    Such a great character and Bay just had to kill him off. He should've been a recurring character during the trilogy. He was the best villain to date and could've easily been developed more throughout the series. I'm sick of megatron/galvatron, he's boring and I wish he would just stay dead

    If Bay didn't kill off transformers every movie then they would actually become developed characters, as opposed to flashy machines that just spit one liners, he's a joke

    Lockdown shouldn't have died, but as long as they take a different route with galvatron than just megatron again, Ill be okay

    I still say Galvatron will resurrect him in some form. And I do agree with a new direction for Galvatron I want them to drop these macguffins at some point and get back to cons siphoning off Earths natural resources

    He's voiced by Frank Welker. Honestly, that's enough for some fans.

    How can Galvatron resurrect him? He got his faced chopped in half and then exploded via his own grenade from optimus remember

    well he seems to have some crazy powers now and he could acquire more somehow? your right Lockdowns a mess for sure, but I think anyone could be brought back at this point if the writers want it to happen they'll make it happen

    I wanted to see lockdown in a sequel too. Heck I wanted to see him help defeat the decepticon army with the autobots. All of lockdowns story lines make him a bad guy yet he has no alliance. There should be a story where he is on the good side. Maybe the creators have a back up saved somewhere to bring him back.

    I would've preferred that he stayed neutral and started hunting both galvatron and optimus, following the orders of the creators

    I wouldn't say he's wasted potential because he totally delivered hard in the movie itself, but he definitely got Darth Maul'd.

    This is still something I would like to see it is always lockdown vs autobots never lockdown vs decepticons.

    I thought Lockdown was one of the better used villains. He should've survived, though.
