Ratchet: You Decepticon scum.
Lockdown: Oh, I'm not one of them. Name's Lockdown. I'm what you call, a bounty hunter. Decepticons pay real good for info; battle plans, access codes. Your friend should lend me some sweet upgrades. Of course, you know what I really live for; hunting trophies. Like my new EMP generator.
~ Lockdown introducing himself to Ratchet.
Wait, I know you. EMP Generator, right? I'm not good with names and faces, but I never forget a trophy. How's the old bucket? Still dented? Maybe I should pound the other side and even it out.
~ Lockdown encountering Ratchet again.

Lockdown is a major antagonist in the 2007 animated TV series Transformers: Animated, appearing in one episode per season.

He is a bounty hunter that isn't part of the Autobots nor Decepticons, but will occasionally work for either of them depending on how much they pay him, to which he mostly deals with the Decepticons due to paying him more, as well as a former student and murderer of Cyber-ninjitsu master, Yoketron. He is also the archenemy to Prowl and Ratchet.

He was voiced by Lance Henriksen, who also voiced Thomas Magruder in the Gun video game series, Brainiac in Superman: Brainiac Attacks and Karl Bishop Weyland in the 2010 Aliens vs. Predators video game.

What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]

  • He is loyal to no one, only making deals with the Decepticons most of the time as they pay more than the Elite Guards, and gleefully does his job. However, when the Elite Guard does pay more than the Decepticons, Lockdown happily targets Decepticons too, as he is only loyal to them for the money and upgrades.
  • His first act as a bounty hunter was murdering his former master, Yoketron, before stealing all the Protoforms, who are essentially unborn Cybertronians, and selling them.
  • As a full blown organ harvester in a kid's show, Lockdown has one of the most horrific and nightmarish actions in the series. During the Great War, Lockdown happily hunted down the targets he was tasked with, and then strapped them to an operation table to mutilate parts of their body to keep them as his own trophies and upgrades, having dozens of them.
  • One of the targets was Arcee, who was defended by Ratchet. Lockdown steals Ratchet's EMP Generator and turns the healing tool into a weapon of destruction and also scars him, traumatizing the soldier that upon his arrival on Earth, Ratchet was suffering from PTSD.
  • Happily tracks down Starscream and planned to dismember a piece of him for his trophy before handing him to Megatron, another PE presented as the most cruel and powerful villain in universe.
  • Paid by Sentinel, Lockdown hunts down Ramjet, Sunstorm, Lugnut, Bltizwing and Swindle, capturing all of them and severing their weapons (which are parts of their bodies), except for Swindle (who was frozen in alternate mode, making it impossible to sever off his weapons), before handing them over to Sentinel.
  • Upon being paid more by Ramjet, Lockdown happily turns against Sentinel.
  • While he does find Prowl a worthy enemy, temporarily teaming up with him to capture Starscream, and offering him a permanent partnership, it is only because he finds Prowl's skills useful to him and at most sees him as a mere extension of himself, and has been mostly trying to corrupt him into becoming his partner.
    • And given how cruel and selfish Lockdown is to the point of murdering his master and being an organ harvest for profit and stealing what is presented as Cybertronians' body parts from his victims to improve his body, it is safe to assume that Lockdown would backstab Prowl whenever the opportunity show itself. No matter if it would be for money or for upgrade, but is hard to believe that someone so evil would even have a second thought before betraying Prowl after all Lockdown has done.
