Thanks for the back of the head pic. I was hoping that they'd done a helmeted face on the back but sad they didn't.
Since you are into doing some quick modding, what if you take top part of ROTF Lockdowns collar and put it on AOE Lockdown, with AOE lockdowns head of course?
One of my TF peeves is when the forearms/hands are directly attached to panels for the transformation. Totally kills the look. Overally though, I like his proportions. Just need a 3rd party helmet head and it's good to go.
Feeling more and more disappointed at this. He's the main villain of the movie, and they basically rehashed a mold from 2011, except with worse proportions (and arms).
add me to that list. Seriously..I think the flip change one has the best proportions now. Hell, The one step looks like a more screen accurate version in bot mode. I will buy this mostly for the alt mode...im sure ill find some joy in bot mode..but its just funky all around.
Ugh. I'm quite conflicted. On the one hand, he doesn't seem like a bad toy, but man, I really dislike door hands and if he has balance issues, that doesn't help either. I almost wonder if we'll get another version 2 of Lockdown later that has all the bells and whistles, like the hook hand and actual hands, and the green mask, and so forth.
He looks like a good representation... of Lockdown's ROTDS model. Not that I don't like it. I love and hate the headsculpt at the same time. It looks good, but it doesn't capture the essence of how it is in the movie. Lockdown's head design is perfect for a sliding visor, because it's actually designed with that in mind. Just take this head, add a visor that slides over his face, and make no effort to make it compact, and it'll have the same shape as his actual head.
...there's an idea - it might be possible to do this on the cheap with thin plastic bent, shaped & painted to fit the head; but could require piercing the head with a small tack/nail to facilitate folding the visor over his face & up over his scalp...
