    Even though I have most of the samurai IF has released thus far, I didn't think I'd order this bot. The original design render made him look too goofy to me, and I don't have any emotional investment in the character. But the new pics have sold me.

    That’s how it goes for me with IF. I need the Vince McMahon meme image:

    Render
    Resin model
    Full color shots
    In hand

    the Datsun 2.0 look like a pass for me, but as soon as I see how great they may end up looking, I’ll likely pick some of them up. Lockdown here is the same way.

    I’m so psyched about this one.

    wish I could get a voyager version of the same design as well, I’d be happy to own both sizes.

    Well it does look good ans all but i am still bothered by how dark the grey is
    I wish it were more green or light grey to break up the black. Still gonna get it though

    Thrilled by this... and loving the unique look/proportions. Animated Lockdown is one of my favorite Transformers. Reminds me of a Xevoz I used to have...

    I wanna see more about how the legs and crotch skirt move. I'm a bit confused as to whether the legs are completely on the sides of the skirt or move behind it, and how the hips work.

    I wasn’t completely sold on this design due to the generic “just standing there” pose making his wide kips and stick-straight legs look awkward, but I wanted to wait for some more dynamic pics to make my final judgement.

    I think this was the money shot for me.

    That’s a scary looking bot. I’m tempted to get this as a one off from the samurai line.

    Oh my, I found the legs weird at first, but they just reproduced Animated's transformation and that is wonderful, love Lockdown, been ages since I've been that hyped for a transformer figure.

    Now I with the back of the car was more like the animated one, which reminded me of a muscle car... even though it is cool that this looks like yakuza hearse from hell xD

    Yes! Xevoz was such a cool line. I still have the skeleton guy displayed.

    As for Lockdown here, the oddly spaced hips really threw me at first, but he’s a living alien space robot car man so it’s not like he needs human proportions. It’s such a cool design overall and I love Lockdown so I can’t pass this up.

    I still don't need it, but I also still think this is one of Iron Factory's more impressive figures of late.

    Enough with the Iron Man Pose: can your figure throw it back! :lol 

    P.S.: Yes, I'm sure I could find such in the MMC Optus Pexus/Nox threads, but... uh... :rolleyes2

    Was kinda worried the wide leg design would make him look ridiculous, but it seems less egregious with in-hand pics. Looking forward to it

    This release is everything that I love about Iron Factory: uncommon character with a really unique look.

    Looking forward to it. Should be a ton of fun to fiddle with.

    Pretty excited for this guy. Been a while since I’ve got a IF figure, but this dude looks so cool.

    Still don't like the gap between the legs but live the alt mode and the hookchain/whip.
