Paxtin
Eh, I donno. It looks like they just took the design of the movie fig and tweaked it a bit to fit the book's "G1" aesthetic.
But hey, a Generations Lockdown would not be unwanted.
Bass X0
Generations Lockdown to be announced at Botcon 2011.
Darkspeed
FANWANK!
Seriously though, this just made me very excited for this mini-series… First Dai Atlas, now Lockdown… Should be a brutal series to read!
Paxtin
Since I don't follow the comic books that closely I'm a little late to the party, I'm only just now finding out about G1/comic Lockdown. And in Drift's book no less.
The two newbies to the TF universe face off. lol
Ra88
I hope that Lockdown will have a faceplate of sorts at least. I don't think Milne's face style would work for that character.
Bumblebee
FINALLY! The Lockdown cover was the one I was really excited about and FINALLY it's revealed XD. I was kinda thinking they were going to save the reveal for the actual IDW Panel, but oh well; G1 Lockdown is badass
Toxicon
Just wait till tomorrow. There's going to be a TF: Prime character reveal teaser, or something to that effect.
Ra88
I would be more happy with Lockdown if he weren't in a Drift comic. Terrific.
The Ongoing cover has…Really bad art, but nowhere neara s bad as this:
Seriously, what the hell? I can't decide if it's pathetic or just downright terrible. It looks like it was made by someone who just got Photoshop and mucked around with it!
cgibsonREX
I was hoping they would drop Lockdown in G1
FanimusMaximus
Ok Im getting kinda pissed by only seeing Transformers Prime Bumblebee.
Smokescreen
Yes, it is. However, many have not liked the direction the story has gone and especially the slow pacing. Plus, there are still inconsistencies to the robot designs from one issue to the next depending on who the artist is that is drawing them.
G1Wheeljack
I'm pretty sure Bots of Science was already released as Animated: The Arrival #3. Wonder why it's being re-released. And holy crap LOCKDOWN BABY! Now I can't decide which cover to get, it's either Lockdown or Dai Atlas
Toxicon
G1 Lockdown? Aww hell yeah.
Spin-Out
Yeah, and then Oil Slick tries to kill Ratchet.
Jericho
Is this still the 'ongoing' series? I haven't paid attention to it, but if those are new faces I just may.
Fort Max
Sector seven series sounds good, might have to get the tpb when it's done.
Fit For natalie
Be funny if it turns out that Lockdown murdered Drift's sensei, too.
Thundershot
HOLY CRAP!
Lockdown in G1!
It's my fault. I put Movie Lockdown on my Classics shelf with Bludgeon months ago.
Odd that Cliffjumper is getting top billing and not Bumblebee for TFP…
Ace Convoy
sector 7 novel sounds good as well.
