Lockdown’s face gun in AOE needs to be a staple of his character for all future appearances. It’s the stupidest, yet coolest thing ever.
Can he still turn his head when it's a giant gun or does he have to turn his whole body
Lockdown: “Hey, mind if I tell ya something?”
Random autobot: “Yeah, shoot”
Lockdown: (Gun noise)
Honestly
'Cause aiming if I can just turn my head where I want to shoot, It doesn't sound so bad that Sniper is so cool
It reminded me of the classic series Megatron and Shockwave with their gun alt modes. I was like finally! Return of the Glockcepticons!
I can't believe the movie version is more accurate than the cyberverse version
And thats why not all of us can take cyberverse serious
Cyberverse is rarely accurate.
I actually prefer the cyberverse design of him though.
I love Cyberverse, Lockdown is really the only thing I don't like about it.
Most of the characters in Cyberverse are accurate depictions of the characters for the most part. There are only a couple of anomalies to try something new.
Attinger: "On this planet, we have a saying; The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Lockdown: "I also have a saying; I don't care."
Attinger would later contradict this in the end during the final battle.
"You promised me human intelligence! Or is there such a thing?"
The only character in the bayformer who's personality matches the one in his cartoon and comic appearances.
@@CayeDaws So what?
@@m.a.k.dynasty4504 It means Lockdown's the only decent character within the entire Bayverse... and he was wasted.
Oh look, a character that wasn't offlined by a cosmically powered Starscream
Ah I see you are interested in the exceptionally rare
well he was lucky enough to not be around when the G1 comsic startscream happened....
He was created to replace Death's Head, who's owned by Marvel.
Shhh... don't jinx it
SeekersBlue917 _ damn, you beat me to it.
This is rare.
A character that wasn't previously part of DiAclone
ArcticKaiju and wasn’t offlined by a cosmically powered Starscream
And wasn’t a Heeeeeeeed master
@@SamHesitation , nor by Decepticon controlled Optimus Prime
@@SamHesitation With no connection to Bob Budiansky.
@@SamHesitation he was almost offlined by a cosmically powered stars team and then Optimus used the matrix
I can't believe I'm going to say this
But Michael Bay did a better job representing the original spirit of the Character than any other piece of transformers media.
I mean he got B and megatron right kid appeal and magnificent b******
And G1 optimist was a psycho I mean Ordered the construction of the dinobots
Despite them having no need for them and when they act it'savagely as new life with the power of a f****** dinosaur probably would you ordered their destruction
He also allowed his autobots to put spikes mind in a robot and when spike Freaked as any Normal Person Would I'm pretty sure he shot him That's a child That's a 14 year old boy having a mental break down because you allowed your idiot to put his mind in a robot
The first time I saw Lockdown was even in Age Of Extinction and I didn’t even know there where any other versions of him until now
Out of all the characters in Bayformers, Lockdown was the most accurate to his origional...characterisation that is. However I thought his design in AOE fit that versions personality.
I still prefer the rotf design though along with his mad max muscle car mode however. His design and car mode in aoe seemed don't stand out much compared to other bayverse villains and decepticons. He's just another dark color villain and a lot of bayverse characters are already expensive super cars.
I really didn't like the AoE Lockdown. He just looks like a big human with metal skin and the most generic car mode you can get in a live-action movie. He wouldn't be out of place as generic mook #541 that's meant to be killed en masse by the heroes. I'd be ok with it if they put some car parts anywhere on his body so he actually looked like a Transformer, and they should've gone with a muscle car instead of yet another super expensive luxury car like everyone else.
It's a shame and a wasted opportunity, because the original design just oozes character and stands out a lot compared to the others.
@@leetri yeah that's pretty much what I was thinking. There is early concept art of him with a more alien design and classic green and grey muscle car. I would have petered something similar to that but with more bulk.
That Leetri Guy I actually really liked his design in AOE. I don’t really think his original animated design, which I too like a lot, would fit in a live action movie. And the reason why they looked more human was cause people were complains of the complicated design of the first three and not be able to tell wtf is going on. I never had a problem with that but that’s the general consensus I get. But I do see your point on being too human like
@@patrickgancarczyk6199 not the exact animated design but I wish he had more green color on him and car parts or a design like rotf. His aoe design dosent stand out much to me and seems a bit stock and generic.
