[[File:AOE Lockdown walks.jpg|thumb|upright=1.9||In 2007, we were all pretty sure there would be a fourth live-action ''Transformers'' movie with Lockdown as the main villain.]]
Even the Decepticons are afraid of ''this'' guy, because once '''Lockdown''' has been hired to track down a subject, nothing stops him from completing his transaction short of total deactivation! Answering only to his enigmatic "[[Creator]]s", Lockdown holds himself above the Autobot/Decepticon war and sees both sides as squabbling children that he has to rein in personally. He doesn't think much higher of other civilized species across the galaxy (particularly humans), though isn't above working with them if it suits him.

Lockdown is a bounty hunter at heart, always fulfilling the contracts and missions he is assigned to as long as he is paid. He doesn't really care what he has to do in order to fulfill his contract, eager to destroy entire planets if it's necessary. His respect for other species is not too great either, sometimes mumbling about his own clients and speaking to them sarcastically. Lockdown's been known to loot weaponry from the foes he kills, so his armory is constantly changing!<ref name="titanbio">[[Transformers Comic issue 5.1]] bio: "The Lowdown on Lockdown" The spare parts is an ''Animated'' trait that was added in.</ref>

These days, a long scar runs down his face. There are many rumors about where it came from, some saying it was a run-in with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], but nobody knows for sure...<ref name="titanbio" />

Lockdown was tasked by the mysterious [[Creator]]s to capture all their rogue "knights." He spent centuries on the task, using a commandeered and converted [[Knight Ship|ship]] that had once belonged to the knights themselves as a mobile prison for containing and transporting his various captives. Eventually, he succeeded in capturing all of the knights save one—[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. To acquire this last prize, Lockdown travelled to [[Earth]] and joined forces with the human organization [[Cemetery Wind]], who were in the process of hunting and killing any surviving Cybertronians who had survived the battle of [[Chicago]]. In exchange for the safe apprehension of Prime, he promised [[Harold Attinger]] a [[Seed]], a device that could cyberform a massive area of land. Several years after the Battle of Chicago, Lockdown and Cemetery Wind located Optimus Prime in [[Mexico City]] and attacked; though Lockdown was able to grievously wound Prime, the human operatives failed to contain Prime, and he escaped and went into hiding.

Continuing to work with Cemetery Wind, Lockdown aided in the pursuit of [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], lurking in nearby waters and disabling the Autobot medic from afar with his head-cannon after the humans had crippled him. When Ratchet refused to divulge Optimus's location, Lockdown ripped his [[spark]] from his chest. Soon after, he met with Attinger on the hull of his ship to discuss their arrangements, where the bounty hunter expressed his disgust with [[human]]s and mused that none of the species he had worked with in his travels had really understood their place in the universe.

An anonymous tip from a [[Lucas Flannery|panicked civilian]] allowed Cemetery Wind to locate Optimus in at the home of [[Cade Yeager]] in [[Texas]]. Lockdown pulled up to a nearby baseball field and transformed, deploying his hook to clamber up a nearby grain silo. When Optimus revealed himself and began fighting back against Cemetery Wind's human operatives, Lockdown bombarded the Yeager homestead with a flurry of missiles, destroying it. Lockdown later pursued Prime across the highway, and eventually engaged Prime in battle on the roof of an abandoned factory. Prime managed to momentarily disable Lockdown by tossing him into a crane cable, allowing the Autobot leader to escape once again with his human allies; Lockdown freed himself in time to try and stop them with a grenade, but the only victim of its blast was [[Lucas Flannery]].

[[File:Lockdown gun face.gif|thumb|left|upright=1.67|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|GIVE ME YOUR]]- Err.. face-gun!]]

