Lockdown was a great villain for the transformers. He wasn’t a decepticon or autobot but he still was a threat. All in all, the perfect villain.
A shame he was underutilized
Personally I feel like if it came down to it lockdown could have killed prime but the only reason he didn't was bc he was supposed to bring him back alive
I mean, I think Sentinal Prime is better than Lockdown
@@josegarcia6997 I think you’re right. Not only that, he was outnumbered.
He wasn't just "a" threat. He was THE threat. Lockdowns sheer battle prowess is unmatched. It took plot armor for him not to kill anyone in the final battle.
"Every galaxy I've traveled, all you species are the same. You all think you're the center of the universe. You have no idea."
no, *you have no idea.*
"I also have a saying. I Don't Care."
Lock down is the only good part of this movie
Imagine if Lockdown became the main villain for TLK as well
to think probably hes also sent by quintessa even if she did she never said anything about lockdown on optimus to hunt him down at T5
Lockdown was always one of my favorite villains, his theme song, menacing look, voice, and general display of strength. Also, he wasn’t just some guy that bossed around Megatron, or a decepticon. Really unique honestly, too bad his only movie makes me want to rip out my hair.
What he said 👌🏽💯
Transformers 4 was awesome tho! 5 sucked dick tho I'll admit
i couldn't agree more🤤 and i also love his british accent too
Lockdown was such a badass. One of the few villains that went toe to toe with Prime and almost beat him.
Only if it weren't for the Humans and bumblebee he would have prime easily
He was no non-sense when fighting Prime. Was serious, he knew Primes power and to not be an idiot like Megatron, who talks way too much in battle. He saw his moment when Prime saved Cade, and siezed his opportunity.
@GREEN LEAF GAMING CHANNEL hell no Prime was whooping his ass in all their fights. In the first one Prime was in a weakened state. In the second Prime was holding Galvatron and Lockdown shot him. And in the third had it not been for Cade Optimus would have taken that to
@@eonragnarock2366 you sure mate lockdown only mentions mortal wounds saying he caused them and the humans let him escape
@@eonragnarock2366cap
Lockdown is seriously one of the most coldest and badass villains in the Live Action film series.
And I wish we would have seen him more in the film.
It’s good to have a villain that doesn’t care about either side
Imagine lockdown just putting bait in a box and waiting for the dinobots to come and once there in the box he just closes it and leaves
The way Lockdown's face seamlessly transformers into a huge gun is just insane.
😂
How is he able to see anything when his face is a gun?
@@stemi67 He has cameras elsewhere, it’s how they see when in their alt modes
I would love to see more lockdown and how he hunting other autobots and decepticons
Lockdown game anyone?
Paramount + lockdown show
@@Theorymus just like boba fett series on Disney plus
@@Theorymus YES YES YES YES YES AND YEEEEESSSS
@@Theorymus yesssss
AoE would have definitely benefited from Tie in Comics like the first three films. They provided backstory and context to the films even if some of that was actually ignored in the films.
You can make an entire movie between the gap of time that goes from DOTM to AOE, not to mention a series focused on Lock going from universe to universe, hunting stuff
There were the Titan comics, but they're weren't canon, though issue 1 was a flashback to the war on Cybertron and Lockdown was a decepticon and ruthless one as well saying that they (him, Drift when he was a decepticon and Knucklehead, a character created specifically for that issue) shouldn't take autobot prisoners so one issue gave Lockdown a bit of back story although not canon.
@@redlion-paladin4609 some of the comics used to be cannon till aoe released
@@Kaidon0 the comics were always in an alternate universe, even before aoe
Lockdown has appeared in some pre-AOE Bayverse tie-in media, primarily in Cyber Missions. In TF Cyber Missions, one episode shows how Ratchet and Lockdown had a kind of rivalry, so the start of AOE can be seen as an instance of "settling the score". This would mean that Lockdown has been active since Revenge of The Fallen. That dosen't conflict with Lockdown being a mercenary hired by the Decepticons, but it does throw a wrench in the idea that he arrived after the Battle of Chicago.
😂
“When I came here, I expected human intelligence. Or is there such a thing?” Yes, Lockdown. And this is a good example, dare I say.
I’m glad they chose this direction with Lockdown. It’s always Autobots and Decepticons and it’s not often that we get something different. I also like how he isn’t some Ex-Decept or Auto, but rather someone who was built for one main purpose.
“Optimus Prime: Lockdown. Who sent you here? Lockdown: Where do you think you come from? You think you were born? No. You were built…
In China.”
I'm going Laugh.exe XD
Lockdown: YOU... ARE...A...TOY!!
Optimus Prime: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!
