I'm not an official member of the Lock Legion. I suppose, in the original Legion's terms, I would be considered a "poser Lock." Still, don't think that makes this completely worthless. It took about three weeks to make this.

I've taken several Dilbert comic strips from "Seven Years of Highly Defective People," "Journey to Cubeville," and "Fugitive from the Cubicle Police" (those are all real Dilbert books; look around eBay or something) and animated them, substituting the characters with members of the Lock Legion. I assigned the roles based on my best judgement and what I gathered of their personalities from watching nearly every movie in the main Lock Legion collection, and even a few more. I don't claim they're perfect matches, but I tried my best with what resources I had. For example, TrashLock in the Pointy-Haired Boss because he's the head admin of the forum. Winchester is Dilbert because, well, his shape matches Dilbert's head to be honest. As an extra game, see if you can tell who each Lock is standing in for before I reveal who during the credits.

I don't ask for you to vote 5. I just don't want this to be blammed. So... vote 3. Yeah, that's a good compromise. Vote 3. That should keep it on the site.

...

Oh god I hope this works.

EDIT: Just remembered, I forgot to credit the character pictures during the credits. I got those from the official Dilbert website.

"Pretty good..."

date: August 25, 2007

This flash was pretty good, it was really really interesting because I don't really watch lock flash often. But I found it kind of boring after a while, the voices were kind of all the same type, etc. Pretty good storyline and graphics, I liked the 3D effects on some of the stuff. Good job, overall 7.

"Like Dilbert."

date: August 25, 2007

A lot like dilbert. i liked it! but it isn't really my favorite lock flash if you know what i mean...

Author's Response:

Yeah, I wasn't really going for being the absolute best. Hey, I've only had Flash 8 for three months. I tried my best for my current level of experience, and I think I did pretty well.

"just like dilbert"

date: August 25, 2007

you hit everything right on the money. It was exactly like Dilbert and I love the cartoon, also your movie.

August 25, 2007

Author's Response:

Not to be mean, but if it was exactly like Dilbert, it'd have Dilbert in it. The lines are the same as the comics, with some of the names changed. Maybe that's what you mean.

"Dilbert, hmm."

date: August 25, 2007

I loved the animation... Nice and crisp colors, full voices, subtitles with a nice font, network administrator jokes. I gave you a 4, mainly because I liked how nice the colors were and everything was easy on the eyes.

I don't know what the Lock Legion is, but you seem to do the lock thing pretty well. :D I don't think you'll get blammed.