Later, after the Autobots stormed [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]], Optimus was battling [[Megatron (Movie)|Galvatron]] when Lockdown ambushed Prime and took him and [[Tessa Yeager]] captive. After moving his ship over Chicago to deliver the promised Seed to Cemetery Wind, Lockdown locked Prime up with the other [[Dinobot (AOE)|Knights]] that he had captured, explaining to the defeated Autobot the origins of his ship and why the Creators wanted him. Unbeknownst to Lockdown, the other Autobots and humans had already boarded his ship in order to free Prime and Tessa; when [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] fired the ship's anchors in order to prevent it from taking off, the bounty hunter merely assumed one of his prisoners had broken free, and dispatched a pack of [[Steeljaw (AOE)|Steeljaws]] to deal with the problem. The beasts detached the anchors, and Lockdown took off into space, unaware that the Autobots had rescued Prime and stolen the section of his ship containing his prize trophy case.

[[File:LockdownDeath.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Half the hunter he used to be.]]
Discovering the truth part-way into his journey, the furious Lockdown ordered a return to Earth. Arriving in the midst of a battle between the Autobots and KSI drones in [[Hong Kong]], Lockdown utilized a magnetic weapon on his ship to wreak havoc on the city, but it was soon destroyed by Optimus. Lockdown descended to Hong Kong to battle him in person, leading to a vicious fight that saw Lockdown take the upper hand after Optimus diverted his attention to save Cade Yeager from Attinger. Lockdown impaled Prime on his own [[sword]], mocking him for his choice to save the human, but before the bounty hunter could finish him, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], Cade, Tessa and [[Shane Dyson]] all teamed up against him. Lockdown was able to dispatch Bumblebee, and then turned on Cade, but failed to notice that Shane and Tessa had freed Optimus. Optimus slew Lockdown by brutally bisecting him with his sword, and destroyed what remained of his body when he used one of Lockdown's grenades to finish off the remaining KSI drones.

And we thought Lockdown always fulfilled his contracts.

One of Lockdown's latest targets was [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], whose destruction he will be paid handsomely for. Once he has accepted a contract, nothing short of total deactivation can stop him. While his services have never come cheap, he considers himself to be the best there is at what he does. Having never lost a target, Lockdown had no intentions for the hunt for Ratchet to be the first time. {{storylink|#Revenge of the Fallen|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Lockdown}}

Another Autobot target Lockdown has run afoul of was [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]].<ref name="hasbrobio">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=841165f8-19b9-f369-1057-0b57c1e069b6 Hasbro Lockdown Battle Bio]</ref>

A long time ago, Lockdown trained [[Axor]] in the arts of bounty-hunting. Though this motivated the younger hunter to rebuild ''himself'' to better resemble his teacher, Lockdown would deny it if asked. Axor views his mentor as his closest comrade, which Lockdown has been willing to let him believe.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=841165f8-19b9-f369-1057-0b57c1e069b6 Hasbro Axor Battle Bio]</ref>

Lockdown does not necessarily care about the Decepticon cause in the slightest. He only bears the Decepticon insignia because his closest comrade Megatron is the one paying him for capturing the targets he hunts in [[energon star|energon chips]].<ref name="hasbrobio" /> Though Lockdown has worked alone in the past, he never failed to bring in an Autobot he was assigned to capture. {{storylink|#Speed Stars|''Speed Stars'' Lockdown}}

As one of the most feared bounty hunters in the universe, Lockdown captures and collects every prize he tracks in his [[Knight Ship|massive prison ship]]. Few of his targets have managed to outmaneuver him, and even fewer have escaped his jails. Now that he has come to Earth, Lockdown is setting his sights on the Autobots. {{storylink|#Age of Extinction|''Age of Extinction'' Deluxe Lockdown}}

{{quote|Science will not win this war!|Says the transforming giant robot|[[Cyber Missions 3|''Cyber Missions'' #3]]}}

Lockdown was cruising the city streets when he was encountered by [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], who had been alerted to Lockdown's presence by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] due to their "violent history". For blocks, Lockdown fled Ratchet silently as the Autobot fired his [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] blaster until he transformed into [[robot mode]] and expressed his frustration. Finally, when Ratchet's EMP blaster failed him, Lockdown transformed as well. He mocked Ratchet for never being able to best him, knocked him around, and when the Autobot had had enough, the Decepticon bounty hunter stole Ratchet's EMP blaster as a memento. As Lockdown sped away, he wondered if he could fix Ratchet's faulty weapon. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 3|Cyber Missions #3}}