@@countsam3one434 Optimus Prime: KADE, warn the Autobots!
Kade: AhHhHhHhHh!!!!! *Michel Bay Explosion 💥* END CREDITS....not

Lockdown's sniper mode 0:25 is more than enough to make me love him
So what do you think the green eyes could indicate?
Blue = Autobots
Red = Decepticons
What could green possibly be? Just a neutral side? The creators’ right-hand cybertronians?
why is it always Red vs Blue. why not yellow vs brown or Blue vs Green. Why is the third side always green, when theres a fourth side it is almost always Yellow. What gives? why Red vs Blue vs Green vs Yellow?
@@parkertitle1923 We commonly associate the good side with blue and the bad side with red. Same situation in Star Wars with the Empire or C.I.S shooting red lasers and the Republic or Rebels shooting blue lasers
I think it could mean a mercenary
The Blue and Red eyes doesn't necessarily mean "Good and Evil".
Most of the Autobots were civillians before the war, thus blue regular eyes. Most of the Decepticons were military before the war thus Red Infrared Eyes.
Since they're mechanical beings, they wouldn't call it "eyes", more like "optics"
@@ARG0T Don’t forget TF2 and TF2c
The best part about Lockdown (besides his KO figure, his epic design overall, and his ability to kick the chrome plated ass off of Prime and the dinobots), is he's voiced by the oldest Autobot, the eternal glory of JETFIRE!
@wayne lgoe lockdown can beat prime because hes a bounty hunter.
I remember already commenting here saying that I always thought Lockdown was a Decepticon since he was the main villain in Age Of Extinction when actually, he’s a Cybertronian bounty hunter. It’s a shame that we never saw the Cemetery Wind hunt down the Decepticons.
Love how in the non canon titan magazine comics there's a story of Lockdown working as a Decepticon with Drift and some dude named Knucklehead. That and how in Rise of the Dark Spark, Lockdown just shows up before AOE and battles Optimus, Bumblebee, Drift and Grimlock. Honestly I blame Michael Bay's whole "no more IDW comics" thing for these weird stories. Because if the writers for the comic and game were given just a little bit of story from the film then maybe those entries could line up more with the films and be semi-canon like the Dark of the Moon console game.
Lockdown was just a cool decepticon/mercenary and this video just exactly shows how much of a cold bot he was.
And trans I also want to apologize if in the past I sounded rude in your theory videos I just had some of my own thoughts and wanted to share. Have a good day trans may you have a good day!
If you take another look, "Lockdown" has green eyes also which means he has some of that Beast Wars energy & power running through him as well as something else that might contribute to his power and in the fact that he can overpower Prime.
I always believed that Lockdown was the strongest villain, or definitely strong enough to beat megaton, now thinking about it, I'm not sure about the fallen
@@WeweGombelXD Sentinel Prime wanted to save his planet like all the Decepticons.
i think the fallen was too big for lockdown
When I saw Lockdown in the big screen, ok...
He is more menacing than I really anticipated since the Animated Series because when I found out that Lockdown is the main baddy in Age of Extinction, I was hype and seeing his menacing screentime really intrigued me...
BTW, can you make a theory on what happened to Sam Witwicky? Everyone needs to know Shia's character's legacy in Transformers Franchise if he was alive and living in a normal life or he was killed off before AOE happens...
he wasnt worthy of bee anymore. Also transformers are like trees and live for long periods of time. Whole point of craeting such a charcter is an attempt to explain transformers orgins but even that is done badly. Bye Woman
I got to say your speculations are amazing and make a lot of sense. Keep the Great Work and I really excited to see your "Birth of Cemetery Wind" Video.
Thanks my man, I try to make them as grounded in reality as much as I can, and I am glad it has been paying off 👍
Megatron, The Fallen, Sentinel Prime, Quintessa:
Try to destroy earth and humanity
Lockdown :
"Much as I've enjoy the hunt, I won't miss your wretched planet. Our deal is done. One prime for one seed. Handle it with care, I trust your species already"
I love how years ago, Trans Theories says that he'll make of video of these, then years after he makes them. He keeps promises
It's funny, This video was supposed to come out shortly after the others and I even had part of the script done I guess for one reason or another other projects came forward and this video got shelved until now
I would imagine backstory of lockdown my version :
Once he has a family that lived in cybertron and happily. But at the war of cybertron, he and his family no choice to jump around as a refugee. But the fate worse as at refugees being mistake as enemy reinforcements. Lockdown was the only one survivor. His family gone and lose his insanity until he hate the one who cause the wars: autobots and decepticons
“ Autobots, Deceptions, like little children, always fighting, making a mess out of the universe, then I have to clean it up.”
