Lockdown is a Decepticon bounty hunter from Transformers Animated. He collects Autobot weapons. He transforms into a Muscle Car.

=== Animated Series===

Lockdown first appeared in "Thrill of the Hunt", in which he hunted down Optimus Prime for the one who hired him, Blitzwing. He once again ran into Ratchet, who overcame his past pain to avenge Arcee and save Prime. His ship was seen crashing into a river.

Lockdown would later return to Earth when after the bounty for Starscream in episode 23, "A Fistfull of Energon". He reluctantly teams up with the Autobot Prowl, even providing him with armor upgrades for the mission. Lockdown later betrayed Prowl and brought a pair of Starscream clones to Megatron. During his second appearance, he mentions to Prowl that Megatron pays more than the Elite Guard. Lockdown is briefly alluded to in the episode "SUV: Society of Ultimate Villainy". The Decepticon Swindle implys that he picked up Megatron's radio frequency from Lockdown, referring to him as "a mutual bounty-hunting friend".

Lockdown returned in the third season episode "Five Servos of Doom", exchanging captured Decepticons for various items with Sentinel Prime until the Liar Starscream clone paid him enough Energon to get him to switch targets. During the fight with Prowl, Lockdown reveals his relation to Yoketron to him while gloating of his actions. Prowl fights him, equipped with his old armor, and wins, but Lockdown escapes yet again.

Lockdown was seen in a brief flashback in "This is Why I Hate Machines", which was actually recycled from his debut episode.
