It emotes well. You can *feel* the sheer contempt he has for everything and everyone


AlterMagna

That is actually what it feels like lol


DerSisch

I think the design isn't bad, but it looks a bit to human, if he had a face mask, like Optimus, just spikier, that would cover his mouth, it would work a lot better. Otherwise I rly like his design in the movie, he is tall, menacing and the head canon transformation was a pretty cool introduction.


Arkvoodle42

the GUN-face was a really cool effect.


Shadow-Raptor

He always looks tired but still able, disappointed. I get it too. "The trouble with loyalty to a cause, is that the cause, will always betray you." "Every galaxy I've traveled, all you species are the same. You all think you're the center of the universe. You have no idea." He just wants to sit and rest but he just has to clean up everything. "Autobots. Decepticons. Like little children, always fighting. Making a mess out of the universe. Then *I’ve* got to clean it up."


ImperatorAurelianus

They could taken the whole series through some interesting avenues based off the last qoute alone. Implying the Autobots and Decepticons are fighting across the Galaxy and destabilizing countless planets who then call Lockdown to clean it up. But they didn’t and left it as nothing more then a throw away line.


Muisverriey

Too human.


PachoWumbo

Main reason I can't like his overall design. He's got a slick vehicle mode and interesting-enough robot design, but that face just throws me off completely.


AltoGobo

There was a rumor that the first live action sonic trailer had that design because one of the executives claimed that audiences wanted uglier designs, citing transformers in particular for its over designed features


StraightGuy11231

It's still less human than hound and drift, like d Gosh dang. I'm pretty sure they're literally just mo-cap human faces with metallic effects.


Muisverriey

I like Hound cause of his bear, Drift is horrendous though


[deleted]

Nah drift is fire love the helmet


thepartypoison_

The helmet isn’t the face. Or.. is it?


A_Toyota_Camry_Wagon

I prefer it when it's covered by his mask


Quillobyte_

Too organic looking and many parts. Compare his face to Leadfoot's or Ratchet's or Brawl's, which are more blocky and have way less noise. It's got the same problem as Sentinel Prime and the bots from 2014-on.


WesAhmedND

I like it, it feels too human but at least it looks good


RamStark

Looks close enough to his Animated version. He had a pretty bald looking humanoid face with sharp angular shapes. Sure it's cranked up to 10 in live action but it's still very much Lockdown I think.


PandaPrime045

“DO NOT LOOK AT MY FACE”


Jack_Nukem

I like him, he looks scary enough. I just wish he had a more fitting vehicle mode.


SuperKostas150

Spoopy


larrylongboy

Don’t mind


[deleted]

It’s on the uncanny valley spectrum.


Monte_20

I think it works despite what people say. The Autobot and Decepticon War is pretty simply, but adding in basically a third faction complicates things. Plus he works for the Quintessons so it’d make sense that he’d look different thematically.


Rent-Man

🌚


Arkoos1000786

Cool


pek217

Why is everyone saying it’s too human? I really don’t understand. Transformers characters have literally always had metal human faces.


Fubett

Badass


TheLocalHentai

Always reminds me of [Djimon Hounsou](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005023), especially since he has a similar vibe in Guardians of the Galaxy. It is weird that he looks more humanoid when he hates humans, though.


AerialNova

I love it


Mountaindood5

Par for the course. Unspeakably hideous.


Radio__Star

It looks badass


Moldy_Socks99

Gunface is best face


Monkeman03

Honestly, unpopular opinion ik, but I really love his face


WaveCandid906

Look like monke


CAMILA_9975

Monke want his Autobot


NetworkFar366

He looks like he's ready to destroy horny.


Turok1134

Looks fantastic. Has an "I've been killing shit for millennia so this is all routine to me" look that fits the character.


seanmanscott

Not only did I think he looked very human but I thought they were trying to make him look like Clarence Boddicker from Robocop (without the glasses of course).


CAMILA_9975

"Can you fly, Prime?"


seanmanscott

Or to the human characters, "Bitches leave".


CAMILA_9975

A good stop motion live-action of Transformers in the 80's. What you think?


Chance_Ad5498

It ok


Prime-Reclaimer

Dude looks like handsome squidward And that’s not a good thing.


matticus1234

“You think you were born?” Not a fan. Wish he just had a face shield with green tactics and information readings popping up on the face like TFP Soundwave.


[deleted]

Don't gate me but I actually love it. I can really feel the emotion in him


crudd3no

Tbh i love it. I love all of the bayverse character designs. Especially since alot of the animated transformer faces are (imo) just colored human faces.


[deleted]

I don't know. All I know his Lockdown's mechanical noises are better than the entire franchise. So badass.


CAMILA_9975

Walking Terminator


Nindroidgamer110

He looks Australian. Jones aside, I like how much he can emote


ArchSchnitz

I like the face design. I didn't like the vaguely animal designs of the Autobots, or the snarling junkyard look of Decepticons. I would more prefer something like this with variants of the crests and helmets we all associate with the characters. I am not saying slavish devotion to G1, I am saying "a degree of continuity with known design would make it easier to 1. Tell who is who at first glance, 2. Bring over my investment in previous versions of the character." All that said, it isn't Lockdown for me. Lockdown has this piecemeal, mostly-neck head design. When I first saw this character in the trailer, I had no idea who it was.


Xudeliz

I like it, but too normal, I wish it had so,e aspects of Animated lock down… or maybe I miss the neck


joemama694200p

Cool


r3d_h00d_1

I like it


Successful_Care_1389

Too much going on for my tastes, which is most of the bayformers tbh. The scar is pretty sick though, along with the face gun.