“Earth? Terrible name for a planet. Might as well call it dirt. Planet dirt.” 😂

Lockdown Was the only transformer that made me Terrified. Good job on the Video Dude!
Thx 👍
@@Theorymus your Welcome!
I think i do agree with what ur saying about Lockdown vs Prime just not the wording of it, ¨stronger¨ is where i think Optimus wins, but Lockdown is more powerful due to his cunning, tools & intellect, more efficient & effective. You gotta remember when Megatron kills Prime in T2, it's quz Optimus looks out for the humans, here again Lockdown gets the advantage quz Optimus shifts his focus. If Optimus goes ALL out, i think he wins, & can adapt to Lockdown as well. IF it is a fair 1v1 with only themselves and their blades
Hey man thx for always providing us with good answers about these theories😎💯
Anytime my man
Could you imagine how good bayverse could have been if the writers gave a fraction of the energy you have to making story connection make sense.
"Autobots, Decepticons... always fighting.. like little children, making a mess of the universe, expecting me to clean it up"
Idk why but its 1 of my favorite movie quotes ever i love that line
You should do a "What if Jolt was actually Important" video I bet it would be great
he was important.... for like 5 seconds XD
Mans still uploading my childhood movie. RESPECT
😎
The Bayverse is not over, this is due to the fact he is still helping make Rise of the Beasts so, I suspect that Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal will come face to face, this is confirmed in beastwars, it shows a part of Optimus Primal meeting Optimus Prime, but... There is a pattern, apparently in beast wars, Megatron was the one that made Cybertron technorganic, and Megatron is here in the present plus he made contact with Quintessa and I assume that he wanted the planet technorganic. At least this pattern makes sense to me
12:44
Can't wait for this, I wonder if you'll talk about Cemetery Wind's true Cybertronian kill count here, i've been waiting for someone to do that using all the up to date info about who did and didn't get away.
I would love to see a movie with just lockdown hunting all the knights
one thing to add to the fact that lockdown did fight in the cybertronian war is the line where he says something like the autobots and the decepticons are like children. the thing that made him think of the two factions as children is the fact that are constantly fighting which he would have only known if he has been to cybertron and saw the war first hand.
Hey friend, your explanation videos are just sick! I was waiting for a video regarding Lockdown (maybe he was kinda villain but my favourite) and just wow amazing investigation done by you. All these questions were finally answered. Many thanks bless
It was definitely a missed opportunity for the filmmakers to not introduce the Quintessons in TLK.
"They slaughtered Rachet. I'm going to tear them apart."
What i ask myself is how TLK showed us, the autobots were on Earth before World War 2, but Transformers 2007 showed us them coming to Earth way after that
Transformers 4 was a visual masterpiece
His face/head gun is B.A 🤘. Very powerful weapon
I still think Optimus is stronger, Mexico City sounded like an unfair fight, he actually beat lockdown in Texas and was still wounded, also not a fair fight cause he got shot in the back dealing with galvatron, and the final fight he was beating lockdown and let his guard down to save Cade. Just my opinion though
Agreed
Optimus only won because of Cade aswell, because Lockdowns back was turned. Bee literally got onehit K.O from lockdown.
@markykrajky643 cap. Lockdown solos Optimus
I'm sure Lockdown was notorious for other reasons, and not just hunting the Knights. That might have been his main hustle, but wasn't the only one. And it's very likely everyone knew he was stronger than Optimus and Megatron. Well, Optimus at least. Despite Megatron losing every time, he lost twice because he was weak after his resurrection, and twice because he was outnumbered. So we don't actually know if Lockdown could take Megatron, but he sure as hell is stronger than Optimus.
According to Lockdown's Wiki and Lockdown Was A Decepticon one during The War For Cybertron And Lockdown Did Abandoned The Decepticons Because he ended up becoming a bounty hunter to hunt down Optimus Prime
I think Optimus is still stronger than Lockdown. The first battle had the help of humans, the second battle had him shooting in the back twice from afar, and the third one had Optimus distracted. The battle during the car chase had Optimus winning (technically. He was still keeping up with the chase, so not at full effort), and he was winning before the tide turned in the final battle.
Why do you think Optimus went specifically to Quintessa if Lockdown was working for the other creators? Was Optimus going after them 1 by 1, and Quintessa just happened to be the only one that’s alone?
@@WeweGombelXD It’s not like Lockdown was able to land fatal hits during that fight anyway even if he was planning to kill, unless if he sticks the sword in his head, but that again takes Optimus’s distraction into account. But yeah, I forgot about the factor that Lockdown wasn’t trying to kill.