Later, Lockdown managed to evade [[Diego Garcia]]'s security measures and sneak into Autobot Headquarters undetected. After cutting power to the facilities, he sneaked up behind [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] in the target practice range. Ratchet's EMP blaster, attached to Lockdown's arm, was now in proper working order, and the bounty hunter vowed to also take Sideswipe's new sidearms. Lockdown was shocked when the EMP blaster was shot off his arm and out of his reach by Ratchet. Wounded, the Decepticon fled. Unfortunately for Lockdown, he retreated to the medical bay, where Ratchet's surgical tools restrained and sedated him. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 7|Cyber Missions #7}}

Later, Lockdown and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] confronted [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. Looking to steal one of Ironhide's weapons, Lockdown took a missile instead, which blew up in his face. The explosion damaged his optics, so he fled. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 11|Cyber Missions #11}}

===Titan movie comics===
[[File:Titan AOE Drift's crew.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|In the grim darkness of the recent past, there is only war!]]

Five years before the Battle of [[Chicago]],<ref>''Dark of the Moon'' has no explicit date but as Sam has graduated, it's set in 2012 at the earliest</ref> Lockdown was part of a three-Con team with [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] and [[Knucklehead]] on Cybertron. While Drift wanted to take an Autobot outpost with minimal bloodshed, Lockdown thought this was sissy hippy crap and they should just bomb everything (even though that would mean having no outpost to capture); when they sneaked instead, he disobeyed orders and decided to execute prisoners out of hand. Drift stopped him, giving a gleeful Lockdown the chance to claim the guy was a traitor and kill him off. Knucklehead and Drift sent him down into a molten moat, swearing revenge on them both. Of course, he couldn't actually kill them while Megatron was still in charge, or the big boss would be unhappy. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.1|Adrift in Space and Time}}

As well as being a Decepticon, Lockdown had a profitable sideline as a bounty hunter and hired killer. He claimed the bounty on the [[Coseem crime gang]]'s boss.{{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.4|Locked In!}}

With a [[:File:ROTF deluxe Lockdown.jpg|new body]], he went to Earth soon after and ended up captured by [[NEST]] under unknown circumstances... only to become part of [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]]'s 2010 jailbreak! He joined Bludgeon's splinter cell of Decepticons and took great pleasure in talking out all his "hurting" on [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} When the Autobots tracked down the Decepticon base in [[Russia]], Lockdown was ordered to prepare an ambush for them. He loyally served Bludgeon in this until Megatron arrived, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}} and then he not-so-loyally ran away. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.21|A Short, Sharp Lesson!}}

Near the end of the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Battle of Chicago]], Lockdown (now back in his old body!) immediately murdered Knucklehead as soon as Megatron died. Drift, now an Autobot, found the corpse on the moon and knew the hunter had become more powerful than before. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.1|Adrift in Space and Time}}

Lockdown soon took control of the remaining Decepticon forces on Earth but kept himself out of the limelight. He oversaw an ambush in [[Indonesia]]: three Decepticons would kill a few hundred humans, getting the predictable Autobots to give chase and be ambushed at an old [[Netherlands|Dutch]] fort. He watched as [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] didn't rush in head on and wiped out his team, but the Autobots remained unaware he was around so ''he'' was alright! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.2|Thousand Island Fight}}

He later left Earth to make some more cash bounty-hunting but was tricked into capturing [[Sojex]], a Coseem hitwoman who took control of his ship and turned his own defences on him. He cut through them all and when attacked by [[scraplet]]s, he quietly [[water|dealt with them]] while using holograms to make Sojex think he was dead. After her defeat, Lockdown was contacted by [[Creator|new employers]] with a job on Earth.{{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.4|Locked In!}}

Lockdown, or another partly-green robot with a hook in place of his right hand, was among the Transformers captured by the [[Initiative]] and mind-controlled into doing their bidding. When Optimus Prime and the Autobots assaulted the Initiative's mobile headquarters, Lockdown was released and knocked out [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}}

Lockdown battled [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]], [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]], and [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]] until he was eventually subdued by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], the former of which slashed him in the back. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

