
:: Was it not deluxe class?--[[User:Grand-majin|Grand-majin]] 15:56, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
::: Then why are you claiming the size was changed from leader to voyager? If you're just talking about the line that says he's "nearly as big as a voyager" that still puts him a long way from a leader-class as he's only ''taller'' not ''bigger''.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 16:02, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
:::: Oh, then i said it wrong, sorry. i just wanted to note that for a deluxe class toy, that he's bigger then most voyager class toys, putting him closer to the size of a leader class toy.--[[User:Grand-majin|Grand-majin]] 16:14, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::No, he's ''taller'' than many Voyager class toys. Height has nothing to do with it. Size classes are determined by two main things: complexity and mass. That's why Cybertron Metroplex is a Leader instead of a Supreme and Animated Bulkhead is a Voyager instead of a Deluxe. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 16:19, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::There's a big size gulf between voyagers and leaders, due to the omitted ultra class.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 16:17, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
::::: I don't know how tall the animated toyline leader class toys are, so i compared him to movie optimus prime, he's about a head smaller. I just want it to be noted that for a deluxe, he has an impressive size.(and excuse me wen i mix bigger and taller, i mix those up often.)--[[User:Grand-majin|Grand-majin]] 16:27, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::: Which Movie Prime? If it's the one where the truck nose forms a backpack and the robot chest windows are ''not'' the truck mode windows, you've got the Voyager Prime. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 16:59, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::Considering the context of the discussion, I'm guessing Grand-majin means the Leader-class Movie Prime, especially since he says Lockdown's taller than Movie Ratchet.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 17:05, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::: yeah, i was talking about the leader class prime.--[[User:Grandmajin|Grand-majin]] 17:45, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

==Hook arm==
Since the hook arm is detachable and dosent match his colours scheem, is anyone thinking that this might just be like the EMP generator, can also go on annother toy, i think maybe, oil slick? Maybe we're gona get various toys later on with parts the detach and can be added to Lockdown, his chainsaw arm, ect? [[User:Editoroflife|Editoroflife]] 02:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
::Being a hook, it could be a piece for one of the constructicons or Oil Slick( same color pattern)
The hook's color scheme is different to make it match up well in car mode,it detaches because it's a detachable weapon,plus he appears that way in flashbacks so you'll have his cybertron mode and earth mode in one toy. [[User:Rhinox555|Decepticon Rhinox]] 13:57, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
: The hook attachment's yellow is entirely hidden in car mode. It has yellow trim on the revealed robot parts because that's what color his hook arm is on his character model. No other reason. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 14:35, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

==Decepticon?==
He Mentioned he wasn't one of them. Why do you Identified as a decepticon. [[User:Black rhino ranger|Black rhino ranger]] 14:26, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
:Your approach to capitalization is refreshing.
:Anyway, Hasbro identifies him as a Decepticon. [[User:JW|JW]] 14:35, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, that's how Hasbro identifies him, but in show, he only works with the Decepticons because "they pay on time, and allow him the upgrades he wants". At least that's what the article says.--[[User:AWT88|AWT88]] 15:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes, we know. But rather like Gnaw the Sharkticon, who technically was on the Quintessons' side, he's marketed as a Decepticon, and so is listed as such. Lockdown's article specifically says he's a Decepticon "by necessity," indicating he isn't part of the faction in the usual sense.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 15:41, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Personally I'm quite tempted to see if I can't fit a rubsign over his tampographed faction symbol when I get him. To fit the cartoon.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 15:45, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Not a bad idea. Anyone know if the reprolabels rubsigns are actually rub-able?[[User:Rhinox555|Decepticon Rhinox]] 10:57, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
:Its interesting to note that Lockdown doesn't identify as a Decepticon and also lacks the apparently natural Decepticon size and strength. It's possible that he's a convert like Blackarachnia.

