- The mode lock is a restraining device from the Marvel Comics portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The mode lock is a handy way to restrain a prisoner. When affixed, it prevents the affected Transformer from transforming out of their alt mode or taking any independent action except speaking. It also can be tracked to a radius of 50,000 miles. A mode locked Transformer can be controlled by radio.

After his heroism convinced Hot Spot to let him go free, the mode lock was used to restrain Blast Off to take the humans on a joyride in space. Child's Play
