I like the human characters fighting using cars and (alien) guns much better than what Rise of the Beasts did where they just gave him an Iron Man suit
badass fight. I don't care if people whine that it was unrealistic or whatever that Cade was holding his own against Lockdown. Like someone else said Cade is a much smaller target for Lockdown to hit especially if Lockdown is used to fighting other Cybertronians for example and not smaller creatures. Especially smaller creatures that are equipped with Cybertronian weapons that can actually do a decent amount of damage to him. TLDR: I think this fight is pretty cool. I know not everyone is going to agree with me but I think it's cool and pretty well done.
I do wish the fight had been done differently. I get Lockdown is like the Boba Fett of the Transformers universe being the most dangerous bounty hunter in the universe, but Optimus is also supposed to be the most skilled Autobot warrior there was who could only be matched by Megatron and Sentinel Prime, the fight is way too in Lockdown’s favor to be entertaining or accurate until BumbleBee shows up. I have no problem with Cade using that cybertronian gun to fight as long as they made it clear the only reason Lockdown didn’t kill him immediately was that he was too far away with Bumblebee and Optimus making it impossible to get to him. But they also under utilized Bumblebee, he shows up and kicks Lockdown around with his Jazz like fighting style, sends lockdown flying with a shot to the chest which barely phases him and goes flying from a missed shot from Lockdown, then gets tossed one time after he got grabbed and just disappeared for the rest of the fight. It’s stupid.
It's funny how the only reason why lockdown pinned prime down with his sword is because he Saved cade instead of leaving him to die and take down lockdown
