getting all except rachet my voyager one is good enough for me.

 

HELL YES to all four! I still need a Ratchet to complete my movie 1 Autobots, Brawn is looking very nice in Alt. Mode (plus may be good custom fodder later on for me, too), Skystalker is a Scout so I'll probably buy him on impulse anyways, and lastly Lockdown is much nicer than what his alt. mode looked in those PS pics.

 

Yeah but his point (and mine) is that they didn't change him enough. There's 'character' and then there's 'almost the exact same'. And the Animated and Movie styles certainly are opposite ends/clash.

 

Exactly, he just clashes with the rest of the line too much: even Bludgeons vehicle is pretty close to on-model for a real-world vehicle. They just should have toned it down some.

 

I agree, I really don't know why they made a movie version of that mold - the animated mold is much better.

 

How do you know? Have you handled him?

 

No - I don't have either the animated lockdown or the rotf remold; but the animated has a better (and more believable) car mode, more interesting transformation & better fits the "feel" of the animated line - much more so than this remold.

I've wanted to buy ANI Lockdown for awhile now, but running out of room...  

 

I'm not too concerned with Lockdown being 'too out there'. Most of the movie toys that are not characters from the movie themselves always seem to be much more cartoony anyway (especially during movie one).

A red F35? A blue and yellow Harrier jet? Movie 1 Arcee sporting high heel boots and a haircomb? I get your concerns, but his look isn't affecting my choice - although yes, maybe they could have kept it a bit more realistic, like Crossover Venom's mode.  

It's still totally possible to build a car like that in the real world though.

 

lockdown looks alright, brawn and skystalker are cool, ratchet's mode looks like shit

 

I like Brawn & Lockdown. I wish Lockdown erred more on the 'Classics' style though. I think his alt. mode would fit fine with 'Classics', but his bot mode has too much Bayformer in it. I guess I wish his hands could hold 'Classics' weapons and then I'd be more okay with it.

 

Ratchet looks a LOT better imo.

 

Skystalker and Brawn are bought, don't need a small Ratchet when I have the big one from the first movie and Lockdown doesn't interest me in the slightest.

 

I was thinking the exact same thing.
Hasbro will probably do a green repaint and call it Outback, you just watch.  

Still love the look of the figure though. Can not wait to get one.

I completely agree, and I'm a big fan of TFA Lockdown. (Both character and figure.) But as a movie interpretation, it's kind of a disappointment. The car-mode just looks too crazy to be anything that'd actually exist as a real life car.
That said, I'll probably still pick it up, because I'm a fan of the character, and as just a figure in itself it looks pretty cool.

 

Loving the Lockdown. And Brawn as well. Just got Gears, Thrust and Desert Brawl last week. Starting to enjoy the movie-verse figures more than I should.

 

I honestly want Lockdown and Brawn. They look really cool.

Does anyone else feel that Lockdown's vehicle mode is a bit... too Animated? Like, it doesn't really look like it would fit in real-world very well. It could just be the angle, but I don't know...

Brawn seems a little brown too. The actual NEST Hummers are more grey.

 

You might have missed it. Half this thread is about this fact.  

 

reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly want to see the review on ratchet.

 

Definitely getting Brawn. Definitely passing on Lockdown. The others are meh.

 

Lockdown is so f#ck'n bad-ass!  

But he won't be available until January? Damn it!  

 

Brawn...yes...Lockdown...yes...the others...eh...
