![]() Come to think of it, if most of the story takes place in 2006 or 2007, how did the guy get onto a ship that crash-landed on the moon in 1961? Was he sent there from somewhere else?.Megs died at the end of the battle in Chicago and all the Decepticons went to Earth, so unless Knucklehead was guarding the Ark remains then why's he still on the moon?.It's implied that Lockdown whacked Knucklehead "recently" because Megatron has just died in the third film.It would be pretty difficult to hang a robot! Lockdown says "Megatron would see you hang for this".Although the story occurs not long after Dark of the Moon, Optimus Prime sports the new body he acquires part-way through Age of Extinction.Lockdown's drawn with blue highlights on his body, following the look of his toys rather than the film (which would look dull in print).(He'd have to completely change his body and then change it back again, but this is Transformers.) Intentionally or not, Titan Comics continuity synchs up quite well: Lockdown was on Earth in 2011, part of Bludgeon's militia in Vol.2, and fell back in with Megatron in " A Short, Sharp Lesson!".It is still inhabitable in Titan's earlier comics, with the Twins there in Vol.2 and Stockade squatting there in the alternate universe. Lockdown talks about Cybertron as the prize, implying that they're fighting on the planet and it's still a viable thing to conquer in 2006.Prime's a forgiving sort if he's sorry that Drift lost a friend that was going to commit genocide against us! So what's Knucklehead doing on the moon? Prime's dialogue makes it clear he was one of the Decepticons hiding there, preparing to make the jump to Earth but he just never made it.Lockdown likes collecting spare parts off his victims, a trait from his Animated counterpart.Autobots swear on the Dynasty of Primes.Knucklehead mentions Breakdown, who apparently has the same paranoiac tendencies as his Generation 1 namesake."Ha! That'll be the day! Drift's a Decepticon for life!" "For what it's worth, 'Con, I think you'd have made a fine Autobot." "Surrender? Whoever said anything about surrendering? "I'm not about to throw lives away - ours or theirs." Optimus reassures Drift that when Lockdown next reemerges, the Autobots will be ready to face him together. In the present day, Drift gives Knucklehead a proper burial, remarking from his old friend's injuries that Lockdown must have made good on his promise of revenge. Though he may want revenge, Drift knows that Lockdown won't go against Megatron and as long as the big man is in charge they'll be fine. Lockdown is left dangling helplessly over the base's molten moat, screaming threats of revenge against his former comrades, whilst Drift allows the defeated Autobots to retreat with their wounded. Drift takes advantage of his foe's distraction to free himself and wind Lockdown's grappling cable around the dislodged cannon, which he then kicks over the edge. ![]() Enraged, Lockdown pins Drift to the wall with a spear and cable, and proceeds to beat on Knucklehead. Lockdown accuses Drift of betraying the Decepticon cause, and attempts to pull a hidden pistol, but Knucklehead sides with his superior and knocks the weapon away. Drift arrives at the base's main cannon, however, to find Lockdown preparing to execute the surrendering gun crew! The samurai tackles his subordinate, sending Lockdown's missile into the cannon, knocking it from its mounting. The trio sneak up to the base undetected, and with the element of surprise on their side, they are able to overrun the fortress's defenders without a single shot fired. Lockdown takes issue with Drift's plan to storm the base in person, rather than just bomb it, but the Decepticon samurai reminds his teammate that Megatron would like something left behind to actually rule. Drift is not pleased with what amounts to garbage pickup duty, but is surprised when he finds a recently deceased corpse in the wreckage, belonging to his old comrade, Knucklehead.įive years ago, the three-man team of Drift, Lockdown and Knucklehead take cover outside a heavily-defended Autobot fortress. Meanwhile, on the dark side of the Moon, Optimus Prime and former Decepticon Drift are sorting through the crashed Ark to ensure that no more potentially dangerous technology remains in the wreck. The battle for Chicago has ended, and humanity has begun to clear up the pieces. ![]()
