Toys

Kre-O

All of the Age of Extinction Kre-O sets were exclusive to ToysЯUs in the US... though some did eventually filter to closeout stores in mid-2015.

Lockdown's monocled helmet winks while grinning. Unsee that.

• Lockdown Air Raid (2014)
  • Set number: A6956
  • Pieces: 203
  • Kreons: Hound, Lockdown, Sideswipe
  • Accessories: Scoped pistol

The "Lockdown Air Raid" box set is centered around a large build of Lockdown's ship, and of course features its pilot in Kreon form. This version of Lockdown has a bared-teeth snarl and a new-mold helmet with a face-concealing flip-up visor attachment. While other visors will work with Lockdown's helmet, Lockdown's visor pretty much doesn't work with any other helmets.

The set also comes with two other Kreons and a buildable Dinobot raptor.

He got rock-em-sock-em'd.

• Lockdown (Custom Kreon, 2014)
  • Set number: A7838
  • Pieces: 30
  • Accessories: Buildable parts rack, buildable "head-gun", pistol, spare body parts, missile-backpack

Part of the first wave of Age of Extinction-branded Custom Kreons, this version of Lockdown has a neutral expression on his face, a darker hip-piece, and slightly different chest deco than the "Lockdown Air Raid" version. He comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. Unlike other Custom Kreons, he only has a single (opaque) helmet, but comes with chromed and translucent versions of his flip-up visor, as well as an extra clear-plastic torso and legs, plus the "missile" backpack. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the Kre-O Battleship aliens), a buildable "head gun" (though it cannot be pushed all the way down on the neck-peg as shown in his instructions) and a Klingon blaster rifle originally from the Star Trek Kre-O sets, enhanced with a small "technic" peg.

• Grimlock Unleashed (2014)
  • Set number: A8600
  • Pieces: 333
  • Kreons: Grimlock, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Galvatron, Lockdown
  • Accessories: Blaster rifle

Available only in the "Grimlock Unleashed" set, this version of Lockdown has a smirk and a scarred left eye, another slightly-different chest tampograph (featuring more yellow piping in the center-chest area), and dark-gray hands and hips cast in sparkly plastic. He also comes with the new-style Transformer blaster rifle.

This set popped up at ToysЯUs a few short weeks after the initial product without any advance warning... and retailed for a mere $25, despite the size of the set.

Notes

• Lockdown as he appears in the Kre-O manga is based on the Animated version of Lockdown, pre-dating the whole Age of Extinction thing.
