Animated Activators Lockdown feedback thread

[Peaugh]

Huh, I looked and searched and didn't see a thread about Activators Lockdown yet. And here I am with a new toy and no camera, and my card reader for my phone is busted. I'll add pictures later this afternoon.





Overall though, Lockdown isn't great, but I think he's better than Bulkhead. The spring that holds his shoulders against his torso in robot mode is a little weak on mine, giving him floppy shoulders (Ratchet has the same problem but not as pronounced), but over all the robot mode isn't bad.



The transformation to car mode is fairly straightforward with a few twists and turns here and there. His car mode is, well, inaccurate is the nicest way to put it. It's definitely Lockdown, but warped a little. It's not quite as bad as Prime's Alt mode.



Overall, I think he's worth Wal-mart prices, but I'd avoid getting him at TRU. That's about the balance point on this one. Prime, while having a crappier alt mode, has a much more awesome robot mode to make up for it. Lockdown's just okay in both modes.

Nice group shot.

Just picked this guy up and I wish I had left him on the peg. I have nothing constructive to say about any aspect of him. "Floppy mess" is the only thing that comes to mind. Bleh. Not quite as bad as Bulkhead, but that's like saying one fart didn't stink as bad as the other.
