    Nice design. The cape is a great touch too.

    Like the old, rusty muscle car, but Bay needs his car collection for his movies.

    If you think about it, Lockdown having an "earth form" at all kinda doesn't make sense anyway. He obviously didn't care much about being seen. And the flying hand isn't exactly subtle.

    It does, actually. Not for the sake of disguise, but for transportation. He's chasing robots that turn into cars. He can't just chill in his giant ship the whole time.

    No, I said "Earth form" not "vehicle form". Megatron kept his "Cybertron form" the whole 1st movie. A Lambo isn't exactly low profile either. Bay just wanted a Lambo to shoot.

    That is just general Grevious with a different face... it doesn't even include any car parts either.

    That's my beef - I like the idea of a suped-up classic muscle-car alt mode (as Lockdown is all about self-improvement), but the AOE robot mode was pretty amazing...

    Looks spot-on to the Animated design... wish they went with this concept, it looks way better

    The robot mode just screams General Grievous.

    EDIT:

    Looks like someone beat me to it. =P

    The design is ok but I actually like his robot design in the movie. Glad they went that route, the muscle car however would've still been great.

    REALLY glad they went with the design that we got.

    That concept is just General Grievous with a few muscle-car bits tacked on.

    I do like the 70s Mustang alt-mode more than the Lambo....though I think if Lockdown formatted himself into a Mustang, it'd probably be this one:

    I'm a little ify on the character design, do like the cape idea for certain "scenes', but they should have kept that car mode! That looks so much better and closer to what most of us know Lockdown in Animated!! Not sure about the rust, sense he wasn't an Autobot in hiding, but a clean that up and would have been 100% better Lockdown car mode. I like the Lambo, but it jusn't doesn't scream Lockdown to me.

    I wish we had that design in the movie. It looks cool.
