Fiction
[edit]SD SG
[edit]For some reason, Lockdown was present to listen to Optimus Prime whine through the fourth wall. SD SG #1
Notes
[edit]- Lockdown's appearance in SD SG is a nod to the movieverse version of Lockdown's role as a main character of the Q-Transformers cartoon, which SD SG is inspired by.
- Lockdown's body is modeled on the Thrilling 30 Deluxe Class Trailcutter toy while the colors come from a sheriff's vehicle in the TV series Eureka.[1][2]
- Jesse Wittenrich and Josh Perez had an idea that in contrast to how the original Lockdown stole upgrades as trophies, Shattered Lockdown never changed his equipment per the characterization of a small-town sheriff.[3]
