    Figures that this would be the most screen-accurate Lockdown released.

    Of course, most of the bot designs for the movie are screaming for Robot Replicas or Action Masters, as there's almost no way to make screen-accurate versions otherwise.

    Seriously. What are the point of these? Just a big waste of plastic. Use the plastic to make this crap and make the deluxe, voyager, and leaders bigger.

    That was probably the flip-change one or whatever. I saw one of those at Target, it looks very similar to this one in-package.

    This portion of the line isn't aimed at collectors. You're all idiots if you think whining on a message board aimed at one of their smallest markets about how it's "fugly" or "won't sell well" will make any difference.

    Sure it's ugly, not a lot of paint apps, etc etc.

    A pre-school kid (who this is aimed at) will love things like this!

    Sorry, but my 8 year old son thinks they are dumb also! These things clog the aisles at all of the major retailers.

    Yeah, still not sure about these. The 1-steps and power battlers I get, but these are just huge figures that don't do a lot. If Hasbro really want to do non-transforming figures I'd rather they did smaller, detailed, screen accurate figures that come with a separate alt mode aimed at collectors as display pieces, which would solve the problem of trying to figure out the transformations and avoid kibble...

    Ugh, this is not what I wanted when I said we should get a non-transforming Lockdown that's more movie-accurate.

    Your kid's eigth and still in pre-school?

    Your attempt at humor failed! Of ourse he is not in pre school but I am quite sure this the age range they are targeting. If this the direction you want to take it, it's eight not eigth jackass.

    Did it, though? Are you the huuuuuumor police?

    It's not, though.

    They are for little kids. LITTLE kids. 4+ on the box. Hell, that's honestly probably a generous 4 right there.

    Tahnx mna.

    I've seen enough clueless parents buying these for their kids and young kids going "oooh Bumblebee!" when they see them on the shelf to know that they do indeed sell remarkably well.