@@WeweGombelXD Lockdown’s strength seems to just come from his technology. I feel he trapped the dinobots, which isn’t an actual fight. Megatron seems like the strongest, only behind Optimus with flight tech and Dragonstorm.
The thing that fascinates me about the Bay saga is that the best movie villains (Sentinel Prime and Lockdown) aren't even Decepticons...
What if Optimus Prime's memories were forced to be dormant and once he saw the knights terminus that's what rekindled the old memory
Can you please do a What if I survived Sideswipe, Jolt, and Arcee video were Jolt gives his life in AOE to save prime where Arcee survives the entire franchise from ROTF we’re Arcee and Bumblebee would being a great team and having a possible romance in TLK and even helping out Bumblebee in bringing prime back from being Nemesis Prime, with Sideswipe assisting Hound in TLK where Sideswipe would keep the Deceptions at bay for Hound to escape the junkyard where Sideswipe would give up his life fighting the Cons and refusing to give up the location of the talisman.
Also, can you do a bit of What if I survived bit with Arcee and Jolt if they had Starscream still alive where Jolt and Arcee never died.
The Dude beat the crap out of prime thrice. My man is ruthless
I like the details, but for me being stronger is different than being skilled or you could be both. Technically we could say that Lockdown could hunt down TF1 Megatron and still says Megatron is stronger. We could say that by basing how many shots did it took for him to knockdown Optimus or even before he made him lock in stasis. He could literally hunt TF1 Megatron in the distance with his precise arsenal, backed up by his popularity to fellow transformers. On the strength hmm personally I think it is a bit messy on bayverse these are my thoughts...
In terms of strength scaling in my opinion:
TF1 Megatron> TF1 Optimus, we could basically see it in the enire movie and their final fight scene. So in this case size really matters since megatron could easily throw optimus at that time
I could back up size matters especially until TF DOTM because in TF ROF...
Megatron has a new form and not on his TF1 mode anymore and because of that TF ROF Optimus could almost have a good fight with him before being killed, Prime almost win but you get what I mean, Megatron nerfed, Optimus almost won...
In that same time The Fallen is much larger than prime or so I presume... and Prime definitely needed an upgrade just to won against Megatron and the Fallen... He killed The Fallen and damaged Megatron so bad...In the DOTM... if size doesnt matter then optimus could easily defeat shockwave with his giant pet, but at that time Optimus needed an upgrade auxiliary to fight against Shockwave and his pet...
Based on these, we could actually say that size affects strength, but having more arsenal, being quick or skilled could with a fight...
Here where I began to mess up... Since Optimus could regenerate, is true then that AOE Optimus is stronger than the first 3 movies normal version of Optimus...
Optimus basically knock down Grimlock who is wayy larger and a legendary warrior, a cybertronian knight. We could still say that Optimus is not stonger than grimlock but the force of Optimus on his strike is enough to knock him down... again having the skill won against strength..
For the final fight at AOE I think Prime was still holding back since he does not want to hurt yeager and based on Optimus feats Only the top guys could easily fight him or defeat him...
I definitely think Lockdown is more ahead on weaponry and assassinations, more skilled on that field but lets not forget Prime is a knight, throughout the bayverse he used many form of weapons and based on some sources he is mastery of it too.. I do not know it is just I hope Lockdown and Prime fight has been a lil bit different you know with their strength and mastery of skills they could brought a different fight scenes. It is jut my opinions though.
I mean well the first 2 times Lockdown beat prime he sniped him and the third time he had help. One on one I think it could go either way
I think the huge scratch on Lockdown's chest is where his faction insignia was so he tore it off to make himself a mercenary.
My theory is that lockdown is a former cybertronian knight and the reason why everybody knows him is because a knight who was kicked out in some way for some reason would he something a lot of cybertronians would remember and the main reason I think this he is a knight is because he’s the only other transformer besides the knights to have green eyes.
Hey @TransTheory I have been asking on several videos what happened to the Allspark shard that was given to revive Megatron from ROTF with and how does he controls it's power during DOTM like in the games and what happened to it after his body was melted by KSI on Age Of Extinction or before that and since we all know from the Fallen himself that the Allspark couldn't be destroyed and can only transform does that mean Megs still has the power of the Allspark Shard and was it the source of his control over the KSI Drones?
Further more I would like you to make a video where you explain on what happened to Optimus Prime's Matrix and does he still have Jetfire's spark fused with him the same sark that has the smaller shard Sam uses in Rotf to remove Jetfire from Stasis?
My fav character from the movies, along with Iron Hide
This is so awesome 👍💯💪🙌🤩 video, hi Trans could you do one on Sentinel prime and his origins story, as well keep up the great work and sending you positive vibes mate 👊💯.
