Lockdown is a Decepticon from the Adventure portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Fearsome and renowned throughout the cosmos, Lockdown (ロックダウン Rokkudaun) leads an army of self-duplicating Insecticons, which he boasts can raze cities to rubble with their sheer numbers. He is also known on many planets as an arms dealer, trafficking weapons and technology through the black markets, with nobody the wiser to their origin or former owners.

Adventure Lockdown is a redeco of Animated Lockdown, transforming into an amalgam of a 1980s Corvette and a 1960s Cougar, with lots of spikes and a cow-catcher on his bumper. In car mode, pressing down on his engine block/EMP generator flips out twin cannon barrels. A hook can also be flipped from the center of his bumper.

In robot mode, the entire engine block/center hood assembly pops off to form a "replacement" hook-hand gauntlet that can be used on either arm. The engine block can be removed and attached to Animated deluxe Ratchet's left arm via the "war wound" socket.
