Greeting Cybertronians! I'm DrLockdown (or Declan).

I specialise in Transformers figure and media analysis. Been doing this gig for over eight years, and had a blast so far.

If you like reviews that go into the context of why things happen, feel free to give it a watch: www.youtube.com/@DrLockdown
Jesus Christ so many submissions.

There was originally 28 slots to fill...and I've already got seventy submissions.

Imma have to figure out where I'll put some extras, where to squeeze more in, so I can fit more in.

One quote my partner said has stuck with me. Not sure where it was originally from.

"You are the consumer, the board execs are the customers."

Can also include other figures as long as it includes legacy

And include a shout out name for the credits, so I can credit you directly.

Legacy Video is coming along, but how would YOU like to be a part of it?

(Opportunity dropping a bit earlier on Bluesky because there's no scheduling options here :P)

Given the direction they're going in, with flatter toon sculpting and cheaper decos...I kinda don't want them to redo them.

Plus what is this...the THIRD time they're planning on doing the 84-86 cast? Still no Omnibots, Predator Squad, Throttlebots, etc.

Artificial scarcity and instantly sold out can get fucked though.

I see what Target US is doing, and its not cool.

in years?

You don't have to buy every toy, and rereleasing older figures is a good practice.
January 15, 2026 at 7:31 AM
- for most collectors who already have them, it saves money...not spending money...is good.

Lemme put it this way...would you rather have an incrementally better infinitely more expensive new figure...or would you rather that effort and budget be put towards characters who haven't had a toy

IDK why folks are so up in arms about Anniversary Scourge & Hound being straight reissues.

- new fans who weren't around get them
- old fans who missed out (me with Hound) get a second chance
- it saves resources making new incrementally-better updates

Aaaahhhhhh four days later and I'm done with this!

Only one of three big filming things, but this was the hardest.

Now I NEVER have to film anything with the Legacy Insecticons again!

GOSH THAT WAS A SLOG!

You still can.

He was once a DND character, but I got booted from that game, and it was a great way to revive him.

And he sorta took on a life of his own.

But its time to put the idea to rest. Channel's moving in different ways this year, and he deserves a proper sendoff.

Might not be something that newer viewers wouldn't know about, but I used to have a recurring character on the review show called Vaughan Vandurghbarr.

Today I filmed the last ever shots of him before I retire the character. It was...actually kinda emotional, NGL.

It's a classic. Holds up to this day.

I mean...I knew fascists were illiterate, but WOW that's just willingly ignoring text on a whole other level.

Not even subtext. Text!

You're not missing much.

They're all WAY better than the standard three.

Gonna be a bit quiet on video progress for the next week. Filming for the Legacy Video, but this footage also doubles as stuff for future reviews, so there won't be any preview galleries.

This is the most brutal filming part of this upcoming video. See y'all on the other side.

If this is what "man cereal is", then I'll take the cereal that's had an orchiectomy thank you very much.
what fresh hell is this on the streets of brooklyn?
January 13, 2026 at 2:01 AM
I dunno...the fact it's a children's franchise?

Even the transformers sets weren't that bad.
January 12, 2026 at 10:50 PM
Of course the new Lego Pokemon sets are all in the upper price range.

Of course they're all gen one.

And here I thought they'd actually be affordable and diverse.

They really do move in heards."

I know my usual audience doesn't care, but I'm feeling REALLY good about health progress.

Shed seven KGs in a month already, just from a few small diet changes. Nothing drastic; just calorie counting and cutting out a couple of things.

Feeling fantastic about it, and it's only going to get better.
January 11, 2026 at 3:45 AM
I don't. I just don't care. Haven't seen it.
