Originally previewed by Hasbro at BotCon as "Chainsaw" Lockdown. Will presumably ship in the enxt wave after Swoop, Sentinel Prime and Elite Guard Bumblebee.

Not too bad, for a repaint. I may get him to take his main weapon!:D

Looks nice but I already have Lockown.

This could be good. I am pretty lazy, but if I have TWO Lockdowns standing around with dumb-looking hands, I might be motivated enough to fix them. And this is cool-looking enough to warrant a purchase, so it just might happen.

I'm more interested in Swindle and Blurr, both of them are on the back of the package. :)

Am I right in thinking he has a chainsaw?!?! (The original name may be a giveaway, but I just want to be clear on this!)

That may force me to buy him!

He does indeed have a chainsaw. Consider yourself forced. ;)

Done - two loves of mine have finally met. I'll even forgive the fact it's in Animated style!

(Does this open the way for a chainsaw TF? I wish... :lol: )

Looks OKAY, but I'm more interested in Samurai Prowl. Swindle looks really good, but Blurr's weapon is unimpressive. I don't even know what it is. It must be one of those Velocitron "chunk of car with a gun barrel on it" weapons...

Blurr looks odd. Might be the pics.

But Swindle looks awesome.

Blurr's weapon looks like his shield from the G1 version, but with a gun on it as well. I think it's a nice homage to the original.

Swindle looks pretty awesome as well. Don't know if I'll bother picking up Lockdown again... the saw is pretty cool but I'm not a huge fan of the paint job. I wonder if the write up on the back will be represented in the show at all.

Hmmm . . . chainsaw's sweet, but I think the hook is cooler. Glad I grabbed the first version. I also like green more than gold.

I can't wait for Samurai Prowl as well. Wanna see what he looks like before I decide on which Prowl to buy.

two definite buys upcming- blazin lockdown and swindle FTW... does anyone else get a wierd universe armorhide feeling from swindles fig?

blur looks awful- and not just because he's an autobot:D...

@rid scourge: the samurai prowl stuff is just the armor for the original fig- but it's sold at the deluxe price...

Definitely buying Swindle.

Buying Blurr for the character.

I don't buy repaints of the same character (except for Starscream) so Prowl and Lockdown is off my list.

I'm not so crazy about the figure, but the bio reads pretty good.

Yuppers. Just wanna see what he looks like with the gear and/or if they're replacing other gear with this suit.

It's not a sure thing. Many people are going on speculation. I just recently said "F*** it" and will wait until an actual image is out and about.
