    I always loved my Cybertron Downshift figure, but didnt care for the show or the character. Wasn't a fan of the new character with Wheeljack's head.
    Ever since I first saw Lockdown, Downshift reminded me of him, so I finally went ahead and made the changes to turn him into a classics 1980's style version of Lockdown.

    Features-
    Head with look mixed from all 3 previous figures, mixed with the G1 standard
    Hook claw weapon/tool with articulated handle
    Alt mode spring loaded frontal claw with "stasis-lockdown" stun blaster
    All accessories store on the alt mode for a sort of decked out "mech-tech" mode
    Modified high-powered EMP shotgun (with engine on it as homage to Animated)
    Silenced mid to long range multi-function null rifle
    Rifle and shotgun can be mounted on shoulders

    Yeah at first I really only planned to do a head swap too, hah. Took it a good bit further than that though.

    I added some explanation of his weapons and stuff to the OP.