==Concept art==
[http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/2008/05/evolution-of-lockdown.html Very interesting...] Worth adding to the page? - [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] 00:11, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
::I would say so. I hope more concept work gets out, I love that stuff.--[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 00:50, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

==EMP gen engine after loss==
Despite having lost the EMP generator, Lockdown retains the external engine it comprises in his vehicle mode, as seen in "A Fistful of Energon".
While watching, I noticed that the engine looked a bit different. Also, when he transformed, it seemed to purposely call attention to it. Perhaps we should say something about it.--[[User:Skyglide|Skyglide]] 04:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

== Flame Redeco ==

What is the source of the Flame redeco with the chainsaw weapon, have we seen this with its new weapon, if so where can i find a picture? [[User:Editoroflife|Editoroflife]] 02:23, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
: It was seen in a slide presentation at BotCon 2008. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 03:03, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
:Got a picture? [[User:Editoroflife|Editoroflife]] 07:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

==Maybe an EX-autobot?==

: It just hit me because he trained under yukitron before/during the great war might make him an ex-autobot, is it worth nothing?--[[User:Sunjumper|Sunjumper]] 12:54, 9 April 2009 (EDT)

== Star Wars homage? ==

I remembered a character called Gorm the Dissolver while watching my wife play Lego Star Wars: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gorm

He's a bountyhunter/assassin that sometimes upgrades himself with parts of his victims.

Coincidence?

==Decepticon Denial==
I didn't make that part up, right? Lockdown does say something about not being a Decepticon - or at least not ''confirming'' he's a Decepticon - in Thrill of the Hunt, right? --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 09:49, 14 July 2009 (EDT)
:In Ratchet's flashback in that episode he says "You Decepticon scum" to Lockdown, who responds with "I'm not one of them". -[[User:Mazenoise|Mazenoise]] 10:08, 14 July 2009 (EDT)

== He's an Autobot ==

So I was at Auto Assembly last weekend and as you might know Derrick Wyatt was a guest at the convention. Well I went to him to get a sketch made, but in order to get a sketch made I first had to buy something off him, I opted for an animation layout or what ever it was, well the one I choose was of Lockdown and apart from featuring shadow and light lines it had an Autobot symbol where his rub sign is usually located. So do we add this to the Article? [[User:Dead Metal|Dead Metal]] 03:53, 20 August 2010 (EDT)

== Autobot ==

He used to train under Yoketron, making him an Autobot. So why is this not added?--[[Special:Contributions/96.50.11.220|96.50.11.220]] 04:19, 23 August 2011 (EDT)

[[Image:Cosmicrustspores.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Ewwww...]]
'''Cosmic Rust''' is a microorganism that devours Cybertronian metals. An infected Transformer starts growing a rust-like substance all over their body. Eventually, the corrosion causes the Transformer to waste away to nothing.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
[[Image:Rusted megatron.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]
Cosmic Rust was first discovered in the ruins of an ancient [[Autobot]] colony in deep space, on the planet [[Antilla]]. The [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] who visited the planet were accidentally infected by the rust courtesy of a stray meteor. The radiation provided from a weapon found on the planet (known as The [[Lightning Bug]]) caused the virus to accelerate substantially.

The only cure for Cosmic Rust was a substance called [[corrostop]], invented by [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] to remove corrosion of any form and protect substances from future corrosion. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}
{{--}}
====''Story of Binaltech''====
A new and improved 'Cosmic Rust' disease once again surfaced in the year 2003, thanks to [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]'s tampering. Here, the Decepticons flood the Earth with it, destroying the original bodies of most of the Autobot garrison stationed there—before apparently backfiring on the Decepticons once again. The bulk of both forces however was unaffected as the bulk of the war's fighting has shifted to the Cybertronian-Theater. The Rust itself is never cured, but thanks to a fusion of Cybertronian technology and human car manufacturers, new temporary-bodies were built for the damaged Autobots. While the Decepticons had to resort to Mind Control in order to trick the human engineers into building them bodies of their own. {{storylink|Binaltech}}

[[Nightbeat (SG)|Nightbeat]], head of the [[Secret Police|Autobot Secret Police]], suffers from a chronic case of Cosmic Rust due to a failed assassination attempt.
