    I find that in most situations, if no one says anything, nothing gets done. It applies to a lot of different scenarios.
    Like I've said, there is some idea that it is/was meant to be the Mclaren KSI Drone, which was orange. Since that drone never transformed, a reshell of the car mode could've worked to make him that drone. I would've even been fine with the robot mode as we never saw that drone's robot mode, but alas, we aren't getting it. Hopefully the Chevy Trax drones get done, and in all 3 colors!!!
    I guess we should all keep a close eye on our local Rosses and Ollies'? :lolol

    I love the colors on this guy. While he is basically the Lockdown Expansion Pack it's awesome to have some of his crew in plastic. I'll get three of them.

    Although they should've been green, it'd be a double homage! To both TFA Lockdown and that green KSI Lambo that never transformed

    This looks pretty good. Might be my first Studio Series purchase!

    I actually like the orange color on this.  It looks better than the grey black of lockdown.

    The orange car is a McLaren. There's a green Lamborghini driving around also.

    Well it’s the KSI transformers. They don’t make sense what so ever. You got 2 headed Shockwave that’s just shockwaves body with two heads. Yeah that was a car some how and you got Boss who they reused into Nitro Zeus who I think was also a car but turned into a jet in the next movie.

    I liked the movie transformers up until the end of dark of the moon when they just stop transforming and just start morphing into vehichles. Granted that was what KSI transformers did but come on. In dark of the moon you literally see Sentiel morph into a fire truck at the end.

    Lockdown at least transformed...from a decently small sized car into a robot that matched height with Optimus...

    This guy represents Lockdown’s generic mercenaries in case you didn’t notice because of how irrelevant they are.

    They may not look the part but are technically on-screen characters. The only true non-screen character in SS as of now is Thundercracker.

    I'm sympathetic (to Rodimus Supreme, Mattymo, ObakaChanTachi), but it needs to be a character with a bit more legitimacy for me. My shelves are getting crowded.

    To be fair most of the Movie line figures in the past that were never in the movies tended to be the best ones IMO...

    Mindwipe, Banzaitron, Bludgeon, SpaceCase, Longarm, Brawn (a decent placeholder until the G1 version finally released now he's re-purposed as the Wrecker Ironfist) and countless legend class Movie figures. If the one in question now had that same quality, I'd be on board.

    I've got to say that the new Lockdown mold is actually quite nice, and this is coming from someone that finds very little value in the SS line.
    That said, the only reason I could ever see myself buying this repaint is for the head. No way I'd drop another $20 on the mold, though.

    One does not simply forget ROTF Lockdown. He was one heckuva figure and a remarkable work of engineering Hasbro sadly can’t replicate today anymore.

    I honestly can relate. Im CHUG collector but I like the movie lines and have all the Decepticons from the past few years and they’re just in boxes when I’m not messing with them and I feel bad.

    I did pick up lockdown because of this news and he’s wonderful!!

    The sculpting and design of both heads makes me wish it gave Generations line the inspiration of making a Deluxe version of "Animated" Oil Slick.

    Oh, I've got him to which is the reason I don't need that AOE version, thus making the people half reading my post and crying "troll" and "hater" sound even sillier.

    Huh. Hadn't seen that one. Need to check that one out.
    I have no idea what you're talking about. Sentinel Prime never morphed. The morphing started in AOE.
    Oh, so spamming the "thumbs down" emoji and crying for more Siege in a thread about movie toys isn't silly, and everyone else is being silly? Got it. :rolleyes:

    Wow....... After looking through my archives I just realized that I already have a Movie-verse Dropkick to!
    He's a cool pickup truck that me and my son's would have PE Rumble and Frenzy hop in the back of to do drive by's or as their gettaway car.

    Cool memories.
