    Wouldn't this make it tougher for a fight/battle between Lockdown and OP to be even? I would think the sheer size and strength of Prime would easily beat a Con the size of the Lambo.

    If the OP getting captured rumor holds true, lockdown may have help in his capture. We don't know if Lockdown would be working alone or if he has his own group of Cons. At this point, I still think Lockdown is working with Attinger and his SOG unit and there may be more cons involved as well. Like maybe the rally fighters. Also, if OP acts as I'd expect, I could see OP giving himself up if it means Lockdown may have captured one of the humans.

    You know, "If you come with me freely, I'll let you're little human friends live" type of thing. Of which Lockdown would just pass the humans off to Attinger anyway lol

    I always suspected the Lambo was a Con. And yeah, if Lockdown has a ship big enough to contain decomissioned transformers and prisoners like Optimus Prime I'd be pretty surprised if he didn't have a crew of sorts.

    I'm still thinking the "Cyclonus" name on the call sheet was a cover for the Argosy. Cyclonus may or may not be in this movie, but I don't think any of us know for sure or know what his exact role is if he is present.

    I never got into TFA so the name has no real appeal to me which is a pity as I love the Aventador. I hope we get a good toy of the character all the same as I'd still want a transforming Aventador... unless the bot mode is horrible.

    If Cyclonus is the big bad it is most likely filling the role of 'The Fallen' in ROTF - essentially being the one the Autobots retaliate against. Galvatron meanwhile would be repairing himself growing slowly stronger and returning in full at the end of the movie before escaping - hence the alt-mode being similar to DOTM to help him blend in for most the film. I don't honestly see why you would have a problem with this considering this universes Megatron/Galvatron is likely a pathetic second-in-command at this stage, desperately attempting to return to power.

    Argosy:

    - Size is too small for Grimlock.
    - Alt-mode is too simplified to be Cyclonus.
    - I remember someone stating that when the identity is revealed for the Argosy it will be the same as when Optimus was stated as having flames...
    - We seemingly have confirmation that
    Optimus leaves delegating responsibility to another Autobot at some point in the movie
    mirroring the events of the original animated film.
    - We know Galvatron at the moment the only figure Galvatron is getting is Voyager class, though their is one open Leader slot
    - Seen in a 'leader' position in front of a bunch of vehicle transformers

    Most likely options is Galvatron

    Galvatron:
    - Chances are high that a resurrected Megatron is given an updated vehicle form. Similar to the reasoning for it being Motor Master - we saw a convoy of vehicles led by seeming the black Argosy in the past. In addition similar to the logic that made many consider it is Nemesis Prime - an anti-Optimus Prime style vehicle mode would work well.
    - Considering the Megatron toys from the last three films they appear to be slowly becoming more Earth-based to blend in and avoid the earth's military response.
    - If Galvatron is to survive the movie he would need a rather subtle alt-mode rather than Cyclonus's rumoured Cybertronian Jet
    - The Voyager class toy would also work well at portraying a vehicle mode such as the Argosy.

    If the truck is revealed to be an Autobot then the most likely option then would be Ultra Magnus who they originally intended to be in DOTM.

    YES! I've always wanted a Lamborghini as a toy! Now he will be the coolest character in my collection, I really hope we see him in robot mode soon! I would love a mat-black finish on a deluxe lockdown :) 

    P.s. My sig is happy!

    Not familiar with the Character "Lockdown" but i remember seeing him in a few clips of Animated, decent character.

    Hopefully the movie version will do him justice.

    Definitely didn't see the Lambo being Lockdown. I'm really interested in seeing the proto-form.

    The Autobots are samurai right? What if Lockdown was a ninja?

    Woo! Glad this is finally confirmed. I knew this was a Con as soon as it was announced (partly because of the colour, partly because all of the Autobots were announced together and specified as Autobots, which is why i still think the Sonic isn't strictly speaking an Autobot per se), and when we saw the Hasbro toy list my immediate gut feeling was that Lockdown was the Lambo. I'm well impressed with my predictive skills for this movie, I'm usually way off target lol

    We probably won't see him in a protoform. He will probably just show up already in this disguise.

    Same here. And I'm with you on the Sonic. I think the Sonic is not a bad guy, but he's definitely not a part of the main Autobot team. I could even see him being neutral.