Honestly, would have loved to see him in Prime. He seems exactly like the kind of character that the show could have used.
Some of his traits were passed on to Airachnid.
I like to imagine him fight against both sides when its serves his interests.
AoE Lockdown is honestly the best villain in the live action continuity, unlike Megatron who got his ass handed to him every movie, Lockdown comboed multiple autobots including Optimus and 1v1ed him and almost killed him. I really enjoy his monologues too, honestly, I hope future incarnations take notes from him. I don’t hate Cyberverse Lockdown, I get he is his own thing but i hope next Lockdown is a more threatening character.
Plus, AoE Lockdown is implied to have singlehandedly captured ALL of the Dinobots.
What about Sentinel Prime he's taken on multiple Autobots and would have undoubtedly killed Optimus had it not been for Megatron.
Brandon Travis Rodriguez The problem with Sentinel Prime is that he's underdeveloped. If he'd had a bit more of a backstory, he would've been a great villain.
@@ltb1345 Have you read the tie in comics that featured him?
Brandon Travis Rodriguez that’s a separate universe
"Thrill Of The Hunt" was the first episode of any Transformers cartoon i saw on tv. An interesting entry point to the franchise for sure.
First episode of any transformers I saw was Rescue bots season 1 episode 18, "Bumblebee to the Rescue". From there I found out it was connected to prime, watched a few episodes of that and I was hooked
@@jonahg4472 Is Rescue Bots worth watching? The series looked like it was targeted for a much younger audience than the rest of the Aligned continuity (even the newer Robots in Disguise), and it certainly doesn't look anything like Prime.
@@grandadmiralthrawn92 I'd say it's worth it, yes it's directed to a younger audience, as I was at the time, but it's not a bad show, personally I find it to be better then RID in some scenarios, but that's just my opinion.
Transformers Cybertron.
I genuinely think Thrill of the Hunt is the best episode of Transformers Animated
Literally every other Lockdown: WHY CANT YOU BE NORMAL?!
Cyberverse Lockdown: *“cries in goon”*
Yeah
He LOCKUP, man.
NOOOOO, THAT DID NOT DO MY GUY DIRTY BY GIVING HIM THE GUN TREATMENT!!!
I haven't touched that shite, I feel like a lot of shows from years ago are ruined for the kiddos.
FAWKING teen Titans, total drama island are a couple of examples of that SACRILEGE!!!
@@thelordofthelostbraincells yeah. it's like these shows are for kids or somethin
Unlockup vs lockdown
It's good that a character like Lockdown has managed to endure so much popularity since Animated, he really does bring alot to whatever story he's in. Great stuff as ever Chris.
I've always found it weird how, in Animated, Lockdown was initially introduced as an old enemy of Ratchet in his first appearance, only to become Prowl's arch enemy in all subsequent episodes. If you just watched his first episode, you'd think he and Ratchet were going to constantly be battling each other as the series went on, but no. It somehow still works, but always just struck me as a strange choice.
IDW Megatron anti matter ability is pretty cool. I would also steal his cannon if I could!
I would steal....his spark 😍
@@xRaiofSunshine lol 🤣🤣🤣
I wouldn't even dare to steal anything from him .
@@WhyTho525 I think I can take him!💪🏾
The Deceptigod also thought it could take him…
Lockdown; 'I feel sorry for you Prime, your allegiance to these humans. The trouble with loyalty to a cause, is that the cause... will always betray you.'
Optimus; 'Who sent you here???'
Lockdown; 'Where do you think you came from??? You think you were BORN!?!?!? No, you were built!!! And your creators want you back. We all work for someone...'
Low key implying Optimus is from the Dynasty of Primes. Way more subtle than most of the film series.
To bad that plot line is probably in another timeline or whatever since the bay-verse transformers is *INCONSISTENT* AS UNICRON IS EVIL!!!
@@thelordofthelostbraincells Doesn't really matter anymore, movie series has been rebooted with Bumblebee being the start.
So basically the bay continuity ended with Cybertron restored and Earth's new moon. Just ignore Quintessa and things are pretty much wrapped up.
@@DarknesstheHedgehog6 yeah, that's what I was implying.
