===Animated series===

The original version of Lockdown was featured in ''[[Transformers: Animated]]'' as a bounty hunter most often employed by the [[Decepticons]], though [[Sentinel Prime]] employed him on at least one occasion as well. A former student of [[Yoketron]], Lockdown's villainous choices resulted in his disgrace, and his holographic bust was left deactivated alongside those of such notables as [[Dai Atlas]] and [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]]. Lockdown seems to have developed a particular contempt for his former master, and soon struck down Yoketron and stole the many [[Protoforms]] in [[Stasis pods]] under Yoketron's watch and delivered them to [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. Some time after, he hunted down and captured the [[Autobot]] intelligence agent [[Arcee]] and [[Ratchet (Transformers)|Ratchet]], a medic dispatched to treat her after she was wounded. Lockdown was hired to deliver Arcee-and the codes to [[Omega Supreme|Project Omega]] that she carried-to Megatron as well, but was prevented from doing so when Ratchet used his EMP tool to apparently wipe Arcee's memory.

The online ''[[Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' animations depict a Lockdown who is quite similar to his ''Animated'' counterpart.

===Age of Extinction===

===Animated series===

====Cyber Missions====

In Hasbro's ''Cyber Missions'', Lockdown (played by [[Bronco D. Jackson]]) is portrayed as a recurring antagonist for [[Ratchet (Transformers)#Transformers|Ratchet]]. In ''Cyber Missions #3'', Lockdown is seen rampaging through Mission City (famously known as the location for the climax of [[Transformers (film)|the first film]]). Ratchet intercepts him by tailing behind and trying to blast him with his [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] generator. However, it shorts out, giving Lockdown a chance to knock him while he was already down. Lockdown then stole Ratchet's blaster and sped off.

In ''Cyber Missions #7'', Lockdown returns, infiltrating NEST HQ in [[Diego Garcia]]. [[Sideswipe (Transformers)|Sideswipe]] and Ratchet (who was recovering from the encounter) were the only ones left at base. Lockdown easily gets past the electric fence and the security cameras (disabling both with the stolen EMP). Soon, he faces Sideswipe. The speedy Autobot (who traded his shattered twin blades for twin blasters) was able to blast the EMP generator off his wrist, sending it flying back to its original owner, Ratchet (fully recovered). Lockdown attempted to retreat, but he was instead heading towards the Medical Bay, where he was captured and sedated.

In ''Cyber Missions #11'', Lockdown teams up with [[Barricade (Transformers)|Barricade]] against [[Ironhide]].

===Movies===

====Transformers: Age of Extinction====

The official movie version of Lockdown appears as a main antagonist in ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction]]'', where he has captured the [[Dinobots]] and is looking to add [[Optimus Prime (film)|Optimus Prime]] to his collection as well.

===Games===

Lockdown appears as a playable character in the Wii, Nintendo DS, and 3DS versions of the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (video game)|video game prequel to ''Dark of the Moon'']].

In the DS version, Lockdown, on Megatron's orders as relayed by Starscream, broke into a NEST facility and stole information from the super-computer relating to NEST operations in the Pacific. When he had finished basking in his victory, he sent the data to Starscream, who ordered Lockdown to investigate a reactivated Sector 7 base, and the Decepticon ended up tangling with Mirage. He was later called on again to provide a diversion by destroying communication arrays in an Autobot base as part of Megatron's plan to reactivate Shockwave.

In the Wii/3DS version, he took part in the Decepticon's attack on Detroit, breaking into a NEST facility in order to upload a virus. He managed to flee the base after Optimus arrived, and was then ordered back to Decepticon HQ, as Megatron had new orders for him to carry out.
