[edit]
- Doom-Lock (Energon Class, 2004)
- Accessories: Blaster, sword, Decepticon energon star
- Released in the fifth wave of the Hasbro Energon Energon Class toys (and only in the Hasbro version of the line), Doom-Lock is a recolor of Cruellock and transforms into a dinosaur-monster somewhat reminiscent of the 1998 American movie version of Godzilla, while his color scheme are similar to toys of the movie's hatchlings. His simple transformation scheme largely consists of either connecting or disconnecting the halves of his waist (which automatically transforms his upper torso's shoulders and dino-head into the proper positions), splitting or re-joining his tail-halves, and rotating his head around.
- He includes two clear-orange energon weapons; a small blaster and a large sword, both of which store in his tail in beast mode. The sword's handle is on a (distressingly tight) pinned joint to fold out sideways, which both allows enough room to store it in his beast-mode tail (forming his beast-mode "attack mode"), and allows Doom-Lock to actually hold the sword in his right hand (his giant "energon" claws get in the way normally, and the handle doesn't swing the other way for proper clearance for his left hand). Connecting the blaster to it as a handle turns it into the marginally longer "Energy Blade" Ultimate Energon Weapon that he can actually hold properly. Both of the weapons have Mini-Con Powerlinx sockets, so they can be used to activate Mini-Con features on Armada toys. Like the other Terrorcons, he includes a Decepticon-style Energon star that can be attached to most Energon toys's spark crystals, his own being located on the chest of both of his modes.
- An undocumented feature is the addition of pegs on the insides of the tail halves that correspond with holes in his thighs. The only reasonable explanation for this feature is to give the figure some extra stability in robot mode, so that he doesn't collapse under the weight of the sword. Utilizing this feature does remove all articulation in his legs, however.
- This mold is also used to make Dinobot Magma Type, and a Walmart-exclusive version of Age of Extinction Grimlock. In Japan, his sword was used to make the "Energy Blade Phantom Night Edition" promotional exclusive energon weapon, as well as a pack-in energon weapon with Galvatron General.
- Due to some of the mechanism in his pelvis being made of clear plastic, some copies have been known to break due to the stress the metal pins put on those parts. It's advised to examine the condition of these parts to decide whether transforming it is worth the risk or not.
