Title:
Lockdown
Description:
Lockdown (Deluxe, 2010)
TakaraTomy ID number: RD-26
Accessories: Engine
Lockdown’s design strongly homages his Transformers Animated counterpart, but with a completely different transformation. Once again, Lockdown transforms into an amalgam of a 1980s Corvette and a 1960s Cougar, with lots of spikes and a cow-catcher on his bumper. The toy’s Mech Alive feature rotates cylinders inside his thighs as his lower legs rotate, and pneumatic cylinders extend as his Capture Hook is deployed. Unfortunately, the Capture Hook is made of extremely soft plastic, which may cause it to deform easily in robot mode or droop and rub against the floor when rolling him in vehicle mode.
Lockdown may have the most articulated neck ever for a Transformer, having three ball joints and a swivel joint. Craziness.
Similar to his Animated counterpart, Lockdown’s arm-mounted hot rod engine weapon can be removed and can be replaced by Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Ratchet’s weapon. Likewise, Ratchet can store Lockdown’s engine on his roof; it cannot, however, attach to his arm. Interestingly, the plug for Lockdown’s engine is the same general shape as the plug for Animated Lockdown’s EMP blaster/engine, but smaller; as such, it isn’t compatible with Animated Lockdown, or with Animated Ratchet or Ironhide, for that matter.
Much like his Animated incarnation, he is much taller than other Deluxes, being almost Voyager-sized or larger depending on how his digitigrade leg joints are arranged.
This mold was retooled to make 2010 Axor as well as Timelines Circuit. This toy was repurposed as Generation 1 Lockdown.
