- Lokos is a Decepticon-allied Nebulan Headmaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Lokos is a veteran smuggler and air pirate by trade. He loves the power being a Headmaster gives him access to and uses it for his own enrichment. His partner Squeezeplay is fine with that as long as it means he gets to smash stuff. Lokos prefers doing things the sneaky way, but on the other hand, there is something quite enjoyable about holding the reins while such a monster machine goes to town.
Despite holding the awesome job of "air pirate" he styles his hair very much in the fashion of Ronald McDonald.
He transforms into the head of Squeezeplay.
Fiction
Marvel The Transformers comics
Lokos was recruited into the Decepticons on Nebulos and paired with Squeezeplay in the Headmaster process. After arriving on Earth, he helped Lord Zarak set up the Z Foundation, a front company for the Decepticons on Earth. Lokos went under the alias "Mr. L." Impenetrable disguise, really.
In an effort to attack the Autobots from a new angle, the Z Foundation began offering a $50,000 reward for the capture or destruction of any Transformer (they apparently drew no distinction between the factions in order to avoid arousing suspicion). Along with the similarly disguised Brisko and Kreb, Lokos schooled a quartet of bounty hunters on the Transformers they would be hunting. Codenamed the Roadjammers, these humans were equipped with jammer devices to prevent transformation or independent action by a single robot. Mr. L and his compatriots dispatched the Roadjammers to the Shawungunk Mountains area of New York, on a "hot tip" that some Autobots were in the vicinity. (In fact, they were prisoners of war released into the wild from a Decepticon detention facility on Cybertron, in order to test the Roadjammers' effectiveness.)
The Roadjammers indeed proved highly effective, capturing the Autobots Fizzle, Sizzle, and Backstreet in one afternoon. However, they were also too curious for their own good. After snooping around the Z Foundation, they discovered the inert bodies of Squeezeplay and the others' Decepticon partners. Catching their new employees in their investigation, Lokos and his partner unveiled their true forms and merged with the Decepticons. Unfortunately, the Roadjammers' tech-head Felix had rigged their jammers to control TWO Transformers instead of one apiece, placing both the Decepticons AND Autobots under their control. Lord Zarak and Scorponok were forced to intervene directly in the matter, which led to the escape of the Autobots and Roadjammers before Squeezeplay and his fellow Headmasters were freed. Ca$h and Car-nage!
Toys
Generation 1
- Squeezeplay (Headmaster, 1988)
- Lokos is the Headmaster unit of Squeezeplay. Inserting him (or any other Headmaster unit) into Squeezeplay's neck will activate a spring-loaded mini-Tech-Spec-meter which gives readouts for Speed, Strength and Intelligence. Lokos has Squeezeplay's face plainly visible on his back again because he didn't get the flip-down panel of the larger 1987 Headmasters. As another consequence of being a smaller Headmaster, his chest cavity was apparently too small for 3 individual tumblers. As a result, all Headmaster heads inserted will display Squeezeplay's pre-sculpted Speed, Strength, and Intelligence readings (4, 8, 5) on one large sliding plate.
- Squeezeplay and Lokos were released in Japan as Super-God Masterforce Cancer.