You can only make so many bad movies until you either make a legitimately good movie or you stop entirely
Lockdown, the spike covered muscle car bounty hunter of the Transformers, no wonder he has put a "lockdown" on the adoration of Transformers fans.
@Brendan Johnson Agreed. A robot Mad Max Boba Fett, amazing. :D
This video made me realize that TRANSFORMERS AOE's story is very underrated. It's portrayal of Lockdown was accurate, at the beginning of the movie he killed Ratchet which in Transformers Animated tells us that Ratchet is one of his rival which explains it all.
Tarn's ability to kill with his voice. Its one of the most sinister powers of any transformer, ever.
@Starscream91 It's the kind of ridiculous deadly ability that fits in transformers.
I think it's creepy to an extent
Nobody:
Lockdown: upgrades, people, upgrades.
He's almost a deranged serial killer that takes trophies from his victims.
@@thelordofthelostbraincells he mostly just takes them offline unless his job was to kill em then it's a quick efficient death
@@ilyte1 same difference.
Potato-tomato
@@thelordofthelostbraincells firstly, finally there's someone who uses potato tomato it's much better than potato potato. Secondly he's not deranged in fact he's very very sane if a bit uncaring.
@@ilyte1 ok, fair point.
Also really, no one else uses potato-tomato?
Lockdown is the coolest. Animated gave us so much, and this was one of the highlights!
Didn’t realise Lockdown debuted in Animated.
Since he was mentioned in this episode, is there any chance we could get a basics episode on Drift? He’s one bot I’ve wanted to learn about for quite some time.
Read spotlight drift. It's a fairly self-contained 4 issue mini series and honestly drift doesn't do much after his introduction as far as I've read. It's really good
@@daltonwilliams1723 That's not really true. Sure, he wasn't as prominent as some other characters in the pages of MTMTE, but his developing relationship with Ratchet was a major focus.
@@chataclysm2112 yeah, but the time between his introduction and mtmte, where he was an actual prominent character, he just kinda blends in with the other characters.
ua-cam.com/video/QJ3kXrt9bo8/v-deo.html
I love the original animated Lockdown, but this is a rare instance where I can say that the live action version of the character was not only the coolest looking one but also the best character-wise too.
I prefer the other designs they are more unique
"Autobots, Decepticons, like a little children, always fighting, making an mess in the universe, then I going clean it up? There is one way to your survive, tell me where is hiding, *where is Optimus Prime?"*
*never*
@@bad2dabohn1992 Never is here...
I'd steal G1 Hound's Holograms, easy. Lockdown's my favourite boxer, BTW, he's got a killer right hook!
I'd steal Optimist Prime's confidence. Maybe I could actually get things done with that.
What’s crazy is back when i was younger i had this character from the animated version this along with jazz and bumble were my favorite toys
If I could take one power or weapon, it would have to be Starscream's Null Rays (seriously, those could be useful, but he's never used them to their full potential).
Also, I really like Lockdown, but that Cyberverse version should have just been another character, like a Stunticon or something.
If the Unicron Trilogy is ever revisited, I feel like Lockdown would fit very well in that setting.
Me: Chris will never do lockdown
Chris: Never is here
You could've also mentioned his role in Rise of the Dark Spark video game, where he is the main villain of the Earth section.
Rise of the Dark Spark is hardly a noteworthy game, though.
@@blam320 I saw a response like that coming a mile away. And it's not. Especially considering what else has been mentioned in the video that many would consider "hardly noteworthy".
@@nexusshark Rise of the Dark Spark was a bad game with an equally bad crossover with the War for Cybertron universe. Like, it was completely unnecessary. They only did it to try and boost sales.
@@blam320 I know. But this video isn't about the quality of the media the character appears in, right? Everyone hates Age of Extinction and Transformers Energon, yet that makes no difference to this video series. Even Cyber Missions was mentioned.
@@nexusshark Age of Extinction is more noteworthy since it's Lockdown's first time appearing on the big screen in cinemas.
I like this character, and am glad he's stuck around. Thanks for confirming he's a homage to Death's Head, I always had my suspicions. And I'd steal Hot Rod's Judd Nelson voice.
Wait does that mean I could steal something from deaths head to let me hop Scott through Marvel and to the doctor who universe then I could steal the target
Movie Lockdown killing movie Ratchet was brutal considering the two characters' history in Animated.