Lockdown was part of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s small group who planned to apply [[Project Unite|Project: Unite]] to Decepticons. After reporting to Starscream that [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]] had found that some Autobots were approaching their base in [[Greece]], he moved out to attack them and cut down [[Breacher (TF 2010)|Breacher]]. His victory was short-lived, though, as he was swiftly defeated and captured by [[Sea Spray (TF 2010)|Sea Spray]] and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 2|Bludgeon's Revenge}}

Lockdown found himself cornered by the duo of [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]] and [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], but to the bounty hunter's luck, Drift was an inexperienced Dinobot rider indeed. Lockdown impatiently waited for Drift to get his act together and attack him already, but to Lockdown's amusement, Drift fried himself with Slug's weaponry. However, it turned out to be a bad day for all, since Lockdown got zapped too.

One must wonder why Lockdown didn't flee while Drift spent a long time trying to figure out Slug's weaponry... {{storylink|How to Ride Your Dinobot Chapter 3: How to Fight|How to Fight}}

While meeting with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] at a rest stop, Lockdown wondered why they'd been made cute for the Q-Transformers toyline, which turned out to be so they'd appeal to non-''Transformers'' fans. Lockdown thought a better way of doing that would be to make it into a daytime soap with him and Optimus in a love triangle with Bumblebee. No one else was keen on the idea. {{storylink|Mystery of the 30th Anniversary Merchandise}} The conversation eventually turned to ''[[Transformers: Mystery of Convoy| Mystery of Convoy]]'', with Lockdown puzzled over why anyone would play such an impossible crappy game. The others defended it, and he challenged them to define a crappy game if ''Mystery of Convoy'' didn't count. Though they provided examples, his opinion was a crappy game would be one that smelled bad. {{storylink|Mystery of Reliably Crappy Games}}

The discussion continued with Lockdown wondering why Optimus was playing ''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns| Mystery of Convoy Returns]]'', a remake of a previously established "crappy game" and opining that they should have made a better game instead. {{storylink|Mystery of Smearing Salt in the Open Wound}} While trying the game himself, Lockdown didn't recognize the first boss and was told that the game bosses are mostly weird made up characters like Decepticon insignia. He challenged the others to justify why they weren't established Decepticons. {{storylink|Mystery of the Stage Bosses}} He was even more unimpressed with the game's difficulty, and thought it should have been changed in the remake, leading to a discussion over whether it would betray the fans of the original game, or if the difficulty betrayed the fans of the original anime. {{storylink|Mystery of the Wittily Similar Circumstances}}

[[File:QTransformers6 Lockdown facepalms.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1]]
Lockdown was surprised when it turned out [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] could only reach level 4 of the game despite being on the development team, and remained unimpressed when Wheeljack details the parts of the game that the team focused on. Wheeljack's assertion that the "gap" made the game more attractive did little to convince Lockdown and just started a conversation about men's unattractive gaps that left the Decepticon facepalming. {{storylink|Mystery of the Gap of Unpopular Men}} When they were joined by [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], Lockdown brought up his major complaint that the game didn't properly reflect the original anime and demanded the others admit it. He was ignored while everyone discussed other crappy games, and admitted he couldn't stand not having a shower first thing in the morning when they started talking about explorers who never leave home. {{storylink|Mystery of a Certain Explorer}} When [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] and [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] were called in to discuss more crappy games, Lockdown had had enough of the topic and wanted them all to move on with their lives. The discussion continued regardless. {{storylink|Mystery of a Certain Psychic}}

