Fiction
Cyberverse cartoon
- Voice actor: Mike Rose (English), Satoshi Tsuruoka (Japanese)
Lockdown was among the Decepticons present during Megatron's eulogy for Starscream. When orders went out to bring Megatron Optimus Prime's head, Lockdown was forcibly drafted by Shockwave into sabotaging Soundwave's shuttle. He and Clobber, who had been placed in a similar situation, were subsequently drafted into Shadow Striker's own plot as bait. The two went outside to lament their unfair lot, only to encounter an unexpected windfall when the Autobot Hot Rod appeared from a GroundBridge. Acting quickly, they captured the Autobot and brought him to Megatron, who decided to use him as a bargaining chip. Unfortunately for them, Hot Rod broke free of his restraints, and their attempts to recapture him inadvertently foiled Shadow Striker's own, allowing the fugitive to escape.

Lockdown returned to Cybertron along with the other Decepticons and took part in the subsequent battle against the Autobots, during which he assaulted Kup only to get blasted by Whirl. Battle For Cybertron II
Notes
- Lockdown's design is influenced by his Generation 1 namesake's appearance in the Earth Wars mobile game. This is evident by the position his card hood, headlights, and bumper on his shoulders in robot mode.
- Despite never transforming in the cartoon, Lockdown's vehicle mode is implied to be a muscle car similar to his original namesake from Transformers Animated.
- Did we mention that this is the most knuckle-headed version of the character?
Foreign names
