Lockdown looks like he's got a new head



He sure did and it still has a notch at the top for his ‘gun head’ mode. But as you can see from the pictures he no longer comes with that accessory. The new headsculpt is nothing to write home about, only reason I got this figure was for the weapons and not because they make lockdown look better (they do help his image a little) it’s just the weapons would look better on one of my other bots. Also the rifle he comes with is actually more of a sword than gun when you have it in hand. Not mentioned in the instructions the sword/gun can also clip onto his arm to form a sort of Movie Optimus ‘my arm is a sword’ look. However I don’t recommend it, even though the clip is designed to fit on the arm it’s still really tight. I’d recommend people stick to using the pegs.

I also picked up bonecrusher from this wave, having never bought the mold before, 10 years of holding off was long enough I guess. I'm actually kinda impressed that it is actually an '07' movie toy, it seems fairly accurate to his on screen representation and has a nice transformation.

Pictures dont do the face justice, his eyes are a nice bright red that really pop. The windows are also darker blue in person and have some sort of glitter in them that you can kinda see in the pictures, sparkly like his personality. Really nice paint applications on the few spots they have added extra color to. on this guy, even though he is an old mold if you havent got him yet he might be worth getting.