[[File:QTransformers10 Lockdown vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1]]
Unfortunately for Lockdown, Optimus persisted on trying to prove ''Mystery of Convoy'' wasn't crappy, bringing in [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] to provide possible data reasons a game could be crappy. The others dismissed the idea of ''Mystery of Convoy'' matching any of the reasons give, much to Lockdown's disgust. {{storylink|Mystery of Game Balance}} [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] arrived with another set of possible reasons, but when Optimus and Bumblebee dismissed them all, it threw Lockdown into a rage. {{storylink|Mystery of the Lowest Possible Standards}} When Optimus adopted a different alternate mode, it led Lockdown to muse why Transformers voices, personalities and sometimes even names differ depending on what show they're appearing in. He wondered if this was some sort of player 1/player 2 thing. {{storylink|Mystery of Convoy}} Lockdown eventually got as far as the [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] boss in the game, only for the actual Megatron to turn up and complain about him getting hooked on the game. Megatron wanted to know why the game hadn't been patched to be better yet, though Lockdown thought patching it might make it worse. When the suggestion was made that they should rename the game, Lockdown thought it would also be a good idea to add swimsuit malfunctions, and was unimpressed with Optimus's naming ideas. {{storylink|Mystery of Return of Convoy}}

With the releasing of new Q-Transformers toys that better matched their cartoon appearance, Lockdown was confused as to why the appearances differed in the first place. This led to the revelation that the line was waning in popularity and they'd need to discuss how to make it more popular. {{storylink|The Road to Winning a New Fanbase}} Optimus and Bumblebee thought that examining previous ''Transformers'' shows would be helpful. After they examined the original show, Lockdown pointed out that they hadn't reflected on the show's faults, such as its weak depiction of war and the difficulty in telling who is an Autobot and who's a Decepticon. He agreed with Bumblebee's idea of the characters wearing uniforms, much to the surprise of the others. {{storylink|The Road to Easy Identification}}

[[File:QTransformers19 Lockdown's pop idol concept.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.8]]
Lockdown joined the others in a studio for Q-Transformers Radio, guest starring [[Yukimura Sanada]]. When their guest, being from feudal era Japan, was confused by what robots were, Lockdown compared them to [[Tadakatsu Honda]], another character from the same game franchise. {{storylink|The Road to Borrowing Popularity from Sengoku Basara}} Returning to the discussion of previous shows, Lockdown was annoyed by the change to ''Transformers 2010'' as ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' had not been released in Japan when that premiered, with each revelation making him madder. {{storylink|The Road to Smoothly Conveying the Content of the Movie}} Descriptions of the later series made in Japan just made Lockdown [[GEEWUN|more annoyed]] about the changes being made to the franchise. When Optimus suggested they come up with new kinds of Transformers as the later series did, Lockdown's immediate thought was to make them all into pop idols. {{storylink|The Road to Newer Transformers}} Lockdown later took a day off while the others were recording another Q-Transformers Radio segment. {{storylink|The Road to Borrowing Popularity from Cooking Papa}}

The coverage of the Beast Era of shows was actually starting to impress Lockdown with how they appealed to kids and had a light and comic dub, at least until they reached ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars Returns]]'' and he exploded with rage at the changes it made. {{storylink|The Road to Dark and Comical Transformers}} He was also annoyed at the [[Unicron Trilogy continuity family|Micron Trilogy]] due to the fact it switched realities for the third show and labeled the whole thing a failure. {{storylink|The Road to These Definitely Failed Sequels}} As the second season drew to a close, Lockdown asked if Optimus and Bumblebee had learned anything, only to discover the pair though there wasn't much to reflect on. [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] arrived to suggest they consider making ''Q-Transformers: The Movie'' and a discussion followed regarding what to put in said movie. Lockdown's opinion was they should have more than one female character. {{storylink|The Road to Q-Transformers: The Movie}}

[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] refused out of pride while [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] refused out of loyalty. Lockdown tried to bribe Sentinel with a [[seed]], but in the meantime, Optimus finally reignited Sentinel's sense of honor. Sentinel proceeded to pretend to hand over Optimus only to betray Lockdown and capture his [[Knight Ship|ship]]. Teaming up with the [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]]s, Optimus and Sentinel liberated Earth from Decepticon control and used the seed to revitalize Cybertron. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/22}}

When he had finished basking in his victory, he sent the data to Starscream, who ordered Lockdown to investigate a reactivated [[Sector Seven|Sector 7]] base, and the Decepticon ended up tangling with [[Dino|Mirage]].