I love the idea of a rivalry between him and jazz. I have always pictured jazz as being very improvisational in combat, quickly adapting to new circumstances and environments easily as needed, which makes an enemy with a constantly changing and unknowable arsenal of upgrades and abilities a very interesting match for him.
Death's Head is a freelance peacekeeping agent, yes? He's rather insistent about not being called a bounty hunter.
Great video! Can't wait to see what's next!
6:26 Q Transformers Lockdown: He stole the powers of the Angry Video Game Nerd?!?
Animated Blitzwing’s fire and ice weapons and his buddy Lugnut’s explosive charges/punches.
As much as I love Trailbreaker, I'd steal his force field generator and magna wheels.
Found the Megatron
waspinator's immortality
Lockdown is like Doubledealer. His action figure labels him as a Decepticon, but in the media, he's not affiliated with them.
Lockdown has remained one of my faves fot so long. AoE really did it right, and he was so badass!
I wouldn't mind filching Skywarp's teleportation power... 😉
I just love the Death's Head shout out.
That cat doesn't get enough love.
As Ratchet once said, *This is a medical tool. You turned it into a weapon*
“You think you were born. No you were built and now your creators want you back.”
What candy is lockdowns favourite
A bounty!
I'd start with skywarp's teleportation ability. It would make it easier to collect other items and bot parts, as well as work as an offensive/ defensive combat maneuver.
I'd steal Skywarp's teleportation abilities if I were him, and unlike Skywarp I'd put it to good use
This transformer was always looking scary to me as a child . I loved watching the same episode where he caughta Ratchet in the tunnel and it was soo scary to me. Anyone else same ?
“An alliance is like a contract, and all contracts, like humans, expire”
Lockdown
One of the best characters in animated in my opinion
agreed
id set my sights high, No less than the Matrix of Leadership, along with other powers and weapons used by Optimus Prime over the years! Or the three Mini-Con Weapons!
Stealing the Matrix of Leadership would do nothing to Lockdown. But it'd be away from everyone else, so everybody would go after Lockdown when they find out he stole it. I don't think his life is worth stealing the Matrix.
If I was Lockdown I would DEFINATELY still Megatron's Fusion Canon! Imagine Lockdown earning THAT! However,It WOULD be QUITE the cost if you know what I mean!
6:37 lockdown really needs to get with AVGN
I would steal either Megatron's arm cannon or Starscream's Null Ray.
Clearly as a skywarp fan i would want that teleportation ability
You forgot one thing.
Lockdown is responsible for Optimus being able to ride a T-rex.
I'd take Lockdown's sexy Lance Henriksen voice module
Who else got clobber confused with lug nut in cyberverse
Me
Everyone!
It's not Clobber. It's Lug NOT.
They could just use the chunky boy
For me in my opinion, if Megatron and Lockdown are in the same room, I don't take Megatron will last long.
If possible, I would take the Matrix or the Enigma of Combination. The Reqium Blaster would be a nice one as well.
I’m always interested on taking Skywarp’s teleportation powers.
So who'd win in a fight between Deaths Head and Lockdown?
Lockhead. I mean Deathdown. Can you repeat the question?
which death's head?
I’d love to see Deaths Head reintroduced to the IDW comics or next animated series
It's time for a Death Battle!!!
@@olyrhys8724 Did you not hear? He is owned by Marvel, so that's unlikely.
Narrator: so you want to be autobot or decepticon
Lockdown: i propose a third option: Mercenary
Soundwave and Lockdown are my 2 favorite Transformers. I love Lockdown's character so much.
Lockdown's such a badass, one of the best characters in an already rich cast if Animated.
Oh and I'd steal Megatron's fusion canon. Because why settle?
I never realized Lockdown was based off Death’s Head. I always thought Lockdown was based off Devcon from the G1 series.
Imagine Devcon vs Lockdown though
Can we just sort of talk about how horrifying Lockdown would be if the transformers were regular humans and not giant robots? Like Lockdown's got some Buffalo Bill level shit going on.
Longarm Prime/Shockwave's extending limbs
I'd take Windcharger's electromagnets. Basically Transformers version of the Force.
The Age of Extinction incarnation is easily my favorite.
