Can anyone else with Lockdown tell me how far can you swing his hands out?
Yup I broke mine to, I wan't excpecting to pay the same amount of attention required to transform a MP to a hasbro Deluxe.

His hands only come out a little way, about 75 degrees maybe so they always point inward like he has cerebal palsy.

Anyways when it comes to Animated I'm middle of the road. I bought Lockdown, he's pretty decent (cept for his damned hands). Engineering wise he's about on par with the bulk of Movie line and the Classics. Unlike those lines however he doesn't have the same appeal for me though. What I've seen of the animated cartoon I didn't enjoy much. I will say these toy still look better than the Armada years. Lockdown really seems to exude that whole superhero/villain look in bot mode. not sure If I dig it though for me there kinda like the Star Wars Transformers line, there clever enough toys but they don't quite feel like transformers to me. Still I will no doubt get a couple of the crazy ones that amuse me (eg Soundwave) but not as much of the line as I did with the Movie TFs.

I can see why people might like them and wanna collect the whole set, but I can't understand those fans on the American boards who think there the greatest thing since G1.
