Title:
Lockdown Blazing
Description:
Blazing Lockdown (Deluxe, 2008)
Takara ID number: TA-46
Takara release date: November 20 2010
Accessories: Chainsaw attachment, engine block/EMP generator
Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro)
Part of the fifth wave of Hasbro’s Animated Deluxes, this fiery-themed redeco and retooling of the original Lockdown toy replaces the hook in his hood-attachment with his chainsaw weapon, which is removable, but cannot flip back out of sight like the hook can. Which can look pretty vicious in car mode, admittedly. He retains all of the other gimmickry from the previous versions of the mold, as well as the same issues with the wrists.
Due to the fact that the hood-chunk that mounts the hook and chainsaw can go on either arm, if you have both releases of the deluxe toy, it is possible to recreate his appearance the flashback scene from in "The Thrill of the Hunt” by attaching the hook-block to the right arm and the chainsaw-block to the left one of the original figure. Enjoy!
The much-later TakaraTomy release of this toy, in the tenth and final wave of Takara Animated product, has slight paint differences from the Hasbro version. The most instantly-noticeable is that his flame paint is a much paler metallic gold rather than the Hasbro version’s richer, yellower metallic gold. The Decepticon symbol on his chest is now purple with a white border, instead of the borderless gold of the Hasbro version; the black symbol on the roof of the car mode is unchanged.
Blazing Lockdown was retooled into BotCon 2011 Wildrider.