Lockdown killing ratchet in AOE was just a dark and good attention to lore. Rip ratchet
I'd steal rodimus's weapon so I could "STOP DA TIME"
you guys have to admit...
lockdown in aoe was the Best incarnation
How did I never notice that Lockdown is definitely based at least partially on Lobo?
I’d take Trailbreakers force field generator.
Explain?
Oh my lord Lockdown goes after bad video games. That, that is now my new fav version.
I’d defiantly take Skywarp’s ability!
Great stuff as always!
Can you do an episode on Cliffjumper? I feel like that Autobot doesn’t get as much love as he should.
We need a Series starring Bounty Hunter Cybertronians, specifically those who are part of Lockdown's crew.
"We all work for someone"
What would *I* take in Lockdown's position? 🤔 Probably Galvatron's nuclear-powered anti-matter plasma cannon. The one he vaporized Starscream with. 😈
Most definitely one of Chris’ best intros!
Honestly, I found out about him through the angry birds game
And actually saw him in Age of Exctinction
All I can say is that my favorite Lockdown is bayformers Lockdown, so...
Lockdown remind me of slade
bounty hunter?
isnt it " freelance peace keeping agent?"
For me it’s kind of a three way tie between Vos’ Removable face, Skywarp’s perfect teleportation, or Solus Prime’s forge. Those three are my favorite powers or tools in the multiverse by far
If he steals the Forge, he'd have to use it practically like UItra Magnus. He'd need a Prime's body part(s) to, well, forge stuff with it.
@@samdalseide5060 true, but he also is no stranger to grafting limbs from other bots on. All it takes is a treasure hunt or a deal and suddenly he’s got a new hand and a hammer that can make ANYTHING
That's why I said he'd need new body parts to make the Forge forge.
If I could steal a power it would be whatever power Optimus has that allows him to defy death (no matter what series it is), I guess Starscream has that power too. lol
I have to say Lockdown is one of my favorite recently created characters, it could be the bounty hunter concept that makes him so cool.
Oh and since I play it all the time, he is also in the Angry Bird Transformers game, he is actually my favorite to play with.
Once again, great video, Chris! Love Lockdown and I prefer his status as a bounty-hunter. Hoping he'll go back to that in the future. As for what power I would take if I were him, I'd steal Mirage's ability to go invisible. That would really come in handy during any mission. 😆
Skywarp’s teleportation
I doubt he’d miss it considering how are you barely uses it.
But how is he going to do his pushed-downstairs pranks without it? /s
Anthony Rousseau Fairpoint
Yea that face sniper gun he transforms into is the coolest. It’s my favorite part
Whether if it's the Animated, Age of Extinction, or Cyberverse Versions- there's no doubt; Lockdown is one Cybertronian Bounty Hunter whom you do not want to mess nor ally with...
Lockdown, alongside with Armada's Scourge & Sideways, Prime's Airachnid, Shockwave, Waspinator, Swindle, Barricade, and Starscream itself- all these are one dangerous combination, and could be the Transformers Franchise's equivalent to DC Comics' Legion of Doom or the Suicide Squad...
In terms of being despicable and a thorn to Optimus Prime's and Megatron's sides
My favorite Transformer.
I would take G1 Starscreams Null Ray(s)
My favorite appearance of Lockdown was in a video game based on Fall of/War for Cybertron, it was called Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark. Although significantly lower quality than the aforementioned games, Dark Spark played around with fascinating ideas like a Dark/Decepticon Matrix, and the existence of the Transformers Multiverse. When the Dark Spark arrived in the Bayformers universe, Lockdown took it an attempt to bring back Megatron (via time travel) and therefore the Autobot/Decepticon war, thereby increasing his business and profits massively again. Of course, he was stopped by Optimus Prime in a grueling bossfight.
There are tons of abilities I would love to get, from Sentinel Prime's Cosmic Rust Cannon and Megatron's Fusion Cannon to Roadbuster's Chainsaw, Mirage/Dino's Arm Blades and even Crankcase/Crowbar's Spear Bombs.
I’d take Cybertron Sideways’ warp ability.
Not gonna lie, I'd steal Lugnut's P.O.K.E.
That Intro was amazing
If I were Lockdown, I'd take the invisibility module from Mirage (G1), and the hologram projector from Prowl (Animated). Causing any future targets some very stealthy mayhem.
Lockdown is busy locking down on Autobots. Lol.
