    Did anyone else notice that lockdown's "hook" in the film was actually a mountain climbers pickaxe? I love how they actually gave him a tool that a bounty hunter like him would actually use that makes sense, like when he used it to climb the farm silo and grab optimus's foot, as opposed to just a pirate's hook just because he's lockdown.

    Its just little details like these that really makes lockdown's design stand out above all the others as the most badass.

    Didn't notice exactly what kind of hook it was, but I did like that he used it for climbing.

    Nice observation

    That's awesome, great catch.

    He must really love those high sniping positions.

    This is an extremely cool observation.

    Shapeways gods, if you bestow us with a mask and a hook for the Deluxe figure, I might actually consider buying that Lockdown XD

    it didn't exactly look like that.

    and what would be the connection between a bounty hunter and a mountain climber?

    i do agree though it was cool.

    ^No real connection but it just shows how versatile he is, which is something you need when you're a bounty hunter.

    Like I said above, sniping seems to be a thing of his, so he often likes to climb to high positions.

    Yeah!! Lockdown was the best villain I've seen in a while.. I didn't want to like him, but wound up captivated every time he was on screen.. I was humming his theme music as I left the theater.. He is truly bad a$$!!!!

    I was going to say it looked more like a bug arm not a normal mountain hook.

    It also says to keep spoilers out of the title of threads, everyone knows he has a hook.

    I noticed that it was actually a climber's axe back when the first trailer that had him transform debuted. I didn't really think much of it, but it's cool as hell that we actually get to see him using it for its intended purpose.
