Profile: Blackout is seemingly a natural leader. He's charismatic, friendly, and tends to make rousing speeches about honor and duty. He's also an able fighter, with the skill and power to back up his words. That being said, when faced with any bit of pressure or stress, all those fine qualities go out the window. Blackout at heart cares only for his own self-preservation, and will bail at the first sign of defeat. Despite this, he will at least try to hold back some of his more negative traits if he needs to save face in some form.

Abilities: Blackout is well-versed in combat techniques, both short and long ranged. He has above average strength and durability. Blackout also possesses an EMP blast, triggered by stomping his feet onto the ground. This blast can stun other Cybertronians and short out electrical equipment.

Weaknesses: Despite his array of combat skills, Blackout is a coward at spark. While he doesn't balk at combat, he will without fail tuck tail and run if he thinks he can't win. This is especially true when it comes to close-quarters combat. This also makes him incredibly easy to trick into surrender or retreat. His EMP blast quickly can drain him, and can affect allies if used improperly.
