Looking good, but he'd better have a gunface face or no deal!

The gun looks like it can be attached to his chest to cover his face. Promising.

Posted by Sabrblade on May 17th, 2014 @ 7:32am CDT

Yeah, the gun he's holding is his face gun from the trailers, so it's possible that it could attach to his head over his face.

he looks really wicked and the gun probably attaches to his face. I am curious for to see BUmblebee in his camaro 2014 concept mode. =P~

Think he'd make a good Rodimus re-tool? The Lambo mode looks nice.

He looks like he has the same build and transformation as Generations FOC Sideswipe and Jazz to me.

Who needs hook hand when you can have facegun? I've already got ROTF Lockdown, but I'll get this one if he can pull off the facegun.

Nope it most definitely did not come from Singapore.
The booklet here did not even show wave 2

Came from Taiwan or Hong Kong or china's booklet.

That was my 1st thought as well. I doubt he's mistransformed, though, as that is the official promo shot from the package of another figure (it looks like).

And yes, he would make an awesome Rodimus repaint.

I must be seeing a different figure to everyone else 'cos I'm just seeing a thug-faced, gorilla-armed mess of a thing.

He looks awfully generic and totally uninteresting. Yawn.....he's a big fat pass. Emphasis on fat. I like Animated Lockdown way better.

Ha, Animated Lockdown is one of the best transformer toys out there, I doubt any toy from this line will beat it.

And I was just saying in the staff emails that if Lockdown were any good, I'd get him. And what do I see when I first log in? This guy.

He looks... okay. His torso looks a little too muscular, but other than that, I'm sure he'll turn out alright. Though, if there's one thing he must have, it's this: weapon-face or bust! [-(

I'm sure some third party company (I'm looking at you, UFO and Fans Want It!) will make a hook accessory for Lockdown. It's almost precedence that it must happen.

Yeah... no. He's certainly not one of the best. There are much better figures out there. >:oP

Meanwhile a friend of mine has spotted AoE in his ToysXL store in the Netherlands! Great, if it wasn't for the fact Generations are not stocked at all. Yawn.

It's a shame they didn't just use the movie-verse Lockdown design we already have.

The car is cool looking at least.

I think ROTF Lockdown beats Animated Lockdown, personally.

I do see where the toy is getting its inspiration but the result is a much wider figure. However, I will say that Human Alliance Jazz always looked wider in his photos and actually resulted to be sleeker in the end with a result similar to the one found in the first film.

Bought me some Scorn, Slug, and Crosshairs.

Scorn is nice. Good figure, fun transformation. I'm fearful that paint on his tail will get gooey at some point.

Slug is pretty good too. He's all the better when you finally get those dino arms to lock into place in robot mode.

Crosshairs is one half of a future Boondocks Saints Transformers edition duo. TBH, I think he's my Classics G2 Drench. Now where are my G2 Autobot stickers...

I also got Leader Gridlock. He's better than you say he is, so shut it.

That's my story morning glory.

Glad I grabbed the figures online, because none of the stores around me did much stocking. Even the region's Targets are bone dry empty. It's ridiculous.

I agree with all of the above, I might add.

I'm not sure why anyone would call this figure anything other than what it is: Lockdown. This is what he looks like in the film, he's most likely mistransformed here, plus what other TF line could he fit in and have a name? Seriously.

It's Lockdown. That's all there is to it. Rather than all of these complaints, I'd rather you guys and gals just didn't buy him and get over it.

More for people like me. People who appreciate these figures for being the awesomesauce that they are. And oh, are they ever.

Street dates don't necessarily mean stores have to put product out, the street date is the earliest a store can put product out.

i was really hoping they'd nail his shoulder designs and his overall proportions.. but it looks like they haven't.. i'm still hopeful we'll get a larger, better, version of him at some point in the future.

well.. duh lol.

but right now targets are having a difficult time practically giving away their beast hunters left overs, which is leaving no room for anything new.. now.. TRU seems to be on the ball. .. once target and walmart get around to stocking their shelves, most people will have already picked up the figures that they want, which in turn will leave target with the same problem.. not being able to sell stuff.

it's a shame, i really like target. but they're dragging their heels.

My thoughts exactly. As cool as Lockdown looks in the movie, there's nothing that shows what he transforms into. No visible car parts whatsoever. To be honest, the only one I see in AOE that shows vehicle parts in there robot mode is Bumble Been in his 67' camaro mode.

Back on the topic of Deluxe Lockdown, its a shame that his toy figure doesn't match his movie version. On the plus side the vehicle mode looks great. Hopefully we'll get a leader class later this year that will give off a bit more detail.

Posted by autobot1979 on May 18th, 2014 @ 7:01pm CDT

The big problem with this line for the toys is the lack of vehicle part on their robots modes. If there is no vehicle parts in their robot modes gets really tough to replicate it with perfection in a toy.
I said this before >:oP

After having all weekend to play with my AoE figures:

Scorn is brilliant in all aspects. Love both modes and the transformation. Only nit to pick is the head - in bot mode he has "looking down syndrome".

Slag has limited posability, but is still cool. His biggest issue is his rubbery swords and the fact that there's nowhere to store them in alt mode except sticking straight out of his sides.

Crosshairs is good; better than the 2007 Movie cars, for sure. Like the basic, simple, old-school transformation.

Evasion Mode Prime is awesome. The cab transformation is a little tricky, but the bot mode is excellent. Great leg articulation makes up for the limited arm articulation. (What's with the weird fake elbows?)

Overall, I think these figures are better than what we were accustomed to in the original movie lines.

The official Transformers YouTube channel have uploaded four new demo videos for the Transformers: Age of Extinction Robots in Disguise line, featuring Construct-Bots, One Step changers, Power Battlers/Attackers and the two Flip/Smash and Change big 'uns - though not the biggest in the line. Click on any of the links so far to check out their respective Seibertron.com galleries, and take a look at the four embedded clips below!

In the first video, they cheated out of Optimus' vehicle mode by using the one from the original movie(s)!

I can understand why they went with the quick change toys. Kids want to mimic the stuff they see on screen. What bothers me is how SO MANY of the toys are like this. There are only a few toys for AoE I think I'm getting. I'll get the one-step Optimus because Optimus but the rest look awful. That's unfortunate.

This is my concern as well being in the engineering field. I love complicated but well done transformations and from what I've seen that seems to be lacking in every figure from this line. Actually, now that I think about it, DOTM had the same problem and I bought nothing from that line either. :-(
