    I reviewed the heads and showed how they look next to the originals if anyone's interested.

    The only ones that are still kind of a pain to install are bovis and fortis' due to how finicky it is to get at the screw and then have the two parts hold together when re tightening it.

    Looks like MMC did ship Jaegertron with Carnifex since BBTS has this in stock as well.

    Any QC issues that's been pointed by people who've received this so far like loose shoulders?

    Yup! (I painted Fortis' eyes gold to match the toon, to help distinguish him from Bovis). And it can very finicky to get that screw back in. But an actual differently-sculpted face will be even better.

    No QC issues. Shoulders on mine from toydojo are ice and tight. No floppiness.

    The common QC issues I'm aware of are the outer forearm flaps being a little loose and the hips forward back motion (the non ratcheted part of them) being a bit loose (relative to the weight requirements of the figure overall) and the tolerances of the wing sections that tab in to the arms being a little off to the point you really need to tightly push everything together in alt mode to get it all held together well. Luckily of those the only potentially problematic one is the hips and they can easily be tightened.

    Mine also has a loose back wing and a missing paint ap on one of the swords but the former doesn't stop it from sitting where it needs to anyway and the sword is getting replaced for free.

    Not like this. And he was a car also, not a random space jet.

    He was nothing in the comics so far, his altmode was never shown.
    This is not Animated Lockdown.

    No QC on the one I received. Transformed him a couple times already. Paint apps are fine also. They definitely took liberties on his look.
    My only gripe is that they should have had his chest flat and not separated since it's hard to place a decent Decepticon sticker on his middle chest where I liked it to be :(

    Jaegertron vaguely shares a couple features with Alex Milne's original (and unused) Lockdown design for the Drift mini. Before Hasbro asked IDW to change it and base the design on the ROTF Lockdown toy.

    Lockdown in MTMTE is not a compelling character. He is just some generic thug under Tyrest.

    Agreed, but he had a lot of presence in the Drift miniseries. i'll admit he hasnt had much characterisation in that series nor in the rest of IDW though.

    I hadn't seen this image before. Milne's artwork never fails to amaze me. :D

    I like him in Animated. I dislike him in the live action movie. Except his gun face, that's actually a pretty cool idea.
