“All this conflict… Autobots, Decepticons, fighting for their little world while the universe faces a greater threat… and I am the one who must pick off the ones that would break the balance.” — Lockdown
Lockdown. A name synonymous with fear. The first of a small dynasty of hunters who serve no master, fighters who serve the highest bidder (though only as equals, never servants). He is a Cybertronian whose past is lost in darkness, who has worked for many causes, and always the one who comes out on top. Even his losses are his victories. As long as he has his rifle and is operational, he is a threat to be feared by Autobots, Decepticons, and even Terrorcons.
His base is his warship, where he holds prisoners in its retrofitted cells, secured by almost excessive countermeasures. The only prisoners who have escaped him are the Knights hiding on Earth, after he downed their ship to trap them on the primitive world, not knowing that in doing so, he would bring the Great War there, where it would end.
Lockdown’s alt-mode is a Lamborghini Revuelto, with modifications to allow it to drive off-road.
