Cloud Lockdown was repurposed from the TakaraTomy release of Revenge of the Fallen Lockdown.

Revenge of the Fallen Lockdown's design is a strong homage to his Animated counterpart. 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.

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'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 or Ironhide, for that matter.

This mold was retooled to make Transformers Axor.