Thanks my man! That would be a fun idea 💡
Hey TransTheories What if Optimus prime NEVER Killed Sentinel prime? ( 🤔 )
We know that Optimus is old as hell (Orian Pax was in if the original 13 Primes). My guess would be that Lockdown was probably an early model of transformer, as in before autobot and deception. And when the factions split he left cybotron and started bounty hunting/mercenary. We know he dosent only look for Transformers because we see that he has biological life in his ship as well. And as far as him tracking the primes, I imagine quintessa wanted more then just 1 knight to rise and help turn the tide for Primus v Unicron, as well as all of the biological life on lockdowns ship could have been used to mesh species together
Dude, I was literally just thinking about you and your vids. And LITERALLY a minute later, here you are with a new vid. Awesome.☺☺☺
Haha 😄
I wonder why lockdown didn't feel that galvatron was Megatron?
He didn't care about him
When does Transformers 1, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Transformers: The Last Knight take place?
I got introduced to him in transformers animated.
Me too.
Somehow Lockdown’s face reminds me of actor John Saxon who often played bad guys in 70s films
Oh hell yeah, another vid!
I got another idea for you, bro: What if Ratchet had given up Optimus's location to live?
That's a very good question 🤔
I grew up watching Transformers g1 cartoons in the 80s and in the original Transformers cartoon film, the creators are on another planet after they escaped the transformer uprising on Cybertron. They've been after Optimus Prime and the other autobots since then. The film explains the storyline the best. I suspect Michael Bay based some of his film plot from the original cartoon storyline.
Lockdown is my favorite transformer!! And he suffered a cheap cowardly death. Same with Ironhide who was my favorite before Lockdown.
anotha banger video, lockdown was one of the biggest highlights in aoe
"All these spices mixing with spices it upsets the cosmic balance the creators they don't like it they built you to do what your told"
TRANS IS BACK WITH ANOTHER UPLOAD! 🎉
The first one and this one are my favorite in the series
I like to think as barricade as a mercenary of some sort like maybe working with lockdown or something this could explain how he knows so much about the atuobots and depictions and what are the weaknesses of opimus prime
We need a lockdown movie spin-off. Showing how he got all his trophies
Ngl watching your videos made me wanna rewatch all the films in a new light
Haha, u really appreciate that 👍
I really want to see What if Optimus prime NEVER Killed Sentinel prime Video Next!
Id always thought lockdowns mercenaries were actually duplicates of him since they look like roughly the same size as him, possibly he could have found some kind of cloning technology on another planet similar to cybertronian tech with the downside lacking t-cogs giving the clones the inability to transform into anything. The steeljaws ones are interesting since there isn’t much known about them. They could have came from the same planet with the cloning tech I mentioned expect they were mass produced and abandoned probably since we do see only a few of them
Lockdown was easily one of the coldest transformers
another video could be what if galvatron actually fight the autobots and prime in aoe
Wow, i always thought that Lockdown was working for quintessa. But it was the "Creator(S)" another knowledge of Transformers from Trans Theories, thank you
Thank you for this video
Your welcome
If i was CEO of Hashbro or if i get chance to planning of transformers movies.
1st 2-3 movies i will plan bunch of character's & Trust me i will start solo character's movies and my 1st movie on Drift and second one is on lockdown these two are badass
Video ideas what if I survived que,canopy,Shockwave and the fallen. Fixing transformers volleybot. And deleted transformers ideas
The reason the autobots knew lockdowns name is because back on cybertron before all of the movies he was a bounty hunter
6:45 - 6:53
Well to be fair, Lockdown was just about to kill Cade, and I think Optimus had to act quickly to save Cade's life. Don't worry, I get what you mean, just thought I'd point that out.
I didn't know that Slug had an Autobot symbol
Finally a villain that is my favorite Michael bay movies.
Lockdown picked up Optimus' messages at the end of the first movie and second movies. That's how he learned of Earth.
Optimus practically waived a huge flag across the universe saying I am right here. Remember the to all autobots I send this message to you blah blah. Lockdown couldn't help but detect it.
I know I’m late but I believe his message is called a message to the stars
If a cybertronion wanted to blend In become a Prius of a crv

I just wish we see lockdown in the new reboot movie series
Oh Thank you! mr.Trans Theories for the theories!
Trans!!! can you pls do that vid, where where the AoE autobots during the last transformers movies! IM DYING
I plan to do it in the future 👍
Been waiting for this!!!
It was Quintessa who send Lockdown to bring Optimus Prime to her.
No she wasn't the one who sent Lockdown
