That being said though, $30 is a little high for a voyager class figure.Ĭonsidering the deluxes were around 20, which was already too much in my opinion I would assume the voyagers will be more. I mean, compare SS Starscream to POTP Starscream. I don’t have a huge sample size of either line, but I don’t think that’s necessarily the case.

I think this Lockdown is a superb figure and a massive improvement over the previous attempt in size, sculpt and proportions and is in my opinion one of the coolest looking bad guy (avoided saying Decepticon cos he's technically not one) Transformers figures ever. Yeah again I like your photos but I just don't agree with your reviews. He is fine but it's not a toy I think I will go back to often (until I have an accompanying Optimus). Add that to a the lackluster deco and this is another example of a movie toy in the Studio Series line that doesn't feel more "premium" than any other movie toy from previous lines. The nice sculpting hides away the fact that this toy doesn't accomplish much aside from looking good in a few areas, making it feel more like a mild improvement over the definite version of a character. However this is still a very typical shellformer at a scale that doesn't really help me.

This article was last modified on Saturday, July 14th, 2018 10:39pm CDT News Search So in the end it's a great sculpt and cool car mode, definitely better than the previous attempt. I like that they painted the tail lights but I would have really liked that they gave some detail to the Lamborghini symbol in the front, like they had done with last year's Hot Rod. I don't have any issue with the car mode. To the point that it can really get in the way of a cool scene. While the face sculpt is nice, the expression they gave him is that of massive boredom. Too bad the deco doesn't highlight as much as I would like, they don't even paint the Lamborghini symbol split across his chest. The sculpting is clearly the best part though. Both weapons can be hooked onto the outside of the forearms, which is also where they can be hooked on in vehicle mode. We also get a Sword/Blaster (something very common in Age of Extinction) but he cant hold it as a blaster. They have a very flimsy connection and can easily pop off. Yes, they do add these flip out robot mode detail launchers and while it is a good idea, it is not done well. About the arms, I do not know why they chose to have the upper arm be actual car mode detail rather than sculpting some robot mode detail under that piece and making it face that way. It doesn't help him feel more boxy and wide than he should be, which is already conveyed with his truncated neck and wide arms. While the backpack does fold into itself, it is still pretty big and definitely takes away from the silhouette the robot mode sculpting promises. Unlike Cogman, I found Lockdown to have an uninventive transformation for a shellformer. That is basically where the similarities end. It is as similar to Cogman as it is to TLK Barricade, which are all shellformers with the feet in the back and the torso at the front. People had wondered if this was a retool of Cogman but it isn't. For the life of me I could not find his previous deluxe in my collection bins, so I have a comparison to a bunch of other toys instead to show you what I mean. The first thing I would like to get out of the way is that unlike what it seemed at first, this is not a tall deluxe. As with every other toy in this wave (and line), there is a lot to like but it is also far from perfect. I have a pictorial review for every toy of Wave 2 so far so I thought I would complete that with Lockdown. They have yet to reach saturation and their higher prices at several retailers might make them less obvious to own.