Some time during his stay on Earth, Lockdown tracked down the [[Dark Spark]] as it made its way toward the planet. The Autobots realized the destruction the relic could cause and moved to retrieve it, only to be stopped by the bounty hunter. Intercepting the Autobots, Lockdown grabbed the Dark Spark first and took it for himself. Despite Optimus Prime's pleas, Lockdown was more interested in the profit he could make from its power. As Prime attempted to tackle Lockdown and take the artifact, Lockdown activated its power and froze the Autobots in place long enough to escape.

Later, the Autobots attempted to infiltrate Lockdown's base but were unsuccessful. Drift was captured while Bumblebee escaped, but only long enough to find an alternate path to retrieve his colleague. Lockdown sent a titan after them to prevent their escape, but the Autobots were able to slip out and regroup.

Finally breaking into Lockdown's base, they discovered he had been using the power of the Dark Spark to create a time bridge to go back in time and prevent the Autobot's victory at the Battle of Chicago. In doing so, he would revive the war and with it his main source of income. Optimus once again pleaded to rethink, citing the destruction that Earth would have to endure if the war were to continue, but as usual Lockdown didn't care. Optimus once again tried to tackle Lockdown, who activated the Dark Spark's power again to stop him in mid-air. In true super villain fashion, Lockdown monologued his plan rather than do something about Prime, who was able to break free of the Dark Spark's power. The two fought to a standstill until Drift was able to move in and cut the Dark Spark from Lockdown's chest. Fumbling to catch it, Lockdown instead knocked it into Drift's hand long enough for Optimus to activate the Matrix of Leadership and blast it into the time bridge. Lockdown took the opportunity to escape, swearing that "this isn't the end". {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark (console)}}

: Released in the eighth wave of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxes under the ''N.E.S.T. Global Alliance'' banner, Lockdown's design strongly homages his [[Lockdown (Animated)#Toys|''Transformers Animated'' counterpart]], but with a completely different transformation. Once again, Lockdown transforms into an amalgam of a 1980s Corvette and a 1960s Cougar, with lots of spikes and a cow-catcher on his bumper. The toy's [[Mech Alive]] feature rotates cylinders inside his thighs as his lower legs rotate, and pneumatic cylinders extend as his Capture Hook is deployed. Unfortunately, the Capture Hook is made of ''extremely'' soft plastic, which may cause it to deform easily in robot mode or droop and rub against the floor when rolling him in vehicle mode. (Dipping the hook for a few moments in boiling water will help it go back to its original shape.)

: Lockdown may have the most articulated neck ever for a Transformer, having three ball joints and a swivel joint. Craziness.

:Similar to his ''Animated'' counterpart, Lockdown's arm-mounted hot rod engine weapon can be removed and can be replaced by ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|Ratchet]]'s weapon. Likewise, Ratchet can store Lockdown's engine on his roof; it cannot, however, attach to his arm. Interestingly, the plug for Lockdown's engine is the same general shape as the plug for ''Animated'' Lockdown's EMP blaster/engine, but smaller; as such, it isn't compatible with ''Animated'' Lockdown, or with ''Animated'' [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] or [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]], for that matter.

: Also much like his ''Animated'' incarnation, he is much taller than other Deluxes, being almost Voyager-height or larger depending on how his digitigrade leg joints are arranged.

: This mold was retooled to make the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' 2010]] [[Axor#Toys|Axor]], as well as [[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|''Timelines'']] [[Circuit (Movie)#Toys|Circuit]].

:Lockdown transforms into an officially licensed (in fact, the only licensed toy of Lockdown released in the ''Age of Extinction'' line) Lamborghini Aventador. He comes with a friction-fire sniper rifle that can either be held in his hands using [[5 mm post]]s, or attached to his head with a smaller peg to simulate his "gun-face" from the ''Age of Extinction'' film. Two additional pegs are molded into the gun for [[Alternate mode|vehicle mode]] attachment. His transformation shares similarities to Deluxe [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]]'s.

:Takara Tomy's ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Movie Advanced Series|Movie Advanced Series]]'' version of the figure replaces much of the robot mode's grey plastic with black, intending to create a more movie-accurate appearance.

