Even the Decepticons are afraid of this guy, because once Lockdown has been hired to track down a subject, nothing stops him from completing his transaction short of total deactivation! Answering only to his enigmatic "Creators", Lockdown holds himself above the Autobot/Decepticon war and sees both sides as squabbling children that he has to reign in personally. He doesn't think much higher of other civilized species across the galaxy (particularly humans), though isn't above working with them if it suits him.
Lockdown is a bounty hunter from heart. He always fulfills the contracts and missions he is assigned to as long as he is paid. He doesn't really care what he has to do in order to fulfill his contract, eager to destroy entire planets if it's necessary. His respect for other species is not too great either, sometimes mumbling about his own clients and speaking to them sarcastically. Lockdown's been known to loot weaponry from the foes he kills, so his armoury is constantly changing!
Lockdown is a bounty hunter who hasn't missed his target ever since he began his career in bounty hunting. Although his price is not cheap, his performance is the best in what he does. He was assigned by The Creators to capture Optimus Prime.
Lockdown and his group of mercenaries have no allegiance to the Autobots or the Decepticons. This ruthless hunter only works for the highest payers in the galaxy. As long as the price is right, he'll hunt down anyone.
He is well equipped for these hunts too. Not only the giant cannon mode, his head has multiple other configurations, such as a monocular long range scanner. He also has a tactical face plate that gives him readings on his "prey". His arms also have various configurations, battle hook, sword, cannon, claw and spark catcher. Last but not least, he has grenades and shoulder-mounted missile launchers. His vehicle mode is a 2013 Lamborghini Aventador.
At some point in the past, Lockdown "commandeered" the Knights Temenos from its crew of legendary knights.
