Realizing he was not alone, he soon found himself face to face with Blackarachnia, who had her own reasons for being there. Tracking the Nemesis to the location of its crash on the moon, Lockdown, through use of the security footage, determined that a repair crew led by Optimus Prime was responsible. On modern-day Earth, Lockdown was hired by Blitzwing to bring in the Autobot presumed responsible for Megatron's death and was allowed to name his price-specifically, Lugnut's Punch of Kill Everything.

'They told me to never hit a woman, so I kicked her instead.' During the attack, he killed his former teacher and took his helmet. Becoming a bounty hunter instead, his first act was to lead a Decepticon attack on Yoketron's training center and to steal the protoforms kept in storage. However, during the Great War, he somehow brought shame on the Corps and was booted out. Lockdown was an Autobot student in Yoketron's Cyber-Ninja Corps, and one of the greater students at that.
