And Alfes 2010 of Higehige, Everyday Toys strikes again, this time bringing us an indepth look of Transformers Adventure, TAV-15 Lockdown. Here we can see the figure boxed, and in robot and vehicle modes as well as a comparrison between it and Transformers Animated Blazing Lockdown. All in all, this figure seems to sport a very impressive scheme and alot of paint apps, including a big old Decepticon symbol painted across the mans chest, making him look like a true patriot of the Decepticon Cause! Tell us everyone, do you support the Decepticon cause too? Or are you a part of the oppressive Autobot regime?

Had this deco been on the ROTF mold I would've snapped it right up.

I actually super love this, except for the green windows and headlights. The hook is nice, but the clear green plastic doesn't work with that vehicle mode for me.

i have one and he stands in nice he just has a bit too much movie aesthetic going on with the inverted knees and head sculpt. it's a great figure but a more classics like face and straight legs would be preferable to me.

Looks pretty nice but not nice enough to buy again. With the silvers/greys on black it really just doesn't stand out as much as the very original Lockdown.

Wait, this is news? I've had mine from AE since last Wednesday…

This was a must-buy for me, considering Lockdown is one of my all-time favorite characters. I agree that the deco is pretty cool, but it looks a lot less similar to AoE Lockdown that I originally thought it would. I'm also kind of torn on the Decepticon emblem; it looks pretty badass but Lockdown isn't really a Decepticon.
Now we need to get AoE Lockdown in TFA Lockdown's colors…

Might want to check out the ROTF Lockdown, he fits in perfect in a classics collection.

Just imagine that he skinned some Decepticon and is now wearing their chest armor.

is there a decepticon logo on the bottom of the car mode?

Unfortunately, this version still does nothing for me.
He's fine. but they could've gone for something drastically different, or even an full on AOE colorscheme, and instead they went for something very bland. I don't see anything that would make me want this over the original one, or even as a side version. At least the Dinobot repaints seem to sort of make sense as they complement RID Grimlock (even if the aesthetic doesn't match completely).
However, having said that…if you don't already own an Animated Lockdown in any form I guess this one is good for you. It's not awful or anything.

only thing I don't care for is the eyes. I wished they would have left them unpainted, and let that brilliant translucent green light pipe through…
other than that, he fits in well with my Lockdown collection.

Yeeeeaaa boooeey! I have him in my pile of loot as we speak along with CW Ultra Magnus, Cyclonus and Hot Spot! I bought Animated Lockdown in '08 so I already know and own the mold but I'm loving these colors! I think his colors POP more then the original.
I never liked his color scheme too much anyway i just liked him as a character. Now I can like both. Character and deco
@ deceptigtar; Don't you think Q Lockdown's colors are based off the original? I think these colors here are probably based off Age of Extinction its probably their intention. What do.you guys think?
optimusmegas
if this guy had a new head so he'd fit in better with a classics line he'd be perfect. this mold is great i have the original and the blazing one from animated but i still wish the head didn't limit it to a specific line.
i'm debating this i really like the deco.
Deceptigtar
I think it is more based on his style in the Q series.

Looks nice, but not sure I can justify buying this mold a third time.
Boy Blunder
Might look into getting this one. The deco is very sharp, even if it's a little on the monochromatic end, and he's perfect repurposing fodder.
Repurposing into who, I don't know.

I'm not all that sold on the Decepticon logo motiff on the chest (as I prefer Locckdown factionless, even if his toys refuse to do that.)
Wheeljackie
I like the AOE colors. I think it looks great on him. I am so glad I got him preordered and paid. He was one of the best figures from TFA.
