TOTALLY DUG AOE - but had to hit the head, so I missed a chunk after they got to the gas station But, as a whole - I thought it was great & really hope they keep the darker tone going (shouldn't be a concern, considering...).
It's cool man, don't trip. I see your point, it's just awkward seeing a Lamboo take out a big rig. Lockdown does look really strong though, alot stronger than Barricade or Soundwave.
First of all, sorry for responding so late. Please forgive me. As for your question, I have two answers. If Lockdown captured and imprisoned Grimlock on the Knight Ship without help, then he should be at least as formidable as Optimus Prime. If Lockdown had help in capturing and imprisoning Grimlock on the Knight Ship because he couldn't do it on his own, then perhaps he became more formidable between the time he captured Grimlock and the time he fought Optimus. Also, you have to consider that before Optimus became distracted by Attinger's attempt at Killing Cade, he was actually beating Lockdown. It's only when he dropped his guard to save Cade and Lockdown attacked him from behind that he started losing the fight.
I'm going to wait on the rental. With the way things have been going with the family and all I've had to do around my house it's just been too crazy to work the film into the schedule of my local theater.
