I have no clue. This is the deluxe Blackout, I did not get instructions so whatever automorph feature may or may not be present is unknown to me..

Unless it is the button to open scorponoks "cage".

This is voyager Blackout, there is no deluxe Blackout.

He has 2 automorph gimmicks : as you swing the legs, the torso and head rotate into position; also some minor automorphing on the legs as you pull on the shin guards.

I played with it tonight. It's cool but I'm not super impressed. Evac is a better transforming chopper. Overall, it's the weakest of the 4 Voyager figures I got so far. Now waiting for Megatron tomorrow...

I think blackout is going to be the next boba fett.

Wait, Scorponok is deluxe-sized? I was expecting scout size or smaller. I'm more interested in this now.

Yeah, deluxe, as seen on the DLX Brawl/Barricade/Wreckage packaging.

Actually, you could almost call Blackout a deluxe...

I'm not sure what to think about Blackout. I'm not one to doubt a transformer unless it came out of beast wars but there's something about it I just can't warm up to. Maybe it's the face, maybe it's the back pack weapon. I'll have to see it up close to make up my mind I guess.

I highly doubt that to be honest. But that's your opinion.

I saw this "thing" a few weeks ago when a fellow member showed me some pics.

I thought he was awesome, now im on the side of not so awesome.

It almost looks like a scratch built kit.

That big ass weapon part on the back is lame and reminds me of fort max's stupid ax from cybertron.

ARGH I really loved this guy when I saw him a few weeks ago.

Oh well less money to spend.

And those white Mickey Mouse hands look ridiculous... it looks like he should be driving a steamboat not killing autobots...

Thanks for the pics!

I agree, i hope they add some blackness around the engine parts for realism, and they color the hands a dark black or atleast do it in Machine metal colors

HMMM... not too keen on FAB prime though, Starscream FAB looks ok..I may get him.. just because he has actual hands..
