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.

[@greendecepticon6148]

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.

[@leetri]

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.

[@greendecepticon6148]

@@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'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.

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.
