Lockpick

Lockpick is a Star Seeker from the Wings Universe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

On board the Tidal Wave, Lockpick is one of the many gunners. He also happens to be Cutback's associate in a secret black market ring that claims to be able to obtain any object. Helping Lockpick in this crusade, he had an internal transwarp generator, which allows him to teleport in his flight mode along with a small cargo — an invaluable ability when smuggling.

Fiction

Wings Universe

Tornado tested out the effectiveness of the black market by requesting Cutback and Lockpick obtain for him a Sky Seer. They succeeded, though the Sky Seer broke out of its crate as Tornado went to collect it. When Cannonball found the Sky Seer on board, Cutback and Lockpick made themselves scarce. Cutback later threatened to deprive Tornado of their services, but Tornado told them he'd pay them three times their normal rate if they found him a Lukythian Warp Star. They proceeded to obtain the weapon for him, though they changed the arrangements in an attempt to make sure their enterprise remained secret.

Later, the Star Seekers found themselves in a cursed space sector filled with black holes. After an old Quintesson was brought on board, several crew members reported strange happenings on the Tidal Wave, and Tornado was tasked with investigating them. While flipping through camera channels, he noticed Lockpick conversing with Flamewar. Tornado noted that it was odd, since the two weren’t friends. In reality, it was Starscream possessing Lockpick’s body and planning a mutinous rebellion against Cannonball. Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur
