BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER

4.15 | "This Year's Girl"

@asocialconduct asked: " that was totally awesome! you kicked that decepticon's butt! are you an autobot? why are your eyes green? erm — oop! i mean optics, right? how come you're all alone? don't worry, i know all about you guys, i won't talk. your secrets safe with me, big guy. " / from miko.

the hunt is almost complete. a bullet from his rifle incapacitates his prey and they stumble, wounded. he stalks after the energon trail left behind, leading him to his helpless quarry. criminal scum, they will be crushed and beheaded for proof. lockdown ignores the pleas for mercy, followed by the aggressive switch into threats and warnings. whatever will spare them... little do they know nothing will. " this is where you meet your end, " he states, " was the war worth it? " he collects their spark with his extractor, grunting as he does so. then... that was totally awesome!

the decepticon's corpse slumps and lockdown hesitates, expression shifting into confusion. he looks around — nothing. " who goes there? " looks around again. notices the tiny creature some feet away waving in his direction. a human. well, that's no good. " an autobot? " he scoffs. " not likely. " he considers her words and arches a brow-plate, intrigued. i know all about you guys. not that he cares, it's not his problem should he be spotted. although his ego suffers mildly that this child of all things had discovered him. so much for stealth.

          " an autobot pet? i'd never considered such obscenity. what are you doing all the way out here? " lockdown parts from his prize if only to get a closer look at the young girl. " it's dangerous. " speaking of dangerous, the decepticons aren't fools. they'll notice one of their own is unreachable soon enough and come looking. " you should leave while you still can. "

your soul is... ancient — the death of someone such as yourself is an event rarely seen... it is a great honour to harbour such an elegantly aged soul. so much twisted wisdom contained within that pulsing, coiling mass... so many revelations, loves, losses, broken promises, rekindled hopes. you are cherished, of course... for you are a magnificently rare specimen. but the horrors you have seen live as long as you yourself, harrowing and unearthly. you are blessed. you are vexed.

@ghostlyvisage asked: 2, 9 & 13.

2. what views do they have that differ from / contradict those of the other characters?

lockdown is neutral when it comes to factions. formerly a decepticon, he departed from them for a number of reasons and since has travelled the galaxy largely on his own. he's come face to face with countless alien species and effectively has learned that not only are cybertronians and humans not alone, but that there's also much more in the universe far greater than any of them. it's led to a relatively practical perception of life's purpose, in that species should do as they're told and what's expected of them, and that the mixing of them was never intended or desired.

while the decepticons believe they have a right to utilise the human race as slaves, the autobots believed they could form an allegiance and friendship with mankind in favour of defeating the decepticons. lockdown doesn't believe in either of these approaches and wholly feels cybertronians should keep to themselves on their own planet. it's apparent, to cope with this cosmic horror ( the reality that he is unimportant ), lockdown perceives himself as greater than the average being, labelling himself up as the universe's clean-up crew.

the quote "we all work for someone" suggests he believes you're either working for yourself or for someone else. a pessimistic and hopeless view of the world and existence in comparison to someone like optimus prime, who believes freedom is the right to all sentient beings, or megatron, who believes if you want something there should be no limits as to what you can have. he is a steadily pessimistic medium between the good and bad of the autobots and decepticons.

9. what would push them to physical altercation or violence during an argument?

as we see in age of extinction, the only altercations lockdown gets into are when he's at the peak of a hunt or when he's directly challenged or feels slighted. however, when it comes to an actual argument, lockdown isn't one to act on impulse. he's an assassin by nature, so he'll be looking for opportune moments to put down whoever goes against him. an argument means a disagreement, and if you disagree with lockdown you're securing your fate there and then. he doesn't stand to be questioned, and if he's bested in physical altercation you can be damn sure he'll get his revenge when you least expect it. to answer the question, lockdown is less of a impulsively violent kind of individual and more of a strike when you least expect it one instead.

13. what does it take to gain their trust?

we see an efficient and balanced dynamic of trust between lockdown and attinger, wherein not only does lockdown trust attinger to correctly convey his terms to the cia but also ensure his safety when docked on earth, but also that the humans won't backstab him during the carrying out of their deal. he also had a trusted romantic interest known as rigged, a decepticon, and he often trusted her with his life and job. this shows lockdown is capable of trust, however, i think his healthy balance is that he doesn't really trust anyone and always has a bigger weapon at the ready should he need it.

lockdown survives betrayals by becoming bigger, better and more prepared. he is a force to be reckoned with. to actively gain his trust would require something he would benefit from, as well as a mutual requirement. if you need something and he does too, there's no reason not to team up. the truth is, lockdown trusts easily when it guarantees him good progress, but he's always ready to stab you in the back before you can stab him. his quote "i don't care" reveals how lowly he holds trust, deeming it to be nothing more than a tool to be used and cast aside when it's no longer required. / prompt.
