![]() ![]() ![]() Intentionally or not, Titan Comics continuity synchs up quite well: Lockdown was on Earth in 2011, part of Bludgeon's militia in Vol.2, and fell back in with Megatron in " A Short, Sharp Lesson!".It is still inhabitable in Titan's earlier comics, with the Twins there in Vol.2 and Stockade squatting there in the alternate universe. Lockdown talks about Cybertron as the prize, implying that they're fighting on the planet and it's still a viable thing to conquer in 2006. ![]() Prime's a forgiving sort if he's sorry that Drift lost a friend that was going to commit genocide against us! So what's Knucklehead doing on the moon? Prime's dialogue makes it clear he was one of the Decepticons hiding there, preparing to make the jump to Earth but he just never made it.Lockdown likes collecting spare parts off his victims, a trait from his Animated counterpart.Autobots swear on the Dynasty of Primes.Knucklehead mentions Breakdown, who apparently has the same paranoiac tendencies as his Generation 1 namesake."Ha! That'll be the day! Drift's a Decepticon for life!" "For what it's worth, 'Con, I think you'd have made a fine Autobot." "Surrender? Whoever said anything about surrendering? "I'm not about to throw lives away - ours or theirs." Optimus reassures Drift that when Lockdown next reemerges, the Autobots will be ready to face him together. In the present day, Drift gives Knucklehead a proper burial, remarking from his old friend's injuries that Lockdown must have made good on his promise of revenge. Though he may want revenge, Drift knows that Lockdown won't go against Megatron and as long as the big man is in charge they'll be fine. Lockdown is left dangling helplessly over the base's molten moat, screaming threats of revenge against his former comrades, whilst Drift allows the defeated Autobots to retreat with their wounded. Drift takes advantage of his foe's distraction to free himself and wind Lockdown's grappling cable around the dislodged cannon, which he then kicks over the edge. Enraged, Lockdown pins Drift to the wall with a spear and cable, and proceeds to beat on Knucklehead. Lockdown accuses Drift of betraying the Decepticon cause, and attempts to pull a hidden pistol, but Knucklehead sides with his superior and knocks the weapon away. Drift arrives at the base's main cannon, however, to find Lockdown preparing to execute the surrendering gun crew! The samurai tackles his subordinate, sending Lockdown's missile into the cannon, knocking it from its mounting. The trio sneak up to the base undetected, and with the element of surprise on their side, they are able to overrun the fortress's defenders without a single shot fired. Lockdown takes issue with Drift's plan to storm the base in person, rather than just bomb it, but the Decepticon samurai reminds his teammate that Megatron would like something left behind to actually rule. Drift is not pleased with what amounts to garbage pickup duty, but is surprised when he finds a recently deceased corpse in the wreckage, belonging to his old comrade, Knucklehead.įive years ago, the three-man team of Drift, Lockdown and Knucklehead take cover outside a heavily-defended Autobot fortress. Meanwhile, on the dark side of the Moon, Optimus Prime and former Decepticon Drift are sorting through the crashed Ark to ensure that no more potentially dangerous technology remains in the wreck. Just to make Optimus angry when he sees it.The battle for Chicago has ended, and humanity has begun to clear up the pieces. BUT Lockdown should have totally wore his buzzsaw. I might have gotten a little ahead of myself, story-wise – the scene is still in the movie, though completely different.ĭon't forget – come see me this weekend, atĬapital City Comic Con 2014 July 11-13, table T122!įrom this, IMO I think the scene given to us was more emotional. With no time to avoid impact, Ratchet transforms, but his high speed momentum impales him in a spike, leaving Lockdown time to grab a quick trophy, before moving on to his next target…īut, the point of the image and assignment was to show Lockdown's character trait, taking a trophy from a defeated Ratchet. Lockdown, (Playing Possum) as a beater muscle car, leads Ratchet through some ravines, baiting him into taking the path set with traps – long, iron spikes, when triggered, spring up. I boarded in thumbnails a little sequence in which Ratchet sees Lockdown escaping in the near distance. ![]()