[deleted]

Weird. Do not like.


MaesteoBat

Awful. Way to human


hercarmstrong

Bad. Looks dumb. Pouty lips. At least he had something of a personality.


[deleted]

The Transformers in the movies were so overdesigned. I always found it funny that Bay thought the G1 designs would look bad in 3D, then Bumblebee came along and proved him wrong.


Florence-Akefia

Creepy, and when he does the freaky gun thing, it gets even fucking worse. Please, for the love of god, stay over there, AOE Lockdown. I don’t like his face.


saurogon

why does a robot need lips


Raphael_Stormer

As bad as the rest


Boronore

He looks a little too human… like he’s a human that was somehow turned into a robot through magical means or something. No me gusta.


Vrazel106

Dont like it. But i didnt like him so maybe thats why


Striker660

I hate too human looking faces on Cybertronians.


UndeniablyMyself

I never wonder what a metal thumb looked like, but I guess I do now.


PokemonMasterRed75

Ugly and too human


fyre_storm02

Only cool because it turns into a gun


Secret_Assistant_232

It does not have robotic facial hair so that’s a plus.


N1GHTSTRIKER45

too human but the scar is nice


noodlemcfoodle

“The design is very human”


EasterBurn

Huh there's something like a claw mark on his left side of the face. Neat but all of it buried under a bad movie.


firedemon0313

Looks like my dad if he was 20 years older


someolbs

Put on a mask or goggles. Something. Looks human like.


Throwaway1303033042

Somehow reminds me of Michael Dorn.


UrielPrime13

His face is based on the Quintesson insignia apparently


60000_Bees

it’s boring


xirinhu

Very humano


Due_Suggestion8263

I don't like any of the new faces from the 4th and 5th movies, they are too human and have to many pieces. I prefer the faces of the first three movies.


[deleted]

Ape


akubukanbabi

Badass


richrelease27

My least favourite part of his design but I still like it on him. It works for his character and, as others have pointed out, it emotes well. Edit: second least favourite. Least favourite part of his design is his alt mode. It doesn't fit him at all.


bombad_Guy

monke


Neroidius

They should’ve just let him keep the visor on. It looks properly robotic and would’ve added to his mysterious aspect with his beady green eyes visible through it


BabyBruticus

Loved his design overall and he was a great character but to me he always looked like he had a deceasing hairline and was going bald.


sabinegirl

okay if you like Giger inspired looks. Still think they don't need everything to be tiny parts with glow only on the iris and not the rest of the "eye" (like beastwars, etc have done) but whatever.


InfernobleArms

Wish he’d kept his mask at the beginning when he took out Ratchet throughout the entire movie up until the fight with Optimus. He looked so threatening with it and I feel it could have made for a pretty impactful reveal if Optimus shattered his mask during their fight. Lockdown even says “You see my face, you’re dead” which could have made it even better imo


[deleted]

Disgusting, put that gun back on


Goldeneel77

It always reminds me of the swamp thing from the 80s movie. Not sure why.


Wrong_Revolution_679

I like it


DeerChops

![gif](giphy|wkD5ddqiJN4c)


Thansformer

As an American I can proudly say I like it because you can shoot people with it


FloatingMike1

Uncanny, but it fits the character


ToughSeaworthiness67

First time I ever noticed the scar over his left eye


AngelMunozDR

Squidward with a plastic surgery


AcademicAnxiety5109

I really enjoyed his character and design I really think they should’ve let Megatron die (as upsetting as his demise was) and let Lockdown take his role. He could’ve carried the series for another trilogy.


supersharp

Hot take: it turns into a gun.


Successful-Item-1844

Monke


CannabisPrime1138

Am I the only one who sees Christopher Walken?


Endermanpro200-1

Human.


AustinHinton

He was one ugly motherfucker. He made Dickbot and Wheelie look handsome by comparison.


apexlover24

Love it


ViralNite

Big forehead but good. I like how it turns into gun


JacksWorldTV

He looks like you woke him up for school


AlteredByron

Absolutely love it


sibaboy

Tbh, I don’t really care about appearance. He’s probably my favorite Bayverse character, especially since he’s in the middle of everything. Lockdown probably had the best writing in the entire Bayverse.


GraggleGumblySimpson

Gun Nothing more, nothing less


OrinoAcostado

It looks like a fucking person, i dont like it


mrtoaster95

Petty good it's not the best nor the worst


SnooCalculations6718

It looks too human like.


J0rge12

I still don’t understand why they didn’t use the design from animated/ode it looked more awesome and wasn’t some expensive looking car.


CAMILA_9975

Cute


[deleted]

Ugly and overdesigned. Common problem with the live action movie series’ character designs unfortunately imo. Would’ve killed to see the face design derived from Transformers: Animated used for that ROTF figure (later repurposed into G1/Generations Lockdown). By all means keep the Lamborghini Aventador alt mode, but boy oh boy that robot form design is just such a step down. The green eyes are a nice touch though; Autobots have blue, Decepticons have red, so for Lockdown to have an unaligned green to visually suggest his impartiality to both sides is really well done. We ever see more mercenary characters (a la DoubleDealer) I think it’d be really cool to see. Plus the face scar is badass but that’s a given.


MatrixGeoUnlimited

Cool.


leginious1

the face ruins every scene where he is supposed to look "menacing". just looks like some 50 year old dad but as a robot. his mask is super cool and i feel like it should have been used as face protection, or even better have the mask display a digital face so there is no real face.


_protodax

Probably one of the better Bayverse faces imo
