    While I LOVE this idea, I personally find the head a bit too small for the body.

    But if the head could somehow be made bigger to match, I'd totally steal this :D

    If they made more than one Lockdown with this head there might be some options. There's what, at least three lockdowns with a green circle for a face? :rolleyes2 

    As an optional feature that would be wonderful- as all he has I'm less than impressed.


    If you look at the picture of Lockdown next to prime they're the same height with similar builds and their heads are pretty much the same size. Personally I think his head is actually much more appropriately sized for this body than the one he came with. But that's me.

    I agree on the lack of decent AOE Lockdowns :redface2:  As for the head size, to each his own. If it was around the size of the original ROTF head, I think it'd be better. On a related note, I love how you used the old neck as a makeshift collar

    Ooooh, looking really damn cool! Might be worthwhile to try and make it look like a regular muscle car? Get rid of the spikes and the engine (giving him a skeletal thin arm), fill in the gaps left in the hood, maybe a new nose...If a PRID Cliffjumper is big enough you could steal some parts from that. That is if you really want to take this further. But even as is it looks wicked!

    I know some think a bigger head would be better but I actually really like this size of head on it.

    Nice idea.

    But seeing that face on that figure is probably going to show up in some bad dream.

    So far, I like what I'm seeing. Really I haven't seen anybody use the Blazing Lockdown paint job/deco for Movie Lockdown yet. Just a thought...:wink:

    I'd paint it up fully like Animated Lockdown. THe thing I dislike the most about AOE Lockdown is the complete lack of any colour on him.

    I'd recommend sanding away the spikes and giving him a movie style paint job with some hints of green and brown. Secondly, fix the gun face issue. You have to.
