As the third incarnation of the Scraphook mould, there are no surprises here. On one hand being a repaint/retool limits how accurate this toy looks compared to Animated Lockdown, but on the other hand, it doesn't share the same weaknesses as the original mould, especially with those hands that permanently turn inwards and have weak hinges that are prone to breaking. Based on this toy being just better constructed than the original (which I really dislike), I would say that this toy is an improvement. A proper CHUG Lockdown would've been nicer, but this is okay.

Odd that only one of the thrusters has the gold trim on it.

Here he is with the RotF version (plus Ratchet's gun)