:Note that the stock photos provided here are mis-transformed. The Hasbro version has the right side of the chest collapsed too far into the abdomen, and both versions should have their upper shoulders folded further down in order to properly tab into place. Unlike previous toys of the character, this figure is actually smaller than most other Deluxes from the same line due to the size of his vehicle mode.

:Lockdown was later extensively retooled as ''The Last Knight'' [[Hot Rod (DOTM)#Deluxe|Hot Rod]].

:Similar to an Activators toy, Lockdown can transform into a robot by pressing a button on his vehicle mode. This version of him does ''not'' have a licensed Lamborghini Aventador car mode (No licensing information is printed on his packaging, nor does the car have a Lamborghini symbol). Oddly enough, Lockdown's entire back is sculpted with great detail, despite this not being visible without taking the toy apart. His only articulation is the forearms, which can swing up and down.

:After transforming into robot mode, Lockdown can be transformed back by pushing the top of the car down, but be careful when setting him down, as he might pop back into robot mode if you aren't careful.

:The Japanese release of Lockdown does away with the blue paint on his robot mode and car rear and features black and metallic blue paint detail on his robot parts for slight extra screen accuracy.

:Lockdown was later retooled into [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Hot Rod]].

==Notes==

[[File:Walkdown.jpg|thumb|right|125px|"Check out my new weapon. My weapon of choice."]]
* The head on ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Lockdown's instruction lineart is actually that of his retool, [[Axor]]. The head can be seen in much clearer detail on page 8 of the [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[Hasbro Design Sketchbook]], volume 2.
* Hasbro's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' website describes both Arcee and Ratchet as Lockdown's enemy on their respective pages, mirroring the relationship between their ''Animated'' counterparts.
* In reference to his ''[[Lockdown (Animated)|Animated]]'' counterpart, Lockdown's ''Age of Extinction'' incarnation has the ability to transform his hands into various weapons, such as the famous hook, a blaster, a spark extractor device, and even his chainsaw-hand. He can also turn his head into a sniper rifle-esque cannon, lending credence to the fact that he's probably been building on himself like his original incarnation. Some concept art also showed him characteristically taking and equipping Ratchet's saw after he had terminated the Autobot.
* According to his Battle Bio, Lockdown possesses a "[[Supercharger]]" which he uses to store kinetic energy. The energy stored in this way can later be used to increase his speed and strength, which in turn allows him to move in for the kill with a burst of power.<ref>Lockdown's [[Battle Bio]]</ref> The Battle Bio also states that Lockdown is equipped with a "skeletal spinal cord" that provides him with agility far beyond that of the average Cybertronian.
* Early concept art for Lockdown indicates that at one point he would have hewed closer to his original ''Animated'' design; not only would he have sported a green-and-black color scheme and a tattered "poncho",<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/1/10492031_823531154338867_8013560203166570203_n_1404766373.jpg Concept art for Lockdown's robot mode</ref> he would also have transformed into a weatherbeaten muscle car with an exposed engine block.<ref>http://www.flickr.com/photos/69016045@N00/14607949853/ Concept art for Lockdown's vehicle mode</ref> Presumably, his [[alternate mode]] and design were altered so that Lamborghini could [[To sell toys|advertise their new sports cars]].
* Later concept art by [[Josh Nizzi]] would depict Lockdown with a large sniper rifle and a trophy belt decorated with severed fingers and ears from past kills adorning his hip. According to Nizzi, Lockdown was planned to be a "Christopher Walken type", hence the concept art's resemblance to the actor.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/joshnizzi.art/p/CFPq56XDuoC/?img_index=1</ref>
* Two proposed [[Fun Publications]] [[BotCon]] [[exclusive]]s were a redeco of [[#Revenge of the Fallen|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Lockdown]] into "Marlboor Wheeljack" (conceived prior to [[Exhaust]] receiving his name from Takara) and a ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' version of [[Stranglehold]] using the [[Axor]] tooling (and would have had a mustache!).<ref>[http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc14/bc14br.html BotCon 2014 attendee report]</ref>
* Aside from his unaligned status, there is another reason for the lack of an insignia on Lockdown's vehicle mode: the prop car used to portray him was personally owned by Mr. Bay himself.
